Shang Hongyu glared at him, her beautiful eyes full of coquettishness: "Hmph, you wish! I'll just put on a show to fool him."

Zu An looked at him strangely: "You can even perform this?"

To be honest, this kind of thing is different from others, and it's probably not easy to hide it from a shrewd person.

Shang Hongyu blushed: "Don't you have that strange healing method? Help me out, let me... I should be able to perform once I've prepared my emotions. But you're not allowed to laugh at me then."

Zuan: "???"

This woman's thought process is bizarre; she's actually concerned about whether or not someone is laughing.

He refused outright: "No, that's playing with fire, you won't be able to handle it."

"Hmph, I trust my reason. Have you forgotten that we mermaids are the most loyal of all the sea creatures?" Shang Hongyu's eyes were full of determination.

Zuan: "..."

Just then, Kachir's urgent voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, how is the Queen now? Has she taken the healing medicine we found earlier? Should we send some more from the imperial physician?"

"No need, I've already given her a healing elixir," Zu'an had no choice but to reply.

Having exchanged a secret code only the two of them understood, Kachir was relieved: "That's good. This medicine is very effective and will take effect quickly. The Queen will never forget it."

Inside the room, Shang Hongyu was already blushing with embarrassment. She knew exactly what had happened and cursed under her breath, "They're all a bunch of filthy and shameless bastards."

Zuan: "..."

I feel like I got caught in the crossfire.

However, Shang Hongyu quickly composed herself and took Zu An's hand to the white jade bed next to her: "Let's begin, otherwise if we take too long, that guy will become suspicious."

Zuan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't think of any other way, so he could only say, "Then I'm sorry to trouble you. If you can't hold on, just tell me and I'll stop."

"Okay." Shang Hongyu took a deep breath, sat cross-legged on the bed, and kept giving herself positive self-talk: it's just healing, I can definitely do it.

For thousands of years, the mermaid race has had a lineage of loyalty. Although I was somewhat intimate with him before, it was all for the sake of avenging my husband and for the peace of the sea race.

Moreover, even though the two of them spent every day together and were intimate, she always kept to herself and avoided taking the last step. Now that she is just healing, there should be even less of a problem.

Zu An sat down behind her, thinking to himself that the Dragon Palace was truly extravagant. Such a top-grade spiritual jade was used as a bed. The spiritual energy on it was many times more abundant than in other places. Sleeping on it would allow one to cultivate automatically, which was equivalent to having several times more cultivation time than other cultivators.

He composed himself and pointed a finger at Shang Hongyu's vest, thinking that he could take this opportunity to heal her injuries.

Feeling a warm breath enter her body, Shang Hongyu subconsciously let out a soft hum.

"Say 'stop' immediately if you feel any discomfort," Zu An instructed before beginning to circulate the Primordial Chaos Scripture to heal her injuries.

At first, Shang Hongyu was quite nervous, but when she sensed that the other party's energy was warm, there was nothing unusual about it.

It seems that the incident in the cave last time was due to being caught off guard.

At the same time, she felt a little anxious. In her current state, it would be difficult for her to muster enough emotion. Although she could perform directly, it would probably be difficult to perform it so well. After all, she was the most loyal and virtuous mermaid queen.

While she was lost in thought, her expression suddenly changed.

As the other person's warm energy flowed through her limbs and bones, her body began to feel strange.

Her snow-white skin quickly turned a rosy blush, though she had been biting her red lips, trying to suppress her shyness.

However, thinking about my current situation, I realized that this was exactly the effect I wanted, so how could I suppress it?

Her red lips parted slightly, and a flood of emotions was about to well up in her throat, but suddenly she bit her lip and swallowed it back: "You're not allowed to laugh at me."

Zuan: "..."

Okay, I won't laugh.

"You...you're not allowed to have any wild thoughts either."

"good."

Having received the other party's promise, Shang Hongyu finally released her restraint and let out a soft hum.

Zuan's heart stirred upon hearing this. He remembered how he had helped her isolate her aura and watched her swim in the ocean, and how he had heard her sing. It was truly one of the most beautiful and melodious voices in the world.

I've heard Shang Liuyu sing before, and she also has a heavenly voice, but the two sisters have completely different styles.

Shang Liuyu's voice is more ethereal and refined, while Shang Hongyu's is sweet and gentle.

At this moment, Shang Hongyu's humming was even more beautiful and alluring than her previous singing.

Shang Hongyu was drenched in sweat; the light gauze covering her body was already soaked through and clung tightly to her skin. The entire room was filled with a rich and refreshing fragrance.

Zuan's heart skipped a beat. Could this also be a talent of the merfolk?

However, considering that ambergris is produced by sperm whales, it seems reasonable that mermaids have some exotic fragrance.

"Should we hold on for a bit?" Zu An asked with concern, worried that Shang Hongyu wouldn't be able to handle it.

Speaking of which, even Yan Xuehen, who was as cold as ice and had reached the state of transcending emotions, could not withstand the strange primordial energy generated by the combination of the Golden Phoenix's power and the healing method of the Primordial Chaos Scripture.

Unexpectedly, Shang Hongyu grabbed his hand as he was about to withdraw it and shook her head slightly: "I can still hold on. That guy outside hasn't left yet. We can't let all our efforts go to waste."

As the queen of the sea tribe, her cultivation level was naturally not low, so she could certainly sense the guard captain Kachir who was guarding outside.

"Alright then." Zuan couldn't help but sigh that this woman, though seemingly weak, was actually quite strong-willed, even though her voice was trembling like that.
