Seeing his surprised expression, Shang Liuyu realized that the other party was doing this for her sake, and it would be unreasonable for her to be ungrateful and angry.

Then she continued, "You should go and rest with your sister. You are the Dragon King. What kind of decorum would it be if outsiders saw you sleeping in the outer room? Demons and those guys from hell would also be suspicious."

Zuan was stunned. Really? She actually wanted me to go keep her sister company?

At this moment, Shang Hongyu's eyes lit up, and she suddenly said with a smile, "Why don't you go and sleep with your brother-in-law, little sister? I'll sleep outside. Anyway, in the eyes of those demons, that imposter is lecherous, and sleeping with you would fit his persona."

Zuan: "???"

These two sisters are both always stirring up trouble.

To everyone's surprise, Shang Liuyu suddenly agreed: "Okay, I'll sleep with my brother-in-law."

Zuan: "..."

Such a good thing?

Shang Hongyu was also dumbfounded. She originally just wanted to tease her sister, knowing that she would never agree. Who knew that things would go so wrong?

At this moment, Shang Liuyu chuckled: "Just kidding. Look at how reluctant you are to part with it. You treat it like a treasure, but to me it's just grass."

Only then did Shang Hongyu realize she had been tricked. Embarrassed and annoyed, she snorted, "Anyway, we're all sisters, so I won't mind. Let's stop pushing each other around and go inside to sleep. That white jade bed is much more comfortable than the one for the maids in the outer room."

Zuan's eyes lit up immediately; this wasn't out of the question...

A blush crept across Shang Liuyu's face, and she pinched her sister in an annoyed tone: "I'm not going to play along with your nonsense!"

After saying that, he lay down on the bed next to him, pretending to be asleep.

Zuan couldn't help but glance at her bare, jade-like feet; they were truly works of art.

Seemingly sensing his gaze, Shang Liuyu tucked her feet further into her skirt, then whispered in his ear, "Don't bully my sister anymore!"

Zuan naturally understood what she meant by bullying, and thought to himself, "Now that you know who I am, how dare you still act recklessly next door?"

After Shang Hongyu and Zu An returned to the house, she suddenly leaned close to Zu An and said, "To be honest, when I suggested that my sister come along, were you tempted?"

"No." Zu'an said honestly, naturally he couldn't admit it.

“But I saw your eyes light up at the time.”

You've misjudged.

"Why don't you go and tell her your true identity? Given your relationship, she might actually come in."

"..."

Zuan thought he was overthinking it; she already knew, and the fact that she didn't kill him was already a big favor to her.

"What exactly is your relationship with her?" Seeing that he ignored her, Shang Hongyu came closer again, curiously gossiping.

“We’re just good friends,” Zuan replied, recalling the scene from their first meeting, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"Hmph, judging from your smile, you're not a simple friend. My little sister often mentions you, and I've never seen her care so much for any man in all these years," Shang Hongyu snorted.

"Is that so?" Zu An had always felt that although Shang Liuyu treated him better than others, it wasn't by much. The relationship between the two seemed to be separated by a thin film, always appearing somewhat distant, and they hadn't gotten any closer.

Come to think of it, the way she broke down after learning about my relationship with her sister not long ago actually made her seem more approachable and genuine.

I mustn't let her know this, or she might really kill me.

"Do you want me to help you?" Shang Hongyu snuggled in his arms, looking up at him with a smile.

"Help with what?" Zu An was taken aback, subconsciously looking at her moist red lips.

Feeling his gaze, Shang Hongyu blushed deeply: "Of course I'm helping you pursue that girl! What are you thinking!"

Zuan was a little embarrassed, since she had said the same thing before: "Uh, I'd better not take this."

What a joke! Shang Liuyu already knows his identity, and now she wants her sister to match them up?

This is no way to court death!

"Why? With my help as your older sister, I guarantee you'll achieve twice the results with half the effort."

"I hope you won't die of loneliness in the future."

"What did you say?"

"nothing."

After chatting for a while, Shang Hongyu suddenly bit her red lips and kissed his neck and ear.

"Uh, your sister is still next door, so let's not." Seeing her watery eyes, Zu An remembered Shang Liuyu's warning and hurriedly said.

"What are you afraid of? She doesn't know who you are," Shang Hongyu whispered in his ear. "Besides, weren't you even more excited than usual before?"

Her words stirred up memories of that night, and Zu An couldn't help but swallow hard.

At this moment, Shang Hongyu sensed his change, chuckled softly, and then leaned down to kiss him.

"Oh~" Zuan took a deep breath. Sister Shang, it's not that I don't want to keep my promise, it's just that your sister is too... proactive.

Meanwhile, Shang Liuyu lay in the outer room, tossing and turning but unable to fall asleep. For some reason, she always felt a tightness in her chest and abdomen.

She subconsciously picked up the xun (a type of ancient Chinese wind instrument) at her waist, wanting to play a tune to relieve her complicated feelings. Over the years, she has always relied on music to relieve her bad mood.

However, she quickly realized that she was now hiding in the Dragon Palace, and playing music would easily expose her, so she had no choice but to put the xun back.

This made me even more frustrated.

She soon heard music, but it was coming from next door.
