Zuan was speechless for a moment: "Miss, your thought process is really quite peculiar."
“Isn’t that right?” Zheng Dan sneered, “You said before that you would come when you transformed into human form… and you would come…”
Her face flushed as if covered with rouge, but she couldn't bring herself to say the rest: "How could Azu withstand your blow? Poor Azu, for my sake..."
Seeing the tears streaming down her face as she spoke, Zu'an knew that she was probably in a daze because of the effects of the drug and the shock she had just experienced.
Zuan could only point to the mountain of corpses beside him and say, "Look over there, that evil dragon is dead."
Zheng Dan was stunned and subconsciously turned his head. Sure enough, he saw the red dragon's corpse. He was both surprised and delighted: "Is it really dead?"
"Of course, I killed it." Zuan puffed out his chest as he spoke, thinking it was a pity that he didn't have a straight man to explain the dragon's cultivation level. It would be a bit beneath him to explain it himself.
He never even considered having Mi Li help him with his comedic performance; compared to saving face, his life was more important.
"Ah Zu, it really is you!" Zheng Dan's voice choked instantly, and she threw herself into his arms. "Are you really alright?"
As she spoke, she checked his back, clearly indicating that the previous scene had left a deep shadow on her.
Feeling the amazing heat and elasticity of the delicate body in his arms, Zu An's heart beat faster. However, worried that she might be overthinking things, he quickly composed himself and gently patted her back to comfort her: "I have a protective treasure that blocked that attack for me."
“So that’s how it is…” Zheng Dan pursed her lips, then quickly buried her head in his chest again.
Zuan channeled strands of cold energy into her body using the Snowflake Divine Sword, attempting to neutralize the effects of the medicine. Unfortunately, his cold energy was immediately swallowed by the endless heat, causing him to hesitate and say, "This poison you've been given is rather troublesome..."
Zheng Dan gave a soft "Mmm": "Yes, I know."
Zuan looked completely bewildered. "Do you know what that means?"
He had originally thought that Zheng Dan's cultivation was higher than his, and as the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, she should be knowledgeable and experienced over the years, and might know of any other ways to rescue him. But she didn't say anything.
"Empress, do you know of any other antidote for this poison?" Zu An called out to Mi Li in his mind again, thinking that if Ji Xiaoxi were here, she would probably have a way.
“The poison she’s been given is extraordinary, far more potent than the poison of the Crimson Scale Python in the last secret realm. I’m afraid there’s no other cure,” Mi Li said with a sneer. “Don’t be so smug. You know there’s only one cure, yet you still ask this question on purpose. It’s really despicable.”
Zuan looked annoyed: "I really am a gentleman for asking such a question."
Mi Li: "Hehe!"
Zu'an had no choice but to say to Zheng Dan, "The only way to cure your poison is...the only way is..."
Zheng Dan bit her lip, her voice barely audible: "Thank you for your trouble."
In fact, her willpower was strong enough. If it were any other woman, after being poisoned like this for so long, she would probably have completely lost her mind and only had her body's instincts left.
Of course, this was also thanks to the fright brought by the dragon just now, and the icy energy that Zaun lost to her later, which allowed her to barely maintain a sliver of consciousness.
But the more she did this, the more shy she became.
"No trouble at all," Zu An said with an embarrassed smile. What man would find such a thing troublesome? You know, those people who were chasing after the two of them just now were probably hoping to do this kind of troublesome thing.
Hearing him say that, Zheng Dan lowered his head even further and dared not say a word.
Zuan looked up at the cave not far away, remembering that the environment inside was quite nice, and then carried Zheng Dan inside.
Anyway, with the red dragon's corpse outside and its lingering power still intact, no ferocious beast dared to approach.
As for people, this is already deep within Dragon Hidden Mountain, and it's impossible for anyone to come here. Even if someone did come, they couldn't take away such a huge dragon body.
Halfway there, Zu'an suddenly asked Mi Li, "Empress, you won't be peeking later, will you?"
Anger from Mi Li +513!
"Who am I? How could I possibly peek into your sordid affairs!" Mi Li's voice rang out, filled with embarrassment and anger. "I'm going back to sleep. Don't bother me again."
After that, there was no more sound.
He called her name quietly a few more times, but there was no response. Zu An finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As Zu An carried Zheng Dan into the cave, he was about to say something when a pair of soft red lips pressed against his.
Clearly, Zheng Dan's medicinal effects have been fully realized.
With a warm and fragrant woman in his arms, and feeling the woman's initiative, if Zu An still remained unmoved, he wouldn't be a man.
Their breathing and movements became more intense.
Zheng Dan's dress was already thin, and a large part of it had been cut off by the red dragon earlier, so there wasn't much left.
Almost in the blink of an eye, her dress transformed into fluttering butterflies, revealing the perfect body that countless members of the Giant Whale Gang fantasized about in the middle of the night.
Suddenly, Zheng Dan seemed to regain a bit of clarity. She hurriedly pressed down on Zu An, her eyes brimming with tears, mixed with a hint of struggle and fear. She pleaded softly, "No...no, I can't ruin my health before I get married."
Her upbringing as a well-bred young lady has etched many things deep into her soul, and even in this situation, she still remembers to uphold her principles for many years.
It would have been better if she hadn't said anything; the more she said it, the more Zu'an couldn't stand it.
Last time, she ruined everything, so why would we make the same mistake again?
