Within a few breaths, the sea patrol yakshas fell to the ground one by one, their faces ashen, and many parts of their bodies had begun to rot, clearly indicating that they had been dead for a long time.
At this moment, Zu'an approached the woman and said, "I saved your life, how should you thank me?"
Seeing the other person bathed in white light, the woman was somewhat dazed, muttering, "Are you a god?"
Zuan was taken aback, then put away the Primordial Chaos Scripture, and the light around him gradually dissipated: "It's just some purification power, nothing to mention."
At this point, the woman finally realized: "Who are you?"
"Shouldn't I be asking you that? Who exactly are you?" Zuan looked her over with amusement. "Or should I call you... the Mermaid Queen?"
The woman's expression changed: "How could you tell... no, I'm not!"
Zuan casually flicked his wrist, severing the demon-binding rope binding her: "I'm not stupid. With such a graceful figure, yet such an ugly face, perhaps those guys in the restaurant were fooled by you, but I know you must have used some clever magic to conceal your appearance."
There was something else he was too embarrassed to say: the fresh scent emanating from her was completely out of place with the stinky sea creatures in the restaurant. Besides, while appearances might be faked, the feel of her skin was something no ordinary woman could possess.
"So you knew my identity from the beginning, and then deliberately came to... to take liberties with me?" The woman reached up and wiped her face, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. Her skin was as smooth as milk, with no trace of the previous sallow bumps.
At this moment, a faint blush appeared on her face, whether from embarrassment or anger was unclear.
Especially when she thought about how she had deliberately moved closer to him in the restaurant, and how she had even snuggled into his arms to avoid pursuers, she wished there was a crack in the ground she could disappear into.
At the time, I had a different appearance, and no one knew my identity, so it wasn't a big deal to act a little out of line.
But now, ahhh, I want to die...
Anger from Shang Hongyu: +233 +233 +233...
Upon seeing the name appear in the background, Zu An's face showed an expression of certainty. In fact, she looked seven or eight parts similar to Shang Liuyu, but the biggest difference was their temperament.
Shang Liuyu's temperament is like the drifting clouds in the sky and the clear spring in the forest, always giving a sense of purity and indifference to the mortal world.
But Shang Hongyu is more charming and beautiful, and she has a unique sense of being a respectable woman. Could it be because of her status as a married woman?
"Wait, you're Chiwen's mother?" Zuan suddenly thought of the unfortunate child he had met before. This woman in front of him looked far too young.
"Chiwen?" Shang Hongyu couldn't help but smile, thinking of that mischievous and somewhat annoying fellow. "Chiwen is my eldest sister's child. It's just a pity that my eldest sister passed away from illness back then, so the child lacked some guidance."
Zuan: "..."
That Dragon King is really outrageous; he captured both sisters.
At this moment, Shang Hongyu's face suddenly turned serious: "Don't change the subject. Were you doing that on purpose just now?"
“No, that’s not it,” Zu’an thought it was necessary to explain, considering that the other party was Shang Liuyu’s sister. “At first, I just thought you were a noble lady from some family who was traveling around the world for fun. After all, such things happen every day in the world. They are basically women who have taken storybooks seriously and have unrealistic fantasies about the world.”
The Mermaid Queen: "..."
"It wasn't until those sea patrol yakshas came looking for you that I started to have some doubts for the first time because of your nervous appearance," Zaun chuckled. "But your weapon is a needle, and I don't think I've ever heard of a mermaid queen using such a weapon, so I guessed that you might be a manta ray."
The Mermaid Queen: "..."
"Of course, most importantly, I don't think the Mermaid Queen would willingly snuggle up to a man." Zuan's expression was a bit strange as he said this. If the Dragon King found out that he had taken advantage of his wife, it would be troublesome.
And what should I say to Shang Liuyu? Will she believe I'm innocent?
"You still dare to talk back!" The Mermaid Queen was somewhat embarrassed and indignant. She subconsciously raised her fist to punch his chest, but halfway up she realized that such a gesture would seem too intimate, so she quickly withdrew her hand.
Zuan coughed lightly: "You can't blame me for this. Just now, these sea patrol yakshas emitting black smoke came looking for you, and you were injured. Their combat skills are all at a very high level, which only the royal family of the sea race possesses. I would be a fool if I still couldn't guess it."
Shang Hongyu took a deep breath, finally calming herself down a bit: "Then who are you?"
He then added, "Don't try that old 'why bother with formalities' act again. With your cultivation level, you can't possibly be nobody among the human race. You must be some important figure."
He frowned as he spoke: "Has the human race become so prosperous now that it has produced such a top expert again?"
Zuan was a little embarrassed: "Actually, we have some history..."
Shang Hongyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Are you trying to take advantage of me again?"
“No, that’s not it…” Zuan had no choice but to tell her his identity.
Shang Hongyu stared at him in shock: "Impossible, I've seen Zu'an's portrait before..."
“Come to think of it, I’ve seen portraits of you before, and you didn’t look like this.” Helpless, Zuan had no choice but to remove the mask from his face, revealing his true appearance.
"I just didn't want to reveal my true appearance to outsiders," Shang Hongyu said, her red lips slightly parted after seeing his face. After a while, she sighed with a complicated expression. "So it really is you. Well, at least I wasn't taken advantage of by outsiders."
