This must be the abandoned nest of some kind of giant bird. She had gathered up some bones from before, probably afraid that throwing them out of the cave would leave a trace.
Such a cave should have been incredibly smelly, but Shang Hongyu somehow managed to make the air completely free of any odor, instead emitting a faint, pleasant fragrance.
On the other side, a layer of dry grass covered the boulder, which was quite neat. However, the entire cave was far too simple and did not suit the identity of the mermaid queen at all.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh. Please make yourself at home. There's no tea here, so I can't entertain you." After landing, Shang Hongyu left Zuan's embrace, using the hair that had been ruffled by the sea breeze to cover her slightly flushed face.
“I have some.” Zuan casually grabbed from the void, and a tea set quickly appeared. He picked some spiritual tea and put it in the pot, then poured in the spiritual spring water offered by various sects. Then, a wisp of flame rose from his fingertip and quickly boiled the water, brewing a pot of tea.
Shang Hongyu stared in disbelief for a long time before finally saying, "That just now seemed to be a kind of real fire. If people knew that you used such precious real fire to brew tea, they would scold you for wasting such a precious resource."
As the queen of the sea tribe, her vision was far from ordinary.
True fire is said to be born from heaven and earth, and each type is extremely powerful. More importantly, it can be used to refine weapons and pills, and can produce the most exquisite pills that ordinary fire cannot.
However, real fire is difficult to control, and one can easily injure oneself if one is not careful. Yet the other party can use it to boil such a small pot of tea with ease. This skill is truly amazing.
"Shouldn't these things make life more convenient and people happier? Otherwise, we'll just become slaves to those things." Zu'an smiled and poured the other person a pot of tea.
"That's true." Shang Hongyu picked up her teacup and took a sip. She felt a refreshing fragrance spreading through her body, which calmed her emotions and even stabilized her injuries.
She took a few more sips, somewhat surprised; the tea was indeed very special.
She couldn't help but steal a glance at Zu An. Originally, she thought his behavior was a bit too refined and indulgent, and she was somewhat dismissive of it.
Only now do I realize that the other person did it for my own good, and I can't help but sigh that it's no wonder my proud and arrogant sister treats him so differently.
"Your Majesty, can you tell me what exactly happened?" Zu'an looked at her curiously, his mind filled with too many questions. What were these two up to? Was he also part of their marital game?
"The Dragon King is in trouble. The Dragon King we know now is an imposter." Shang Hongyu's first words were like a thunderbolt.
"What?" Zu'an was truly shocked. He knew that the Dragon King's cultivation was no less than that of the Demon Emperor and Zhao Hao, so how could something have suddenly happened to him?
And what's with this fake Dragon King? How could someone possibly impersonate one of the many top experts in the sea tribe?
At this point, Shang Hongyu said, "A few days ago, the Dragon King went out for a trip. When he came back, he was acting strangely. Now that I think about it, he must have been replaced at that time."
"I wonder where the Dragon King went?" After the initial shock, Zu'an believed Shang Hongyu's judgment. After all, they were husband and wife, and she was a woman of extraordinary character who would not joke about such a thing. So he tried to find clues from some subtle clues.
"The Clam Girl," Shang Hongyu said with a stern face.
"A clam maiden?" Zu An was taken aback; this was outside his area of expertise. "Is there some dangerous place over there?"
"No, he just went there to have fun. Clam women are amorous, what sea creature man wouldn't like that?" Shang Hongyu sneered.
Zuan: "..."
How embarrassing! We originally wanted to investigate the mystery of the Dragon King's accident, but it turned into a scene of jealousy and rivalry.
“You don’t need to feel embarrassed,” Shang Hongyu said, as if she had seen through his thoughts. “Dragons are inherently lewd. The Dragon King’s philandering and lust are well-known. Basically, every woman in the sea who is beautiful cannot escape his favor.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Zu'an with a half-smile: "It is said that the Regent is also a womanizer. I think you are quite innocent. I have also heard about your female confidantes. Compared with the number of women the Dragon King has, they are simply not worth mentioning."
Zuan: "..."
Well, I've gotten myself into this mess.
It's true that the Dragon King is quite absurd. He has nine sons, each different from the others, and each born to a female of a different race. Each of them is also strangely shaped.
Wait a minute, a female ghost, runes, a fox spirit...
I don't think I'm doing much better myself.
At this moment, Shang Hongyu's smile faded: "He goes out to hunt for women every few days, and I've gotten used to it over the years and haven't taken it seriously. Who knew that after he came back this time, he was a completely different person."
"What changes? Didn't all those experts among the sea creatures notice anything wrong with this Dragon King?" Zu'an asked, voicing his doubts.
“Those people are far away, how could they understand us women? How could a woman not be able to tell the difference between her husband and her husband?” Shang Hongyu said coldly.
"Oh..." Zu'an gave him an "I understand" look.
Shang Hongyu was taken aback, then a blush rose to her face: "What are you thinking! I didn't let him take advantage of me. It's just that we've been married for so many years, and I'm already too familiar with him, so I realized something was wrong as soon as he came back."
She didn't understand why she had inexplicably decided to explain such a thing.
Zuan was a little embarrassed. He had indeed misunderstood something and had initially felt it was a pity.
Do you know who that person is?
Shang Hongyu shook her head slightly: "I don't know. It's a bit amazing. That person impersonating the Dragon King didn't have any flaws at all. If I hadn't been so familiar with the Dragon King over the years, I probably would have had a hard time telling the difference."
