Zu'an was taken aback by this: "Wouldn't it be easy for me to expose my weakness in front of his other concubines?"
"You wish!" Shang Hongyu glared at him. "I am the only queen in the Dragon Palace. As for the other concubines, they are mostly in their respective clans. That's why the Dragon King is always out and about all year round. So you won't be able to see those concubines for the time being."
Zuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."
What a joke! With his current status, how could he let those female demons take advantage of him?
Shang Hongyu's face suddenly flushed: "You rascal, why do you always love to pry into our married life? You even know our most private secrets. Tell me about your romantic affairs, like the rumors that you slept with the Little Demon Queen, is that true?"
Seeing the gossipy look in the other person's eyes, Zuan was speechless for a moment, and directly changed the subject: "Ahem, if one day I also need you to pretend to be my wife, then I'll tell you the secrets required for these missions."
"Ugh, tell me, tell me~" Shang Hongyu came to his side and tugged at his sleeve, acting coquettishly.
Even with Zu An's resolute will, her sweet, coquettish voice made his heart skip a beat; this woman really was a bit...
In the end, Zu An remained steadfast in his Daoist resolve and resolutely ignored her coquettishness. After setting up the formation, he tied Shang Hongyu to a stone pillar.
While tying it, she asked the other person, "Isn't it a bit too tight?"
"It's alright, if we're not careful, the Dragon King will become suspicious." When it came to serious matters, Shang Hongyu became serious as well.
Zuan nodded and continued working on it.
After a while, Shang Hongyu blushed and said, "Why do I feel a little ashamed that you tied these ropes like this?"
At this moment, the rope and her complex and graceful curves were perfectly combined, highlighting her proud figure and feminine beauty. Because she was a mermaid, her body was much more flexible than that of ordinary people. In addition, she possessed both the dignity of peace and prosperity and the passionate and charming allure, truly creating a work of art with a strong visual impact. Just looking at it was an ultimate enjoyment.
Zu An couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He had never really tied up anyone before, except for the time when he tied up Tu Shan Yu in the sky.
So I subconsciously followed the binding method from back then, while also incorporating some methods I'd seen in pictures online from my previous life.
Netizens misled me!
He spoke nonsense with a straight face: "This is called the Eight Binding Techniques of Immortals, which is the most profound binding technique in the world and is less likely to arouse the suspicion of the Dragon King."
"Really?" Shang Hongyu was skeptical.
Zu An's heart raced a few points. He took out some protective magic items and talismans and gave them to her: "Keep these with you. They can be activated to protect you if you encounter danger."
While explaining how to use it, he stuffed the item into her arms.
Shang Hongyu was momentarily lost in thought, looking at him with a complicated expression: "Are you this nice to all the women around you?"
It was clear that he had made all these magical artifacts and talismans himself, each containing extremely profound insights. Even in the Dragon Palace, they would be extremely precious items, yet he had given so many to him so casually.
Apart from her deceased father, there was truly no other man in the world who had considered her so thoughtfully and considerately.
Zuan smiled slightly upon hearing this: "I only do this to my good friends."
"Hmph, I bet all those pretty women around you are your good friends." Although Shang Hongyu said this, she was secretly quite pleased.
Zuan wisely didn't reply, and waved goodbye to her: "I'm going to the Dragon Palace now."
Watching his figure disappear into the cave entrance, Shang Hongyu felt a pang of reluctance: "You must come back soon, otherwise if other men pass by, they might get bullied, and you'll regret it then."
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Zu An was speechless: "Not to mention that I will set up a concealment formation at the cave entrance, there are few people in the world who can break it. Even if someone really breaks in, you can break free of the restraints by following the technique I just taught you. In addition, with so many magic treasures protecting you, how could such a thing happen!"
That woman is such a drama queen!
"I don't care. What if I get nervous and forget the incantation? Come back quickly." Shang Hongyu stared straight at him.
Sensing the other person's affection, Zuan hummed in agreement: "I'll be back soon."
...
After leaving the island, Zaun flew all the way back to the island where the ship had been docked.
In fact, with his current cultivation level, plus Lan Fu's abilities, he could go directly from the sea to the Dragon Palace, but that would cause too much of a commotion.
The fake Dragon King and his subordinates will definitely be extra vigilant, and then mobilize all the experts of the sea race to deal with him, which is not the situation he wants to see.
Upon arriving at the enormous conch-shaped building at the very center of the island, they were quickly stopped by shrimp soldiers and crab generals: "Halt! Do you have any clearance documents or other permits?"
“No, but I have this.” Zuan took out a piece of paper with one hand.
Upon hearing the first half of his sentence, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals were about to lash out, but after seeing what he was holding, their expressions changed, for it was the Mermaid Queen's wanted poster.
Since the Queen was involved, no one dared to neglect him. The shrimp soldiers and crab generals hurriedly sent someone to escort him into a nearby room and entertain him.
Not long after, a burly man over two meters tall arrived with a group of his men after hearing the news.
Seeing his mouthful of sharp teeth and the unique patterns on his neck, it's not hard to recognize that his true form is probably a shark or something similar.
"This is our Shark Lord in charge here," the shrimp soldier next to him introduced.
