Zuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
"Are you very disappointed?" Shang Hongyu bent down and leaned close to him, then playfully tilted her head to examine his expression.
Zuan: "..."
He couldn't be bothered to respond; this woman was really addicted to playing around.
At this moment, Shang Hongyu laughed: "Those guys are despicable, but their plan is perfect. If it were a fake Dragon King, he would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity. He would definitely trick me into drinking this stuff and then take advantage of me. Mermaids value chastity the most, so I would have no face to say anything afterward and could only accept the facts."
Zuan asked curiously, "Does your merfolk have such a tradition?"
“Of course,” Shang Hongyu said with a hint of pride, “For thousands of years, we mermaid women have always been faithful to one man. It is this pure reputation that makes it undisputed that the sea queen belongs to our mermaid clan.”
"So if those guys really succeed, I absolutely cannot say anything then, because it's not just about me, or the mermaid race today, but about ruining the reputation of the mermaid race over ten thousand years, and even bringing shame to the mermaid race for generations to come."
At this point, a hint of lingering fear flashed across Shang Hongyu's face.
Zuan was both impressed and amused upon hearing this. He said that during his visit to the Sea Clan, he clearly felt that the atmosphere here was very open, even more so than that of the Demon Clan.
But the merfolk are so pure and conservative, they are truly an anomaly.
Speaking of Ao Yong, is he out of his mind? Knowing the traditions of the merfolk, how could he still dare to love his sister-in-law?
Just then, Kachir's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, I will stand guard outside tonight to prevent any villains from disturbing us."
Zuan: "..."
This guy makes it sound nice, but it's obvious he's here to spy on us.
Wait, did I give myself away somewhere?
He reviewed everything and confirmed that there shouldn't be any problems.
The biggest flaw is likely bringing the queen back and siding with the fake dragon king. Such an action is indeed risky, so the other side needs to nip all potential threats in the bud.
Shang Hongyu blushed and secretly spat, "This guy is shameless!"
Zuan responded to the door, "No need to trouble you. There are maids to serve you here. You should go back and rest."
It would be easy to fool those palace maids, but this guy's cultivation level is too high. Although he can't see what's going on inside the room, the movements inside definitely can't be hidden from his ears and eyes.
“Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. However, it is my duty to protect Your Majesty and the Queen, and I dare not slacken in the slightest,” Kachir replied. “You should also remember your responsibilities, Your Majesty.”
Zu An gave a wry smile. Well, the other party was urging him on.
"What do we do now?" Shang Hongyu bit her lip, looking somewhat uneasy.
Zuan replied telepathically, "How about I set up an aura to isolate everything in the room? That way he won't hear anything. I can tell him it's all taken care of tomorrow."
“No, the other party seems to have some suspicions. We can still explain it away by saying the fake Dragon King is lecherous, but if you deliberately conceal it like this, he might doubt your identity, and then we’ll all fail.” Shang Hongyu shook her head and refused.
Zuan rolled his eyes: "What else can we do? We can't just do *that* to keep it from him, can we?"
