As expected, the opponent was just all show and no substance, and the tide of battle quickly turned.
"Your methods are too clever. I was really fooled by your harmless appearance." Shang Hongyu's cheeks were flushed. If she had known that the other party was such a fierce carnivorous man, she would never have dared to flirt with him like that before.
"No wonder this guy has so many female confidantes. He must have pretended to be innocent and harmless at first to make women completely lower their guard before taking advantage of them. Humph! I must tell my little sister to be careful of you and not fall for your tricks." She said angrily.
Upon hearing her mention Shang Liuyu, Zu An's expression turned serious: "Shang Liuyu has been captured by those guys."
"What!" Shang Hongyu's eyes, which had been so alluring they were almost overflowing with tears, suddenly cleared, and she asked anxiously, "How is she now? Has she been abused? We need to save her as soon as possible."
Seeing her flustered appearance, Zuan couldn't help but sigh at how deep their sisterly bond was.
"Don't worry, she's fine for now. They must have just captured Shang Liuyu the day I came to the Dragon Palace and haven't had time to deal with her yet."
“But she’s in danger at any moment if she falls into those guys’ hands.” Shang Hongyu suddenly paused, “Wait, how do you know so much detail?”
“Of course, it was Kachir who told me,” Zaun chuckled. “Speaking of which, I owe my complete trust to your performance last night.”
Shang Hongyu was immediately mortified: "You're going to die!"
“I’m telling the truth,” Zuan laughed. “Actually, I gave myself away from the beginning, but fortunately, what happened yesterday completely dispelled his doubts.”
She then aroused Kachir's suspicion by asking Minister Shang Liuyu about it, and Kachir then took out Xiaoyao Dew to test her and gave her a general account of the matter.
After listening, Shang Hongyu's face became incredibly interesting. After a long while, she said in a low voice, "Why am I the only one who got injured..."
"Where are you injured? I used my internal energy to heal you last night, and your injuries have almost healed," Zu An joked.
"You..." Shang Hongyu's face turned so red that her head was almost steaming. In fact, given her gentle but warm-hearted nature, she wouldn't normally be so shy. You see, she had prepared herself mentally from the beginning, and she did indeed have a high level of affection for him.
But last night was just too intense; all her reserve and pride were completely shattered by these guys, and he even took her true self...
Several times she seemed to lose consciousness for a moment, and after regaining it, she would launch wave after wave of attacks.
It seems I cried uncontrollably many times, but those weren't tears of sadness; rather, they were tears of extreme joy and release.
She had never felt so vulnerable before, as if she were just a toy in someone's arms, to be born or die at their whim.
She knew very well that after last night, she would never forget this man in her lifetime, or even in ten lifetimes.
It's completely taken his shape now, sob sob, so embarrassing...
However, she was, after all, a worldly sea queen, a mature woman. She tried to calm herself down and maintain the atmosphere where she was in control: "Now I finally understand why your cultivation is so high. You have the aptitude of a super-level. Looking at the world, you are probably the only one like that."
The other party's healing effect from that technique alone probably wouldn't be this good, but that super-grade essence blood is truly a great tonic. The nourishment she received last night was even equivalent to many years of cultivation on her own.
No wonder so many women are infatuated with him; humph, they're all vixens lusting after his body.
Zuan smiled but didn't explain. Although his superior talent was useful, the main reason he had grown to this point over the years was because he had been constantly walking on the edge of life and death, which allowed him to continuously evolve and transform.
After holding the other person tenderly in his arms for a while, Zu'an asked:
"By the way, what kind of crown does Shang Liuyu have? The kind that can open the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons?"
Upon hearing his description, Shang Hongyu gritted her teeth and said, "What else could it be but the Dragon King's crown? It must be the Dragon King's crown, symbolizing the power and status of the Sea King. It is the most orthodox symbol of the Dragon Kings throughout history, and it is usually only taken out on a very few formal and solemn occasions such as enthronement, marriage, and ancestor worship."
“Ancestor worship…” Zu An thought to himself, no wonder that’s what’s needed to open the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, and then asked curiously, “Why is such an important crown in Shang Liuyu’s hands?”
"It's obvious without even guessing that the Dragon King coveted my little sister. Knowing her personality, she definitely wouldn't accept his gift, so he asked her to keep it safe. That way, my little sister couldn't refuse," Shang Hongyu sneered. "With this connection and excuse, he can legitimately visit my little sister often."
Zuan: "..."
I initially felt some sympathy for the Dragon King, but now it seems he deserved it.
"I never expected that you would gain the trust of those guys so quickly. You really impress me," Shang Hongyu exclaimed. The fact that you could even obtain such information far exceeded her expectations.
Zaun's expression was somewhat strange: "Actually, that's not all. Kalchi also made me impersonate the true Dragon King."
Shang Hongyu was somewhat puzzled: "Aren't you impersonating the Dragon King right now?"
“You don’t understand what’s going on…” Zaun then explained Kalch’s plan.
After hearing this, Shang Hongyu's expression became quite interesting. After a long while, she finally exhaled and said, "It can be like this?"
At first, she anticipated that this impersonation would be fraught with danger and that she would be exposed by the imposters if she wasn't careful.
