Shang Liuyu quickly changed the subject: "I'm afraid I'll have to go into seclusion in the Dragon Palace for a while, so I won't be able to stay with you."
The inheritance she received will take her a long time to digest. It's a rare opportunity. If it drags on for too long and many of the knowledge left by the mermaid ancestor is lost and she doesn't learn it, then she will be a sinner against the entire mermaid race.
Zuan nodded: "I also need to go back to the human race to take care of some things."
First, they wanted to save Gao Ying; second, they were worried about the safety of Liu Ning and the others.
Each lost in their own thoughts, they walked on and on. Suddenly, Shang Liuyu frowned and stopped in his tracks.
She was still very weak at this time, and after walking for a while, she felt dizzy.
Zuan said apologetically, "It was my carelessness. You need to rest now. Let me carry you."
Shang Liuyu blushed slightly and subconsciously refused, "No need, I just need to rest for a bit, sigh..."
Before she could finish speaking, the other person grabbed her legs and pulled her into their arms.
Shang Liuyu pursed her lips and ultimately said nothing more.
The two walked forward in each other's arms. The entire Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons was unusually quiet, and Shang Liuyu could even clearly hear the heartbeat coming from the other's chest.
No matter how carefree she was, she was still an inexperienced young girl, and now that she was so intimately close to a man, her face couldn't help but turn red.
An unusual atmosphere seemed to permeate the air. The two walked forward in silence, and before they knew it, they arrived at the hall where the dragon god statue had been.
The main hall was filled with severed limbs and broken arms, and the seawater inside was stained red.
This is the scene where those demons slaughtered Ao Yong and his group who had rebelled.
Shang Liuyu said sadly, "These are all fellow sea creatures after all, and it's truly pitiful that they ended up lying dead in the wilderness."
Zuan stopped and activated the power of the Crown of the Sea God, manipulating the surrounding seawater to wrap up the mangled corpses and send them to some caves in the distant Dragon Tomb Mountain. Then, torrents washed over the entire hall, and soon the bloodstains disappeared, and the hall returned to its peaceful and solemn state.
“I have settled them on Dragon Tomb Mountain, so they can be considered to have returned to their roots,” Zuan said.
"Thank you!" Shang Liuyu knew that Ao Yong and the others deserved their punishment for their rebellion, and he would never have done these things if it weren't for his own sake.
"There's no need for thanks between us." Zu An smiled and continued walking out with her in his arms.
Shang Liuyu was initially a little stiff, but now her body gradually softened, and she naturally nestled in his arms, as if being held by him like this wasn't so bad...
It seems that happy times are always short-lived, and before long the two arrived at the entrance of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons.
"Oh, right," Shang Liuyu suddenly remembered something important when he saw the gate in front of him, and looked at Zu An with concern, "Why don't you disguise yourself and become my brother-in-law again?"
"No need, this is fine." Zu An shook his head slightly. Now that he had just killed the Dragon King in the underworld and was certain that the other party was dead, he was too lazy to continue impersonating him. He couldn't keep impersonating him forever, could he?
It would be good to take this opportunity to announce the Dragon King's death.
Shang Liuyu opened his mouth, intending to say something to persuade the other party, but suddenly felt it was unnecessary, as the other party must have his reasons for doing so.
"Then put me down first," Shang Liuyu said softly. The ceremony at the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons was so grand that there would definitely be sea people guarding outside. It would be quite embarrassing for him to carry me out in front of everyone.
“You’re too weak right now; you’ll probably faint after walking just a few steps,” Zu’an said, rejecting her suggestion.
"But..." Shang Liuyu opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Zaun had already opened the gate to the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, and the light from outside immediately shone in, causing her to involuntarily close her eyes.
"Welcome back, Dragon King?"
Outside, a large group of sea creature ministers, guards, palace maids, and others knelt down and bowed to greet them upon hearing the commotion.
However, halfway through the conversation, he suddenly realized that it was not the Dragon King who appeared, but another unfamiliar man, who was holding a woman in his arms. Judging from her clothes, she seemed to be the Mermaid Queen.
What's going on?
At this moment, Shang Hongyu had already arrived upon hearing the news. During this time, after she had purged the demons lurking among the sea creatures, she had been waiting outside the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, constantly worried about her sister and... his safety, and wanted to know everything as soon as possible.
She recognized Zu An, of course. Seeing that he and her sister were safe and sound, she was first delighted, then worried. Why did he appear in his true form?
She reacted quickly, stepping forward to bow and saying, "Greetings, Regent!"
Zuan secretly praised her intelligence and smiled at her, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The many ministers of the sea tribe immediately began to whisper among themselves. Many of them vaguely remembered that this person was the regent of the demon race, who was also nominally the superior of the sea tribe.
However, everyone is very curious about how the Regent came out of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons.
It seems the Queen knew about this?
And what about the Dragon King? Where did the Dragon King go?
Hearing the commotion behind them, Shang Liuyu felt a little worried and asked, "Is Liuyu alright?"
"Sister, I'm just a little exhausted..." Shang Liuyu could no longer pretend and had to turn around to look at her sister.
A commotion arose among the many sea creature ministers; it really was the Mermaid Queen!
The Shangliuyu sisters are very popular among the sea creatures. As for Shanghongyu, well, she is the queen of the sea creatures, so everyone can only respect her and dare not have any other thoughts.
But Shang Liuyu is single, and she is beautiful, noble, and skilled in music.
