Shang Liuyu turned to leave as he spoke.
"No, you've come at just the right time." Shang Hongyu's cheeks flushed slightly, but she quickly recovered and took her hand, pulling her close. "Azu is leaving soon, you should say goodbye properly."
After shoving her sister's hand into Zu'an's, she fled as if she were running away.
Shang Liuyu: "???"
She instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but the other person held it tightly.
Shang Liuyu pursed her lips, ultimately giving up the struggle, and instead asked, "I heard you made my sister empress?"
"Do you want to be one too? How about I set up a system of two empresses for the sea tribe?" Zuan smiled as he looked at her beautiful face, thinking that no matter when he saw her, she was always a pleasing sight.
"I don't want to be an empress. If I had a choice, I wouldn't even want to be the queen of the mermaids." Shang Liuyu rolled her eyes. "By the way, all the ministers in the sea tribe are grateful to you for making my sister an empress. Even my sister is grateful. But as far as I can tell, you just think being an empress is more fun than being a queen."
Zu An blushed slightly, feeling a little guilty, and asked, "Am I that kind of person?"
Shang Liuyu turned around, her beautiful starry eyes looking at him with a half-smile: "Ever since I first met you, you seem to have been this kind of person."
"Ahem..." Zu An was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain.
Shang Liuyu did not continue the "torture": "No matter what, I am grateful to you. If it weren't for you, my sister would probably be in a very difficult situation now."
She had heard about the people who had pressured her sister at the funeral hall, and it was thanks to Zuan's presence that everything was resolved.
Zuan also put away his smile and said in a deep voice, "You sisters will probably have to be more careful in the coming days to completely seize power. I don't want you to be bullied by those sea tribe ministers in the future."
Shang Liuyu nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I will help my sister properly."
The sisters are simply kind-hearted, not the kind of pushovers who let others bully them.
Having gone through a series of events, he had already decided to completely take control of the sea tribe, whether it was to prevent his sisters from falling into the predicament they had been in recently, or to provide assistance to Zaun in the future.
Zuan nodded in satisfaction. With the sisters' intelligence, he believed he wouldn't have to worry about the rest.
After saying goodbye to Shang Liuyu, he moved like lightning and quickly disappeared into the distance.
Watching Zuan's disappearing figure, Shang Liuyu suddenly felt a little empty and stood there in a daze.
He's not not coming back, and I can go see him anytime, so why am I so sad?
It seemed like he didn't say much to me when he left, and I even had a feeling that he talked more with his sister than to me.
It seemed like they were more familiar and natural with each other...
A self-deprecating smile appeared on her face. He and her sister were like that, so naturally they were closer to each other than to me.
But I was here first...
She didn't understand why she had so many random thoughts. It wasn't like her at all, but she just felt a strange sense of loss.
As she thought of her sorrows, her eyes gradually welled up with tears.
Just then, a familiar voice came: "Oh right, I forgot something."
Shang Liuyu looked up in surprise and delight, only to find that Zu An had returned. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly realized his current state and hurriedly turned around to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"You cried?" Zu An was taken aback, not expecting that the usually carefree Sister Shang would also have such deep feelings of parting.
"No, don't overthink it. It's just that it's inevitable to feel a little sad when friends part ways. I didn't shed tears specifically for you." Shang Liuyu explained somewhat flusteredly, then suddenly regretted it. Her sister always told her to take the initiative, so why did she have to be so secretive?
Zuan chuckled: "Tsundere has become obsolete, but I still quite like it."
Shang Liuyu blinked, somewhat confused by his words, but the mention of liking him made her heart race: "What exactly have you forgotten?"
Zu An smiled and looked at her: "Before I entered the Netherworld, someone said that as long as I came back safely, they would kiss me. But I've been so busy these past two days that I almost forgot about it."
Seeing him pouting as he spoke, Shang Liuyu couldn't help but feel embarrassed: "I already kissed you before you entered the Netherworld."
“Businesses usually collect deposits and final payments; that’s just a deposit.” Zu’an smiled and stared at her, enjoying seeing her flustered expression, which was usually so composed.
He had expected the other person to be shy and refuse, but a fragrant breeze wafted over the next second, followed by a petite body pulling him into her arms and soft lips pressing against his.
A smile appeared on Zuan's lips as he hugged him tightly.
Shang Liuyu quickly stiffened. Why would someone stick out their tongue while kissing?
However, she felt no aversion whatsoever. On the contrary, her heart was pounding, her mind went blank, and her body gradually went limp.
How come he's so skilled...?
Is this how he treats his older sister...?
Various thoughts came to mind, but she was quickly and completely lost in the passionate kiss.
...
As Zaun left the sea tribe, he looked back at the vast, shimmering ocean and couldn't help but marvel at its beauty.
Of course, the most beautiful sight in the ocean is still the pair of sisters.
Recalling the softness of Sister Shang's lips and her awkward movements, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
