Chapter 2139: Saving an Old Friend Pt. 2



Chapter 2139: Saving an Old Friend Pt. 2

“I have to say it like it is, right?” Zu An chuckled and said, “I actually slipped up right from the beginning. Fortunately, yesterday’s events managed to dispel his misgivings.”

Then, he shared how his inquiry about Shang Liuyu’s whereabouts toward the high officials had drawn Ka Qier’s suspicion, and that was why he'd used the Desires Unleashed Dew to test him.

Shang Hongyu’s eyes widened when she heard everything. After a moment of silence, she mumbled, “Why am I the only one who gets hurt...”

“What do you mean, hurt? I made sure to treat you along the way last night. Your injuries should already be pretty much healed,” Zu An teased.

“You...!” Shang Hongyu’s face was so red that smoke seemed about to come out of the top of her head.

Normally, with her outwardly gentle but inwardly passionate personality, she wouldn’t have gotten this embarrassed. She already finished her mental preparations beforehand, and she also had positive feelings toward him. However, that didn’t mean that she could withstand the brutal intensity of last night! All of her aloofness and pride were completely shattered by this guy, and even the shape inside her...

There had been several times when she even lost consciousness, but then when she woke up, she had been met with more waves and waves of pounding. She hadn't been able to keep herself from crying several times; however, that wasn’t from pain, but rather from a sort of ecstasy and release.

Shang Hongyu had never felt so weak before, as if she was just his toy. If he wanted her to live, she’d live; if he wanted her to die, she’d die. She knew fully well that after last night, she would never forget this man for the rest of her life, or even ten lives if she could live for that long. She had already completely taken on his shape.

Sniff... How humiliating...

Even so, she was the Ocean races' queen and had her fair share of experiences. She was a mature woman. She did her best to calm down and try to regain the upper hand like before. “I finally understand why your cultivation is so high. It was actually because of your transcendent aptitude. You're probably the only one with this quality in the entire world.”

The effects of that weird technique were one thing, but the blood essence of the transcendent aptitude was incredibly nourishing. Last night’s experience had brought her benefits equivalent to many years of cultivation.

No wonder there are so many women who are infatuated with him. Hmph, they’re all vixens who just want his body.

Zu An chuckled and didn’t bother explaining. Even though transcendent aptitude blood constitution was useful, the reason why he had been able to reach his current state was because he'd always skirted the brink of death. That was how he'd continued to advance and improve.

After holding her in his arms for a while, Zu An asked, “By the way, does Shang Liuyu have some kind of crown? The type that can open the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons?”

When she heard what he said, Shang Hongyu gritted her teeth. “What other crown can it be? Of course it’s the Dragon King’s crown, the symbol of authority and prestige for the Ocean races' ruler, the greatest emblem of successive generations of Dragon Kings. It's only ever brought out during the ascension to the throne, weddings, and rare ceremonial offerings.”

“Ceremonial offerings...” Zu An thought, No wonder the crown is needed to open the Tomb of Ten Thousand Kings. He asked curiously, “Why would this crown be in Shang Liuyu’s hands?”

“It’s obvious if you think about it. The Dragon King definitely wanted my little sister. And with her personality, there’s no way she would accept any of his gifts. That was why he proposed for her to help him safeguard the crown. With that, little sis couldn't refuse him,” Shang Hongyu said with a sneer. “But with that excuse, he could frequently seek out my little sister with a proper pretext.”

Zu An was speechless. At first, he had felt a bit of sympathy for the Dragon King, but now, it seemed the latter had it all coming.

“I didn’t expect you to have already earned all of their trust so quickly. I really do have a whole different outlook toward you,” Shang Hongyu said with a moved tone. They had even been able to obtain such crucial information! This was far more than what she'd been expecting.

Zu An’s expression became a bit strange as he said, “That’s not all. Ka Qier wanted me to impersonate the real Dragon King.”

Shang Hongyu replied in confusion, “Isn’t that what you’re doing right now?”

“You don’t understand what I’m trying to say...” Zu An then explained Ka Qier’s plan to her.

When she heard what he said, Shang Hongyu’s expression became strange. A while later, she sighed and remarked, “Even something like this can happen?”

At first, she'd thought that their impersonation would be full of danger, that if they were even a bit careless, they would be exposed. The things that had happened yesterday only further fueled her suspicions, causing her to have no choice but to ‘sacrifice’ her purity to dispel the enemy’s doubts. And yet after that night, their situation had actually improved this much?

The enemy wanted Zu An to impersonate the real Dragon King. That meant even if they did make a mistake, the enemy would just think it was because of their own plan. They wouldn’t suspect Zu An at all.

“I didn’t expect you to be so straightforward with your thinking. The one thing Ka Qier is still a bit worried about is if you’ve been completely... tamed. That’s why he urged me to do some overtime.” Zu An’s smile became a bit evil.

Shang Hongyu’s face heated up. She lightly hit his shoulder and mumbled quietly, “Whether or not I’ve been... You already know.”

Zu An laughed, then pulled her close and gave her a kiss. Shang Hongyu moaned and her body immediately softened up.

A while later, however, she could sense changes happening to Zu An’s body. She was shocked and quickly stopped him. “I really can’t anymore! I still haven’t recovered from last night yet!”

“I see...” Zu An was a bit disappointed, but he knew that they had gone quite wild last night, so he didn’t force it. “Alright, I’ll sleep here for a while to fool Ka Qier.”

Shang Hongyu’s eyes moved around, and she suddenly leaned against him before asking, “Should I help you?”

“How are you going to help?” Zu An asked, stunned.

The two suddenly felt a mysterious sense of familiarity. The two of them had shared similar words on the ship before, but both of them had known they were just teasing each other and weren’t actually going to do it.

But now, Shang Hongyu bit her red lip and her eyes shone brightly. She asked, “How do you want me to help?”

Zu An stared into her eyes, then shifted his gaze downward and said, “As long as it’s not with your hands.”

“You’re so bad~” Shang Hongyu pouted playfully, but she still moved her hair behind her ear and slowly bent down.

Zu An sat on the white jade bed that represented the highest authority of the Ocean races and watched as the stunning Mermaid Queen gently serviced him. In that moment, he felt a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

...

After some time passed, Zu An took Shang Hongyu to the prisons to check on Shang Liuyu.

Ka Qier thought at first that he was rushing things a bit, but when he saw Shang Hongyu lean against the 'fake Dragon King' bashfully and the faint swelling of her lips, he couldn't help but secretly give Zu An a big thumbs up.

This guy is even more amazing than I thought! The Mermaid Queen is pressing up against him like this and she even helped him that way; she’s clearly already been completely subdued!

Is this kind of stuff really that effective?

He had once looked down on such things a lot and just felt that they would get in the way of more important matters. But now, he was starting to change his opinion.

Subsequently, he took the two down to a secret courtyard in a remote corner of the Dragon Palace. Even though it wasn’t a prison, the security was even tighter than that of a prison. There were elite soldiers along the way and many defensive formations. It was almost impossible to sneak in silently.

“These guards all look really unfamiliar. They’re definitely not the original Dragon Palace guards,” Shang Hongyu secretly said to Zu An.

Zu An nodded. The enemy had definitely used their most trusted people for such vital positions.

When the guards outside the courtyard saw Zu An and Ka Qier, they let them in after a bow. The group entered the courtyard.

Suddenly, the air was filled with a drawn-out and distant song; its sound was filled with natural beauty, and yet carried a hint of forlorn sadness.
