Chapter 2224: Feeling of Being Crushed

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

At first, Zu An had thought that this would be a thorn in their relationship, but he had actually just been overthinking things. Thus, he took Shang Hongyu into his arms. They told each other all about the things that had happened while they were apart.

Shang Hongyu’s beautiful face was stained with tears, and now that she was dressed in a widow’s outfit, it really was pitiful. Zu An couldn't help but give the tears on her face a kiss.

If they landed on the ground, a mermaid’s tears would turn into pearls, so teardrops that hadn’t touched the ground were an extremely precious weapon refinement material. Normally, it was difficult to obtain even a single mermaid tear, and yet Zu An was able to just drink them as he pleased.

“It tickles...” Shang Hongyu was a bit broken-hearted, but she couldn't help but blush from his movements. Even her breathing quickened slightly.

The two individuals stared at each other and saw the endless desire in each other’s eyes. Soon after, their lips joined together. As a mature man and woman, they didn’t need too many other techniques. Everything continued smoothly just like that.

Shortly after, Shang Hongyu undid her waistband and prepared to remove her clothes. Just as her shoulder was exposed, however, Zu An stopped her and said, “Don’t take it off. This is even better.”

Shang Hongyu was a bit stunned, but then she realized what he meant and playfully hit his chest. “You’re such a bad person~”

Even though that was what she said, she didn’t feel upset at all. On the contrary, her heart started pounding when she heard those words, and tears almost came out of her eyes.

...

Meanwhile, Shang Liuyu had just moved to the adjacent room. Some maids had prepared the water in a seabed hot springs but Shang Liuyu had them withdraw. She wasn’t used to being served like this by other people.

She removed her clothes, revealing her perfect body that made even statues pale in comparison. However, her face suddenly reddened. She was so close to Ah Zu right now, and his divine sense was so strong. Didn’t that mean he could see everything?

But she immediately dismissed that possibility.

Even though Ah Zu is a bit lustful, he wouldn’t do something as despicable as that.

He knows I came here to take a bath, so he definitely wouldn’t send his divine sense here.

She soaked herself inside the hot spring and splashed some of the hot water gently over her arm.

When she remembered how Zu An had continued to carry her intimately in front of all of the Ocean race people who were waiting outside the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, she immediately became really embarrassed again.

At the same time, when Ah Zu released his power and intimidated all of the Ocean races into kneeling respectfully, being carried in the air felt like a dream...

She felt so excited that her mermaid tail appeared and gently struck the spring water, as if to show that she was in a really good mood.

Ah! I don’t know if he’ll misunderstand...

When she remembered what her sisterhad said while teasing her, Shang Liuyu immediately became even more embarrassed. She knew that her big sis was trying to help her, and it seemed as if Hongyu was even trying to pull their relationship closer. However, she just felt that it was a bit too forced.

Still, even though she and Zu An claimed to have a ‘sibling-like’ friendship, since when did siblings act as intimate as that? But if one were to call them sweethearts, that term seemed to fall a bit short too.

I clearly met him much earlier than big sis, so why did big sis end up together with him so naturally, while I’m here still worrying about all of these things?

Is it because my sister was more proactive? Ah Zu isn’t really good at refusing others, let alone someone as beautiful as my sister.

Sigh... But my sister's personality is completely different from mine! I can’t be like her... Even just thinking about it is embarrassing.

Just then, she suddenly heard a deliberately muffled sound. Mermaids were all good at music and singing, so they were especially sensitive to such things.

Big sis’ voice is really beautiful. The Mermaid race’s elders all praised her in the past. If she had focused on the field of music, she definitely wouldn’t be less skilled than me.

Wait, why is she suddenly singing? What kind of time is it already?

Shang Liuyu was curious and perked up her ears. But soon after, a red blush covered her spotless and glistening body.

That’s not singing at all! It’s clearly...

Big sis, really! Just how long has it been since I left? And yet the two of them are already... like that.

She couldn't help but bite her lip.

Those two clearly know that I’m over here taking a bath, and yet they aren’t holding back at all!

Do I really have to just become a part of their game?

You have successfully trolled Shang Liuyu for +119 +119 +119...

...

Next door, Zu An sensed the string of incoming Rage points. He immediately realized that Shang Liuyu had heard everything that was happening. Still, he really couldn't stop right now. The pure-white widow clothes were just too stimulating! Also, Shang Hongyu’s singing-like voice was like a bugle horn signaling for him to press the attack. As the world’s bravest and strongest warrior, how could he back off at all at a time like this?

The beautiful and dignified Mermaid Queen’s eyes lost focus and she completely lost herself under his powerful pounding. Her head went completely blank and she couldn't think about anything anymore. She could only instinctively use her own gentleness to offset the other side’s vigor.

...

After an unknown amount of time passed, Shang Hongyu lay in Zu An’s arms, her body shaking slightly. She eventually recovered a bit, then hit his chest playfully and said, “It’s all your fault. You made me embarrass myself in front of my sister again...”

Zu An was stunned. He replied, “Why do I feel as if you did that on purpose for her to hear?”

“What did you say?!” Shang Hongyu was really embarrassed. She twisted back and forth in his arms and really wished she had a blanket to hide in.

Zu An laughed heartily.

The two of them embraced each other for a while before Shang Hongyu got up and put on her clothes properly, saying, “I need to return first. There are a lot of people who knew that I came to look for you. There will be all sorts of gossip if I stay here for too long.”

As she got dressed, Zu An admired her amazing figure and replied, “You’ve been here for quite a while already.”

“Look at how smug you look.” Shang Hongyu glared at him. She really couldn't understand why such a thing was something to brag about.

“Even though I’ve stayed here for a bit longer than expected, I can just say that I was here to discuss important affairs with you. Even if they become suspicious, there’s nothing much they can do about it anyway. But if I stayed here all night, that would be too much.”

Zu An smiled and said, “In that case, I’ll follow you to your personal chambers.”

Shang Hongyu smiled and shook her head. “I won’t be going to my chambers today. Now that I'm taking care of the Dragon King’s funeral arrangements, according to our customs, I need to keep watch beside the coffin. I only left for a while to look for you.”

After the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, Zu An had become more powerful than ever before. If the queen said she was meeting Zu An to discuss something, who would dare to stop her? In fact, several officials had all been trying to push the queen to improve his mood, so he wouldn’t decide to end the Ocean races on a whim.

“Then I’ll come and...” Zu An began, but Shang Hongyu interrupted him before he even finished speaking.

“No! The mourning hall has high officials guarding it. It’s not appropriate.” Shang Hongyu’s face turned red, perhaps because of what had happened just now, or because she imagined something happening in the mourning hall.

Zu An was speechless. He eventually replied, “I was going to say I'd light some incense for the Dragon King. What were you imagining?”

Shang Honyu immediately became really embarrassed. “You’re terrible! You were messing with me!”

The two play-fought for a bit, but then Shang Hongyu suddenly cried out. She looked at her clothes and said in alarm, “It’s all your fault! You insisted on me wearing this. Look at how wrinkled it is now...”

She had, after all, just changed into new mourning clothes, so they had been clean like jade. Only then would they be able to represent the dignity and prestige of the death of a ruler.

And yet this guy just had to do that!

The two of them had wrestled back and forth for so long that their clothes were already a mess.

Previously, she'd had her servants all go away under the pretext that she had to discuss important affairs with the regent. Perhaps some people would be suspicious, but that would only be suspicion. However, if she came back out with messy clothes, it would serve as proof.

“So what if they find out? I even heard that some of the Ocean race subjects were discussing how to make you seduce me.” Zu An had a big smile on his face. He had to admit that the combination of her pitiful clothes and her annoyed expression created a uniquely beautiful appearance.
