Big sis Shang, big sis Shang, it’s not that I didn’t want to uphold that promise, but your sister is just too... too proactive!
...
Meanwhile, Shang Liuyu was lying outside, rolling back and forth, just unable to sleep. For some reason, she just felt some pent-up frustration.
She reflexively picked up the ocarina by her waist to play away her frustrated emotions. Whenever she was in a bad mood, she always used music to cheer her up. But she quickly realized that she was undercover in the Dragon Palace, so she would be easily exposed if she played music here. Helpless to do anything else, she could only put it away. That made her even more annoyed.
Suddenly, she heard music, but it came from next door. The sounds carried resentment, yet also admiration; there was weeping and moaning... Her face quickly shifted between red and pale.
That rascal is bullying my sister again!
Zu An’s body froze up. They had been discovered after all!
“Why did you suddenly stop?” Shang Hongyu wrapped around him like an octopus. Her body was incredibly fiery.
“It’s nothing...” Zu An set his resolve.
If I’m going to die, then so be it.
When she heard her older sister suddenly cry out, Shang Liuyu gritted her teeth.
This guy is getting more and more excited!
But shortly after, she was stunned, because why was she so angry?
I’m not even one of his women, so what does it have to do with me if he gets intimate with another woman?
Wait, the one he’s bullying is my big sister, so of course it has something to do with me!
Inside, Zu An was getting two headaches within a single head. Continuing was a bad idea, but stopping wasn’t a good idea either.
Fortunately, Shang Hongyu didn’t make things too hard for him. Her waist proactively twisted around him, as fluid as water.
...
The next morning, when Zu An left the room, he prepared to sneak out so as to not give Shang Liuyu the chance to question him.
However, Shang Liuyu seemed to have already expected this and blocked his path. She stared at him with a look that could kill.
“What happened to your promise?” Shang Liuyu asked through a ki transmission.
Zu An was speechless.
I did honor it and didn’t touch your sister. It was your sister who touched me!
But he couldn't speak those words out loud.
Just then, Shang Hongyu walked out, seemingly glowing with health. She wrapped her arm around his and asked, “Hm? Why are the two of you standing here?”
Shang Liuyu looked at her beautiful complexion and the way she intimately held onto Zu An’s arm. She suddenly felt a bit downcast.
Why am I interrogating the one my big sister likes in the first place?
“It’s nothing.” She couldn't help but sigh, then turned around in disappointment.
“What’s with her?” Shang Hongyu gave Zu An a confused look.
“Uh... I have no idea either,” Zu An said. Even though he knew, he couldn't tell her the truth, right?
Fortunately, Ka Qier had arrived to help him out of this predicament. Thus, Zu An quickly seized the chance to meet with Ka Qier.
“I heard that you’ve already obtained the Crown of the Ocean Deity?” Ka Qier asked from within the study after chasing everyone else out.
“I’ve already gotten it.” Zu An couldn't help but give Ka Qier a second look. When he thought about how there was a demonic being inside the latter, one that experienced endless suffering, he couldn't help but shiver.
“That’s good. Fortunately, with your ability, you can activate the Crown of the Ocean Deity. Otherwise, it really would’ve been a bit difficult.” Ka Qier didn’t have any intention of taking the crown from him. He clearly knew that he couldn't use it.
Zu An thought to himself, Thank goodness those alien monsters told me the name of the fake Dragon King the day before and knew about his abilities. Otherwise, he wouldn’t really know what Ka Qier was talking about right now.
“Hmph, I hope that you'll fulfill your end of the agreement and not create any unnecessary trouble.” Zu An took the chance to try and get some more intelligence.
“Don’t worry, our side has always been trustworthy.” An ambiguous smile appeared on Ka Qier’s face. “You seem to be having quite the good time recently. Why don't you take both sisters in? That’ll make things even safer later.”
Zu An harrumphed. “That Shang Liuyu is incredibly smart. I was almost exposed before, so I don’t want any misunderstandings because of something like this.”
“It’s good that you’re still clear-headed and haven’t let lust take over your brain.” Ka Qier nodded in satisfaction. “Just hold on for a few more days, and then we’ll be able to enter the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons.”
