Chapter 2132: Playing With Fire and Getting Burned Pt. 1
Ao Yong climbed atop a giant coral reef. Once he got past this area, he would be in the queen’s personal chambers.
Suddenly, his entire body went rigid. He saw someone standing in front of the distant courtyard entrance. It was the Dragon Palace guard, Ka Qier!
Ao Yong widened his eyes in disbelief.
Why is he here?
Ka Qier was the Dragon King’s personal guard and was in charge of the Dragon King’s personal safety. The two of them were practically inseparable. More importantly, he wasn’t someone who got along well with others. He had once been a ferocious general in the army and didn’t get along with the n.o.ble circles. Then, for some reason, he had suddenly received the Dragon King’s appreciation and was promoted to being the new guard leader as a special consideration.
When he recalled Ka Qier"s past achievements and how he"d felt each time they crossed paths, Ao Yong felt fearful toward the guard. He"d always felt as if he couldn"t really see through this person. More importantly, if Ka Qier was here, didn’t that mean the Dragon King was here too?
Ao Yong didn’t dare to make a single sound out of fear of being seen by Ka Qier.
Wait, he seems to be leaning to the side and listening, so his vigilance seems to be a bit lower than usual.
After a bit of hesitation, Ao Yong was still reluctant to leave. He borrowed the cover of the coral to secretly look into the courtyard.
...
Meanwhile, inside the chambers, Shang Hongyu was lying down on the bed. However, her body was even more dazzling than the white jade surface beneath her. Her chest continuously rose and fell, and her breathing was a bit messy too. After going through that intimate experience, her entire body seemed as if it had completely melted.
When she saw Zu An reach a critical point, her bright and beautiful eyes carried both shock and nervousness. She reflexively pressed her hands lightly against his chest. Her voice was shaking a bit as she said, “In all these years, our Mermaid race women have always maintained our loyalty and faith. We have never allowed any men other than our husbands to touch us...”
When he sensed the twinge of hesitation and remorse in her voice, a teasing smile appeared on the corners of Zu An’s lips. He asked, “Do you want me to take on the Dragon King’s appearance? So that way, I’ll be your husband?”
Ever since he started the treatment process earlier, he had already returned to his original appearance.
“No!” Shang Hongyu bit her lip. “I want you to stay like this. We"ve been husband and wife for some time to begin with. It isn’t as if... isn"t as if we’re going against the rules, right?” Her voice carried a hint of alarm, as if she was trying to convince herself.
Zu An couldn"t help but laugh. Beautiful women were all good at lying, but he had never expected that they would even go so far as to lie to themselves. He replied, “Of course.”
Zu An was just about to move when Shang Hongyu stopped him again. Her hesitant eyes revealed an expression of embarra.s.sment and pleading as she said, “I’ve never seen you so... Please... Please be gentle.”
Zu An’s breathing immediately quickened. This woman had kept teasing him for so long. But now that they’d reached this point, now she knew fear?
How can we still go according to your pace?!
“Ah~?!”
When he heard the voice that seemed to convey pain, yet was also filled with sweetness, Ao Yong’s entire body felt as if it had been stuck by thunder. He was no innocent virgin, so how could he still not know what was going on inside? The beautiful and gentle queen of his dreams was being ravaged by another man! He felt as if blood was leaking out of his heart. He gripped the coral reef rightly, and his emotions stirred chaotically. The st.u.r.dy coral was crushed to pieces under his grip.
“Who"s there?!”
Ka Qier had been paying attention to the activity inside, nodding after hearing the sounds.
This is how it should’ve been. I don’t know what that guy was hesitating over. From now on, the queen is in the same boat as us. There"s no chance of her regaining the upper hand.
Suddenly, he heard some noise by the coral reef that caught his attention. With a wave of his hand, his personal blade fired out without even being unsheathed first. With a loud noise, the pitch-black blade stabbed deeply into the coral reef!
Ao Yong was horrified. He quickly used all of his skills to run. Fortunately, he had already prepared a transport treasure, and because only he knew about the hole in the formations, he was just barely able to escape.
Ka Qier chased after the intruder but ended up failing to track him. He couldn"t help but frown. All of his attention had been on the inside of the room, which ended up allowing an outsider to get in. He didn’t know where the other side was from and really didn’t feel at ease, so he gathered his subordinates to search the surroundings.
As for the queen’s side, since they had already completed the first step, there wasn’t much he had to worry about anymore.
That guy is so perverted, he’ll definitely be able to subdue the queen.
...
Meanwhile, in the room, Shang Hongyu’s eyes gradually returned to normal. At first, she was completely at a loss, but then she was extremely embarra.s.sed.
Did... Did I just faint just now?
She couldn"t help but bite his shoulder, saying, “You really are a bad guy. You clearly promised me, and yet...”
“I don’t recall agreeing to anything,” Zu An said with a teasing smile.
“You...” Shang Hongyu recalled what had happened earlier. Zu An indeed didn’t seem to have said anything concrete. She protested, “I really was fooled by your gentlemanly behavior. You’re clearly just a beast!”
“Thank you for the praise.”
“That wasn’t praise!”
...
“By the way, there seemed to be something going on outside just now.” Shang Hongyu was still a grandmaster, for better or for worse. Even though she had been a bit dazed back then, she"d still heard something happen outside.
Zu An replied, “That Ao Yong loves his sister-in-law so much that he somehow made his way all the way over here and was discovered by Ka Qier, who"s currently chasing him.” With his divine sense, even the movements of a single blade of gra.s.s wouldn’t escape his sea of awareness. Ao Yong’s visit was naturally no exception.
“What do you mean, he loves his sister-in-law so much? It sounds so awful.” Shang Hongyu hit his chest lightly as she playfully complained.
“What, doesn"t he love his sister-in-law? Then why would he come all the way to your place so late into the night?” Zu An laughed. “I think that guy might just be so self-obsessed that he thought you gave him a hint at the banquet or something.”
Shang Hongyu was speechless. How could she have possibly expected that Ao Yong would think along those lines?
“But I do have to thank that guy for at least luring Ka Qier away. There’s no one left to disturb us now.” Zu An looked down at her blushing face and asked, “How about we continue?”
Shang Hongyu clenched her teeth gently. She was a bit excited, but also a bit afraid. She reflexively pressed her hands against him again and said, “Then you can’t act like just now.”
“But that’s clearly not what your body is saying,” Zu An said, sounding surprise.
As expected of the Ocean races, her body has already become as soft as water.
“That... That’s just because of that Desires Unleashed Dew! It has nothing to do with me!” Shang Hongyu started pleading a bit. “I’ve really never tried something like this, so you"d better...”
Zu An laughed and replied, “But I’m afraid that’s not up to you!”
