Chapter 2151: To Each Our Own

Zu An exclaimed in disbelief, “You didn’t believe me even after I said all of that, and yet you believe this?”

“I was actually already more or less convinced.” Shang Liuyu harrumphed. “The last question was just to confirm it.”

Zu An was speechless.

I didn’t expect this woman to be so two-faced.

“Please don’t run off again this time.” Zu An tapped the air with his finger gently and undid her restriction.

Shang Liuyu scoffed lightly. “Wouldn't you have chosen to run if you were in my shoes just now?”

Zu An chuckled in embarrassment. He quickly brought the topic back to more important matters. “Let me take a look at that Crown of the Ocean Deity. That thing seems as if it's going to be pretty important for us later on, so I want to see if I can use it.”

“The Crown of the Ocean Deity can only be used by the Ocean races. You probably...” Despite what Shang Liuyu said, she still handed the case over. She had previously thought that he was the fake Dragon King, and was naturally extremely guarded. But now that she was sure that he was Zu An, there was nothing more to fear.

Zu An wasn’t fully convinced either. He took the case and tried to pick up the crown again. Just like before, a powerful force tried to reject him. However, he was already prepared, so this time, he released his Blue Mallard skill that gave him affinity with water. Sure enough, the crown’s resistance weakened a bit, as if it wasn’t so sure whether he was of the Ocean races or not anymore.

However, Zu An didn’t give the crown a chance to think about the question, and went with brute force. He grabbed it and tried to control it forcefully. The Crown of the Ocean Deity seemed to sense that it was being held by an outsider and struggled intensely. It tried to break free from his grasp.

Zu An harrumphed and a great wave of power spread out. He was now both the regent of the humans and fiends, so to a certain degree, he was superior to the respective emperors of both sides. Furthermore, his cultivation was now greater than that of the late human emperor and the Fiend Emperor, let alone the Dragon King.

That Crown of the Ocean Deity could sense his strength, so it immediately quieted down. Either way, it seemed as if Zu An did possess some aura of the seas, so the crown didn't feel as if it was completely going against its path.

I’ll just let him do what he wants...

Shang Liuyu watched all of this with a stupefied expression. She had never expected Zu An to actually make the Crown of the Ocean Deity submit.

As the crown accepted him, Zu An suddenly gained a kind of enlightenment and learned of its ability. It had the ability to control the seas, and it allowed him to communicate with all sorts of sea creatures. To a certain degree, it could make sea creatures weaker than him heed his orders.

“As expected of the king of the seas,” Zu An said with a deep sigh. The Dragon King really was something else to have given up this crown in order to flirt with Shang Liuyu, resulting in the alien monsters’ exploitation of the Ocean races.

Shang Liuyu was now a bit excited. “Since you’ve now obtained the Crown of the Ocean Deity, why don't you just order the Ocean races to capture all of those alien monsters?”

There were monsters all around them, which made them feel heavily outnumbered, but now that he had this crown, he could just summon all of the Ocean races to help him and reverse the situation.

Zu An shook his head. “It won’t be easy to detain Ka Qier. More importantly, I don’t know how many other companions they have. If we end up letting some slip away and go into hiding, it might be hard for us to defend against a surprise attack in the future.”

After all, many people would spend a thousand days living as a thief, but no one wanted to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Shang Liuyu figured that made sense as well. Right now, the enemies were working in the shadows while they were completely in the open, so striking blindly wasn’t too wise. Still, she asked, “But are we really going to help those monsters open up the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons? I don’t know what they're trying to do. What if we accidentally help them with their aim? The consequences of that would be too horrible to even imagine.”

“Don’t worry, I’m here,” Zu An said when he saw how worried she was. However, he still warned himself to be careful. It seemed he did have to make some preparations.

“Look at how full of yourself you are,” Shang Liuyu said, although she was also a bit moved. The lazy, crippled, drafted son-in-law of Brightmoon City now stood at the top of the world after just a few years. Now that he was speaking such words, she actually didn’t feel that it was over the top.

Suddenly, her expression froze. She seemed to have thought of something and stared at Zu An. “The one who bullied big sis the past two days should also be you, right?”

“What do you mean, bullying...” Zu An was immediately hard-pressed. He really hadn’t expected that in the end, he still wouldn’t be able to escape this soul-torturing interrogation.

“Hah, you know exactly what I’m talking about.” Shang Liuyu sneered.

“Uh, I had no choice, you see... It was mainly to fool those monsters.” Zu An was lacking in confidence as he spoke.

“You really do have some nerve. My big sister is so pitiful. She just lost her husband and then experienced so many difficulties, and yet you used that chance to take advantage of her?” Shang Liuyu gritted her teeth. She didn’t know why she was getting so angry either.

You have successfully trolled Shang Liuyu for +888 +888 +888...

When he saw the incoming Rage points, Zu An could imagine just how angry she was.

How is this my fault?! It was all your sister who was teasing me the entire time!

Of course, there was no way he would say that out loud. He wouldn’t place his own women in such an embarrassing situation. As such, he could only reply ambiguously, “Uh... but did you see your big sister look unwilling or say that she was bullied at all recently?”

Shang Liuyu rolled her eyes. “She was already screaming so pitifully, and yet you’re still saying she wasn’t bullied?”

Zu An was speechless.

I almost forgot that Shang Liuyu had this kind of free and unaffected personality.

Other unmarried women would definitely be too embarrassed to discuss this topic, but she wouldn’t care...

“The situation was beyond my control. You’ll understand in the future.” Zu An was feeling really frustrated with all of this too. He really had no way of explaining such a thing.

“Understand, my ass!” Shang Liuyu erupted into a rare state of anger. She just felt really pent-up somehow.

You have successfully trolled Shang Liuyu for +999 +999 +999...

In reality, how could she not understand? Not only had her big sister clearly not been forced into it, she even looked happier than she had in many years.

This Zu An not only has incredible authority, he also has unparalleled cultivation. More importantly, he's handsome as well, so why wouldn’t womenlike him? It’s not surprising for big sis to like him too.

She also knew that Zu An was a skirt-chaser, but she hadn’t cared too much about it before. She'd figured none of that really had anything to do with her. But this time, it was her own big sister who had ended up together with him! That was a bit harder for her to swallow.

I was clearly first...

She immediately choked that thought to death as soon as it appeared. She looked at Zu An coldly, saying, “You used to call me big sis, but you probably never expected me to end up calling you brother-in-law so soon, right?”

Zu An chuckled awkwardly. “I’ll still call you big sis. We’ll just each continue like before.”

Shang Liuyu raised her pretty brows and replied, “You really do want to become my brother-in-law?”

She began to hit him to vent her frustration. Zu An didn’t guard against it and let her hit him. From time to time, he screamed bitterly in pain.

A while later, Shang Liuyu pulled back her hands. Her face was a bit red as she said, “Alright, alright. With your cultivation, me hitting you makes no difference at all. You’re not even putting that much effort into your screams.”

“It really did hurt. Making big sis Shang sad makes my heart hurt.” Zu An sighed.

“Pah!” Shang Liuyu scoffed and scowled. She said, "Since we're facing a great enemy, I’ll put this matter aside for now. I’ll settle things with you later. Once we go back, don’t tell my big sister that I already know about your real identity.”

“Huh?” Zu An was stunned. He was briefly confused about what kind of game she was now playing.

“Big sis has always been dignified and reserved, and our Mermaid race has always had a tradition of loyalty to our partners. If she finds out that I already know about this, she'll be really humiliated,” Shang Liuyu said worriedly.

Zu An was stunned. He hadn’t expected her to be so considerate. She really was an amazing little sister.

But Shang Hongyu, dignified and reserved? She’s as passionate as a blazing flame, okay?

Who would’ve thought that just like everyone else, this little sister also didn’t understand what she was really like.

“But later, if she finds out that we kept her in the dark, she won’t be happy,” Zu An said. He thought to himself that even though he had just dealt with one problem, there was another one that could erupt at any moment. Just imagining that kind of situation made his scalp go numb.

Shang Liuyu shot him a look. “Didn’t you keep me in the dark before too?”

When he sensed her resentment, Zu An immediately chose to shut up.

“Also!” Shang Liuyu’s eyes turned red as she glared at him. “You’re not allowed to mess with my sister next door to me in the future!”
