Chapter 2156: One Head, Two Headaches

As she saw his startled expression, Shang Liuyu also realized that he had clearly said that to help her, and yet she'd gotten angry instead of showing gratitude. That was a bit too much. As such, she continued, “You should just rest with big sis. You’re the honorable Dragon King. If someone saw you sleeping outside, what would they think? The alien monsters and Hell creatures would also grow suspicious.”

Zu An was stunned.

Are you being serious right now? You want me to keep your sister company?

Shang Hongyu’s eyes moved quickly. She suddenly said with a big smile, “How about this? Little sis, you can sleep with your brother-in-law and I can just sleep outside. Either way, in the eyes of those monsters, the imposter is a pervert, so sleeping with you matches his style.”

Zu An was stunned.

These two really aren’t scared of chaos, are they?

Even more surprisingly, Shang Liuyu suddenly replied, “Sure, then I’ll just keep brother-in-law company.”

Zu An was speechless.

Something amazing is happening right now...?

Shang Hongyu was also a bit stupefied. She had just been planning to tease her little sis a bit, sure that she would never agree. But she had never expected her games to end up biting her instead!

Shang Liuyu giggled and said, “I’m joking. Look at how reluctant you look right now. You might see him as a treasure, but he’s nothing more than a blade of grass to me.”

Shang Hongyu finally realized that she was being messed with. She harrumphed in embarrassment. “We’re sisters anyway, so I wouldn’t mind it. Let’s not push back and forth anymore and just sleep together. The White Jade Bed is much more comfortable than a maid’s bed.”

Zu An’s eyes lit up.

I’m not against that idea...

A hint of red appeared on Shang Liuyu’s face. She pinched her sister in annoyance. “I’m not going to join in on your nonsense!”

Then, she lay down on her own bed and pretended to sleep.

Zu An couldn't help but give her fair exposed feet a look.

They really are a work of art...

As if sensing his gaze, Shang Liuyu pulled her feet into her dress. Then, her voice rang out in his ears. “You’re not allowed to bully my sister!”

Zu An naturally knew what she meant by bullying.

You already know who I am, so how can I continue to court death next door?

...

When Shang Hongyu and Zu An returned to their room, she suddenly moved closer to Zu An. “Speak honestly. You were tempted when you were alone with my sister just now, weren’t you?”

“I wasn’t.” Zu An had a completely deadpan expression. He naturally couldn't admit to that.

“But I saw your eyes light up back then.”

“You saw wrong.”

“Why don't you go and just tell her who you really are? With your relationship, she might really come over, you know?”

Zu An was speechless.

You’re overthinking it. She already knows. She’s already giving me a lot of face.

When she saw that he ignored her, Shang Hongyu shifted closer again. She began to gossip curiously. “Just what kind of relationship do the two of you have?”

“We’re just good friends,” Zu An replied. A warm smile appeared on his face when he remembered their first meeting.

“Hmph, judging from your smile, you’re clearly not just normal friends. Little sis always brings you up too. I’ve never seen her care so much about any man in all these years.” Shang Hongyu harrumphed.

“Is that so?” Zu An replied.

He'd always felt that, even though Shang Liuyu treated him a bit better than others, it wasn’t that much better. The two of them had always had a kind of boundary between them that made their relationship feel a bit distant, and that distance couldn't be closed at all. Actually, it was only when he admitted to his relationship with her sister that he felt they had become a bit closer. But there was no way he could let her know about his thoughts, or else she could really cut him.

“Should I lend you guys a helping hand?” Shang Hongyu asked as she cuddled in his arms and looked up at him with a big smile.

“How so?” Zu An asked, stunned. He reflexively looked at her moist red lips.

When she saw him staring at her, Shang Hongyu was really embarrassed. “Help you pursue my sister, of course. What are you thinking about?”

Zu An was a bit embarrassed. It was all her fault for saying similar words before! He replied, “That’s alright. I won’t be needing your help with that.”

Are you kidding me right now? Shang Liuyu already knows who I am. Am I really going to have her big sister play matchmaker in this situation?

Even if you want to die, that’s not how you should go about it!

“Why not? With her big sister helping, I guarantee that you’ll make progress twice as fast.”

“I hope you won’t end up experiencing social suicide.”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing.”

The two chatted for a while longer. Shang Hongyu suddenly bit her red lip, then began to kiss the corners of his ear.

When he saw her watery eyes, Zu An remembered Shang Liuyu’s warning and quickly said, “Um, you sister is next door, so I think it’s best if we don’t.”

“What are you scared of? It’s not as if she knows who you are.” Shang Hongyu blew gently past his ear. “Besides, weren’t you even more excited than usual last time?”

When that memory was reawakened, Zu An couldn't help but swallow with difficulty.

Shang Hongyu could sense the changes happening to his body. She giggled and bent down.

“Oh...” Zu An took a deep breath.

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!

You have successfully trolled Shang Liuyu for +444 +444 +444...

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!

You have successfully trolled Shang Liuyu for +499 +499 +499...

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.

You have successfully trolled Shang Liuyu for +404 +404 +404...

“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. ????????????????????ℯ????????????????????????.????????????

“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.”
