"Hey, who asked you to come at the wrong time." Seeing that he was not deterred, the turtle bartender suddenly became energetic and stood up to explain, "The main reason is that during this period, the queen is being searched for everywhere in the ocean, and many docks
All routes have been shut down.”
"In addition, some patrolling Yakshas died here yesterday, and there were rumors that it was the Queen's fault. So more and more adventurers heard the news and rushed here, all aiming for the reward. The official of the Sea Tribe
A lot of people have also been sent over. If nothing else, today’s trip is the last ship that can go to sea at our dock. There will definitely be an official document coming out tomorrow to cut off this flight. I don’t know when it will open next time.
, naturally expensive.”
At this time, the turtle bartender looked the two of them up and down, and his eyes fell on Shang Hongyu: "I advise you two not to act alone recently. All single women nearby will be arrested and questioned by the adventurers, no matter what they look like.
Lest it be the queen in disguise."
Shang Hongyu said with great interest: "Aren't you afraid that I am the queen pretending to be a queen?"
The turtle bartender sneered: "Don't blame me for being blunt. The queen is much prettier than you. She was so kind to me back then and she has become a special existence in my heart. Even if she is disguised, her aura of peerless beauty still cannot be overcome.
Cover it up, you can see it at a glance with my vicious eyes."
"Besides, with the queen's gentle and virtuous temperament, how can she date other men?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Shang Hongyu's bloated waist, almost saying that you didn't even look in the mirror.
Shang Hongyu: "..."
I didn't know whether to be angry or happy for a moment.
At this time, Zu An took out two heavenly grade yuan stones: "We want two..."
At this moment, Shang Hongyu took out a piece of Tianjie Yuanshi from his hand and came back: "We want a room, and so do you, brother. If you are away from home, save as much as you can."
Zu An didn't feel like saying anything else, so he nodded: "Yes, one room is enough. Your ticket is too expensive."
The turtle bartender looked at the Yuan Stone that Shang Hongyu took back with some regret, thinking that the two of them must be in an ambiguous period and have not yet confirmed their relationship. This man is stupid, and the woman has already planned it.
Gotta be fine.
Humph, in order to save this Heavenly Grade Essence Stone, he spent his entire life. This kid has suffered a huge loss.
In his opinion, although both of them look ordinary, the man is tall and straight, and has a certain temperament. The woman has a slim waist and a bloated figure. The man must be at a greater disadvantage when they are together.
While cursing, he took out a small square shell sign with a circle of coral surrounding it, forming a special rune. It should be an anti-counterfeiting mark.
"Here, this is your ferry ticket. If you lose it, you won't be able to replace it."
At this time, Shang Hongyu reached out to pick it up. Suddenly, he slipped his hand and dropped the ticket on the counter.
Turtle Bartender: "..."
Shang Hongyu looked at him apologetically: "Excuse me, can you pick it up for me?"
After all, it was open for business. Although the turtle bartender was a little unhappy, he still bent down to pick it up and handed it to her: "Be careful, you won't be so lucky next time."
"Thank you very much." After Shang Hongyu collected the ticket, he took Zu An and rushed towards the dock.
After exiting the restaurant, Zu An asked in a funny tone, "What did you get out of his shell just now?"
It turned out that the other party had just dropped the ticket on the ground on purpose, and took advantage of the turtle bartender's bent over to steal it.
Shang Hongyu opened his palms, and a Heavenly Grade Yuan Stone suddenly appeared.
Zu An was a little speechless: "Although this ticket is expensive, after all, everything happened for a reason. You paid for it and delivered it, so why would you steal it back?"
"What you stole back? It's so ugly to say," Shang Hongyu glared at him, "This is not the Yuan Stone for the ticket, but the Heavenly Rank Yuan Stone he lied to you yesterday. He clearly doesn't know about the Divine Dragon Elixir.
, but still accepted your Yuan Stone, it’s really annoying.”
Zu An couldn't help but laugh: "It's just a heavenly elemental stone. Why would the majestic Mermaid Queen care about it so much? Besides, the turtle seems to be your fanboy."
"What a fanboy, he did a lot of tricking me yesterday. He is such a slippery person. Although he talks about love and justice, if you really want him to know my identity, he will be the first one to keep the whistleblower.
"Shang Hongyu snorted.
Zu An said angrily: "Even if you are right, shouldn't you return the Yuan Stone to me? Why would you put it in your arms?"
"This heaven-level Yuan Stone is to find out the news about Shenlong's elixir. Did I tell you the relevant information yesterday? Naturally, this Yuan Stone should be given to me."
"..."
"I thought you were taking it out on me, but it turned out that you thought he was greedy for your things."
"Didn't I help you vent your anger by the way?"
"Uh, should I settle the shipping fee just now?"
"That's your own ticket fee. I'm just following you for a while."
"Your majestic mermaid queen really opened my eyes."
"There is no other way. A landed phoenix is not as good as a chicken. I am now a wanted criminal. I am in a hurry. I don't have any resources. You can't always be by my side, so I naturally need to save something now."
Zu An was startled when he heard this, and then he realized that her current situation was indeed quite bad. After thinking for a while, he took out a bag of Yuan Stones from his arms and handed it to her: "You should keep these first. Except for the Heavenly Rank Yuan Stones,
In addition, there are some Immortal Grade Essence Stones, which should be enough to sustain you for a while."
Who knew that Shang Hongyu didn't even look at it and threw the bag directly to him: "Oh, boring man."
Zu An's head was filled with questions. Didn't she herself say that she was short of the Yuan Stone? How could I still make her unhappy if I took the initiative to give it to her?
He originally thought that after so many years, he still understood women, but at this moment he really had self-doubt.
Soon the two came to the edge of the pier. In front of them was a large ship about several hundred feet long. The hull seemed to be built from the skeleton of a huge sea beast. The deck and hull were made of exotic wood that had been found on the seabed for thousands of years.
, the entire ship is inlaid with shells, pearls, corals and other elements.
Judging from Zu An's current cultivation level, it is natural to see that these things are not for decoration, but form some formations very cleverly.
There are water element affinity formations, wind element acceleration formations, whole-body reinforcement formations, and balance formations...
But what attracted his attention more was that there were many huge ballistae standing on the hull. Different from the ballistae used by the human race to attack the city, they seemed to be using sharp tridents. Of course, there were also many magic ballistae.
, should be used to deal with different elemental creatures.
Seemingly aware of his doubts, Shang Hongyu replied: "Although the sea belongs to the sea tribe, there are many fierce sea beasts in it. Although these sea beasts have certain intelligence, they cannot transform into human form, and they are murderous by nature.
They are not the same as the Sea Clan. The two sides often fight with each other. They are individually very powerful and will hunt down the lone Sea Clan. Similarly, the Sea Clan will also organize troops to encircle and suppress those sea beasts."
"As we get further away from the shore and deeper into the sea, the strength of those sea beasts becomes stronger, and some of them are even a little feared by the Dragon King. These huge weapons on the ship are used to deal with sea beasts that may attack."
Zu An was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that your sea clan is not as carefree as I imagined."
"It's normal for the weak to eat the strong." Shang Hongyu replied casually, as if he was used to it, and quickly boarded the boat.
A sailor checked their tickets and led them to the corresponding room.
Looking at the room that was not much bigger than the soft sleeper in the train in his previous life, Zu An looked confused and couldn't help but cursed: "That damn turtle, after charging us such an expensive fare, gave us such a small room?"
You must know that when I first saw how huge the ship was, I thought that the room would not be called a presidential suite, but it should be very spacious, but I didn't expect it to be so cramped and cramped.
Shang Hongyu smiled: "You must have misunderstood him. The rooms on this ship are not very big."
Zu An: "???"
Shang Hongyu explained: "Because the ship is equipped with a lot of heavy weapons to defend against sea monsters, and these heavy weapons occupy a large area and need to be equipped with various large magic circles, so for safety reasons, the rooms reserved for passengers are
It’s not that big anymore.”
"Then I'll go see the captain and see if I can buy another room." Zu An was about to go out, but was pulled back by Shang Hongyu.
"No, we came here together, but we have to live in two separate rooms, which will definitely arouse suspicion." Shang Hongyu continued, "And have you forgotten what the turtle said just now? Now all forces are strictly investigating singles.
Woman, do you want me to get caught?"
Speaking of which, the eyes at the back are pitiful.
Zu An was a little helpless: "But this room is too small. It would be a little inconvenient for us to live together, and...and there is only one bed."
At this point, he looked wary: "You don't want to do anything frivolous to me, do you?"
At first, he thought that the room was very big, so it wouldn't matter if two people lived in one room. After all, it was not like he had never lived in the same cave before.
But now there is such a small space and only one bed, how to live here?
At this time, Shang Hongyu's eyes suddenly turned red, and his tears fell like broken pearls - this is not an adjective, but a realistic description.
Because her tears fell to the ground and really turned into pearls!
Zu An had heard some mermaid legends before, but seeing this scene with his own eyes was quite shocking.
"Am I really that kind of wanton, shameless woman in your mind?"
Zu An apologized a little: "I was joking just now. Although the empress is different from the one in the legend, she is just more lively and enthusiastic. She is not that kind of woman."
In fact, although the other party was happy every time she teased him, every time he pretended to do something, she escaped faster than anyone else.
Shang Hongyu wiped the tears on his face: "What do you think is the biggest difficulty in pretending to be the Dragon King?"
Zu An replied in a deep voice: "It's not like the Dragon King's usual words and deeds?"
Shang Hongyu shook his head: "No, although these words and deeds are troublesome, I believe that with your intelligence, you will be able to learn them quickly during these days on the ship."
"What else is there?" Zu An was startled.
Shang Hongyu looked at him deeply, and finally said slowly: "Of course it's the relationship between you and me."
Zu An was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought. He understood the meaning of the other party's words.
At this time, Shang Hongyu continued: "Dragon King and I are husband and wife after all. The relationship between many couples is natural, but it is clear between you and me that it is fake. Even the slightest physical contact will reveal unnaturalness and flaws.
How could we deceive so many smart people in the Dragon Palace, and how could we get them to side with us? Also, your plan to go to the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons cannot be implemented."
Zu An sighed: "What you said does make sense, but how can I imitate the feeling between you and your husband?"
"That's why I specifically asked for the same room. It will take about half a month to go to the blue sea. During this time, we get along day and night and develop a sense of intimacy. At least I won't hold your arm. You
You must be so nervous." Shang Hongyu looked up at him, his eyes particularly firm, "I don't know what you think, but I must expose the conspiracy of the fake Dragon King. For the sake of the Dragon King and the entire Sea Clan, this
A little sacrifice counts for nothing."
Feeling the awe-inspiring aura on her body, Zu An felt a little ashamed. He had great love for the entire Sea Clan in his heart, but I was thinking about something here, so he replied seriously: "I am being pedantic. Next,
I will definitely cooperate well and try to learn without any flaws in these days."
Shang Hongyu turned his tears into a smile and raised his hand: "Then I will teach you the etiquette in the Dragon Palace first. Hold my hand."
Zu An walked over and just stretched out his hand, but Shang Hongyu frowned slightly: "Your mask is really ugly, you should restore your true appearance."
Zu An thought the same thing. Women don't like strangers touching their bodies, let alone the queen of a clan.
Seeing that he had returned to his original appearance, Shang Hongyu also took off the mask on his face, revealing his beautiful oval face.
Then she took out the two steamed buns from her waist and threw them aside: "Oh, it really killed me. It feels really uncomfortable to hold them."
Zu An smiled: "You also have to get used to this kind of dress. After all, you still have some time on the ship."
"At worst, I won't leave the room." Shang Hongyu said, naturally coming over and holding his hand, "Let's start with the most basic. This is the walk that the Dragon King and I walk when entering the Dragon Palace every time a major ceremony is held.
attitude……"
As soon as the two of them hugged each other intimately, Shang Hongyu couldn't help but feel a faint blush on his neck.
His hand was held by the other party, and he felt the amazing soft and elastic feeling on his arm. Zu An couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. This mermaid queen has such a good figure...
But he immediately restrained his mind. The other party was shouldering such a great mission, so how could he pollute her thoughts.
So I listened to the other party's explanation attentively and corrected various mistakes step by step under her guidance.
After a while, Shang Hongyu was a little surprised: "Your qualifications are indeed extraordinary. You have learned it so quickly. There are only some details that need to be paid attention to in this set of etiquette. Next, we will practice it several times often, and you should be able to complete it."
Mastered."
"That's good." Zu An wiped the sweat from his forehead. In this short period of time, all he had done was walking, but it was more tiring than practicing sword practice for several hours on weekdays.
Of course, the main reason is that you are tired. After all, such a beautiful woman sticks to your side so softly, especially the other person’s special identity. She is not only the queen of the sea tribe, but also the sister of Shang Liuyu. No matter which identity she is, she tells him thousands of things.
Don't have any evil thoughts.
But sometimes thoughts are like this. The more deliberately you control them, the more likely they are to have counterproductive effects.
Now that Zu An's cultivation level is high enough and his mind has been tempered many times, he can barely resist this temptation.
"Then let's learn the next step. Come here and put your arms around my waist." When Shang Hongyu said this, her heart was beating extremely hard, but she tried her best to keep her tone calm, as if nothing was wrong.
"Ah?" Zu An was dumbfounded, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"Ah, what? Wasn't it easy to hug me in the tavern yesterday?" Shang Hongyu glared at him angrily.
