White Jing Teng couldn't take it anymore, exclaiming, âDo you still have any sense of shame?!â
Dark Jing Teng was confused, saying, âYou like him, and I like him too, but neither one of us wants to step aside. So why donât we just both take a step back and play together? Isnât that a pretty good idea? What part is there to feel ashamed about?â
White Jing Teng was speechless. She eventually asked, âDo you really have no idea, or are you pretending? How can we do this kind of thing together?â
âWhy canât we do it together?â Dark Jing Teng snapped in annoyance. âIâm already trying to compromise here, and yet youâre still being so pushy! In that case, you canât blame me for becoming hostile!â
White Jing Teng retorted angrily, âThis is my body to begin with, so letâs see just how youâll become hostile!â
âIsnât this also my body?â Dark Jing Teng replied, refusing to back off at all.
When he saw the two women arguing angrily back and forth, Zu An couldn't take it and advised them, âSisters shouldnât be fighting like this...â
Both women looked at him at the same time and exclaimed, âYou need to choose! Which one of us do you want to stay?â
Zu An was stunned. He hadnât expected to draw their aggression to himself. He looked at these two, who clearly shared the same body and said the same thing to him with the same face. He couldn't help but feel a bit amused, replying, âIsnât it the same?â
âWe are not the same!â the sisters both said in unison.
They hadnât expected each other to say the same thing. Both harrumphed when they heard what the other person said. They wanted to turn their heads away, but one wanted to turn left and the other right, so they just remained in the same place. They could only stare at Zu An in annoyance and wait for his reply.
Zu An hesitated for a bit, then quietly said, âOnly a kid would have to choose. Adults naturally want it all...â
The two women were stunned, but then they were extremely embarrassed. Even Dark Jing Teng, who supported this at first, had begun hoping that he would choose her. As such, both women were of the same opinion. They rushed at Zu An furiously to vent out their frustration and anger.
You have successfully trolled White Jing Teng for +444 +444 +444...
You have successfully trolled Dark Jing Teng for +444 +444 +444...
Zu An began screaming miserably from their bullying, but of course, it was hard to say whether he was really in pain or if he was actually happy.
...
The next morning, when Zu An woke up, he sought out a separate courtyard to focus on cultivation. After several days of intense battles, he now truly understood just how many powerful beings there were outside of this world, some even beyond his imagination. If he still didnât exercise any vigilance, he'd only end up being powerless again when he experienced something similar in the future. Of course, he definitely didnât want to go through what had happened ever again.
He used a set of sword skills in the courtyard, then circulated all of his various skills once. But midway through, he couldn't help but hold his waist.
I feel a bit sore...
What a bothersome woman... no, pair of women!
Suddenly, a voice remarked with a sneer âTsk tsk, I didnât expect that even the iron-bodied regent could have a sore waist and back! It seems you definitely enjoyed an incredible time last night.â
You have successfully trolled the Second Empress for +745 +745 +745...
When he sensed her uncontrollable anger, Zu An reacted quickly and explained, âWhat are you thinking about? These are injuries left from the battle against the Lord of Slaughter...â
Sure enough, when she heard that these were injuries from the battle, the Second Empress couldn't keep acting angry. She moved over and asked, âHow do you feel right now? Should I bring over the military doctor to take a look?â
âItâs fine, it just hurts a bit. Iâll be fine after a few days,â Zu An replied, feeling quite moved when he saw her nervous expression.
âYour body is clearly so strong and you can recover so fast, and yet youâre still in pain. Does that mean that maybe thereâs some hidden injury? I think itâs best if we have the physician take a look just in case,â the Second Empress said nervously.
Zu An shook his head and replied, âThose who reachmy cultivation realm understand our bodies better than most physicians. Donât worry, Iâm really fine.â
When she heard what he said, the Second Empress sighed in relief and said, âThatâs good. then.â But immediately after, she asked with a big smile, âWhy are you cultivating so early in the morning and leaving that little sister all alone in the room? You really donât know how to pamper women.â Even though she was smiling, the cold glint that flickered in her eyes gave away her true intentions.
âLittle sister?â Zu An replied, his expression strange. âHer age is probably much greater than yours.â
âHow is that possible?â the Second Empress asked, stunned. Sure enough, her attention was diverted.
âShe isnât human. She might already have existed in this world for more than ten thousand years. It would be far from enough for you to even call her 'ancestral grandmother',â Zu An explained. He shared Jing Tengâs background with her a bit, but of course, he concealed what he wasn't supposed to say.
The reason he did so was because he was worried that the Second Empress might provoke Jing Teng out of jealousy, then do some unwise things as a result. White Jing Teng was one thing, since even though she was still rather unfriendly, she was nowhere near as problematic as Dark Jing Teng. However, Dark Jing Teng had once been the infamous Ghost King, the type who easily killed without thinking. What if she really was offended badly and the two went after each otherâs throats?
Sure enough, the Second Empress was incredibly shocked. She opened her mouth several times, but in the end, she sighed and said, âSo you liked older...â
Zu An was stunned.
This womanâs brain seems to be a bit weird... Was that the most important part of what I said?
But he felt that it was still effective. After all was said and done, when she learned that Jing Teng was an âancestral grandmaâ over ten thousand years old, the Second Empressâ jealousy calmed quite a bit. She eventually remarked, âAlright, that little girl... Ahem, that senior has really taken care of her appearance well. I have to remember to ask her for some tips later.â
Zu An was speechless.
Jing Tengâs method probably wonât work for you.
...
Then, the main army continued to move. After all, the Second Princeâs men were still at large, and they needed to quickly return to Primeval Iron City to reconvene with Peacock Wise King and reorganize.
Along the way, Zu An and the Second Empress rode side by side on their beasts. Meanwhile, Hu Qianxiao and many other leaders of the Fiend races were stunned, because Jing Teng was curled up in Zu Anâs arms intimately like a kitten. They couldn't help but give the Second Empress a look, but they didnât see any sign of anger or jealousy from her expression.
How is this possible?
They understood the Second Empressâ personality way too well. She could be smiling on the surface, while being full of bloodlust deep in her bones. She was definitely a vicious and merciless individual. Even so, right now, she didnât seem as if she had any ill feelings inside at all!
Furthermore, the fact that the young lady was able to seal the foreign monsters meant that she was definitely some incredibly great individual. And yet these two women didnât seem to mind each other at all, rather seeming to get along. The onlookers were immediately filled with deep respect.
The regent really is unfathomable. Just how did he manage to accomplish this?
We only have a few wives back home, and apart from being a bit prettier than average, none of them have many skills at all, and yet the harem inevitably ends up in absolute chaos.
Sigh, itâs a pity that we didnât ask the regent for some tips when he was drunk last night.
...
Meanwhile, Zu An was discussing how to deal with the monsters from now on with the Second Empress.
âWe donât need to worry too much about the monsters that have already invaded. Since the source has already been sealed, we can take our time getting rid of them. It's actually the Second Prince that I'm worried about. He might be taking advantage of the fact that no one outside knows of his betrayal yet to stir up a huge disaster,â the Second Empress said worriedly.
âIs there a chance of bad things happening to Primeval Iron City?â Zu An asked in a grave voice. âThatâs the Fiend raceâs base of logistics. If anything goes wrong there, even they might not be able to leave this place smoothly.â
âItâs unlikely. The Peacock Wise King is extremely detailed, and together with Nanwuâs resourcefulness, the Second Prince shouldnât be able to fool them,â the Second Empress replied after thinking to herself for a bit.
Zu An sighed in relief. After all, Yu Yanluo and the others had withdrawn to Primeval Iron City. Since the Second Empress had deduced that Primeval Iron City was fine, that meant there wasnât much to be worried about.
âWill he suddenly slaughter his way into the King Court and depose the young emperor?â he suddenly asked.
âThatâs exactly what I'm worried about,â the Second Empress said, biting her lip. After all, the Second Prince was part of the royal family, and he had a lot of prestige. If he occupied the King Court, he could just completely reverse the situation. More importantly, the Second Empress' son was in the King Court.
âDonât worry. I heard the Peacock Wise King mention that because of the monstersâ invasion, the path to the King Court is on high alert. It wonât be easy for the Second Prince to lead his men straight there,â Zu An said in consolation.
The Second Empress released a sigh of relief and said, âI hope that's the case.â
The two of them both had their worries, so the army hurried back. Fortunately, the ones the Second Empress had brought with her were all the cream of the crop. They werenât slow at all, and after a few days of traveling, their group finally returned to Primeval Iron City.
When they first saw the army, the lookouts in Primeval Iron City immediately blew their bugles. All of the soldiers in the city had vigilant expressions.
But then, someone shouted excitedly, âItâs the Second Empress and the regent!â
The entire city immediately cheered. Yu Yanluo and the Peacock race's father-daughter duo rushed out of the city. Yu Yanluo, in particular, had been rather scared and on edge. Now that she heard that Zu An had returned safely, she immediately felt really excited. She couldn't keep her composure and ran over quickly.
But then, she encountered the same trouble the Second Empress had. There was a beautiful woman nestled in Zu Anâs arms! Yu Yanluo couldn't help but stop in place.
