Chapter 2213: I'll Help You Vent

“You’re back?” Shang Liuyu was feeling a bit dizzy. She suddenly thought of something and her face reddened a bit. She quickly struggled free from his arms.

However, she realized that they were floating above the underworld abyss. She had already felt that it was extremely terrifying when she was on the cliff, but now that they were up close, she could feel every pore on her body shivering, as if the abyss was the mouth of a great ancient beast. She was frightened so badly that her entire body weakened. She immediately buried her head into Zu An’s chest.

Only after a while did she exclaim in annoyance, “Are you doing this on purpose?!”

This guy is stopping me on purpose to scare me. I can’t even get out of his arms!

But for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to truly feel angry.

Zu An smiled. “It’s such a rare opportunity to see big sis Shang so weak and delicate, so of course I need to admire you for a while longer.”

Shang Liuyu’s heart rate suddenly sped up when she heard those words. She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say anything else.

Just then, there was a harrumph from the side. “Can the two of you flirt at a different time?”

Jing Teng was a bit upset right now. She had been sleeping peacefully, and yet she'd ended up being woken up. After that fight, the strength she'd finally managed to recover was completely used up again. She'd initially thought that it was fine if she just had to protect Zu An alone, but now, there was suddenly another rival in love? They had finally managed to wait until Zu An returned, and yet the first thing he did was flirt with another woman right before their eyes?

You have successfully trolled White Jing Teng for +250 +250 +250...

You have successfully trolled Dark Jing Teng for +250 +250 +250...

Shang Liuyu was so embarrassed that her toes could dig out a three bedroom one living room basement... No, she was floating in midair, so her feet didn’t touch the ground and couldn't dig out anything.

Zu An chuckled in embarrassment. With a flash, he reappeared back on the cliff. He promptly stopped the attacks of the two monsters.

The Shadowhorror Devil and Bloodthirst Crocodile were extremely upset. They had used up so much time and were about to kill Zu An, and yet he ended up waking up!

This is the so-called pain of failing at the final effort!

Fortunately, that multiple personality woman seemed to have reached her limit and didn’t have much strength left. Otherwise, they would have almost no chance of victory if it was a proper two versus two fight. They were clearly at similar cultivation ranks, but after experiencing so many things, they had begun to mysteriously fear this brat Zu An for some reason.

Zu An ignored them and thanked Jing Teng instead. “Thank you for your help. Otherwise, my physical body might’ve already perished.”

Shang Liuyu’s face darkened, but she immediately laughed inwardly in a sullen manner.

It was this woman who saved Ah Zu in the end, and she even saved my life. I should be grateful to her. “Hmph, so you did remember to thank me.” Jing Teng had an indifferent look as she asked, “Then why didn’t you help me the moment you woke up, and ran over there to flirt with your lover instead?”

Zu An chuckled awkwardly. “Didn’t she jump down? I have to save her first, right?”

“You could have just come back after you saved her, so why did you stop down there?” Jing Teng was a bit unhappy. This guy had been flirting with another woman right in front of her face; how ridiculous!

“Ahem...” Zu An was immediately embarrassed. He couldn't just say that he knew she would be fine with how strong she was, right?

Jing Teng said, “Forget it. She was the one who held on over the past few days, and that was how you were protected for so long. I just came in later to collect all the credit.”

Even though they hadn’t interacted with each other for very long, she could still tell just how bitterly Shang Liuyu had needed to struggle during the past few days.

Shang Liuyu gave her a look of surprise. This woman was actually speaking up for her!

This woman really is proud. She isn’t willing to take advantage of anyone.

Zu An said with a smile, “I should be thanking big sis Shang, but I should also be thanking you two. These two things don’t conflict with each other.”

“Big sis?” Jing Teng raised her brows. She stared at Shang Liuyu, asking, “Just how old is she that she can be your big sister?”

She had lived for an endless amount of time, and yet still had to obediently call him 'big brother Zu'. Just how old was this woman? If Zu An called her big sis, didn’t that mean she had to as well? She could yield to anything else, but not such titles!

When she suddenly sensed the other woman's hostility, Shang Liuyu had a weird expression, saying, “I'm a bit older than him. That was what he called me when we first met.”

“Then with my age, I could be your gran... Ahem, don’t I call him big brother too? Remember to change the way you address him from now on.” Jing Teng thought to herself, That was too close! She had almost made a mistake. Even though Zu An had a bit of a preference toward big sister types, it wouldn’t include grandmother types, right...

Sigh, if I had known things were going to be like this, I shouldn’t have tried to act cute by calling him big brother Zu. Wouldn’t it be great if I had him call me big sis as well?

Zu An blinked, his expression turning blank. He really didn’t know why these two would fight over something so small.

...

The two monsters on the other side couldn't keep watching. “Are you guys done? Do you think we aren’t here or something?!”

The Bloodthirst Crocodile had secretly conversed with the Shadowhorror Devil in the meantime. Even though this Zu An brat was a bit hard to read, if Shang Liuyu and Jing Teng had no fighting strength left, they could continue the previous strategy of forcing him to protect the others. That way, they would be able to gain the advantage. With those two acting as useless baggage, no matter how strong Zu An was, he would still have no choice but to perish.

The two monsters couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. They had always conquered through domination over the years. When had they needed to scheme and plot like this? And it was all merely to deal with a native of a weak world like this, even though their strength had originally been far above the earth immortal rank!

They continued to give themselves mental encouragement. Their confidence gradually returned.

Zu An’s gaze finally turned to them as he said, “Oh, I really did almost forget about the two of you.”

The Shadowhorror Devil and the Bloodthirst Crocodile were speechless.

We’re monster bosses here and came to bring ruin to this world, to make endless creatures tremble in fear! And you actually forgot about that?

Can’t you at least show us a bit of respect?

You have successfully trolled the Shadowhorror Devil for +455 +455 +455...

You have successfully trolled the Bloodthirst Crocodile for +455 +455 +455...

The Bloodthirst Crocodile suddenly asked, “Where is the Skin-Flaying King?”

“He’s dead,” Zu An replied. There was no need to hide something like that.

Shang Liuyu sighed in relief when she heard that. That guy had killed her brother-in-law and forced her big sister to... become a real couple with Zu An. He had always been the greatest villain in the Dragon Palace, and he had even come all the way here through mysterious means earlier. She'd always felt that he was the biggest variable. Now that he was gone, she could finally release a sigh of relief.

“He’s dead?” The Shadowhorror Devil frowned. “I thought that he couldn't be killed!”

He knew about the special characteristics of departed spirits, and that they would just return to the underworld once they died. After paying a certain price and spending some more time, they would reappear. They were the trickiest to deal with.

“Sure, you two couldn’t kill him,” Zu An said indifferently.

“What are you trying to say? The special nature of departed spirits has left countless powerful beings helpless. Even a frog at the bottom of a well like you from a weak world at the border of the cosmos dares to shoot your mouth off?!” The Bloodthirst Crocodile didn’t believe him.

The Shadowhorror Devil was quite shocked and thought of a certain possibility. “Did you already win something special?”

The Skin-Flaying King had always been searching for something. The fact that he had died to Zu An meant that the latter had already successfully obtained that thing.

“That’s right.” Zu An nodded. He didn’t feel like explaining any further to them.

The Shadowhorror Devil’s entire body suddenly trembled. Something that could fully kill the Skin-Flaying King... just how great of a power was that?

“You’re just dressing up as a god!” The Bloodthirst Crocodile harrumphed, and then secretly said to the Shadowhorror Devil, “We’ll go with the same plan. Let's attack one of the women each. He’ll be unable to protect himself as he tries to save them.”

Then, with a great roar, he opened his massive jaws and chomped down toward Shang Liuyu. He was feeling a bit proud of himself for picking this pushover first, which meant that the Shadowhorror Devil had to go after the trickier Jing Teng. Even though she seemed to be injured and couldn’t hold on for much longer, she still had her cultivation, making her much more dangerous than Shang Liuyu.

When he saw him cunningly going after Shang Liuyu, Zu An’s face darkened. He watched everything clearly. These two were clearly among the most powerful beings in the world, and yet they adopted such treacherous and despicable methods.

When she saw that she was being attacked, Shang Liuyu was a bit worried. She quickly tried to push Zu An away so he wouldn’t be burdened because of her.

But Zu An didn’t let go and pulled her even closer instead. “Big sis Shang, this guy was bullying you earlier. I'll help you vent.”

Jing Teng raised her brows. She decided to just let Dark Jing Teng’s personality come out and make an exaggerated expression of disgust.

However, shortly after, she was stunned. She saw Zu An pull out a sword, subsequently unleashing a resplendent, dazzling burst of ki. It was as if a river of stars had poured down from the cosmos. Just what in this world could stop such terrifying sword energy?

The Bloodthirst Crocodile had a nasty smile because he was expecting to see Zu An’s troubled expression, but a moment later, terror filled his expression. That boundless and brilliant sword energy came straight at him, and then the demonic crocodile shears that made up his mouth instantly shattered under its power!

The terrifying sword energy gave him a feeling of powerlessness. He only had time to glance sideways, hoping that the Shadowhorror Devil would also attack so that Zu An would retract his sword; only that would give him the slightest chance of living.

But he saw that the Shadowhorror Devil hadn’t attacked Jing Teng as planned, and had turned around to run instead. He was already thousands of meters away.

You motherf*cker!

That bastard left me to die!
