Chapter 2404: Drama is Life
Even though the woman behind Zu An looked really… plain, her eyes were glistening with radiance like two resplendent gemstones. Anyone who had a pair of eyes like this definitely couldn’t be that ordinary. But she had such a plain face right now, which led him to believe that she was wearing a mask. How could a beauty turn to thievery?
However, he didn’t voice those thoughts out loud and instead asked in confusion, “What does this heroine wish to do?”
He'd actually already noticed her when she approached him. At first, he'd thought that a maid had noticed that he was an imposter and wanted to interrogate him, but who would’ve thought that wouldn’t be it at all?
“Heroine?” The Mermaid Queen was a bit stunned. She had never heard of this new and interesting way of address before, but she quickly reacted and remarked with a cold snort, “You don’t seem to be that scared.”
She'd left her own palace under the cover of night and pretended to be an ordinary maid. She'd even put on a mask to change her appearance so she could save the Peacock Princess. But when she remembered how powerful the Incestuous King was and how many powerful individuals there were among the monster emissaries, she felt as if she was at her wits’ end.
As she arrived outside the monster emissaries’ encirclement, however, she just happened to have run into this seemingly slow guard. She'd thus decided to use him as the target and threatened him.
Zu An was speechless. It seemed that after being famous for so long, he'd gotten used to being the center of everyone’s flattery. His acting wasn’t as flawless as before. However, he changed his behavior quickly and said, “I’m scared, of course I’m scared. My life is completely under this heroine’s control, so I will definitely do my best to satisfy any requests the heroine has of me!"
The Mermaid Queen’s eyes curved into pretty arcs, but she quickly restrained her smile. “Less talking. As expected of the Dragon King’s subordinate, to be so cowardly!”
When she remembered how weak the Dragon King had acted toward the monsters, the Mermaid Queen’s mood became even worse.
