Her petite figure rushed towards An Zhen.
Her cherry lips parted, revealing two rows of white teeth, with a few small canine teeth. Her target was clear: An Zhen's shoulders, which were only covered by a thin short-sleeved shirt.
An Zhen didn't stop him; he could do whatever he wanted, but he had to be prepared to bear the consequences.
"clang--"
It felt like my teeth had bumped into something hard.
"Ah! Waaaaah~"
The girl's pain and cries rang out the next second.
Xu Tianzhen covered her mouth with her two fair hands, her pretty, slightly chubby cheeks filled with pain, her eyes revealing the girl's agony.
An Zhen gently shook his head.
Passive Spirit Ability Mount Buzhou's ability is to break the shackles of the physical body and improve the physical body as a whole, rather than simply improving qi and blood.
Moreover, Xu Tianzhen's power was also restricted.
"Come, let me see."
An Zhen's gaze fell on Xu Tianzhen's fingers covering his mouth, a streak of bright red blood peeking out from them, suggesting a rather serious injury; the force used when emotionally agitated is never light.
Toothache can be really bad.
As he spoke, a soft blue light shone from An Zhen's fingertip and reached out towards Xu Tianzhen.
"You bad person!"
A small hand slapped An Zhen's hand away.
It hurt to move her tongue and mouth, so Xu Tianzhen could only make a soft sound. Her sobbing voice revealed the sadness of the young girl, and her big, bright eyes glared fiercely at An Zhen.
"You threatened your great-grandfather to do bad things for you!"
"Kidnap me and put shackles on me!"
"He threatened everyone to depose my father from the throne!"
"You've taken over my house!"
"They stole my family's things and then used my father and the emperor to threaten me into becoming your puppet."
The girl's voice echoed in the hall. Xu Tianzhen, with teary eyes, looked fierce, or more accurately, pitiful.
All of Xu Tianzhen's misfortunes stemmed from the same person.
In just one day, such dramatic ups and downs occurred.
After the sudden outburst, there was silence; the hall was quiet.
"So," An Zhen's calm voice rang out, "you don't want to be this puppet?"
"I..."
Of course I don't want to be one.
Xu Tianzhen's gaze met An Zhen's calm expression, but he couldn't utter a word.
The crying stopped, and Xu Tianzhen's weak voice rang out, "I didn't want to be one."
The young princess, going through puberty, was somewhat willful and rebellious, but she wasn't stupid. After her outburst, the girl immediately regretted her actions. She remembered that her family's fate was still in the hands of the other side, and she recalled her father's instructions.
"I hope this is the last time."
An Zhen's cool voice rang out.
"Your father misunderstood what I said before. I do have some interest in you, but it's not to the point of romantic love, not to the point of admiration."
An Zhen reached out, and Xu Tianzhen watched helplessly as the hand got closer and closer to his cheek. He wanted to dodge it, or slap it down like he had done before, but his body didn't move at all.
An Zhen placed his finger on the girl's cherry lips.
The boy's voice sounded gentle, like a kind older brother next door, but to Xu Tianzhen, it was like having a bucket of cold water poured over his head on a freezing winter day. "My patience is limited. No matter who you were before, you are now the victor and the vanquished. You should recognize your identity and status."
"I...I understand." A slightly choked voice rang out as Xu Tianzhen reached out her small hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
"That's right."
I'm not very good at comforting children, but some things can't be solved by just crying.
An Zhen understands that her goal is to achieve her objective.
As for the others, he doesn't mind giving preferential treatment to sensible children.
A finger, enveloped in a soft green aura, entered Xu Tianzhen's mouth, easily opening her cherry lips. Her two rows of silver teeth, each missing a few pieces, tried to stop her, but she still let An Zhen in. The finger touched her wet, slippery tongue, and pure, gentle life force was injected into the girl's wound, which was still bleeding, and it quickly healed.
"Open your mouth."
"Ah~" Xu Tianzhen obediently opened her mouth.
"The wound has healed, spit out the fallen teeth." As for what to do with the missing teeth, Xu Tianzhen is definitely past the age of losing his baby teeth. However, this is, after all, a transcendental world. While the Sun Moon Empire may not be as good as the Original Douluo Continent in terms of Spirit Master cultivation, it still has a healing-type Titled Douluo. This is something the Empire has invested a lot of resources in, after all, doctors are really important.
"Let's go."
An Zhen extended her right hand to the girl, and this time, a small hand reached out and took An Zhen's hand. Xu Tianzhen gazed sadly at the ground, her eyes filled with apprehension about the unknown future, and glistening tears still lingered on her pretty cheeks.
"We have nothing to offer, so what's good about us?" Meng Hongchen said, gazing at Xu Tianzhen with a wistful look.
Does Little Zhen have a special fondness for petite women?
Meng Hongchen thought of Huo Yutong.
Back to Mingde Hall.
Laughing Hongchen went back to cultivate and study.
An Zhen led Xu Tianzhen toward her room, with Meng Hongchen clinging to An Zhen's arm and following closely behind. She didn't want anyone else to suddenly cut in front of her.
Therefore, we must protect our "home".
Then they crossed the finish line first.
That way, no one will reach the finish line before her.
Hmm, it feels like pregnancy is another new point of competition.
Hehe~
The silver-haired girl clung tightly to An Zhen's arm, as if she had thought of something, and gently rubbed her delicate body against his arm.
An Zhen opened the door to his room. There was no one in the living room. He noticed three auras emanating from his bedroom.
"I don't usually study. I'll tidy it up in a bit, and you can rest here for a while," An Zhen said.
Xu Tianzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her previously tense legs slowly relaxing. She was afraid that True Hongchen's so-called close protection meant placing her in his bedroom.
However, aside from offering some privacy, this arrangement leaves her powerless against any attempt to harm her, especially since she's in their home. Even if she screams her lungs out, there's nothing she can do. It's the same whether she's here or in the palace.
As if he had thought of something, An Zhen looked at Xu Tianzhen.
"Ugh." The girl took a step back in fear.
Could it be that he wants to regret it?
An Zhen reached out and grabbed Xu Tianzhen's wrist, channeling her spiritual power into the exquisite bracelet on her hand. Through powerful mental force, she performed a series of precise operations.
"Click~"
A voice representing freedom rang out.
The bracelet turned on automatically.
The next second, the suppressed spirit power and blood energy were released and began to circulate slowly and awkwardly, following the usual cycle of meditation.
Xu Tianzhen was overjoyed to find that his power had returned.
Why is that?
The girl looked up at An Zhen with some confusion.
"This is a sign of my trust in you, and it can also be seen as a test for you," An Zhen said. "It's not comfortable to have your power constantly suppressed like this."
"Be good, this will determine whether you put the bracelet back on or gain more freedom and preferential treatment."
Trust between them needs to be built step by step, starting with understanding each other.
Previously, suppressing Xu Tianzhen's power was merely to keep her in check. The current situation is twofold: firstly, as he stated, and secondly, because there is no one in the room whom Xu Tianzhen can currently defeat. Even in terms of spirit power cultivation alone, Meng Hongchen, due to his Immortal Herb and 100,000-year-old Spirit Bone, has created a significant gap between them.
'Was what this guy saying true?' A look of suspicion appeared in Xu Tianzhen's eyes.
I went to the study.
The Virtual World is manifested.
A princess bed appeared out of nowhere.
"Do you need to take a shower?" An Zhen asked Xu Tianzhen.
"No." The girl shook her head like a rattle-drum.
Xu Tianzhen usually takes a bath with the help of her maids before going to sleep comfortably, but now that she's in this guy's house, she doesn't even dare to take off her outer clothes. Although she knows that her fate depends entirely on the other person's thoughts, this is a kind of false self-comfort.
"Then get some rest." An Zhen reached out and gently patted Xu Tianzhen's head.
"You've been busy all this time, and after going through something like this, get a good night's sleep."
An Zhen closed the door to the study.
'If only it were just a nightmare,' Xu Tianzhen thought sadly. Her fingers had barely touched the soft bed when a wave of drowsiness washed over her.
'Never mind, let's rest for a bit first.'
Xu Tianzhen did feel tired.
Although she was unwilling to admit it, she had no power to stop the other party from doing whatever they did.
The girl moved the only chair in the room and placed it behind the door, as if doing something futile, to provide a little false psychological comfort.
She turned off the lights, took off her shoes and white socks, revealing a pair of exquisite feet.
The petite figure climbed onto the princess bed, curled up into a tiny ball on the large bed, looking pitiful, her eyes staring at the unfamiliar ceiling.
On the other side.
An Zhen in the living room dispelled her mimicry and reverted to her original appearance.
"Is Brother Xiao Zhen really interested in Xu Tianzhen?" Meng Hongchen asked curiously.
"Just like I said before, a little bit," An Zhen repeated.
As he spoke, An Zhen pushed open the bedroom door behind him.
Strange, given Qiu'er's personality, wouldn't she cling to him the moment she sensed his return? Why is there no sign of her this time?
"Smack!"
Upon opening the door and taking in the first glimpse inside, An Zhen closed the door without hesitation.
Did he open it incorrectly?
An Zhen opened the door again.
It's confirmed. It's not that he opened it wrong; it's that the two dragon girls on his bed are acting strangely.
Lying on the bed, the first thing that catches the eye is a girl bound up. Her long brown hair is casually draped over her shoulders, her soft, smooth skin seems almost supple, and she wears the uniform of Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy —a pure and lovely beauty. If that were all, it would be normal, but the key is the rope binding her; it's clearly some kind of erotic bondage, tightening her clothes to make her already undeniable beauty even more apparent.
A beautiful girl tied up?
and...
An Zhen's gaze fell on that beautiful, delicate face; she seemed to be asleep. "No, girl, are you really that careless?"
Nearby, An Qiuer and Zi Ji huddled together, quietly discussing a blueprint.
"Uncle!" An Qiuer exclaimed in surprise.
"Hmm~"
A lazy voice, tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction, rang out.
"Didn't we agree that if I tied you up, you'd let me rest?" The girl's voice was soft and gentle, as if a kitten was tickling her heart.
An Zhen:...
Is binding in exchange for rest?
What kind of strange deal is this?
"Hmm?" Unable to stretch due to her bound body, the girl rolled over and sat up, opening her sleepy eyes to reveal a pair of bright, watery eyes. Her lazy and somewhat naive demeanor was captivating.
The girl's gaze fell on An Zhen.
An Zhen was being scrutinized by strange gazes.
"Tsk, not bad looking." The languid and casually beautiful girl remarked, seemingly without any surprise at the newcomer. Orange had a good first impression of this boy who exuded a friendly aura. "Were you also captured? Is that guy gay?"
What is good male homosexuality?
An Zhen was a little confused.
"What's going on?" An Zhen asked An Qiuer.
If he guessed correctly, this girl should be the orange that he asked his grandfather to bring for Murasaki to look after, but why is it in this situation now?
"Hmm?" An Qiuer was a little confused. Her long golden hair fell to her waist, and she sat cross-legged on the bed with her long, beautiful legs covered in white socks. "Uncle, didn't you bring her here just to play with her? I saw it in the Snow Empress comic book before. It seemed like they really liked to tie each other up with ropes. I thought you might like that too, so I tried it out."
Comic books? An Zhen remembered that he mostly brought romance novels to Virtual World, and never any inappropriate books. They were all Dong'er's, so it was probably just a few random excerpts from them.
"uncle?!"
Orange was taken aback when she heard An Qiuer address An Zhen.
His previous languid demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by a serious and vigilant posture, even though the combination with the erotic bondage made him look somewhat improper.
"You're the mastermind behind having Jing Hongchen kidnap me here?!"
Orange had assumed that someone called "uncle" by An Qiuer, with such a powerful follower as Zi Ji, and someone Lord Hongchen would personally intervene in, must be at least a Titled Douluo. And someone who had cultivated to that level of spirit power was generally quite old. But to her surprise, the mastermind behind it all looked to be about the same age as her.
"It's me."
An Zhen nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the girl who had shone so brightly in the original work, wondering how the real Ju Zi would perform.
"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is True Hongchen. Of course, you can also call me by another name..."
" An Zhen." Orange spoke softly before An Zhen could utter a word, her expression grave. Thanks to her remarkable intelligence and memory, another name instinctively came to mind when she heard the name True Hongchen.
" Xu Tianran really can't keep his mouth shut." An Zhen shook his head helplessly.
"You tied me up here just because of this?" Orange's fair, delicate skin held a cool expression, her extraordinary bearing already hinting at the potential of a war marshal. The young woman knew how to use language to gain the upper hand, seemingly trying to stand up and further amplify her presence, but the ropes binding her prevented her from doing so. "Since you know it was His Highness the Crown Prince who told me, then—"
" Xu Tianran is already in prison." An Zhen interrupted Ju Zi, "Miss Ju Zi may not know, but recently the Empire has undergone a slight change."
