Chapter 218 - Girls with Different Fates

An Zhen felt guilty.

Then try to fill the emptiness in Meng Hongchen's heart with your love.

Their long silver hair was spread out, fluttering and dancing in the air as the two embraced tightly.

"Hmm~"

A weary voice slowly rose, carrying with it an unprecedented joy, as if a long-cherished wish had been fulfilled at this moment.

Softly, Meng Hongchen collapsed into An Zhen's arms, her beautiful cheeks flushed from the surge of blood within her, her face beaming with joy. Years of anticipation had finally come true. The white over-the-knee socks she had just changed into showcased the girl's leg shape, outlining a pair of slender and straight calves, while a large hand skillfully played with one of her white silk-clad feet.

How are you feeling?

An Zhen gently stroked Meng Hongchen's long hair with his fingers, while his other hand glowed with a soft blue light, and pure life energy flowed into the girl's body.

This girl...

An Zhen was somewhat at a loss for words.

Even though there's still plenty of time ahead, and even though they've only just started getting into this kind of thing, they're already so impatient, as if they want to try all the different methods at once.

The two 100,000-year-old Spirit Bone pieces greatly enhanced Meng Hongchen's physical abilities, especially since one of them was a crucial torso bone among the various Spirit Bone components. This powerful physique prevented Meng Hongchen from being as fragile as an ordinary girl, but her opponent was far too formidable: Titled Douluo, who also possessed a 100,000-year-old Spirit Bone. Zhang Lexuan begged for mercy.

"Can we continue?" Meng Hongchen blinked her beautiful blue eyes, looking at An Zhen expectantly.

One can only truly appreciate the flavor of something after tasting its marrow.

He is so close to Xiao Zhen.

Meng Hongchen wished it could stay like this forever.

"We'll talk about it when you've regained your strength." An Zhen gently tapped Meng Hongchen's forehead with his finger.

"Little Zhen, you still have energy, don't you?" Meng Hongchen stretched out her fair arms and wrapped them around An Zhen's neck. She leaned her head close to An Zhen's face, and her cherry lips parted, her voice full of seduction, "No matter what clothes we wear or what position we're in, Little Zhen can do whatever he wants to Little Meng."

As she spoke, the girl gently swayed her body, restlessly rubbing against An Zhen, and raised her other white-stockinged leg, moving it up and down like a kitten's paw, gently scratching An Zhen's arms and shoulders, making him feel itchy not only physically but also mentally.

"Then get some rest." An Zhen lightly patted Meng Hongchen's buttocks in an annoyed tone.

It looks very tempting.

This is especially true for An Zhen, whose blood and energy are still boiling.

But this is not a toy that can be ruined at will.

She was a girl who loved him deeply.

"Okay." Meng Hongchen gently rubbed An Zhen's palm; she was already very satisfied.

In every sense of the word.

The stains on his body and in the room had already been cleaned up by Virtual World, and Meng Hongchen lay on the bed with a new set of bedding.

"Brother Xiaozhen, go find Ziji and the others." Meng Hongchen said obediently, her two slender hands clutching the corner of the blanket. Brother Xiaozhen's body was too strong. Although she was unwilling to share her lover with others, as long as Brother Xiaozhen was happy, Meng Hongchen could accept anything.

"We'll go later." An Zhen lifted a corner of the blanket, slipped into the girl's warm bed, and gently pulled Meng Hongchen into his arms.

The beautiful girl squinted her eyes happily, her jade-like arms tightly embracing An Zhen.

"It feels like it's been so long since I've felt like this." An Zhen said happily in a soft voice, looking at Meng Hongchen who was so close to her. It was as if they had returned to the past. However, compared to then, she was now wearing fewer clothes, and their relationship had completely taken that step.

"One thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight days," Meng Hongchen suddenly uttered a precise number. For Meng Hongchen, everything about her and her brother Xiao Zhen was incredibly important. The girl buried her head in An Zhen's chest, her soft voice filled with deep affection.

"From that day on, even during afternoon naps, Brother Zhen stopped sleeping with Xiao Meng."

That was the time she looked forward to the most in the past.

An Zhen smiled slightly and gently stroked the girl's head. "Because I suddenly realized that I had those kinds of thoughts about Xiao Meng."

Before the age of six, after awakening his past life memories, he came to a place he didn't know at all due to time travel, which brought An Zhen great unease. At that time, he was not like he is now, who had the right and background to reach the pinnacle of the mortal world. He was just a child with no support and no strength. This world was too vast and unfamiliar to him.

So after being adopted, he truly regarded the family who treated him so well as his own relatives.

But the development of the Douluo Continent was too advanced.

That's the body's instinctive reaction after intimate contact with the opposite sex.

Although he wanted to marry Meng Hongchen in the future, it was still too awkward for the two of them at that age.

Do you remember the first time we met?

...

From our first meeting to our parting at Shrek Academy.

An Zhen and Meng Hongchen chatted about the little things that happened between them in the past.

The childhood sweethearts finally came together as promised in their childhood.

In the dimly lit room, a man and a woman embraced, their faces radiating peaceful happiness. The scene was serene and beautiful, much like the young boy and girl in the bedside photograph, snuggling together in the summer sun. It was like that in the past, and it remains so now.

I slept until I naturally woke up.

An Zhen opened her eyes and met a pair of beautiful, bright blue eyes filled with joy.

"Little Zhen-gege~"

A dress resembling a cheongsam couldn't conceal the girl's beauty; instead, it accentuated her graceful curves. Beneath the semi-transparent black stockings lay fair and delicate skin, creating a hazy yet alluring effect.

Meng Hongchen, with her long hair tied in a single ponytail, stood with her back to An Zhen, then bent down, making her cheongsam even tighter.

Morning exercise.

Let the tired Meng Hongchen rest a little longer, and An Zhen returned to his room.

No one was in the living room.

A figure rushed out of the bedroom, and An Zhen reached out to stop An Qiuer, who was eagerly leaning in. The girl's consciousness had been released by An Zhen after he got up.

"Wait a moment," An Zhen said.

It feels like the roles have been reversed now.

They were all eager to see him.

Shouldn't he be the one taking the initiative?

"I don't care!"

Some familiar voices rang out.

An Zhen took out a spirit fruit and stuffed it into An Qiuer's mouth, sealing the girl's mouth and preventing her from saying what she was about to say.

"Click~"

The fruit, including the pulp and the pit.

It was instantly crushed by An Qiuer.

Even in its transformed state, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, recognized by the Golden Dragon Spear, possesses terrifying physical attributes and strength that are unmatched by any Spirit Master of the same rank.

"Don't follow Xiaomeng's example," An Zhen said helplessly.

"Uncle~"

A pair of long, slender legs lay bare on the carpet. A stunning blonde girl leaned close, her golden eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at An Zhen. Her clear voice rang out, "Then let's hurry up and have a little auspicious beast."

"Give birth to a baby auspicious beast?"

What kind of nonsense is this?

"Uncle, don't you want to increase the number of Destiny Beasts?" An Qiuer asked excitedly, a tempting blush rising on her cheeks.

Reproduction seems to be a program etched into the genes of every living being, and An Qiuer is no exception. However, being a little over ten thousand years old is still young for a mythical beast, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looks down on ordinary Spirit Beasts. Even the Emperor Rui Beast, and even the Super Spirit Beast, must bow down to it. How could the proud Three-Eyed Golden Lion possibly regard something inferior to itself?

An Zhen shook his head, "You and I are in human bodies now."

"Huh?" An Qiuer's expression froze for a moment.

"Then let's restore ourselves to our Spirit Beast form."

Auspicious beasts are special, as are divine beasts.

'No, I don't have the body of a Spirit Beast.'

"Good boy." An Zhen reached out and rubbed An Qiuer's wonderfully soft cheek. "Having a child isn't so easy. Instead of this, you should try to master the Golden Dragon Spear first."

This special artifact is completely useless to others.

But for An Qiuer, who possesses the bloodline of the Golden Dragon, this is a significant opportunity.

"Moreover, I still have a very important mission on my shoulders."

An Qiuer has always been very obedient.

"Alright." The girl nodded gently, walked to the open space next to the living room, and a golden light flashed in her hand, and an extraordinary spear appeared in her hand.

An Zhen knocked on the door and called out, " Xu Tianzhen."

Even though you can just open the door and walk in, and even though the other party is a puppet, you still have to show basic respect.

"They're here."

A clear, crisp voice rang out. Although it lacked the usual energy, the unease from yesterday had dissipated somewhat.

Xu Tianzhen had already woken up.

I slept until I naturally woke up.

She had a dream, and nothing had changed.

But when she woke up and saw the unfamiliar ceiling, reality reminded her that the things she didn't want to face had actually happened.

The obedient girl opened the door.

Wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, light blue jeans, and somewhat Chinese-style clothing, with white socks and athletic ankle boots, she exudes a youthful and lively vibe, yet there's a lingering sadness in the corner of her eyes.

"How was your rest?" An Zhen asked.

"It's alright." Although reality is cruel, she slept very soundly.

"Gurgle~"

An untimely, strange sound interrupted the conversation.

An Zhen's gaze followed the direction of the sound and landed on Xu Tianzhen's lower abdomen.

"How long has it been since you last ate?" An Zhen recalled, but he couldn't recall seeing Xu Tianzhen eating.

"I haven't eaten since you took me away." Xu Tianzhen clutched her stomach with her small hand. Such behavior was not in accordance with the royal etiquette for a princess, but the rebellious little princess, who had been pampered since childhood, had never cared about royal etiquette.

And Xu Tianzhen was really hungry.

As a princess, she usually had someone waiting for her when she was hungry. But since being captured by An Zhen, she no longer had that privilege, and therefore, her storage ring did not contain any dry food or other edible items.

The private room at the restaurant was the closest she had ever been to food.

But I was feeling very down at the time and had no desire to eat anything.

After experiencing those things and taking a long nap, I'm naturally very hungry now.

"Feel sorry."

"That was indeed something I hadn't considered."

Seeing the pain on the girl's face, An Zhen spoke sincerely.

He subconsciously applied his own standards to some of Xu Tianzhen's actions. However, he possessed powerful vital energy and carried the "Gold of Life," while the other's cultivation was far from reaching the level required to abstain from grains.

"Let's eat first."

An Zhen took Xu Tianzhen's little hand and led her into the living room. In the Virtual World, a steaming hot meal appeared on the table.

An Zhen remembered the other person's dental problems.

However, he had not previously recorded the condition of the rubbing of Xu Tianzhen.

Never mind, I'll have the healing Spirit Master from the Sun Moon Empire take a look later.

The enticing aroma of the food drew Xu Tianzhen's attention; for a girl who had been starving for a long time, it was an irresistible temptation. However, the girl abruptly stopped herself from taking another step, her bright eyes fixed on An Zhen.

"Eat up." An Zhen ruffled Xu Tianzhen's hair.

"I've said before that as long as you're obedient, you can have a little more freedom and won't need to ask for my opinion on such trivial matters. You might even gain more freedom in the future."

On the other side.

The time when Orange had just left Mingde Hall.

"tangerine!"

A joyful voice rang out.

The petite girl looked at Ju Zi with a hint of disbelief, but once she confirmed Ju Zi's identity, she walked forward quickly with a joyful expression.

"Ju Zi." The petite girl stopped in front of Ju Zi, her face filled with excitement. She looked at her friend happily and said, "I heard from Teacher Xuan that you were taken to Mingde Hall by the Hall Master. So, did the Hall Master see your talent and want to take you as his apprentice?"

tangerine:...

"This is a long story."

Orange sighed softly.

However, she did not intend to tell her one of her few close friends about the complicated things behind her back, especially before she had a clear understanding of the changes in the so-called Empire. It was best to act as if nothing had happened.

"Did you fail the test?"

The petite girl misunderstood what Orange meant and comforted her friend, "It's okay, if it doesn't work this time, just try harder next time. Even if it really doesn't work, with your talent, you'll definitely have a good future."

"I hope so." Orange was still confused.

"By the way, Ke Ke," Orange looked at her friend and asked tentatively, "During my absence, did anything happen in Mingdu?"

"Something?" Ke Ke seemed to have thought of something, and her expression suddenly became extremely excited. "Yes! Orange, let me tell you, this is a huge deal."

As she spoke, Ke Ke took out two photos she had taken with her soul-guided camera.

"Look at this, this is a notice posted in the square by the Prime Minister of Empire, or rather, the former Prime Minister."

A guilty verdict has been revealed.

A manifesto calling for the removal of corrupt officials from the emperor's inner circle.

"This..." Orange quickly looked at the contents of the two pictures, her face full of disbelief. The amount of information was too huge. She had only been gone for a short time, and the world in Empire had changed.

Old Emperor abdicates, Crown Prince Xu Tianran is in cahoots with Evil Soul Master, who is unworthy of his position.

And, the regent, True Hongchen?!

Is what An Zhen said true?

Orange isn't some political savvy. Although she doesn't know the specifics of what happened, she can see some shady dealings. It's simple: even if the all-powerful emperor and Crown Prince are wrong, they won't believe it, much less relinquish the power they've already gained, unless coerced by a stronger external force.

" Ke Ke, is this reliable?" Orange looked at her friend with a serious expression.

"Of course it's true." Ke Ke nodded seriously.

"I couldn't believe it at the time either, but if you had come out a little earlier, you would have been able to see the Old Emperor's speech in Mingdu Square."
