Chapter 881: Prepared at All Times

Zhang Lie was stupefied by Zhu's claims.

"I never laid a hand on you, and the relationship between the two of us is far from romantic!"

"You told me that you would bring me with you wherever you went. I worked hard for you, not hoping that my feelings would be reciprocated, but only for an extra glance or two from you! Why would you be so cold-hearted?"

Just then, the draconian sage arrived with a spatial distortion. It wasn't clear whether he had chosen to arrive at that moment deliberately—he had been just in time to see Zhu complain about her situation to Zhang Lie.

The draconian sage laughed dryly, awkwardly. "Ah, I came to greet Zhang Lie's sister, since I and the draconian world are indebted to him. If not for Zhang Lie's presence here, we draconians would have gone extinct already. I'd like to emphasize that I didn't deliberately appear at the scene at this moment. Please, continue on, continue on!"

Zhang Lie's face turned dark.

Zhu clutched at her chest as though her heart were being cut apart, as though the pressure from her hands was all that was keeping it from shattering to pieces. She continued, "I really didn't want anything but a single glance from you, Zhang Lie! Why wouldn't you allow me even that courtesy? You left me in the blink of an eye, without giving me an additional moment to accompany you!"

Chen Fan had, at some point, walked up to the draconian sage. He whispered, "He used her, then discarded her..."

Zhang Lie glanced at the source of the whisper, causing Chen Fan to raise both his arms innocently. "I didn't rush over here to watch the show after being informed by my old friend, the draconian sage, I promise! I'm a human warlord, after all, and I still want some face. You left so quickly that I wanted to see what you were doing, and I had sensed your aura..."

Chen Fan pulled out a bag of roasted seeds from his extra-dimensional storage as he spoke as he made himself comfortable to watch the show.

The humans and draconians were on good terms, and so were human warlords and draconian kings of the realm.

Zhang Lie's lips twitched. It was clear that the draconian sage had meddled to bring Chen Fan over.

During the exchange between Zhu and Zhang Lie, the draconian sage devoured three bowls of rice. It was almost as though he were watching a drama unspooling in real life—with Zhang Lie the playboy protagonist.

Chen Fan regretted that there were no cameras available in this world, or he would have recorded a video to capture Zhang Lie's moment of embarrassment for eternity.

The draconian sage looked toward Chen Fan. He was quite familiar with the look on Chen Fan's face, and he whispered into his ear, "One authority possessed by the king of the realm is to replay what happened in a certain location at some point in the past."

Chen Fan gave his old friend a thumbs up.

Zhu stepped forward and clasped her palms, her warm, soft palms, against Zhang Lie's. Her eyes, which beaded with tears, were clear and limpid. She looked straight into Zhang Lie's eyes.

"Zhang Lie, you were the one who saved me from a life of hell. You were my light amidst the darkness! To me, you're my only relative, my benefactor, and the person I care most for in this world. Without you, there would never be the present me. I don't know what place I hold in your heart, Zhang Lie—but to me, you're the most important person in the world, more important than even I myself!"

No man could avert his gaze from this pair of limpid ocean-blue eyes, gentle and compelling, with the ability to melt even the steeliest of hearts.

The draconian sage was open-mouthed. "This is incredible. I have to share this with Li Qianlin!"

Zhu continued seriously, "You were the one who bathed me in light, who showed me what the world beyond my village was. You shielded me from loneliness. You told me I wasn't alone when you rescued me. I've learned so much from you, too much. I love—"

.

Green veins were visible on Zhang Lie's forehead. "Are you finished, Zhu?"

Zhu clasped one of Zhang Lie's palms, then pressed it against her soft, cool cheek. "I know you might not think highly of me, Zhang Lie, and I won't be so willful as to say that I want you to take responsibility for me again. But even if I'm your second, third, or fourth concubine, Zhang Lie, would you be willing to keep looking in my direction? I'll be standing right here, by your side..."

The Yeluo chieftain and warriors were struck by the scene unfolding ahead of them. Chen Fan and the draconian sage were simply watching the show, but the Yeluo knew the status of the young woman standing in front of Zhang Lie.

In the kingdom of Limit, an ordinary citizen might not know who the princess of the kingdom was, nor what the prime minister Yun Bing looked like, but all citizens knew the face of one woman: the queen of the oceans.

In the year after Zhang Lie's ascension into the third realm, Zhu had made a name for herself.

With the endless hordes of disaster-grade creatures under her command, she crushed all enemies that came her way and took control of huge swathes of the sea.

All children in the second realm trembled upon hearing her name. A year ago, parents frightened their children by saying that they would be swallowed up by the asura; now, they claimed that they would be devoured by the marine creatures of the bloody queen, the queen of the ocean.

All those aliens who had dared to resist the kingdom of Limit had been crushed by Zhu and her forces.

And yet, this woman who had single-handedly terrorized the second realm was behaving like nothing more than a helpless girl in front of Zhang Lie. The Yeluo couldn't help but be amazed.

Zhang Lie let out a long sigh. "Alright, that's enough. Do you really want to give these onlookers a show? I won't blame Hanxiang any longer."

"Really?" Zhu confirmed.

Everyone fell silent. In that one moment, Zhu's grievances and love both seemed to evaporate.

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Zhu and Zhang Hanxiang looked toward each other before the two young women began cheering in joy, hugging each other and revolving in a circle, as though the infatuated Zhu of moments before had vanished completely.

Zhang Lie rolled his eyes. He knew that something like this would happen. Women truly were born actresses; even someone as young as Zhu had almost fooled him with her acting.

Zhang Lie chuckled bitterly. His sister had corrupted Zhu with her terrible ideas and antics.

Zhu and Zhang Hanxiang settled down, and Zhu turned to Zhang Lie. "Zhang Lie, nothing that I said before was a lie. If you want me, I'll prepare myself for you at any time!"
