Chapter 2152: Lord of Myriad Transformations

Zu An was speechless.

That was what your big sister asked for.

Unfortunately, there was no way for him to explain that. He could only take on the blame.

...

When Zu An and Shang Liuyu returned to the Dragon Palace, Shang Hongyu came out to welcome them. She asked, “Did everything go smoothly?”

“Yeah, we already got it,” Zu An replied ambiguously. Things had gone well, but some other things had happened.

“That’s good. I was worried that those guys would seoze the chance to steal it.” Shang Hongyu sighed in relief.

Zu An was a bit surprised.

Ka Qier didn’t show up at all today. What is he doing?

On the way back to the palace, when Shang Liuyu saw how her big sister wrapped her arm around Zu An, noticing how the two looked just like a couple that had been married for many years, her expression became really strange.

Big sis, big sis, do you know just what kind of social suicide is waiting for you once you find out everything?

Shang Hongyu was confused when she saw her little sister’s expression. She asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Shang Liuyu retracted her gaze, then gave Zu An a warning look.

You better not say anything.

Zu An had a pained smile on his face.

Just what kind of situation did I get myself into today? I have to act so much! At this point, I'd better get an Oscar for this.

“Your brother-in-law didn’t do anything to you, did he?” Shang Hongyu suddenly became a bit vigilant. She just felt as if something was off somehow today. After all, Zu An and her little sister were old friends, and their relationship was so close.

There’s no way he couldn't hold it in anymore and chased after her there and then, right?

Shang Liuyu raised her brows when she heard the words ‘brother-in-law’. He said, “He wouldn’t dare with big sis here. Right, brother-in-law?”

When he saw her clench her teeth as she spoke, Zu An sensibly chose not to retort.

“Really?” Shang Hongyu was a bit suspicious. She was about to ask more directly when the servants suddenly came to deliver a report. Some friends of the Dragon King had requested a meeting.

“Friends?” Zu An asked in confusion. He looked at Shang Hongyu.

Just then, Shang Liuyu said with an ambiguous smile, “What’s wrong, brother-in-law? You’ve forgotten which friends you have and need to ask big sis?”

Zu An thought to himself that this woman really did still have a grudge after all. She wouldn’t give up any chance to mess with him. But he had to admit that her voice carried a unique charm. Just hearing her call him 'brother-in-law' made him feel amazing.

Shang Hongyu quickly covered for him. “How could your brother-in-law not know? He’s just confused as to why they would look for him right now." At the same time, she quickly introduced those people to him. “These people can just about be considered the Dragon King’s friends. But according to information we received not too long ago, they should be enjoying their lives back in their respective clans, and they should be far away from the Dragon Palace. I really don’t understand who would come here at a time like this.”

Zu An replied seriously, “We’ll deal with changes by sticking with what hasn’t changed. If they really are friends, they’ll be able to help us a bit.” Afterward, he got up and headed for the lobby.

Shang Hongyu watched him leave worriedly. The things she had taught him mostly pertained to the inside of the palace. Most of the things outside the Dragon Palace had just been mentioned briefly. She wondered if he’d be able to handle the situation.

When Shang Liuyu saw her nervous look, she couldn't help but laugh. She said, "Big sis, don’t worry. He’ll definitely be fine.”

Is big sis really treating him as my brother-in-law?

No, she was never that worried about the Dragon King before.

...

Meanwhile, after Zu An entered the guest hall, he saw three individuals seated there. Every one of them was cloaked, so he couldn't see what they looked like. He couldn't help but frown, because all of them were extremely strong. They were all at least at the earth immortal rank! More importantly, there was a familiar aura coming from their bodies, the aura of monsters.

Are master ranks really beneath dogs, and are there just earth immortals everywhere?

Zu An had frequently seen situations like this from webnovels. He hadn’t expected to experience it himself today. Without reaching a certain level, one naturally wouldn’t know of things beyond that level; let alone the fact that these guys came from outer space. All of the alien monsters were stronger than the cultivators of this world. It seemed he had to do his best to strengthen this world as quickly as possible. Otherwise, for the stunning geniuses of this world to be inferior to those alien monsters would really be an unfair reality.

When the three saw Zu An, they gestured for the servants and maids to withdraw.

Then, the individual on the right, who had flames for eyes, asked, “Lord of Myriad Transformations, do you still need to keep that shoddy appearance on even in front of us?”

Zu An was startled. So the Fake Dragon King was called the Lord of Myriad Transformations!

This name is quite fitting. No wonder he was able to become the Dragon King and fool everyone in the Ocean races.

These monsters were clearly really familiar with him.

This is bad! How does the Lord of Myriad Transformations appear in front of these three?

Does he really show that faceless appearance in front of them?

While he was at a loss for what to do, one of them, who had a mouth that was protruding quite a bit, snickered and added, “Firedevil Sea Beast, did you already forget that the Lord of Myriad Transformations has no such thing as a set appearance? Even the one he showed us last time might be fake.”

Zu An sighed in relief.

Thank goodness these guys helped me out themselves and even introduced each other for me.

No wonder he had sensed a strong flame element aura from the first monster before, and yet the sea around them couldn't affect the flames around him at all. So it turned out that monster was called the Firedevil Sea Beast.

As for the one with the big mouth and scales on his face, he’s not some alligator monster, is he?

“Did you really think I didn’t know that? Are you kidding me? Bloodthirst Crocodile, when you’re acting all serious, you look like one of those old human fishermen,” the Firedevil Sea Beast said with a sneer.

“What did you say? Are you picking a fight with me right now?” The Bloodthirst Crocodile was furious. He immediately crushed the table next to him to pieces with a strike of his palm.

A thick bloodthirsty intent filled the entire hall, bringing with it a strong stench of blood.

“Do you think I’m scared of you?!” The Firedevil Sea Beast suddenly got up. Flames blazed around him and seeped out of his cloak, igniting all of the blood around him.

The flames and the blood clashed. Neither side could win against the other.

“Enough, enough. Did you forget where you’re causing trouble?” the third person remarked with a sneer. A black miasma entangled his entire body, distorting even the light around him.

Whether it was the Bloodthirst Crocodile’s bloodthirsty intent or the Firedevil Sea Beast’s flames, neither could approach even three feet around him.

Zu An gave him a look. The substance around this person’s entire body seemed to be fear itself, made tangible.

Is he a spiritual-attribute attacker?

“Hmph. Shadowhorror Devil, I'll give you some face and not bicker with you today,” the Bloodthirst Crocodile said with a huff and sat back down.

Zu An really wanted to go over and give him a kiss, because this little commotion had saved him quite a bit of trouble. At the very least, he now knew their names. Even though he could have found them out with the Rage system, that would have been a bit more troublesome.

The guards asked nervously from outside, “Dragon King, did anything happen inside?”

There had been such a huge commotion that there was no way the guards wouldn’t notice.

Zu An said indifferently, “It’s nothing, just a joke between friends. You can withdraw for now.”

As he spoke, the power of the sea swept through the entire room, cleaning all of the bloodiness and flames away. He had seen how the fake Dragon King used his abilities. He used a skill that was similar to the real Dragon King's, so he wasn’t too worried about being exposed.

When they sensed that the aura in the room had calmed down, and felt the Dragon King’s great power as well, the guards all obeyed his orders and withdrew.

As he looked at Zu An, the Bloodthirst Crocodile was a bit envious. “Lord of Myriad Transformations, I really am a bit jealous of your abilities. Not only can you change into their appearance, you can even use their abilities. I really don’t know how you do it.”

Zu An was startled. No wonder he hadn't been able to identify the monster with the Rage system. So the Lord of Myriad Transformations had that kind of ability too!

Does that mean he could just completely replace someone? That kind of ability really is ridiculous! It's no wonder this guy is envious.

Then just how did the Lord of Myriad Transformations obtain such a ridiculous ability?
