I won't say.

I won't say anything false, but I won't say anything true either.

This way, it doesn't count as lying to you.

Gu Yuena: ...

"An Zhen, you bastard!"

Faced with An Zhen's calm and indifferent expression, Gu Yuena, who had been struggling to control her emotions, was completely overwhelmed with anger. She almost forgot, this guy's skin was incredibly thick; it was impossible to break it no matter how much you tried.

"I'm so sleepy." An Zhen yawned and stretched. Then, she pulled the blanket, which smelled of Gu Yuena, into the covers and snuggled in. "Let's talk about it when I wake up."

Seeing An Zhen's shameless behavior, Gu Yuena puffed out her cheeks in anger, "Damn it!"

As she spoke, Gu Yuena reached out to pull the blanket off An Zhen, "What are you pretending for! Tell me the whole truth!"

"I won't say." An Zhen pulled the blanket tightly.

Gu Yuena exerted her strength.

Just as the blanket was about to be torn to shreds, An Zhen was pulled along with it, rolled half a circle on the bed, and landed directly on that soft, delicate body. An Zhen skillfully stretched out her arms to hug Gu Yuena, her cheek pressed against the Dragon King's arrogant body, and delivered a top-notch, deep kiss, "Sweet, fragrant Na'er~"

"You scoundrel!" Gu Yuena's jade-like fingers suddenly gripped An Zhen's shoulder, her fingertips gathering a sudden burst of strength. The next instant, a terrifying dragon's might, carrying rage, exploded in her palm, sending An Zhen flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the wall with a muffled thud and kicking up dust.

"An Zhen!"

Her icy voice was etched with deep hatred. Gu Yuena, her bare, jade-like feet exposed, appeared before An Zhen. Gu Yuena's slender hand pressed firmly against An Zhen's chest, pinning him to the cold wall. Her purple dragon eyes blazed with rage: "Do you really think I have no temper at all?"

"Stop pretending to be so affectionate in front of me!" Gu Yuena's voice was as cold as ice. "Every bit of intimacy you show right now, every ambiguous word you utter, is disgusting to me! You've been deceiving me for so long, how long do you intend to keep up this act?"

Those once tender purple eyes now held only crimson hatred born of betrayal; yesterday's affection and tenderness had vanished, leaving only a chilling coldness spreading within them.

An Zhen's faint smile gradually froze, finally turning into an unyielding bitterness. Her voice was as soft as a sigh: "Na'er..."

"Shut up!" A cold voice cut him off like a sharp blade. Gu Yuena slightly raised her chin, her beautiful face filled with determination, her purple eyes fixed on him, and said, word by word, "I am the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, not your Na'er!"

"Na'er, give me a chance." An Zhen didn't struggle; her urgent tone carried an almost humble plea. "Like I said before, helping you revive the dragon race is no empty promise, we..."

"Shut up!" Gu Yuena's purple eyes suddenly flashed with dazzling purple light, and a terrifying dragon's might swept out like a tsunami. The restrictions in the room hummed under the strain, and an invisible pressure, carrying a chilling killing intent, descended upon An Zhen like dark clouds. Tables and chairs were instantly blown away by the shockwave and smashed to pieces on the ground.

"An Zhen, do you think I'm incredibly stupid?" Gu Yuena's voice was sharp and resolute, yet also trembled with a hint of self-mockery. "A few sweet words and a touch of falsehood have fooled me all this time?"

"You have deceived my trust, you have deceived my innocence, and you have deceived my true heart!"

She had trusted him so much, regarded him as her confidant, treated him as her beloved, her emotions rose and fell with his, and regarded him as her only support in this era of declining dragons. She felt sorry for the hardships he had endured and the price he had paid for the revival of the dragon race, and readily agreed to all his requests, even when he suggested that other women serve him together, she readily agreed.

But what about him?
It's all been a lie all this time!

Gu Yuena closed her eyes, and intimate memories flooded her mind like a tide: their embrace at night, the warmth of her palms, the earnest look in her eyes when she made her promises... When she opened her eyes again, a layer of mist had covered her purple dragon eyes, and finally, all of it condensed into a deep-seated hatred.

It turns out that from beginning to end, she was just a laughable pawn on his chessboard, a clown who could be fooled by a few casual words!
The deeper the love in the past, the deeper the hatred in the present!
"Na'er." An Zhen's body blurred and landed on the ground. He could now use the many powers he had previously held in the virtual world with a single thought, as these were his inherent abilities, including those that had not been unlocked by his soul rings and soul bones. Seeing this, Gu Yuena quickly retreated, her beautiful face filled with icy hostility. A silver light flashed in her hand, transforming into a long spear.

An Zhen did not approach Gu Yuena, leaving some space between them, "If this is what you want to know."

As she spoke, An Zhen raised her hand and waved it lightly, materializing her thoughts and realistically displaying the events that had occurred in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Seeing the Ice and Fire Dragon King in the scene ultimately bring Huo Yutong and An Zhen to their deaths, Gu Yuena's gaze, filled with deep-seated hatred, locked onto An Zhen, her voice sharp with anger and resentment, "You forced them to their deaths!"

“Yes.” An Zhen did not deny this and readily admitted, “For a mere mortal to ascend to godhood, naturally more opportunities are needed.”

But then he changed the subject, saying, "But actually, we have to thank the Dragon God and the two Dragon Kings of Light and Darkness for this."

"It was the Dragon God who killed the Fire Dragon King, and the two Dragon Kings of Light and Darkness who killed the Water Dragon King, leaving them in a state where only remnants of their souls remained, destined to dissipate with time. Thanks to them, Yu Tong and I were finally able to obtain such an opportunity."

"You're lying!" Gu Yuena retorted sharply. "I will never believe a word you say again, you liar."

However, Anzhen's next question stunned Gu Yuena: "In that case, does Na'er believe the memories I just showed you?"

"..."

“If I’m not mistaken,” An Zhen said, his dark eyes fixed on Gu Yuena, “the soul of the first Light Dragon King should be in the Dragon Tomb. You can go and ask him, ask him what the truth of the so-called Dragon God War was. Back then, the Dragon Clan had the Supreme God-King Dragon God, the nine First Elemental Dragon Kings, and the Dragon Prince, a total of eleven God-Kings. If it weren’t for the internal turmoil, even if all the other gods and God-Kings rebelled, they wouldn’t have been able to shake the Dragon Clan’s rule.”

Gu Yuena couldn't refute these words, because from the memories passed down from the Dragon God, she knew clearly the power and glory of the Dragon Clan in the past. She bit her lower lip, and her voice escaped through her teeth, "You are shirking your responsibility."

“No.” An Zhen shook her head. “I admit that although I said it was a deal, I was actually forcing the Ice and Fire Dragon King and the others to agree to it. Today, I am just presenting all the facts, and I will also do what I promised the Ice and Fire Dragon King back then.”

Gu Yuena's fair fingers gripped the hilt of the Silver Dragon Spear tightly, her knuckles turning white. If what An Zhen said was true, if she wanted to hate An Zhen for killing the Ice and Fire Dragon King, then she should also hate the Dragon God and the Light and Dark Dragon Kings. An Zhen did indeed drive the Ice and Fire Dragon King to his death, but while she dealt the most damage, it was the power of the dragon race itself that truly pushed the Ice and Fire Dragon King to the brink of death.

Gu Yuena forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart and snorted coldly, "Eloquent tongue!"

“Yes,” Anzhen nodded frankly, a faint smile in her eyes, “Indeed, Na’er knows me very well when it comes to my tongue skills.”

Gu Yuena was speechless at his unconventional remark and fell silent once again.

After a moment, Gu Yuena took a deep breath, her silver spear trembling slightly, her tone resolute and unwavering: "Even if the Light and Dark Dragon Kings truly committed the absurd act of slaughtering their own kind, I will personally judge them one day. But today, you will not escape responsibility for the death of the Ice and Fire Dragon King!"

"What does Na'er want?" Anzhen asked softly.

"Of course, it's a matter of blood for blood." As soon as Gu Yuena finished speaking, her silver spear suddenly flicked up in a cold, sharp flash, and the space was easily torn apart as the cold light swept past.

“That won’t do.” An Zhen slowly shook her head, her tone calm but unusually firm. “I don’t want to die, and I can’t die.”

"What does it have to do with me?" Gu Yuena's voice was as cold as ice.

“How could it be unrelated?” An Zhen suddenly stopped smiling and looked at her seriously. “If I die, Na’er, you, Qiu’er, Zi Ji, and Bi Ji will all be widows, won’t you?”

Gu Yuena's eye twitched almost imperceptibly, and she said coldly, "First of all, I have long since severed all ties with you. You and I are now mortal enemies! You have nothing to do with me!"

"Secondly, the greater good of the race should take precedence over personal feelings. Biji and Ziji will understand this, especially since you have already deceived them with lies. Qiu'er is still young now, but when she grows up and becomes more sensible, she will naturally see your true colors."

“How can it be irrelevant?” An Zhen immediately retorted, her tone carrying a hint of deliberate grievance. “It is written in black and white in the Imperial Law that Na’er, you are my Imperial Concubine. This is a fact known to all under Heaven.”

"Hmph!" Gu Yuena scoffed disdainfully, a cold glint flashing on the blade of her spear. "Your human laws have no place over my dragon race!"

"Sigh." An Zhen sighed softly, feigning distress, and turned to sit on the edge of the bed. She was completely unguarded, as if she had long been prepared to face judgment. She turned to look at her, her voice tinged with helplessness, "So, Na'er really intends to kill her husband today?"

"I didn't kill my husband, I killed you, you liar, you murderer!" Gu Yuena's tone was unwavering. The beautiful woman who had once embraced her tenderly was now holding a divine weapon, approaching her former lover step by step. An Zhen's scent still lingered on her perfect body, but Gu Yuena's eyes were filled with only cold killing intent.

“But…” An Zhen suddenly spoke, her voice low, yet it stopped Gu Yuena’s approaching steps. “If I die, how can I complete the great task of reviving the Dragon Clan?” (End of Chapter)
