Man on the ark, forced to become king

This is too much!

"...Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

Lin Lu almost burst out laughing, her face contorted with embarrassment.

He acknowledged her beauty and athleticism; when it came to exercise, only the sled dogs of the Ursus snowfields could probably rival her.

But other things...

Gentle? Cute? Beautiful 'girl'?

Do any of these three words relate to you? I don't think you have any idea at all!

"kindness?"

Nian raised an eyelid, grabbed Lin Lu's neck tightly with one hand, and his eyes turned dangerous.

"do you have any opinion?"

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right! I have no objections whatsoever! You are a beautiful, gentle, and sporty girl!"

Regardless of where she learned this string of funny words, all you need to do at this point is agree with her!

Lin Lu was very skilled at making a fool of herself in front of Lani and Melina, and after giving them a perfunctory response, she would take the opportunity to change the subject.

"Let's get down to business, let's get down to business. Have you ever been to Shelag?"

"Humph."

The young man snorted in dissatisfaction, his eyes darting around as he asked疑惑地问道, "What is Shelag? It sounds familiar."

"It's a mountainous country located between Colombia and Victoria—"

"Is there a country between Colombia and Victoria?"

This question completely touched on a blind spot in her knowledge. She frowned and thought for a while before clapping her hands as if she had suddenly realized something.

Snapped!

“I remember now, there really is such a place. I heard it’s a pretty closed-off country where people never go out. They’re even more of a homebody than my dear sister. It’s been so many years and it’s still alive!”

“They have their own gods protecting them, so they don’t die so easily.”

Lin Lu briefly recounted the information she had heard from SilverAsh, and finally asked, "Do you know this Yeragand?"

"I don't know him, and I don't have the opportunity to do so."

Nian shook his head, indicating that he did not know anything about the Snow Mountain God.

“After we brothers and sisters regained consciousness and traveled the earth, most of those old relics were either dead or hidden away, rarely appearing in front of the world anymore. Besides, my activity range is basically in the vicinity of Yan Kingdom, far away from Shelag, how could I possibly know them?”

"That's it."

Hearing her say that, Lin Lu was a little disappointed, but he didn't care much. He hadn't had high hopes to begin with; he was just asking if there were any unexpected surprises.

"That's fine."

The hand that was resting on her shoulder quietly slid down to her waist. Unlike the soft touch of Lani, Nian's waist was very firm with well-defined muscle lines. In addition, the sweat on the surface made it feel very smooth, like touching a piece of warm jade. The feel was quite good.

Snapped!

This time, Nian didn't jump away again. Instead, she shifted her body slightly and leaned closer to Lin Lu's chest, her eyes slightly narrowed, looking quite content, and humming softly.

"I'm ahead of all my brothers and sisters now, hmph, those single dogs wouldn't understand this."

"I'm planning to go back to Yan Kingdom in a few days to visit my elder sister in Shang Shu. You don't know, your sister is supposed to be carefree, but in reality, to use a popular term, she's a drunkard. She's always drunk and living a life of debauchery, and she doesn't know anything about the good things in life."

"This time I'm definitely going to brag to her properly. Hey, she has no idea what this feels like."

...So you're planning to go and cause trouble for your older sister, right?

Looking at her smug face, Lin Lu had a headache. He was really afraid that this girl would run to her older sister and provoke her, only to get slapped half to death.

If he were that "elder sister," he definitely wouldn't tolerate his younger sister coming to his door to show off and act crazy. He would have to teach her a lesson so she would know who the elder sister is.

Not to mention, judging from this, your sister is a heavy drinker and probably doesn't have a good temper. Wouldn't she have lost her temper on the spot and hung this brat up and beaten up?

People won't die if they don't court death, and the same goes for gods. Why don't you understand that?

"I advise you to wake up."

Shaking her head helplessly, Lin Lu looked down and saw pointed ears twitching slightly in front of her.

When he held her in his arms, he realized that Nian was actually quite petite, but her usually carefree behavior easily made people exaggerate her appearance.

"Whoo~"

With a sudden thought, he couldn't resist blowing a breath on her blushing, pointed ears.

However, things didn't go as expected. The snow-white hair floated gently, but Nian remained unmoved. He twitched his ears, raised his head, and turned to look at him.

"Hey, I've seen this trick in Xi's book! It won't work on me! Don't treat me like some clueless little girl!"

I think you're deliberately trying to cause trouble!

You think you can experience the sweet romance of ordinary people? You're dreaming!

At that moment, Lin Lu suddenly had a strange feeling that he was not holding a person, but a hard rock that could deflect knives.

This guy is even more troublesome than Melina was back then!

At the border, Melina acted like a block of wood, but at least a block of wood can't talk. No matter what he said, Melina just listened quietly without expression or comment. She truly mastered the essence of a block of wood.

That situation only improved when he had essentially resolved most of the border issues and was about to ascend the throne.

Wood can be worn down until it cracks, so how can you wear down a stone? What's worse, this stone bounces back! It even mocks you!

And what did she say? She'd seen this kind of trick in Xi's book?

Would you even see this kind of image in a proper book? Xi, what on earth are you looking at?!

"...Can I know what Xi is looking at?"

Sometimes, an image can be shattered in an instant.

From the moment those words were uttered, the image of the classical, static beauty of the Yan Kingdom was completely shattered.

Clinging to a last glimmer of hope, Lin Lu felt it necessary to ask in detail.

"She bought a lot of comics from Lungmen before, and I stole one of them, it's called something like 'Overbearing'—"

Swish!

In the darkness, like smoke, and in the blink of an eye, a two-handed greatsword with a red background and gold patterns shot out from outside the door, accompanied by floating ink.

Snapped!

Nian's body tensed instantly, and almost instinctively she broke free from the embrace, took a horse stance, and clasped her hands together, holding the sword blade between her palms. It was clear that she had mastered this move, and it was obviously not the first time.

"Shut up!"

Xi stormed in from outside, her fair face flushed, her eyes sharp. If eyes could kill, they would probably have already pierced dozens of holes in Nian's body by now.

"Don't listen to this guy's nonsense! I just bought some legitimate comics!"

The pale blue dragon tail swung rapidly. Xi glared fiercely at Nian while trying to explain to herself, emphasizing her stubbornness.

Aren't you just trying to cover up the truth?

Now the whole Golden Tree knows you read inappropriate comics...

So, does this mean she evolved from a complete shut-in to a total homebody?

Lin Lu's expression was subtle. He didn't dare to provoke Xi's emotions any further. He didn't intend to court death with Nian Xue. If he accidentally provoked her, he might be in trouble later.

"Well, first of all, I didn't hear anything. Secondly, it's almost time, and I'm planning to go back to Ursus. Want to come along?"

That last sentence was directed at Nian. If she were left here, the two sisters would almost certainly start another full-blown fight.

"Hmm, no need!"

Holding Xi's greatsword in one hand, Nian twirled it and waved his hand with his head held high, exuding an air of authority: "There's still a batch of things I promised Yan Kingdom that I haven't finished. Take my token with you, and I'll come find you when I'm done here."

"Alright then, where's the token?"

Lin Lu knew that Nian possessed the means to teleport remotely through his special creations. When she went to find Xi, she used this method to trick her younger sister. She remembered that it was a pendant made of metal.

"Just wait."

The arm holding the sword stiffened slightly. After thinking for a moment, Nian took off the earring with the bright red tassel hanging from her left ear.

"This one is fine, just take this one."

"alright."

Seeing that Xi's face was getting darker and darker and that she was about to explode, Lin Lu took the earring that was handed to her. Worried that she would be affected by Nian's reckless behavior, she immediately activated the Golden Tree Teleportation and disappeared from the spot with the golden light.

"..."

"..."

The flames crackled and popped, their leaping light reflecting off the walls, and the atmosphere inside the Great Blessing Palace fell silent.

Clang!

The sisters looked at each other in silence for a long time. Then, Nian casually stuck Xi's greatsword into the pile of iron blocks next to her, her expression a half-smile.

"Alright, stop pretending. I know you too well."
