Chapter 2536: Slave and Master Diaochan and Wang Zhaojun exchanged surprised looks before chuckling behind their hands. “Hubby, you shouldn’t be so greedy. Choose one of us. This is for your own good.” “One is hardly enough. Who are you underestimating? Since it’s a dream, why should I have just one beauty?” Zu An thumped his chest as if to say that he could take it. This was a weird situation, but his rational mind was no longer functioning. Everything was going according to his true heart. He couldn’t explain the current situation, so he instinctively assumed that it was just a dream. As for why he was having such a dream and what he'd been doing before it, he had no idea at all, and he didn’t think of asking those questions either. At Zu An’s insistence, the four beauties exchanged looks. “Since hubby insists on it, we will serve you well.” The four women chuckled coyly. As they gathered around him, their dresses fluttered. All Zu An could smell were their mesmerizing fragrances. How he wished that he had more hands and feet! He finally understood why there were so many tentacle comics in his previous world. It turned out that they were fueled by the experience of realistic limitations. Before he knew it, they were all soaking in the spring. The women's thin dresses floated on the water like vibrant flowers competing for attention. Hearing their coy laughter and feeling their smooth skin, Zu An thought that there was no paradise greater than this. The world scorns King Zhou, yet the world desires to be King Zhou[1]. Imperial Consort Yang suddenly chuckled seductively before diving into the water like a mermaid. Zu An was confused as to what she was planning to do when he suddenly gasped. He immediately understood what was going on as his restless body was comforted with tenderness. ... Meanwhile, the Mermaid Queen nervously grabbed Yumen Beiqing’s arm as she asked, “Oh no, why is the green flame burning stronger and stronger?” Looking at Zu An’s dogged expression, Yumen Beiqing’s face turned red. She spat, “He can only blame himself for his weak willpower. He became enslaved to his desires so easily. Not even the gods can save him.” Her tone revealed her anger at his incompetence. He’s at least a hero. I thought he would be better than this, but how could he succumb so easily? I have misjudged him! The Mermaid Queen found her tone peculiar. It doesn’t sound like she’s worried about big brother Zu’s life and death. However, she didn’t push the issue and instead asked, “Is there any way to save him?” “None at all. We’re just waiting for his death,” Yumen Beiqing coldly scoffed. “I’ve already said it. He only has himself to count on for this tribulation.” The Mermaid Queen bit her lip. Unable to remain still, she took out her Deep Sea Harp and gently stroked it. A cleansing song manifested as tangible music notes that drifted toward Zu An. She had no idea whether this would be helpful or not, but she could only do whatever she could. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖 What’s going on? How humiliating it would be if I can’t even withstand something of this extent! Taking a deep breath, Zu An channeled his ki to calm his emotions. But Diaochan and Wang Zhaojun took this chance to kiss his chest, while Xi Shi sealed his lips. He immediately stiffened up. Even steel tempered a hundred times would be reduced to jelly under such tenderness! His face reddened. No, I can’t admit defeat at a time like this. It might be unfair, but now that I’m outnumbered here, I have no choice. He channeled his Primordial Origin Sutra and unleashed his Golden Phoenix ability. Perhaps they were famed beauties in history, but they were still women. How could they withstand the combined prowess of the primordial ki and the Golden Phoenix’s skill? The tables were quickly turned. These women were too formidable; they were the cream of the crop. Ordinary men wouldn’t hesitate to toss aside their armor for any one of them. While Zu An was extraordinarily talented, he was at a disadvantage going up against four of them at once. The situation was too precarious. If he let the four women claim the initiative, it would only be a matter of time before he succumbed. So, he found an opportunity and went on the offense. Not only was he talented, but he also had plenty of experience with his lovers. He usually held back out of concern for his lovers, but there was no reason for him to do so here. All of a sudden, the hunters had become the prey. ... Looking at the four women lying weakly by the spring, showing expressions very similar to those from erotic doujinshis, Zu An suddenly felt a massive sense of triumph. He cried out, “Come, let’s go at it for another three hundred rounds!” Seeing that Zu An was getting more and more excited, the four women turned pale and hurriedly fled. Zu An tried to give chase, but the four women were so fast that they quickly disappeared from his line of sight. “What’s going on?” Zu An stood naked on the spot, feeling a little confused by the situation. Just then, he heard a calming melody that gradually calmed his restless heart. “Ah, I’m still undergoing my tribulation...” He finally remembered the plight he was in, which also explained the inexplicable situation he had just been through. Slowly opening his eyes, he first looked at the tribulation clouds above, before looking at the green flames slowly receding from his body. He was a little confused. So, did I succeed or not? Countless planets suddenly appeared out of a void in the universe. They were interwoven together in a way that resembled the opening of a massive eye. Those who approached these planets would feel a surge of desire and depravity, and if they were lacking in willpower, they could succumb right away. Only a few experts with steadfast minds could keep themselves together. “Instead of being enslaved to your desires, you’re seeking to become the master of your desires? Interesting...” The eye closed, and everything reverted to normal. But a commotion broke out amid the lifeforms dwelling in the region. They speculated fervently about why that being had suddenly opened its eyes. Meanwhile, Yumen Beiqing was extremely shocked that Zu An had surprised the Fire Tribulation. She'd thought that lustful man would struggle the most here, and the outcome was beyond her expectation. The tribulation cloud swirled once more, and a tinge of blue surfaced. A wind began to brew. Yumen Beiqing’s face twisted in shock. She instinctively shouted to Zu An, “Be careful! The Wind Tribulation is up next! It’s not directional winds, seasonal winds, nor nature winds, but Crow Wind! It can blow into your body through your forehead and into your innards, dantian, acupoints, bones, and flesh, disintegrating everything along its path...” Before she could finish her words, a terrifying wind had already entered Zu An’s body through his head. Despite his body being more resilient than a dragon’s, he couldn’t withstand it at all. His brawny body began to melt, turning into a withered skeleton in almost an instant. 1.
