However, once relaxed, she's also incredibly carefree, casually hanging her underwear around her neck, languid, afraid of pain, and unwilling to force herself...
Having just experienced what could be described as the most dangerous situation of her life, and now finally out of danger, she naturally reveals a touch of languidness.
Even if her breasts are exposed a little longer, she doesn't want to force herself to endure the pain of covering them with clothes.
Anyway, no one's watching...
Let them be exposed a little longer...
However, the blush on the genius beauty scientist's face hasn't faded, clearly indicating more than just that.
She almost lost her virginity just now; her inner thighs are naturally slippery and cool, sticky and wet, especially between her tender labia, where the intense pressure of the glans seems to linger, and there's a slight tingling around the vaginal opening... a slight crawling sensation inside. Now, without any willpower to suppress it, these sensations became even more vivid and irritating, so she didn't know when her nipples would retract.
While enduring the subtle, strange sensations in her body, Zhao Zhiran also kept a close eye on what was happening above.
The battle between the Dragon King and Simon was nearing its end. Just as Zhao Zhiran had expected, Simon, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, was being utterly defeated by the Dragon King on his own turf.
His body seemed to overflow with blood, igniting a crimson flame, like a streak of red lightning surging through the water curtain.
His aura appeared fierce, like a sharp knife, yet he couldn't pierce the water curtain's defenses. Each direct clash with the Dragon King would erupt with large bursts of blood, which, though seemingly alive, flew towards his body, only to be instantly swept away by the Dragon King's water.
Encountering the Dragon King, Simon felt like a caged bird, his production space gradually compressed beneath layers of nets, forced to engage the Dragon King directly time and again, growing weaker and weaker…
Zhao Ziran smiled slightly; everything was as she had predicted.
Although the beginning and process were fraught with difficulties, at least the outcome was good.
Initially, when she received the locator from Xiao Dong's "liberation device" indicating it was moving towards Shikijima, she was genuinely alarmed, hence her trip to Shikijima.
However, just yesterday, after confirming Xiao Dong's safety through Fushiko, Choi Won-hyun, and Yoshihara Tsubaki, whom she had established in Shen City, her plans changed.
The previous deal with Raiden and the Divine Child was about creating a device to control the brainwaves of the gluttonous whale.
She had originally intended to slowly lure the two women, but after learning that Xiao Dong was safe, she directly used it as leverage, obtaining a promise and a guarantee of neutrality from them.
Indeed, even in her hasty arrival, Zhao Ziran never intended to rely on General Thunder, the Nine Heavens Divine Child, Tang Shuyi, Luo Ming, and a few others. Her true trump card, from beginning to end, was the "Dragon King."
This is also the most unexpected aspect—not any of the powerful figures from China, but rather the non-human Dragon King.
And the cause and effect of this can be traced back to Xiao Dong.
It should be noted that the Dragon King himself never claimed to be invincible in the sea. This was not the Dragon King being modest; as an anomaly, he didn't understand such complexities.
There was only one reason: he was defeated in his own home turf, in the sea, by a human.
That human was Li Dong.
Therefore, the Dragon King abandoned his former arrogance and began to align himself with China, even agreeing to "protect the sea frontier." For an anomaly, unless truly convinced, he would never bow down.
The duel between Xiao Dong and the Dragon King stemmed from their romantic world tour, so she was naturally present and witnessed it firsthand…
Using this connection, Zhao Ziran was able to summon the Dragon King.
The only problem in this entire plan was how to lure Simon to the agreed-upon location with the Dragon King and how to delay his arrival.
Zhao Ziran took a risk, using herself as bait. She employed her intelligence, words, even her attitude and eyes, not only waiting for the Dragon King to arrive and putting Simon in a desperate situation, but also preventing Simon from succumbing to her virginity as bait.
It was truly astonishing.
Only her two erect, trembling nipples seemed to tell a story of a trivial "price."
But if she could truly gain Simon in return, it wouldn't be a bad deal… Zhao Ziran tilted her snow-white neck, intently watching the duel in the air, but even with her intelligence, all she could do now was watch.
Witnessed by the beauty, Simon, though fighting like a cornered beast, repeatedly nearly broke free of the water curtain, only to be repeatedly thwarted by the Dragon King, bursting into large sprays of blood each time.
Sunlight cast a shimmering crimson glow upon him, and with his final struggle, several streams of water, like giant dragons, coiled and writhed towards Simon.
At this moment, Simon was filled with indescribable fear and regret.
He had thought that even if he couldn't escape, the Dragon King wouldn't be able to defeat him easily. As one of the Seven Deadly Sins, known for his pride, he had only been defeated by the God of War, and he was confident in his ability to defeat any other strategic-level superhuman.
But the moment they clashed, Simon was horrified to discover that his once-proud power was utterly no match for the Dragon King!
Even when he fought with all his might, giving it his all, he was beaten like a sandbag, utterly powerless to retaliate.
At first, he was puzzled, thinking he was just still recovering from his injuries… but in reality, even he couldn't convince himself why he had risked his life to escape back to Shiki Island.
It was because the flesh he had devoured possessed the world's most potent healing power.
Although he had indeed been beaten to the brink of death by the Martial God, his body still ravaged by intense Yang energy, damaging his tissues and hindering his recovery.
However, after consuming a small piece of whale brain, all his injuries healed instantly. Even his stubborn Yang energy was completely depleted by the endless regenerative power.
The seemingly ferocious red marks on his body were actually just newly formed body tissue.
Moreover, his previous risky acquisition of the virginity of the Ninefold Divine Child had also provided a boost… In terms of condition, he was actually at his peak, unlike anything he had ever experienced before.
However, his courage had been shattered, ever since his first encounter years ago, when he fled in a sorry state.
The word "arrogance" was gradually slipping away from him.
Being intimidated by Zhao Ziran and instinctively choosing to "retreat" upon the Dragon King's appearance showed that he had completely abandoned the quality of arrogance.
He was no longer worthy of arrogance, so his power had declined to the level of ordinary strategy, making him no match for the Dragon King.
Next, it seemed that as soon as he died, the quality of arrogance within him would immediately depart, seeking a new master.
