Late at night, Dark Moon Palace, council hall.
Chen Rui looked surprised, "Old Gauss is missing?"
Jía looked solemn and nodded, "I received this two days ago. Kia sent an urgent message from the Dark Shadow's capital."
"Kia went to the Dark Shadow's capital?" Chen Rui was surprised again. No wonder I didn't see her.
This is what happened. When General George came to the Dark Moon last time, he saved a young man. He was the eldest son and first-in-line heir of the Custer Family, the top business family of the Shadow Empire. His name was Dior. He was plotted against and almost lost his life because of the family struggle. He was rescued by General George when he was fleeing. Jía and George's plan was to support Dior's promotion, which would be a huge help for the economic development of the Dark Moon.
During Chen Rui's coma, Jía sent her right-hand man, Old Gauss, to accompany Dior back to the Dark Shadow's capital to help him regain control of the family. Kia was also in the entourage this time.
The reason was that Dior saw Kia by chance. He was shocked and couldn't extricate himself. The young master, who had always prided himself on being romantic, was determined to impress the beautiful succubus with his diligence and infatuation, but he failed repeatedly. After learning that this charming succubus was actually Sheriff Chen Rui's maid, Dior still didn't give up. He made a request to Princess Royal to let Kia accompany him back to the Dark Shadow's capital.
Considering Chen Rui's current situation, he couldn't detect Kia's secret. Jía agreed to Dior's request. Kia, Old Gauss, and Dior would return to China together. However, Jía also explained that Kia would accompany Dior as Old Gauss's assistant this time. If Dior could really successfully control the Custer Family, then she could consider asking Sheriff Chen Rui's approval to transfer Kia to Dior.
This promise was a little fake because Chen Rui was still in a coma at the time. If he didn't wake up, even if Deo really took control of the family, without Chen Rui's consent, Kia would still be the sheriff's maid.
Jía noticed Chen Rui's displeasure and furrowed her brows, "What's wrong? You can't bear to part with this beautiful maid?"
"This' beautiful and lovely 'Kia was a task that Princess Royal Highness forced upon me." Chen Rui shook his head with a wry smile. However, there seemed to be a little jealousy in Jía's words just now. Woman!
In fact, this kind of transfer of servants and maids was too common in the Demon Realm. Chen Rui took over Kia from Alice previously, let alone for this political need. To be honest, Chen Rui did feel a little upset in his heart. After spending so much time with Kia, the little thoughts he had at the beginning had basically disappeared. There was only some friend-like friendship left. At least before some kind of truth was revealed, the two were still friends in a master-servant relationship.
Now that Jía "traded" her to others like a commodity, it was undoubtedly a blow to a man's possessive desire.
Finally, Jía also considered Chen Rui's power (feelings), so she didn't use the lord's privilege to directly give Kia to Deo. She just used the title of assistant.
Old Gauss's strength was Higher Demon on the surface, but he could actually use secret techniques to promote to Demon King level. Besides, he was resourceful. If she didn't have Old Gauss's support back then, she wouldn't have been able to control the Dark Moon so quickly. Originally, Old Gauss was in charge of the food base. As the Custer Family was of great importance, Jía sent this trump card. Unexpectedly, she failed to achieve her goal, and she disappeared mysteriously.
Chen Rui thought for a while and said, "This time, let me go to the Dark Shadow's capital."
"No!" Jía immediately refused this request. She wasn't worried about Chen Rui's ability, but his safety.
"The capital's sanctions didn't work as they should. They should be watching the Dark Moon closely now. I didn't publicize my sobriety this time, so I'm still unconscious to the outside world. I can just hide in the dark to carry out this matter. "
"It's too dangerous. You don't even have the power to protect yourself." Jía shook her head. Chen Rui just woke up from that kind of coma. She couldn't let him go to the more dangerous and unpredictable Dark Shadow's capital.
"Arux and Aguile have now broken through to the Demon King level. Arux will stay to take care of the Cloak Gang and help Athena train the guards. Aguile can protect me. Besides, under the effect of the inheritance power, I should have the strength of a Lesser Demon …" Chen Rui nodded, "Not only this matter, I also plan to go personally for the most important part of the plan! Although the Dark Moon has signs of recovery now, it has actually reached a critical moment. The capital will use more means to suppress and sanction. If we continue to be affected like this, even if we can barely support it, our failure is only a matter of time! "
"You're going personally?" Jía was shocked. That was the most dangerous part. It could be beyond redemption at any time. Besides, the Dark Moon couldn't provide any help at all.
In the Demon Realm, the Demon King level was just the threshold of power. Unless one reached the strength of the high-level Demon Emperor or Demon Overlord, one couldn't be regarded as a real powerhouse. As for the strength of the "Lesser Demon", it was purely a joke.
No one knew that the so-called Lesser Demon was at least equivalent to the Great Demon King.
"Only by taking a risk can we truly grasp the key to turning defeat into victory." Chen Rui's attitude was very firm. "There is no more suitable candidate except me. I have decided."
This tough tone did not make Jía unhappy. On the contrary, her heart fluctuated. After a long time, she sighed softly, "You don't have to do this."
This sentence had a double meaning. In fact, Jía herself also understood that with Chen Rui's intelligence, beast-taming skills, master-level forging and armor-making skills, there was no need to take such a huge risk for the Dark Moon. In fact, he could completely leave the precarious Dark Moon and seek refuge in a stronger and safer force.
Why did he stay and personally carry out such a dangerous plan?
"I promised General George to fully assist Princess Royal Highness." Chen Rui shrugged. "I am a person who will do what I promised."
Just for this reason? Just because of the promise to Athena's … father?
Jía's heart was inexplicably a little unhappy, "Then, I agree to your request."
For some reason, she suddenly thought of the scene when she first summoned Chen Rui in the palace garden. Those words, if I say it now …
At that time, he was just a powerless human who was looked down upon by everyone, or perhaps it should be called a talented human …
At that time, she just saw him as a tool that could play a little role for the estate …
At that time, he and Athena just knew each other …
This human once said that life is a one-way ticket. There is no way back and no return.
Although she didn't understand some things, she understood what she should understand.
He still heard the "order" in front of the sickbed in a coma. However, did he know those drops of tears?
From that moment on, Jía faintly understood something deep in her heart, something that shouldn't exist.
"If …" Jía suddenly said two words. As soon as she said it, she regretted it and didn't continue.
"Without General George's request," Chen Rui tacitly added a sentence and smiled, "I will do the same."
The displeasure in Jía's heart was instantly replaced by a strange ease. Her tone was even more unfriendly, "Hmph! This was your plan to begin with! Instead of talking nonsense here, it's better to think carefully about how to proceed with the plan! "
"The plan can't keep up with the changes. That part needs to be carefully considered. As for the Custer Family … wait until I go to the Dark Shadow's capital to see the situation first."
Although Princess Royal's voice was indifferent, the little surprise that flashed in her purple eyes didn't hide from the sheriff who had reached the level of Great Demon King. He smiled, "If I come back with a great merit this time, I wonder if Princess Royal can promise me a condition that isn't too much?"
"You're already too much now!" When Jía saw that hateful smile, she knew this guy was up to no good, "Don't forget that I'm a lord!"
So what if you're a lord? So what if you're a princess? Princess Royal Highness may not know, but in your sister's Royal Highness's book collection, there are a lot of ambiguous stories about female bosses and male employees. Of course, this could only be said in her heart.
"Just take it as me asking for a reward shamelessly! Is Princess Royal really not willing to agree to such a small … not too much condition after I risked my life to complete that almost impossible task? "
"Don't be complacent too early!" Jía was so angry that her teeth were itchy, "As for the reward … we'll talk about it later!"
As soon as this sentence ended, the sheriff's face suddenly became interesting, but the almost perverted gaze was awkward no matter how one looked at it.
There's still a reward in the future?
The guy whose thoughts had evolved to the "impure" realm felt his mouth dry.
No, I should be a very pure otaku. It must be Lomont. He who stays close to ink is tainted by it! After being in contact with him for a long time, I naturally become wretched. I'll go back and expose some of that guy's misdeeds to Delia. Let the evil Eye of Evil tremble under the Eye of Incubus!
Jía frowned, "Why? Is there a problem?"
"No problem!" Chen Rui shook his head quickly. Once this sentence was explained clearly, he would probably be killed by Jía.
"In that case, Princess Royal Highness." Chen Rui bowed politely, with a submissive look, and said solemnly, "Then I'll take it that Your Highness has agreed. Including the 'just' dance last time, I believe that when I come back, it will be the time for the great plan to harvest."
Great plan? Harvest?
What a double-meaning bastard! What do you want to harvest with this damn plan?
Jía finally couldn't control her emotions. She glared at Chen Rui angrily. Looking at her posture, she couldn't wait to burn the smiling face into a skeleton with the fire of light and dark.
…
After leaving the palace, Chen Rui was still reminiscing the cold beauty's angry look. Compared with the usual coldness that kept people a thousand miles away, he preferred this expression. It would be better if it turned into a smile next time.
The next stop would be the Shadow Empire. Chen Rui stopped and looked up at the night sky. Behind the purple moons, the bright stars were shining.
That woman's eyes were like this beautiful starry sky.
In an instant, the past that had been buried deep in the bottom of his heart involuntarily appeared in his mind.
This time, can I see her again?
