The brilliance of the 2 moons quietly changed to purple. The sheriff's house, which still looked gloomy and quiet on the outside, was full of noises that outsiders didn't know. It seemed very lively.
"My sir captain, sir uncle, you are too shameless! We hid here and waited for your corpse hard, but you are enjoying the best wine and beauty in that good place! " Lomont was shameless. He was drinking the wine that Chen Rui brought from Crystal Valley while stuffing it into the space ring. He kept complaining with righteous indignation. It was obvious that he was a shameless guy who ate and abducted others.
"You actually met Jacob?" Paglio showed a dignified expression, then he immediately showed his true nature, "Did you get his treasure? As a partner who shares life, I have the right to ask for a share of the loot you obtained! Don't try to hide or prevaricate. I know your cunning and greed very well! "
Chen Rui was only halfway through his story, but he was interrupted several times by these 2 guys. He was quite speechless.
What was even more speechless was that Dodo wasn't listening at all. Instead, he turned into Chen Rui, holding an apple in each hand. One was swinging in front of the little black horse while the other was stuffing into his mouth. He said vaguely, "Guoguo … Guoguo …"
Since seeing Chen Rui teasing the little black horse with fruits, Dodo had become interested in this newcomer. For some reason, the slime could actually understand the little black horse's voice. Unfortunately, the little black horse didn't listen to him at all. When he was annoyed, he would directly cast [Terror] on this fake.
On the other side, Paglio's expression had sublimated to a hateful look, "As a noble Dragons with rich financial experience, I, Paglio, haven't gone out to plunder … collect wasted property for a long time. I deliberately went out a few times a few days ago, but this damn place is really a poor and remote place. There isn't even a decent treasure, let alone any artifact! A dragon can't even sleep in a pile of treasures. That feeling of emptiness is simply a great shame! "
Emptiness? Chen Rui was speechless. 'Paglio even went out to explore the way. Doesn't he know that rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows?' Fortunately, the Dark Moon City was a poor place. There was really nothing that could catch the attention of this dead duck dragon.
Chen Rui directly threw out a gold crystal bed that he got when the crystal Dragons were dormant last time and smashed it fiercely at the dragons full of the stench of money. Paglio caught it and carefully examined it for a while with the eyes of an expert in treasure appraisal. Finally, he lay down in front of everyone with a smile and a satisfied expression. The so-called dragon's dignity and bearing were all thrown to the f * cking human world.
How did I get to know these two weirdos … and an unreliable servant? Fortunately, Delia and Athena were still very good listeners. Just as he thought of this, he saw Delia looking at him expectantly and then pointing at herself.
It's rare for a normal pretty girl to be insulted by these two unscrupulous guys! Chen Rui helplessly took out a pair of gloves as thin as cicada's wings. It was seized from Sabrina. It had high defense and could enhance the power of the water element.
Seeing Delia took it happily, Chen Rui sighed secretly. Do I have it easy?
Athena watched all this with a smile. She never took back her hand that he was holding.
Chen Rui's story continued. When it came to the thrilling part, even the two guys who liked to interrupt closed their mouths.
Paglio sat up from the gold crystal bed and said emotionally, "That Empress Catherine defeated the joint forces of Jacob and 3 other peak stage Demon Overlords by herself?"
Chen Rui's story was still somewhat reserved. He slightly changed the plot. He only said that Catherine the Great came in person, and he pretended to be dead and lay on the ground to witness all of this.
"Yes, the guy named Manu should not be far from death. If Jacob and Azgalor didn't run fast, there would definitely be casualties."
Paglio really showed a solemn expression this time: The strength gap between Demon Overlords is very big, but I know Jacob's strength very well. This Catherine actually has this kind of power. Even if I recover to my peak state, I'm afraid I'm not her opponent. What's more, I'm limited by the seal now, so I've only recovered to the state of the peak stage Demon Emperor. Even Paglio himself couldn't see any clues about the 6 ancient runes slabs. It seemed that he could only hope to find the fairy dragon, Rolla. Who cares, I'll think about it later. Being able to sleep on this gold crystal bed is no less than sleeping on a pile of black crystal coins. At least I can have a solid dream tonight.
Delia was surprised to see Chen Rui take out the highest artifact of the Leviathan Royal Family, Demon Shield, from his "body". This state of "fusion" should be the highest recognition of the artifact. What surprised her even more was that she, who had been recognized by the Demon Shield, couldn't sense the strange connection anymore, and the Illusory Shield couldn't be combined with the Demon Shield in this case.
Chen Rui was surprised. Does the [Deep Analysis] of the Super System also have this effect of "snatching control"? The God-Eating Mask that has been completely analyzed can't even be taken off. This is … equipment binding? Damn …
Initially, he analyzed the Demon Shield to trick Broc and increase his chances of survival. In the battle, the Demon Shield did save his life, but now it caused the original successor, Delia, to lose control. Chen Rui couldn't help but regret it.
Delia saw Chen Rui's thoughts. She smiled slightly, indicating that it was okay. With the Illusory Shield, she could still resist Broc's [Soul Shackles]. The others naturally attributed this matter to the strange power inherited by the ancient grand master. Otherwise, how could a human fuse 7 artifacts? In fact, Chen Rui not only had the Demon Shield but also a complete artifact like the God-Eating Mask. It was just that in terms of power, it seemed to be weakened.
Lomont didn't care. He was stubborn and joking, but he was never ambiguous when it came to business. Both his and Delia's lives were saved by Chen Rui. Now that he was with Delia, it was also Chen Rui's credit. Never mind the Demon Shield, even if it was the artifact of the Belphegor Royal Family, Breeze Shadow Boots, he didn't care.
A quiet night.
"Let's sign a symbiotic contract, okay?"
In the room, Athena lay in Chen Rui's arms and suddenly said such a sentence.
"I know that you can carry more than one contract on you." Athena raised her head seriously and looked at Chen Rui. "Although I don't know how to perform the symbiotic contract, Paglio should be able to help us."
Chen Rui saw that Athena was not joking, and he asked in surprise, "Why do you have such an idea?"
"3 years ago, Lomont and Delia adventured together in the Silent Night Wetland, and they almost died; 3 years later, Delia went to the Silent Night Wetland, and Lomont still accompanied her. What about me? When you risked your life in the Silent Night Wetland and the Shadow Empire, I stayed alone in this so-called safe place. "
"I'm not a vase. I have the ability and courage to face danger with the man I love." Athena's eyes were already red. "I understand that you're thinking for me. Just like when Lomont left Delia, he was also thinking for her, but is Delia happy?"
Chen Rui was shocked. Since the battle in the underground world of Mountain Xilang, he had never wanted Athena to face danger again, but he never thought from her point of view.
"I know it's a little selfish to say this. Your wisdom is amazing. Your plan and calculation even amazed my father. I won't destroy your plan or become your burden." Athena's eyes glistened with tears, "I just want to connect my life with you and face life and death with you, even if I'm not by your side."
Chen Rui looked at the beloved woman in front of him, the face that was still persistent with tears.
The scene when she faced Glorfin in Mountain Xilang appeared in front of his eyes again. She, who turned into a witch, was burning with the flame of life.
"But, I still love you. It's not like, it's love."
"Maybe it's like the story you told. We will meet again in a certain underworld. No matter what, don't forget me!"
This love of sharing life and death had been deeply imprinted in each other's souls. Even at the last moment of dissipation, it would not disappear.
Chen Rui's eyes were a little moist. He held her face and looked at the pair of crystal red eyes affectionately as if it was the most precious treasure in the world, "Athena, answer a few questions for me. If I don't have a house, a car, and money, will you still be willing to accept my gaze like this? "
"Of course." Athena replied. She was a little puzzled: If you don't have a house, can't you build it together? It's just like the warm hut in the green leaf forest of Mountain Xilang. Although it's simple, it's warmer than all the luxurious and spacious houses I used to live in. Car … is it a luxury carriage? Other than showing off, what else can that thing be used for? As for money … it's fine as long as it's enough. Anyway, I don't like any special luxury goods. Sometimes just an ordinary dress that he bought is enough to make me happy for a long time.
"What if I don't have the power?"
Athena blushed, "Actually … in the black rainforest, my heart has already been cheated by you. At that time, you were just a powerless human, at least you acted like this in front of me."
Chen Rui straightened up and solemnly said to Athena, "Then, the last question, Ms. Athena, regardless of poverty, disease or death, are you willing to accompany this man for a lifetime?"
Athena suddenly understood something. Her hand that was held by him trembled slightly because of nervousness. She said firmly, "I'm willing, regardless of poverty, disease or death."
Chen Rui felt warm in his heart. Suddenly, he knelt down on one knee and put a magic ring on the ring finger of her left hand, "This is an ancient custom. It means … even if you want to regret in the future, I will snatch you back shamelessly … Although it's a bit hasty, this magic ring that I personally made can be regarded as an agreement in advance. In the future, when the time is right, we will have an unforgettable grand ceremony."
After that, he added another sentence, "This is the deepest bond and the best symbiotic contract."
Athena's heart was instantly filled with great happiness and surprise. Tears overflowed from her eyes again. This time, it was a sweet taste. Their lips and tongues were tightly intertwined like two hearts.
After the affectionate kiss, the two almost couldn't control their emotions. Fortunately, Chen Rui finally restrained the desire in his heart. After all, Athena's 20th birthday hadn't arrived yet. He couldn't ruin her best chance to advance to Great Demon King because of a momentary impulse.
After calming down for a moment, Athena's low voice sounded, "This time, you went to the Shadow Empire … did you see her?"
"I just met her once." Chen Rui didn't want to reveal Christina's identity. He just said that he met her in the palace and then went to the Crystal Valley.
"Oh." Athena didn't ask further as if she was just asking casually. It was enough to hear an answer. However, Chen Rui still heard the "unhappiness" in it. He remembered that this heroine promised that she wouldn't be jealous and agreed to accept Christina, even the little princess and Kia. Now …
"Don't think too much." Chen Rui shook his head and said, "Actually, it's hard for me and her … to have a result."
When talking about Christina just now, Athena's heart was sour. At this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of guilt as if she was really a petty jealous woman. After all, even a self-disciplined person like her father had 12 wives. In contrast, Chen Rui did have a pitiful number. She immediately added, "By the way, Kia … is very pitiful. When she returns from the White Feather Estate with Princess Royal, let her come back here to live."
Chen Rui glanced at her in surprise. He felt ashamed when he thought that he had Athena, but he still "provoked" other women. However, since things had reached this point, he definitely couldn't abandon Kia. Fortunately, Kia was included in the acceptable "staff" by Athena early on. This was thanks to the environment of the Demon Realm.
He was very smart not to say much about this matter. He changed the topic and asked, "What's going on with the White Feather Estate?"
Athena's answer made Chen Rui frown. The Dark Moon, the Red Spirit Estate, the White Feather Estate, and the Blue Lava Estate were the 4 major estates of the Fallen Angel Empire. The White Feather Estate's Lord Sicali was an admirer of Princess Royal, and he was also the biggest lord who supported the Dark Moon on the surface. This time, he invited Princess Royal to the estate for an official visit. Firstly, it was to show the attitude of the White Feather Estate to the capital. Secondly, it might be to give some assistance to the capital's sanctions.
Chen Rui knew about the White Feather Estate, but he didn't know that the lord, Sicali, was actually an admirer of Jía. There was still a vague feeling between him and Jía. It was more of an ambiguous feeling. When he heard about this now, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Athena had always misunderstood the relationship between Chen Rui and Jía, but she didn't notice his little emotions at the moment. She just sighed, "Princess Royal doesn't know about Kia. In order to prevent her from taking the opportunity to make trouble in the estate, she specially took her to the White Feather Estate. The affairs in the estate were handed over to Old Gauss, Old Ford of the Saiful Family, and me to take care of. Your method is very effective. After the guards underwent special training, they also wiped out several bandits. It can be considered a big change. The recruitment of new soldiers is also very smooth. It's just that … from time to time, some guys with excess energy will make trouble. They even had a conflict with the imperial guards not long ago. "
Chen Rui noticed her tiredness when she came back today, and he hugged her tightly with distress, "I'm sorry, I've troubled you."
Athena shook her head, "I'm very happy to be able to help you. I grew up in the barracks since I was a child, and I like that kind of atmosphere very much."
"Excess energy?" Chen Rui thought for a moment, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to solve it."
"En …" Athena moved comfortably on his chest. There were still many trivial troubles, but as soon as this man came back, it was as if he had a backbone. Those complicated things also became simple.
