Although Chen Rui was annoyed, < Analytical Eyes > showed that Jía's strength was "Unable to Judge". She was at least a powerhouse at Joseph's level. Since he was under someone else's roof, he had to lower his head.
"Sister …" Alice trembled. Her big eyes flashed with a pitiful light. "Don't be so cruel, okay? This is the result of my hard work … Leave half of the vine stones for me. Also, the wyvern, I haven't played with it yet … "
"8 vine stones, 400 black crystal coins!" Jía not only didn't agree, but she continued to reduce the little loli's pitiful remaining part instead.
"Sob sob, am I picked up by Sir Dad from the black rainforest instead of your sister?"
"7 vine stones, 300 black crystal coins!"
"That's too much! I only want 50 vine stones, okay?! "
"6 vine stones and 200 black crystal coins!"
"…"
Facing her ruthless sister, the little loli's moves of pretending to be pitiful and cute were completely ineffective. In the end, she had to accept the conditions of 6 vine stones and 200 black crystal coins dejectedly.
Chen Rui felt indignant for Alice: It seems that "accumulating wealth" is the strongest bloodline power of the Lucifer Family. Each is more ruthless than the other!
"Okay, Alice, you go and rest. I still have something to say to Chen Rui."
It seemed that Jía called Alice to snatch the fruits of her sister's labor. The little loli turned around and left listlessly. Jía suddenly added, "You remember, next time, you must never take the risk yourself!"
The little loli responded with a "Hmph" and left the council hall without looking back.
"Letting Alice fight in the second match … is your idea right?" Jía's cold voice sounded in Chen Rui's ear.
"This is the last time, no matter what your purpose is." Jía's voice became colder and colder. "Alice is a very kind and sensible girl. I will never allow you to use her to complete anything! Do you hear me? "
Chen Rui lowered his head and despised her in his heart. What a good sister. She just greedily snatched Alice's property, and now she's pretending to protect her sister? In the past, he still had a little … subtle feeling towards Jía, but now, all that was left was contempt.
Chen Rui couldn't help but get angry at the thought of losing so much spiritual energy. He retorted coldly, "I just want to help the little princess win the competition. I don't have any ulterior motives. But since Princess Royal is so concerned about your sister, why did you do that just now? "
Jía's eyes flashed with surprise. She seemed to be surprised that Chen Rui spoke angrily for Alice. She suddenly sighed, and then her tone became low.
"You don't understand. Alice … she did it on purpose."
"Every time she makes some money, she deliberately shows off in front of me, and then … deliberately let me confiscate it." Jía slowly turned around. "This is her way of helping me, her sister. As an incompetent sister, I can't do anything for her …"
Chen Rui was stunned for a while. He never thought that the little loli loved money as much as her life. It turned out to be for this purpose! The weird little shop, the annual Sky Battle, the two vine stones that were given to him … Chen Rui suddenly understood a lot.
As Jía said, she was very kind and sensible. Perhaps this was the hidden attribute under the little loli's black-bellied, precocious, and greedy face.
Jía was silent for a long time, then her voice sounded again, "Alice … is very close to you."
This Chen Rui didn't feel particularly surprised. Delicious food, fun, and stories to listen to. Where can I find such a "favorite"?
"This is not an ordinary closeness. Except for Athena, no one can make her like this …" Jía suddenly turned back, and her purple eyes instantly turned cold white. "I warn you, the trick you used in front of me last time must not be used on Alice. Otherwise, no matter how valuable you are, I will kill you without hesitation!"
Seduce little loli? This is too unjust! I'm not a weird uncle! However, if it's another two years …
Chen Rui felt the undisguised murderous intention. He was secretly shocked, then he shook his head without hesitation, "I can swear that I have absolutely no bad intention for little princess. If there is any falsehood in this sentence, I am willing to accept Princess Royal's punishment immediately! If Princess Royal is still worried, I will cut off all contacts with little princess from tomorrow onwards! "
Jía looked at him for a moment and finally nodded with approval, "No need. I can see that Alice is very happy with you. Before Athena came, she didn't even have a friend. Now … let her be happy as much as possible."
"Understood, Princess Royal." After the misunderstanding between the two sides was resolved, Chen Rui's mood became a lot better for no reason.
"That's all for Alice's matter. Now, shouldn't you explain the mystery of the third battle?" Jía sat down. "If I didn't know that you were the one who planned this battle behind the scenes, I would also be like Joseph, thinking that the wyvern's match was just an accident. Can you dispel this doubt for me? "
Chen Rui didn't expect Jía to see the problem so quickly, but Alice, Athena and Aldas would also ask this question, so he had already prepared the answer.
"Princess Jía, I originally wanted to report this to you." Chen Rui thought for a moment and replied, "In fact, just yesterday, the grand master's inheritance awakened a little, and I got a new ability."
Now that he thought about it, the lie of the grand master's inheritance was definitely prophetic. It was just used to cover up some changes brought by the Super System.
Jía was slightly moved. Chen Rui continued, "This ability is beast-taming. I can have some simple communication with demonic beasts. If not, how can I have the courage to approach the wyvern?"
"Sure enough! It turns out that all of this … including Eren being attacked in the air, are your means. This kind of wisdom is really admirable. " Jía suddenly realized, "So, is the vine stone you need related to the grand master's inheritance?"
Chen Rui secretly praised her quick thinking and said, "The last time I went to the little princess' shop, I accidentally found that the power of inheritance reacted to the vine stone. The little princess gave me two pieces. Later, the power of the vine stone was automatically absorbed, and the grand master's inheritance was awakened a little. It's just that the awakened power is very unstable, and the beast-taming skill can be used for a short time. So, I need more vine stones to enhance and stabilize this newly acquired ability. "
Chen Rui thought that this excuse was quite perfect. Since Jía needed his value, then she would at least provide some vine stones.
By now, Jía had completely believed in the grand master's inheritance and began to think seriously. The beast-taming ability was not trivial, and it could work on a beast like the wyvern. If it could be used properly, it would be an unexpected power. What was even more noticeable was that it was only a small part of the grand master's inheritance. If in the future …
"I can supply you with a lot of vine stones," Jía said as expected. "It's just that I have a feeling that with your potential, you may not be able to control it in the future … If the imp didn't sign a master-servant contract with you, I would like to …"
Want? In your dreams! Chen Rui sneered, "Princess Royal can also choose to kill the imp, make the contract invalid, and then force me to become your contract servant."
Chen Rui already knew that the power of the contract was very wonderful. The average person could only carry one copy, but his body was very strange. Perhaps it was because of the Super System, in addition to the symbiotic contract with Paglio, he also signed a master-servant contract with Slee. There was no conflict between the two.
Now, he was no longer a weakling who could be trampled on by others. If the worst situation really happened, it was still feasible to feign civility and delay for a while, then escape.
Jía's eyes flashed, "Do you think I should do this?"
"Princess Royal Highness really decided to do that?" Chen Rui asked noncommittally, "Why didn't you force Master Aldas to sign a master-servant contract back then?"
Jía understood the meaning of this sentence, and she was silent.
"Although the power of the contract is powerful, it can't limit the power that reaches a certain level, such as Demi-God or God-level. Once the grand master's inheritance is fully awakened, the power of the contract may not be able to restrain you. Or should I believe some of the excuses you said in the garden last time? " Jía's eyes once again looked directly at Chen Rui's face, "This is the reason I found for myself. I don't know what you think?"
"Princess Royal still doubts that it's my excuse? I admit that I once had some thoughts that I shouldn't have, but I didn't have too many delusions. I just wanted to stay. It was like this at that time, it is still like this now … In the future, I hope it will still be like this. "Chen Rui thought of the beautiful misunderstanding, and he became calmer. He calmly looked at Jía.
Instead, it was Jía who looked away first, "Really?"
"Yes, but the current situation of the Dark Moon is not optimistic. If Princess Royal believes in the wrong person, it may have unexpected consequences."
Jía felt that this kind of dialogue was very subtle. The person who wanted to do it gave himself an excuse not to do it, and the person who didn't want to do it was giving the other person a reason to do it. This might also be a test in a sense.
After a long time, her eyes finally became firm, "It's better to believe in the wrong person than not to believe. Be bold and fight. Maybe you can still see hope in adversity … I intend to appoint you as a secretary. I don't know if you are willing to accept it? "
Secretary? Male secretary? It's better than the master-servant contract. It seems that Jía has decided to officially pull me into the core camp of the Dark Moon.
Athena, Alice, Aldas … and Paglio are also here … Since I have already established my foothold here, and the poison dragon's seal is still unsolved, I can only settle down in the Dark Moon. The more stable and stronger the Dark Moon is, the safer I will be.
Chen Rui knew that since Jía said this, there was no other choice except to turn hostile. He immediately bowed and said, "I'm willing to serve Your Royal Highness. Time and facts will prove that Your Royal Highness' decision today is correct."
"Very good. You've worked hard in the competition today. Go back and rest early. From tomorrow onwards, report to the council hall once every morning. Gauss will tell you what to do. " Jía nodded with satisfaction, "And I hope that you can give me some useful suggestions at some important moments."
Chen Rui understood that this secretary was probably equivalent to the duties of a clerk. Judging from Jía's attitude, she also hoped that he would act as an invisible advisor.
An alternate world's military counselor? Chen Rui scratched his head. Just as he wanted to ask a few questions about holidays and treatment, he heard Jía said, "When the vine stones of the Red Spirit Estate arrive at the palace, I will give you 60 pieces. If it's not enough, tell me again."
60 pieces? This is the highest quality vine stone. I'm afraid that one piece will cost hundreds of black crystal coins! The aura that he thought was lost was recovered. Chen Rui's eyes instantly became bright. He didn't care about the treatment anymore. He just felt that this sentence was the most touching sentence that Princess Royal Highness had ever said.
