At night, the two purple moons hung high in the starry sky, emitting a hazy and soft glow in the clouds.
In the quiet courtyard below, there was a thin mist floating. The source of the mist was a pot on a small stove. Next to the stove was a short table with a set of delicate utensils placed on the small bamboo stand of the table.
A pair of slender jade-like hands skillfully poured the water from the pot into the teapot and small cups on the table. After washing them again, they were poured into the small bamboo stand with the function of absorbing water and disappeared in an instant.
Dozens of light cyan dry leaves were put into a small purple teapot, washed with boiling water, drained, and added water to soak the leaves. A faint fragrance began to fill the air.
The jade-like hands poured the tea from the small teapot into a small purple cup with a cup holder in front of Chen Rui and poured a cup for herself.
Chen Rui picked up the cup, looked at the amber-colored tea, smelled it comfortably, and showed a look of enjoyment. He picked up the teacup, smiled at the veiled face opposite him, took a small sip, and felt the unique fragrance seeping through the tongue straight into the heart and spleen. He nodded approvingly, "Good tea."
This praise made the beautiful blue eyes of the woman opposite him slightly curved, and she was obviously very happy.
When he was about to finish drinking, the woman poured him another cup, about two-thirds of the cup, just in line with what he said, "light tea with wine."
Although Chen Rui was a tea enthusiast in his previous life, he didn't know much due to the limited conditions, and he only knew some superficial things. However, after teaching it to Isabella, whether it was the selection of materials, the use of water, or other steps, they were all done meticulously. Her movements were natural and skillful, and it couldn't be achieved if she didn't spend time and effort practicing.
Chen Rui suddenly felt moved. Such efforts were all for him.
Except for that praise, the two didn't speak again, just quietly tasting the tea.
"Master Aguile, you don't even want to talk to me?" A charming female voice finally sounded. "Even if it's just a few words of blame?"
When Chen Rui heard this title, he smiled bitterly, "How dare I blame you? This time your plan is very successful. Under the triple effect of the situation, force, and interests, Jía has truly controlled the situation."
Catherine's plan was flawless, causing Jía to fall into a dilemma. The solution proposed by Isabella was to seize the time, just like how Jía used the lightning ascension to break Catherine's pressure on the Dark Moon. Before Catherine launched that plan, she would eliminate the obstruction of the elder families and gain real control of the empire. As long as the Fallen Angel Empire truly achieved unity, then Catherine's scruples would be greater, and she would be more afraid to use troops against the Fallen Angel Empire.
The wine cellar of the Mishan Family was destroyed by Isabella. The guard, John, who provided Marlene's information to Zall, was also an insider. Alice and Marlene were naturally caught deliberately. Especially Alice's eyes, she even deliberately played some tricks to cover up the purple eyes characteristics of the royal family until Zall and Lawson led the Mishan Family and the Boll Family into the trap step by step.
The subsequent launch of newspapers and television were Chen Rui's "inventions". The television was something that Chen Rui had been researching long before the Obsidian crusade began. The Demon Realm was not Earth, so the knowledge required was naturally different. Magic was enough to replace things. Chen Rui just proposed a related idea, and it attracted the attention of the 3 masters. Especially the quasi-grand master old man, he was full of praise for this idea. The Demon Realm already had related props such as communication talisman, recording stone, and recording stone, so there was no need to start from scratch. Under the enthusiastic research of the masters, the "magic television" gradually took shape.
After repeated experiments, the magic television was finally successfully manufactured, but it had been put on hold because Obsidian launched a war. After Jía ascended the throne in the capital, she transformed the square and other places and set up a large "magic television". The original plan was to use economic warfare to deal with the elder families, but the arrival of the envoy of the Shadow Empire made this plan be implemented ahead of schedule. In the past few days, Chen Rui did not participate in the plan. Instead, he was busy modifying the magic communication station to receive signals from far away in the Dark Moon and achieve live broadcasts.
The Flame Cup competition was a marketing method. With the "east wind" of the shortage of tickets, the magic television was finally successfully launched.
Compared with the television, the emergence of the newspaper seemed to be more hasty. Like the television program, the content currently published was still quite limited, but this was only the beginning. Jía was preparing to set up a media department to be responsible for the content of the newspaper and television.
The newspaper and television would bring huge benefits which could become a source of interest for Jía to further control the family. More importantly, this powerful force of official public opinion would become a powerful tool to consolidate the reign of the emperor. Jía's oath and decree for the benefit of the people in the second issue of the newspaper alone were already well-known in the shortest time, and there was no falsehood.
Isabella elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip under the veil, "I thought someone would blame me for dragging his innocent and lovely little lover into this turbid vortex."
"I just regard Alice as my sister." Chen Rui shook his head, "But this time …"
"Are you distressed?" Isabella put down the teacup, "You have to figure out 2 things. First, she is the princess of the empire. Second, she is the most suitable lord of the Dark Moon Estate, not Athena."
Chen Rui frowned slightly, "Don't you think it's too early for Alice?"
"Do you want to say that your lovely sister is only 14 years old?" Isabella smiled, "Do you know what I was doing when I was 14 years old?"
"Killing everywhere? Strategizing? "Chen Rui scratched his head.
"You're wrong. When I was 14 years old, I didn't know anything. I only knew to act coquettishly in front of my father, throw a tantrum to my brother, and bully my half-sister. Although the Belphegor Family has a bad habit of valuing men over women, my father and brother loved me very much. They would shoulder everything and protect me with all their strength, not letting me come into contact with danger. Under their care, a willful, arrogant, stupid, and damn girl slowly grew up. "
Isabella smiled, poured the tea again, and took a sip, "Do you know what happened later?"
Chen Rui seemed to have expected what she was going to say, and his mood suddenly became heavy.
Isabella had already continued, "This girl met a man from the human world, and she soon fell into the trap of sweet words. For this man, she did not hesitate to turn against her father and brother who loved her, and turned against her half-sister. She even stole the most important artifact of the family and gave it to this man. After this man got the artifact, he immediately revealed his true colors, abandoned her without hesitation, and disappeared. This girl was homeless and wandered around. Finally, she was found by her brother and brought back to the family. However, when she returned to the family, the family was suffering from a large-scale attack by the enemy royal family. Due to the loss of the Breeze Shadow Boots, the Belphegor Royal Family was almost wiped out in this battle. Even the father and mother who loved the girl the most died in this battle. Her brother, Terstein, desperately took the girl out of the encirclement, but he also suffered a lifelong serious injury. He was even tortured to death by the enemy's soul shackles more than a hundred years later … "
The tea in Isabella's cup had overflowed because of the trembling, but she was still smiling, "The people who shouldn't die the most are dead, and the people who should die the most are still alive. The Demon God is really blind."
That smile made Chen Rui's heart hurt, and he stood up.
"From that moment on, there was only one thing left in my life, hatred. Compared with the hatred for those people, I hated the girl who killed my parents, my brother, and my people the most. I was thinking about how to kill these enemies all the time. For this reason, I didn't hesitate to train between life and death. I didn't hesitate to join the Bloodfall where the enemies were … until I became what I am now. "
Chen Rui finally understood what happened to Isabella back then, and he finally understood why he could feel the unwillingness to die from her.
The calmer her voice was, the more painful the wound in her heart was.
Chen Rui came to her, "You've heard of me, Isabella. You have died once."
"It's useless! Not enough! Not enough! " Isabella stood up abruptly, "For this kind of woman who harms others and herself, it's not enough even if I die a thousand or ten thousand times!"
This seemed to be a fuse. Isabella completely lost her usual calmness and calmness. She grabbed her hair tightly, and all the things that she had suppressed for many years burst out in an instant. Screams and cries rang out in the courtyard, and she completely collapsed.
Chen Rui wanted to go forward to comfort her several times, but he was frantically resisted and even bitten. In the end, Chen Rui, who was stronger, finally hugged her tightly.
After a long time, the cries in the courtyard finally subsided.
After a moment of silence, a hoarse voice sounded, "Chen Rui, take me away from here, go to a place where there are only the two of us. Accompany me for the last two months. I promise you, I will let go of all the past, be your woman wholeheartedly, and give everything to you."
"The last two months?" Chen Rui trembled, and he suddenly realized something.
Isabella gently broke free from his embrace, unbuttoned her shirt, and revealed her snow-white breasts wrapped in a bra. This sexy lace bra could hardly restrain the two plump breasts, and the protruding buds were faintly visible at the end. Although he couldn't see the whole thing, it gave a strong temptation.
The focus of Chen Rui's eyes fell on the left chest that she was pointing at. Near the heart, there was a strange dark golden pattern, which was in the shape of a flower. It seemed to be some kind of mark.
"This was left to me by that person. It will absorb the vitality of the host, and every once in a while, it will break out, and the pain will be unbearable. For two hundred years, I have tried everything I can to remove this mark. Even when I was resurrected last time, the mark still exists. Now … there are only two months left. "
Chen Rui was shocked, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Isabella looked at him tenderly and shook her head gently, "It's useless. I have read countless materials over the years. This is the most stubborn and terrible curse of the Temple of Light. It is called the Seal of Light Annihilation. Even Rolla can't remove it. There are only two ways to remove it, but neither can be done. "
When Chen Rui heard that there was a way, his hope was reignited, "What method? Tell me quickly! "
"The first method is to kill the caster. The second method is to combine magic with medicine, and the most important medicine is the Snow Dallet."
Chen Rui's heart suddenly turned cold. The man must have been in the human world, and the Snow Dallet was a sacred flower unique to the Holy Mountain of Light. No matter which method it was, he must go to the human world.
