Even in the sealed state, Pagliu is far from being able to match Athena's level, so Athena can't show her strength in front of the poisonous dragon. However, facing Gang Ke, the great sword immediately displayed astonishing power.
Athena slashed down with a sword again, this time with the blade, sparks splashed everywhere, Gang Ke's hammer was split into two, and his feet sank a little bit, Athena's strength was controlled quite precisely , after breaking off the hammer, the great sword just rested on top of the Horned Demon's head.
Chen Rui hurried to Alice and explained in a low voice, then handed a basket to little Lori.
"Go away, you little brat, call that coward Allen out!" Athena was not stupid, and immediately guessed the messenger behind Gangk, and slowly withdrew the sword.
Gang Ke felt the terrifying murderous intent leaving from the top of his head, and his brow was covered with cold sweat. He knew that Athena had shown mercy, otherwise the terrifying sword just now would not only cut off the hammer. When they were in a stalemate, they suddenly heard a loud shout: "Stop!"
It was Chen Rui who made the sound, and the human pointed at Gangke and said loudly: "Gangke, you are so brave, you dare to attack Lady Athena! Her Royal Highness Alice is a princess, and you gave orders before you even spoke. Is there a little princess, a long princess, and the Lucifer royal family?"
"I didn't!" When Gangke heard Chen Rui say that he had attacked Athena, he became anxious all of a sudden. Athena was obviously the first to attack, so he quickly defended himself loudly, just as Chen Rui mentioned the royal family of Lucifer.
There was an eerie silence in the audience, only the voice of Alice "stumbling" gnawing on the dragon fruit, and said indistinctly: "Are you attacking Athena? Do you have this princess and sister in your eyes! "
"I don't! I have! I, I, I..." Gangke was taken aback, and he felt that the answer was yes or no, and he couldn't argue for a while, "Little princess, this human being is too cunning, don't believe his words!"
"This human being is indeed cunning," Alice nodded, and just as Gangke was delighted, Little Loli pointed at Chen Rui with the finger of Bilongguo, and changed her tone, "But he is more reasonable than you. "
I don't know if the words make sense or the green dragon fruit makes sense. Chen Rui seemed to think of the corrupt officials in a certain joke. No matter what, it seems that preparing the green dragon fruit for Alice in advance is the wisest move.
"Chen Rui, for the sake of collecting herbs and not forgetting to pick fruits for this princess, this princess will forgive you this time." Alice looked at Gang Ke who was sweating profusely, "Big man, Don't be stupid, go and tell Allen that if you want to kill people with the help of this princess, you must be more reasonable than others."
More "reasonable"? This is Chi Guoguo's extortion for bribes! It seems that this little loli knows everything, and she made it clear that she was deliberately making trouble for no reason. Seeing that Alice did not pursue the case, Gang Ke hurriedly retreated with the soldiers as if he was being amnesty. Chen Rui lamented that the Demon Realm was still relatively simple. If it was changed to the ancient times of his previous world, it would not be impossible for Gangke to make a lot of money with a big hat on the top line.
"Let's go, Athena." Alice took Athena's arm affectionately, as if she had never been angry.
"Didn't Her Royal Highness blame me for going out to play secretly?" Athena deliberately shook off Alice, with a displeased expression on her face, and Ji Ya, who was on the side, smiled with her lips pursed.
Alice is worthy of being a black-bellied person who can bend and stretch. She whispered to Athena for a while with a smile on her face, and then made a joke with laughter. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace, the two had returned to their sisterly intimacy. Alice heard Athena say that she had brought back some prey, and thinking of the scene of the last picnic, Alice couldn't help salivating, and looked at Chen Rui with a smile.
Chen Rui only felt that under that kind of gaze, he seemed to have become some kind of roasted meat on an iron braze, and said quickly: "This time there is a new way of eating, compared with roasted meat, it has a different flavor, but I don't know Is the little princess afraid of spicy food?"
"It's really as delicious as barbecue?" Little Lolita asked in a low voice, and after receiving the assurance of human Athena's chest slapping, the volume suddenly increased: "The word "fear" has never been in the dictionary of the royal family of Lucifer. I, Alice. Lucifer, fear nothing!"
Seeing the little princess's impassioned and righteous words, the guards of the palace all cast admiring eyes. They all stood up straight, proud of being a soldier of the Lucifer royal family, and had no idea that the real purpose of little Lolita's bold words was to eat drink.
Enjoying the admiration of everyone, Alice walked towards Aldas' laboratory fearlessly.
When he came to the laboratory, Sly saw the three of them and hurried to meet them. Chen Rui learned from Sli that Master Ardas was in a hurry and went to the palace to discuss matters with Princess Xiya.
With the help of the little ghoul, Chen Rui started to get busy, and Ji Ya and Athena also helped from time to time, but Athena lacked talent in this area, and most of the help was a disservice. Alice was bored waiting, so she picked up the independent diamond chess that Aldas left on the table and played. Chen Rui reckoned that this exquisite new set of chess could not escape her clutches, and a certain master could only go to the corner to draw circles again.
After a long time, Chen Rui was finally done.
Alice, who had been sniffing at the scent in the air, stared at the strange big basin on the table with a flame burning underneath, and asked curiously, "It smells so good! What is this?"
"This is called hot pot. Come on, try it." Chen Rui said, asking Sli to take out the tableware and distribute it to everyone, put the sliced meat into the pot, and add some auxiliary side dishes. After the last barbecue, he already knew some condiments commonly used in the devil world, thanks to Alice, a glutton, who brought them all. Although the ingredients and condiments here are not as rich as in Chen Rui's previous life, there are several unique spices that are not available in that world, and they are more than enough to handle some home-cooked dishes.
Following Chen Rui's example, Alice wanted to pick up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, but she couldn't use Chen Rui's homemade chopsticks anyway, so she just scooped out the soup with a spoon and put it in her mouth.
"Wow, it's so hot! It's so spicy!" Alice yelled exaggeratedly, but the movements of her hands became faster and faster. Soon, not only little Lori, but also Athena and Ji Ya fell in love with the new thing of hot pot.
"Don't be busy, you can continue to add vegetables and eat while boiling." Chen Rui handed the lettuce to Alice, saw the little ghoul standing respectfully while drooling, and said, "Sally, what are you doing, come and eat! "
"Sli can eat?" Sli almost thought he had heard it wrong, and it took him a long time to realize it. When he recalled the bullying he had suffered since he was a child, his small eyes suddenly filled with tears—God, what a great person this is. And benevolent master, it is simply a gift from the Demon God! Even without that contract, Sly would not have betrayed his master! Unless... there are a hundred black crystal coins in front of you! No, two hundred pieces!
Chen Rui didn't have Alice's "mind-reading skills", how could he know the bargaining chip struggle in the heart of the little villain, and added an order for this new servant, anyway, he needed both sticks and carrots. The evil devil doubled the chips for betraying its master to four hundred.
The deep-rooted concept of the lower class made Sli dare not eat at the same table with a royal family like Alice. He took some bowls and sat in a corner to eat. He thought it was the most delicious thing he had ever eaten in his life.
After the turbulent meal, Alice touched her chubby belly with satisfaction, and looked at Chen Rui approvingly: "Chen Rui, you are very good. I have decided that you will be the favorite of this princess from now on!"
This cadenced voice echoed in the laboratory, shaking the favored minister's head with black lines, and the servant who gave birth to the favored minister still looked envious.
Fortunately, it's not the male favorite I mentioned last time. It's a word difference, thousands of miles away.
Having said that, if you really dare to be Alice's male favourite, you will be promoted to the eunuch's official by His Highness the Eldest Princess immediately.
"This is a great honor." Alice counted with her fingers: "The favorite minister is the close minister of this princess. Every day, he has to tell stories and make delicious food. Half of the magic crystal coins he usually earns must be handed over to the princess. The princess goes out to eat. And you have to pay the bills.”
Isn't this worse than being a servant? Chen Rui broke out in a cold sweat, and shook his head decisively: I have always been upright and upright, and I have never followed others, so I should give this great honor to others.
Athena saw with her own eyes that Chen Rui put the "antidote" fake seasoning into the hot pot, Alice really did not doubt it, and she and Ji Ya ate a lot, she finally let go, secretly admired the wit of human friends, He said, "Alice, stop making trouble, the hot pot has already been eaten, let's go back early."
"Why do I always feel that you are speaking for this guy?" Alice glanced at Athena suspiciously, then at Chen Rui, "By the way, at the gate of the city, you seemed to have said that a certain human was your friend ?”
Athena's face turned hot, and she admitted it openly: "Yes, although I haven't known each other for a long time, I think Chen Rui is a worthwhile friend, much better than that insidious and cowardly guy Allen! "
"Chen Rui can tell stories, and he can make fun and delicious food." Alice tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Since he is Athena's friend, he can barely be considered Alice's friend..."
Chen Rui felt powerless for Alice's criteria for choosing friends. Alice walked over and patted Chen Rui on the shoulder, with the attitude of a big sister in the club: "If someone bullies you in the future, you will report the name of the princess. No one will." Dare to touch you. Of course, except that this princess bullies you... "
At this moment, the figure of Ardas appeared at the door of the laboratory.
"Master!" Chen Rui stepped forward, "Come, try this new flavor."
Uncharacteristically, the dark elf master shook his head and did not speak. Only then did Chen Rui notice that there was an unprecedented gloomyness and heaviness on Aldas's gloomy face.
