Chen Rui learned about the true level of the demigod realm from Laura. In fact, there are many things that Laura did not mention, such as the silver box, but he knew that the silver box must be related to the power of the demigod level, otherwise Pagli Wu will not be sealed by a demigod-level powerhouse. It's just that he understands that Laura didn't do this because he wanted to monopolize it, but because he was too ambitious and couldn't resist the temptation to take a shortcut.
Isabella was sleeping in the fertile realm controlled by the earth elemental king. After receiving the original power of the earth element from the earth elemental king, Laura was eager to study and study. Chen Rui did not stay in Rainbow Valley and returned to the magistrate Residential.
This time, Diudiu was still courteously playing the role of the servant's younger brother in the yard, but the uncle Luo Meng was gone and Athena was replaced.
Athena saw Chen Rui appear, her eyes lit up, and she stood up: "You are back."
"I'm back." Chen Rui's heart felt hot, and he felt that the whole yard became warmer.
Athena came over and hugged Chen Rui with open arms. If it was Ji Ya, she would definitely sniff his nose first to see if there was any other woman on him, but Athena was different, she just hugged him without hesitation.
Diudiu hurriedly covered his eyes, but turned into a second pair of hands, taking the opportunity to keep stuffing food into his mouth, this is something the amoeba has been doing since the beginning of Xilang Mountain.
Feeling the warm and charming body in his arms, Chen Rui felt a pang of guilt in his heart: "I'm sorry."
Athena raised her head, glanced at him, and smiled sweetly: "Don't rush to apologize, Diudiu has performed well recently, give it something small as a reward."
I don’t know if it’s black when you’re close to ink. Diudiu has been in contact with a few dragons for a long time, and he has also acquired a habit of collecting. However, the "treasures" of amoeba are not valuable goods, small crystals, trinkets, plant seeds, empty wine Bottles of all sorts.
Chen Rui heard what Athena had said, and it was hard work for Diudiu to play him often, so he immediately took out some fruits and a useless ring, and threw them at Diudiu. The amoeba jumped up eagerly, caught these things, and hopped to the corner behind the yard to enjoy them.
Athena yawned, and said with a tired face: "I've been exhausted during this period, and I can't breathe from the busy affairs every day. I didn't know how hard it is to be a lord. I really don't know that the eldest princess... Her Majesty is How did you get here, and it was still in such a difficult environment at that time. I don’t know how long this acting lord will last, and I really miss the life in the military camp before.”
"Thank you, my Lord Athena." Chen Rui bent down, "Come on, carry you upstairs to rest for a while."
Athena pursed her lips and smiled, lay on his back, put her arms around his neck, Chen Rui carried Athena on her back, and walked upstairs.
Athena gently closed her eyes, and pressed her face against his back. In an instant, both of them had a feeling, as if they had returned to the tranquility and warmth at the beginning, and they only hoped that the journey would be as long as possible.
"Hey, Captain, why are you carrying Athena on your back... circling around in the corridor? Is it a convulsion?" A discordant voice broke the atmosphere, and Athena opened her eyes.
Seeing the flaming eyes of the captain and future aunt, the cheap nephew felt guilty, and the "Shining" talent was fully activated, and it disappeared in an instant.
"The bastard! Sneak fast!"
Chen Rui cursed silently, and Athena grinned: "Go back to your room, General... Uh, Lord Lord, please take a good rest."
Chen Rui carried Athena to the room and put her on the bed, Athena stretched a lot: "It's still comfortable at home, I'm not used to living in the palace."
Chen Rui sat on the bed, let her head rest on her lap, and patiently listened to her telling about the troublesome things about being a lord. Athena complained and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm done talking, you started to seem What do you want to tell me?"
Looking at Athena's bright red eyes, Chen Rui felt ashamed, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "It's about...Isabella, I want to go to the sea of death with the earth elemental king."
Athena pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Okay, since you have already decided."
"Ah?" Chen Rui was taken aback, "You know?"
"It's just a small part, do you know why I asked you to reward Diu Diu?"
Chen Rui finally reacted: Diudiu! This abominable amoeba was curled up in a corner and pretended to enjoy the fruit, but it had its ears pricked up (if it had this part) to eavesdrop on the conversation between him and Lomon, and then flatteringly reported it to the mistress!
"I'm sorry." Chen Rui lowered his head. Athena was his first lover, and his relationship was much deeper than that of the first woman, Her Majesty the Queen. He "provoked" Ji Ya, Shia, Laura one after another, and now there is another Isabella. In Chen Rui's mind, Athena was the one who was most sorry.
"I knew that secret couldn't be kept for too long." Athena smiled a bit more reluctantly, "Delia asked me to pay attention to Isabella early in the morning, but unexpectedly she found her 'Charles'."
Chen Rui said bitterly: "At first, Isabella didn't know that it was that fellow Lomon who betrayed me!"
"Is it just like this? And now? Why are you going to the sea of death?" Athena looked directly at him, and Chen Rui didn't dare to look her in the eyes for a while, "My father is quite clean, and there are more than ten wife. You now have me, Ji Ya, Laura, and the sister of Her Majesty Shia and the secret lover of the Shadow Empire. Even if Isabella is added, there are only seven, which is not many. Originally, I I thought I should be able to accept it, but when I heard this incident, I still felt blocked... You know, I’m not good at covering up, I just say what I have.”
Chen Rui didn't explain that Alice was a non-staff member, but just stroked her red hair and said guiltily: "I understand, this is my Athena."
Athena sighed: "However, after you came to the house with me, I don't know why, but I didn't feel so wronged. In fact, Isabella's personality is similar to mine in some ways, and they are both strong. At the last moment, she won't reveal her sincerity, especially since she died once... Do you remember what happened when we were in Xilang Mountain?"
"I remember, I will remember it for the rest of my life." Chen Rui trembled slightly, as if he had returned to Athena's confession of life and death when she was facing the invincible and powerful enemy Grofin.
However, I still love you, not like, but love.
Chen Rui leaned over and kissed her forehead: "Athena, I promise, this is the last time, and I will never let you be wronged again."
"If one day you return to the human world, there will be your relatives and your women..."
"You don't have to worry about this." Chen Rui shook his head, showing a determined expression: "My relatives are here, and I will never leave you."
Athena stood up from his arms, suddenly pursed her lips, and took out a dagger. Chen Rui was taken aback, and immediately recognized it as the first dagger he gave Athena back then. At that time, his metal proficiency was still very poor, but this dagger was always treasured by her.
"Wrist out."
"Do you want to be punished by bloodletting?" Chen Rui stretched out his hand with a wry smile.
"Do you know what I asked you to make the dagger for?"
Chen Rui shook his head to express his ignorance, Athena's face rose with a touch of blush: "You will know soon... Although I did not become your first woman, at least I was ahead of our Queen, and now I am still waiting for you." There's one thing to get ahead of her."
Saying that, Athena cut a knife on Chen Rui's right wrist. The knife was not deep. When Chen Rui deliberately put away the passive attribute, blood slowly flowed out, and then Athena cut the knife on her left wrist. A wound was cut, and the two wrists were folded, held high, and the blood fused together.
"There are many wedding ceremonies in the devil world, and this is just the simplest and most direct one." Athena looked at him seriously, "Chen Rui, would you like to spend this life with the woman in front of you who is mingled with each other's blood? Be with her until death?"
Chen Rui was startled, and a strong sense of happiness surged up: "I am willing."
"I am Athena. Wells is willing to accompany this man for the rest of his life, until the end of his life." Athena's face was blushing with excitement and shyness, "Then, from the moment our blood blends, I am you Official wife."
"You're wrong," Chen Rui shook his head: "Do you still remember the vow I made when I came back from the imperial capital and gave you the ring? No matter poverty, disease or death, we will cuddle up to each other and get through it together. Since then, You are already my official wife and the first one. In the future, I will hold a grand wedding and make you the most beautiful bride."
Athena's ruby-like eyes were sparkling, and she threw herself into his arms.
"You have to accompany me alone tonight, don't add that little witch, Ji Ya."
"Of course, according to the rules of my hometown, tonight is our bridal chamber wedding night, which only belongs to the two of us."
"I'm already your first legal wife. Even if you become His Royal Highness in the future, you can't change it."
(It turns out... It is related to the seating chart of the Crystal Palace. Even Athena is not exempt, and there is such a small calculation.)
"kindness."
"If you dare to provoke women outside again, don't blame me, a little wife."
(turn out to be… )
"Ah? Got it... Whoops!"
"What do you want to do?"
"My wife, don't you need to fulfill some kind of obligation?"
"Put away your anxious paws first, and tell me about Isabella and the Sea of Death."
"..."
Naturally, Chen Rui would not do such a stupid thing as praising another woman in front of a woman. He mainly described Isabella's tragic experience in detail, which made Athena feel great compassion. Not only that, Chen Rui expanded the goal of going to the Sea of Death to find materials to help Guladam advance and restore the ancient alchemy castle, and also took out the mysterious treasure map.
Athena leaned into his arms while listening, allowing his hands to take advantage more and more boldly. Chen Rui's actions fully verified that "every man has a pair of hands that are understanding". Yes, Luo Shan was half relieved, and the acting lord, who hadn't been nourished by the man he loved for a while, had a red tide of emotion on his face, and his breathing became short of breath.
At this moment, the treasure map thrown aside gave off a strange light, as if inspired by some kind of power, Chen Rui was startled, this was something that had never happened before, even the distraught Asi Na also noticed the abnormality, showing surprise.
"Is the treasure map a color map, related to the wonderful things we are going to do next?"
Papa papa treasure map? Chen Rui thought of a wretched possibility. His wretched hand was groping forward towards the spring-flooded valley of the beautiful lord, but Athena held it down.
"Wait!" Athena bit her lip and pinched him, "This wave is coming from outside, go and have a look first!"
This pinch took a little force, and Chen Rui's integrity value finally picked up a little bit. As expected, he felt that the source of the fluctuation was outside. Diu held something high and cheered.
Surprised, Chen Rui came to the bed, picked up the treasure map, and whispered in the ear of the female lord: "I'll be right back, don't wear clothes!"
When he came to the yard, he could only hear the amoeba laughing triumphantly: "Master Diudiu is amazing, finally found a top-quality treasure!"
Chen Rui walked over and saw that Diudiu was holding up a pair of glasses in his hands. With purple lenses, fine textures appeared on the silver frame, and there was a scorching halo. The fluctuation of the treasure map was transmitted from the glasses. .
"Du Diu!"
The voice of the master startled the amoeba, and for some reason, the glasses instantly turned into a ring, which was hidden behind him, and he showed a guilty and flattering smile: "Master."
Chen Rui gritted his teeth and walked towards Diudiu step by step: "I can't tell, but you are a good whistleblower!"
The amoeba hit the nail on the head, and immediately turned into a mournful expression: "Master, it's not my fault, I was forced by the mistress..."
"Hmph! Athena doesn't know about Isabella at all. It's clear that you took the initiative to inform me and defraud me of my reward. I'll settle this matter with you later! Show me those glasses first!"
"Master! This is Diu Diu's treasure for many years! It was finally stolen from a ferocious monster..." the amoeba wailed, trying to make the last effort.
The corners of Chen Rui's eyes twitched, and veins began to emerge on his temples—a treasure for many years? Untold hardships? Ferocious Warcraft
Nima! This is clearly the "reward" that the amoeba cheated from him earlier, that "useless" ring!
Damn amoeba!
Speaking of this ring, it actually has a lot of origins. It was a gift that was forcibly given to Luo Meng when he first met Luo Meng when he was a mining officer in Xilang Mountain.
The name of this ring is Zi Yanxin, and there is another name, which was given by the unscrupulous nephew who was accused by that wife, it is called "Passion Ring"!
