At noon the next day, it was already lunch time when Chen Rui returned to his residence.
As usual, Olypheus is engaged in a fierce battle for food with Pagliu and Lomon. My nephew, my classmate, and Uncle Dulong are all nervous people. Although the demigod father of the black dragon chick is watching, he has no intention of giving in. .
Compared with these three foodies, Miss Emerald Dragon Krobelus and Miss Black Dragon Julia's food is considered gentle, but as for the really gentle Delia, there is no comparison at all.
The fierce tableware collision, sharp eye contact, and the sound of chewing seemed to become a symphony on the dining table.
The old god Augustus was drinking on the ground, and he didn't mean to help his daughter. He could tell that Olypheus was very happy and really liked being with these friends.
Of course, Lord Dragon Emperor is a super protective type. The damn Dulong and that Lomon dared to snatch Olyphise's rations.
Olypheus successfully snatched a plate of cabbage, and suddenly thought of something, and handed it to Isabella: "Sister, this is what you like to eat."
A certain demigod father was a little jealous, you know, Olypheus would not spare even the food in front of this father, except for Isabella.
"Thank you, I'll just eat a piece." Isabella forked a piece with a smile, and looked at the puffy mouth of the black dragon girl with some doting, "Eat slowly, Olympias, if Chen Rui comes, I will Let him cook you barbecue."
The black dragon chick nodded her head like a chicken pecking rice, suddenly her eyes lit up, she pointed at the door, and said indistinctly: "The barbecue... is here."
"Look, who did we see?" Luo Meng jumped up: "Isn't that a captain? It didn't show up until four or five days after you came back? Captain, you have worked hard, so you are not afraid of overwork and kidney damage?"
Just as he was speaking, the three dishes in front of him had already been taken away, two of them were Olyphus, and one was of Pagliu—or the Dragon Clan was much better, so let’s grab enough to eat first.
Chen Rui felt the weird gazes from everyone, wishing he could throw a wine bottle at that bastard, bowed slightly to Augustus, smiled and nodded to Delia and Krobelus, and then went straight to Yi In front of Sabella, she held her hand in front of everyone: "Yini, our nephew seems to be a little impolite, and we have to discipline him in a while."
Lomon was immediately deflated. In any case, Isabella was indeed his aunt, and this bastard was indeed his aunt's sweetheart. In fact, the original cause of this matter was his leaked secret.
"It's about being disciplined." My aunt's words about the opposite sex and inhumanity made my nephew almost hide in the corner to draw circles, but soon, he added meaningfully: "But he is right, this You have worked hard in the imperial capital for three days."
Chen Rui heard his aunt's obvious dissatisfaction, and quickly complained. In fact, he had been guarding Tetnis for the past three days, but he went to the palace last night and had a long talk with Her Majesty the Queen all night.
Naturally, Her Majesty the Empress was lying in his arms and talking about it that night, but it was really a serious matter. Although it was a wish to be overworked or something, Her Majesty made it clear, don't think about it before the wedding.
The current economic momentum of the Fallen Angel Empire is very gratifying. Except for the two key territories of Dark Moon and Green Shade, the rest of the large and small territories are also developing rapidly under favorable policies. Families and lords have lost their pockets due to wars and fund-raising. Slowly it began to bulge again, and the life of the people began to improve. More importantly, they could see a bright future, and their loyalty would naturally increase proportionally.
Magic TV and newspapers have been popularized throughout the empire. The sales of magic TV are astonishing. The income from TV and newspaper advertisements has gradually emerged, attracting the attention of many merchants. The specific management, implementation and other matters are in charge of the newly established Media Department. Redotan, the patriarch of the Toro family, served as the minister. What the media brings is not just economic benefits, each territory can hear the voice from the imperial capital in the first place, which plays a good role as a mouthpiece.
Under various comprehensive factors, the cohesion of the imperial capital is increasing day by day, and the position of Xi Ya, the empress, is already unshakable.
Externally, the cooperation with the Shadow Empire was very successful. One of the symbols was the holding of the two countries' fighting ball league, which attracted the attention of fans from all over the devil world, including the fans of the Blood Fiend Empire. The TV will be broadcast live and rebroadcast at a fixed time, which also makes a large number of merchants from the Blood Fiend Empire pour into the Fallen Angel Empire to order magic TV.
The civil strife in the Blood Fiend Empire is still going on, but the second prince Edmund has gradually weakened after losing several battles in a row, but the Iron Fist territory huddled in the north of the Warlock Fortress can't be seen. If there is no accident, the first prince Aliu Adams will win the final victory.
During Catherine's last visit, she intentionally revealed her intention to unite with Shea to deal with the turbulent Blood Fiend Empire, but she diverted the topic away. What the Fallen Angel Empire needs now is not to expand its territory, but to recuperate. , In the end, if you steal a chicken, you won't lose a lot of rice, but you will even lose your money. Judging from the current situation in the Demon Realm, it is more beneficial for the Fallen Angel Empire to maintain a stand-alone situation.
"Huh?" Black Dragon Chick sniffled her nose, "Boss, what did you sprinkle? It smells so good! Barbecue doesn't seem to have this scent before."
Augustus pondered for a moment, then said: "It should be the seed of the blueberry grass, which is a plant of the light system, which is very rare in the devil world."
"It's the bluegrass, the Dragon King is really well-informed." Chen Rui handed the roasted skewers to Oliver.
Olivier took a sip, and burst into tears immediately: "The wife is so delicious! The boss's craftsmanship is the best, and I like it the most! Boss, it's great that you are back!"
Chen Rui smiled slightly, and passed a few more skewers. The black dragon chick almost ate the bamboo sticks. Augustus saw it and took a big gulp of wine.
"It's really fragrant!" A guy who was attracted by the fragrance also said cheekily: "My uncle's craftsmanship is the best, and I like to eat it the most. It's great that you're back, uncle!"
After saying a word, Isabella's ear was lifted by the smiling Isabella, grinning and screaming, but there were a few more skewers of barbecue subsidized by her aunt in her hand.
"Olypheus," Augustus said, "Do you want to let this guy grill meat for you for the rest of your life?"
The black dragon chick was eating well, she had no time to speak, so she nodded quickly.
"Do you want... He will make you whatever you want to eat in the future?"
The black dragon chick then nodded.
"Do you want someone to pay the bill when you go out to eat in the future?"
The black dragon chick nodded vigorously.
"Do you want to use all his money in the future?"
The black dragon chick's eyes turned into $$ shapes, and she nodded desperately.
Augustus nodded conclusively, and said to Chen Rui: "I just said that Oliver has no objection to this marriage, right? Then, it's decided like this."
Chen Rui: ...
Everyone: ...
"Uh... Master Augustus," Chen Rui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said, "I have a few words, and I want to talk to you alone."
"It's just right, I have a few words to say to you." Augustus glanced at everyone, several dragons stood up immediately, and Lomon also took Delia to Anbu to work, only Olivier Silk was still eating, as if undecided.
Isabella came over, wiped the little girl's oily face, and dragged her back to the room.
"Master Augustus, please speak first."
"Hmph, boy, I'm leaving it to you, Olypheus. I must make her happy every day. If you dare to let her be wronged, or you can't replace Isabella as the person she is most attached to in seventy years ,So… "
Chen Rui shrugged: "Destroyed in form and spirit? Disappeared in ashes?"
There was a cold light in Augustus' eyes: "No, I won't kill you, I will let you live well, but I will kill everyone else! Including your beloved woman, your most trusted friend, and even Everyone I know!"
"This trick is really cruel." Chen Rui narrowed his eyes and showed a strange smile: "However, as long as I am fine."
"Don't pretend, my eyes are not blind," Augustus snorted coldly, "If you are such a person, Laura will be devoted to you? Isabella will die for you? Leaving it to you?"
Chen Rui was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Since this is the case, let me say a few words to my lord. I have always regarded Olyphise as my younger sister, and I have no extra thoughts. My lord has also seen it, Ollie Faith is very happy here, and we all regard her as a member of this big family. Even if there is no threat from the adults, I will always take care of her and prevent her from being bullied and wronged. It’s just that what is happening to Faith now? I don’t understand. If she meets someone she really likes in the future, wouldn’t I harm her? I very much hope that I can guard her side as an older brother. If we really have a relationship between a man and a woman in the future , then it will happen naturally, otherwise Olypheus will not be able to obtain true happiness if she is forced to do so."
A cold light flickered in Augusta's eyes: "Are you still prevaricating? I am Augustus, the daughter of Sheila Salomon Klein, and Is this what makes you look down on me?"
"Because I regard Olypheus as the most important partner, I have to be honest with her father, instead of succumbing to the hypocrisy of power and interests." Chen Rui raised his head and looked straight at her without fear. Looking at Augustus, "From the point of view of a wise man, what I did is simply stupid. Yes, as adults can see, I am such a fool."
Augustus looked at Chen Rui for a moment, and suddenly showed approval: "My eyes are not blind."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up: "My lord means..."
"What you said is very good and makes sense."
"So… "
"You and Olypheus get married now! Otherwise I'll take all your women and friends!"
"..."
"Fuck!" Chen Rui couldn't help blurting out, he just felt that his eloquence had never failed like this before, and the plan of delaying the attack had the opposite effect
