Chapter 436 My belief, your pain, the highest state of duplicity
Ren Zhong started to become gregarious.
Ju Qingmeng was very pleased.
For a long time in the past, Ren Zhong has been trying to change Ju Qingmeng's understanding of love.
He wanted to teach Ju Qingmeng what it means to be possessive and what it means to stay together until death.
But no matter how hard he tried, he suffered a shameful failure.
Especially as the days passed and Ju Qingmeng's lower abdomen became flat, instead of possessiveness emerging in her heart as Ren Zhong expected, she only gradually felt a growing sense of guilt and shame.
It is said that one's nature is hard to change, but Ju Qingmeng is, after all, a very independent person. His outlook on life, values and worldview are all based on the existing social atmosphere on the Source Star.
Ren Zhong failed to complete the complete transformation of Yuanxing society, so naturally he could not change Ju Qingmeng's obsession...
Over the past few years, Ren Zhong has been pursuing the exclusive love he had longed for since childhood, but Ju Qingmeng has been living in trouble and self-blame for a long time.
These things were learned when Ren Zhong and Ju Qingmeng had a conversation in the room.
Half an hour ago, Ren Zhong returned to his villa and met Ju Qingmeng in the living room who returned excitedly after hearing the news.
At that time, Ren Zhong was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, staring into the distance.
I don't know when he started to develop a habit.
Whenever he feels uneasy for some reason, he needs to stand on a high place and look at the prosperous scene he has created with his own hands.
Nearly five years have passed, but Ren Zhong still vividly remembers the desolate and desolate scene he saw when he first arrived in Xinghuo Town.
This is because at that time, his understanding of human settlements was still at the level of prosperous domestic towns in the 21st century. When he first arrived in Spark Town, it was as if he had stepped back from the 21st century to the liberation of steampunk style. The smell of the former enemy-occupied areas had a huge impact on him.
Up to now, Ren Zhong's footprints have spread all over the Origin Star, and he has seen with his own eyes many places that are not even as good as the original Star Fire Town. But the one that left the deepest impression on him was the not-so-beautiful Star Fire Town. "First Love".
Looking at the metropolis now called Xinghuo Town, which is actually Xinghuo City, Ren Zhong compared the colorful high-rise buildings full of technology with the shantytowns in his memory, and also compared the light anti-gravity tablets on the streets. The children in Shuttle are compared with the wandering orphans in the memory who are skinny and naked.
Farther away, one large airship after another slowly lifted off from the industrial area and flew into the distance.
The trade system established around the Spark Coin has now enveloped all the counties and towns in the First Continent.
With the support of this fairer and greater trade system, there are almost no barren tribes left in the First Continent today.
Given the choice, no one wants to live alone in the presence of beasts and night slumbers.
Ren Zhong failed to change the entire Origin Star, but at least he changed the first continent.
Such a grand scene reminded him that although he had done many things that violated his principles, if his purpose and original intention did not change and he still fought to protect the peace and prosperity below, it would be worth it.
Ju Qingmeng walked up to him and gently held his arm. He didn't say anything and just put his head on his shoulder.
Feeling the warmth and softness on his side, Ren Zhong moved his lips slightly and hesitated to speak, but he didn't open his mouth either.
In fact, with his rich experience now, he should have turned into a cold-blooded emperor who would not easily have any emotional fluctuations after dying again and again.
But due to his deliberate efforts, this never happened.
The legacy left by the responsibilities of the 21st century continues to influence him and influence his mood.
This is wealth, but it is also a flaw.
After a long time, Ren Zhong sighed lightly and said to Ju Qingmeng beside him: "Sorry, I have to break my promise."
Ju Qingmeng shook his head and said: "If you are talking about the fact that you are about to marry Ma Xiaoling, then I don't think you need to apologize. On the contrary, I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I even dreamed about it. One day, you know?”
As he spoke, Ju Qingmeng's body began to tremble slightly.
Ren Zhong turned his head and saw that Ju Qingmeng's face was already covered with two traces of tears.
Ren Zhong sighed deeply in his heart.
He finally understood Ju Qingmeng's mental state on a deeper level.
For a long time in the past, he had deliberately ignored it.
Beside him, Ju Qingmeng began to choke again and said: "It's been almost five years. Really, I have been waiting for today for almost five years. I have always blamed myself and felt ashamed. I even sometimes think, if I had waited Don't promise you, maybe you will find someone else, maybe you will have a group of wives and concubines like other high-class citizens and powerful barbarians early on. If people like you are really cut off because of me, I will Think that I am a sinner of history. I..."
Ju Qingmeng said a lot in one breath.
Ren Zhong just nodded and listened.
He felt sad and felt that what he had done was indeed wrong.
In order to stick to his beliefs, he forced Ju Qingmeng to bear too much psychological pressure, which even turned into pain.
But for a long time, in order not to bother herself, she only asked a few tentative questions in the early stages. After confirming Ren Zhong's "distorted" view of love, Ju Qingmeng stopped trying and secretly hid the pain in her heart. Until now, when Ren Zhong opened the gap by himself, I bravely spoke out.
Ren Zhong hugged her tightly.
He thought that when he first met Ju Qingmeng, she was exiled to Xinghuo Town because she rejected Wang Jinshou.
At that time, Ren Zhong once thought that she had the same view of love as him.
But later he found out he was wrong.
After all, Ju Qingmeng's understanding of love is different from that of a person in the 21st century.
When he discovered this, the first thing he did was not to change himself, but to try to change Ju Qingmeng.
After the failure, he did not continue to try, but let time pass by little by little.
Only now did Ren Zhong finally understand how much trouble he had caused to Ju Qingmeng.
He hugged Ju Qingmeng tightly with his backhand.
After a long time, he finally said slowly: "I'm sorry."
Ju Qingmeng shook his head again, "I said, you don't need to apologize for this kind of thing. I'm happy now."
Ren Zhong: "I'm not apologizing to you for marrying Ma Xiaoling. In a sense, I'm apologizing for the pain my selfishness has caused you. As for the heir, I don't blame you, it's mine. Question. All I can say is, let everything take its course."
Ju Qingmeng gradually stopped crying and only said softly, "I understand."
"Well, in a few days, the development of the group will stabilize. Why don't you freeze and sleep as soon as possible? I will freeze too. We have to go to the empire to see it after all."
Ju Qingmeng calmed down and asked: "What about the others?"
Ren Zhong: "Everyone who should go will go. As for those who stay on the Source Star... we will naturally make arrangements."
"Ah That's good."
"So, I'm going to find Ma Xiaoling?"
"Go ahead and change into better clothes?"
Ren Zhong shook his head, "No, I'll wear the Chifeng armor to find her. I'm afraid I'll have to fight."
Ju Qingmeng covered her mouth and smiled, "It's her style, you have to win her."
When Ren Zhong was putting on the Chifeng armor piece by piece, Ju Qingmeng habitually helped him do a pre-check of the equipment, and at the same time ordered: "She has improved a lot in the past two days, so you have to be careful."
Ren Zhong hummed and said with a smile: "It's okay, even if she improves ten times, she is still no match for me."
After saying that, he waved to Ju Qingmeng, jumped out of the window, and rushed towards the outside of Xinghuo Town.
Ten minutes later, he appeared near the ruins of the abandoned mine.
At this time, Ma Xiaoling, who was dressed in silver armor, was sitting on a rock with his hands on his knees, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ren Zhong adjusted the performance of Chifeng Armor's concealment device to the highest level, approaching slowly like a wisp of breeze.
Ma Xiaoling's expression on the stone platform changed rapidly, sometimes sweet, sometimes nervous, sometimes distressed, sometimes entangled.
Suddenly, she turned her eyes and looked at the flat ground under the stone. She gritted her teeth and said, "When you come, just come out openly. What are you doing sneakily? If you tell me, you won't lose the face of your big boss Ren?"
In the rotation of light and shadow, Ren Zhong slowly revealed his figure and boasted: "Your intuition is indeed much stronger than before. Mr. Yu taught you a lot."
As soon as he heard Yu Chengde's name, Ma Xiaoling immediately put on an expression of admiration on his face, "Yu Zu is really powerful. He has developed his talent to the extreme. Yangsheng Ma has been thinking about it on his own for so many years, until I am here." In fact, he has never caught up with Yu Zu's realm. It's just sad to say that what pushed him to move towards a stronger path turned out to be just a misunderstanding and a lie."
Ren Zhong sat next to Ma Xiaoling, "Yes, life's fate is such a coincidence."
"Ren Zhong." Ma Xiaoling suddenly called Ren Zhong's name.
"Um."
"You know, a tough melon is not sweet. This is an idiom I learned in "The Savage Age". I think it is suitable to describe you and me. I don't understand why you suddenly changed your mind. Is there any situation that requires you and I to pretend to be lovers or husbands and wives again? You have already met the cryonic elders, right? The ancestors of Shenzhen Ma family care about this very much? You are here to win over him further and divide the cryonic elders. Did you just make this decision?"
Ren Zhong shook his head, "Although me marrying a descendant of Ma Zhongfei will indeed make him more dependent on me, but this is not the main reason."
"What could that be? You look nothing like the you I know, and I find it very strange. You have to give me a clear explanation, otherwise, I don't want to wrong myself and give you an advantage in vain."
Ma Xiaoling said "carelessly".
Ren Zhong looked at her profile and thought to himself, this is probably the highest level of duplicity, just like him.
Ren Zhong thought about it for a long time, but finally failed to bring out her affectionate confession in other timelines.
Ma Xiaoling is a thin-skinned person, and if he exposes her rashly, he may not be able to persuade her, but will only anger her, causing her to fully display her trait of being desperate for face and suffering, and lead to a lonely life with regrets for the rest of her life.
Ren Zhong: "If I said that I felt a little sympathy for you, and then this feeling gradually rose to liking you, would you believe it?"
Ma Xiaoling looked directly into his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and then laughed loudly, "I believe you! I am 100% sure that you definitely regard me as a man in your heart."
Ren Zhong's mouth twitched.
I knew it would be like this, the most affectionate thing was that I couldn't keep it, and I couldn't communicate normally with Sister Ma.
Ma Xiaoling said again: "Okay, don't beat around the bush, just tell me, what do you want to do?"
Ren Zhong stood up and shrugged again, "I think, with my current status, it is not decent to have only one spouse. Anyway, I have to take this step, so I might as well start with acquaintances."
Ma Xiaoling: "Then why don't you go find Chen Hanyu? She is also waiting for you. Zheng Tian is also waiting for you."
Ren Zhong: "Because, at this stage, I feel that getting along with you is the most free and easy. In a sense, does this really count as liking?"
Ma Xiaoling was stunned for a long time.
Then she stood up suddenly and said, "I understand. You must have known a lot about the empire, and you need to get more spouses to cover up your true nature. You destroyed the source star's 'net'
, but you think there must be a stronger 'net' on the empire side. You must still be prepared for a rainy day, even if you don't hesitate to distort your ideas and change your principles."
Ren Zhong: "..."
Yes, when Sister Ma is awake, the logic will definitely not make sense.
But in the next second, Ma Xiaoling regained his energy, "Okay, being brothers means having to fight at both ends. I have made a decision in my heart a long time ago."
"What decision?"
"I think highly of you, I trust you, and I know that you will definitely become more and more amazing. So, as long as you need my help, I will do my best. I will give myself a step down, you come and fight me, you win
Now, let’s get married. How about that?”
Ren Zhong stood up slowly, "Okay."
The battle between the two took place on the ground.
The two warring parties are respectively the eighth-level high-level Ren Zhong, and Ma Xiaoling, who is only at the seventh level on the surface, but his actual combat ability has fully reached the eighth-level standard.
Nowadays, the performance of the heavy-duty Chifeng Armor has been upgraded to level nine with the support of exotic mineral alloy.
As for Ma Xiaoling's silver armor, it is equally extraordinary. It embodies a large number of core technologies from Spark Military Industry, and also uses a large amount of interstellar trade black technology equipment that Ren Zhong acquired from Yuanxing Military Industry and Yersen Group.
Just a few minutes later, the huge abandoned mine pit was completely destroyed. The violent vibrations spread far and wide, all the way to the hinterland of Xinghuo Town, so that the garrison soldiers in Xinghuo Town were quite panicked.
Jiang Kai, the security commander of Xinghuo Town, hurriedly sent someone to investigate.
Fortunately, Ou Youning, the know-it-all on the other side, was able to stop it in time.
Ou Youning chuckled and said, "Don't panic, this is the boss trying to pick up girls."
Jiang Kai was speechless, "What girl? So tough?"
Ou Youning whispered: "Who else could it be? Think about it again?"
Jiang Kai thought for a few seconds and then said, "Captain Ma!"
Ou Youning hummed, "Of course."
Although Ou Youning was showing off his intelligence network at this time, Chen Hanyu's lonely look appeared inexplicably deep in his mind.
Sometimes, Mr. Ou would often imagine that if his boss had one-tenth of his love skills, Chen Hanyu would definitely live a happier life.
