Dio was shocked when he learned that the two people had been assassinated. He related the circumstances of his own assassination and scolded Faramo and Marlene for being despicable. He comforted Chen Rui and Jia and left in a hurry with a group of guards.
He said that he would immediately rush to the inner city to appeal to his father, Crozier.
Chen Rui knew that this kind of complaint was useless, but he let him go. Seeing that Jia's mood seemed a bit low, Chen Rui looked embarrassed and said: "Jia, don't take it to heart today."[bsp;
Jia knew that he was talking about the little unpleasant experience in the restaurant, so she shook her head and said, "I should be the one saying sorry."
"No need to say anything! This is for you."
Jia took the box and looked at it. It was an exquisite brooch, and her eyes lit up: "This is what we saw before..."
"I thought you liked it, so I bought it secretly while you weren't paying attention." Chen Rui smiled, "Take it, it's a little surprise."
"Thank you, sir." Jiya curled her lips and showed a slight smile.
Chen Rui nodded: "This smile is much prettier than usual. I like it very much."
Jia's face felt hot, and she hurriedly left on the pretext of going in to rest. "Arthur"'s unbridled laughter sounded behind her.
Listening to the pride in the man's laughter, the succubus felt her heart beat a little faster for some reason.
As Chen Rui expected, Dio's appeal in front of his father Crozier came to nothing, but Crozier made a decision to let his three children and the tool maker he supported temporarily move to the inner city.
live.
The inner city is tightly guarded, and civilians and idlers are not allowed to enter, which can prevent such assassinations from happening again.
The Custer family's inner city house was very large. Chen Rui took Jia to live in a courtyard. Although they did not go out shopping again, after what happened last time, the two seemed to have a vague understanding.
The somewhat formulaic charming smile on Jia's face has been reduced a lot.
The finals are about to start in one day. Yesterday, Chen Rui happened to meet a competitor, the previous champion Robert. He is a big demon with mid-level demon strength. He is thin and looks very strong. When he saw Chen Rui
, showed an unkind look, did not answer, turned around and left, quite a bit like "the colleagues are very resentful".
As night fell, the twin moons in the sky glowed with a faint purple glow. Jiya got along well with Dio's sister Celine, and she was taken to see new clothes not long ago. Chen Rui sat on the stone table in the yard, holding a
Have a glass of wine and taste it slowly.
He goes his own way, is bold and scheming, and stubbornly likes certain types of beauties and fine wines. These are the key words that shape Arthur's character. In order to maintain this image, he now drinks every day, usually alone.
While drinking, he missed many people at the same time. He missed the woman he loved, the woman who was truly him, the woman he might like, the loli who was just his sister at the moment, and the unscrupulous person who was in an abnormal state.
Friends, I miss my relatively normal friends...
Chen Rui has not stopped practicing because of weapon making. During these days, in addition to the time rules of the training ground linked to the refining room, he has also practiced various rules such as gravity, angry sea, deep sea, time, etc. in the training ground.
Cross-applied, the progress of mind cultivation does not stop with the end of the fierce state. On the contrary, with the "spur" of Shura who may resurrect at any time, the cultivation of mind has become one of the daily "courses", even if it is daily words and deeds
, is also a state that coincides with spiritual practice.
The requirements of the Dharma Realm are literally the practice of Dharma, but the word "Dharma" is not just spiritual power or magic, it covers a wide range. Remember that there is a saying in Buddhism that "all Dharmas" are divided into five aggregates and twelve places.
Eighteen realms. But he only remembered these names, but could not remember what they were specifically. Chen Rui's understanding of Dharma is that all things and phenomena can be called - the world.
He had a vague feeling that the "world" might have something in common with the power of the so-called "realm", or it might be similar, and the day when the realm is truly understood should be the time when the Dharma Realm reaches perfection.
However, the power of the domain can only be mastered by at least the Demon King level, and even the Demon King level can only control the pseudo domain. At most, he is only equivalent to the power level of the Great Demon King, even with some of the skills taught by Pagliu.
Concept, but unable to penetrate and understand it.
Chen Rui thought of a new thing he had obtained, which was the Kaio Fruit obtained when he cheated the Mellon family. The Kaio Fruit is the essence born from the Aurora Black Ice. After taking it, it can derive a similar feeling in the realm according to the consciousness of the user.
Spiritual imprint, thereby helping users understand and deepen the power of the field.
Perhaps, you can try using Kaio fruit.
It's just that the power of the Kaio Fruit is too strong and requires Demon King level or above to withstand it. I wonder if this problem can be solved by eating stars and transforming stars. Anyway, the Kaio Fruit will lose its effectiveness within three months.
Of course, for now, it is better to complete the tool maker competition first.
Chen Rui took a sip of wine carelessly and suddenly frowned slightly. He saw a slim figure strolling over, but it was not Jia.
This woman came closer, it was Marlene.
Due to the talent of Nirvana, the Asmodeus royal family, both male and female, are the most beautiful in appearance in the entire demon world. Marlene has a good figure, plump breasts and hips, soft waist, and excellent facial features, but her eyebrows are a bit thick and slightly revealing.
Strong.
The more this happens, the more it gives people a different kind of desire to conquer, wanting to see this powerful woman's debauchery in bed.
Marlene wore an off-shoulder, low-cut long dress, which looked even more seductive under the moonlight, as she walked gracefully.
"Master Arthur."
Although "Arthur" has not obtained master-level certification, he has shown that he is very close to the strength of a master. This deliberate compliment made him smile slightly.
Seeing that he did not refute the compliment, Ma Lian felt reassured, but she did not know that Chen Rui's true strength had already reached the master level, and he deserved it.
"Master, drinking alone here, isn't it a bit boring? Let's have a drink together?"
Chen Rui had already guessed that Ma Lian must be here to win over her, and nodded.
Marlene was secretly delighted, sat down, took out a cup and filled it up: "I have been careless in the past few days, and my words have been rude. I have offended the master. Please forgive me. I will do it first out of respect."
Marlene drank a glass of wine and sat closer to Chen Rui. The aroma of her body penetrated his nose.
"Mrs. Marlene, just tell me what you have to say." Chen Rui took a sip of wine slowly, "I don't like to beat around the bush."
Marlene calmed down and said: "The master's strength was obvious to all in the rematch. Although Robert was the last champion, in my opinion, he is far from the master's opponent. I hope... the master can let him defeat him in the finals the day after tomorrow."
.”
"oh?"
Seeing that Chen Rui was not overly emotional, Ma Lian quickly added: "Master also knows that this time is related to the issue of the successor of the Custer family. As long as Master is willing to help this time, he will be grateful. No matter what it is,
, I can give double what Dio gives to the master...even, I can give it to the master myself."
Chen Rui's eyes fell on the undulating ravine on Ma Lian's chest, and he looked up and down again. Anyway, he didn't look at it in vain. Ma Lian felt like a commodity being criticized by a businessman. She was the second general Valen. Her biological sister, a member of the royal family of Asmodeus, nearly died because of Valen's big mistake at that time. In order to preserve her power, she had no choice but to marry into the Custer family. After her marriage, she has been bossing around her husband, Faramor, and is very strong. Now that the other party was looking at me so unscrupulously and rudely, I felt very uncomfortable and had to show a catering smile on my face.
After Chen Rui had some free time, he slowly said: "I'm afraid Faramor didn't know about this bargaining chip in advance. Aren't you afraid that he will fall out?"
"He dares?" Ma Lian's eyes widened, showing some of her usual majesty, and she smiled charmingly: "That man is just a coward, how can he compare to a real man like the master. As long as the master agrees, not only will he be able to Later, I can continue to be the master's secret lover in the future. My brother is the second general of the empire, Valen, from the Asmodeus royal family, and he can also recommend the master to become a high-ranking palace weapon maker."
As she said that, Marlene's eyes revealed the luster of emotion, and her breath became hot, "Let me tell you a secret, Fǎ Lamo is basically a useless thing in bed. I really want to see it. The strength of a real man..."
Chen Rui felt a little sympathy for La Mo. Not only was he being strictly controlled by his wife, he also had to be a cuckold.
"Actually, even if I agree, Robert may not be able to win the title. In my opinion, that Horford is stronger than me. Madam only has one body. Do you plan to sell two companies? Or wait for the temptation here. After failure, try there again?"
Marlene's eyes suddenly turned cold: "What do you mean?"
"Don't you understand yet?" Chen Rui drank a glass of wine slowly, "Madam, your seduction has failed. I am not interested in women like you. I suggest that you understand the other party's personality before going to Huofford's. Preferences. For example, I am a person who likes women, but my taste is a bit picky. I will get the ones I like at all costs. The ones I don’t like...even if they are naked and scratching their heads in front of me. , no different from a skeleton."
Marlene stood up suddenly, feeling extremely humiliated in her heart, and her original charming eyes seemed to be on fire.
"You will regret the choice you made today!" After gritting her teeth and throwing this sentence away, Marlene left angrily.
Chen Rui didn't take it to heart. He knew very well that Ma Lian's seduction and win-over were all for the competition. Once the competition was over, he was just a small tool maker, and he would be slandered nine times out of ten. Moreover, even if those promises were true, it was impossible for him to agree to them.
Chen Rui took another sip of wine and smiled faintly: "Okay, come out, you've been watching for a while."
A burst of laughter like silver bells rang out: "The master is the master. My sister-in-law is used to being strong, but if she is suddenly teased like this, she will be so angry that she will vomit. Poor me! The second brother is going to be used as a punching bag again."
The woman who spoke turned out to be Dior's youngest sister Celine. Celine walked over wearing a casual and elegant short skirt. She had big eyes and a beautiful and lovely face. Although she was slightly inferior to Marlene in terms of beauty, she was full of the characteristics of a teenage girl. The youthful vitality, especially the plump outline of the chest, the standard childlike face... that murder weapon.
If a certain little loli were here, her purple eyes would turn red with jealousy.
"Sister Celin." Chen Rui smiled and said, "Where is Jiya?"
"She is trying on clothes and jewelry in my fitting room. I promised to give her a few sets to please you, the master." Celine showed a cute smile.
"Then Miss Celine left Jia in the fitting room and came here by herself. Is there anything wrong?"
Celine chuckled: "People know that Master doesn't like beating around the bush, so I just said it straight away. In fact, Marian's wife and I have the same intention of returning to my sister-in-law. I hope Master can give up the championship of this competition. In fact, Master I don’t need a competition of this level to prove my strength, but this kind of victory is indeed too important to me, so I have no choice but to take the liberty of coming to challenge Master.”
"This request really surprised me," Chen Rui said with a look of surprise: "I originally heard Dio say that his competitor is his younger brother Faramor. My sister Celine has never been too keen on this. I didn't expect that the young lady turned out to be very interested in the head of the family. The position is quite interesting.”
"You can't do it without thinking. The eldest brother's ability is too poor, and the family will be defeated sooner or later in his hands. The second brother is about the same. Although he has a shrewd and powerful wife, it is true that once the Asmodeus royal family takes control of the family, It won't be long before the surname Custer will be replaced by Asmodeus. Only I can keep the Custer family alive."
Celine said with a smile: "I have finished explaining the truth, but if the master really wants to make such a concession, the benefits will definitely be huge. Sister-in-law Marian was too stingy just now, just double the remuneration... Let's do it, I will pay. Ten times, and you can pay half now."
Chen Rui's eyes lit up slightly: It stands to reason that the benefits Dior paid him must be an astronomical figure. Celine paid ten times as soon as she exported, and now she can pay five times up front. This kind of courage is not something ordinary people have. It seems that This girl is not simple. Both Dio and Faramo looked down on this seemingly harmless sister.
No wonder, Horford, the unknown toolmaker supported by Celine this time, was able to enter the finals with astonishing results and became one of the two biggest dark horses. This may not be luck.
Chen Rui looked interested, but shook his head: "I understand Miss Serling's kindness, but I have an agreement with Mr. Dio first, and I don't want to break my promise."
"Actually, I just tried the master. Sure enough, the master did not disappoint me. In the devil world, there are very few people who keep their promises like the master." Celine was not unhappy, but there was a hint of age in her smile that was different from her appearance. Proportionately mature and determined, "Only such a man is worthy of me, Celine Custer."
Chen Rui was really surprised, and Celine's eyes glowed with a strange light: "As long as you help me ascend to the position of head of the family, you can legitimately become my man, and the entire Custer family belongs to you. You can use the resources of the family to further improve your skills, and there is no need to wander outside to try your luck. If I read correctly, your level should have been a real master long ago. The Custer family itself started as a toolmaker, so this can be regarded as You have the best of both worlds. With your ability and potential, even if I am the head of the family, it is not wrong to be your woman. I know that you like to go your own way, so I will not restrict you. You can have many women, but in name only We are just marrying into the Custer family. Our descendants, whose surname is also the Great Devil, will continue to control the Custer family. I believe my father, Crozier, will be happy to see this. Even if he is not happy, , or he is unwilling to let me, a girl, control the family. As long as the overall situation has been decided, he can only face this fact."
Chen Rui put down his wine glass, his eyes a little solemn, as if he was meeting Celine for the first time. This seemingly innocent and cute girl has such a big heart! (To be continued)
