A faint pressure came from Kathleen's body, as if it was the prelude to a storm. Chen Rui suddenly felt a sense of danger in his heart, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
In the eyes of analysis, Kathleen's overall strength has actually surpassed the original S+ and reached S++. It seems that her strength has also improved considerably during this period. It is certain that the black potion he gave as a gift is contained in it.
Credit.
This is like shooting yourself in the foot.
"Wait a minute, you turned against me too quickly. I haven't said yes yet."
Katherine was startled, her breath became much more restrained, and she was quite surprised: "Then you just..."
"Don't you know there is a word called 'reserve'? I was occasionally reserved again just now." Chen Rui ignored the oppression and raised a finger: "I formally state my attitude, regardless of Caesar
Lin may be Christina or some other identity, your husband, your husband, your man, can only be me!"
Even Catherine was moved by that firm look. Her Majesty the Queen's aura had completely weakened, and this guy added another sentence: "Of course there is no problem in giving birth to an heir. I can guarantee that the task will be completed."
This sentence made Kathleen's face feel a little hot, but she didn't hear the rest for a long time, and her pretty brows wrinkled slightly: "What else?"
"And... well, it's okay to have a few more heirs!"
"That's all?"
"ah."
Katherine's murderous aura surged instantly, and her voice became colder: "Are you fooling me?"
"No, I'm serious. What I'm talking about is just a matter between a man and a woman, and it's between a man and a woman who like each other and have an intimate relationship. It has nothing to do with the empire or interests. This is my answer.
"Chen Rui looked directly at Kathleen, "I said back then that I would come to the Shadow Empire with a power that would make the entire demon world tremble and snatch you away. I also left a message in Crystal Valley saying 'I will definitely come back'. Do you know why?
Didn't you go? Because my current strength is not enough."
(Not enough.)
(Not enough for you to really let go.)
Katherine suddenly understood his unspoken words. In her deep black eyes, the quiet lake water seemed to have been thrown into a stone, and the water rippled slightly.
After a moment of silence, Kathleen spoke: "You can't be... you want to unify the demon world to achieve this wish? If so, I can only evaluate it as 'stupid as always'. I came to the Dark Moon today not for
I listen to your so-called oath, so you don’t need to talk nonsense. I just want to tell you that since you are unwilling to join the Shadow Empire, then we are destined to become enemies."
Chen Rui sighed and showed no resistance: "So, are you going to take action? Eliminate me, the biggest threat to the survival of the empire? If you want to kill me, I don't seem to have any room to resist."
Katherine looked into his eyes, her aura suddenly disappeared: "I can't kill you, not only because you are calm. But also because of my intuition, even though I have the shadow cloak in my hand, even though I am only one step away from nationalization. Don't say that
You don’t know what nationalization is, just like you shouldn’t doubt a woman’s intuition.”
Chen Rui smiled bitterly, a woman's intuition is indeed powerful, but Kathleen had no real murderous intention from the beginning.
"Actually, just because Delia inadvertently revealed her trust in you before, and because the veiled lady is assured of leaving you alone with me, I can guess this. Your strength should have grown to...
At least you are able to leave peacefully in front of me. If I had known this...I would have kept you in Youye Wetland, or spared your life. Unfortunately, there is no turning back in life."
Chen Rui sighed: "You have never really looked back, so why do you know you can't? It's like, you have never really let go, so how do you know you can't let go?"
"No need to waste your efforts. No matter what happens, nothing can shake my will. Maybe you are the only man who makes me attracted. But it is impossible for me to let go of my persistence." After frankly expressing his affection for Chen Rui, Kai
Saleen seemed to be relieved of some kind of burden. Her eyes became more determined: "If you really want to conquer the Shadow Empire to fulfill a stupid wish in the future, even if you succeed, all you will get is my corpse. I say
That’s it, I won’t bother you anymore. You can leave. I will leave a little room for talents like you. You don’t have to worry about the leakage of your identity or secrets before you completely fall out. If you change your mind, I welcome you at any time.
.So...the next time we meet, it will either be in my palace or on the battlefield."
As expected, he is as persistent as ever.
To protect the entire people.
Sitting alone on that cold throne.
Chen Rui stared deeply into Kathleen's beautiful and bright eyes, as if he wanted to engrave her seriousness and determination in his heart.
"To be honest, Kathleen, at first I was more attracted by your beauty, coupled with the relationship and the man's... possessive desire, but now, I am truly fascinated by you, my Queen.
"We are about to part ways, please allow me to play a piece of music for you."
Katherine wanted to refuse, but her eyes fell on the familiar red piccolo in Chen Rui's hand, and she finally nodded.
The melodious flute sounded, and to Catherine's surprise, it was not the familiar song "Dancing Solo Under the Moonlight", but another piece that she had never heard before. The clear and sad notes lingered in her heart, bringing a sense of joy.
With deep sadness and persistence of no return.
She closed her eyes and seemed to see the window sill, the lonely moonlight, the misty and overlapping phantoms, the hurried passers-by, the reluctant eyes, and the fading back figures.
One day, all the melancholy and sadness will no longer exist, and even the soul will be wiped out, but the mark of the intersection of two hearts and two lives will always be engraved in the moment, like the sparkle of stars in the sky, even if it is just for a moment, there will be no regrets.
.
The music disappeared, and Kathleen, who was immersed in it unknowingly, slowly opened her eyes, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, and she stroked the moisture on her face in shock, only to find that she was the only one left in the room.
No matter what the outcome is, will you not regret it for the rest of your life?
a long time.
"Damn guy...he didn't even say the title of the song."
I don't know if it was due to the influence of the music, but this low voice is no longer dull and quiet.
Blood Evil Empire, Iron Fist Territory.
Edmund was covered in blood and stumbled through the woods.
The Iron Fist Castle was breached, and the last power he had in his hands was lost.
Just half an hour ago, after all his bodyguards were killed protecting him, he has become a veritable loner.
After confirming that there were no pursuers behind, Edmund gasped and leaned against a tree, slowly sitting down on the ground with the long sword in his hand, and the scene of the previous city's defeat reappeared in his mind. At that time, his army
Either dead or surrendered, seeing that the situation was over, he killed dozens of his wives and concubines with his own hands to avoid being humiliated by Aleus and others. When he was about to commit suicide, he was knocked unconscious by his bodyguards and fought to save them.
Although he saved his life, the huge humiliation and blow of the failure made it simply unacceptable for the second bloody prince.
"Why did the demon god give victory to Arleus? Why! What did I do wrong?"
Angry shouts echoed through the woods.
"You are not wrong."
A low and calm voice sounded.
This familiar voice made Edmund feel thunderous, and his drinking stopped abruptly.
"Father……"
A figure appeared in front of Edmund. He was short, with long black hair and an ordinary face. He should be a passer-by anywhere. However, no one in the demon world dared to ignore this "ordinary" person.
, instead you need to look up to this person.
Because he is Lei Chan, the strongest man in the demon world, Lei Chan Mammon.
"Father, when did you end your practice..." Edmund struggled to stand up.
"Just when I learned that you failed." Lei Chan looked at his son calmly: "I am very disappointed in you."
"You have always been disappointed in me!" Edmund's breathing became rapid and he said desperately: "I am your real eldest son. When they were young, both Arius and Tevis called me brother.
, I am the true eldest prince of the Blood Fiend Empire! Later... I became the second prince. This time I just want to take back everything that belongs to me, but unfortunately I was wrong, very wrong!"
Lei Chan's voice was very calm: "I said, you were not wrong, Aleus was not wrong, and even...Teves was not wrong either. It's just that you failed."
Edmund leaned slumped against the tree and sighed: "Yes, I lost, I lost completely, I have nothing."
"So I'm disappointed in you because you can't face failure. This was the case before and is still the case now." Lei Chan slowly shook his head: "As my son, I can keep your life and spend the rest of your life with adequate food and clothing."
"Captive?" A trace of ridicule appeared on Edmund's face, and he clenched his fists: "Let me watch the winner step by step to the pinnacle of strength and power? Since I was sensible, this is the first time I can remember.
One thing is what you said to me, the empire does not need losers."
Lei Chan's eyelids slowly drooped: "There is an old saying, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. This has been true from ancient times to the present."
"That's right... the empire really doesn't need losers." Edmund laughed miserably, and his face suddenly showed an abnormal red color, which then gradually turned black. The real source of the change was his clenched fist.
There are poison crystals used for suicide. If you don't use strength to resist, you will be poisoned and die in ten seconds.
Lei Chan quietly watched Edmund, who was bleeding from seven holes, slowly fall down, and sighed softly. The faint sadness that flashed in his eyes was quickly covered up by the cold solemnity, and suddenly he punched
Sky.
A crack opened in the dense clouds, as if a strange eye had opened.
After a while, heavy rain poured down, and the blood on Edmund's body was washed away by the rain.
In the rain, the lonely emperor's back gradually faded away.
