Chapter 1111: Suitors
Chapter 1111: Suitors
In the following time, life returned to its original stability.
Chen Rui stayed in the Dark Moon palace to accompany the pregnant Athena. Duoduo was naturally a firm follower of daddy. Kia still served as Athena’s assistant while Samuel continued to take over the role of the Dark Moon’s legion commander.
Isabella returned to her small yard while Zola returned to the Rainbow Valley along with Guradam and Python. Guradam had merged with a strange wandering spirit, which intrigued Zola. The corpse necromancer also wanted to study it, so they hit it off. Python was going because the silver box was in the Rainbow Valley. Since she now had a real entity, she wanted to use the silver box to try to regain some of her strength.
The Roman Family, the Paglio Family, Dragon Emperor and his daughter, Adeline and Dodo returned to the house.
Auglas temporarily stayed in the Dark Moon because Python’s words benefited him a lot. The Dragon Emperor planned to stay here for a while to ask more mysteries about Pseudo-God, then he would return to Dragon Island to try sleep training.
Due to the streaking incident, Paglio became famous, but this guy’s face had become so thick that he was able to talk and laugh casually afterward. He even quoted a strange sentence from a certain human: The big nerve can make a killing move at a critical moment.
As the saying goes, dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Even Dragon Emperor Auglas couldn’t do anything about him.
On the surface, the usual life was the same as before, but everyone knew very well what was brewing behind this peace and tranquility.
Isabella boiled water and tea in the small yard every day. For her, this was not just waiting but a kind of training for her soul.
Zola was now encountering a real bottleneck. Ms. Fairy Dragon was extremely talented. The [6 Elements Kingdom] and [Rainbow Goddess Kingdom] were extremely powerful kingdoms, which made her almost peerless at the peak stage of the Demi-God level. Even Catherine’s real combat power was slightly inferior, but this also made her advancement to the Pseudo-God exponentially more difficult.
According to Python’s judgment, it would take at least 2,000 years for Zola to become a Pseudo-God, except for some unreasonable factors that might be brought about by ‘the inheritance world’. 2,000 years was definitely a rather astonishing genius speed for ordinary Demi-God level powerhouses especially dragons, as long as the lifespan was long enough. However, for Zola, it was still too long. Because 3 years later, Chen Rui would face terrifying enemies like the 3 archangels. 10 years later, Satan. She must advance to Pseudo-God as soon as possible, in order to be able to fight side by side with her beloved man and become his real help.
Therefore, Zola, who had reached the peak stage of the Demi-God, was not proud. On the contrary, she trained with more urgency and went to the training ground of time law every day.
The rest of the people were mostly the same. Everyone wanted to comprehend the power of 2-star evolution as soon as possible like Zola and Catherine to become the god of the ‘inheritance world’. This would make them a part of Chen Rui’s real combat power to overcome the crisis 3 years later.
For some reason, even Paglio who advanced to the Demi-God level was not successful. It could be seen that Demi-God level was not the standard to comprehend the 2-star evolution (Catherine comprehended 2-star evolution first before breaking through to Demi-God).
Relatively speaking, Guradam had the least sense of belonging or the most ‘passive’ one. The loyalty to Chen Rui was more out of the constraints of the contract and the special coercion of star conferring, but the achievements of the corpse necromancer were not to be underestimated. He not only advanced to the intermediate stage of the Kingdom level, but he had also become a wandering spirit. This would not only make it easier for him in the trials, but he also had made amazing progress in the research of a certain field: ‘rule energy’.
Rule energy was the basic energy for super weapons of the City of Stars and the super evolution of alchemy creatures. Generally, it could only be converted from the law fragments or law crystal balls that were dropped by hunting the wandering spirits. In this short period of time, although he obtained a lot of fragments in the trial, which greatly supplemented the needs of City of Stars, it would be finished after all.
After devouring a Kingdom level wandering spirit with fragment, Guradam sensed the peculiarities of that power. He became intrigued, and he tried to create similar power without the wandering spirits. If the corpse necromancer’s research was successful, it would be a leap forward for the overall strength that Chen Rui possessed.
Compared with Guradam, Dodo’s loyalty was unquestionable (mainly because he was used to having long term free meals), but the slime’s laziness was also unquestionable. In terms of talent and ability, the slime was firmly in the top 3 of the family and friends group, but in terms of diligence, he was recognized as the last one. After just coming back, he was hooked by Alice to the royal college as a companion to study with delicious food.
According to the Python training plan, the previous high-pressure training of the Ghastly Floating Land was the first stage. What was needed now was to digest and understand the insights of the Ghastly Floating Land. The second stage would start in about a year, so everyone was calm on the surface, but they were secretly working hard to train in their own way.
Fallen Angel Empire’s royal college.
The entrance of the woods.
“Princess Alice, today is your birthday. Please be sure to accept this gift that I carefully prepared – A colorful-winged bird.” A young man bowed Alice gracefully and handed a caged colorful bird.
“Tuman, there are so many such birds on the market! Stop embarrassing yourself.” Another young man in luxurious clothes glanced at Tuman disdainfully, “Princess Alice, my string of sulfur fire crystal beads is different. It is the most precious fire-type treasure…”
“Suvor, even a cheap pearl can be worthy of the word ‘most precious’?” Tuman sneered, “You really don’t know how to distinguish the goods. It’s not an ordinary colorful-winged bird, but a rare variant of dragon bloodline. It not only sings melodiously, but it also protects the master’s safety!”
“Isn’t it just a mutated bird? My sulfur fire crystal beads can greatly improve spirit power training, and it can also release flame power for self-protection. The most special thing is that it has the special attribute of ‘unparalleled’. Any fire treasure will be eclipsed in front of it, which is in line with the noble status of Princess Royal Highness.”
“Thank you for your kindness.” Alice nodded politely, but she did not accept the gifts. She grabbed the onion that coveted the sulfur fire crystal beads and continued to walk forward. Both of them were not willing to give up and continued to follow while repeatedly persuading Alice to accept her gift.
Alice’s older sister, Shea, was the current Royal Majesty Empress, who firmly controlled the Fallen Angel Empire. If they could marry Her Majesty Shea’s only sister, Alice, the benefits to the family and individuals could be imagined. Coupled with Alice’s pure and lovely beauty, there were many suitors in college. Suvor and Tuman were the representatives.
Both were from the elder families. Suvor was the inheritor of the Leif Family whereas Tuman was a young talent from the Boll Family, and his uncle was the royal college’s Deputy Dean Ciaro; he had a solid background. It was a pity that the 2, like many suitors, not only did not get the favor of Princess Alice, but they were tormented by the blackhearted princess.
However, the 2 did not give up. They tried repeatedly despite the failure. This time, knowing that it was Alice’s birthday, they specially prepared a gift long ago to present the treasure.
Before that, the 2 had coerced and lured away many other competitors.
Alice was already a little depressed. She felt that the 2 of them were buzzing like flies and were annoying. Just as she was about to get angry, her nose suddenly sniffed as if she had found something, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Suvor and Tuman saw Alice’s smile, and they thought she was moved. Then, Alice threw the onion in her hand and ran forward quickly. She was actually flying into a figure.
“Elder brother!”
Alice let out a cheerful cry, hugged the man’s neck tightly, and showed an extremely excited smile. She was completely different from the sullen face just now.
Brother? No! I thought Alice has only a sister? Tuman and Suvor frowned at the same time.
Chen Rui patted Alice’s back with a bitter smile. He didn’t expect that the camouflage technique could not hide from the little princess’ nose. To be more precise, it should be some kind of intuition. This kind of super intuition plus Sherlock Holmes-like powerful reasoning should be Alice’s strongest ‘talent’.
The initial haze on Alice’s face was swept away as she shouted joyfully to Chen Rui, “Today is my birthday; hand over the gifts!”
The facial expressions of Tuman and Suvor were even more unsightly. Just now, the 2 took the initiative to give gifts but Alice didn’t even look at them. Now she took the initiative to ask this person for a gift…
The two looked at each other. This is the biggest enemy. He must be eliminated first!
When Chen Rui heard the birthday present, “Uh, this…”
“Hmph, it seems that you can’t even remember Princess Alice’s birthday.” Tuman’s bizarre voice came over.
Suvor also added, “This kind of person is not worthy of appearing in front of Princess Royal Highness today; even more unworthy in the future.”
Alice was furious. Before she spoke, a familiar voice came from behind, “Sister Alice!”
A little girl broke free from the arms of the old man behind and flew toward Alice. It was Duoduo. Seeing Alice’s arms around daddy’s neck, Duoduo turned in the air and simply rode on daddy’s head – Each occupying their own ‘turf’.
“Duoduo, I’ve said it many times, call me aunty!” Alice tiptoed and kissed Duoduo’s face, and she ‘conveniently’ kissed Chen Rui’s face.
This scene made Suvor and Tuman stunned. Princess Alice, who usually doesn’t show friendliness to anyone, actually likes a guy with a daughter!
Tuman hurriedly exclaimed, “Princess Alice, don’t be fooled by this guy of unknown origin!”
Chen Rui didn’t say anything yet. Alice sneered coldly, “Shut up! I like to be fooled by him! What’s so great about your colorful-winged bird? Dodo!”
That onion responded tactfully. He instantly turned into an identical colorful-winged bird and chirped a moving song. It was actually the most popular ‘Castle in the Sky’ at the Demon Realm concert that was broadcast by magic television countless times. It was the exact same voice as the original singer, Helen.
Not only that, there was also a hint of dragon demeanor in the singing, which scared the so-called colorful-winged bird with dragon bloodline to the point of trembling. After a few moments, it was scared to the point of being unable to withhold its pee and poo before fainting.
Alice looked at Suvor, “And you, the unparalleled sulfur fire crystal beads, right? Bring it!”
Suvor hurriedly offered the sulfur fire crystal beads. Alice waved, and the fiery red sulfur fire crystal beads flew toward Duoduo, “Duoduo, I’ll give you something delicious to eat.”
Princess Blackhearted deliberately lowered her voice in the last sentence. Duoduo caught the sulfur fire crystal beads and sensed the fire element power. Hearing Alice said that she could ‘eat’ it, she immediately showed a beaming expression and fiddled with the beads with her little hands.
Then, a scene that left Suvor in disbelief happened. The light of the sulfur fire crystal beads, which were said to be able to dim fire treasures, weakened little by little in the hands of the little girl. In the end, it became transparent.
“Using this kind of fake thing as my birthday present… Hmph! I think you are the one who got fooled.” Alice threw the completely transparent sulfur fire crystal beads to Suvor again.
Suvor thought he had seen it wrong. He wiped his eyes and looked in disbelief. What happened? The sulfur fire crystal beads actually completely lost their power!
The blackhearted Princess Royal Highness handed Duoduo a handful of jelly beans and deliberately asked, “Isn’t it delicious, Duoduo?”
How did Duoduo know what was going on? She only said that the sulfur fire crystal beads were delicious, “It’s delicious. Sister is really good!”
“It’s aunty!”
Meanwhile, Suvor looked at the bead string that turned into trash in his hand, and Tuman was carrying the birdcage. The 2 little friends were astounded for a while.
