Chapter 606: Zeng Honglou’s bet played again?

Chapter 606: Zeng Honglou’s bet played again?

"Didn't you want to be the emperor before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Catalina teased curiously.

Ji Xun helped her fasten the clasp of the necklace from behind and said, "I know what the rituals required for my promotion are."

"Oh"

Hearing this, Catalina responded, and then suddenly realized something.

A strange color suddenly appeared in her beautiful eyes. She turned her head and looked at Ji Xun beside her, and said in surprise: "Have you hit that bottleneck?"

Of course it is the bottleneck in condensing the divine personality.

As the chosen one of the Moon God, she knows the difficulty of that threshold better than anyone else.

The ninth level is the pinnacle of transcendence, but the card master who can truly reach that bottleneck is another matter.

If it were anyone else, Catalina would never believe it, but what this guy said

She looked at Ji Xun's indifferent smile, and without waiting for an answer, she already knew the answer. She was delighted and sighed, "Before I said that, Miss Qin said that you were practicing hard in seclusion, but it turned out that you really made a breakthrough. So, now you are the 'God of God'" Are the rules already solid? ”

There is nothing that cannot be said about this lion-hearted lady. Ji Xun said truthfully: "I do have a new understanding of the power of rules. But it is more of a breakthrough in my soul."

Catalina was stunned for a moment, as if she was pondering the meaning of this sentence.

After pondering for a moment, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked in surprise: "Ah, did you... did you light the divine fire?"

"Yeah."

Ji Xun nodded and said, "We have touched that realm. It's still too early to say it's ignited."

"Really?"

As soon as these words came out, Catalina's pretty face couldn't hide her surprise.

Others don't know what it means to light a divine fire, but she, the moon goddess, knows it very well!

You must know that you are blessed by the power of faith of hundreds of millions of believers in the Eastern Wasteland and guided by the will of the Moon God. Only now can you touch that mysterious realm.

Why did this guy just light up the divine fire after not seeing him for more than a year?

The white jade lion lady of the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces hugged Ji Xun's neck deeply and affectionately, without shying away from intimacy. She looked at her carefully and asked at the same time: "What happened?"

He couldn't explain it clearly in a few words, so Ji Xun simply said: "It's a long story. I got some gifts from Emperor Lanlingst, and I touched the threshold by chance."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Catalina did not ask further questions.

Anyway, there will be plenty of time to chat slowly later.

Only then did Catalina understand why Ji Xun had informed her before that he was going to be the emperor.

She asked again: "So, you plan to take the path of royal power to condense your godhood?"

Although it is not a good match, as long as you can be promoted, it is already an incredible achievement.

God level. That is already an unattainable level for human beings.

However, without thinking, Ji Xun shook his head: "No. I don't intend to take the path of royal power."

If he takes the path of kingship, he feels that he has a high chance of condensing his godhead.

But the fit is not high, and there is a high probability that it will stop there.

He wants to take another path.

A promotion path unique to JOKER.

Catalina was confused when she heard this, "Huh? Then you are"

Ji Xun said: "My promotion ceremony is a clown's playground."

"???"

When Catalina heard the name of this ritual, she blinked her eyelashes, and for a moment she didn't know which law of the godhead she was referring to.

At least none of the fifty-two demon gods are like this.

Although Ji Xun's expression looked like a smile but not a smile, it was not serious.

But Catalina could understand that this guy was serious.

You must know that the card master's promotion ceremony to the divine level is a huge cultural trend.

The literal meaning is that this guy intends to use the current situation as a playground?

Only then did she realize that becoming the emperor was not the goal. This guy was probably preparing for a big game.

Catalina smartly didn’t ask any more questions and smiled sweetly: “You still haven’t changed.”

Ji Xun accompanied Catalina to a jewelry store and bought some jewelry, some for herself and some as gifts.

As the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, it was rare for him to be so leisurely. The two of them wandered around the bustling city of Tenis again.

"Just guessing that you might make a big move, I brought sixteen Titan armors. There are also a thousand hunting god legions and a few god-destroying cannons. As long as the Dragon God doesn't come in person, I think it's enough to handle it."< br>

"Oh? Is the production capacity in Donghuang so great now?"

"Yes. The Royal Court of Oran has actually built two production lines of Titan armor before, but they just lacked materials. The New World itself also has mature mechanics and equipment. Thanks to your previous plan, now the entire The lords of the Old World are providing us with high-end materials, so that the New World can produce so many top-notch armors. By the way, Qiqi is here too.”

"Oh?"

"."

The two of them were walking and chatting, and as they walked they came to a classical building made of huge white stone pillars, which was the municipal center of Tenis City.

The rebel army took control of the city, and Qin Ruzhi, as the leader, spent most of his time here.

The sergeants on the guard all knew Ji Xun and Catalina. They went straight in without bothering anyone else.

City Hall is full of busy officials.

After all, there are hundreds of thousands of war refugees to resettle every day, so there is a lot to do.

The two walked up to the third floor, where Qin Rushi's office was.

The third floor is very quiet, almost no one can be seen.

The view from the corridor is also very good. Through the windows, you can see the prosperous street view of Tenis City.

Ji Xun's perception was now very sharp. After taking a few steps, he heard familiar conversations coming from the open room at the end of the corridor.

"Aunt Qin, I heard that Ji Xungang entered the city?"

"Well. The guards just sent word that he and Miss Carter were shopping. What's wrong, Qiqi seems to be looking forward to it?"

"Yeah. I haven't seen him for a long time. Of course I miss him."

"Haha. That guy is here."

"."

Of course Catalina on the side also heard it and looked at Ji Xun with a meaningful smile.

At this time, the door of the office at the end of the corridor opened, and a tall girl wearing a liquid leather jacket poked her head out.

Seeing Ji Xunzhen appear at the end of the corridor, a bright smile immediately filled her face, she waved her hands and greeted excitedly: "Ji Xun!"

Ji Xun smiled slightly.

Dong Qi's character was never reserved. She trotted over excitedly and gave Ji Xun a close hug, "Wow, it's been a long time."

The girl in Ji Xun's arms also felt the same emotion and whispered: "Long time no see."

Although the last time we met was during the decisive battle in the East Wasteland, it seemed not long ago, but looking back, it was almost two years since we last met.

Catalina looked at Dong Qi and gave her a passionate kiss in front of her. She also teased: "Qiqi, why don't you just avoid me?"

Of course Dong Qi knew that she was teasing him.

But their relationship doesn't mind this.

Miss Qiqi turned her head and looked with an excited smile on her face, and responded: "Hahaha, Sister Carter, you went to pick up Ji Xun without even saying a word to me?"

Catalina smiled and shook her head: "I just happened to meet him on the street."

Dong Qi smiled and turned to look at Ji Xun again, "Wow, I feel like you change a lot every time we meet. I can't tell what's different about you."

Ji Xun smiled and said: "Yes. Because the realm has improved, it is normal to feel different."

Dong Qi tilted his head and looked carefully, and felt the same.

She asked slightly playfully: "Do you think I have changed too?"

Ji Xun glanced at her and said, "You have realized the power of the gods."

Dong Qi pretended to look a little disappointed, "Huh? You can see this? I even said I would give you a surprise."

Of course Ji Xun knew what she was thinking, and he was also curious: "Also, I feel like your mental strength is different?"

Hearing this, Dong Qi smiled proudly and brightly and said: "Sister Carter used the moon dream to help me practice "Mechanical Deity" before, but now this secret method has reached a very high level! ”

As she spoke, she traced a curve on her lips and added: "I can control the 'Mechanical Angel' now!"

"Oh, we Qiqi are so powerful?"

Ji Xun was really surprised when he heard this.

He had seen the Mechanical Angel before, and it was extremely demanding to control that kind of top-level armor.

That is not a simple physical level control, but a state similar to the "integration of man and machine" and the integration of machinery.

It's no easier than the realm where ordinary card masters transcend the world and reach sainthood.

I didn't expect Dong Qi to reach that level.

Dong Qi smiled brightly again and said: "Yes. What else? Have you noticed any other changes?"

She actually wants to say that she has been working hard to practice.

Of course Ji Xun found out about Wen Yu's heart.

Looking back, I realized that the scene where they met in Sinless City was already many years ago.

This Miss Qiqi has also changed from the gangster girl back then to the elegant and beautiful girl she is today.

The youthfulness receded, and the mature sexiness was revealed all over her body.

Ji Xun held her hips with both hands and said, "Qiqi seems to have grown taller again."

Now Dong Qi is almost as tall as himself, and his long legs, which were already long and slender, now look even more straight.

Especially when wearing liquid leather, the touch in your hands is very subtle.

Dong Qike did not shy away from intimate topics at all, and raised her eyebrows, "Yes~ I'll try it for you later~"

Katarina on the side also understood, covering her mouth and laughing softly.

At this time, Qin Rushi also walked out of the old door of the office in the distance.

She looked at the two intimate people, raised her beautiful eyes, and said hello: "Let's go, let's go eat first. Miss Carter came all the way, and let's try the specialties of the Southern Continent"

Whether it was Ji Xun or Dong Qi, Qin Rushi did not treat them as outsiders, so there was no need to be polite.

However, he and Katarina are not particularly familiar with each other, and each is the leader of a large force, so some etiquette is required.

Catalina didn't mind, and said with a smile: "Miss Qin, you don't have to be so polite."

This meeting was an invitation from Ji Xun, who was still coming from Donghuang on Chujiu and would probably arrive in a few days.

It's not an official invitation, and it doesn't involve so much red tape.

Without being disturbed by others, the four of them had a sumptuous and joyful dinner together.

Qin Ruzhi knew that Ji Xun had been practicing in the Duoqian Mountains during this period, but he was also very amazed at his changes.

Especially after learning that he had lit the divine fire, she was as surprised as Catalina.

Then after hearing Ji Xun's thoughts, she also guessed something.

After all, few people know better than Qin Rushi how strange the situation in the southern continent is now.

But most of the time, the four of them didn't talk about serious matters, but just chatted about gossip.

Coincidentally, the acquaintance of the four people began in the city of exile in the Innocence City.

They share too many wonderful memories in common that may be beautiful or thrilling, but are unforgettable.

After dinner, everyone wanted to have a drink.

However, it is no longer appropriate for their status to go to the tavern.

Qin Rushi took Ji Xun and the others to her residence.

She, the leader of the rebel army, did not choose the luxurious manor of the previous city lord's mansion. Instead, she chose an apartment with a small garden not far from the city hall.

The apartment was decorated very warmly, and Qin Ruzhi led the three of them to the study room on the second floor.

"You guys sit down for a while and I'll change my clothes."

"Yeah."

Qin Rushi was still wearing the professional suit she used to handle government affairs during the day. Of course she didn't need to be so restrained at home. She came back and went to the next room to change clothes.

There is a fireplace in the room, and the dancing flames add a bit of warmth to the room.

The crystal lamp hanging on the ceiling is a relic that has the effect of calming the mind and calming the spirit. The light gives people a very gentle feeling. The desk is filled with various parchment scrolls and leather-bound magic books. There is a white bear monster skin spread in front of the classically embroidered sofa, and shields and swords are hung on the wall

The unique style of Valkyrie's wisdom and bravery is revealed everywhere in the study.

Dong Qi liked this room very much and exclaimed: "Wow, Aunt Qin's house is so beautifully decorated."

She didn't regard herself as an outsider, she completely regarded herself as her own family, and she was completely unrestrained.

She pressed the switch on her wrist, and the liquid leather clothes took off, revealing her fair skin.

Under the leather jacket, there were only hot pants and a vest, and her tall and sexy figure was suddenly exposed to the air.

There was no one else here. Katrin had also taken off her waistcoat, and her low-cut long skirt perfectly outlined her figure.

There are many items with characteristics of the southern continent placed in the study, most of which are trophies that the rebel army collected from the nobles' treasury along the way.

Catalina admired these trophies with great interest, and looked at the [Holy Sword of Olympus] and [Gorgon Shield] on the weapon rack, and she also showed great interest.

Of course she could see the power of these two relics as she had the destiny of kingship. She turned her head and looked at Ji Xun and asked, "Is this the legendary holy sword of kingship?"

Ji Xun nodded: "Yeah."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Catalina's beautiful eyes were full of energy as she heard this. She saw some clues and murmured: "It's so amazing. Even just looking at it gives people a sense of sharpness that seems to break through everything."
< br>

Dong Qi also saw the shield and said in surprise: "Ji Xun, what kind of metal is this shield? Why do I feel like it has no flaws?"

Ji Xundao: "I don't know either. This is a relic left over from the Great Collapse Era. But you are right. This shield is the most defensive object I have ever seen. It has the power of 'absolute defense' rules"< br>

Dong Qi didn't quite understand the power of rules, but Katarina on the side understood it.

At this time, the three of them saw another painting with a "Mermaid".

The water in the painting is rippling, and the mermaid in it seems to be alive. There is a weak and miserable expression on her beautiful face, as if she is imprisoned.

Dong Qi asked curiously: "Ji Xun, what is this?"

Ji Xun has never seen it before and expressed curiosity.

But both he and Catalina sensed that the mermaid was not that weak, and there was a faint aura of danger.

The three of them were watching when footsteps sounded outside the door and Qin Rushi walked in.

There were no servants in the apartment, so she walked in with four goblets in one hand and a wine bottle in the other. At the same time, she introduced: "That's the sealed Siren Banshee. It was found in a Duke's treasury. This The relic is a fatal threat to low-level card masters, but the singing is nice.”

As she spoke, she raised her hand slightly, as if she had released some restrictions.

The succubus in the oil painting began to sing.

The beautiful melodies and songs are like lullabies, echoing in the study, giving people a sense of peace and joy.

Ji Xun also knew what Qin Ru was talking about.

This song is really good for people of their rank.

But after hearing this, the low-level card master was immediately hypnotized.

The three of them also satisfied their curiosity.

But what Ji Xun cared about was not this, but the black and gold patterned cheongsam that Qin Rushi put on.

The whole plump figure is perfectly outlined by the tight cheongsam, and the whole body exudes mature charm.

The waist is cut just right, and is well-proportioned without any fat; the side slits are just right, and a pair of beautiful legs are looming; the neckline is hollowed out, and a pair of heavy white pomeloes are ready to emerge

Qin Rushi, wearing a cheongsam, has a sex appeal that cannot be ignored.

Dong Qi blinked, not hiding his surprise: "Wow, I haven't seen Aunt Qin wearing a cheongsam for a long time~"

Catalina also glanced sideways and glanced at Ji Xun from the corner of her eye. The cunning look on the corner of her mouth was meaningful.

Qin Ru smiled softly: "I wear armor most of the time, but rarely anymore."

At this time, she put the wine glasses on the table and poured wine into all four glasses: "This is [Rainbow Dragon Wine] from the Southern Continent. It has a good taste and effect. Miss Carter, try it."

What she can offer to entertain guests is, of course, good wine.

"Okay~"

Catalina sat on the sofa opposite Qin Rushi, took a sip with great interest, and her eyes immediately lit up: "Wow, such a rich taste~"

Ji Xun also tried it, and sure enough, a complex texture swept through his taste buds as if he had swallowed a rainbow of colors.

He had only heard of this [Rainbow Dragon Wine] before, because it was the special wine of the Holy See.

It is said that it is supplied to the Dragon God, but I have not heard of any channels where it can be obtained, even from the three royal families.

Now that the Southern Continent is in chaos, this kind of wine has actually leaked out.

Qin Rushi and Catalina sat opposite each other on the sofa, as if they both had a tacit understanding of reserve. Ji Xun sat in the middle, but Dong Qi didn't shy away from it at all. She sat directly next to him, took a sip of wine, and exclaimed. : "Wow, it tastes really good."

A few people sat around the sofa, drinking and chatting.

There is always a sense of peace of mind at home, and there is no need to worry about the topics to talk about.

"Ji Xun, if you plan to proclaim yourself emperor in the Southern Continent, you may cause a lot of trouble."

"Yes. Not to mention the Holy See and the three royal families, even the nobles of the Southern Continent will not sit idly by. When the time comes, someone will definitely attack us."

"Do you just want to use this to harvest a wave? Although our current strength is not weak, if there are too many enemies, we will be in great trouble. The most important thing is you. When you are the emperor, the hostility of the top forces will be directed at you, especially It’s the Dragon Clan. No matter who wins, the Holy See or the Illuminati Sect, the Dragon Gods on both sides will definitely target you immediately.”

"."

They did not question Ji Xun's plan to become emperor, and even understood it very well.

Now the situation in the East Wasteland and the old road is basically under their control. The people they came out of the East Wasteland have already mastered a very powerful force.

The Royal Court of New Oran, the Alliance Army, and the Rebel Army. A few strong forces are powerful, and they are also an alliance, but they are not a whole.

Regardless of Katarina, Qin Ru, or Chujiu, these top masters in Donghuang have almost reached this point by virtue of their dynasty's luck.

If it were other times, there would be nothing wrong with developing independently.

But in this situation, if they can't gather their luck and go further, sooner or later they will be defeated one by one.

But at present, none of the leaders of their forces can completely convince the other forces.

Only Ji Xun.

He has a close relationship with the three Eastern Wasteland powers, and his strength and prestige are enough to convince everyone.

When he becomes emperor, he will immediately be able to unite the forces of the entire Eastern Wasteland and the Old Continent into a whole, and the fortune of the dynasty will inevitably skyrocket.

Qin Rushi and Catalina both have the rules of royal power, and they know clearly that royal power is protected by the luck of the plane!

"The new emperor ascends the throne" is the most solemn ceremony of human civilization.

Once someone proclaims himself emperor, he is the actual master of all living beings and will inevitably be blessed by the luck of the plane.

This is the origin of the legendary "mandate from heaven" and "kingdom granted by heaven".

It is also one of the most important reasons for the promotion ceremony of condensing the godhead on the path to kingship.

Originally, neither Katarina nor Qin Rushi would be so surprised when they proclaimed themselves emperor in the Old Continent.

Because there is an abyss crack blocking it, the Dragon Clan of the Southern Continent will be unable to do anything for a while.

Give them some more development time, and the future may not be unstoppable.

But Ji Xun chose to proclaim himself emperor in the Southern Continent!

The act of proclaiming emperor will directly steal the luck of the Southern Continent.

This will bring huge luck blessings to Ji Xun and all the forces in the Eastern Wilderness.

Not to mention that Ji Xun had the opportunity to gather his divine power and break through that bottleneck in one fell swoop.

Just like Katarina and Qin Ru, these canonized high-level officials, they will transform into imperial-level [Moon Queen] and [Valkyrie], or even be promoted.

The benefits are countless.

But the only problem is that this is someone else’s territory!

Because the Southern Continent already has an emperor, the Dragon God of the Airel Empire!

Thinking with your toes, this will definitely be targeted.

Even though the Airel Empire has basically existed in name only, other dragon clans will never allow a human to become emperor in the Southern Continent.

It's not just a "provocation", it's a real theft of luck.

This behavior will inevitably lead to a steady stream of trouble in the future.

The four of them drank wine and chatted word by word.

Most of the time, Qin Rushi, Catalina and Dong Qi were talking.

Ji Xun just listened silently.

The three women have actually thought about it very carefully. They have thought of almost all the situations they will encounter after becoming emperor.

While chatting, they also discovered that Ji Xun seemed to have made up his mind.

The three women are all very familiar with Ji Xun. Of course they know that Ji Xun's thinking ability is stronger than theirs, and they may have already thought carefully about it.

Qin Rushi and Catalina didn't say anything more.

First, due to their current height, they have actually vaguely guessed some of the erased history;

Furthermore, they had already realized that no matter what Ji Xun decided, they would support it to the end.

Dong Qi didn't quite understand and asked: "Ji Xun, do you have to proclaim yourself emperor in the Southern Continent?"

"Yeah."

Ji Xun couldn't tell directly about the plan that involved the plane monitors, so he just said: "I understand the [Forbidden Ruins Stone Tablet] and saw the messages left by the seniors. It's risky, but you have to try it. ”

As soon as these words came out, although Dong Qi didn't understand, he was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions. The tacit understanding allowed her to see Ji Xun's seriousness.

Qin Rushi and Catalina on the side were thoughtful.

They already knew at this moment that Ji Xun was probably setting up a big trap.

When talking about this topic, the atmosphere is inevitably a bit dull.

For a moment, it seems that I can't find any topic that can dilute the heaviness that I don't know where it comes from.

Dong Qi sat cross-legged on the sofa and puffed out his cheeks, not liking this kind of silence.

She liked the joy of meeting again after a long separation.

Suddenly something occurred to her, and she suggested: "How about we play cards for a while?"

Drinking and playing cards have always been a perfect match for leisure and entertainment.

"Yeah."

Qin Ru's eyes turned and he thought it was pretty good.

Catalina responded casually: "Okay."

Dong Qi took out the poker from the storage ring and started shuffling the cards enthusiastically. At the same time, he looked up at the three of them and asked, "By the way, how do we play?"

There was silence for a moment.

Probably all four of them think they can play whatever they want.

Ji Xun was also thinking about what would be more fun.

But before he could think about it, Catalina on the side suddenly turned her eyes, thought of something, and suggested: "Why don't you make it simple and compare the two cards?"

Although comparing sizes is simple, it is a very boring way to play.

Originally it was not suitable for four people to play.

But as soon as she said these words, several people in the room immediately felt inexplicably familiar.

Ji Xun guessed something and glanced at Catalina. He didn't get a response, but he still responded.

Dong Qi blinked: "Ah, I think it's okay!!!"

She had already guessed something, and her pretty face was full of anticipation for the show to begin.

Sure enough, Catalina spoke again: "Last time I lost to Leader Qin in Honglou, can you give me a chance to win back?"

When Ji Xun heard this, the long-past scene in his memory resurfaced.

I remember when the four of them met for the first time, it was the scene where Catalina disguised herself as a young man and went to Hong Lou to gamble and cause trouble.

But Qin Rushi was already a legendary powerhouse at that time, so of course she couldn't get any benefits.

Now several people have become friends, and that little misunderstanding is a bit more fun now in retrospect.

Qin Ru's eyes flashed, and he seemed to have recalled some scenes and chuckled.

She still had the same expression with a slight smile between her brows, and she seemed to be very interested, and she happily responded: "Okay."

Now that she had decided what to play, Catalina asked openly: "How about some luck?"

Qin Rushi did not hesitate: "Yes."

In their current state, the lottery is certainly not anything in terms of money or material things.

With a hint of confidence hidden in Catalina's eyes, she said: "Then it will be the same as last time in Hong Lou. Whoever loses, how about taking off his clothes?"

When Qin Ru heard this lucky draw, her gentle smile remained unchanged, and she responded with a calm expression that said, "I don't necessarily think I will lose."
