Cataclysm King

Chapter 145 Dancing Water Chapter One

In the apartment at 233 Maple Leaf Road.

Ji Xun sat at the same table with his cousin "Sophia", eating breakfast leisurely and reading today's newspaper.

"Master Kaker likes to take people's favors, good wife. So on the surface I am your cousin, but in private, I am your lover. When the time comes, you can give some hints to lure him into the bait."

"Ah."

"What's going on at Bureau X?"

"There is only one person who knows my identity. I have a very high authority to act independently, and I can just make up a reason to get away with it."

"Well. Then you should be careful not to expose yourself. Once exposed, in order to keep the secret of the sect, I may kill you directly."

"."

While speaking, Ji Xun glanced at the beautiful girl with a beauty filter in front of him again from the corner of his eye, and secretly let out a surprise in his heart.

Just now, he watched helplessly that the leader of Yinyue didn't change his skin, and with a casual touch, he turned into this young girl.

And not only the appearance, but also the skin color, pupils, and body dimensions are completely different.

He also gradually understood the meaning of the "Moon with Thousand Faces" in that eulogy.

No wonder they couldn't catch Xie Guozhong.

Not only the appearance, but the strength of the leader of Yinyue feels very ethereal.

For a master like Xie Guozhong, although Ji Xun can't reach the level, he can accurately understand that he is very strong, like a high mountain.

And this one, it feels like a cloud that is always floating in the sky, and the root of it can't be grasped at all.

On the side, the two maids also lost their disguise.

They wore the transparent gauze garments of the Tarun Dynasty before, and served Sophia respectfully.

This gave Ji Xun a very weird feeling.

It seems that the scene of the oil painting "Queen Montigny's Gold Necklace" seen before has reappeared.

This woman is really like Queen Montigny stepped out of history.

Ji Xun guessed that this seemed to be some kind of "god descended body" ceremony.

She seemed to be playing something.

With the deepening of the role, she becomes more and more similar to a certain existence, and also stronger.

Ji Xun also guessed that the Silver Moon Sect seemed to have some kind of direct connection with the history of the downfall of the Talun Dynasty.

As Xie Guozhong said, this guy has already become popular.

There is really only one word for this undercover agent: exciting.

That feeling of walking on thin ice all the time made Ji Xun in a kind of excitement all the time, and his thoughts became clearer.

But then again, the benefits are obvious.

Visualizing the "Empty Moon God Thought" is also very efficient.

And this secret method does have the miraculous effect of suppressing mental distortion.

After Ji Xun meditated all night last night, he obviously felt that his head was stiff and his mind was always going to shut down.

This secret method is like spiritual power being shaped into the moon, the main consciousness is the moon, and countless complicated thoughts are like moonlight.

No matter how far the moonlight shines, there is no need to worry about out of control distortion.

Moreover, the value of mental strength soared, and the increase was several times that of before.

This also greatly improved Ji Xun's control of flying knives.

But there is a slight disadvantage.

The grade of this secret method is too high.

What he can understand at his current position is only the superficial.

With the current progress, Ji Xun reckoned that he might not be able to learn the secret technique in the moon after several years of visualization.

And he couldn't guarantee that someday that old god would find him, an ungodly believer.

I have already figured out how to take that cataclysmic item [X-712-Moon] away.

But it's not easy.

And he also always felt that the leader of Yinyue must have something behind him.

The leader of Yinyue is very cold.

Although they were in the same apartment, the two of them would not chat at all except for religious matters.

Ji Xun is also happy to see this.

Although he was also very interested in this mysterious ancient god sect, he didn't dare to test it out, and he was afraid of being found out.

All day today, he stayed in his apartment and visualized the moon.

In the evening, Ji Xun and Sophia dressed up and took a steam car to the lion heart family's mansion for a banquet.

The Lionheart family stationed [-] elite beasts in the upper city of Innocence.

It deserves to be the current number one force in Innocence City.

Although their mansion is not as high as the lord Cao's house, its scale is not bad at all.

Just in the west city, there is a huge white manor, which is the "Rose Manor" of the Lionheart family.

"crunch~"

The steam car stopped at the gate of the manor.

The butler bowed and opened the car door: "Baron Charlie, please come inside."

Ji Xun got out of the car first, then stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly manner, and helped Sophia down in a blue low-cut princess skirt.

In the past few days, Ji Xun has gotten used to this kind of social activities in the upper circles, and he can greet all kinds of nobles familiarly as soon as he gets off the car.

After handing over the invitation, he entered the manor smoothly.

After getting out of the car, Sophia changed from the indifferent queen to a smart and playful girl, who seemed to be interested in everything, and looked around with big eyes.

Ji Xun was also amazed by this acting skill.

Both of them knew that there were many masters around who were watching everyone coming and going.

Among them is Xie Guozhong.

The containment expert of Bureau X, who was disguised as a guard, looked at Ji Xun and the two who had just entered the door in the distance, and muttered: "This kid is really acting like something!"

If it wasn't for the fact that the identity of "Baron Charlie" was not customized by him, he would feel that he had admitted the wrong person.

The handsome young man in a white suit in front of him, with a chic and noble look on his face, is not a decent nobleman, so it is absolutely impossible for him to be so calm.

In a blink of an eye, he looked at the girl in the blue skirt who was hugging Ji Xun intimately, Xie Guozhong also smacked his lips: "Tsk tsk. This kid's popularity with women is really exaggerated."

It's only been undercover for a few days, and you hooked up the leader of the Silver Moon Sect?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would feel a little unbelievable.

Originally thought that being an undercover believer would be a success, but Ji Xun's move was beyond expectations.

However, the risks are not small.

Just as a group of dinner guests arrived at the manor one after another.

In the study of the main building of the mansion.

Members of the Anka family have just had a secret meeting.

The owner of the second room, the Federation's four-star general "Golden Lion" Carlo, came out first.

Behind him was a group of Ankaga cubs with excited expressions on their faces.

It turned out that the Cao family shared the mechanical blueprint a few days ago, allowing the Cao family to grasp the initiative in the development of the old continent, and many nobles chose to stand in line.

Unexpectedly, the upper echelons of the Lionheart family also had a way to deal with it, and they actually had a lot of top-secret files of the Old Continent in their hands.

It's only a lot more than Cao's!

These cubs already know the purpose of tonight's dinner.

Their Lionheart family will announce the establishment of a new city in the old continent!
This will be a huge opportunity.

According to the federal law, a family that establishes a new city is regarded as opening up a new territory.

Whoever builds it is the lord.

This also means that the Lionheart family will have many new nobles with titles.

And the high-level family also encourages the heirs to open up new territories, which may directly affect the family's final inheritance rights.

Not just inheritance.

Everyone knows that opportunities abound in the Old Continent, and if a new city can be opened up, the benefits are absolutely unimaginable.

This made the lion cubs eager to explore new territories.

Katerina walked out of the study, leaning against the railing of the corridor by herself.

She was playing with the [Destiny Gold Coin] in her hand, looking at the guests coming and going below, the bright lights reflected in her crystal eyes.

The most beloved youngest daughter of General Carlo, the most talented woman in Silver Mist City, seems to be not as enthusiastic about the development of the new city as others are.

After being in a daze for a while, a beautiful woman who still had a charm came over and said with a smile, "Oh, what happened to our Silver Mist Rose? I heard that you are not in a good mood recently?"

Katerina heard the voice, looked back, blinked her curved eyelashes, and was a little surprised: "Mother, when did you come?"

"Just arrived at the manor."

The beautiful woman sized up Katerina and pampered the girl's soft hair.

For her own daughter, she naturally saw the abnormality at a glance, and asked, "What's the matter? The family will issue a pioneering order tomorrow. If it were Little Carter before, he would definitely want to get the pioneering No. 1."

"."

Katerina smiled slightly, but didn't speak.

Yes, in the past, she was sure that she would do better than her brothers.

The feeling of controlling power and victory will give her a strong sense of accomplishment.

There are still.

But she didn't think that being No.1 would necessarily be the one who got the most.

The beautiful woman suddenly thought of something, and asked: "I heard again. Did you suffer a little loss in the city of innocence?"

When Katerina heard this, she smiled and shook her head: "No, my lord, you have learned a lot."

Hearing this, the beautiful woman also smiled in relief. She saw something and said meaningfully: "We, Carter, have grown up."

Katerina listened to the brilliance in those clever eyes shrink.

She thought of something, and asked, "Mother, why did you come to Innocence City? It's not very safe here."

The beautiful woman asked back with a smile, "What do you think?"

Katerina raised her eyebrows: "For my engagement?"

The beautiful woman smiled without saying a word.

But it seems that when it comes to this topic, the atmosphere is not very good.

After pondering for a moment, the beautiful woman said again: "I heard from your father that you don't seem to be too concerned about the marriage contract? You know, several sisters of your uncle's family are vying to replace you. After all, this time the family The marriage partner is very important, and may even directly determine the succession of the next Lionheart King of the family."

Hearing this, the fate gold coin in Katerina's hand trembled suddenly.

She was also a little puzzled. Looking into the distance with those blue eyes, she said lightly, "But... I don't even know who I'm going to marry."

The beautiful woman seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say you didn't mind before? And I remember, before you came to Innocence City, you were looking forward to this marriage contract. You still went to find your grandfather to settle it. "

Katerina remained silent.

The engagement was indeed her own.

She didn't think there was any problem before.

Because the concept that I have been exposed to since I was a child is that the marriage contract of the nobles is a bridge for the marriage of interests.

I can't choose.

Then pick the best for yourself.

Maybe he can grasp more power and let himself stand on the peak of power.

But I don't know when, this idea suddenly wavered.

I don't know what to shake.

But... that obsession with pursuing the number one since childhood, seems to suddenly lose interest.

It's not that the edge is no longer there.

But always feel that something is missing.

The beautiful woman used to be a young girl too. Looking at her daughter's expression, she seemed to have guessed something: "Did you meet a boy you like? My mother was also young before."

But before she finished speaking, Katerina shook her head.

"That?"

The beautiful woman was puzzled.

She couldn't figure it out, and said with a slight smile: "I can assure you, that person is a good-looking person, he won't be fat, big-eared and ugly. And he has a noble status. After you get married, you will definitely not be disappointed."

These are some slang jokes exchanged in private by the ladies of the Federation. To complain about family marriage is like opening a blind box. If you don't open an ugly one, it is good luck.

What's more, in her opinion, this is indeed the best choice.

But Katerina didn't feel it at all, instead she said with a big brain: "My lord mother wants to say that he is a 'prince'?"

The beautiful woman was also quite surprised: "You guessed it?"

Katerina's tone was very calm: "I didn't guess it before. I probably guessed it now. The old continent files that my father got were obtained from those remnants of the old era, right? It looks like this marriage contract , and sold for a good price.”

The beautiful woman also knew that her daughter was far more intelligent than ordinary people, so she didn't say much.

But after hearing the last sentence, she also sighed slightly, and said: "It sounds like an exchange of benefits. But the honor of the family... I think you should understand. What mother can give you is to choose the best one for you. of."

"Ok, I know."

Katerina responded indifferently, with no joy or sorrow on her expression.

But after saying these words, the gold coin of destiny that jumped nimbly between his fingers suddenly trembled again.

It seems that the gear of fate has turned at this juncture.

There was a flash of inspiration in my mind.

The light on Katerina's delicate face suddenly lit up.

I finally know what it feels like to feel that something is missing in my heart all the time.

I am not someone's private property, nor am I a commodity waiting to be exchanged.

I am who I am.

I'm Katrina!

Ji Xun and Sophia entered the Rose Manor.

In the entire Innocence City, only the Cao family and the Lion Heart family have the financial resources and face to invite the nobles of the city.

There are hundreds of guests in the huge manor.

Ji Xun glanced at it. In the past few days, there have been many new faces.

"Hey, Baron Charlie, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Mr. Winston, Sir Romond, stay safe."

"Who is this pretty lady?"

"My cousin Sophia."

"Yo, cousin? Oh, forgive my faux pas~"

"."

Ji Xun led Sophia among the guests all the way, and soon became acquainted.

Many guests can still make a few jokes.

The title "cousin" already has ambiguous implications in the aristocratic circle.

Everyone also tacitly guessed that it might be Charlie's lover.

For nobles, being romantic is not a moral issue, but a bragging capital.

In this way, Ji Xun led Sophia to wander around the manor.

After listening for a while, I realized the purpose of this dinner.

It turned out that the federation would issue a new development order in two days.

The Cao family and the Lionheart family will build two new cities in the old continent.

The location of Cao's house is in "Devil's Crossing", which is the ruins where Ji Xun crossed over.

The address chosen by the Lionheart Family is near the "Thunder Fortress".

The new city is not a hunter's camp. Once it is established, it means that a large number of residents will move in. At that time, the development of the old continent will be completely kicked off.

Ji Xun also felt quite looking forward to it.

He even guessed that the silver moon leader next to him might be developing for the old continent if he wanted to get close to the high-ranking nobles.

After all, almost all the miracles of the old gods that have been buried in the dust of history are in the old continent.

Relying on a few old believers to develop those high-risk relics is tantamount to nonsense.

Not long after, the Lord appeared.

The younger generations of the Lionheart family entered the dinner party one after another.

There are only two direct descendants.

Young Master Kak with a proud face, and Ekaterina in a sexy black and gold dress.

After all, it was the host's house. As soon as they came out, all the guests came forward to say hello.

The lights slowed down, and melodious dance music sounded at the same time.

Gentlemen in formal attire invited their partners to dance on the dance floor.

Sophia put her arms around Ji Xun's neck, and said next to her ear, "Find a way to get close to that one."

"it is good."

Ji Xun did not show any abnormality.

It's too obvious to approach the goal like this,
The two of them were not stupid enough to just pass by like this.

But after a dance, Ji Xun suddenly saw an opportunity.

Katerina sat on a sofa by the dance floor.

As the most dazzling little princess of the Lionheart family, she is naturally the focus of the gentlemen's eyes.

Not long after she sat down, there were several groups of young heroes who wanted to invite her to dance.

But Katerina was not interested in dancing, so she declined one by one.

Those who were rejected did not feel displeased, but being rejected was also a kind of honor.

After all, no one can invite this person.

However, at this moment, Ji Xun left.

In a very clever position, he left his dancing partner cousin and went to the rest area by himself.

Sophia also muttered, and walked to the sofa on the other side with a reluctant face.

And not far from here, there happened to be the young master Kaker sitting there, and he also watched with interest.

Of course, this scene has long been seen by Katerina.

Ji Xun walked over and said generously: "Long time no see, beautiful Miss Carter."

Katerina glanced at him, but said nothing.

But Su's micro-expression unfolded between eyebrows did not mean to reject people thousands of miles away.

Ji Xun bowed and performed a gentlemanly salute: "May I invite you to dance?"

Hearing this, Katerina didn't know why, but she didn't directly refuse for the first time: "Oh, can you tell me a reason for me to accept the invitation?"

Ji Xun asked: "Is Miss Carter getting engaged recently?"

Katerina heard the flash in her eyes, and she didn't think outsiders would know about it, "Why do you say that?"

Seeing her slightly strange expression, Ji Xun wondered if he really guessed right?

But he also continued: "My grandmother once told me that if a beautiful lady rejects nine gentlemen who invite you to dance in a row, then the tenth should respond. Otherwise... it means that she has a marriage contract."

Katerina smiled noncommittally and said, "This is a very old court etiquette. After the federation was established, no one followed it."

Ji Xun continued: "So... I have this honor?"

When Katerina heard about the engagement, a rebellious thought that she didn't even know had moved in her heart.

But her eyes pointed to Sophia who was sitting not far away, and asked with great interest: "Where is that beautiful lady?"

Ji Xun said without any difference: "She is my cousin."

Katerina was really interested when she heard this guy talking nonsense, "Do you think I believe it?"

"I don't think you believe it either."

Ji Xun didn't evade his eyes, and stretched out his hand directly, saying: "So, can you give me a dance time, can I explain?"

This kind of aristocratic lady is used to seeing all kinds of gentlemen since she was a child.

So Ji Xun felt that even if he behaved as a gentleman, it didn't make any sense.

But she must have never met such a blatant scumbag.

It doesn't matter if you get rejected.

Anyway, his goal of abandoning his cousin has been achieved.

Do you really want to seduce this person?

He didn't think so.

However, what Ji Xun didn't expect was that after saying this, Katerina smiled with great interest, raised her slender hand, and accepted the invitation, "Okay."

Can't talk about any ideas.

I just feel inexplicably bored and find some fun for myself.

This scene once again stunned the melon-eating crowd.

Can anyone really get the favor of that Silver Mist Rose twice?
The young talents who had been rejected just now cast admiring and envious glances.

Even the Yinyue leader looked sideways slightly.

The two stepped onto the dance floor.

"Sophia is my cousin."

"So, that's your explanation?"

"Ah."

"Ha ha."

Thinking that the invitation was successful, Ji Xun danced a random song.

Moreover, this is a beautiful girl with a very attractive image and temperament. The restlessness caused by the Yinyue leader's joyful secret technique in the past two days, the body can't hold back at this moment.

But reason is very clear.

He put his arms around Katerina's slender waist in a gentlemanly manner, and said a few words casually: "My friends always say that I am clumsy, and I am easy to reveal my secrets if I am careful. This is especially true when I meet a beautiful girl."

Katerina smiled slightly, and even replied: "Well, I can see it."

Normally, no one would dare to say that.

In the past, which suitor didn't look like a gentleman in front of him?
But with her eyes, how can she not see the desires concealed in those people's eyes, whether it is for beauty or power.

But this guy in front of him is a little different.

No pretentious hypocrisy at all!
This guy made Katerina see the motive at a glance, he came for his beauty.

There was undisguised, aggressive desire in this guy's eyes.

But there is a powerful reason to restrain this desire.

Subtle and not offensive.

How can this guy balance desire and reason so well?

Jumping and dancing, the dance music is coming to an end.

Katerina smiled and reminded: "I don't have anything else to say. I'm leaving after the dance."

It seems to be in a better mood, but that's it.

Smart, pompous and tsundere.

Ji Xun saw the temperament of this young lady from the Lionheart family.

Originally, he wanted to rack his brains to create a chance for Chief Yinyue.

But with a glance from the corner of the eye, the senior Kaker had already chatted with "Sophia".

mission completed.

There is no need to dance.

Thinking about it, Ji Xun felt curious, so let's have some fun.

He said directly: "I'm sorry, I don't want to hide that I'm close to you, and I really have another purpose."

Katerina raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh?

Ji Xun said directly: "I think it would be a wonderful thing if I could have breakfast with Miss Carter."

Isn't a general invitation to dinner?
Katerina is very smart, and immediately understands the deep meaning of these words.

But she didn't feel offended, instead she frowned.

She even thought it was quite new.

It was the first time someone spoke of lust in such a fresh and refined way.

Even a little poetic.

As she said that, just as the dance music was over, she let go of her hand with a chuckle, "Hehe. I don't want to have breakfast with someone I don't know well."

Ji Xun also sent her to her seat with a look of pity.
