Chapter 606: Honglou's Previous Bet Is 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 ceremony is for my promotion."

"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 firmly established?"

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?"

"Um."

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 him carefully and asked at the same time: "What exactly 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."

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

"Yes. The Oran Royal Court has actually built two production lines of Titan armor before, but they are short of 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, and you can see the prosperous street scene of Tennis City through the window.

Ji Xun's perception is very sharp now. After walking a few steps, he heard a familiar conversation coming from the room with the door open at the end of the corridor.

"Aunt Qin, I heard that Ji Xun just came into the city?"

"Yeah. The guards just sent a message saying that he and Miss Carter are 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."

"Hehe. That guy is here."

"."

Catalina on the side also heard it, and smiled meaningfully at Ji Xun.

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

Seeing Ji Xun really appear at the end of the corridor, her face immediately overflowed with a bright smile, and she waved her hand and greeted excitedly: "Ji Xun!"

Ji Xun smiled slightly.

Dong Qi's character is never reserved. She trotted over excitedly and gave Ji Xun an intimate hug, "Wow, long time no see."

Ji Xun hugged the girl in his arms, and also sighed, "Long time no see."

Although the last time they met was during the East Wilderness Showdown, it seemed not long ago, but looking back, it was nearly two years.

Katerina saw Dong Qi and gave her a passionate kiss in front of her, and also teased: "Qi Qi, why don't you avoid me?"

Dong Qi knew that she was teasing him.

But their relationship didn't mind this.

Miss Qiqi tilted her head and smiled excitedly, and responded: "Hahaha Sister Carter, you didn't tell me you were going to pick up Ji Xun?"

Catrina smiled and shook her head: "We just happened to meet on the street."

Dong Qi smiled and turned to look at Ji Xun again, "Wow, why do I feel that you have changed a lot every time we meet? Hmm. I can't tell what's different."

Ji Xun smiled and said: "Hmm. Because the realm has improved, it's normal to feel different."

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

She asked playfully, "Do you think I've changed?"

Ji Xun glanced at her, "You've realized the power of God."

Dong Qi pretended to be disappointed, "Ah? You can see that? And I said I'd give you a surprise."

Ji Xun knew what she was thinking, and asked curiously, "Also, I feel like your mental power is a little different?"

Hearing this, Dong Qi smiled proudly and brilliantly, "Before, Sister Carter used the Moon Goddess Dream to help me practice "Mechanical Descendants", and now this secret method has reached a very high level!"

As she spoke, she added with an arc on her lips, "I can now control the 'Mechanical Angel'!"

"Oh, our Qiqi is so powerful? "

Ji Xun was also a little surprised when he heard it.

He had seen the mechanical angel before, and it was very demanding to control that kind of top-level armor.

It was not a simple physical control, but a state similar to "man-machine integration" and the integration of machines.

It is not easier than the state of transcendence of ordinary card masters.

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

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

She actually wanted to say that she has been working hard to cultivate.

Ji Xun certainly noticed Wen Yu's heart.

When he thought about it, he realized that the scene of their acquaintance in Wu Zui City was many years ago.

This Miss Qi Qi has also changed from the gangster girl to the beautiful girl now.

The immaturity has faded, and her whole body exudes mature sexiness.

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

Now Dong Qi's height is almost the same as his, and the pair of long legs that were originally slender now look even more straight.

Especially wearing a liquid leather jacket, the touch in his hands is very subtle.

Dong Qi is not shy about intimate topics at all, and raised his eyebrows, "Yes~ I'll give it to you later~"

Katerina on the side also understood and smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth.

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

She looked at the intimate two people, her beautiful eyes raised, and greeted, "Let's go, let's go to eat first. Miss Carter has come all the way here, let's try the specialties of the southern continent."

Qin Rushi didn't treat Ji Xun or Dong Qi as outsiders, so of course there was no need to be polite.

The only thing he wasn't particularly familiar with was Catalina, and since they were both leaders of powerful forces, some etiquette was always required.

Catalina didn't mind, and smiled, "Miss Qin, you don't have to be so polite. ”

This meeting was Ji Xun’s invitation. Chujiu is still coming from the East Wilderness and will probably arrive in a few days.

It is not an official invitation, so there is no need for so many red tape.

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

Qin Rushi knew that Ji Xun had been practicing in the Duoken Mountains during this period, but she was also amazed at his changes.

Especially after learning that he had ignited the divine fire, she was as surprised as Katarina.

After hearing Ji Xun’s thoughts, she also guessed something.

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

But most of the time, the four did not talk about business, but some gossip.

Coincidentally, the four people’s acquaintance started from the exile city of 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 go change my clothes."

"Um."

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 mind. 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 saw 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 to see the correct version!

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

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."

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 come out.

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 wear it anymore."

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

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. I have never heard of any channel that can get it, even the three royal families.

Now that the South Continent is in chaos, this kind of wine has also flowed out.

Qin Rushi and Catalina sat on the sofas on both sides, as if they had a tacit restraint. Ji Xun sat in the middle, but Dong Qi did not avoid it at all. He sat directly next to him, took a sip of wine, and exclaimed: "Wow, it is really delicious."

Several people sat around on the sofa, drinking and chatting.

It always gives people a very safe feeling at home, and there is no need to worry about the topic of conversation.

"Ji Xun, if you plan to become emperor in the South Continent, it may cause a lot of trouble."

"Yes. Not to mention the Holy Church and the three royal families, even the nobles of the South Continent will not sit idly by. Someone will definitely attack us at that time."

"Are you just trying to reap a wave? Although our current strength is not weak, if there are too many enemies, it will be a big trouble. The most important thing is you. If you become emperor, the hostility of those top forces will be directed at you, especially the dragon clan. At that time, no matter who wins, the Holy Church or the Light Sect, the dragon gods on both sides will definitely target you first."

"."

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

Now the situation in Donghuang and the Old Road has basically been controlled by them. They have already mastered a very powerful force in the hands of the group of people who came out of Donghuang.

The New Orlan Royal Court, the Alliance Army, the Rebellion Army. Several forces are powerful and are also alliances, but they are not a whole.

Whether it is Catalina, Qin Rushi, or Chujiu, the top masters of Donghuang almost all rely on the luck of the dynasty to get to where they are now.

If it were any other time, there would be nothing wrong with their own development.

But in the current situation, if they cannot gather their luck and go further, they will be defeated one by one sooner or later.

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 forces of the East Wilderness, and his strength and prestige are enough to convince everyone.

When he becomes emperor, he can immediately unite the forces of the entire East Wilderness and the Old Continent into a whole, and the dynasty's luck will inevitably soar.

Qin Rushi and Catalina both have the rules of royal power. They know clearly that royal power is blessed by the luck of the plane!

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

Once someone becomes emperor, he is the master of living beings in the actual sense, and will inevitably be blessed by the luck of the plane.

This is the origin of the legendary "receiving the mandate from heaven" and "the king's power is granted by heaven".

It is also one of the most important reasons for the promotion ceremony of the king's power to condense the godhood.

If he had become emperor in the old continent, neither Catalina nor Qin Rushi would have been so surprised.

Because there is an abyss rift blocking the way, the dragons of the southern continent can do nothing for a while.

If they are given some more time to develop, they may not be unstoppable in the future.

But Ji Xun chose to become emperor in the southern continent!

The act of becoming emperor will directly steal the luck of the southern continent.

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

Not to mention that Ji Xun has the opportunity to condense the godhood and break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop.

Just like Catalina and Qin Rushi, the high-level officials who have been canonized will also transform into the [Moon Queen] and [Valkyrie] of the empire level, and even be promoted.

There are countless benefits.

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

Because the southern continent currently has an emperor, the Dragon God of the Arel Empire!

If you think with your toes, this will definitely be targeted.

Even if the Arel Empire is basically dead now, other dragons will never allow a human to become emperor in the southern continent.

It was not just a "provocation", but a real theft of luck.

This behavior will inevitably lead to endless troubles in the future.

The four of them drank and chatted.

Most of the time, it was Qin Rushi, Catalina and Dong Qi who talked.

Ji Xun just listened silently.

The three women had actually considered it very carefully. They almost thought of all the situations they would encounter after becoming emperor.

As they chatted, they also found that Ji Xun seemed to have made up his mind.

The three women were very familiar with Ji Xun. They certainly knew that Ji Xun's thinking ability was stronger than theirs, and they probably had already considered it carefully.

Qin Rushi and Catalina didn't say anything more.

First, at their current height, they had actually guessed some of the erased history;

Secondly, they had long been aware that no matter what decision Ji Xun made, they would support him to the end.

Dong Qi didn't quite understand and asked, "Ji Xun, do you have to become the emperor in the South Continent?"

"Yes."

Ji Xun couldn't say directly that it involved the plan of the plane supervisor, so he just said, "I understood the [Forbidden Ruins Stele] and saw the message left by the predecessors. There are risks, but we must try."

After this, although Dong Qi didn't understand, she was very sensible and didn't ask again. The tacit understanding made her see Ji Xun's seriousness.

Qin Rushi and Katarina on the side were thoughtful.

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

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

For a while, it seemed that there was no topic that could dilute the heaviness that came from nowhere.

Dong Qi sat cross-legged on the sofa, puffed up her cheeks, and didn't like this kind of silence.

She liked the joy of reunion after a long absence like before.

Suddenly thinking of something, she suggested: "How about we play cards?"

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

"Yeah."

Qin Rushi's eyes turned and she thought it was good.

Caterina replied casually: "Okay."

Dong Qi took out the poker from the storage ring and began to shuffle the cards with great interest. At the same time, he looked up at the three people and asked: "By the way, how do we play?"

There was a moment of silence.

Probably the four of them thought that anything was fine.

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

But before he could think it over, Catalina on the side suddenly turned her eyes and thought of something, and suggested: "How about something simple, two cards to compare the size?"

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

Originally, it was not suitable for four people to play.

But at this moment, when she said this, the people in the room immediately felt inexplicably familiar.

Ji Xun guessed something, glanced at Catalina, and did not get a response, but still responded.

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

She had already guessed something, and her pretty face was full of anticipation for the start of a good show.

Sure enough, Catalina spoke again: "I lost to Chief Qin in Honglou last time, can I have a chance to win back?"

When Ji Xun heard this, the scene that had passed a long time ago in his memory emerged again.

Thinking back to the first time the four met, it was Catalina who disguised herself as a young man and went to Honglou to gamble and fight.

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

Now that they have become friends, that little misunderstanding is a bit more fun to recall now.

Qin Rushi's eyes moved, and she seemed to recall some scenes and chuckled.

She still had that expression of smiling but not saying anything, and seemed to be very interested, and responded happily: "Okay."

Since they had decided what to play, Catalina asked openly: "How about a little prize?"

Qin Rushi also said without hesitation: "Okay."

At their current level, the prize is certainly not anything in the form of money or material things.

Catalina had a hint of confidence in her eyes, and said: "Then let's do it the same as last time in Honglou. Whoever loses will take off his clothes, how about that?"

When Qin Rushi heard the prize, her gentle smile did not change at all, and she responded with a calm expression that I might not lose: "Okay."
