Chapter 2218 I Can’t Bear It

Dusk, slightly cool.

Covered in sweat, Emily and I walked home side by side.

Just like in the past, we had a hearty battle in the palace arena, and then she took a bath, and I waited for the beauty to come out of the bath and change into new clothes. Then we faced the sunset and walked around the house. direction.

The wet bun still dripped crystal water droplets from time to time, drawing thin crystal lines one after another in the romantic dusk.

"This war was more tragic and difficult than I imagined."

Emily didn't look at me, but her calm voice was telling me what was in her heart.

"Actually, it's not bad." I spread my hands and said, "If it weren't for some guys' inaction, I wouldn't be in danger."

"That's why I said it was more tragic and difficult than I imagined."

"So that's what you meant." I nodded and chuckled, "You're right."

"If I were by your side at that time, would you still challenge Atlas rashly?"

Emily suddenly turned to me, with a hint of expectation in her indifferent expression.

"If you were by my side, I might have jumped into the war earlier, put aside all worries, and moved forward courageously."

"Why?"

"Because you are my trusted lover, I can trust you with my back and life."

Emily was slightly startled, then she let out a breath and asked, "Aren't Phoenix and the others worthy of being entrusted to us?"

I shook my head: "They are still very weak and have not grown up yet. Before that, I will not give them any responsibility or burden, which will only make them feel troubled."

"You are indulging them."

Emily retracted her gaze and continued to look at the sunset.

"It's not arrogance, it's just that the time has not yet come. As soon as the time comes, they will naturally transform into responsible and responsible girls."

"When will this opportunity arrive?"

She turned her face sideways, and bathed in the afterglow, most of her body radiated golden light.

Looking at her slightly puzzled eyes, I smiled slightly: "I don't know."

Emily is not a person who gets to the bottom of things, so the two of us quickly put aside the topic of the fiancées' growth, and instead quietly enjoyed the silence that belonged only to the two of us on the street in the dusk.

This romantic and irresistible atmosphere lasted only a few minutes.

It's not that romance has a short lifespan, it's that something inappropriate has just gotten in and ruined the atmosphere.

That out-of-place thing is none other than the special envoy of Dasha City, Green Wilder.

This guy was anxiously wandering in front of my house. There were several small boxes placed at his feet. Two or three meters away from him, there were four strong men standing. They looked like adventurers at first glance, but from the beginning Judging from the auras they invisibly exuded, these four people together were not enough for me to beat with one hand.

I sneered and thought to myself: Is this too hard to be soft? Do you want to persuade me with emotion, reason, and courtesy? Then use your intelligence and your eloquent tongue to convince me?

Haha, do you really think that I am a little kid with an uncivilized IQ?

After sneering, I raised my voice: "Hey, isn't this the special envoy? How come you have time to take a walk in front of my house?"

Hearing the sound, Green Wilder noticed me and hurried over, with a warm and flattering smile on his face: "My lord, I was joking. I came to your place for the first time. I wanted to visit your lord's residence the next morning, but I was busy." There is nothing I can do about business, no, I have already finished my business, so I hurriedly came to visit you."

I chuckled: "Since you're here, why don't you go into the house?"

Green Wilder's face did not change, he straightened his expression and said: "The elder is joking. I am humble and in a low position. How can I dare to enter your residence casually without the elder's permission? That is very disrespectful!"

"Oh?" I was happy: "When you faced me in court, you did not hesitate to criticize me with words and words. Those profound questions are firmly engraved in my heart and make me remember them all the time. , dare not or forget.”

Wilder sneered and said: "Sir, please stop making fun of me with matters in court. In that environment, I was only doing business. As His Majesty's mouth, I said what His Majesty wanted to say. But outside of this court, privately, I still admire you very much."

"Worship me?" I chuckled: "Worship me for what?"

"I admire your bravery, your righteousness, your tireless efforts for the prosperity and growth of Dashai City, and your efforts to promote international relations."

Naturally, everyone likes to hear good words, and I am no exception. But if you want to win my favor with a few witty words and make me relax my vigilance, it is really looking down on people.

Ignoring his flattery, I winked at Emily, which meant you go back first and I'll deal with it here.

Emily was already waiting impatiently, but she was worried that I would need her help, so she stayed by the side. When she saw that I had spoken, she naturally turned around and entered the tree house without hesitation.

Green Wilder's eyes seemed to have met the iron of a magnet. He kept glancing at Emily. When the latter's figure disappeared into the tree house, he came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva, and looked at her. He glanced around and whispered in a consultative tone: "Elder, there are some things I hope to discuss with you in the secret room."

"Why?" I asked puzzled.

"Because...it's not appropriate to treat people with outsiders."

"Then don't say it." I waved my hand: "I don't want to hear it anyway, and I'm not interested either."

Green Wilder didn't expect that I would do this. He stared at the door of the tree house eagerly, with a slightly bitter look on his face, and hesitantly said: "Is this how the elders treat guests?"

"How to treat guests?" I frowned: "What way to treat guests?"

"Well, I, I am your guest."

"Are you a guest?" I chuckled: "Are you kidding? Did I invite you over? And did I welcome you over?"

Shaking my head, I sighed softly and said: "You and I are just strangers, and we are strangers with a relatively bad relationship. Why should I treat you as a guest? Why do you ask me to treat you as a guest? Do you think you can?" If you come here with a few boxes and a few thugs, can you threaten me and force me to treat you as a guest? Are you still awake? Or are you dreaming? "

Green Wilder's face turned red. He coughed heavily and said, "Elder An Xiaoyi, please restrain yourself. I came here with good intentions."

"Is your goodwill just to ask for help?" Leaning against the door, I crossed my arms and said coldly, "If so, please take back this goodwill. I can't bear it."
