Chapter 47 - Playing Hard to Get

Ron used a very famous battle strategy in ancient China on Earth, "Playing Hard to Get". As for whether it has an effect, he himself is not sure.

But there is no other way. If you can't become friends with others first, it is very difficult to trade for valuable things.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that when he was on the ship, Bette clearly wanted to do business with him, but had to talk about other things in a roundabout way first.

"Originally, Bette was testing me at that time, but what did he find out?"

Ron carefully recalled what he had said that day and found that he hadn't expressed any strong opinions!

While thinking all the way, Ron unknowingly returned to the territory.

When he walked into the study, he saw Christie drinking coffee leisurely.

Seeing that Christie had been extremely busy these days and it was rare for her to have free time, so Ron was ready to fulfill last night's promise.

"Dear, I see that there is time now. How about I teach you unarmed combat?"

As soon as Christie heard this, her eyes widened immediately: "Now? Here? Are you sure? Didn't I give it to you twelve times last night?"

There was a hint of shyness in Christie's voice, but her eyes were full of expectation.

Ron was immediately extremely frustrated. He really didn't understand what was wrong with his expression. Why did Christie always think in that direction?

To avoid any more ambiguity, this time he decided to take action directly.

So, he walked directly in front of Christie, a little red light appeared on his fingertip. Before Christie could react, he pointed it at her glabella.

The red light disappeared into the glabella, and Christie immediately covered her chest. Her face twisted and she looked like she was having difficulty breathing. Then she slumped on the chair.

She said with difficulty: "R...on..., wh...at... ha...ve... yo...u... do...ne...?"

Ron watched Christie collapse. Although he was worried, he didn't go to help her.

Because at this time, you must absolutely not touch the other person's body, otherwise it will add burden to the other person.

He only said softly beside her: "Dear, don't worry. This is a skill I obtained after awakening Qi Force. It can pass on skills to others."

"Now relax your body. Don't breathe actively. Let the subconscious take over breathing. It will be fine soon. Trust me, relax! Relax!"

Ron had experienced the pain of [Breathing Control] and knew how to adjust. He tried hard to comfort Christie.

Christie seemed to have listened. The expression on her face gradually relaxed and her breathing gradually became stable.

Seeing that everything was getting better, but Christie's breathing suddenly began to weaken rapidly, as if on the verge of death.

Seeing this, Ron was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help Christie up and prepare for first aid.

At this moment, Christie suddenly had a mischievous smirk on her face as if a scheme had succeeded. Then she suddenly got up, grabbed Ron's right hand with both hands, leaned back, and gave him a judo throw.

"Bang!" Ron slammed heavily on the floor, raising dust all over the place.

Christie clapped her hands with a smile, looking very proud.

"It's so amazing! It really can be done!"

"Ouch! My waist!" Ron lay on the ground, holding his waist, looking in great pain.

When Christie was feeling proud and saw that she had hurt Ron, she hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"Sorry, I just wanted to try. I didn't expect to hurt you!" As soon as her hand touched Ron, Ron also quickly grabbed her hand, bent at the waist and got up, and also gave her a judo throw.

However, how could Ron bear to throw Christie on the ground?

He just turned Christie around on his back and then hugged her into his arms, then stared at her with a mischievous smile.

"How is it! My dear wife, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

When Ron spoke, there was a flash of love and appreciation in his eyes, and his voice was full of tenderness and pride.

Christie put her arms around Ron's neck and kissed him on the face.

"Thank you, dear! I seem to have suddenly mastered countless unarmed combat skills. And I feel full of vitality. A warm current is constantly washing up and down my body. It's very comfortable."

"Is this true? Ron, is my feeling real?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Since it's true, why didn't you tell me clearly and had to sneak attack?" Christie blamed with a mischievous smile.

"Uh..." Ron had a hard time explaining.

"Okay, dear, I won't make it difficult for you. Let's go! Accompany me to the beach to practice combat!"

"Okay!"

...

The two of them practiced all day long. They didn't even have lunch in the middle.

Because Ron's strength was far greater than Christie's, he was afraid of hurting the other party, so he didn't dare to use any strength at all and could only be passively beaten.

His clothes were full of sand from being thrown by Christie, and he was covered in bruises from being beaten.

However, he didn't mind.

This little injury was nothing to him at all. As long as Christie had fun.

When it was almost dark, the two of them returned to the ship together.

Just when Ron was about to take a hot bath, Golden Head let out a scream.

Ron listened and smiled slightly: "It's here so soon!"

So he didn't take a bath and took Christie with him and walked down the ship. They stood quietly by the ship and waited.

Christie didn't know what was going on and asked, "Ron, what's going on?"

"Waiting for an important guest! Later, please show the demeanor of a hostess and entertain this guest well for me. She is very important!"

Just as the two were talking, a girl rode a big black panther and slowly emerged from the forest in front of the territory.

As soon as Christie saw it, her pupils constricted and she couldn't help but exclaim.

At this time, remembering that Ron was by her side, there was no need to panic.

She took another look at Ron and found that he was smiling and looking at the girl, looking calm and composed.

Out of the upbringing of a noble, she knew that she must be calm at this time. So she also imitated Ron's appearance and waited for the other party to come with a smile.

The girl came to the territory, jumped off the black panther nimbly, and then patted the black panther's neck.

The black panther licked the girl's hand, turned around and disappeared into the forest.

And the girl came straight towards Ron and Christie alone.

Ron said with a smile to the girl who was slowly approaching: "Welcome, my dear friend, Miss Freyr!"

The girl walked up to Ron, lifted her hood, revealing her slightly pointed ears, and replied with a smile:

"Sorry to disturb you, Lord Ron, Miss Christie!"

As soon as Christie saw those slightly pointed ears, she was stunned for a moment. But she immediately realized that this girl was an elf.

At the same time, she asked curiously: "You know me?"

"Yes!" Freyr smiled: "You have a good husband! Please forgive my sudden visit. If possible, can we go in and talk? I'm really too cold!"

Saying that, Freyr stretched out her red hands from the cold and smiled awkwardly at Christie.

"Of course!" Christie immediately reacted: "Please follow me. There is a warm stove inside!"

Saying that, Christie led Freyr into the sterncastle.

Ron followed silently behind the two without saying a word. When passing the deck, he gave Golden Head a hard look.

Because Freyr would say "You have a good husband", it means that she has already arrived. And she has been watching him and Christie practice combat in the forest all day.

And this Golden Head knew that the other party was coming but didn't tell him.

It wasn't until the other party wanted to come out that it notified him. Obviously, it didn't figure out who its master was.

And Golden Head, who was eating fish in large mouthfuls, suddenly felt a murderous aura. Looking up, it found that it was Ron. The corner of its mouth curled up like a human.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp?" (What can you do to me?)

...
