Chapter 23 - Chapter 22: Make the best of a mistake! A beautiful misunderstanding

Xia's concerns are not without reason. If Chen Rui really sides with Prince Obsidian, not only will the truth of today's challenge be revealed, but the inherited power of the grandmaster will make Obsidian even more powerful, and Dark Moon will be even more unable to compete with him.

She originally wanted to warn Chen Rui, but as she spoke, she became a little uncertain, and her murderous intent gradually became stronger. Judging from the incident of Obsidian sending Sandru, the current situation is already quite bad, and no more negligence is allowed. Just like what my father once taught me, it can't be used by me, and it can't be used by the enemy!

Chen Rui never dreamed that things would turn out like this, and shouted: "Wait! If I want to betray, why didn't I leave with those people in the imperial capital?"

"Maybe you got some kind of promise and want to stay as an insider."

This reasoning is too strong, the sisters are so cruel! Seeing the murderous aura getting more and more fierce, Chen Rui quickly defended himself: "As the successor of the Grand Master, I will definitely be valued by Prince Obsidian if I go to the imperial capital! Why do you want to stay as an insider?"

Xia sneered: "Yes, if that's the case, why do you still stay?"

Chen Rui was speechless for a moment. According to this statement, if you see the situation clearly and still stay, what else can you be but a fool?

Do you really have to tell all the truth? That might be a more miserable death, including Pagliu, it will all be over.

"Yeah, in this case, why should I stay?" Chen Rui tried to find an excuse while delaying, "Princess, don't you find it strange?"

This tension could not be hidden from the sharp eyes of the iceberg queen, Xia was more certain that he had a problem. The boiling water in the pond rose higher and higher, and the appearance of a giant beast was faintly revealed. The pressure Chen Rui felt was getting greater and greater. This move must be a shocking killing move. Not to mention that he did not have the inheritance power of the grandmaster to bless him, even if he did, he would probably die.

Super system, damn delay! Unscrupulous Space-Time Administration!

"Princess! Don't force me!" Chen Rui knew it was a life-and-death moment, and he shouted with all his strength, "There is something I didn't want to say, but now I can only make it clear!"

After thinking about it, he could only threaten Alice's "poisoning", but in this way, the poisonous dragon would be exposed. Judging from the dilemma of the poisonous dragon being sealed now, the result is likely to be worse, but if he didn't say it, he would die immediately.

As expected, the beast stopped in the air, still silent. Chen Rui took out the small leather bag and said loudly: "First of all, I want to make one thing clear. Master Kemp is indeed trying to win me over today, and even invited me to return to the imperial capital with him. The purpose is to get the formula that poisoned Sandru. Although the formula is fake, the Grand Master's inheritance is real. I can go, but I didn't!" "I swear, I will never betray the princess! I will never leave Dark Moon!" This decisive tone moved Xia, and he began to think deeply. If this is the case, what is the purpose of this human staying? With the wisdom he showed in the Master Challenge, why would he do such a stupid thing? "If I tell you about what's going to happen next, the princess might hate me to the core." Chen Rui felt that the pressure around him was much less, but he estimated that it would be more intense later. He smiled bitterly and tried to make his words more tactful: "This kind of thing is like... just like some emotions, they come out of nowhere and can't be controlled at all... Things have to start from when I..."

Xia seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes became more and more strange. Just when Chen Rui gritted his teeth and was about to tell her about the incident at Lanbo Lake, she suddenly said: "Wait! Don't say it!"

The murderous aura around him suddenly disappeared, the water surface gradually calmed down, and the moonlight returned to its lavender coldness.

Xia's sudden change of attitude was far beyond Chen Rui's expectations: "Princess..."

Xia showed a bit of anger: "Don't say it! Don't have such delusions in the future."

Delusion? It was obviously a threat, but the strange thing was that the threat had not been spoken yet?

This unexpected turn of events made Chen Rui's mind unable to turn around for a while, "This..."

"Chen Rui, listen to me," Xia's breathing gradually evened out, and she said calmly: "It was my fault to misunderstand you today. I express my most sincere apologies to you. I promised that when you achieve a certain achievement, I will give you Jia. As for me... and you, it is impossible. If you stay for this, I am very sorry."

When Chen Rui heard the last sentence, he thought of his gaffe when he first met Xia, and the dark elf's meaningful advice when he left the palace, and finally understood what Xia misunderstood.

A wonderful misunderstanding!

It came too timely!

Thanks to the powerful reasoning skills of the Lucifer family! Otherwise, it would be all over!

Since this is the case, of course, she can't be stupid enough to say something threatening. Now the best way is to make the best of a mistake and further consolidate the impression of her admirer in her heart, so as not to be suspicious again.

Chen Rui secretly felt lucky, but his face showed a heavy expression: "I should be the one to say sorry. I am just a human being, a weak person without any power, but I have brought such trouble to His Highness. Today, I am not sure about Sandru's last soul-eating poison. The Grand Master's divine thoughts are not omnipotent. I have thought that I might die... But at that moment, I suddenly felt that the farthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death. It is that I stand in front of you, but you don't know that I am..."

"Don't say it anymore!" Xia's eyes were cold: "I will only say it once. If you dare to say such words again, you will die! If you dare to have such thoughts again, you will die! If what I said today is spread out, you will die!"

Xia's words were murderous, but compared with the real murderous intent before, it was just a kind of cowardice. Chen Rui felt that her heart was a little confused. His goal had been achieved, and of course he would not touch Xia's bottom line again.

Xia's cold eyes gradually became lonely, and a cold voice came: "Go, before I change my mind."

Chen Rui, who had been observing the expressions of others, breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had finally passed the test, but in his heart he cursed the designer of the super system: The farthest distance in the world is not that I stand in front of the queen, but the queen doesn't know that I like her, but that there are still seven or eight hours before the damn super system starts!

Once this distance is crossed, hum, when the super system explodes, underwear is worn outside, flying into the sky and hiding in the ground, no matter how powerful the queen is, she will kneel down and sing "Conquer".

"Whether you continue to stay in Dark Moon City or leave in the future, you decide for yourself, I don't intend to stop you anymore."

Xia's voice made Chen Rui pause, and when he looked back, Xia had turned his back and faced the pond. The back was still graceful, but it felt more like a lonely figure. Chen Rui suddenly felt dazed, it turned out that behind the strong was a deep loneliness.

"Stay." Chen Rui took a deep breath and said softly, not knowing whether he was answering her or reminding himself, and then walked out.

Xia stared at the water motionlessly, just like when he first came, still lonely and lonely.

As soon as he returned to the laboratory, the dark elf master who had been in the limelight today scolded him severely. When he thought of the scene of performing poison Qigong under the gaze of millions of eyes, Aldass couldn't help but want to poison this guy who came up with a bad idea. The problem was that even Sandru's poison couldn't do anything to Chen Rui, so this impulse could only rot in his heart.

However, the dark elves in shame and anger were much easier to deal with than Xia. Chen Rui explained the cause of Sandru's death without much effort. Although Aldass was indignant at the human master, he was more grateful to him for killing Sandru. The only regret was that the soul-eating poison had been completely gone and could not be studied.

At night, Chen Rui still didn't fall asleep, but was waiting for the super system to start.

Time passed minute by minute, and just when Chen Rui's eyelids were heavy and he couldn't help dozing off, a "ding" reminder finally came from his mind.

(Refine the spirit and return to emptiness! The Nascent Soul is perfected! The Immortal Sword is unsheathed, and all the swords return to the sect! Prince Obsidian is dead. The Blood Evil and the Shadow Empire are destroyed. The queen, loli, demon, and violent woman are all included in the harem! Unify the demon world, and no one dares to disobey. The above plot is purely fantasy. If there is any similarity, it is absolutely impossible.)

The real scene is-"The super system has been activated, do you want to enter?"

Chen Rui suddenly lost all sleepiness and immediately confirmed: "Yes."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Rui's mind "boomed" and a strange scene appeared.

There was no sky, no earth, and it was gray everywhere. Chen Rui's consciousness floated in it for a while, feeling that this endless three-dimensional space had no life or vitality, and was full of strange silence.

Is this the long-awaited super system?

A prompt sounded: 100 initial spiritual energy has been obtained, which meets the requirements for activating the Star God Temple. Do you want to activate it?

Star God Temple? The name seems to be acceptable. Chen Rui confirmed with hope: "Yes!"

The surrounding scene changed again. Chen Rui was already in front of a hall. The style of this hall was simple and quaint. The misty mist was shining with star-like light, exuding a mysterious and beautiful temperament.

This hall seemed to be suspended in that space. Looking down from the stairs, there was a wonderful feeling of overlooking the entire space.

Chen Rui just wanted to go inside the Star God Temple to take a look, and he was instantly in the hall. It seems that the "operation" of the super system is very user-friendly. There is no need for a keyboard, mouse or helmet. Just chant.

The space in the hall is wider than you can imagine. The huge relief columns and the uniform square floor are magnificent. However, the whole hall is empty. There is nothing else except an ancient throne in the center.

Chen Rui sat down in front of the throne, feeling that the hall was transparent, and he could clearly see the space outside.

At this time, a strange light flashed, and two ultra-thin screens appeared in front of him.
