Monarch of Evernight: Eighty-Four One Night
bsp;Qianye stared at Qiqi quietly and did not answer.
Qiqi’s eyes moved to the tall shadow on the ground, and she couldn’t help but think of the first time she saw this overly beautiful young man in the study room of the Yin Family Courtyard. Although he looked a bit sharp at that time, he was actually a sharp figure who had seen blood. He is still a shy and easy-to-talk big kid. When did he start to lose control? Or is it just her illusion that she was able to control it in the first place?
Qiqi raised her head, showed her face and said: “Okay, let’s not talk about such unpleasant topics! What do you want the ‘Punch Fist’ for? It is mounted on a large force gun, and the ‘Twin Flowers’ are Cannot be used.”
Qianye said: “Don’t you think the Yin family owes me an eagle strike?”
Qiqi was startled, and the look in her eyes gradually dimmed. After a moment, she sighed and said half-heartedly: “I understand, you must leave. I… I won’t say anything anymore, go to sleep. ! ”
Qiqi stood up, walked to the bedroom, and said without hesitation: “Come here, stay with me, this is your last order!” Her tone became domineering and wanton again.
Qianye followed Qiqi to the bedroom, ready to sleep on the soft couch in the corner of the room like he had done several times in the past. Unexpectedly, Qiqi suddenly patted the bed and said with a half-smile: “Come up!”
Qianye was slightly startled, looked at her inquiringly, then took off his coat and went directly to Qiqi’s bed.
His movement startled Qiqi, and she shrank inside to make room. Qiqi looked at Qianye’s calm profile and couldn’t help but ask: “Why are you so brave all of a sudden? Or are you…”
Qianye turned sideways, reached out and touched her hair, and said with a smile: “Why not? What do I need to be afraid of?”
Qiqi couldn’t help but froze there, feeling a little confused for a moment. Even if Qianye didn’t know it clearly when he first took over the mission, after so many things happened later, he should have understood that he was just a chess piece placed on the table to attract hatred.
In fact, the effect of Qianye’s mission was beyond Qiqi’s expectation. Gu Liyu may have solved Qiqi’s provocations in this regard too easily in the past, but he actually carried out the 131st company as if he was dizzy. Although the incident seemed to have subsided quietly, how could a plan involving so many links leave no trace at all.
Besides, on many levels, you don’t really need evidence to do something. This is true for the one who sets the trap, and it is certainly true for the one who breaks the trap. Therefore, even if Qiqi failed to do anything to Gu Liyu in the end, the people on that line who were colluding with him overtly or covertly were almost completely removed by Ji Yuanjia afterwards. If it were not considered that the impact would be too large, the damage would be done. For the overall benefit of the Yin family, more can be done than this.
Ji Yuanjia originally accumulated military merit and was promoted in the 17th Army Corps. With his abilities and skills, he now has the potential to be the leader of the officers of the Yin family faction. His position within the Yin family is self-evident. This way, if Qiqi wants to continue to develop in the military with the Seventeenth Legion as the cornerstone, she will have much greater freedom and will be less constrained by the family and Gu Liyu.
But the trigger of the incident, Qianye, is still alive and well. Even if there is no hatred but just for the sake of face, he will be the target of Gu Liyu and those involved in the Yin family to get rid of him quickly. In this case, what else does he need to be afraid of?
Qiqi was silent for a long time, as if talking to herself or explaining, and said softly: “I have tried many ways, but I can’t get rid of this engagement. And the Yin family… a family like the Yin family, I value reputation and trust more than anything else. Breaking off the engagement would be more serious for my father than killing him. So I found one ‘lover’ after another. , unfortunately, it is of no use unless, I…”
Qiqi suddenly shuddered, and she felt vaguely that it was not fear of the unknown things that would happen next, but rather a vague expectation.
“Even if you really sleep with many men, he will not break off the engagement.” Qianye’s voice came from the top of Qiqi’s head, and the breath so close to her was clearly hot, but Qiqi shuddered. For a moment.
Qianye’s hand touched Qiqi’s hair again, and then reached out to turn off the light, plunging the entire bedroom into oppressive darkness. His voice sounded coldly in the silence of the room, “Go to sleep. I said, don’t do things you can’t afford.”
After a long time, both people’s breathing became very calm, as if they were about to fall asleep. Qiqi’s voice sounded, as soft as a dream, with a hint of vulnerability that would never occur during the day.
“I know, you hate me. You feel unsafe, and the knife seems to be stabbed from your side at any time. But I am the same, I have never felt safe, ever since my mother passed away…you I don’t understand what it’s like to have your brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts all want to kill you all the time when you’re very young. I did a lot of weird things, and I know what others are doing. Look at me, but only in that way can I not think about those things…” Qiqi’s voice revealed a hint of pain.
Qianye listened quietly. The chaos in the Yin family has been around for a long time. It may have started as early as twenty years ago through the marriage with a branch of the Song clan, or even earlier. There is a price to pay for taking advantage of the situation. There is no reason to marry someone else’s daughter but throw their granddaughter into a marriage with a noble family.
He just has no experience in family affairs, but he is not stupid. Moreover, Song Zining’s character never does boring things. She had covered him up so tightly when she rescued him at the hunting ground, but later she approached him without hiding from others. In addition to wanting to get out of the engagement, she was probably also warning Qiqi. . Think about it, since then, Qiqi has never asked him to go to social events with her.
The battle for the heir of the Yin family has reached a point where everyone is baring their **** fangs. To be able to intervene in a situation like Tianxuan Spring Hunt, to pay such a price, and to take such risks shows that the hands behind the scenes are in a hurry. To what extent. A child of a noble family like Qiqi actually has his own misfortunes and helplessness compared to him who grew up in a garbage dump.
“I don’t hate you.” Qianye said calmly: “You have done more than what you need to do, such as the 60th Division, such as support on the hunting ground.”
Qiqi smiled very softly, her voice seemed a little strange, but if you listened carefully it seemed to be normal again. “But for you, this is still a deal with slightly better conditions…”
Because it was just a transaction from the beginning. But Qianye didn’t speak this time.
In the darkness, Qiqi suddenly came over, snuggled into Qianye’s arms, moved a little, found a comfortable position, and then curled up like a frightened kitten.
Qianye never thought that this woman who was always like a burning fire would have such a side. Perhaps this is the reality hidden beneath her bohemian appearance. Qianye raised his hand and hugged her.
Qiqi didn’t move or speak anymore.
The two people cuddled up like this, feeling warmth, safety and dependence from each other’s body temperature, and then fell asleep.
Tomorrow, when tomorrow comes, it will all be over.
In this vast world illuminated by distant stars, with so many continents and billions of creatures, two people placed among them are even more inconspicuous than two grains of fine sand in the sea. In this dark sea, two grains of sand drifting with the current, once separated, no one knows how long it will take to see each other again.
Maybe separation is forever.
Qianye left Qiqi’s bedroom early the next morning, but many people in the inner courtyard, including the maid, knew that Qianye stayed in Qiqi’s room for the night. While cleaning the room, several maids also saw traces of two people sleeping on the bed. It won’t be long before the news reaches many people.
At noon, Qianye received all the rewards from Spring Hunt. Except for the ‘Punch Fist’ and ‘Shining Light Fang’, he chose empire gold coins for the rest, and did not choose materials such as potions. One of the deacons who brought the things asked him curiously why he chose a vampire weapon or a short sword.
Qianye told him truthfully that for the sake of portability, it was also easy to cash out in the underlying continent. Then the expression on the deacon’s face became very strange. Maybe few people in the past would say so directly that they wanted to sell the reward.
In the afternoon, Qiqi and the Yin family team finally left the Weiguo Gongyuan. The next few days were filled with non-stop aerostat flights. As the black void outside the porthole faded, the outline of the Evernight Continent appeared in Qianye’s field of vision.
Back at the Yin Family Courtyard, Qianye began to pack his luggage. All of his stuff is simple, with not much clutter aside from an assortment of weapons. But he couldn’t leave right away. Qiqi had customized an Eagle Strike for him and it hadn’t been delivered yet.
In the next few days, Qiqi never looked for Qianye again, and he stayed at home. In addition to practicing every day, he integrated the combat experience gained in this spring hunt. He witnessed several duels of secret combat skills from real families, and learned many Force control techniques that he didn’t understand before. Even without the mental secrets, many principles were still the same.
What inspired Qianye the most was that besides the battle with Zhao Junhong, it was the three duels between Wei Potian and Song Zining. Wei Potian’s boxing style is unpretentious, as simple and strong as the military fighting skills driven by the military battle. However, the last time he produced the effect of blocking the space, it reminded Qianye that he seemed to be in the battle with Ye Mulan. He also inadvertently blocked Ye Mulan’s dodge route with a quick punch.
In the discussion with Song Zining, Qianye already understood that the reason why the secret combat skills are strong enough, in addition to various special attributes, is that after breaking through the generals, they will have the ability to affect certain areas, as he saw The ‘Three Thousand Floating Leaves Jue’ has the terrifying ability to isolate the outside world. So if his idea is correct, does it mean that Bingbing Jue can actually be used as a combat skill?
On the afternoon of the fourth day, when Qianye came out of the virtual fighting system, a brand new Eagle Strike was delivered to his hands.
This Eagle Strike is also a modified product, its power is 20% greater than the prototype, and its range has been extended by 200 meters. Accompanying the eagle strike were two senior craftsmen from the Yin family. They took away the ‘Punch Fist’, which was only the size of a fingernail and looked like a crystal clear piece, and prepared to load it on the Eagle Strike.
The power of the eagle attack will be increased by about 20% when equipped with the ‘Punch Fist’. This level 6 tactical accessory is actually an atomic array. Another valuable aspect of it is that if the main body is not damaged It can be loaded repeatedly, and it will be completely scrapped after three times.
At nightfall, Qianye got the heavy attack version of Eagle Strike. He was very satisfied after testing several parameters. The power of this new gun reaches eighteen, which means that the power of one shot is roughly equivalent to the concentrated fire of eighteen first-level firearms. This kind of power is already on par with a level five sniper rifle, but the force consumption is still the original standard.
With Qianye’s current force strength, he can fire five or six shots in a battle without sucking blood. With his two special abilities of ‘heavy warhead’ and ‘accurate shooting’, as well as special force bombs, he is believed to be able to severely damage level six dark race warriors with one blow. Coupled with the coverage area of 1,200 meters by Eagle Strike, Qianye has been able to control the local battlefield of a small battle.
Qianye looked at the luggage in the corner of the room. The moonlight fell on it through the window, casting a strange crimson color on the gray-green backpack. It’s another crimson moon night. This unique celestial phenomenon also clearly reminds people of the eternal night in an abandoned land.
At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Ji Yuanjia’s voice came from outside, “Qianye, can I come in?”
“Of course.”
ps: Congratulations to Young Master Yan Xuan for being promoted to Silver Alliance Leader. I heard that you have been in a bad mood these past two days. What I want to say is to seize the moment.
Just like Qianye, he is actually a protagonist with many shortcomings, especially in terms of human relations and sophistication. But his friends such as Song Zining secretly gave him a helping hand. He accepted, understood, and reflected on himself instead of hating himself.
This is how young people grow up, let those who love you rest assured!
