Xingqiong: Cocolia is pregnant, making Banya cry.

I drank two cups of hot tea in the bookstore.

Xiluwa stood up to say goodbye, and before leaving, she invited Ji Chen to attend her rock concert the next morning.

The song was exactly "Three Days and Three Nights".

Watching the slender figure disappear into the commercial street.

Ji Chen shook his head, turned around, picked up a recliner, and basked in the warm sun in front of the door.

"Power of Nothingness +1."

"Exploration power +1."

......

Fort Clipper.

Office of the Grand Keeper.

Cocolia watched Commander Bronya, Guard Officer Jeppard, Intelligence Officer Pera and others leave one after another.

Then he sat back in the chair somewhat tiredly, with his fingers slightly bent and his chin supported by one hand.

There was a hint of lazy thought in the purple eyes.

The eighth Great Guardian, [The Fool] Shirley, was sidelined by the nobles because of her young age and mediocrity. The nobles embezzled resources and held power in their own hands.

That period was the darkest moment after the war.

Cocolia would certainly not repeat the same mistake. She was confident that she could control these nobles, and even suppress them with iron-blooded force.

But now Beloberg can no longer withstand a great turmoil.

Any rash action will only make the situation worse.

The appearance of Ji Chen is an opportunity.

She believed that Ji Chen, who had eliminated the rift in an instant, would not let her down.

Think of this.

Cocolia stood up and wanted to go to the bookshelf to get a research book on the rift phenomenon.

As she took a step, something seemed to affect her, causing her brows to frown and an expression of pain appeared on her cold and noble face.

Immediately her pretty face turned red, and she gritted her teeth and cursed: That bastard, he has no mercy on women at all.

He exhaled a breath of fragrance.

Cocolia walked to the bookshelf with unusual steps and took out a thick book.

He sat back in the Great Guardian's chair and began to read the book carefully.

She had already arranged everything Ji Chen asked her to do.

There is only one last crucial step left, and that is to wait until night falls.

In the office, the only sound was the quiet flipping of books.

Great Guardian.

The hereditary title of the ruler of Beloberg, the one who looks after all his subjects.

But people don't know that they have no one to look after them or protect them.

Unconsciously, Ji Chen's figure had become an arm that the cold, arrogant and majestic Cocolia could rely on.

......

It's approaching noon.

Ji Chen lay on the recliner and lazily took off the book covering his head.

I looked at the sun and felt a little hungry, so I planned to make some lunch for myself.

But before he stood up, he saw a figure not far away, walking slowly towards him with a complicated expression.

It was the next Grand Guardian, Cocolia's successor, the leader of the Silvermane Guard, Bronya.

She was chosen to be the successor since she was young, and she has a natural noble temperament.

The blue and white military uniform outlines the perfect and seductive curves.

The deep and mysterious black area under the high-slit long skirt makes people curious and want to take a look at the scenery.

Her perfect appearance is no less than Cocolia's, what she lacks may just be a hint of maturity.

But it also has its own unique youthfulness and tenderness.

Bronya didn't know why she came back.

After the secret meeting at Klippeburg, I ended up here somehow.

Looking at the extremely lazy figure basking in the sun on the lounge chair, his expression was full of complexity.

I don’t know how to call this friend who grew up with me in an orphanage from now on.

result......

When Ji Chen saw Bronya, he opened his arms enthusiastically: "My dear daughter is here, come and give daddy a hug."

"Go to hell!!"

Bronya gritted her teeth, raised her beautiful legs in boots, and kicked over the recliner.

Ji Chen cried out and fell to the ground.

Seeing Bronya's cold face, he could only helplessly get up and shake off the dirt on his body.

I don't mind.

The two have been friends since childhood and are used to touching each other.

"Humph! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue!"

Bronya didn't know where she got so much courage from. When she saw Ji Chen's look, she wanted to step on him.

With a cold snort, she swung her skirt and turned to leave.

"Hey, it's already noon, how about having a meal before leaving?"

The steps stopped.

After hesitating for a moment, Bronya frowned, walked past Ji Chen without saying a word, and entered the bookstore.

......

Lunch was simple.

It's just bread, sausage, and some vegetables.

Bronya, however, ate very seriously, taking small bites.

Ji Chen is one year older than her.

She was only five years old when she was adopted by an old couple at the age of six.

Little Ji Chen often sneaked back to the downtown area to bring her the food he had hidden.

Two small figures, hiding in a place where no one can find them, face to face, eating delicious sausages.

As she grew up, this became Bronya's favorite food.

Had lunch.

Put away the dishes.

The anger in Bronya's heart also disappeared a lot.

Even so, when he saw Ji Chen's stinky face, he couldn't help but want to kick him.

How did this bastard become his...

Even in name only!

Ji Chen also felt a little guilty.

We agreed to grow up together, but you secretly became my father.

I can understand Bronya's desire to kill someone.

With a light cough, Ji Chen tactfully did not mention the matter.

Looking at Bronya who was sitting by the window, squinting her eyes and basking in the golden sunlight, he said:

"You must be looking for me today for something, right?"

Bronya opened her eyes and looked at Ji Chen quietly for a moment. After a long time, she opened her lips and said, "Can you really clean up those rifts outside?"

"What, you don't believe it?"

Ji Chen smiled and took a sip of tea, with a hint of mystery in his laughter.

"City builders and scientists of all generations have worked hard to study the rift phenomenon, but they still have no clues."

"Shiluwa, who is known as a scientific genius, also studied for several years but could not find any solution. That's why he gave up and left the Iron Guard and opened the perpetual motion machine shop. Can you really... do it?"

Bronya didn't know whether she should believe Ji Chen, but she always felt that there was no need for him to lie to her.

"Want to know?"

Ji Chen raised the corner of his mouth, with a hint of seduction in his voice.

"Yeah." Bronya nodded slightly.

"Then it's the same as usual, you know."

Ji Chen's eyes fell on Bronya's graceful body leaning lazily against the window.

I couldn't help but lick the corner of my lips.

Snapped!

Bronya raised her leg and kicked Ji Chen on the chair.

She didn't realize at all that her beauty was exposed.

He snorted and stood up and walked out of the bookstore. A voice came from afar:

"Don't be so stubborn. I don't want to see anything happen to you."

The lingering fragrance in the air seemed to tell Ji Chen that their owner cared about him.

Ji Chen smiled, put down his teacup, yawned and walked into the steaming courtyard behind the bookstore.

......

boom--!

"You swing your hammer, and your protective power increases by 1."

"Exploration power +1."

boom--!

"You swing your hammer, and your protective power increases by 1."

"Exploration power +1."

......

Ji Chen was shirtless, revealing his slender muscles that were usually hidden by clothes.

Holding the hammer tightly in his hand, he struck a black iron sword with a steady rhythm onto the blazing furnace.
