Soul Map·Dragon's Breath

The butler Denton originally wanted to ask His Royal Highness Okas if he wanted to have afternoon tea in the garden, but from a distance, he saw their Highness who was calm and serious due to the influence of the soul attribute, and even a little indifferent, so intimately with him. The commoner kid walks and talks.Although His Highness's expression was as serious as ever, Denton could see some signs at a glance.He waved to the servants behind him to let everyone back down, and Denton also backed away quietly, not disturbing the [sweet] two.

Denton is a commoner, and His Royal Highness Orcas, who is the most handsome and charming among them, actually found a commoner boy as a partner. Denton's mood is extraordinarily complicated. Descendants of His Royal Highness Orcas.Although the empire does not prohibit same-sex marriage, same-sex means no offspring!

For the time being, the problem of future generations does not need Orcas to worry about, let alone Xia Qi.He just told himself over and over again that he and Okas were close partners, so he didn't dare to think about it elsewhere.Don't think that he likes to mislead others, but when it's her turn, he doesn't even dare to think about it. The other party is Orcas. The cruel blows of the past ten years have long made Xia Qi forget that he was once a person who was loved by everyone. , The flowers are blooming, the beautiful man who opened the lid when he saw the coffin, uh, a beautiful boy...

Walking in the back garden until sunset, Orcas took Xia Qi's hand and went to the restaurant for dinner.After dinner, Orcas took Xia Qi out of the other palace.The other palace is still some distance away from the center of the main city.

When Orcas appeared at the door of Versailles' auction house in Candala, holding Xia Qi's hand.Many nobles who came here quickly recognized the identity of Orcas.And seeing him holding a civilian boy, everyone was very surprised.

Orcas held Xia Qi's hand indifferently and followed the instructions of the Versailles auction house to the box. He met the nobles who saluted him along the way, and he only nodded slightly. In this case, Orcas is the Opa Empire. The well-deserved Third Highness, the next king of the empire, his words and deeds revealed the prince's dignity and inaccessible alienation.

Many aristocratic ladies who came to the auction house crowded around to introduce themselves to Orcas. Orcas held Xia Qi's hand tightly and led him upstairs without saying a word, leaving behind a lot of shattered crystals. Heart and everyone's curiosity——Who is that commoner boy!

As soon as he entered the box, Xia Qi patted his chest straight: [Phew, I think if I come in later, I will be destroyed by those women's eyes. ]

A smile flashed in Orcas' eyes, and he asked: [Do you want some fruit? ]

[Do you have a belt? ]

The deacon who brought Orcas and the others in immediately said: [Fruits and drinks will be delivered immediately. ]

Xia Qi rolled his eyes and asked: [I want a big pot of boiling water and a tea set, is that okay]

[Please wait a moment, it will be delivered right away. ]

After the deacon bowed and saluted, he immediately went out to send someone to deliver fruit and tea sets.

Orcas asked curiously: [What to do]

Xia Qi's eyes curved, [Secret. ]

Okas still rubbed his chess-playing head and stopped asking.

The deacon quickly delivered fruits, drinks, a large pot of boiling water and a set of tea sets that Xia Qi asked for. Xia Qi went to the sink in the box to wash his hands, and then asked Orcas for a knife to cut the fruit.After cutting the fruit, Shaki took out the flower buds he picked in the garden during his walk in the afternoon from his ring, put them into two teacups, rinsed them with hot water first, and made a cup of scented tea for himself and Orcas .

[Senior Okas, try it. ] Putting the cup in front of Orcas, Xia Qi said: [This is scented tea, if it is brewed from dried flowers, it will be more fragrant. ]

Otas picked up the cup, and the obvious floral fragrance wafted out with the steam. He blew on it, took a sip slowly, then put down the cup and said: [The queen mother will definitely like it. ]

[Then I will pick a little more tomorrow and dry them into dried flowers. ] Xia Qi picked up the cup, took a sip with satisfaction and said: [Actually, I prefer scented tea or tea with a bit of bitter taste. ]

[bitterness? ] Okas raises an eyebrow.

[Well, bitter, but addictive. ] Xia Qi looked at Orcas and nodded, [That kind of bitter tea is the most suitable for the temperament of Orcas senior.I just don't know if I can find it.If I can find it, I will definitely recommend it to my seniors. ]

[I am looking forward. ] Okas takes another sip from his glass.Not as sweet as their usual drink, but with a floral scent, it tastes good.

[If more chocolate chip cookies or a piece of matcha cake...] Shaggy licks his lips, fantasizing.

Without asking what chocolate biscuits and matcha cakes are, Orcas followed Shaqi’s words: [And your hot pot restaurant and dessert shop. ]

Xia Qi immediately smiled deeply, [It belongs to Her Majesty the Queen, I feel that there are a lot of things to do! ]

[Take your time, don't rush. ]

[Um! ]

In front of Orcas, Xia Qi was not restrained at all, and he could say whatever came to his mind without worrying about the other party's suspicion or questioning.Perhaps, this is the main reason why Orcas can become the next king!

Drinking the scented tea made by Xia Qi and eating the fruit he cut, Okas waited quietly for the auction to start.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and Okas said without looking back: [Come in. ]

The door opened, Xia Qi turned his head, and a man who looked like a butler walked in and saluted Okas respectfully who had just turned his head, and then said: [Your Highness, I am the butler of Sanyok City Lord's Mansion.The Lord of the City Lord heard that you have come to Khandala, and immediately decided to hold a banquet in the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow night to welcome His Highness. The Lord of the City Lord earnestly hopes that His Highness will honor you. This is the letter that the Lord of the City Lord sent me to His Highness. ]

The man held the letter in both hands and sent it to Orcas. Orcas took the letter and said: [I am going to Candala this time to meet Master Mihachi in a private capacity. The Lord of Sanyok does not need to be polite. Before leaving, I will meet with the city lord, and the banquet will be avoided. ]

The so-called banquet was just to meet Orcas. Since Orcas said that he would meet the Sanyoko City Lord, the other party did not need to force him, and immediately said: "I will tell the City Lord that His Royal Highness is in Kanda." During this time, if you need anything, you can come to me at any time. The city lord has explained that everything you photographed tonight, Your Highness, will be paid for by the city lord's mansion. ]

[I see. ]

[Then I will not bother Your Highness. ]

The man leaned forward to leave, but before leaving, he took a few more glances at Xia Qi.

Once the door is closed,Xia Qi asked: [Senior Orcas, will the city lord of the main city of the empire be replaced? ]

Orcas casually put the letter aside, without opening it, and said: [The lord of the main city is directly appointed by the king, and the lord of the attached city is appointed by the king after the lord of the main city submits a candidate. It is a life-long system, and a new city lord will be appointed only after the city lord dies. ]

Sure enough, it is a bit like the feudal lords in ancient Europe, but the lords seem to be hereditary?Xia Qi then asked: "Then the power of the city lord is not great?" ]

[is great. ] Orcas said: [According to the laws of the empire, the king can dismiss the city lord who caused strong dissatisfaction among the people. The lord of each city, whether it is the main city or the attached city, is backed by various noble forces. The city lord and nobles are not allowed to have troops. , the army can only belong to the empire, which is the prerequisite for the king to control the nobles and city lords. Although the empire does not use strength to determine power and status like the demons, if the royal family does not have a strong man in charge, even if it absolutely controls the army of the empire, it will be impossible. It will be threatened by the big nobles and the big city lords, which is why the blood power of the royal family is superior to other families. ]

[Then, if Senior Orcas becomes the king, will this situation change?For example, if the election system is used to select each city lord, the city lord can only have a term of ten years at most, and will be replaced after ten years.The nobility is just a status of honor and has no real power. The royal family is absolutely centralized? ]

Okas's pupils tightened slightly, [Election?centralization? ]

Xia Qi pointed at each other, moved closer to Orcas, and whispered in his ear: [Well, the election is just...]

Okas listened carefully, with obvious shock in his eyes.How did Shaggy have such a unique political view?After Xia Qi finished speaking, Orcas raised his hand to ruffle Xia Qi's hair, and then put it on.He was in his arms.

[I will seriously consider your suggestion. ]

[Well... I'm just talking casually. If you really want to do this, you will definitely receive opposition from many people, and even affect the stability of the empire. ]

[I know. ]

Xia Qi's big dark eyes are filled with the light of admiration, [Senior Orcas will definitely become a famous and wise king through the ages. ]

Orcas's eyes fluttered, and he knocked on Xia Qi's head, and his magnetic voice carried the temptation to make Xia Qi dizzy: [You also think I should be the king? ]

[certainly! ] Xia Qi nodded vigorously, [No one is more suitable than Senior Orcas. ] Then, he wrinkled his nose, [Brother Bolevin is too serious. ]

Orcas rubbed Xia Qi's already messy hair vigorously, and said: [I will not consider this matter before I become a crown-level powerhouse. ]

Xia Qi pursed his lips and smiled: [No, the crown-level powerhouse is too low, senior Okas will definitely become the clan-level powerhouse. ] In fact, what he wants to say is that only the god-level title is worthy of Okas.

Xia Qi was not the first person who said that he would become a clan powerhouse, but Xia Qi was the first person who made Orcas want to smile after hearing this, although his smile only flowed in his eyes.

With Xia Qi's hair messed up by him, Otas said seriously: "I will work hard. ]

[I will help Senior Orcas! ]

[thanks. ]

Xia Qi immediately protested: [We are partners, we cannot say thank you. ]

In the next second, his hair that had just been flattened was messed up again. Xia Qi felt that after staying with Orcas for a long time, his hair would always be a chicken coop.

At the auction that night, Orcas did not make a move, it was Xia Qi who bid, it was not that Orcas was reluctant to pay for Xia Qi, Xia Qi had never bid, and Orcas gave him the control of the auction, allowing him to fully Experience the excitement of bidding, and when you meet something you want, Orcas will give Xia Qi his psychological price, and Xia Qi will take the auction for him. The two will take three pieces of seventh-level exotic animal skins, and one eighth-level exotic animal skin. Leather, two high-grade materials for making armor, and some high-grade medicinal plants and crystals.

Xia Qi’s hands are going to cramp when he presses the bidding device. This kind of bidding feels too exciting and exciting. Usually, more advanced things are not auctioned with money, and those that can be auctioned with money are considered Top notch.

After the auction was over, the head deacon of the auction house personally sent the things Xia Qi had photographed to their box, and said that the city lord's mansion had already paid for it. The value of these things was huge in Xia Qi's view, but to the lord To the city lord, it was just a small amount of money.Okas was not polite either, and took Xia Qi away after receiving the things, still holding Xia Qi's hand.

The two pieces of high-grade armor materials that Orcas photographed were not suitable for the design that Shaqi had designed for him.He took it for Bravin.As a master casting master, Master Mihaqi has many rare and precious materials in his hands, and Orcas does not need to bother about the materials for his wristbands.

After the two left the auction house, they boarded the Nengjing car and went to the other palace.Back in the other palace, the butler Denton brought a large stack of invitations, all of which were invitations from the upper-class noble families in Candala to invite Orcas to the banquet. Orcas asked Denton to refuse all of them. This time he I came out to take Xia Qi to rest, not to socialize, and going to the City Lord's Mansion is enough.

Inspired by Orcas and Xia Qi, Belevin also took Kai Xin out of the capital to go on a date that day.For the first time, Nuoding, who had greater hope for the future, let go of his caution and invited the princess to play outside the capital.On the same day, only King Fan Wei and Queen were left in the palace, and Wen Lian, who woke up, was preparing for the weekend's inner court ranking competition.

Okas knew about these things, but he didn't tell Xia Qi, this is someone else's business, isn't it?

After taking a bath, Orcas took Xia Qi to the practice room, asking him to absorb the spar to temper the power of soul force.The power of soul martial is very helpful to strengthen the body, this is the thing that Okas is most worried about at present.

Xia Qi can only absorb the first and second spars now, and Okas watched him from the sidelines, replenishing him with new spars in time after the spars in Xia Qi's hands dissipated, until Xia Qi could no longer absorb them.Then, the two sat back to back and began to meditate.Xia Qi's meditation can improve his spiritual power, and the soul warrior's meditation is to enhance the tacit understanding with the soul beast, which can also be regarded as a kind of spiritual power.

Before Xia Qi started to meditate, another thought flashed through his head: Is this a double cultivation between senior Okas and me?

Without excessive mental energy consumption, Xia Qi's meditation does not need to take too much time.At one o'clock in the morning, Orcas and Xia Qi returned to their room hand in hand, and went to bed to rest.

After lying down, Xia Qi thought of one thing: [Senior Orcas, I want to see your two small patterns. ]

[See you tomorrow. ] Orcas closes the lighting crystal.

[I want to see it now, soon. ] Thinking of those two small patterns, Xia Qi’s heart is like a cat scratching. I don’t know if the two small patterns have changed after senior Orcas advanced. I really want to know.

Okas turned over, took him into his arms amid Xia Qi's low cry, and patted him: [Sleep. ]

[......]

Xia Qi's heart stopped scratching, and turned into some kind of small animal.Senior Orcas’s embrace is not as cold and hard as his attributes. It’s his own, and it seems to be the sound of Orcas’ heartbeat. Xia Qi’s eyes are slowly closed, and he suddenly has a longing, longing How good would it be for Okas not to have someone he likes in the future, just to be a close partner with him all the time?Shaggy refuses to think about how he feels about Orcas, and that's fine for now.If you are too high-profile, you will be struck by lightning!

In the room, there was only shallow breathing.Orcas patted Xia Qi's hand to stop, and his blue eyes opened in the darkness.Why is such a special Xia Qi an orphan?Will it appear in a remote town like Saisaila?Who would be Xia Qi's biological parents?Xia Qi, do you want to find his parents?

After a night of no dreams and a good night's sleep, Xia Qi woke up and did not forget his request before going to bed last night, to sit by the bed and read a book and wait for him to wake up. Orcas showed him the two tattoos he had tattooed before. Small patterns.Orcas was worried about Xia Qi's body, and he delayed Xia Qi's questioning until after Xia Qi had breakfast.

Leaning on Orcas' body, Xia Qi held the magnifying crystal to observe the two small patterns tattooed on him.More than half an hour later, Xia Qi put away the crystal and said with a frown: [The two small patterns have become very blurred, almost invisible.I don't know if it's because senior Orcas has advanced or because the level of the soul pattern potion is too low, or senior Orcas's soul power is too strong, they were swallowed. ] This is not a good situation.

Okas rubbed Xia Qi's eyebrows, [Study slowly, don't rush.I don't have any abnormalities, and I don't have unstable realms. ]

Xia Qi grabbed the hand that Orcas was rubbing between his brows, and begged: [Senior Orcas, you can train me now.My physical strength was too much of a hindrance. ]

[Not in a hurry. ] Okas withdrew his hand, sat up and dressed, and said: [Let's go, I'll take you to Candala City for a stroll. ]

Xia Qi sat still, he was not in the mood to go shopping, and Okas, who was dressed, carried Xia Qi off the bed with one hand, patted him, [I will give you 10 minutes to change clothes. ]

Xia Qi took off his pajamas sullenly, and looked down at his right breast.Bai Mimi's white cat head and blue eyes are still clear.Someone rubbed his head, then bent down to look at his face and said: [Xia Qi, before I met you, I could only cultivate by myself.Your appearance gave me the possibility to complete the soul pattern. This kind of possibility was never expected by me before. Therefore, I am not in a hurry, and you should not be in a hurry. You have done enough. ]

Xia Qi couldn't help embracing Orcas' waist and buried him in his arms, [I think senior Orcas's soul pattern can be 100% complete, I think senior Orcas can become a patriarch sooner, or even a To become the most powerful god-level powerhouse, I think senior Orcas can have a set of powerful equipment that no one can match. ] Xia Qi was a little choked up, [In the past ten years, Senior Orcas was the only person who made me feel particularly safe.I thought, what can I do for you. ]

Okas's blue eyes were deep, his head lowered slowly, and finally touched the top of Xia Qi's head.Buried in his arms, Xia Qi's eyes suddenly widened.

[You have done a lot for me. ] Okas's voice was low and integral, [Practice takes time.You might as well regard your ability as a kind of cultivation.Let's practice together, practice together, and grow together.From my point of view, I don't want you to grow up too fast, that would make me lose my reason to be your partner. ]

[Senior Orcas...]

[Um. ]

——Did you kiss me just now?

Xia Qi's arms tightened, [I'm afraid, hold your hind legs. ]

[Won't. ]

Not daring to ask that sentence, Xia Qi let go and looked up.

Orcas touched his eyes and said again: [Change clothes, let's go out. ]

[Um. ]

Okas turned around and went to the closet to get his out clothes, Xia Qi touched the top of his head, just now, was it an illusion?
