Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

416 Monk and Water

“Your father is going to cry.”

On the way back, Kang De turned to look at the desolate figure hiding in the shadows and stuck his head out. He could not help but want to laugh. Grand Duke Leckos was a wonderful person in all kinds of ways.

He turned to Tina and said, “Is this fine?”

Tina walked to Kang De’s right and leaned very close. Their shoulders and arms occasionally brushed as they walked. As soon as the soft and warm feeling touched, a faint fragrance floated from her side, relaxed and happy. Facing his gaze, the princess raised her hand and tucked her golden hair behind her ears. The sun-like brilliance was restrained behind her jade-like ears, and her movements were beautiful and tempting.

She did not answer her father’s question. Instead, she asked, “Is Kang De happy?”

“Yes?”

“I’m saying that Father is respectful and grateful to you on official matters. He values your interests and respects your opinion. However, on a personal level, he suspects you, targets you, and complains that you took my heart…”

Such embarrassing romantic words were tirelessly said by Tina without any delay. They were as smooth as flowing water. Coupled with her eager gaze, it was really difficult.

She said gently, “Therefore, he’s quite resentful. He often can’t distinguish between public and private matters and is always targeting you and saying strange things. Although he doesn’t have any ill intentions, over time, he’ll always make you dissatisfied. Therefore, every time he targets you, I’ll stand on your side and strike him in the head. Kang De finds it interesting, so you won’t mind, right?”

“This…”

Kang De was speechless for a moment. He did not expect Tina to have such intentions in her actions just now.

However, this carefulness was not annoying at all.

Tina tilted her head. “What’s wrong?”

“No, I was just a little caught off guard.” Kang De shook his head and said, “I didn’t expect you to actually tell the truth.”

“Why should I lie? I bullied my father for Kang De. I’m good to him, so I naturally have to say it and let you know that I care a lot about your feelings. That’s why I did these things for you. You know how good I am. In the future, if my father targets you again, you won’t be unhappy. Instead, you’ll look forward to how I bully him back. This way, our family will be harmonious. Therefore, why don’t you say it?”

She smiled sweetly and blinked her left eye. “Is that so?”

You make sense.

Kang De was speechless again, “Actually, if you don’t do this, I won’t do anything to your father. You’re right. His public and private life are separated. As the Grand Duke of Goethe, he treats the Cathayan, Kang De, with all his might and the greatest courtesy and sincerity. He treats me as a father. His various words and actions are out of love for you. Not all rulers will act like a father. Although his actions are a little naive and he’s even unqualified as a ruler, I think this is interesting.”

He turned around to look at the sneaky shadow again and shouted, “Grand Duke, sleep early!”

The black shadow darted back like a frightened rabbit.

Kang De smiled at Tina again. “It’s a very simple choice. A shrewd iron-blooded monarch who sells his daughter without batting an eyelid and a substandard monarch who’s a little emotional and values his family. As an ally, which one am I more willing to interact with? Of course it’s the latter.”

“Therefore, it’s fine not to bully your father. He won’t be able to sleep at night.”

There was laughter in his tone.

Tina looked at him seriously and shook her head. “No, Father unilaterally thinks that you took me away, so his feelings for you are very complicated. He’s a little hostile and resentful. However, in fact, Kang De didn’t do anything or obtain any benefits. It’s a little disadvantageous to be hostile to Father…”

At this point, a smile curled up on her lips. Her body slowly tilted over and she leaned against Kang De’s body. Her bright eyes looked up and glanced at him. “Why don’t I compensate you first?”

The princess stood on her tiptoes and slowly leaned towards Kang De’s cheek, her sweet breath assaulting his face.

In the next moment, a ruthless iron hand stretched out from the other side and covered Tina’s mouth and Kang De’s face.

The gorilla stuck her head out with a cold gaze.

Tina only giggled.

—With this fool as the controller, it was quite useful to prevent it from going overboard.

The gorilla’s gaze was a little complicated.

After the attack, she made up her mind to be inseparable from Kang De. She had just walked to his left and listened to him speak to Big Gold Hair, listen to Tina’s sweet words, listen to her express her thoughts, listen to those mellow words, look at that gentle and elegant posture, smile with her eyes. That feeling…

It was like a greenhorn watching the strongest player score crazily.

She felt the difference in rank. It was overwhelming, as great as the difference in combat strength between the two of them. It made the gorilla envious and jealous. It was simply impossible for her to learn to say such a thing in her life.

Especially now that Tina was smiling, it made her even more unhappy.

Not long after the gorilla transformed, it still had the instinct of a beast and the way it thought.

Her instinct told her to do something.

In a flash, the gorilla reached out and twisted Kang De’s body, causing him to face Tina. The gorilla hugged him from behind and rested her chin on Kang De’s right shoulder, then pulled him back two steps.

“You wanted to kiss him just now?”

She saw a surprised and caught-off-guard expression appear on Tina’s face, so she smiled proudly. This method was indeed useful. At this moment, she recalled the teaching video provided by Horus. The people in the video spoke an unfamiliar language, but she could still feel her soul from it.

What left a deeper impression was the story of the swordsman in black with two swords on his back. She felt that the current situation was like a certain fragment in the video, but the gender was reversed.

She hugged Kang De hard and rubbed her body gently with an expression of enjoyment. As she rubbed, she looked at Tina’s expression and her tone became strange. “You wanted to kiss her just now?”

As she spoke, she slowly stuck out her tongue and drew circles in the air. She slowly approached Kang De’s face and revealed a demonic gaze and evil smile.

—An even greater wavering appeared in Tina’s eyes.

Success! At this moment, the gorilla finally understood her advantage. She could completely treat Kang De like this in front of Tina, and the other party could only watch helplessly.

When she thought of this, a strange happy feeling appeared in her heart.

It was too exciting.

This feeling.

She understood the true meaning of the images Horus had shown her.

At this moment, the gorilla and Tina’s hair colors completed a mental change.

In the next moment, she felt her body lighten and her feet leave the ground.

Kang De bent down and arched the gorilla who was hugging her from behind. Then, he held the gorilla’s thigh with both hands and gathered it to the sides of her waist. He patted it. “Little fool, who did you learn it from?”

The gorilla first subconsciously cried out in surprise, then hugged Kang De’s neck tightly. The moment she was carried by him, the strange thoughts and unwilling emotions in her mind completely disappeared. She lay on her wide back and could smell him. She instantly calmed down.

On the island, she had carried Kang De on her back. Now, it was his turn to carry her.

...

It felt completely different.

Kang De shrugged and glanced at Tina, who was still standing in a daze. He shook his head and said, “Let’s go. We have to rest.”

Tina looked at Kang De, then at the gorilla hugging him like an ostrich. She pursed her lips and smiled.

Wasn’t that quite good?

Under the moonlight, the girl on Kang De’s back had short red hair like flames. The elegant princess walked beside him like a moon. The three of them walked together. The silhouettes on the ground were entangled on the stone road and could not be separated from each other.

Tina chuckled. “We’re like a family of three.”

The gorilla, who had been lying on Kang De’s back with a red face and did not speak, said in a muffled voice, “Who’s family with you?!”

The princess chuckled and said, “Can’t I be your daughter?”

“…”

As expected, the gorilla revealed a shaken expression.

Fortunately.

...

Tina was slightly relieved. As expected, she was still an idiot. She had only gotten lucky just now.

They returned to the room.

It was Tina’s room.

After Kang De was attacked, the princess’s decision was extremely firm. In view of the unknown enemy spying and probing, she had to close the defense line. She had already lost it once and could not lose it a second time.

Therefore, she had to be with Kang De.

“This is your room…”

The maids opened the door, raised their skirts, bowed, and retreated. During this period, they had already moved all the personal items in Kang De’s room over. It did not look crowded when they let them in. Tina’s room was quite large.

For the first time, she was entered by a man other than her father and brother. Tina’s face was red and her fingers subconsciously wrapped around it. Ever since the night of Glory Sand, the princess had already completed her transformation. Her personality had been honed in the months of battle against the elves. She was swift and decisive, and her mobility was extremely strong. She was no longer as shy as before.

“From today on, this is also your room.” She made a bold statement, then felt uneasy. “Doesn’t it look a little strange?”

Books were the most common. Books were neatly stacked on the desk, the ground, and the bookshelves. Before the war, Tina had been famous for her beauty and knowledge. After the war, Goethe’s budding roses were watered with steel and blood and opened to new colors.

Kang De saw his fire axe hanging on the wall. The famous paintings on the wall surrounded swords and shields. The princess’s pink gauze curtain and dreamy bed were surrounded by books, flowers, and weapons like roses protected by spikes. They were sharp and aggressive, but they could bloom dazzlingly.

Her gaze had already silently expressed who the rose of steel bloomed for.

Kang De smiled and said, “Very good. I like it very much.”

“The bed is also very comfortable?”

“…”

“Let’s sleep together tonight.”

“…”

Therefore, they slept together.

Although he did not plan to go this far, Tina’s gaze made it impossible for him to refuse. When he asked, the girl held his hand. Kang De felt that it was very, very cold. Looking at her, he could still sense the uneasiness, fear, and lingering fear that the girl had not dissipated. Tonight, she must have been terrified.

The bed was quite large.

Lying on the bed, it was indeed very comfortable. An alluring fragrance filled the tent. It was unknown if it was perfume or body fragrance, or if it was fragrance or meat.

Tina was close and lying on her side. In the darkness, he could see starlight-like eyes staring at her without blinking. The loose robe revealed deep ravines, making Kang De want to sing a song about the Tibetan Plateau.

Yes, it was right in front of her. The exquisite curve of the bed on her side, the peaks rising and falling. It looked like a ridge from the side and was very tall from the side. Sensing Kang De’s gaze, Tina, who was in the darkness, smiled softly. Her right hand slowly moved up and moved slightly. Her chest pulled down, and the true appearance of Mount Lu became clearer and clearer.

Kang De sighed.

Tina’s mischievous chuckle sounded in his ear.

The beauties were sleeping on the same bed, close at hand.

At this moment, Kang De recalled that beastly joke, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and many righteous gentlemen. He was calm like a wise sage. There was only one reason.

—A green hand reached out from behind and gave Tina the middle finger.

This was the story of a monk and water.

There were three monks in the house.

“…Is there a need?”

“Let me explain.”

Sword Saint Snowfall’s calm voice sounded from the sofa, “I want to protect your safety and Tedrell’s dignity. If the three of you can go all out, do it.”

The gorilla behind Kang De laughed proudly.

The charming atmosphere and deadlock. The gorilla was like an agile hound, defending its territory and the Chu-Han River Boundary between Tina and Kang De. Once Tina took action, she would definitely see the gorilla’s middle finger and warning. Even if Kang De pretended to sleep and moved his body, he would be gently returned to his position.

Moreover, there was an old woman paying close attention not far away.

There was nothing he could do. Kang De lay there for half a night and returned to the white fog world to be cold a few times. Then, he returned with a saintly smile and finally fell asleep.

However, the sleeping Kang De did not know that in the darkness, Tina and the gorilla’s gazes met. When Kang De went to the white fog world to do bed exercise, time was still circulating in the other world. Some agreement had secretly been reached in his absence, but he knew nothing about it. He was like a Czech representative.

When he woke up early in the morning, he opened his eyes and met beautiful eyes as blue as the sky. Tina’s eyes were like water and light, as if they could speak. She stared at time, filled with affection.

The princess maintained her lying on her side and looked at his face.

“Good morning.”

Her smile was like spring, like a hundred flowers blooming.

A smile could heal. Kang De firmly believed this.

His ex-wife, a Japanese person with the surname Aragaki, had such an ability.

“Good morning.”

He sat up and looked back. On the other side, the gorilla rubbed its eyes, yawned, and rubbed over with narrowed eyes.

A figure sat up on the sofa not far away and stretched.

Kang De was 20 years old and a student. Now, he was also living an emperor’s life surrounded by beautiful girls.

“What should we eat for breakfast?”

In Tina’s room, she returned to the white fog world to make breakfast. The atmosphere was relatively harmonious, but Sword Saint Snowfall sat in it and clearly looked a little out of place.

Regarding this, the Sword Saint had a cold expression and a disdainful expression, “If not for Leckos begging me with snot and tears, I wouldn’t be willing to pester you about such a thing. Hmph, do you think I care about this?”

Tina looked at her aunt with inexplicable scrutiny, then met the gorilla’s gaze. In the end, a smile appeared on the princess’s lips.

Her greatest opponent was the gorilla. As long as she dealt with this problem, there was nothing to worry about, because the improvement of their relationship needed to be interacted and maintained. As long as she was by Kang De’s side day and night, their relationship would become deeper and deeper. She would be the one to win. Be it the Phoenix King or the others, they were all useless.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The maid stood respectfully by the door. After obtaining permission, she took a few steps forward and said to Kang De, “Your Highness, Valentine has arrived. The person leading them is your compatriot, Hong San.”
