It's the age of cyber, and you're still a traditional villain?

Chapter 261 I have to give my family an explanation...

There is an old saying that goes, "One day in the cave will last a thousand years in the world."

This sentence is still applicable in the current situation, because after finishing the first training of the little queen, Xu Shi discovered that the flow rate of time in the "liminal space" seems to be different from the outside world, and overall it is slower. Quite a few.

Considering that it was his first time and that he had spent some time before, he deliberately restrained himself from the first lesson he taught Dongfang Xiao, and it only lasted for an hour.

As a result, after the ability was released and the person returned to reality, only a quarter of an hour had passed on the clock on the wall. From this, it can be seen that the ratio was one to four.

Is that really the case?He vaguely remembered that the last mental communication with Miss Black Rabbit was not like this. At that time, it was a one-on-one comparison.

However, the use of "liminal space" was not complete. At best, it was connected to the channel, rather than the current fully closed... I guess this is the difference?
Oh, that's interesting.

Doesn't this mean that more time can be squeezed out in the future... This is the first thought that comes to some people's minds. After all, there are other things to do when visiting Dongfang Xiao in the future, and the complications of being a good fiancée are also It needs to be cured, right?

It was so wonderful... As for the other things, he didn't think about it for the time being. There was no traditional fantasy fairy tale where the protagonist discovered the time-compressing treasure and began to practice hard.

That's not our style, I'm sorry I can't do it.

"Hey, how do you feel?"

Xu Shi smiled, and then looked at Dongfang Xiao, who was breathing heavily after returning to reality after the same ability was lifted.

"Little... I'm still a little dizzy..."

The little queen's consciousness was still a little blurry. After hearing the words for a while, she weakly replied, "Well..."

She seemed to have not been able to separate the two different worlds clearly, and her mind was in a mess. It took her a while to realize that the shameful clothes had returned to normal, and the filth on her body was no longer there.

Only then did she get out of her semi-paralyzed state and sit up straight, and her breathing gradually returned to normal.

It's just that the blush on his face still hasn't faded away. After all, although his body has not been physically trained, the memory is firmly imprinted in his mind.

It's so shameful... After all, an hour ago she was still an innocent little girl who had never even held a man's hand, so even though Xu Shi felt that she had restrained herself, those methods were still a bit out of line for her.

I didn't expect you to be like this Xu Shi... She couldn't help but secretly complain, this guy is really bad.

As for the dizziness that always existed, it seemed to have little to do with how Xu Shi treated her.

Xu Shi naturally knew this. It seemed that this was the mental impact of the "liminal space" on those who were recruited. It was exactly as he expected, not too bad but definitely present.

But if it's only to this level, it seems to be within the acceptable range... Maybe as Xia Wuyou said before, let her come in to practice?
Of course, this may be related to the fact that Dongfang Xiao itself has the Holy Light ability, so it has higher resistance in this regard. The specifics need to be further observed.

"Then take a good rest."

He didn't care too much about what the little queen was thinking. He just touched her head and said, "That's it for today. We'll continue next time."

It's finally over... Hearing what he said, Dongfang Xiao felt relieved. No matter what happened next, today was really like a nightmare for her, and she needed a good rest to digest it.

just.

When Xu Shi walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at her with a strange smile.

"Speaking of which...since you have become my slave, it seems that it doesn't matter if I don't fulfill my promise?"

He thought for a moment and said, "You can't escape my grasp anyway, can you?"

!

These words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly exploding in Dongfang Xiao's head.

Of course she knew that the transaction with Xu Shi was a gamble. Since it was a gamble, she had to consider the risk of losing everything.

But she never expected that all this would happen so quickly.

The shock of losing the big gamble was too much for her to bear, and she suddenly looked like she was broken.

"You, you can't...we agreed..."

"I am a bad person, so I can regret it, right?"

Xu Shi did not accept this trick, and the smile on his face became even worse, "It's because you are so gullible...and even if I regret it, what can you do?"

"I……"

These words pierced Dongfang Xiao's heart. Yes, the mark was planted, and she couldn't refuse even if she wanted to.

At this moment, she was really panicked. She hurriedly stood up and rushed to Xu Shi, anxiously saying, "No, it can't be done. Please..."

When she thought about not only becoming this guy's plaything, but also having no possibility of realizing her ambitions, the despair in her heart began to spread, and the world in her eyes briefly lost its color.

She was even a little unsteady and almost knelt down - she had basically maintained this posture in the "liminal space" for the past hour. Isn't this a habit that has become natural?
"...Haha, I lied to you."

Seeing that she was really about to collapse, Xu Cai gently helped her up and said, "Just a little joke... Don't worry too much. I have prepared various contracts related to the Poseidon Stone transaction, as well as gold and silver coins to ease the market. It will be sent to the palace later."

"Really, you have to choose to believe me... Then I'll leave first. May your Majesty be safe."

……Hey?

After waiting for a long time for the figure to disappear, Dongfang Xiao came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

She no longer knows how to describe her current mood, because from the beginning to now, her heart has been picked up and put down by Xu Shi, and the cycle has been repeated countless times, and now it is a little numb.

"...Come here."

After adjusting her condition, she ordered softly.

"His Majesty."

Soon the female officer in attendance came and responded respectfully.

In their eyes, Dongfang Xiao is still the aloof queen, and this has not changed at all.

"Show me, go back to the bedroom."

The little queen said calmly, still maintaining the same posture as a superior.

But actually, she felt like crying now.

……

Xu Shi was in a good mood after leaving the imperial study and found others waiting in the outer palace.

But when he came here, what he saw was very joyful.

He came this time to bring his family into the palace with him, but since he was meeting the Queen alone, the others could only wait outside.

Cheng Gujian did not leave here either, sitting opposite a few people.

Then... everyone's current state is that they are silent and staring at each other.

Although it can't be said to be tense, one can indeed smell a bit of gunpowder.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Shi felt strange, so he poked Pan Ling, the silly apprentice sitting at the bottom of the table.

"Ah, master..."

Miss Xiaoling suddenly came back to her senses, "We, we are..."

In fact, the situation is not complicated. In general, from the moment she sat down, Miss Shen Qin stared at Cheng Gujian very unkindly, almost like a "single-marker" on the basketball court, and then naturally, she followed the others. Brought in.

"You are so childish."

After listening to what she said, Xu Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Brother Xu."

Cheng Gujian also noticed his arrival, stood up and said with a smile, "It seems like your sister has a lot of opinions about me."

I can't see that he has any dissatisfaction. Thinking about it carefully, given his level of realm, breaking the defense just because of this is a bit downgraded.

"Of course. You refused to save your brother before, so of course you are a bad person."

Shen Qin was also outspoken and did not hide her dissatisfaction with him.

After her memory was reshaped, her character seemed to have become a lot simpler. At first glance, she still seemed a little silly...

"You can't say that, Xiaoqin."

Xu Shi scolded him with a straight face, but there was no harshness in his tone, "Brother Cheng is a very good partner of ours. It's very rude of you to do this."

"It doesn't matter, I think my roommate is cute."

After he said this, Cheng Gujian could only wave his hands to show that he didn't care, "Your last names are different...are you a adopted sister?"

Xu Shi nodded, "Yes, you'll do it."

"What's wrong with my god sister? Do you look down on your god sister?"

Shen Qin didn't give up, and even wanted to say something small.

Is it okay to fuck your sister?

"Little Qin."

After Xu Shi stopped drinking, Miss Shen Qin stopped talking and stood behind him obediently.

"Where are you, my brothers and sisters are respectful, even I am envious of them."

Cheng Gujian was not interested in Xu Shi's family affairs, so he asked about the business in a perfunctory manner, "Now you have also met with His Majesty alone... but what's the result?"

"Of course there is."

Xu Shi did not hide anything, "Her Majesty the Queen is willing to help my wife, how can I not repay the favor?"

As he spoke, he looked at Xie Qingyan again and said sincerely, "Madam, don't panic, your illness can be cured."

"Husband..."

The dog woman also cooperated and held his hand, looking like she was about to cry.

I dare not say that there is no true emotion at all, but there is indeed a lot of acting.

In addition, he basically told Cheng Gujian about the deal he had reached with the little empress, such as saving the main city market, jointly developing the empire, and even opening a church. He did not hide it.

But as for the other little secrets that were limited to him and Dongfang Xiao, he naturally wouldn't say a word.

"Is that so... It seems that the misunderstanding has been resolved now."

Cheng Gujian thought for a moment and then said, "If you are willing to continue to cooperate sincerely with the royal family, it is naturally a good thing for us."

Needless to say, he actually had some concerns about Xu Shi's meeting with Dongfang Xiao alone. In addition, the conversation was not short, and he did have the idea of ​​going there to take a look.

But after hearing this series of plans, everything seemed to be reasonable again. In addition, after being stared at by Shen Qin just now, his worries faded a lot.

As for whether Xu Shi would reach other deals with Dongfang Xiao... he hadn't thought much about it.

Firstly, it may be that Dongfang Xiao left him with a good image, and secondly, his own strength lies here, whether it is himself or his control over the imperial royal family... so he is not worried.

This is the confidence of the SS-level "Chosen One".gif
"It's getting late... should I take you out of the palace?"

He stood up and said, "Speaking of which, how long do you plan to stay in the main city this time?"

"No matter what, we have to wait until my wife recovers from her illness."

Xu Shi smiled and said, I have to say that this reason is indeed useful. Others can't find fault... Moreover, they have the final say on when Xie Qingyan's complications will be cured. Even if they are cured, they can say they are not cured, right?
The main thing is to completely turn the little queen into an obedient flannel ball...Ahem, why did I say what I was thinking...

"Also, I will open a new church in the future, and I will definitely stay in the main city for a long time."

"...This is not an easy task. The Holy See will definitely not sit idly by and watch. You have to be mentally prepared."

Cheng Gujian muttered, "Of course, if you need any help, I won't be stingy."

As mentioned before, he didn't bother to interfere with Xu Shi's family affairs. As long as it sounded reasonable, there seemed to be no reason to interfere.

But the matter of opening a church is different. Everyone knows that doing so is a complete declaration of war with the Holy See, and the pressure on the royal family will naturally not be small.

In fact, he has considered similar things before. This is indeed a good way to check and balance or even eliminate the Holy See... but the Holy See has long been ingrained in the hearts of the people. It is easy to say but not easy to do.

Now that Xu Shi, a foreigner, has brought it up, it is a good thing for him. If it fails, the blame can be thrown to him, and the royal family does not need to bear too much pressure.

No matter how you think about it.

"Thank you very much, Brother Cheng."

Xu Shi was polite and said goodbye to him outside the palace gate.

In fact, he didn't care too much about the other party's attitude. He had to do his own thing well first.

"...I'm afraid my husband will be extremely happy."

As soon as they separated, Xie Qingyan's sincerity immediately lost a lot, but he squeezed Xu Shi's hand teasingly, "Tell me, what did you do to the little queen?"

"Hum..."

Of course he was honest with Xu Shi, and whispered a few words in her ear.

"I knew it."

The dog woman was not surprised and gave him a blank look.

In fact, she was a little lucky in her heart, because if Xu Shi didn't do this, she would have become the one who was seeded... Just after listening to his "short teaching" today, the arrogant Xie Dong felt a little... Living in Bengbu is too boring.

But there was also some unhappiness. Although Xu Shi did this for her own sake, he knew what would happen next.

I'm afraid that besides treating myself, these two people are also indispensable... I still feel bad thinking about it, huh.

"There is no other way. I have to give an explanation to my family."

Xu Shi said shamelessly, who made him set the flag before?In this case, you have to do it no matter how hard or tiring it is.

I can only suffer myself.

"Aunt Xie, is this the first day you meet Dad?"

Xia Keyan watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. Although he didn't hear it, he guessed a little bit, "I'm more curious, dad, how do you plan to open this so-called new religion?"

"This is..."

Xu Shi was about to share his plan when he saw a group of people walking not far away.

The leader was also an old acquaintance, Lu Baiyan, a Templar from the Holy See.

"Mr. Xu."

The other party performed a standard knightly salute, "I wonder if you are free now, could you come to the Holy See for a while?"
