Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 330 Christine, do you like me?

Looking at Kristine's ten fingers that could crush her head with just a pinch, twisting them together as if they were trying to crush the things in her palms into flesh, Ji Ming swallowed solemnly. saliva.

If Adele showed such an attitude in front of him, Ji Ming would think that she wanted to take over for her for a day so that she could have a rest.

If Eleanor showed such an attitude in front of him, Ji Ming would think that she wanted him to help her advise on the pros and cons of something.

If Bai Yesheng showed such an attitude in front of him, Ji Ming would think that she wanted him to help her find a resource with a very high XP.

If it were Blois...

Ah, well, there is no such possibility. You still have to sleep at night, so don’t start such terrifying associations.

In short, if other people of the opposite sex show such an attitude, no matter what the purpose is, it can at least be classified as coquettish.

Only Kristine, Ji Ming would feel that she was hesitating whether she should twist off her head and cook it into old Ji's soup, or turn her head into meat with a big blade...

So he quietly took a step back and raised his voice.

"Leader Christine, if you have anything to say, you can just say it. You and I are no longer strangers, there is no need to be like this!"

——If it doesn’t work, let’s do it directly. Please don’t torture me mentally anymore!
Seeing that everyone had said this, Kristen was too embarrassed to complain any more, so she suddenly cleared her throat.

"Ahem... Shuang should have told you already, right? I followed the adjutant's advice and decided to leave Sunshine City and return to the Deep Forest Kingdom to restore my family title."

This was within Ji Ming's expectation, or that was why he kept his life as an adjutant.

After all, the Mountain Mercenary Alliance is an old force that has been rooted in Sunshine City for many years. Even though its apparent combat effectiveness has been exhausted in the great changes that night, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the wealth hidden everywhere can be Nothing less.

When the time comes, with the dragon-skin banner of Shenlin, and Kristine, a powerful monster, as the backbone, they can pull out another mercenary team at any time if they want, no matter how bad the individual soldiers are. Even if it is bad, it can continue to fight against Sunshine City, which will cause endless troubles.

Therefore, a smart person like the adjutant was needed. The destruction of the Mountain Mercenary Alliance had already made him realize that things in Sunshine City were impossible. With Ji Ming's subsequent consolidation, he became a defeatist strategist with a firmness that could be called the Steel Seal Clan. , so instead of helping Kristine to continue resisting, he would repeatedly persuade her to leave Sunshine City quickly.

Kristen seems to be violent and stubborn, and it seems difficult to persuade her to change her mind. But Ji Ming has long seen that she only has one hard shell. As long as she can find a way to break it, at least in this matter she will definitely succeed. You can change your mind.

What's more, she is not a fool. It seems that two forces are co-governing. In fact, Sunshine City today is the territory of the so-called Tower Community. If she cannot get into the core of the city, what if she can revive the Mercenary Alliance? It may not be possible in this lifetime to return to the heyday of the Finn period.

"Lord Leader, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that no one in Sunshine City will agree to our staying here. Even if the God's Chosen is willing to say a few good words for you, regardless of the outcome, he will become It’s very difficult.”

Therefore, the adjutant just used Ji Ming's piece of iron to gently pry it, and Christine, the nut spirit, smiled and followed his advice, decided to stop the loss in time, and used the massive wealth that Fein had collected over the decades in exchange for My future in the deep forest kingdom.

As for Shuang in the trio...

She was a follower like a little daughter-in-law. Since Kristine chose to leave, she naturally had no objection and started packing her luggage that night.

So now it seems that Ji Ming's move is successful. As long as the mountain mercenary forces completely withdraw from the Black Forest Territory, this place will become a hall for players to talk about. If they advance, they can radiate the kingdoms, and if they retreat, they can expand the wild land. Originally, it was a real land of dragon prosperity.

So he immediately patted his chest to show off.

"Are you planning to return to the Deep Forest Kingdom? Congratulations, you can finally go home... Then is it possible that you came to me because you don't have enough travel expenses? It doesn't matter, I can lend it to you, as long as you have enough! When will you set off? When the time comes, I’ll go over and see you off. It’s a long journey, so don’t leave you in the cold…”

"No, that's not what I want!"

Seeing that Ji Ming had almost finished her travel arrangements for the next few days, Christine quickly interrupted him, bent her knees and let her huge body sit in front of Ji Ming, and if it wasn't enough, she lowered her body as low as possible He lowered his head until he could look straight at him like a child playing with a toy, and then he said every word.

"I want to ask, Ji Ming, are you willing to go with me?"

???

Ji Ming couldn't believe his ears. Did I do something wrong? Why do you have such unrealistic fantasies?

I am now prosperous in the Holy Light Church, and I will soon go to the King of Light to increase my influence. Why would I go to the deep forest kingdom with no foundation?

Do you like to torture yourself and go back to your youth?

He was so full of complaints that he couldn't help but burst out a sentence.

"At this moment? Are you kidding me?"

"Oh, the adjutant is right, you will indeed refuse."

Christine, who was mentally prepared, was much calmer than Ji Ming expected. She just lowered her head and slowly clenched her fists under the gradually bulging muscles of her arms... and then Ji Ming was already ready to escape. When he suddenly let go, his voice was mute.

"I understand, Ji Ming, you must think that I am a loser now, right?"

She raised her head and stared into Ji Ming's eyes.

"Tell me, if I return to the Jungle Kingdom and really regain my rightful noble title, will you be willing to marry me?"

Ji Ming did not speak, but shook his head.

"Then if I go to the northern battlefield and make great military exploits and be promoted to a powerful marquis, will you be willing to marry me?"

Ji Ming shook his head again.

"Then if I defeat the main force of Tamos Khan head-on, become the 25th Duke of the Deep Forest Kingdom with my unparalleled achievements, and become a member of this ancient aristocratic group in the north, will you be willing to marry me? ?”

Ji Ming still shook his head.

Kristine's breathing became heavier and heavier, and finally she seemed to have made up her mind and said harshly while cracking the ground.

"Then if I raise the flag of rebellion..."

But before the second half of the sentence could be said, he was interrupted by Ji Ming who couldn't bear it anymore.

"stop!"

“Christine, you have asked me three questions in a row, now it’s time for me to ask you three questions, right?
This was completely beyond Kristen's expectation. Her eyes dilated slightly, but she nodded in the end.

"Then...then you ask, I will answer truthfully."

"Very good, then..."

Ji Ming straightened his coat and said loudly.

"Ms. Christine Pearl, do you like me?" That's it?

After a brief daze, Christine's expression suddenly turned fierce, and she spoke decisively.

"I like it! Of course I like it! Who doesn't like it..."

But Ji Ming took a step forward before she finished speaking, raised his head and asked again.

"Ms. Christine Pearl, do you really like me?"

"what?"

Kristen was confused now, her eyes blurred for a moment.

"Uh...I think I..."

However, Ji Ming took another step closer, and their cheeks were almost within touching distance.

"Christine, do you love me!?"

"I I I..."

Kristen really couldn't say a word at this time, she could only hesitate, looking like she wanted to be tough but couldn't.

So Ji Ming stepped back and sighed.

"Kristen, I admit that after fighting side by side that night, my impression of you has changed a lot, but at least in this matter, what is the difference between you now and last time? Why do you Do you think I can get different answers to the same questions?”

"Yes, I admit that your confession is very courageous, and that the promise you made to convince me is very backbone, but you still talk to me about feelings as if you are talking about business. You seem to be enthusiastic and sincere. Full, in fact, the words are full of cold suspicion and indifference.”

At this point, Ji Ming paused and waited for Kristine to start thinking before speaking again.

"I don't want to hear any excuses. Tell me, Kristen, are you doing this because you don't care about feelings, or because you don't understand what feelings are?"

Kristine opened her mouth and was completely choked by Ji Ming's words, but under his questioning eyes she could only answer with a trembling voice.

"I...I don't understand..."

Hehe, it’s okay if you don’t understand, because I don’t know much about such a complicated issue~
[No, Savior, I don’t understand that you still deceive others like this? 】

"It's not very clear≠I don't understand, even if I understand a little, I understand!"

So like a great philosopher about to start a speech, Ji Ming took a breath and spoke softly.

"Christine, the fundamental reason for the emergence of feelings is actually 'need'. Therefore, love will be produced when people you like need each other; family affection will be produced when brothers and sisters need each other; friendship will be produced when like-minded people need each other. ; Various emotions including empathy, sympathy, etc. can also be connected with this 'need'."

"Therefore, there is definitely more than just money, status, and power in this world, and there is definitely more than just love. You are now paranoid about these two points at the same time, and you forcefully believe that as long as you have the former, you can get the latter. There is an absolute and only causal relationship between the two.”

"I admit that there are not so many pure feelings in this world, so your theory will actually have quite a lot of supporters in this world. In fact, if you change anyone to practice this theory, it will definitely work. Tong, there’s no need to be in such pain, maybe you’re ready to have a baby.”

"But the problem is, you happened to meet me."

"Kristin, I have investigated your past clearly. Your family is unfortunate. In fact, I have experienced similar pain, so I can understand your feelings. But because of this, I will cherish the existence of feelings more, and It’s not just about linking it to other things and turning it into a commodity to be sold.”

Christine lost her father before she could remember, and soon after she started to have memories, she lost her mother. Although the old city lord who died mysteriously could be regarded as her temporary guardian, he was also a stern guy with no church. How reasonable she is.

Therefore, in more than forty years of living, no one has ever said such a thing to her, and tonight should be considered the first time.

"Is that so?"

Her breathing gradually became steady, she looked at the sky in confusion, and then lowered her head again.

"Sorry, it's so complicated, Ji Ming, I still don't seem to understand."

Ji Ming smiled slightly.

"Because for many people, this is something that takes a lifetime to figure out."

"Then do I have a chance to think things through?"

"Yes, everyone has it, but some people are afraid of reliving the pain, so they choose to give up."

Kristine didn't speak this time. She was silent for a long time. She exhaled to the side and suddenly raised the corners of her mouth.

"Then... Ji Ming, if one day I think things through, will you still be willing to reconsider me? I seem to really like you a little bit."

???

Grandma, you are stunned, aren't you? Brother Ji's emotional time is not good, why did the topic that I finally pulled away come back to me again! ?
There was no other way, Ji Ming could only try his best to maintain the smile that was almost taken away.

"Maybe, who can say clearly about the future? But I can guarantee that if you fail to think clearly, the answer you get from me will always be rejection. And by the time you figure it out, there are actually many things. You can find the answer yourself.”

"The Deep Forest Kingdom is a more complex dye vat than Sunshine City. You have to keep your eyes open and think carefully about where you should stand. At least as the God of Order and Goodness, I hope that my friend can choose to be a good person, at least Don’t be sorry for your conscience, and I hope that when we meet again we won’t be on a life-and-death battlefield, and I hope that we can still talk quietly and friendly like we do today, okay?”

With Kristine's intelligence, she was no match for Ji Ming. Her brain had been forcibly washed by his theories long ago, so although she still looked vaguely understanding, she nodded firmly.

"I...I understand! I will try hard to be a good person!"

Ji Ming nodded slightly.

"Ok."

【Still fooling! Still cheating! Savior, do you understand these weird words? 】

"Isn't this difficult to understand? I am trying to persuade people to be kind!"

"Christine can reach over forty levels in a remote place like Sunshine City. If she returns to the Deep Forest Kingdom and eats two more good meals, who knows how many levels she can reach."

"At that time, it might be a general from the enemy. I have eliminated him in advance. What a great achievement!"
