"Although the contract is unilateral, in practice, I accept it. Lin Xiu continued.

What, what?

Did this kid just say that he accepted it?

Lin Yan hadn't figured out how to respond to the unexpected development in front of him, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but look at his son even more. For Admiral Lin, this expression was definitely a gaffe.

"I know the news is surprising. I'm sorry, Dad, you don't have to worry about my contract with the Demon King, I'll take care of it myself. Lin Xiu bowed slightly to his father, this is not the etiquette of a soldier to his superiors, but the son to his father. Lin Xiu lowered his gaze and said apologetically, "I have fully expressed all kinds of reasons and wishes for refusal, and the Demon King said that he is still insistent, so I judged that it was better to accept." ”

There is a history of invasion of the ancient demon realm, and the specific purpose of this demon king is unknown, so it is naturally easier to grasp near than far. Lin Xiu believes that needless to say, his father can understand this.

Lin Xiu raised his head, and his tone became formal again: "But these are my emergency judgments, and now I have reported it, please ask the minister for instructions." ”

Lin Yan finally listened to all his son's "reports", and then, the well-informed old man found that now he didn't say "instructions", he was actually a little confused about where he should focus his thinking.

According to common sense, the focus of thinking should be the Demon King's entry into the human world. However, as a father, Lin Yan couldn't help but think about his son's love. He always thought that his son was at most a dull and passive person in love, but at the moment, this is far from being a problem of dullness and passivity. In fact, Lin Yan felt that his son's appearance this time was not passive at all, or even the opposite.

However, if the measurement of the suitability of the target candidate is temporarily excluded, a person in the face of love, on the premise of refusal, earnestly expresses his acceptance of the contract, and then asks his superiors for instructions in a public manner...... This kind of behavior always feels very abnormal.

I can't grasp a clear clue, so I can only analyze the actual situation, Lin Yan thought, then, now he is more active to want to meet the demon king named Garthersis Hill.

So in this case, the father and son changed into civilian clothes and went directly to the lounge to invite Garthersis to lunch together. Of course, also because of such a special situation, the rotating hot pot plan finally failed, Lin Yan decided to treat the three of them to a high-end Western food with a quiet environment.

It's a short drive, and there's nothing to say all the way.

Until he sat down at the table, his head was up, and Garthersis did not make any comments at all. Lin Yan looked at the smiling and handsome face of a certain demon king that said "I am an obedient junior", and felt that he couldn't be silent anymore and had to talk about some substantive topics.

Speaking of which, for more than 100 years, with the development of science and technology, the dependence of productivity on the number of people has been qualitatively reduced, and people's thinking has also changed. Nowadays, "sexuality" is almost the same as "gender", just a piece of information on a resume. For Lin Yan, no matter whether Lin Xiu is in love with a woman or a man, if this question alone, he will not interfere in half a sentence...... Unfortunately, it is obviously not so simple now.

"I heard Lin Xiu say that Mr. Hill made a contract with him yesterday. Lin Yan poked into the point, and in just one sentence, he not only pointed out the identity of Garthasis, but also showed his understanding of the incident.

"Yes. Garthersis nodded, then stood up, "You can call me Garthersis or Sith." I can call you 'Uncle Lin'. In fact, just like Lin Xiu said, we are now in a relationship on the premise of marriage...... Lin Xiu agreed last night. ”

Why does this sound so similar to what he said when he was "meeting his parents"? Lin Yan froze awkwardly in an indescribable mood. The greetings when "meeting the parents", Lin Yan himself had also visited his father-in-law, of course he knew it very well, but the problem was that this was said by a certain demon king, and it was really awkward to say it so smoothly.

However, Lin Yan found that his son didn't seem to feel the same way as him.

To say that it is simply awkward, Lin Xiu was awkward when he made a decision yesterday, not to mention that he didn't feel anything in love. In response to Garthasis's words, Lin Xiu naturally opened his mouth to confirm: "I do agree. But, on the premise of marriage, I'm very sorry, with all due respect, I must have clearly conveyed the meaning of refusal last night, Mr. Hill should understand that I can't marry you and make you a member of the Lin family. ”

"Well, don't worry, I know what you mean. Garthasis looked at Lin Xiu and smiled, and said in his deep and sexy voice.

Lin Xiu's meaning is very clear, a certain Cheng dù, it can be said that he knows Lin Xiu far better than Lin Yan, and he has been very clear about Lin Xiu's feelings in an abnormal state of "complete severance" in love...... Lin Xiu completely gave up on love.

Thoroughly, thoroughly, let go, discard.

Garthasis felt astringent in his heart, perhaps, he should sigh: Lin Xiu is really that Lin Xiu, and his words count.

Thinking so, Garthersis expressed his love with all his might: "Then, regarding 'dating on the premise of marriage', my Blue Star language has not learned the wrong words, and it does not conflict with your meaning." ”

“…… Purely literal and logical. Lin Xiu nodded, not overly entangled.

"I will try to make it change from a 'premise' to a 'result', and now with your approval, entering the door of the Lin family is the most important thing for Garthersis. Garthersis said.

"Entering the door of the Lin family, I have very high requirements for the daughter-in-law of the Lin family. Lin Yan whispered with a smile beside him.

"Yes. Strive to do better than other men and women, and become a ......" Gather Siston paused, his smile deepened, and his tone was a little smiling, but his voice was even lower, "The qualified daughter-in-law of the Lin family, please believe that Garthersis has such intentions. ”

Lin Yan was originally reflecting on himself, because even if this scene was too abnormal, but at his age, in the face of his son's emotional problems, he accidentally said what was in his heart. Lin Yan was thinking about how to deal with the demon king in front of him in the future, but unexpectedly found that the demon king was not only not angry about the term "daughter-in-law", but also accepted it naturally.

Lin Xiu only subconsciously stated the facts from his own point of view at first, and he naturally considered the problem from the perspective of "marrying", and as a result, Lin Yan also followed the words of his thoughts......

The scene was eerily silent for a while, and I have to say that when Garthasis said such a thing, even Lin Xiu blackened.

"Well, ahem, Mr. Hill, please take a seat. Lin Yan said. Anyway, let's sit down first.

Garthersis bowed slightly and sat back down.

Lin Yan saw Garthersis' every move in his eyes, and at the same time, he felt all kinds of awkwardness in his heart, but he gradually got used to this strange atmosphere and resumed his thoughts. His common sense told him that although the current trend of social thought has changed, men and women are equal, and sexual orientation is open, everyone also has traditional and historical knowledge, and the magic realm is also the same. If a man, especially a man with strong power and high status, doesn't care about being called a "daughter-in-law", then either he really doesn't take love seriously, or ...... Really, seriously.

…… Is the Demon King serious?

Impossible.

"I would like to ask a rather rude question, and I hope that Mr. Hill will not blame him if he cannot answer it. Lin Yan thought for a while and said.

"Uncle Lin has any questions, please feel free to ask. Garthersis replied in the "meet the parents" style.

What an awkward "Uncle Lin". The father and son of the Lin family all felt so, but if a certain demon king was willing, they didn't seem to be able to correct anything.

Lin Yan let himself ignore the title of "Uncle Lin" as much as possible, and asked, "Then I'll ask." I'd love to know what Mr. Hill was planning to do here. If there's anything I can do to help, I'm willing to cooperate. ”

Lin Yan's consideration, decided that it was better to change the topic temporarily, and he could no longer continue to talk about weird and abnormal love, and besides, asking the purpose of the Demon King, he should also be able to infer another question from the side - what is the purpose of the Demon King's inexplicable attitude towards his son.

"My plan is to try to get Lin Xiu's love, and Uncle Lin is willing to cooperate, it couldn't be better. Garthersis said sincerely.

The topic quickly and directly turned back again......

Lin Yan's face darkened, and he simply asked directly: "Okay, Mr. Hill said so, then as a father's standpoint, let me ask again, what is Lin Xiu's attraction? To be honest, Lin Xiu usually doesn't even smile." With such a sudden contract, it is difficult for a father to rest assured. ”

"Not a sudden contract...... Lin Xiu and I, in this parlance, should be 'destined in a previous life'. Garthersis was serious.

Lin Yan's face couldn't help but turn black again.

Lin Xiu was thoughtful, he was thinking about the possibility that Garthersis recognized the wrong person.

Garthasis continued to answer Lin Yan's question: "Regarding Lin Xiu's attractiveness, Uncle Lin asked this question, but he was too unconfident in Lin Xiu. As for Lin Xiu, he doesn't even smile at all, I don't think it's anything. Speaking of which, I can probably imagine the reason why Lin Xiu didn't laugh. Garthersis couldn't help but laugh when he thought of something, and at the same time there was some indescribable expectation on his expression, carefully observing Lin Xiu's reaction and saying, "Personality problems, this can't be solved by laughing or not. …… For example, someone, with that kind of personality, even if someone is kind and smiling, everyone will only feel more depressed. ”

Garthersis's explanation can be said to be very abstract, however, Lin Xiu unexpectedly found that he actually had a vague sense of identity in his heart.

Lin Yan didn't quite understand Garthasis's explanations and examples, however, he was surprised to find that there was actually a sense of agreement in his son's expression!?Was it his delusion, he suddenly felt that there really seemed to be a little bit of a relationship between his son and the demon king...... Tacit understanding?

Lin Yan looked at his son, and then at Garthasis. Because of the special identity and origin, the topic of this meeting has always been very weird, but now that I think about it from beginning to end, this conversation is really like "meeting parents", and it really confirms that the demon king "will not be in danger for the time being", Lin Yan came to this conclusion very helplessly.

Life is short, not to mention that the foreseeable death is almost at hand, so shouldn't he be more free, and his son's love state, to be honest, doesn't seem to be more normal than that demon king......

Thinking of this, Lin Yan came to a conclusion in his heart: "I understand the situation. Then, I will keep an eye on both public and private, please understand Mr. Hill. ”

"Of course I understand. Lin Yan is Lin Xiu's adoptive father, and Garthasis was still very happy to get Lin Yan's words, he looked at Lin Yan and added with deep meaning, "If anything happens in the future, you can also treat me as your own." ”

This meaningful sentence caused Lin Yan's heart to move. However, he was immediately relieved that who Garthersis Hill was, the identity of the Demon King, and the secrets he knew no less than him.

"'What if something happens'......" Lin Yan repeated meaningfully.

"I've been neighbors for thousands of years, and it's obvious who is far away and who is close. Garthersis said.

"Definitely. Lin Yan said.

There was obviously a conversation in the words, Lin Xiu didn't ask much, in his opinion, the secrets he knew and the secrets he didn't know were all intelligence. After listening to this, he can already make some inferences.

***

In the eyes of later generations, the epoch-making "meeting parents" ended in a mess.

In the next few days, Garthersis knew that Lin Xiu was about to go to the University of R for a teaching visit, so he prepared a bunch of excuses and asked Lin Xiu to go with him.

It's a pity that a bunch of excuses didn't work. Garthersis offered to go along, but Lin Xiu didn't ask for an excuse at all, just nodded and said, "Mr. Hill is free."

In this way, Garthersis not only prepared to go along, but also intensified the "Campus Pursuit Plan".

Throughout the process, Garthersis became more and more convinced that Lin Xiu's enthusiasm for sleep was definitely his number one enemy. In order to make himself more attractive than sleeping, the Demon King carefully studied the "love strategy" on the Internet, and he felt that the Internet was very useful. Lin Xiu now lives in this society, so it is better to pursue nature in the way of this society, speaking of which, from the beginning, in addition to the "bitter meat plan" did not work, Garthasis believes that the knowledge on the Internet is still very effective.

The days before going abroad are relatively relaxed and enjoyable......

R Country, T Capital, Seventh Desire-

People have seven emotions and six desires, so what is the seventh ** that transcends morality and common sense? The seventh desire, here is the T capital and even the world's famous**, I heard that the original predecessor was the famous Kabuki street, and now it is more luxurious and advanced, huge in scale, and more challenging **bottom line.

At this moment, as the behind-the-scenes boss of the Seventh Desire, Nobuaki Sato is dressed in casual modern clothes and sits in the underground office of the Seventh Desire. The small pot from before was suspended in front of him, and the black gas emitted from the pot displayed an image. If you look closely, it is actually a picture of Lin Xiu attending class and Garthasis smiling and listening.

Nobuaki Sato's face was not very pleasant, and he sent Shikigami to country Z to monitor for many days, and in order to avoid being detected by Garthersis Hill, he also got such a public scene. But this scene is already very telling, the two people who have only known each other for a few days seem to be not making slow progress, and the demon gentleman is very active.

Does he need to change his strategy accordingly?

At that moment, a voice came from the communication terminal in the room: "Lord Shinmei, Mr. Suleiman Ben Birla has arrived. ”

"Let him in. Nobuaki Sato said, but he didn't seem to have any intention of putting away the small pot in front of him.

After a while, I saw a foreign man in a suit, wheat-colored skin, and slender and upturned eyes walked in, the man was tall, and his long, straight black hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of his head, giving people a very gentlemanly feeling of artistic temperament.

But of course, this person is not an artist, Suleiman Ben Bella, a native of M, known as the world's rare earth king. His rare earth mines are spread across the world's land and sea, occupying and plundering markets through price wars, and he can be said to be the lifeblood of the new era of energy, and in order to ensure the normal operation of business, his private mercenary army and arms power are also very large.

"I knew that it must be the 'magician' who came to explore the clues of the energy storm from country M, not the 'Sword Master' and the 'Dream Weaver'. Nobuaki Sato said leisurely.

"Haha, of course, I petitioned myself, it's rare that I don't have to make excuses for those officials, and I can come to see you for a legitimate reason. Suleiman said, "Sato, you don't seem to be in a good mood." After the greetings, Suleiman said in his hoarse, seductive voice.

"Hehe, is that obvious...... I can't help it, I fell in love with someone, and now not only did I not get it, but I also watched him make out with others. Nobuaki Sato said.

"Oh, let me see who is so ignorant. Suleiman looked at the picture of the black mist, and then showed a surprised expression, "Both of them are superb, which one do you fancy Sato?"

"Possess demonic blue eyes. Nobuaki Sato said with admiration.

"In that case, let's kill the other one, I'm surprised that you didn't do it. ”

"Do you know who the other person is?" Nobuaki Sato rolled his eyes.

"Who is it?"

"That person is the 'judge' of country Z. ”

"Ha, I see. But even if you are a judge, with your methods of Lord Sato Nobuaki, it will be easy to make him disappear. Suleiman said.

"You don't know, the 'Inquisitor' ability is quite good, it's a pity to kill him directly, I'm wondering if I can take him. Nobuaki Sato smiled charmingly.

Suleiman seemed to be seduced, and his expression and voice were a little sad: "The word 'received' is really unpleasant to think about. You know, that night I still remember, and as soon as I heard that it was about your mission, I rushed over at once. ”

"Huh. Nobuaki Sato smiled and said nothing.

"Well, in this way, in order to help you solve the obstacle of pursuing a new love, and to help me relieve the boredom of being rejected by you again, I will solve the 'Inquisitor'. The old way, while he came to investigate, just turned him into a slave of the seventh desire, and made him a person who can no longer stand in front of people and hinder you, but can only please me in the dark, how about it? And the slave of the seventh desire is naturally a subordinate that you can use at will, and it will not prevent you from using his ability. Suleiman said.

"I'm afraid you're playing with fire. Nobuaki Sato said.

"What's wrong?" Suleiman was a little surprised.
