Chapter Seventy-Three: The Cunning Demon Maiden
"Are you going to take all of this with you?" Jiqi pointed to the messy stacks of comics and novels on his desk, tilted his head and asked the girl who was wrapped around him like an octopus. After the contract kiss just now, the relationship between the girl and him seems to have become closer in an instant, and it has become like a kitten who recognizes the owner, and likes to lie on his body.
"Surely they must be taken away, or will the Admiral want to throw them away?" Her little hands were tightly wrapped around Ji Qi's waist and abdomen, and her little head was leaning against his ear, revealing a pitiful expression of pleading.
"Okay, okay, I got it." Jiqi had no choice but to support his forehead, and he was completely defeated. He has no way to deal with such a girl, the only thing he can do is what the other party says and he does, just like a loyal servant. But when he signed the contract just now, he was the dominant demon king, so why is he acting like a pariah with no status now. He whispered in his heart.
Ji Qi sighed lightly, stretched out his hand and put the open and littered comic books one by one according to the number of episodes, while Noah's Ark was like a sloth, holding his demon king tightly, his little face buried in his warm back, and the corners of his mouth showed a satisfied and happy smile.
"Admiral, do you know?" The girl leaning behind her suddenly said.
"Know what?" Jiqi stopped the movement in his hand and turned his head slightly to look at the girl behind him.
"I'm happy now, I've never experienced it before." The girl murmured softly, her pale gray eyes crooked.
"It was me who was bad before, and I never found out that you were lonely and helpless." He neatly stacked a whole set of comic books, and his slender fingers kept jumping on the table. "Because I used to look at you, I always thought you were a noble lady, so I didn't dare to contact you." Indeed, when she met Noah's Ark for the first time, Jiqi had already seen the arrogance and disdain in her eyes, and there was no difference between her and those noble ladies in the academy.
"Does the eldest lady have to be left alone?" The girl retorted, with grievances in her voice.
"No, it's not." Ji Qi shook his head and smiled bitterly, he had almost no contact with people in the academy, but to be honest, his impression of these eldest ladies was not very good. He still remembers that when he first entered the college, few people knew that he was a student from the slums, because of his good looks and gentle speech, there were indeed a few girls who were shy to contact him, but after his identity was exposed by someone who was jealous, those girls all respected him, and even met superfluous eyes who were unwilling to stay, stranger than strangers. Since then, Jiqi has subconsciously labeled these aristocratic girls as not to touch, and rejects dialogue and contact with them from the bottom of his heart. "Because I met an eldest lady before, but in the end she became a colder existence than strangers, and then I tried to avoid contact with them."
"So the Admiral is also cold to me because of this?" The girl's hand around Jiqi seemed to become harder, she leaned on her back and whispered: "Actually, the Admiral just didn't have further contact, most of the time those eldest ladies are unwilling to have too much contact with you because of other people's words, because they still have to carry the expectations of the family, and sometimes a word from the elders of the family may decide their lives, so they are not as free as the Admiral thinks." "Before coming to the town guard's mansion, Noah's Ark had obtained all the information about Jiqi from Xu Kai, knew about the unfair treatment he received in the academy, and also knew how he had endured loneliness step by step over the years. Therefore, she could roughly guess the reason why those noble ladies were indifferent to the prayers, most of them were because the difference in status made them dare not have too much contact with the lowly existence in the eyes of their elders, after all, they were just a group of beautiful canaries with a restrained birdcage around them.
"Actually, I don't blame them, because their indifference to me has made me a lot less troublesome, at least those gentlemen won't deliberately find fault with me because a certain girl is close to me."
"I didn't expect the Admiral to be quite popular with girls in the academy!" Noah's Ark smirked.
"Of course, if it weren't for the shyness of my pocket, I think I might be a famous merry talent in the academy, the kind that doesn't stick to a leaf among thousands of flowers." Jiqi said self-deprecatingly, but if it was really as he imagined, maybe he wouldn't be standing here at all now, but spending time drinking in a certain Fengyue place. Power and power are the two things that make people lose themselves, and he can't guarantee that he can keep his heart in such a huge whirlpool.
"But in that case, the Admiral won't be the Admiral he is now, and he'll be a playboy I hate."
"But isn't it the same now?" Jiqi smiled weakly and bitterly, now there is no one in the town guard mansion who can say that he has an innocent relationship, and even Saratoga, who has the most thoughtless ideas, does not dare to have a clear conscience. He felt like a shameful scumbag, and he should be slashed hard, but he had a deep reluctance to give up, as if every girl was important to him, and he could exchange his life for any one. "First Wales, then Lexington, then you, don't you think I'm scumbag?"
"It's a scumbag, if my desire for monopoly is stronger, I will definitely kill the admiral and make him a doll, and then sleep with it every night." The girl had a vicious expression and said something terrifying. But then her tone softened again, as if helpless. "But what can I do? You are the Admiral, and you are the hope of the town guard, without you, the fate of the town guard house is only to be disbanded, and everyone can only go their separate ways, and even embark on a wandering journey from now on. So no matter how unwilling or reluctant you are, you can only learn to share it with everyone, so that although you don't get much, you can at least have your own share. She pinched the corner of Jiqi's clothes and whispered to herself in her heart, "You have also got your share of Noah's Ark." ”
"But it always feels like it's not fair to any of you."
"Fairness is only relative, and nothing in this world is absolute." Noah's Ark shook his head, "And the Admiral is like a torch to everyone, everyone sits around the light, everyone wants to have such a warm fire to themselves, but what about after that?" Once the torch is owned by one person, the others can only suffer in the darkness where there is no hope, and no one wants to stay in such a dark world, so the only way is to put the torch in the center of the crowd, so that everyone can get light and heat, although not much, but enough to illuminate themselves. ”
"So Noah's Ark, you want me to be a playboy?" Jiqi said half-jokingly.
"Who said that if you go to find some other girl in the future without our consent, I will tie you up and throw you in the town guard house with Wales and Lexington, like a captivity in a perverted comic, and we can play with you as much as we want at night!" Noah's Ark angrily pinched the tender flesh on the waist of this scumbag admiral with his fingers, twisted it vigorously to make him inhale the cold air, and let out a cry of pain begging for mercy.
"Don't don't," Jiqi pinched the girl's fierce soft and begged for mercy in a low voice. "Girl, I was wrong, I just said it casually, I didn't have such thoughts at all." The stupid demon king is defeated in front of the demon cute girl.
"Humph!" The girl snorted lightly and let go, "Who knows if you men have evil thoughts, anyway, my Demon King can't mention or say this kind of thought that should be punished by heaven in front of me, I will spare you this time, next time I will bite you on your neck!" She bared her teeth like an angry kitten baring its sharp teeth.
"Yes, yes, my contract girl, I won't dare next time." Jiqi raised his hand to surrender, and he instantly felt that he was the commander with the lowest status in the town guard mansion, and any cat or dog could ride on his head as a prestige, and all he could do was lie on the ground and wagging his tail to please these aunts. There is no chance to resist in front of Lexington, and she can only be conquered by a female knight in front of Wales, and she can't even please in front of Noah's Ark, as if the demon king in the contract is her, and she is the waste girl. But he doesn't hate this feeling, on the outside he can be a tough as steel admiral, but in the town guard mansion he is a good comrade who serves the people, isn't that what the saying goes? He is a good example for all admirals!
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Admiral...... Do you still have pain there? The girl's voice softened suddenly, and she raised her hand to gently knead the piece of soft flesh that she had pinched, "Does the Admiral think that I am excessive, like those noble ladies you have come into contact with, arrogant and unreasonable." She hugged Jiqi tightly, her voice trembling, for fear that she would be ruthlessly abandoned again in this lonely world with only herself.
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all." Jiqi held the girl's slightly trembling wrist and comforted softly.
"But it's me...... It's me who needs the Admiral's affection, but treats the Admiral so roughly. She whispered timidly, like a child making a mistake.
"Who said you were rude." Jiqi turned around, hugged the poor girl, and whispered in her ear, "You know what? Noah's Ark is actually the gentlest girl in the entire town guard's mansion. ”
"Huh? How...... How so? The girl looked up at the smiling Admiral, as if she did not understand what he was saying.
"Because Wales and Lexington are not gentle at all, and every night with them, I am a wretched worm crushed by them." In order to appease the girl's heart, Jiqi did not hesitate to expose the fierce news.
"Could it be that the Admiral is being oppressed by them like a girl every night?" Noah's Ark seemed to have received some terrible news, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes, and they can do whatever they want. That's why I said that Noah's Ark is the gentlest girl. Jiqi stroked the girl's soft side face with his hand.
"So does the Admiral think Sister Lexington and Sister Wales are rude?" A subtle sly smile appeared on the corner of the girl's mouth.
"yes, not as gentle as you at all." As he spoke, he squinted his eyes and rubbed the girl's cute cheek with his earlobe, as if enjoying her tenderness.
"So does the Admiral know what cruelty is?" The girl pressed her ear and said something inexplicable.
"Cruel? What is it...... Meaning? "I had a bad feeling in the moment.
"Admiral, how do you say they would respond to Sister Lexington and Sister Wales if I relayed these words to Sister Lexington and Sister Wales?" At this moment, the demon girl showed her pitch-black wings and sharp claws, and once again toyed with the stupid demon king between applause.
In an instant, Jiqi suddenly felt that his life was gray, he looked stupidly at the demon girl who was like a cunning fox wagging her tail and smiling, and only felt that there was no hope for the future, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.
