There is an old saying that it is called one day in the cave, and it has been a thousand years in the world.

This sentence is still applicable in the current situation, because Xu Shi, who finished the first training of the little empress, found that the flow of time in the "liminal space" seems to be different from the outside world, and on the whole it is much slower.

Originally, I thought it was the first time, and it took some time before, so he deliberately restrained himself in the first lesson he gave to Dongfang Xiao, and it lasted for an hour.

As a result, when the disability returned to reality, only a quarter of an hour had passed on the clock on the wall, which shows that the ratio was one to four.

Is that actually the case? He vaguely remembered that the last time he had a spiritual exchange with Miss Black Rabbit was not like this, but it was one-to-one at that time.

However, the "liminal space" was not completely used that time, at best, it was connected to the channel, not the current fully enclosed...... Presumably that's the difference?

Oh roar, that's kind of interesting.

Doesn't that mean that you can squeeze in more time later...... This is the first thought that comes to some people's hearts, after all, when they visit Dongfang Xiao in the future, they also have other things to do, and the complications of a good fiancée must also be treated, right?

It's wonderful...... As for the rest, he didn't think about it for the time being, there was no traditional fantasy fairy tale, after the protagonist found the treasure that compressed time, he began to bury his head in the strength of cultivation.

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 had returned to reality after the same ability was lifted, and was gasping for breath.

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

The little empress's consciousness was still a little confused, and she replied weakly after hearing the words for a while, "Hmm......"

She didn't seem to be able to separate the two different worlds, and her mind was a mess, and it took a while to realize that the shameful clothes had returned to normal, and the filth on her body was gone.

She was able to sit up straight from her semi-paralyzed state, and her breathing gradually became normal.

It's just that the crimson on his face can't fade for a long time, after all, although the flesh has not been trained in any substance, that memory is really imprinted in his mind.

It's so shameful...... Anyway, an hour ago, she was still an innocent little girl who hadn't even held a man's hand, so even if Xu Shi felt that she had restrained herself, those methods were still a bit too much for her.

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

As for that feeling of dizziness, it has always existed, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with how Xu Shi treats her.

Xu Shi naturally knew this, it seemed that this was the spiritual impact of the "liminal space" on the recruiter, and it was as he expected, not too bad but definitely existing.

But if there is only this level, it seems to be within an acceptable range...... Maybe it can really be as Xia Wuwu said before, let her also come in for cultivation?

Of course, this may be related to Dongfang Xiao's own ability to be holy light, so his resistance is high in this regard, and he has to observe it again.

"Then take a good rest."

He didn't care too much about what the little empress was thinking, he just touched her head, "That's all for today, continue next time." ”

It's finally over...... Hearing him say this, Dongfang Xiao could only feel relieved in her heart, no matter what happened after that, today was really like a nightmare for her, and she needed a good rest to digest it.

It's just that.

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

"Speaking of which...... Since you have become my slave, it seems that it is okay not to fulfill what I promised? ”

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

！

These words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and they exploded in Dongfang Xiao's head in an instant.

Of course, she knew that the deal with Xu Shi was a gamble, and since it was a gamble, she had to take into account the risk of losing everything.

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

The impact of the failure of the gamble also made her unacceptable, and the whole person suddenly showed a collapsed look.

"You, you can't ...... We said yes......"

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

Xu Shi didn't eat this, and the smile on his face became worse and worse, "It's strange that you are too gullible to trust others...... And even if I regret it, what can you do? ”

"I ......"

These words can be regarded as poking Dongfang Xiao's heart, yes, the imprints have been planted, and she has no way to refuse.

At this moment, she was really panicked, hurriedly stood up and rushed to Xu Shi, and said anxiously, "No, no, please......"

As soon as she thought that in the future, not only would she be completely reduced to this guy's plaything, but her ambition would never be realized, the sense of despair in her heart began to spread, and the world in her eyes lost its color for a short time.

She even lost a little footing and almost fell to her knees - she had been in this position for the past hour in the "liminal space", and this was not a habit.

“…… Haha, I lied to you. ”

Seeing that she was really about to collapse, Xu Shicai gently helped her up, "Just a little joke...... Don't worry too much, I've got all the contracts for the Poseidon Stone trade, as well as the gold and silver coins that ease the market, and I'll send them to the palace later. ”

"Really, choose to believe me...... Then I'll go first, Your Majesty. ”

…… Ay?

The back that had been waiting for a while disappeared, and Dongfang Xiaocai came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.

She doesn't know how to describe her current mood, because from the beginning to the present, her heart has been being picked up and put down by Xu Shi, and she doesn't know how many times the cycle has been repeated, and now she is a little numb.

“…… Come. ”

After adjusting her state, she commanded softly.

"Your Majesty."

Soon a waiting female officer came and answered respectfully.

In their eyes, Dongfang Xiao is naturally still the empress who is high, and this has not changed in the slightest.

"Swing and go back to the dormitory."

The little empress said lightly, still the same posture of the superior.

But in fact, she felt like crying right now.

……

Xu Shi, who left the imperial study, was in a good mood and found other people waiting in the outer palace.

But when he came here, he was very happy to see this scene.

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

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

And then...... Everyone's current state is that they don't say a word, their eyes are wide and their eyes are small.

Although it is not sabre-rattling, it does smell a little bit of gunpowder.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Shi felt strange, so he poked the stupid apprentice Pan Ling who was sitting at the end.

"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, quite like a "single person watching" on the basketball court, and then naturally, she brought others in.

"You're so naïve."

After listening to her, Xu Shi couldn't cry or laugh.

"Brother Xu."

Cheng Gujian also sensed his arrival, got up and said with a smile, "It seems that this sister of yours seems to have a big opinion of me. ”

I don't see any displeasure in him, and if you think about it carefully, at his realm level, because this thing is a bit too downgrade.

"Of course, if you didn't save your brother before, of course you were a bad person."

Shen Qin was also blunt, and did not hide his displeasure with him at all.

After the memory was reshaped, her personality seemed to have become a lot simpler, and at first glance she still felt a little silly......

"You can't say that, Xiaoqin."

Xu Shi said with a straight face, but there was no sternness in his tone, "Brother Cheng is our very good partner, you are very rude like this." ”

"It's okay, I think the housegirl is cute."

When he said this, Cheng Gujian could only wave his hand to show that he didn't care, "Your surnames are different...... Is it a righteous sister? ”

Xu Shi nodded, "Well, it's dry." ”

"What's wrong with my godsister, do you look down on my godsister?"

Shen Qin didn't give up, and he had to say a little bit.

It's okay to my sister?

"Xiaoqin."

Xu Shi stopped another sentence, and Miss Shen Qin stopped talking and stood behind him obediently.

"Where, Brother and Sister Xu, even I envy it."

Cheng Gujian was not interested in Xu Shi's family affairs, and asked about the matter in a perfunctory manner, "Now you have also met Your Majesty alone...... But what are the results? ”

"Of course, there is."

Xu Shi did not hide it, "Her Majesty the Empress is willing to help my wife, how can I not know about Entu?" ”

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

"Husband......

The dog woman was also very cooperative, holding his hand, looking like she was about to cry.

I don't dare to say that there is no true feeling at all, but there are indeed a lot of ingredients in the performance.

In addition, he basically told Cheng Gujian about the deals reached with the little empress, such as saving the main city market, developing the empire together, and even opening a church.

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

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

Cheng Gujian thought for a while and said, "Your willingness to continue to cooperate sincerely with the royal family is naturally a good thing for us." ”

Should I say it or not, he actually still had some concerns about Xu Shi meeting Dongfang Xiao alone, and the time of this conversation was not too short, so he did have the idea of going over to take a look.

But hearing this series of plans, everything seemed to be reasonable again, and he couldn't get out of being stared at by Shen Qin just now, and his worries were much lighter.

As for whether Xu Shi will reach other deals with Dongfang Xiao...... He didn't think much of that.

First, it may be that Dongfang Xiao's image left him is too good, and secondly, his own strength is here, whether it is himself or his control over the imperial royal family...... So he's not worried.

This is the self-confidence .gif of the SS-class "Chosen One".

"It's not too early...... I'm sending you out of the palace? ”

He got up and said, "Speaking of which, how long does Brother Xu plan to stay in the main city this time?" ”

"Whatever you say, I'll have to wait until my wife's illness is cured."

Xu Shi said with a smile, I have to say that this reason is really useful, and others can't find fault with it...... And when Xie Qingyan's complications will be cured, they have the final say, even if they are good, they can say that they are not good, right?

The main thing is to completely turn the little queen into a well-behaved flannel ball...... Ahem, how did you say what was in your heart......

"Also, I'm going to start a Protestant church in the future, so I'm sure I'll be staying in the main city for a long time."

“…… This is not an easy task, and the Holy See will certainly not sit idly by, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

Cheng Gujian muttered, "Of course, if you need any help, I will naturally not be stingy. ”

As I said before, he didn't bother to take care of Xu Shi's family affairs, as long as it sounded reasonable, there seemed to be no reason to interfere.

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

In fact, he had considered something similar before, and this was indeed a good way to check and even eliminate the Holy See...... It's just that the Holy See has long been ingrained in the hearts of the people, and it is easy to say, but it is not easy to do.

Now that Xu Shi, a foreigner, has mentioned it, it is a good thing for him, if he fails to succeed, he can also throw all the pot at him, and the royal family does not need to bear too much pressure.

No matter how you think about it, you don't lose money.

"Then thank you Brother Cheng."

Xu Shi was polite and parted with him outside the palace gate.

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

“…… I'm afraid my husband is going to die of joy. ”

As soon as they parted, Xie Qingyan's sincerity immediately decreased a lot, but he squeezed Xu Shi's hand a little teasingly, "Say, what did you do to the little empress?" ”

"Humph......"

Of course, he was honest with his own people, and whispered a few words in her ear.

"I knew it."

The dog woman was not surprised and rewarded him with a roll of the eye.

In fact, she was a little glad in her heart, because if Xu Shi didn't do this, she would become the one who was seeded...... Just listening to his "short teaching" today, the arrogant Xie Dong is a little Bengbu, what is it.

But there are also unhappy people, although Xu Shi did it for her, but he knew what the picture would be after thinking about it with his feet.

I'm afraid that in addition to treating themselves, these two people are also indispensable...... It's still unpleasant to think about, huh.

"There's no way, I have to give an explanation to my family."

Xu Shi said cheekily, who let himself set the flag before? In that case, no matter how hard and tired you are, you have to do it.

I can only suffer myself.

"Aunt Xie met her father on the first day?"

Xia Ke'an didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, although he didn't hear it, he guessed a little, "I'm more curious, Dad, how do you plan to open this so-called Protestantism." ”

"Well...... this"

Xu Shi was about to share his plan, but saw a team of people walking not far away.

The leader is also an old acquaintance, the Holy See's Templar Lu Baiyan.

"Mr. Xu."

The other party made a standard knightly salute, "I wonder if Your Excellency is free now, can you come to the Holy See for a while?" ”
