From night to day, from sunrise to sunset, from the couch to the bed to the carpet, Wren and Red Queene wasted no time or space, they only rested in the morning and at noon when the waiters delivered their meals, at most an hour or two, and the heavy gasps and coquettish moans would sound again.

During this time, every guest passing by will unconsciously stop in front of the door and listen for a while, which is not to blame, after all, the movement coming from the house is too much. The man's muffled snort was naturally nothing good, but the woman in it—the woman was simply a model of shamelessness, but even the slightest hint of shame probably couldn't make her kind of scream.

"Honey, shouldn't we go?"

In front of the door of the room, a well-dressed gentleman whispered to his female companion, "We shouldn't eavesdrop on other people's privacy, what if the people inside find out?" ”

"Discovered?"

The female companion gave him a disdainful look, and then the slut in the room let out a loud scream again, and it sounded as if she had climbed to the top again, "Listen to this movement, as if the whole world knew about it—are they afraid that people will find out?" ”

"Dinos is on top, this is really immoral."

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Let's go, let's go, there's nothing to hear at all, it's too embarrassing to be called like this-"

"I'd rather be 'ashamed' like this again, you useless thing."

The woman was dragged up the stairs by the man and muttered dissatisfiedly, "'Maybe it's because it's not exciting to do it at home, let's go to the hotel, maybe it's better to change the environment'—heh, that's nice—"

"You should get a soundproofing."

Inside the house, Wren, who had once again ended the battle, frowned and said, "You scratch like a she-cat, and you scream like a she-cat, all of which are clearly heard by the tenants who come and go." ”

"It's good, they now know what a real man should be like in bed."

Honghime lay on Wren's shoulder, her fingers unconsciously drawing circles on his chest, the afterglow of her ascension just now had not completely faded, and her lower body was still twitching lightly. Wren is secretly proud of this, but I have to admit that after this time, it is basically the limit - the woman in her arms is too powerful, her terrible thing is not that she is dissatisfied, but that she can ignite a new desire soon after each satisfaction, it seems that she will never feel bored, and every time she can devote herself and enjoy it like the first time - Wren does not have her one-click factory reset function, for him, no is nothing, there is really no drop.

It's not bad to just warm up like this for a while, Wren thought, and then noticed that Honghime's body had moved outwards and was no longer clinging to him. This made Wren, who had planned to get tired of it for a while, feel a little lost, and he ordered himself to stop quickly, this boring thought would only destroy the pure physical relationship between the two.

"You see, young and impulsive Mr. Wren."

Honghime stepped out of bed naked, grabbing a sheet and wrapping it around her chest, "Actually, neither magic nor holding a knife to my neck like you did last night can really conquer a woman - the best way to make her docile is to work hard between her legs." ”

She walked over to the wine closer, picked up a bottle of red wine and a new glass, "I hope you'll be able to behave like this next time we meet." ”

"If you want me to say forget it."

Wren stretched for a moment, then put on his clothes and got out of bed. In the morning, Honghime used healing spells to heal his broken leg again, and by this time nearly ten hours had passed, and the pain in the broken bone was not very obvious - as long as he was not kicked again, then it should be healed by this time tomorrow.

"Forget it?"

Red Hime raised an eyebrow and handed the bottle to Wren.

"yes, let's forget about the next meeting or something—I figured it out."

He took the bottle and instead of drinking it, he put it back in its place, "There's no way I'm going to get any useful information out of your mouth, can I?" Come to think of it, I don't really have to know who you are, where you're from, what you've done before, and what you're going to do in the future. There are so many strange people and things in this world, Miss Honghime, even if you are an evil one, at least I have not been tasked with hunting you down right now—so, yes, let what is happening now stay in the present. ”

"Well, I hate to admit it, but I'm thinking the same as you at the moment, Mr. Wren."

Honghime smiled and took a sip of wine, "After all, my wedding is about to take place, and I can't let anything affect it." ”

"yes, after all, your wedding is about to take place - what did you say?"

Wren slammed his mouth shut and spoke again after a full ten seconds, "Wedding? Your wedding? Or did I hear it wrong? ”

"It's 'wedding,' you heard it right."

"It's the kind of boring, contrived, embarrassing ritual where the man puts on the gown, the woman puts on the veil, the two men stand in front of the priest and say 'I do' to each other, and the others clap stupidly?"

"I can see you seem to be disgusted with getting married, Mr. Wren."

"No, no, I think getting married is a beautiful thing, I'm not disgusted, it's just that I am extremely shocked when it happened to you!"

Wren stared and took two steps back, looking at Honghime seriously from top to bottom, "I'll confirm again - you're getting married?!" ”

"I'm getting married."

"With whom?!"

"A man."

"God, is the world going to be destroyed?"

Wren looked up to the sky and sighed, but still had a lot of doubts about it. Ten minutes ago, the two of them were hungry as if they were going to eat each other, and there were traces of their happiness everywhere in this room, and suddenly she said she was getting married?!

"Well, it's not accurate to just use 'a man' to describe my future husband."

Red Ji saw the suspicion in Wren's face, "He's a very powerful widower, in a high position, and he's in the prime of life—well, that's probably it, and I'll keep the rest a secret for now." In short, he is a marriage partner that countless single women covet, but he loves me like crazy love. ”

Wren didn't pay much attention to the political situation of the Holy Light Empire, and he couldn't figure out who this 'high-ranking man who lost his wife in the prime of life' was.

"I don't understand."

He scratched his head in annoyance, grabbed the wine bottle he had just put down, and took a sip, "A powerful law controller like you wouldn't commit to a man for the sake of power or wealth - don't tell me it's because of 'love', I'd rather believe that Rod Palmer and Archbishop Myccella have a leg, and I don't believe that you would pursue any bullshit 'love' like an ordinary woman." ”

"Don't speak too absolutely, can't you see my love for you? Oh, I love you so much, Mr. Wren, and every moment I leave you makes me miserable, and every second I see you makes me horny—can't you still see that I love you? ”

Red Ji stretched out her arms to wrap her arms around Wren's neck, but he screamed out of the way.

"Don't, don't make such creepy jokes!"

"Okay, okay, it's boring."

Hongji sighed and said, "The times are not easy, even a beauty like me can't do everything as she pleases - I'm being targeted, understand?" ”

"Targeted?"

Wren asked, puzzled.

"The guy you mentioned, Rod Palmer, has his eye on me. Of course, he hasn't had a chance to meet with me yet, but I'm sure he's found out something about me and is secretly arranging it - I have my own channels of information, and I've been getting more and more annoyed lately. ”

"I don't want to bet against someone like Rhodes, and I don't want to provoke him to prove my strength - that's what aggressive males do," said Hung Ji calmly. What about me? I'm a woman and I just want to live my life as I please, and in this case, continuing to hide in the dark will only make my situation worse, so I need to find another way to get Rhodes to be jealous - say marry someone in power and stand under the same light as Rhodes. ”

"Aha, there's a conspiracy, I know! How could an evil woman like you marry for love! ”

Wren snapped his fingers excitedly.

"Oh? You seem to be very happy that my marriage is just a show, don't you want me to be someone else's wife? ”

"It's not funny at all."

Wren said gloomily: "In addition, your plan sounds effective at first glance, but it does not stand up to scrutiny at all, with the influence of the Holy See of Light in Artya, they don't have to bow down to the secular power at all, no matter how powerful the person you want to marry, I'm afraid he won't be able to protect you for a long time." ”

"It's my own problem, and it's something that I will have to deal with at some point in the future, and until then, I dare say I'll be able to get away with it for a while."

Hongji took off the sheets wrapped around her body, and her tall and perfect ketone body was displayed in front of Wren again, "One more time, one last time?" ”

"No, I'm tired, even if I'm not tired, I don't want to do this for the time being."

Wren quickly shook his head.

"Oh, no matter how delicious things are, you will feel tired after eating them too many times, man—forget it, let's go downstairs and have a serious dinner."

Red Ji glared at him slightly, then reached out and snapped her fingers, and a black evening gown flew through the closet, wearing it on her as if she were at the mercy of an invisible hand.

"Is it pretty? Or do you prefer the red dress that Barthes did? Don't say 'whatever', 'whatever', 'please hurry up' – that's something that a completely uninteresting goof-headed goose would say. ”

"Seriously, even if you cut a few holes in the sack and put it on your body, it won't affect your beauty in the slightest."

Wren said indifferently: "Judging from the appearance alone, no one would have thought that a woman like you would be personally concerned by God's Wrath Rod, you know, this is not a privilege that ordinary evildoers can have." ”

"You have your own views on 'justice,' and I obviously have a different understanding of 'evil.'"

"I need to stress again that not everyone has to do everything with some kind of motive - take you, Mr. Wren, you must have had the experience of pulling a few leaves off when you were a child walking through the grass or flower beds?" ”

"Absolutely."

Wren nodded, muttering to himself that it would be the same as a child, even now.

"What is the motive for that?"

"It's not about motivation, it's just that I unconsciously did something indifferent at that time."

"That's it, everybody did something similar, right?"

Red Ji glanced at him, then came to the mirror, "For some reason, I don't usually stay in a place for too long, so as not to attract the attention of you and the kind of people behind you. Yes, I've traveled a lot of places, and giving a little help to the poor father and daughter in Red Sand City and the poor people like Catherine who can't help themselves, and that's just a 'handy' thing on the road—like you tugging at a handful of leaves, or kicking a pebble in the way—without purpose or in return, and of course, I occasionally look back to see where the pebble flew and where it landed. ”

"Like what happened in Quanshi Village this time?"

"That's right, like what happened in that village this time. Although I spend most of my time in the bigger towns – women like me don't sleep well on rocks and branches, and I need a comfy bed and a cosy environment – I do occasionally go for a walk in the mountains and change my mood. ”

"I stumbled upon a haunted village in the Lilvik Mountains while I was in the summer, and the female ghost was too weak, so I was kind enough to give her a little strength, and I went away." When I thought about it again and returned there, I was surprised to find that you were there - lo and behold, who would dare to say that our reunion was not arranged by fate. ”

"So,"

Wren stared at her stunned, "You did those things just because you were bored?" ”

"Exactly. Of course, I don't deny that it would be more fun if I could cause a little trouble for those self-proclaimed righteous believers of light. ”

"'A little trouble' - you don't even think about the consequences of your actions for ordinary people!"

"The consequences? What does it have to do with me? ”

Hongji stopped moving, turned around and said strangely: "Dominica's incurable illness was not caused by me, and Catherine's death has nothing to do with me - just like you throw a few spare money to a beggar on the street, it is not up to you to decide whether he gambles or gets drunk, and what he will do after losing the gamble or getting drunk is even less relevant to you." ”

"You're quibbling."

Wren said with a headache. If you want to hang her, you will hand a rope, and if you want to kill someone, she will send a knife, as Rhodes said at the beginning, this kind of behavior of hiding in the shadows and arching the fire for fear of chaos in the world is worse than those evil people who act with a purpose.

"Of course it's quibbles, it's a woman's right."

Red finally straightened her long red hair to the effect she wanted, she walked up to Wren with her chest held up, and took his arm, "Let's go, honey, let's go get something to eat." ”

"The Last Supper."

Wren's face was not very good, but he didn't shake her arm.

"It's heartless."

Hongji smiled and led him out of the room, and then the two of them went to the restaurant on the first floor of the Green Shade Hotel. This place has not changed much compared to Wren's memory, luxurious, gaudy, and pompous, the biggest difference is that when he walked into this place, it would definitely not be as eye-catching as it is today, although ninety-nine percent of those eyes were directed at Honghime, but it still made him feel very awkward.

"You're not like that, are you?"

After taking his seat, Wren lowered his voice and said.

"Which one?"

Red Hime raised her face and raised her arms, gracefully and contrivedly pulling the red hair draped over her shoulders back. Normally, there are very few parts of the body that can be displayed by this ordinary movement, but it is not so ordinary when she does it - not to mention the white neck and chest, even her crystal smooth armpits seem to exude an incomparably sweet allure, and when she lowers her arms, Wren can clearly hear a low sigh around her.

"It's like this,"

He stroked his hair like Hongji, "If I am targeted by Lord Rhodes, then I will definitely be as low-key as possible!" ”

"Beauty shouldn't be hidden, and if I dress up like a village girl because I'm afraid, that's the biggest crime against myself."

She glared at Wren dissatisfied, "Don't worry, even if I really fall into the hands of the temple, I won't give up your relationship with me, that's right, you don't have to worry about this at all." ”

"Ahem!"

Wren, who was told the matter, coughed violently twice, and then he realized that he didn't have to be embarrassed about it at all - the identities of the two were already on opposite sides, and he didn't care about being found out that he was a fool, right?!

"There are many ways in this world to get people to tell the truth."

He said calmly: "Also, I don't think that if you marry some big person, you will make Rhodes stop investigating you." ”

"What about Rhodes, and what about the wrath of God?"

Hongji smiled indifferently, "Nothing in the world is set in stone, even the gods will fall after losing all their believers, let alone a mortal. ”

“……”

Wren suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and was secretly pondering, when he heard her continue: "I am more worried about your future than I am worried about my own future." ”

"What do I have to worry about you?"

He asked warily.

"Everything you have now is tied too tightly to that guy Rhodes, and it's because of him that you've been able to get to where you are today - now you're like the vine tree planted in the square over there, usually you are fine, but if one of the trees or vines has a problem, the other side will be greatly affected."

"If Rod Palmer falls one day, how are you going to do it, my dear Mr. Rayne?" ”

"No kidding,"

Wren's tone unconsciously became irritated, "I don't think there's any way you can pull Lord Rhodes off his horse, he's a legendary hero, with a will and faith stronger than the Tassar Iron, and his combat power is even stronger - what can you do?" It's nothing more than a conspiracy or a sneak attack, these tricks can work against ordinary clergy, but they certainly don't work against a powerful witcher like Rhodes. ”

"Perhaps."

Red Ji smiled and didn't say anything more, waving his hand to the young waiter who had been waiting for a long time in the distance to order, and only after the young man reluctantly left with the menu did Wren speak again: "Unless—unless you're going to use me as tainted evidence against Lord Rhodes." ”

"I don't understand what you mean."

She shook her head slightly.

"Come on, tell you, it won't work. My experience has long been examined by the Holy Inquisition and the Black Court, and I am acquitted, understand? ”

Wren gritted his teeth and said, "Those high-ups know that I was forced to follow my father to commit those crimes, and that I was recommended to the witcher training camp by Rhodes as a clean white man, and all of this can stand up to investigation - even if it is checked again." ”

"Ha, so you're worried about this."

Honghime's smile became more and more playful, "I have to say that you are really young, Mr. Wren, you are also a member of the clerical system now, and you should know better than me that God's Wrath has a decisive reputation in the entire Bright Sect." How do you think that your little thing is enough to bring Rhodes down? What's more—"

She took a sip of the aperitif, "—not to mention that I am not willing to take the initiative to make a move that may hurt you unless I have to, this is my sincere words, believe it or not." ”

"And what the hell are you—"

Before he finished speaking, Wren suddenly stopped.

He knew very well that when the woman in front of him was willing to open her mouth, she would accept anything you put into her mouth, and when she didn't want to open her mouth, he would not want to pry something out of her mouth. Besides, with Lord Rhode's status and strength, it is really not the turn of others to worry about him, if there are any tricks that even God's Wrath Rhodes cannot deal with, then a rookie demon hunter like himself is even more powerless.

"Look, the food we ordered is coming up."

Red Hime's gaze crossed over to Wren and rested on the waiter's plate. The two of them didn't talk much during the meal, and the subtle silence lingered until they returned to their room.

"Let's say goodbye, Miss Hongji, I should really go back to the hunting camp to resume my life."

Wren picked up the rucksack with Pastor Brandon's head from the corner, "May I ask you one last question?" ”

"Please."

"Your mother must be happy that you're getting married, right?"

Wren asked seriously, he hadn't forgotten how he had met Red Hime, and it all started because he had helped a proud old woman in the capital's Holy Ables Square.

"My mother passed away a long, long time ago, but if she had known about it, she would have been happy for me. Well, I think so. ”

Red Hime replied with a smile.

"Was it a long, long time ago—"

Wren sighed, believing that Red Hime's answer was not a lie, but he could also feel that it was not the answer to his own question.

"Alright, then so be it, I have nothing to give you, Miss Honghime, just send a blessing - I wish you a happy marriage."

"Thank you, that's enough, having your company for the past two days has made me satisfied enough."

Red Hime stepped forward and left him a kiss on the cheek, "Take care of yourself, Mr. Wren." ”

Wren nodded, his mood at this time was a little complicated, the lingering with the woman in front of him for two days and one night was about to end, he wanted to say something more, but he was worried that it would be redundant. Although he has repeatedly said that he does not care about the 'position issue', he knows like all the people in the world who are not bad at the point that the position issue is absolutely sloppy - he does not care about the position, but there is no way not to care about his own life.

So after a moment of silence, Wren took out the teleportation scroll that was the target of the Temple of Light, and directly recited the secret spell.

When his figure completely disappeared into the air, Honghime poured herself a glass of wine, walked to the window and tasted it slowly, and after a while, a hoarse voice that could not distinguish between men and women spoke behind her:

"He's gone."

Honghime was not surprised, nor did she answer, her eyes were still staring indifferently out of the window. If she looked back, she would find that there was a dark figure in the room at some point, projected on the wall like a shadow puppet.

"Well, I just said some nonsense."

The Black Shadow paused and said, "Why did you tell him all that?" I'm a little worried that this will affect your wedding. ”

"No, it won't."

Red Hime finally spoke, "If you eavesdrop enough, you'll understand that I haven't said anything informative to him at all. Young Wren is smart, but not so smart that he can discern your true plans from those humble exchanges. ”

"'You'?"

The dark shadow said dissatisfiedly, "It's 'us', you and we will always be in the same boat." ”

"Never, heh, I wouldn't be so sure if I were you."

"Don't forget, my responsibilities have been relieved with the fall of the royal court, I like this new world, no one has any power to tie me and those painful memories again, this is the consensus between us, and the basis of our cooperation - if you want to end the cooperation, it's still too late." ”

"The royal court can be rebuilt!"

The dark shadow abruptly accentuated his tone.

"This kind of talk is just a matter of talking in the messy continent of Kalmdor, and Ardia can't tolerate such ambitions."

Hongji said disdainfully, "How long have you been operating in the Holy Light Empire?" Ten years, twenty years? Has it worked so far? ”

"You'll see, and if you want, stay in the country for a while longer after the wedding."

The Dark Shadow sneered and said, "I will show the covetous fellows of Kalmdo how I avenged my ancestors, and when I succeed in erasing the country founded by our sworn enemy, Akron Mighty, from Al Dia, I will gain unprecedented status and prestige, and the Holy See of Light will fall to the dust!" Yes, then the world will have a new king, and that will be me! ”

"Bored, I'm sleepy, please leave."

Red Hime turned and walked into the bathroom, and the dark shadow followed closely behind her on the white wall by the toilet.

"I'll just go, and one last thing I said, 'Gift' is ready. You want to make sure that the gift will make the most of your wedding. ”

"Don't talk to me in this commanding tone, I don't like it."

"Y-you're too arrogant, I don't have to choose your wedding! I can save the gift for my first birthday! ”

"yes, it's less than five months until the first birthday ceremony, of course you can afford to wait, right?"

“……”

"Forget it, I'll do my best to make that gift work."

Just as the black shadow shook for a while, and it was about to disappear, Hongji softened her tone and said, "Although I have nothing to do with you for a long time, I have to admit that I am still the most unpleasant kind of person in the Holy See of Light - so don't worry, for the sake of my free body, and for the sake of making the minions of Dinus suffer a little, please send a gift to my wedding." ”
