Cataclysm King

 Chapter 400 Help me unbutton

Katrina took Ji Xun's arm and walked out of the banquet hall under the attention of everyone.

 The two of them took the elevator and planned to go back to the suite on the top floor.

The elevator car is made of transparent tempered glass. As the height rises, the entire Machinery City gradually becomes visible.

There are no outsiders now, and Catalina's face has restrained the kind smile that a superior person would have when seeing everyone.

A trace of thought appeared on her brows, and she said after thinking about it: "Ji Xun, you will have a good rest at the base these days. As for other things, I will take care of them."

When Ji Xun heard this, of course he knew what she was talking about. He smiled calmly and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I may be wrong?"

 He did not doubt Caterina's skill.

Just like when she, a noble lady, first arrived in Sinless City, she dared to go to Honglou's casino to negotiate alone. Although he felt deflated when he met Qin Ru, his magnanimity and heroism that were not inferior to any man really impressed Ji Xun.

And now Catalina, who is the commander-in-chief of the Alliance Army, has a completely different mentality and means than before.

He is just a general Lagon who has just entered the seventh level, so he may not be able to handle it.

Hearing Ji Xun's words, Catalina glanced at him, with a cunning flash in her eyes, and a meaningful smile on her lips: "After all, I brought you here. Since General Lagon has murderous intentions for you, then so You just don’t take me as the commander-in-chief seriously.”

This is also true.

If a branch general dares to kill a close friend of the Commander-in-Chief, it means that the other party does not feel that his status is lower than that of the Commander-in-Chief from the bottom of his heart.

However, Ji Xun knew that she would not be so emotional, so he smiled and said, "That's it?"

Katerina looked at that joking look, and of course she knew she couldn't hide it.

There is no intention to hide it.

She said it directly: "Actually, if you don't tell me, I also got some information before. Not long ago, General Lagon didn't stop after he advanced. Not only did he frequently move around the major strongholds of the Alliance, but he also contacted people like the Rosen family , the Bebo family, and the Morton family, several close families, discussed some things. "

This is top-secret information that no one knows except her, the commander-in-chief.

 It was impossible to tell others, but she had no reservations about Ji Xun.

As soon as Ji Xun heard this statement, he already guessed that Catalina might have an intelligence source among those high-level officials.

The methods behind the superiors are never as glamorous as they seem.

 Katrina has always been a qualified leader.

She has a bright and gentle side like a rose, and she also has a tough side that will never be soft when attacking.

Ji Xun has seen it all before, so there is no surprise.

Katrina didn't hide it in front of him either.

After a pause, she continued: "These guys really have the 'old tradition' of being warlords in the Federation. They want to get more power when they have some strength. Haha. I really thought they were still in the Eastern Wasteland today. Of course, there are also There are some hidden dangers within my Lionheart family that have not been resolved. When my grandfather asked me to take charge of the Lionheart family, some people in the family were still dissatisfied, such as the married families behind my brothers."

Katrina became the head of the Lionheart family not just because of her talent.

Rather, he walked over step by step with **** footprints.

Ji Xun certainly knows.

　　When Catalina said this, she suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in her heart.

 Only when you sit in this position do you know that there are no friends in this position.

With distracting thoughts in her mind, she looked at Ji Xun, and only this friend who had no interest in power could say anything.

Catalina hugged Ji Xun tighter, and suddenly wanted to say something irrelevant, so she said it: "I'm not greedy for this power. In fact, if those people can lead the Alliance Army to a better road, On the way, I will bring a promising future to the Card Master civilization. Even if they want the position of commander-in-chief, I will not hesitate and even help them wholeheartedly. But their structure is still stuck in the old-school aristocracy. In terms of the idea of ​​fighting for power, even if they succeed, it will only be a replica of the decadent old federal government. This is completely different from the 'new federation' we originally wanted."

Her tone was calm and firm, and she added: "Moreover, the current alliance army seems to be in good shape, but in fact it is walking on thin ice. Any mistake in decision-making will lead everyone with high expectations into an endless abyss."

 Her voice became softer and softer at the end, "Actually, every step I took was very difficult."

Ji Xun heard it very clearly.

 When she finished speaking, she responded: "Yeah."

　　Katrina snorted as if she was self-deprecating, and then the melancholy on her face disappeared: "I knew you could understand. That's why I told you."

Ji Xun smiled faintly.

He really has no interest in those powers, so just listen.

However, he turned around and got down to business: "Well, I can handle Lagon's matters myself."

"ah?"

Hearing this, Catalina also showed a surprised look.

You know, that’s the real seventh level!

Ji Xun’s tone was very determined, and he only responded with one word: “Yeah.”

This made Catalina's eyes freeze for a moment when she looked at him.

But then, she thought of Ji Xun's failure to elaborate on his experience in Ji Xun City during the previous chat.

 She originally thought that Ji Xunzhen survived by relying on some special relic.

Now it seems that it may not be a trick.

Katrina suddenly felt a familiar feeling arise. Isn't this the guy she knew who liked to dance on the tip of a knife?

 Thinking about her past experiences, she was not surprised that Ji Xun had this idea.

Katrina restrained her surprise for a moment and asked instead: "Are you sure?"

Ji Xun smiled and shook his head: "I'm not sure, just give it a try."

"hehe."

Katrina smiled as she heard it, it was indeed a familiar feeling.

But she didn’t say much.

 I thought to myself that if Ji Xun couldn't handle it, I would handle it myself.

No one would have thought that a major event that would affect the alliance's military structure could be decided in just a few words in a casual chat.

 At this point, the two of them stopped talking about business.

　　The elevator door opened, and Catalina had already changed into a bright smile that showed a lifestyle, and said, "Come on, let's go have a drink!"

Just when Ji Xun and Catalina took the elevator back to their suite, in front of a one-way window in a room downstairs, an old man and a young man stopped to look at the two people chatting and laughing in the car from a distance.

It was none other than General Lagun and the angry-looking Young Master Mick.

"You mean, that boy didn't agree to spar with you?"

La Gong originally wanted to test Ji Xun's strength to see if he was bluffing, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't agree.

This is for someone in the aristocratic circle. If you refuse this kind of duel, you can basically say that you have lost all face.

 But it just so happens that the other person is not from this circle at all.

As soon as Mick talked about this matter, his heart burned with anger: "Huh, no coward. With Catalina's protection, I don't even have the courage to duel."

 There is no precedent in history for women to hold power.

 In this case, women in power will always have some clowns around them.

 In Mick's opinion, Ji Xun is that kind of person.

　　However, Lagon shook his head after hearing this: "It's not that simple. Either it's as you said, that kid has no strength. Or he doesn't take you seriously at all."

Mick immediately became angry and said, "Uncle, how is this possible?"

After all, I grew up in the military with the reputation of being a genius. I have the best demon marks, exercises, martial arts, and professional cards. How could I be inferior to a civilian?

What's more, the strength of the fifth level is here. The younger generation cannot say that no one can compare with it, but at least it will not be worse than anyone else.

A trace of thought appeared in La Gong's sinister eyes, and he said slowly: "There is information that that boy is a disciple of Gong Wu, so his strength and talent are definitely not bad. And he is still alive after being wanted for so long, absolutely not There are no means. But you are right about one thing. The guy can be so arrogant because he has the confidence of the Lionheart family. "

As he spoke, he paused and pointedly said: "The little lion is the one who deserves attention."

"snort."

Of course Mick knew the information and guessed that the other party was not weak, but he still didn't want to admit it.

At this moment, seeing the two people riding the elevator out of sight, the anger on Mick's face seemed to be about to burn.

From the information he got from the maid before, he knew that the relationship between the two was not simply exploited, but was really very close!

Thinking of this, Mick's eyes instantly filled with murderous intent.

Having been pursuing Catalina for so many years, she saw that she had already negotiated with the elders of the Lionheart family, and it was almost certain that she was his fiancée, but she was snatched away before her eyes?

 This is a humiliation that no man can bear!

Mick gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, let's just forget it?"

 In addition to losing the one he loved, more importantly, this marriage represents the cooperation between the two major power groups of the Alliance Army.

He also couldn't understand why Catalina was so ignorant of the overall situation that she actually agreed to a wanted criminal who had no power to rely on.

Of course, General Lagun could not let his plan fail. He said calmly: "Young people, relying on their own talents, are arrogant. I have seen too many such people. But their endings are all nothing. Suddenly it disappeared."

ˆ “.”

 Kak understood what his uncle meant and felt relieved.

 Marriage in the upper class is never a matter of general love, nor is it decided by one person.

 It is the combination of interests of the two families.

This marriage has been approved by Catalina's mother, Lady Ingrid, and most of the elders of the Lionheart family, and there will absolutely be no change.

 Even after Katerina got married, she still had that "lover".

 The wedding will still be held as planned!

However, thinking of Catalina's increasing power in the Alliance Army, he also had a vague feeling that things might be out of control.

After all, Ragone is a veteran who has lived for most of his life. He understands the weirdness of this situation better than Mick.

People definitely cannot be left behind.

 He will not allow his plans to go awry.

Thinking of this, Lagun said meaningfully: "In the future, little Carter will eventually understand that marrying us is the best choice, and it is also for the future of the Alliance Army."

Mick also understood that his uncle had murderous intentions, and he himself had already had this idea.

But in their position, killing is easy, but you have to weigh the pros and cons.

He hesitated and said: "But what about the Southern Continent? It is said that that boy is the key person to contact the Southern Continent. What if it is true."

Lagon disagreed and said: "It's just a middleman. Any relationship is actually an exchange of interests, and the bigger the power, the more so. What he can give, we can give the same, or even more."

He continued: "As far as the information I have received so far, it is very difficult for the Rebel Dragon Army to survive in the Southern Continent. There is a high probability that they want to move to the Old Continent. So our Alliance Army is their only cooperative ally. What they need is an ally. , rather than a 'middleman'. There may be a little trouble in the short term, but when the time comes and we apologize and give up some benefits, they won't care who is the middleman, Mick, when you marry Catalina. After that, for the core leadership, these things will not be a problem in the future.”

Kak thought of something, and then hesitated: "What if Carter's uncle knows, her methods are not bad. I suspect that she dares to do this, and she may have a plan to deal with it."

Lagun sneered when he heard this: "Haha, we didn't do anything. Without evidence, she still dares to frame me? She really dares to do this, not to mention that our Beibo family's million-strong army is either vegetarian or lion-hearted. The elders in the family will never allow it. The smarter she is, the more she will understand the powerful relationship. "

“What’s more, do you really think that the super-level realm of the seventh level is just mentioned casually? If you really don’t understand current affairs, don’t blame our Beibo family for not talking about the friendship of the past!”

ˆ “.”

As soon as these words came out, Mick's face finally became much better. But when he saw the empty elevator coming down from the upper floor, he suddenly felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart, and he was filled with jealousy.

Countless people watched Catalina take the man to her suite on the top floor. How can outsiders guess this kind of relationship?

You must know that it is the private room of the Allied Commander. Almost no one goes there except the maid.

Ji Xun and Catalina returned to the suite.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, several maids who had been waiting at the door for a long time said respectfully: "Miss, do you want to rest now?"

Katrina waved her hand: "No, I want to have some drinks with Ji Xun. You are not needed here, go and do other things first."

Maids: "Yes, miss."

Since I know that this maid has an insider who has been bribed by an outsider, I am disappointed.

　　I read everything I showed them and simply sent them away.

The two of them entered the room and the door was closed.

Catalina walked straight to the wine cabinet, took out a few bottles of wine, and said, "I promised last time that you should treat me to a drink this time. But it just so happened that Miss Alice sent me a few bottles of precious wine. Please drink."

Ji Xun listened and smiled and said: "Yes. Then I will definitely invite you next time."

 “Okay, let’s make an appointment first.”

As she spoke, Catalina took down two more large goblets from the shelf: "Alice said this wine is a specialty of the Southern Continent and is very precious."

Ji Xun didn't take it seriously at all, and helped open the amber wine with a corkscrew. A wonderful aroma suddenly hit his nostrils.

He also sighed without hesitation: "What kind of wine is this? It smells so good."

I have to say that just from the aroma, I know that this wine is very, very special.

There seemed to be something hidden in Catalina's crystal eyes, and she only introduced: "Alice said it was a secret wine made from an ancient mythology."

Ji Xun was also very interested when he heard this: "Oh?"

 There are many secret wines in this world, which are like potions and have magical nourishing effects.

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glasses and poured a little amber liquid into both glasses.

 “Cheers~”

The crisp sound of clinking glasses sounded in the empty room.

Ji Xun swung the wine glass and sniffed the smell, trying to figure out what it was, but it was too complicated and he didn't ask.

 But the aroma seems to have an intoxicating feeling.

He drank it in one gulp, and a warm current flowed down his throat.

 In an instant, he felt that his whole body was heating up, and the alcoholic energy continued to dissipate.

Just one mouthful gives people a mysterious and light feeling.

 “Eh? What a great wine!”

Ji Xun couldn't help but exclaimed.

 You must know that alcohol is actually a paralyzing toxin. His level 6 toxin resistance is extremely high, and normal alcohol will have almost no effect on his body except for the slight aroma of wine.

But the secret wine actually made me a little heady?

 And when you experience it carefully, the aftertaste is endless, as if the medicinal materials in the wine are still nourishing the body.

  Catalina is not of a higher level than him, and even though she was depressed, her performance became even more obvious.

 The alcohol hit her head instantly, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

 “Hmm! It’s really a good wine. This is the best wine I’ve ever had.”

 She looked at Ji Xun, the blush on her face adding a bit of seductive charm.

 In the past, drinking was a way to socialize, but now drinking is part of life.

Catalina added: "I haven't drunk it before. There are only two bottles in total. I wanted to keep it for you to come with me."

 As she spoke, she poured some more into the two empty glasses.

Ji Xun smiled and raised his glass again: "It's my pleasure."

 I took this sip more carefully and tasted it slowly, only to find that the wine was more powerful than I expected.

Katrina also raised her slender neck and drank it too.

Because it was very close to the opposite side, Ji Xun glanced along the swan-like neck without realizing it, and then looked down all the way to the snow-white depths.

 The low-cut evening dress has just the right amount of sexiness, is charming but not revealing, and is gorgeous but not vulgar.

I don’t know why, but I can’t seem to move my eyes away.

At this moment, Catalina poured the last sip of wine into her mouth, put down the glass, and saw the eyes falling on her chest.

Not only did she not feel rude and hide anything, but she smiled and said jokingly: "Hey, you didn't look at it when you were changing clothes before, but now you are interested?"

Ji Xun chuckled and shook his head as he listened, as if he was used to being teased by Catalina at some point.

　　Neither of them paid much attention to it. This atmosphere made them both feel very relaxed, and they also chatted about some relaxing topics.

 After drinking two more glasses, Ji Xun sat on the high stool.

 The dress Caterina wore was not enough.

This kind of court-style fluffy skirt is fixed with steel rings in order to achieve the ultimate gorgeousness. From the beginning, it was designed so that you can only stand up the whole time.

After standing all night, Catalina had already felt dissatisfied. There was no one else in her room, and she would not make herself uncomfortable again.

Seeing that she couldn't sit down, she put down her wine glass and muttered: "Ah, I'll go change clothes first. Just wait for me."

 Speaking, he walked towards the cloakroom.

 Just like in the afternoon, there was no avoidance of the fact that there was a man in the room, and no intention of closing the cloakroom door.

 She didn't care, and Ji Xun certainly didn't. He was sipping the wine carefully, and he seemed to have gained some taste at this time. He thought to himself: "Why do I feel that the secret medicine in this wine contains dragon-born ingredients?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Catalina's voice came from the cloakroom: "Ji Xun, come and help me."

"oh."

Ji Xun immediately stood up and walked over, "What's wrong?"

I looked over and saw Catalina standing in front of the mirror. She turned around and gestured to the back of her skirt: "Help me pull the zipper. There are several fixed steel rings on the back of this skirt that I can't untie."

 Without a maid, this matter cannot be accomplished by oneself.

Ji Xun glanced at it, walked over naturally, and stopped on Catalina's back. Looking at the smooth and beautiful back, he also asked: "How to do this?"

 Although he has an amazing amount of knowledge, he really doesn’t have much research on women’s clothing.

Catalina saw his dilemma in the mirror and sneered: "Just pull down the zipper and untie the steel ring. Don't just watch, try it yourself!"

Ji Xun chuckled, hiding a hint of embarrassment.

His fingers gently touched the smooth and delicate fabric, and he carefully followed the zipper's path and slowly pulled it.

 As the zipper slowly slid down, the restraints behind Catalina were released little by little. She let out a breath of relief, as if she had relieved herself of the fatigue of the day: "Hey, I finally feel comfortable."

"Ok?"

Ji Xun asked, his voice very clear in the quiet room.

It was almost done, but Catalina didn't want to do it herself, and said: "No. And the steel ring button on the side needs to be removed."

Ji Xun listened to the instructions and immediately unbuttoned a few buttons. This time, the entire skirt fell apart like building blocks.

 Without the fastening, the skirt completely slipped off the body and fell to the ground.

  Catalina's graceful figure was exposed to the air in large areas, and her lower body was still wearing simple yet elegant underwear.

 The upper body is completely exposed to the air.

Ji Xun looked at the back and saw the naked back, which was as shiny as jade. He didn't know if it was because of drinking, but there was an alluring blush in the warmth.

 Under the illumination of the crystal lamp, it is dazzling.

 Because Catalina’s back was turned, the two of them didn’t look at each other.

Ji Xun was also slightly surprised, not knowing that all his clothes were taken off as soon as he took them off. When he raised his eyes, he looked at Catalina's smiling face in the mirror.

 Then their eyes met.

That beautiful face was not shy at all because of her exposed beauty. Instead, she said generously: "Thank you~"

Ji Xunye smiled like a gentleman.

The two of them seemed to be used to this kind of getting along.

Katrina glanced at the closet and said casually: "Hand me that white shirt, thank you."

Ji Xun turned around and took two steps to take off the loose white shirt.

When she turned around, she was watching Catalina take off her leg-of-mutton trousers that matched her skirt, and she was only wearing her underwear.

This time, the graceful curves are almost unobstructed and can be seen before your eyes.

 The light shone on her skin, and her skin glowed as brightly as satin.

 She has a well-shaped figure. Viewed from the back, her buttocks are straight, her legs are slender, and her waistline is extremely graceful.

At the moment when Ji Xun's eyes were full of spring, he suddenly felt that he had a new understanding of Catalina's nickname "White Jade Lion".

The figure in front of you is really like a lion carved from white jade, so beautiful that you can’t take your eyes off it. But it seemed like he couldn't keep his gaze, and it slipped all the way down the delicate skin.

The front of the mirror was just visible, but just this look was caught by Catalina who was bending and raising her head. She was caught peeking again. Ji Xun didn't shy away. On the contrary, we admired her so much. Take a look.

Katrina put the pants she had taken off next to her, stood up, and tilted her head, with a playful smile on her lips.

 The two of them looked at each other in the mirror for a moment.

Katrina finally couldn't help but sneered and said, "I've seen enough, please pass me the clothes."

There was no hint of concern in his tone, only the pride of a lonely rose blooming to outshine the others.

Ji Xun didn't feel the embarrassment of being caught at all, so he walked over and pulled his white shirt down.

Katrina took it, listened to her chest, and asked casually: "How is it?"

 Of course I am asking about your figure.

 This distance is very close and you can see clearly.

The other party didn't hesitate to show off her beauty, and Ji Xun didn't hesitate to praise her: "Yeah! Very good."

 “Thank you for the compliment~”

Katrina sounded very satisfied.

This atmosphere made both of them feel very happy and just right.

While wearing her shirt, she did not forget to complain faintly: "Hey, hey, hey, I still clearly remember your hateful comments in Hong Lou."
