The Glory of Noxus.

"The fable of Kindred?"

Huo Jixing listened to Jia Gu's narration, his tone was full of mysterious charm, and his brows couldn't help but frown.

His eyes swept across the stage again, looking around at the slightly old-fashioned scenery, and the breath of primitive wildness hit him in the face.

At this time, Huo Jixing sensed something was wrong through the strange scenery on the stage.

Wooden masks of different styles are hung on the curtains on both sides of the stage.

The two masks are the same grayish-white in color, about the same size as ordinary windows, and have ancient marks engraved on their foreheads.

The mask hanging on the left has a unique shape and seems to be made based on the image of a sheep spirit.

The sharp edges on the top of the mask look like a pair of goat horns stretching towards the sky, giving people a gentle yet majestic feeling.

The mask hanging on the right is an image of a strange wolf spirit, with exquisite craftsmanship and lifelike appearance.

Its ears hang down on both sides, and its chin is pointed and sharp like fangs, showing its wildness and ferocity.

If you don't pay special attention, it's easy to mistake the two masks for window decorations.

The Eternal Hunting Twins - Kindred!

By comparing the two masks with the images in his past life memories, Huo Jixing confirmed the identities represented by the masks.

It was also while they were talking that the opening performance on stage officially began.

As the lights dim, the actors stop remaining still.

Delphine and Emile danced according to their roles, their movements were smooth and every expression was dramatic.

Then, Delphine put on the mask of the Lamb Spirit, hugged Emile, and locked herself in a state of death.

She held an arrow in her hand, which she seemed to thrust directly into the Emir's side, as if judging the target's guilt.

Emile was wearing a wolf spirit mask, and the sharp wooden spikes scratched his chin, making him groan. His hands tightly grasped Delphine's throat.

The two seem to be arguing!

In front of the two men, Atlos should have played the role of a philosopher who was about to die.

But now for some reason he is wearing a mask and looks like a crow announcing death.

Atlo straightened up and squatted on a green prop tree, with his arms spread out like a crow's wings.

He looked at the wolf-sheep twins, with many dried flowers hanging on their arms, like feathers.

It seemed that Adolf intended to escape death from the argument between the Wolf and the Sheep.

But in the eyes of the outside world, his life had actually stagnated and death had already come.

No one can avoid the wolf-sheep spirit!

The performance on stage continues.

The nobles who stopped to watch were watching with great interest, immersed in the world of "Qian Jue's Fables".

Huo Jixing stood below the stage, watching the wonderful performance in front of him.

He saw more. This performance was not just to entertain everyone, but also to convey a profound meaning.

The meaning of death!

Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly had an illusion in his vision, as if he saw Yang Ling resurrected, staring at the nobles who were watching.

"This is."

His pupils changed, and red-gold flames ignited, intending to find the breath of the sheep spirit.

But everything was in vain.

All he could see were white clouds, and no clouds representing Kindred.

When the play ended, the actors walked to the center of the stage, gathered together, and bowed to the nobles in the audience.

The nobles high above were also generous with their applause, clapping and responding enthusiastically to the actors' respect.

Huo Jixing's eyes flashed, and he left with Annie and Heini amid thunderous applause.

After watching the wonderful stage play together, Jia Gu and Huo Jixing left very consciously.

Because he got the result he wanted.

As the business of the Midalda family grew bigger and bigger, the scale of the Chamber of Commerce expanded beyond Piltover and was based in the Shurima continent, naturally attracting countless covetous eyes.

The imperial warlords behind the scenes found it increasingly difficult to protect the interests of the Midalda family.

Jagu understood that if he wanted to maintain the wealth of the Midarda family, he had to find a better backer.

And from the intimate conversation between Jagu and Huo Jixing just now, as well as watching the stage play together, anyone who is careful can easily see the close relationship between the Midalda family and Huo Jixing.

Such a relationship is enough to make those forces that were originally eyeing the Midalda family give up the idea.

Therefore, the seemingly accidental encounter turned out to be an opportunity that Jagu seized and staged a perfect political show.

After Huo Jixing left the stage, he took some food and returned to his previous position.

How could he not understand Jia Gu's intention.

But the Midalda family did give him a lot of help, and gave him the magic rune items he acquired for free.

Huo Jixing just let Jia Gu perform.

On the way back, Huo Jixing noticed that Katarina had left the party in the middle of some unknown time.

But in the red-gold vision, the cloud belonging to Catalina was still within the audience hall.

He secretly guessed that Catalina might have something urgent to deal with, or she might want to find a quiet place to be alone for a while.

As for accidents, Huo Jixing had never thought about them.

After all, the Audience Chamber is Swain's home turf.

There are many heroes of the empire present at the banquet, so basically no accidents will happen.

In the side hall of the audience hall.

Catalina's face was slightly flushed, as if the alcohol made her a little drunk.

But if you look closely, you can see a dim purple glow in her cold eyes, guiding her to move forward slowly.

Compared to the confident pace in the ballroom before.

Now every step Catalina took forward was slightly stiff, as if she was fighting against an invisible force, trying to regain control of her body.

As the purple light in her eyes grew stronger, Katarina's struggle became more futile.

Finally, she went into the bathroom in the side hall alone and disappeared behind the door.

The moment she disappeared, her eyes, which were once full of confidence and strength, were now filled with confusion and helplessness.

Buzz!Buzz!

The hazy purple light bloomed quietly, and the bathroom seemed to fall into a special area.

Catalina stood in front of the glass mirror in the bathroom with a blank expression, staring at her reflection.

The purple light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, like a dazzling gem, embellishing his wild face.

She tried to control her body, but found that her hands and feet were no longer under her control.

Suddenly!

From the shadow behind the door, a figure whose face could not be seen clearly walked out.

She gazed longingly at Katrinlin's slender figure and walked slowly towards her.

When she approached Catalina, she stopped, stretched out her white arms, and stroked Catalina's beautiful face.

"Your face is not the most beautiful among the many beauties I have seen."

"Why did you attract his attention? Is your technique really good?"

Catalina was keenly aware of the hot breath beside her ears, and her heart trembled as she listened to the enchanting voice.

Then, under the purple light, she saw a familiar face through the glass mirror in front of her.

It is her own face!

In Catalina's horrified eyes, Evelyn laughed softly.

"Don't look at me like that!"

She reached out and touched Katerina, her charming face flushed.

Only by feeling it yourself can you measure the size of your body.

This is also the final detail that Evelyn is working on.

“I started looking forward to it.”

Evelyn slowly withdrew her warm palm, and the purple light in her eyes became more and more strange.

"His performance!"

After saying this, he kissed Catalina's face gently and hugged her body as she was about to fall.

"Don't worry, when you wake up again, you will forget everything now!"

Evelyn stared into Catalina's lifeless eyes and pushed open the innermost door of the bathroom.

She placed Katarina on the ground with light movements and set up a layer of demonic barrier to prevent anyone from accidentally entering.

After doing all this, Evelin left the bathroom with an expectant look.

In fact, she had a better choice, such as getting rid of Katarina directly.

But the devil's sixth sense told him that it was best not to do so as it might cause unexpected changes.

"Wait. My pace is wrong!"

Evelyn paused, lowered her brows and looked at her body, then resumed Catalina's firm steps and returned to the banquet with great confidence.

Banquet corner.

Evelin looked at the familiar figure, walked over silently, and was about to reach out and gently pat his shoulder.

"How do you have time to come here?"

Huo Jixing turned around and looked at Katarina behind him with a smile on his face.

"I see that there are many warlords and nobles waiting at the banquet, wanting to meet you, the newly promoted general."

Evelin kept her expression calm, and walked lightly with lotus steps, her elegant posture seemed to be dancing, and came in front of Huo Jixing.

"They are too boring. I can't stand the hypocrisy. Take a break."

Huo Jixing and Katarina looked at each other and smiled.

"There are food and drinks here. Let's eat together and fill our stomachs." Huo Jixing pointed to the food on the table.

“I don’t eat these foods”

Evelin sat down next to Huo Jixing, not caring about the food on the table at all.

She raised her eyes and gazed at Huo Jixing, gently licking her shiny and attractive lips.

This action is both a silent temptation and reveals her inner desire.

With her long crimson hair that fell like a waterfall, it added a bit of mystery and charm to Evelin at the moment.

Huo Jixing looked at Katarina, somewhat puzzled by her initiative.

Normally, Katarina always maintains the image of an ominous blade when outside and would not be so proactive.

Only when they are alone together will Katarina occasionally show her toughness and initiative.

Huo Jixing glanced at Annie and Heini who were obsessed with food, and did not reject Katarina's initiative.

But just after the hug, Evelin hugged Huo Jixing's body tightly, staring at the handsome face with her charming eyes.

She raised her neck slightly, kissed him gently with her purple lips, and rubbed her curvy body against the body she had been longing for.

"Ok?"

Huo Jixing immediately realized something was wrong and reached out to press Katarina's lips.

"You're not Katerina!"

Evelin still wanted to struggle, but when she met Huo Jixing’s red-gold eyes, she gently bit the finger in front of her lips.

"Isn't she so proactive?"

"I remember that all women behaved about the same way in this respect."

"who are you?"

Huo Jixing did not answer. He frowned and looked at Katarina in front of him. A cold murderous intent filled his pupils, and a hint of red-gold flames was faintly visible.

"Don't you remember me so quickly?"

Evelyn sighed softly, and purple light covered her body, returning to her original appearance.

The long white hair covered the towering hills like silver threads, gleaming a cold luster under the glass light.

The pursed purple lips and sad eyes reveal endless temptation.

"Embrace of Pain, Evelynn!"

Huo Jixing paused, somewhat unable to believe that the legendary demon would be the one wrapping his body around him.

"Tsk, tsk, so you still remember me!"

Evelin’s hazy and sexy voice rang in her ears, like a cat’s claws gently scratching her heartstrings.

"Do you think I performed better just now?"

"Where's Katerina?"

Huo Jixing held Evelin’s neck tightly with one hand and asked in a cold voice.

He really didn't expect that a powerful demon would sneak into the celebration party and transform into the appearance of Katarina.

"You haven't answered my question yet!"

There was no expression of pain on Evelin’s face, but instead an indescribable excitement.

She just looked at Huo Jixing, with a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"Where's Katerina?"

Huo Jixing spoke again, and the fire of Nanli appeared on his fingers, burning the demonic power on the surface of Evelin's skin.

An atmosphere of silence permeated the corner.

Evelin raised her eyes to look into Huo Jixing’s cold eyes and said in a deep voice.

"How enviable!"

The person she was referring to was Katharina.

Evelyn then told Huo Jixing where Katarina was currently.

After Huo Jixing heard this, he immediately pushed Evelin away and prepared to go to the side hall.

"etc.!"

Evelyn's body was like a snake, wrapping around Huo Jixing's body, and her purple lips moved closer, looking expectant.

"Kiss me, and I'll give you some information related to the Noxian Empire."

Evelynn often inflicts unspeakable torture, taking satisfaction from her prey's pain.

But now, she was somewhat looking forward to the pleasure and excitement of promiscuous love.

Especially when the person in front of you has brought you pain deep into your bones.

However, what awaited Evelin was a ruthless push away.

"Someone is coveting the power of death!"

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Evelin's smiling face, and forcibly peeled off her entangled body.

"Haha, I won't give up."

Evelyn stopped struggling, stared at Huo Jixing, and disappeared into the shadows.

The reason why she told the Pale Lady's plan was because in her heart, she didn't think the Pale Lady would succeed.

The wolf-sheep spirits that symbolize death have already used their absolute strength to kill all those who covet it.

"Uncle Huo Jixing, what's wrong with you?"

Annie's sweet and innocent voice sounded, breaking Huo Jixing's contemplation.

Huo Jixing shook his head slightly, temporarily withdrawing his thoughts from the stage performance of "Qian Jue's Fables".

He noticed the puzzled looks from Annie and Heini and asked softly.

"Just now. Did you notice that there was someone next to me?"

"Ah, you were the only one there just now." Annie blinked her lovely eyes and answered in confusion.

Huo Jixing smiled slightly, pinched Annie's face, looked down at the snow-white Poro, his golden eyes retaining a hint of purple light.

It is a trace of Evelyn's demonic power.

With the help of the power of destiny, the snow-white Poro was able to gain insight into Evelynn's existence.

Huo Jixing whispered, asking Annie to wait here for him to come back.

Seeing Annie nod, Huo Jixing quickly stood up and went to the bathroom in the side hall.

If there was a trap, it might be a little inconvenient for him to take Annie and Heini there.
