my wife is a consul

Chapter 915 Appearance and Essence

The Grand Theater in the Styx Empire's capital is obviously developed differently from the physical and technological world.

The theater is powered by magic crystals, which produce some elves to perform on the stage.

According to Lu Ming's observation, these elves are not life forms with origins, but are illusory creatures created by magic. The conversations and performances between them are set by magicians. They are a special type of magician with little combat power, and their main function is to manipulate the power of magic crystals to entertain the public.

It seems that this is the original world of Prince Styx. Now, he is using great efforts to introduce all of this to fight against the rapidly developing Southern Empire.

Prince of the Styx hasn't shown up for a long time. It should be because the changes to this world have been so aggressive that his daily consumption has increased.

Lu Ming even felt that even if he revealed the source of his life force now, he might not be able to detect it, because he probably no longer had the energy to sense everything in the imperial capital.

Prince of the Styx never contacted me again after the first time, but the first instruction was just a long-term instruction, which was to give me a hint in my subconscious mind, asking me to keep instigating the Dragon King clan and the Southern Empire to go to war.

"Uncle, this world is so scary..." Tongtong, who was sitting on Lu Ming's left in the box, watched the performance on the stage with curiosity, but couldn't help but feel worried when she thought of her own situation.

In fact, she didn't even dare to look at Lu Ming. Although she had gained 70% to 80% trust in this monster who called himself "Uncle Ming" through chatting, she really didn't dare to face "Uncle Ming"'s bloated body.

The little figure sitting on Lu Ming's shoulder reached out his little hand and gently touched Tongtong's head, "Sister, don't be afraid."

Daphne, in a tiny maid outfit, sat on Lu Ming's broad shoulders. Her tiny feet, wearing snow-white lace stockings and light blue bow-lace maid shoes, hung on Lu Ming's arms. In comparison, they were not even as big as one of Lu Ming's black scales. Even though her two feet were on the palm of Lu Ming's giant claws, she still had room to dance.

Daphne was so small that Lu Ming was afraid that if he didn't pay attention and moved his butt while sitting next to her, he would squash her small body, so he simply put her on his shoulders. At first, Daphne was so scared that she cried, and the child even got incontinent and wet her skirt.

But Lu Ming fought poison with poison and simply carried her on his shoulder all the way in the magic crystal carriage on the way to the cinema. Now she still dared not move or touch anything, but she gradually got used to it and knew that her master had no ill intentions.

Daphne glanced at the innocent look of little Daphne, but she didn't dare to pay attention to Lu Ming's huge body. Daphne's small palm was much smaller than her beautiful blue maid hairpin. She was so innocent and cute, and she might be swallowed by the monster at any time, but she was still comforting herself.

Legend has it that in the dragon clan tradition, any other creature can be food. Although this terrifying dragon seems to be the reincarnation of "Uncle Ming", is Uncle Ming who has turned into a monster still the same Uncle Ming?

Listening to him speak, I didn't feel that he was the nerd uncle who used to teach me with a stern face.

At that time, I had my own thoughts, but I liked him very much and always hoped to get his approval, so I worked extra hard to study. After his accidental death, I grew up gradually and became more and more rebellious. I liked to hang out with bad girls, which gave my parents a headache.

  But now this Uncle Ming doesn’t care at all whether he has a tattoo or smokes and drinks?

All we talk about is warning ourselves how to survive safely in this world.

He had long been accustomed to slaves, monsters, and the like.

Only when he talked about things on Earth did he seem to have the shadow of a "human".

"Uncle, I heard that at your funeral, a girl fainted from crying... and then, she disappeared right under everyone's noses..." Tongtong suddenly realized that she didn't know if this topic would stimulate her uncle to turn into a monster.

Just like the dragon clan and the vampires in previous life's movies and TV dramas, they have a truly complete form.

Moreover, the complete form of the dragon man is the terrifying evil dragon in the Western world.

After listening to Tongtong's words, Lu Ming fell silent.

He vaguely knew that Han Annie seemed to have appeared beside him in hundreds of reincarnations. She was the result of the rules that constituted his existence. The specific manifestation of her divine appearance was the jade ruyi held by his original Dharma image.

But because she was not one of the nine original rules that constituted her existence, she was never convinced and developed her own consciousness. She did not listen to the words of her own original body and was always entangled with herself during her reincarnation and enlightenment.

This entanglement, because it comes from oneself, is not bound by any rules of the small world, so wherever he appears, she will appear afterwards.

Of course, I cannot fully understand this now, so I can only understand it using human thinking.

For example, before I appeared in this world, perhaps Han Annie in this world did not exist.

The moment he appeared, the world was reconstructed with Han Annie's historical line added.

Of course, her appearance and disappearance have a negligible impact on this world, otherwise, she cannot circumvent the rules of this world.

The more you understand time and space, the more you will feel that all your previous understandings have been overturned.

Including time travel and reincarnation, which are completely different from what human logic imagines.

No matter what, after hundreds of reincarnations, Han Annie has become more and more in tune with herself.

Perhaps when she achieves enlightenment, she will be able to concentrate on making the jade ruyi in her hand.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming smiled bitterly. In fact, all these love affairs, between men and women, when he attains enlightenment, returning to their essence, everything will become another phenomenon. It is not the kind of desires and emotions understood by mortal thinking at all.

"By the way, do you want to go visit the family that adopted you later?" Lu Ming changed the subject. While he is still an advanced life form similar to humans, he should just be a human being and there is no need to think too much about the future.

My niece has been in this world for more than half a year. She came to this world by traveling through time and space and avoiding obstacles.

Listening to her story, she was naturally filled with fear and helplessness when she first came into this world. Later, she even had the idea that she was the protagonist, but it was quickly shattered by the reality.

The family that took her in was a very gentle tribe of Elks. The entire tribe of Elks were engaged in serving the people of the Styx and produced a large number of slaves.

It was the Elk couple whom she called uncle and aunt who recommended her to apply for the position of hostess at the Empire Hotel. In the eyes of the Elk people, doing this kind of work is a very normal thing.

No matter what, the elk couple who took her in were undoubtedly her benefactors, saving her from a greater misfortune.

As he spoke, Lu Ming tapped Daphne's thin calf on his shoulder with his thick black scaly nails, "And you, go see your parents so they don't worry about you."

The hotel informed her parents of Daphne's whereabouts.

"Can I go home too? Okay, thank you uncle!" Daphne's little face immediately blossomed with a cute smile, and she happily swayed her little light blue bow princess shoes in front of Lu Ming's huge, scaly arms.

……

The snow-white unicorn in the magic crystal carriage is an inanimate object condensed from magic power, but the carriage is very fast and stable.

The family that adopted Tongtong lived in an area where the Elk people gathered. In the imperial capital, it was a typical slum, with messy houses and even a foul smell in the air, because the sewers were even exposed on both sides of the street.

However, the elk people on both sides of the carriage made Lu Ming observe them curiously.

A group of people with extremely fair skin, jewel-like colorful eye lenses, long brown-green hair, and beautiful sika deer antlers on their heads. Both men and women are very handsome.

However, most of the Elk people were dressed in rags and their behavior was very primitive. Some men even unzipped their pants and urinated in the street.

In fact, it is conceivable that although they are a tribe of servants, to the people of the Styx, other tribes are all giants. Even handsome male servants and beautiful female servants have no physiological significance to the people of the Styx. They are mostly just doing hard labor.

Of course, there are also Styx noblewomen who secretly keep Elk lovers, but once they are exposed, their fate will be dire.

Mainly because the male nobles of the Styx in this patriarchal society would quickly suffer a blow to their self-esteem even if they were interested in giant beauties. Therefore, the Elk people were maids, and it was difficult for them to elevate their status by pleasing their masters' physiological needs as traditional maids.

Therefore, the entire tribe of Elk people has no hope of breaking through any class, and most of them are coolies who have never received any education since childhood.

"Give it to them." Lu Ming took out a check with a million liras written on it and handed it to Tongtong, saying, "There is no Tong Taiziyin here, but you can leave our magic card. In case of any problems, they can find you." He added, "You should know the allusion of possessing a treasure and being guilty, so don't give them too much at one time, 10,000 liras each time. You can come here often in the future. Tear off this, which is a cash check for 10,000 liras, but there are only ten of them. After tearing them up, you can go to the bank to exchange the checks for new ones or directly open an account and deposit them into your account, but the torn cash check for 100,000 liras will be deducted."

"Prince Sound" is a long-distance communication system similar to a telephone, but it is definitely a sound transmitted by magic. Like a landline telephone, it is transmitted by wire, through a conductor made of an unknown material.

Each "Prince Sound" has a uniquely marked magic card. To get in touch with each other, you need to have each other's magic card.

There are only ten magic cards in one set of "Prince's Sound", so the magic cards should be reserved for the closest friends. After all, there are only ten people who can be connected in one set of "Prince's Sound".

Because of this limitation, it is very different from the telephone in my previous life which was popular among the general public.

But no matter what, the series of actions taken by the Prince of the Styx obviously made him almost a god in the eyes of the Styx Empire.

Tongtong stared at the check for one million lira in a daze. In terms of purchasing power, this was equivalent to 300,000 or 400,000 yuan in her previous life. However, earning one million lira in this world was extremely difficult, and it was about the same difficulty as a salaried worker in her previous life saving tens of millions in cash.

"I am the future Dragon King of the Dragon Kingdom, have you forgotten?!" Lu Ming smiled slightly, revealing his white fangs, "I have mines at home!" It's rare to use a joke from the previous life, and it's still very relevant. There are countless mines in "my" home.

And most importantly, the audience can understand it.

I felt very emotional. It was the first time that I used a hometown joke and someone understood me without any explanation. I also felt a little more familiar with my niece in front of me.

Unexpectedly, Tongtong shuddered, took the check and got out of the car in a hurry.

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, touched his big mouth, and shook his head helplessly.

At this time, two small hands reached out, holding a small snow-white handkerchief, but it was as if something was stuck on one of her cold fangs. Daphne carefully helped to wipe it off. With her small body and small hands, she held the handkerchief in both hands to help herself grind the rough fangs, which was similar to the elementary school students in the previous life wiping the huge statue.

Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "Aren't you afraid of me?" The fangs slowly retracted.

When you laugh, it seems that the fangs don't have to grow to their full size, there is a technique to it.

Lu Ming felt it silently. The next time he laughed, how to curb the growth of fangs.

"I am my master's food, so I'm not afraid!" The little beautiful girl shook her head. It seemed that she had already prepared herself to become food at any time, so she was naturally not afraid.

Lu Ming nodded slightly, stretched out his giant hand and gently touched the lavender hair on her little head that was braided into a cute princess braid. He originally wanted to touch her head to show encouragement, but found that compared with her little head, the giant hand was like a normal person's palm to a ping-pong ball. He was really afraid that this giant claw covered with black scales would crush her little head if he didn't use enough force. He could only touch the little girl's hair lightly with the long nails on his claws, which were sharper than the alloy of the future world. Even so, Daphne's mouth was obviously flattened, and she almost cried. Obviously, he didn't control the strength well, and the claws were too hard and hurt her.

"Does it hurt?!" Lu Ming asked with some guilt.

Daphne immediately shook her head and said, "I know my master likes me. I'm so happy!"

Sitting on Lu Ming's shoulder, she turned around and looked at Lu Ming's huge face. She gently stretched out her little hand, changed to another brand new snow-white handkerchief, and helped Lu Ming wipe the scales on his face, as if she had to wipe it until it was shiny before she completed the task.

Even though he knew the little girl was working very hard, Lu Ming didn't feel anything at all. Seeing her soon exhausted and out of breath, Lu Ming laughed and said, "Where are all these handkerchiefs? Is my face dirty?"

Daphne immediately shook her head like a rattle. "I, I asked Miss Liz, who had served the master's compatriots, and I know that the master likes to have his scales wiped the most!"

Miss Liz? Lu Ming then remembered that although he had rejected the servants offered by the school (or rather, the Prince of the Styx), there was still someone to clean his dormitory every day when he was away. The housekeeper, headed by several waiters, seemed to be named Liz, and was temporarily seconded from the Empire Hotel.

It seems that the servants he gave himself were not chosen randomly. It turned out that they had received the dragon people and served the dragon people.

Do dragon people like to have their scales wiped? Lu Ming shook his head. He didn't feel that way. It was probably the lower dragon lizard people. They were more sensitive. Moreover, if they were not cleaned frequently, parasites would live in the gaps between the scales.

They will feel particularly comfortable after their scales are cleaned.

His own scales were like thick armor, and he felt nothing even when being hit by the solid bullets of this world.

Insects and ants dare not even get close to him.

"Oh, I don't mind. You don't need to clean the scales often." Seeing Daphne's face froze as if she had been hit hard, Lu Ming smiled and said, "But I like having my teeth cleaned. When my two largest teeth appear, you can help me clean them!"

Daphne's dejected look immediately cheered up and she said happily, "Okay!"

The little servant seemed to have gotten into the role and hoped to find his own value in life as a servant.

There was a gentle knock on the carriage, and Lu Ming stretched out his giant hand to open the door. Tongtong got in and sat next to Lu Ming. "We are going to see your parents. When we reach the turning point, you will guide the carriage!" Lu Ming smiled at Daphne, who nodded her head happily, "Yes, Master!"

"Oh, do you have something to tell me?" Lu Ming turned to look at Tongtong who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Tongtong hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"That money is a lot of money for the Elk People, but they have always followed the principle of equal exchange, which is innate in their blood. So, I, the sponsor, think you are worth how much money, and I want to take you away and have nothing to do with them from now on. If the sponsor thinks you are worth 10,000 lira, they have no reason to refuse. They don't have any concept of investment, and 10,000 lira can only be spent slowly, because they are not allowed to settle in other areas, and it is impossible to change houses. So, this money is to ensure that they can eat meat every day in the future..." Lu Ming paused, "Is there anyone in your uncle and aunt's family who wants to work for me?"

Tongtong smiled bitterly, "Uncle, you have always been a genius. I thought you were too smart and I was too stupid when I was a kid. I still think so now. But you are a little bit right..." She said helplessly, "They are my two benefactors. Because my, well, I have always called them that, my two older sisters and five younger sisters are unemployed. They asked you if you needed servants. They also repeatedly asked me to explain their situations to you and see if you can use one or two of them. It would be even better if you can hire them all."

Lu Ming smiled slightly: "Then just tell me the name of the dish..." This is the value of the elk people. They are not greedy. They will strive for every opportunity to work, and they will not complain if they do not agree.

"My eldest sister's name is..."

Tongtong lowered her head and told the information of the seven sisters in the family like reading a family tree.

The eldest sister Bai is twenty years old and has just been married for a month. The second sister Xiaobai is twenty years old, unmarried, and is a twin with Bai. The third sister Hong is sixteen years old. The fourth sister Xiaohong is sixteen years old and is a twin with Hong. The fifth sister Zi, the sixth sister Xiaozi, and the seventh sister Xiaoxiaozi are all thirteen years old and are triplets.

For the elk tribe, giving birth to multiple children is the norm.

Moreover, every female elk person gives birth to offspring of the same gender.

They are usually named after colors, and the rate of duplicate names is very high. When they gather in the community, they will use their home addresses as their surnames.

Lu Ming looked at Tongtong, who lowered her head and dared not look up at him, and smiled, "They are all very nice to you, right? You have been here for more than half a year, and have been taken in by this family for more than five months. You have been living with them, um... I hired them all, right? As you can see, my dormitory is very big, so it is no problem to hire a dozen servants to clean it."

Tongtong looked up in surprise, staring at Lu Ming's huge and ugly face, and whispered: "Uncle, now I know, it was really you..."

Uncle Ming has always been kind and brave. While he was still in school, he worked in an office outside and gave voice to the disadvantaged.

"Go tell them. I'll arrange a car to pick them up later. The monthly salary is 3,000 liras. The house servants are provided with food and lodging. They can go home for three days off every month, but they have to take turns to rest." He paused and said, "From now on, you will be the head steward of the Long family..." He turned to Daphne and smiled, "You little guy, you are the deputy head steward."

"Butler..." Tongtong murmured. Uncle Ming has really changed too much. It seems that he has become accustomed to being a servant.

Daphne's face was full of joy: "Yes, Master, I will work hard!"

……

Daphne's mansion had long been sold, and Daphne's parents had become house servants, working for an emerging tycoon who ran a chain of bakeries.

Daphne's two brothers have already joined the army, so this is the only way for her to turn her life around.

Of course, this turnaround does not mean that his two brothers can restore the family's glory, but that they can avoid living at the bottom of society for generations to come.

"Daslat" literally means "fragrant and soft" bread store, located in the most prosperous commercial district of the imperial capital. It is a four-story store with various baked pastries sold on four floors. The mouth-watering aroma wafts from it from afar. No wonder Daslat bread is sold in all the big cities in the empire.

Daphne's father, Charles, was working as a greeter on the first floor. He stood by the store door wearing a mascot costume and a big yellow bread-shaped hat on his head, revealing his face.

Apparently the bread tycoon enjoyed having the former nobleman become the mascot of his store.

It was already late at night and the bakery was close to closing time.

The magic crystal carriage, like the cars in Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s, was owned by the rich and powerful families.

The moment he stopped in front of the store, Charles came over and bowed with a smile: "Sir, please come in!"

Then he was stunned. The small figure jumping down from the huge carriage was his little daughter.

Lu Ming watched the father and daughter talking in low voices from the car window.

"Uncle, can I go downstairs and buy some bread?" Tongtong said on the other side.

"What's so delicious about that bread..." Lu Ming said casually, and then realized that this was to avoid interrupting Daphne and her daughter's conversation.

After all, they were customers who came because of Daphne's father, so even if Daphne's father was lazy and talked to the guests, he shouldn't be troubled.

"Well, go ahead!" Lu Ming smiled at Tongtong. He had been a god for so long that it seemed that he was not as considerate of the ways of the world as Tongtong.

But speaking of it, Tongtong, who was just a young girl, came to this world and seemed to have suffered a lot, so she no longer had the thinking mode of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old spiritual little girl on Earth.

Lu Ming then slowly leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest. Daphne's parents are also Aurora's parents.

Thousands of miles away, in the capital of the Snow Lion Empire, is the Chanel Club.

Lu Ming opened his eyes and in front of him was the club president Aurora who had just been summoned, also the fleeing Princess of the Styx and Daphne's biological sister.

She looks very similar to Daphne, but without Daphne's cuteness and childishness. Her charming purple hair is tied into a noble oriental bun, and her deep light blue eyes seem to be filled with tears of pleading. She wears a tailor-made oriental beauty costume, a gorgeous bridal robe, and extremely small silk stockings and embroidered shoes under her bright red silk trousers. This little beauty, a pocket-sized perfect skinny horse, can simply arouse any man's evil desire for conquest.

At this moment, she was no longer as nervous as before, but knelt at Lu Ming's feet with full of anticipation. Her master had not appeared for a long time, and she was very happy to be summoned today.

"Oh, let me show you something." Lu Ming waved his hand slightly.

A small silver-white flying saucer was suspended in the air, and then it shot out a curtain of light, in which the image gradually became clear.

It was Daphne and her daughter who were chatting in a low voice.

“Ah…” Aurora screamed, and her small body began to tremble violently.

"I will take care of your parents. Your sister is also under my protection now, so don't worry. Just follow my instructions and train the cat kid well!"

The freak born from the failed spellcasting by the Prince of the Styx, let's call him Catboy, is the failed product of the Prince of the Styx's spellcasting. That is, it is an irregular thing that was born from the conflict between the Prince of the Styx's origin and the rules of this continent.

I always feel that it will be very useful in dealing with the Prince of the Styx in the future.

"Yes!..." Hearing Lu Ming's words, Aurora's beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she stared at the light curtain.

But at this time, Daphne and her father's conversation had come to an end, and her father turned around and bowed to thank Tongtong who had bought a large bag of bread.

Lu Ming waved his hand and the light curtain disappeared.

“Master, Master…” Aurora called out in a trembling voice.

Lu Ming, who was about to disappear, looked at her in confusion. This little beauty obviously knew that he was about to leave, and it was the first time she dared to interrupt his actions.

Aurora's small body had already knelt forward a few steps, gently hugging Lu Ming's calf. Her pretty face was already red, and she didn't dare to look at Lu Ming. She said in a mosquito-like voice: "Master, if you have no other plans tonight, can you stay here? I, I will help you take a bubble bath in the hot pool..." These words seemed to have mustered up all the courage in her body. At the end, she moaned and her whole body seemed to soften on Lu Ming's calf.

Lu Ming looked at her.

Aurora gradually went from being extremely embarrassed to feeling uneasy, as if she was waiting for the most important decision in her life.

"Sure..." Lu Ming suddenly smiled, "Aurora, my little servant, I hope you can satisfy me."

All of this, in the future, will actually be the appearance of countless rules woven into one's own structure, an appearance that humans can understand.

One's own pleasure, in the very distant future, may be a reaction to some kind of devouring rules, but in the human world, it has become the pleasure between men and women.

It was a completely useless and abandoned rule, but he did not despise it. He only hoped that it could evolve in his tolerance and add more color to his future source world.

Of course, these are my current insights, and I don’t know if they are right or not, let alone the essence of them.

“Oh, really?…” Aurora stammered, hardly believing her ears.

Lu Ming smiled slightly and made a move with his hand. Aurora screamed and her small body fell on his shoulder. She screamed in fear. The small embroidered shoes of the beautiful Western woman swayed in front of Lu Ming's eyes, which made him feel even more excited.

She was much bigger than Daphne, and his body was not as strong as that of the dragon man, so the feeling when she reluctantly sat on his shoulders was very different. The soft, elastic and perky little butt sitting on his shoulders made him feel like a barbarian who had robbed a pretty young wife. Laughing, Lu Ming walked towards the warm pool.

"Daphne also sits on my shoulders like this, but I treat her like my own sister..."

Lu Ming's words made Aurora's eyes well up with tears immediately. Her fear and panic gradually faded away. She turned sideways and gently embraced Lu Ming's neck with her slender arms, but her whole body was trembling with surprise. "My king... my lord... tonight, I will offer you everything I have. My life, my soul, from now on, belong to my lord..." She subconsciously cried softly, her little face right next to Lu Ming's ear.

Obviously, she had sensed something, and after tonight, she would naturally awaken her little divine source.

And now this little beauty is so charming that it is hard to describe.

His whole body was burning with heat. Lu Ming took a big step forward, and the next moment, he was in front of a warm pool filled with billowing white mist...

……

In the carriage, Lu Ming fell into a wonderful state, as if he was in two worlds. In one world, the beautiful little woman Aurora was busy in front of and behind him in the hot spring, kneading, rubbing, pinching and scratching him with her little hands, making his blood boil in the mist and he couldn't control himself.

However, he was also sitting in the extremely stable magic carriage, with Daphne's small body sitting on his shoulders. The little girl was talking to him happily. In particular, there was also his niece Tongtong, who was really his junior, and was sitting quietly beside him on the other side.

There was a sense of shame for doing something bad in front of them, and then there was an incomparably exciting and wonderful feeling...

I didn't even know how I got back to the military academy dormitory.

……

The next day.

In the terrace garden of the apartment dormitory, opposite Lu Ming stood a huge monster, the Howls Dragon Guard from the Dragon Duchy.

"Howers" literally means flying.

The Dragon Duchy has a population of over 10,000, most of whom are lizard dragons without real names. There are several thousand dragon families with real names.

But even if it is a true dragon, its rank is as high as heaven and as low as earth.

For example, the wise dragon is a dragon clan whose throne has only appeared three times in the millions of years of dragon history.

Only five true names are qualified to be called Dragon Kings, and the Wisdom Dragon is one of them.

Flying Dragon is the most common real name. There are thousands of flying dragons in the Dragon Principality today.

It is a lower-rank dragon among the true name dragons.

They are all called "Haors". Outsiders cannot tell the difference between these Haors. Only the dragon people can distinguish them.

The "Halls" in front of you is a courier who came to deliver a letter.

A kind of red stone called dragon crystal. Lu Ming raised his paw and held it. The image and voice of the Holy Fire Dragon King, the lord of the Dragon Kingdom, came into his mind.
