On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

mechanical?

The soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom inside the tent only saw a blur before their eyes, and the next second their comrades' heads flew high into the air, blood gushing out like a fountain.

A figure dressed in a maid's outfit, but whose hands had transformed into sharp blades, their white blades stained crimson with blood, coupled with an expressionless, cold face, resembled a sinister Grim Reaper.

The Dragon Kingdom soldiers inside the tent didn't even offer any resistance, scrambling to run out. But even in their sober state, they were no match for 86, who had a full set of B-grade cybernetic implants, let alone in this "alcoholic" state.

Like a phantom, the 86 transformed into a highly skilled killing machine, reaping the lives of dozens of soldiers in less than a few breaths.

After Yilin and Liao Ji walked in, there were only two living people left in the tent.

Gu Qing, the "Relic Envoy," and the catwoman slave bound to a wooden stake.

"Hey! At least leave me some!" Irene, carrying a scarlet greatsword, expressed her dissatisfaction to the maid who had returned to the young man's side.

“Okay, definitely next time,” said Number 86, who wanted to replace Irene as the master’s first maid.

"I'm not a maid!"

"laugh."

"***!"

how to say

At least it's a bit more lively around me now.

Liao Ji sighed, then shifted his gaze to the person in question.

Don't misunderstand.

The "real person" he was looking at wasn't the "relic envoy" Gu Qing, but the catgirl slave on the wooden stake.

Unfortunately, Liao Ji's behavior seemed to have completely angered Gu Qing. Even Gu Qing didn't know why, but suddenly a surge of anger burned in his heart, amplifying his pride as a "Relic Envoy". He couldn't tolerate Liao Ji's disregard, and he couldn't tolerate those two brats bickering in front of him!

Despite being ambushed and facing a terrifyingly strong enemy, Gu Qing should have fled instead of fighting.

"I'm warning you! Even if my 'relic' isn't combat-oriented, it's more than enough to deal with you ants from the Holy Kingdom!"

Gu Qing shouted at Liao Ji and the other two, and as if in response, the blue light on his chest that had saved his life shone brightly again. When Gu Qing took it out, he saw that it was actually a stone pendant.

"Hmph, you bunch of country bumpkins have probably never even seen a 'relic,' have you? Today I'll show you the price for daring to offend a 'relic envoy'!"

After Gu Qing finished speaking with a wild laugh, he was about to do what he always did: contact the relic in his hand, activate the relic's "teleportation" power, and teleport himself behind Liao Ji to stab the young man who made him particularly unhappy in the back.

however

The stone pendant in his hand was indeed still flashing, and it seemed much stronger than before, but the problem was...

"How could this be? Why aren't you responding to me? Impossible! This is...it's you! You, what did you do to my 'relics'?!"

Gu Qing roared several syllables higher before finally managing to draw Liao Ji's attention away from the catgirl.

Liao Ji glanced at it, then frantically tried to activate the relic, questioning his ancient spirit.

The young man simply couldn't hold back.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've encountered such a classic villain as you. I miss you quite a bit, and I'm a little reluctant to see you go."

"you"

"Fine, use your ability one more time. I'll grant you the permissions."

Liao Ji shook his head helplessly, as if to say, "Alright, alright, stop yelling. I'll satisfy you."

When Gu Qing activated the "relic" again, a look of ecstatic joy appeared on his face, because the stone pendant in his hand actually responded to him!

He sneered inwardly; he wanted to teach that young man the lesson of arrogance.

brush!

A flash of blue light, the relic's power activated, allowing Gu Qing to successfully teleport behind Liao Ji. Although the distance was slightly off, seemingly an extra step, it didn't matter; he could easily bridge that gap. Gu Qing gripped his dagger, ready to pounce and stab the young man in the back.

Huh?

Why can't I put any strength into my legs?

Wait a moment.

Where are my legs?

Gu Qing looked down at his empty lower body, his whole body seemed to have been sliced ​​in two like a cross-section.

Just then, Liao Ji's voice rang out at the perfect moment.

"Oh, I forgot to teleport your lower body over too. Oh well, that's fine."

thump!

Gu Qing, who was in excruciating pain at that moment, stared wide-eyed in resentment at the spot where he had just been standing, where the remaining half of his body, which had not been teleported over, had fallen to the ground along with him.

It seems that after tonight, there will be only forty-one "Relic Envoys" left in the Dragon Kingdom.

With the troublesome supporting character finally dealt with, Liao Ji could finally focus his attention back on the "main character."

All I saw was...

The catgirl slave, bound to the wooden stake, was trembling with fear. She looked at Liao Ji and the other two with frightened eyes, her tail quivering on the ground, and her two fluffy brown ears on her head curled up tightly as if out of fear.

Of the three, Irene was the first to walk over.

"Don't be afraid, we're not those bastards from the Dragon Kingdom. We're from the Holy Kingdom. I'll help you untie yourself right away, and you'll be free soon!"

Perhaps it was the girl's voice that was so captivating, or perhaps it was because she saw that Irene truly meant no harm, but the catgirl slave on the wooden stake spoke weakly, thanking Irene in a hoarse voice.

Thank you, everyone.

However, before the catgirl could finish speaking, the voice of the young man from behind suddenly shattered this beautiful "hero's entrance".

"Wait a moment."

"What are you trying to do?" Liao Ji asked the girl as he walked over.

"Untie me?"

"This is our spoils of war! Why did you untie her? What if she runs away? Are you going to have to stay with me instead?" Liao Ji scolded.

"What? What are you talking about, you old fogey? Wait, you, you wouldn't be thinking of...!"

After Liao Ji knocked off her untied hands, Yilin seemed to understand something at this moment, and stared wide-eyed at the young man.

Liao Ji ignored Yilin, stepped over her, and stood in front of the catgirl, showing no intention of saving her.

after all

He always has a dark and edgy style!

Look at those tiny, triangular cat ears, look at those taut little paws with their paws clenched in tension, and then there's the tail, that fluffy cat tail. That's the soul of the cat!

"Judging from your development, you're probably not even an adult yet, right?"

Liao Ji moved to the side of the catgirl on the wooden stake, leaned down slightly, and whispered in her ear.

The young man's warm breath as he spoke brushed against the cat's fur, sending a shiver down the cat's spine. Her ears began to tremble with fear.

It was genuine fear.

Especially since Liao Ji followed closely behind with a sinister laugh.

"Hehehe! Do you know, your uncle's favorite thing is catgirls."

Chapter 73 Hearthstone Tears

Irene, standing behind, was completely dumbfounded.

This...this is not quite the script she imagined?

Watch Liao Jina's practiced flirting moves and listen to the young man's authentic evil laughter.

Impossible

They're the real villains!?

While it's true that some people may have a particular fetish for girls of different races, people cannot, and at least should not, have such a thing as...

No!

Irene insisted on stopping Liao Ji immediately. At the very least, he should take the catgirl back first, instead of causing trouble right here in their base!

"Idiot. Don't disturb the master." 86 was smarter and directly stopped Irene from passing by.

The very next second brought Irene, who was about to berate the maid, to an abrupt halt.

because

"Enough! Lord Liao Ji!" A familiar voice came from outside the tent.

Immediately afterward, another young man strode in.

The young man was dressed in the high-ranking uniform of the Church's "Crusaders." He was the commander of the Third Vanguard Army of the Crusaders who had been the first to greet Liao Ji and his companions when they arrived at the Wall of Michael, leading them up the wall and providing them with information about the "Relic Messenger."

Klaussi.

"This is quite surprising. I didn't expect it to be you." After Klaus appeared, Liao Ji had long since dropped his "villainous" demeanor. He looked at Klaus, shaking his head in surprise and as if he had no idea.

The young man did not respond to Liao Ji immediately, but walked quickly to the catgirl who was tied to the wooden stake.

"Ah Xu, I'm sorry! I'm late! It's alright, it's all over now. Lord Liao Ji was just joking with you, don't be afraid, it's all right now."

The young man drew his sword, swiftly cut the ropes binding him, and then pulled the catwoman slave into his arms, holding her tightly and stroking her head reassuringly.

As for the catgirl slave in Klaus's arms, she was no longer trembling all over. Her tail was wagging behind her, and her two cat ears on her head were standing up, as if she longed for Klaus to pet her a few more times.

Clearly, these two must have known each other for a long time, and their relationship is very familiar and intimate; they must be lovers.

Liao Ji simply watched quietly throughout, without disturbing them.

It took about five or six seconds for Klaus and the catwoman slave named "Axu" to separate slightly.

It was clear that Ah Xu was still very afraid of Liao Ji, so when Klaus walked up to Liao Ji again, Catwoman hid behind Klaus, tightly clutching the hem of Klaus's clothes, only peeking out her head, looking at Liao Ji fearfully.

"Lord Liao Ji, may I ask when you first discovered it?"

"Perhaps it's because the army's vigilance here is excessively high? And that 'Relic Envoy' made some overly provocative remarks? Oh, right, and also when she was in the enemy's main camp, yelling for help? It all felt a bit deliberate, like she was afraid we wouldn't come."
