"That old guy doesn't care about my feelings at all, and he doesn't even mind that I hate him. He only cares about my improved strength... In other words, what he does has nothing to do with the national interest. I am not close to that old guy. So, what good will it do him to help me become stronger and help me gain immortality?"

He looked down at his chest, and suddenly he clenched his fist and hammered at his chest.

boom--!

In addition to the normal pounding sound in the chest, there was a faint humming, like a blunt instrument hitting metal.

"The body has indeed become much stronger."

he murmured in a low voice.

"Suppose I really got the immortal body, what good will he have? It's not that he got the immortal body..."

When Ivan thought of this, his expression suddenly froze, his pupils dilated instantly, and his whole body seemed to have been passed by an electric current, showing a ferocious expression.

……

After drying himself off and walking out of the bathroom, Ivan returned to the bedroom, opened the door and saw a strange woman sitting on the couch, slowly drinking a cup of hot water.Her figure is uneven, and she specially wore a black-brown corset underwear. Her slightly curly blond hair draped over her shoulders, which further accentuated her fair and delicate complexion.

"who are you?"

he asked standing in front of the door.

"I'm Serena, the priest ordered me to take care of your daily life." The woman immediately stood up when she heard this, lowered her head respectfully, made the most docile gesture, and squeezed her plump breasts to make them more plump.

"roll."

Ivan didn't talk nonsense to her, walked to the tea table, picked up a cup of slightly hot drink, put it to his nose and smelled it, and suddenly a mint-like fresh aroma came to his face, mixed with the faint sweetness of cream.

"..."

He put down the cup and swiped it with his backhand, sweeping it down together with the cup and teapot.

Bang-dang-!

The teapot and cups fell to the ground at the same time, and Serena's body visibly trembled when they fell to pieces.

"I like clear water."

Yiwen turned around and looked at her again, with a gloomy expression as if raindrops could fall, and his eyes swept towards the door, expressing again that he did not welcome her.

"..."

She didn't speak, but bowed her head and hurriedly left the room.

boom--!

When Serena left the room, because she was too panicked, her body seemed to bump into someone, and that person let out a coquettish 'Ouch', and then reprimanded angrily:

"Didn't you see me?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" She apologized quickly.

"Forget it."

The owner of the voice didn't seem to care too much about such trivial matters, and let Serena leave directly.

"Charlie!?"

When Ivan heard the voice, he suddenly became refreshed.

"Look what I brought you?"

Holding a copper teapot, the girl priest rushed in hurriedly, was stunned for a moment when she saw the broken tea set on the ground, then picked up the kettle and trot to his side.

"what is this?"

He took the teapot, lifted the lid and took a sip, smelling a mint-like fragrance.

"Try it and I'll tell you!"

Xia Li played it off on purpose, and looked at him expectantly.

"Then I'll try."

Ivan took a sip lightly, feeling that he was drinking mint water, which was very to his taste, so he took another big sip.The coolness of mint and the aroma of plants are mixed together, sliding down the throat into the stomach in the heart, feeling refreshed all over the body, and the aftertaste of fragrance lingers between the mouth and mouth.

"tasty?"

"Delicious!"

He nodded hastily.

"I knew it!"

Xia Li brushed her thick eyelashes, and her eyes glowed with excitement. She snatched the teapot back from Ivan's hand, raised it to the top of her head on purpose, and looked at him slyly:

"If you still want to drink, just promise me one request."

She is still young now, not tall, but she is slender, so she looks tall and slender. She has a slightly green and childish face. In the dimly lit room, the outline looks unexpectedly soft.

"You said."

"Tell me about the outside world!"

"No problem." Ivan agreed.

"That's good! But you are not allowed to drink from mouth to mouth. I will find you a cup."

The girl priest put down the copper teapot, turned around and walked to the closet where the tea sets were placed, stood on tiptoe, and took the largest ceramic water cup.

"..."

The moment Xia Li turned his back to him, a gloomy look flashed across Ivan's face, and after she turned around with the water glass in his hands, his face returned to a relaxed look.

Chapter 12 Banquet

"To the west of our royal capital, there is a peninsula facing the sea on both sides. Most of the land is sand dunes. The climate is dry and water-scarce. The residents have lived on grazing and doing business for generations. There is an oasis near the sea in the north of the peninsula. Jujube forests, melons and fruits are sweet, rich in castor oil, and it is also a very important transportation hub. Further west, through the wind and sand, you can reach a fertile land flowing with milk and honey-Kanahan, we are in this land We have a city, the ancient city of Thutmose. King Ramses set up a state capital in the ancient city and ruled the local kings. Through them, we can get a lot of offerings every year."

Ivan put his arms behind his head, lying on the bed, looking at the pattern of the chandelier on the ceiling, and slowly talking about the geography knowledge he knew.

"What is an offering?"

"You can understand it as forcing others to give you something."

"Is it so powerful..."

The short brown-haired girl priest lay beside Ivan, holding a tuft of upturned hair on her head with one hand, brushed her thick eyelashes, and her almost translucent, amber-colored eyes flickered:
