Demon's Self-cultivation

Although the poor author Kang Ning has been staying in the "little black room" and writing with peace of mind according to the requirements of the star thieves, unfortunately, until the Black Vulture arrived at their destination, Kang Ning still did not arrive. That chance to disembark.

——After all, the whereabouts of the star thieves have always been secretive. Unless necessary, they seldom show up in front of people, approaching those star fields that are under the jurisdiction of the national government, let alone stop at planets where regular troops are stationed and patrolling.

Kang Ning accepted the fact that he was still stuck in the Star Thief Group.Having gone through many hardships and obstacles in the world of comprehension, Kang Ning has strong endurance and adaptability, and knows exactly what to do to make her life better.

Thanks to Kang Ning's good-tempered cooperation, the star thieves' attitude towards him became more and more gentle, occasionally allowing him to leave the room and walk around to relax.And whenever it's time to let the wind go, Kang Ning always chooses to look for Qiao Qiao.

After reminiscing about the old days and learning about the recent situation of "father", Qiao Qiao's interest in Corning declined rapidly, and he continued to devote most of his energy to his research laboratory.But on the contrary, Corning's curiosity and desire to explore about Qiao Qiao are increasing day by day.

Just as Qiao Qiao was "conceived" by Kang Ning and has a natural intimacy with him, Kang Ning also has an inexplicable familiarity with Qiao Qiao—even though Kang Ning knows nothing about Qiao Qiao, Qiao Qiao is also in his knowledge. For nearly a hundred years.

Moreover, with extremely similar mental fluctuations and a clear understanding of his past, Qiao Qiao's posture is too mysterious. Even Kang Ning, who thinks he is calm, cannot help being curious about him.

——What's more, Qiao Qiao is still so beautiful.

The beautiful and mysterious existence will always touch people's hearts.

Qiao Qiao is not enthusiastic about "father"'s initiative to approach, but he is not indifferent either.Whenever the other party tempted him in a roundabout way, he would always dig a hole with a smile on his face, let his "father" fall into deeper confusion and doubt, and then watch the other party circle around him in bewilderment.

And Kang Ning was able to stay on the Black Vulture peacefully, and he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of leaving in a hurry, probably because of Jojo.

The star thieves of the Black Vulture Star Thief Group have long been accustomed to Qiao Qiao's way of playing with people's hearts. Only Asester found him in private and asked him what he thought about this Kang Ning.

"It's just boring, let's pass the time." Qiaoqiao tilted his head in doubt, not quite understanding the meaning of Aseste's question.

"Is it really just to pass the time?" Asester raised his eyebrows, "You are much more patient with him than with other suitors. I thought you were interested in him."

"Are you kidding me?" Jojo's mouth twitched, "I'm patient with him only because we have some history."

"That's good." Asester didn't bother to inquire about that "origin", he put on a serious attitude of a patriarch, and said earnestly, "I have no objection to your falling in love, but this Corning is not suitable for you. "

"Then who is suitable for me?" Qiao Qiao asked casually, a figure quickly flashed in his mind, and then disappeared in an instant.

"Suitable for you?" Asest snorted in disgust, "No one is suitable for you! Whether it's falling in love with you or being liked by you, it's bad luck for eight lifetimes!"

The little devil who can't refute at all: "........."

In short, after a group of people were sent out to bring the "Fat Sheep" back to the base camp and be detained for "trafficking", the Black Vulture traveled smoothly and came to the planet agreed with the mission employer.

This planet is located on the border of the De Byron Republic, which is also part of the United States, but the political situation has always been chaotic, and the leaders of the country change very quickly, almost like anarchy.Due to political struggles, most of Byron's regular army was transferred to the civil war, so this country became a paradise for criminals such as star thieves.All kinds of dark forces gathered here, but unexpectedly turned this border planet that should have been barren into prosperous and colorful.

The huge pitch-black ship of the black vulture slowly descended from the sky above the star port. The star thieves inspected the situation inside the ship and made preparations for docking.

It’s rare to dock on a relatively prosperous planet. Most star thieves are ready to leave the ship and go on the waves. After all, navigating in the universe is too boring, and the star thieves really need to vent and entertain—well, each In a sense of venting and entertainment.

"Although the security of this planet is not very good, there is also a station for the interstellar express train, and you can take the train back here." Shaman stroked her long red hair and said to Kang Ning casually.

—— Today's Shaman dressed herself up very beautifully. Obviously, she also planned to go to the bar to find a good man after finishing the deal with her employer, and have a hot affair.

"...Okay, I see, thank you." Knowing that he could leave, Kang Ning politely thanked him, but he didn't have any happy expression.He stood at the cabin door quietly waiting for the time to disembark, turning his head from time to time, looking deep into the corridor.

Seeing his reluctance, Shaman snorted lightly: "Why, don't you want to part with our little baby?"

"...A little bit." Kang Ning smiled frankly.

"Don't think about it, you can't control him, let alone be worthy of him!" Shaman said bluntly.

Kang Ning was stunned for a moment, his face flushed suddenly, he took a step back subconsciously, and waved his hands again and again: "No, you misunderstood me, I don't have that kind of meaning to Qiao Qiao." He coughed lightly in embarrassment , "I like...girls, I'm just a little curious about Jojo..."

"Really?" Shaman smiled meaningfully, "But I've heard a saying that curiosity leads to love."

Kang Ning was at a loss for being ridiculed by Shaman. Although he had been in a relationship, he had been an otaku for too long. He was very difficult to deal with women—let alone an aggressive woman like Shaman.

Fortunately, they didn't wait long at the cabin door, and soon saw Asest striding towards them, and Jojo followed behind him in a leisurely manner.

"All ready?" Asester responded to the star robbers' greetings, looked around, saw everyone nodding, then raised his hand and waved, "Open the hatch!"

With an order, the thick hatch of the black vulture gradually opened, revealing the dazzling lights outside the ship under the night.

The star thieves all showed excited eyes, but soon, they restrained their smiles and became serious and vigilant.

"... Such a big battle? The employer is really enthusiastic this time." Asester raised his eyebrows, looking at the well-equipped soldiers who surrounded the ship with a half-smile, his eyes flashed fiercely.

"Please don't get me wrong." A young man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked out of the army, and bowed to Asester with a smile, "Due to the special status of my master, we must not Not fully prepared—it’s not aimed at your Star Thief Group.”

"Oh, is that so?" Asester snorted, and stood condescendingly at the port of the gangway and stared at the "greeters" below the ship. This kind of dangerous place? Just find someone to hand over to us?"

"That can't be done." The young man wearing glasses smiled very cordially—everyone knew that this smile had no sincerity, but looking at this smiling face, everyone still felt that it was quite pleasing to the eye, and it was considered a kind of unique blessing. "Our master attaches great importance to this transaction. If you don't come here in person, you can't rest assured anyway. Please forgive me." One sentence, "As long as the thing is real, it's just a three-year mining right, and our master doesn't care about it."

With dark eyes, Asest shook the box containing the necklace in his hand. He turned his head and told his deputy to stay on board the ship to be on standby at any time, while he got off the ship with a small amount of star robbers, and greeted the fully armed "Welcome" The "people" walked over.

As an all-around talent with multiple functions for one person, Qiao Qiao naturally followed behind Aseste, got into the very pretentious extended suspension vehicle parked not far away, and the team that originally surrounded the ship was also tight. After that, they quickly retreated and boarded the armored vehicle, leaving only two or three kittens, quietly monitoring the movement of the Black Vulture.

Soon, the mighty convoy left Starport.Qiao Qiao sat on the comfortable seat of the suspension vehicle, watched the Black Vulture gradually move away from his field of vision, and then looked around at the armored vehicle that "protected" the suspension vehicle in the center, frowning slightly.

"...Is it okay? I always feel that something is not normal." He turned his head and looked at Asester beside him.

"It's really abnormal. It seems that our employer this time is very powerful." Asester played with the box in his hand, narrowing his eyes slightly, "The weapons in the hands of those soldiers and the protective armor on their bodies, you Can you identify the model number?"

Qiao Qiao nodded, and quickly reported these models: "These equipment are the latest models currently in use by various countries. To arm such a team, the cost is really not small - not only not small." He blinked Eyes, "It's really amazing that private individuals can get these things."

"What if it's not private?" Asester pondered in a low voice.

"It's not a private person... Do you mean that the employer this time is a certain country's government?" Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and shook her head again, "In terms of weapon configuration, I can't tell which country's army it is. Every country uses Technology tends to be independently researched and developed, not to mention the most cutting-edge equipment, which is as strict as it can be. And this team... the weapons and equipment are mixed with multinational characteristics, and the protective armor comes from the Huaxia Alliance. , the guns come from the American Empire, and the armored vehicles are the standard of Odi..."

Asester is not good at such things as weapon models - after all, he only needs to know how to use them.After listening to Qiao Qiao's analysis, he couldn't be sure what the identity of the employer was, so he could only stay the same and respond to all changes: "As long as the other party doesn't have any malicious intentions towards the Star Thief Group, it's fine if he wants to pretend to be coercive, then let him pretend." ! Judging from his behavior of withdrawing troops with us, he should care about other things than the Star Thief Group." Looking down at the box in his hand, Aseste was rarely curious, "Is this necklace really Is it so important? We are surrounded by water, and you are so worried that I will return halfway and refuse to make a deal?"

Qiao Qiao glanced at the box and remained silent.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always felt that the young man who was in charge of receiving them and called himself "Daniel" observed him several times without any trace when he got off the ship and boarded the suspension vehicle. Can feel curiosity, scrutiny, and some subtle...respect from him?

Although Daniel hid this very well, but as the person concerned, the already keen little devil still clearly caught the other party's gaze cast on him from time to time.

——So, is the other party's target the necklace, or... him?

Regarding his guess, Qiao Qiao did not explain it to Aseste. Instead, he was quite eager to try, looking forward to meeting this guy who made such a big move and spent so much effort to "trick" himself here—if he No pretentious words.

In the anticipation of Xiaomo, the team soon stopped in front of a white manor.The star thieves got out of the car and continued to enter the manor under the "surroundings" of the "greeters", and were led by Daniel to the reception hall.

"Master is currently waiting in the study, and I hope Mr. Asester can accompany me alone." Daniel smiled, "As for the rest of the guests, please wait here for a while."

Asester nodded sharply, grabbed the box and followed Daniel.He is bold and skilled, and he is not worried about being ambushed, but just tells the rest of the star thieves to wait quietly and not to act casually.

Asester and Daniel left the living room, and the star thieves who were left behind were not very worried about the safety of their boss—this is why some star thieves objected to Jojo's succession as the leader. After all, as the leader of the star thieves, In fact, the need to "single-handedly attend the meeting" is indispensable.

Sitting on the soft sofa, the star thieves were bored. One of the star thieves picked up the exquisite snacks on the table and raised his chin at Qiao Qiao: "Qiao Qiao, is the food here okay? Can we eat it?" Is it?"

Hearing the inquiry, Qiao Qiao temporarily turned his attention away from the identity purpose of the employer, and turned to look at the refreshments on the table.

Qiao Qiao is very skilled in the matter of "testing poison".He picked up the snack and smelled it, took a small bite, poured another cup of tea, and took a sip.Putting down the snacks and teacups, Qiao Qiao sniffled, inspected the room carefully, and confirmed that he found nothing suspicious or smelled anything noteworthy, then nodded: "I think it's okay, but insurance For the sake of safety, just try something new, don’t eat too much.”

With Qiao Qiao's permission, the Star Thieves immediately relaxed, and unceremoniously stretched out their "poisonous hands" to the food on the table—after all, these pastries and tea are really delicious, and they are delicate and small, and the amount is not large. We share a share with each other, which is only enough to fit between the teeth, and it is impossible to "eat too much".

Just when the Star Thieves were in a storm, the door of the living room was pushed open again, Daniel walked in, and raised his eyebrows seeing the Star Thieves eating indifferently.

"What? Boss finished talking with your master?" A star thief asked vaguely while chewing on a snack.

"Not yet." Daniel shook his head, "Mr. Asest and my master had a dispute over a little issue. Mr. Asester asked me to bring Mr. Jojo up there, hoping that he could provide some advice."

The star thieves were not surprised by Asest's request.After all, Jojo has a wide range of knowledge, good eloquence, and keen intuition. Aseste often takes him to some important negotiations. First, he can train Jojo. Second, Jojo can often win for them. greater good.

The star thieves didn't take it seriously, and smiled and asked Qiao Qiao to go early and return early. They were still rushing to complete the deal and go out, while Qiao Qiao stood up calmly and walked towards Daniel at the door.

"Please." Daniel smiled and made an invitation gesture to Jojo. Jojo paused beside him, his black eyes flickered, and he showed a faint smile.

——The star thieves didn't care about this "Daniel", but Jojo keenly discovered that this "Daniel" was not that "Daniel".

Although the two people look exactly the same and try to imitate each other, there are still some subtle differences.

—So... are these identical twins?

Without breaking through the disguise of "Daniel" in front of the star thieves, Jojo followed him into the elevator and watched "Daniel" press the button on the top floor.

In the quiet elevator, "Daniel" smiled slightly, as if he was secretly proud of his "successful" disguise.Xiaoxiaomo raised his eyebrows, and pierced his good mood maliciously: "Are you an older brother or a younger brother?"

"Daniel" froze for a moment, then quickly recovered: "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, just a random question." Qiao Qiao smiled friendly, "It's the first time I've seen such similar twins, and I'm a little curious. Your personality is more lively, is it your younger brother?"

“Daniel” who was skinned in less than 3 minutes: “………………………”
