dark color

Catwoman's eyes widened in an instant, and she even showed a murderous look unconsciously.For her, this voice is naturally very familiar, after all, it is this person who once killed her.

In front of the king, one must restrain himself, although he tried his best to say this to himself, but the moment he saw the boy, the memory of death became extremely vivid again, and even the regret at that time was as clear as yesterday.

Unable to restrain himself from turning around, Peter's eyes were turning into animal pupils...but the cold fingers resting on his face easily calmed everything down.That's the king.Catwoman closed her eyes and rubbed her palm with infinite attachment. As long as there is a king, she will have nothing to fear.

Meluem let out a soft laugh, like a feather flicking over her heart, indulgent and gentle.But the eyes he turned to the boy were so cold that there was no warmth.Looking playfully at this excited human boy, looking at his scarred but still energetic face, Ant said kingly, "Peter is my subordinate, why can't I allow it?"

The boy opened his eyes wide and looked at him, "But...but that's meaningless, do you want to watch your companion die?"

"companion?"

Repeating this word, Meluem suddenly covered one side of his face and laughed. Seeing Catwoman's restrained anger, he lowered his hand and said coldly, "I've never had that kind of thing before."

"..."

As if shocked by such eyes, or maybe it was the instinct of wild animals, Xiaojie was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly took a step back.

Not in the mood to argue with this brat anymore, Meluem said impatiently, "I heard that you want to find me, what's the matter?"

The child's expression suddenly calmed down, he closed his black eyes, and he said seriously, "I want to beat you."

A heavy mental pressure suddenly enveloped the whole room, Xiaojie grunted, but stubbornly refused to retreat.But the person exuding this momentum is not the king.

"All right, Pete."

He patted Catwoman on the head soothingly, blocking her sharp and hateful gaze, "It's not good to be so impulsive all the time."

"But Wang, that brat dares to say that!"

Repressing her thoughts angrily, Catwoman's cold eyes still stayed on the boy.

With a shallow arc, Meluem turned his head lightly, "Let me guess, is there any reason why it took so long to bring up this matter?"

Xiaojie was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and said sullenly, "Qi Ya has a fever... that day, he was seriously injured to protect us, and he hasn't recovered until now. Even Yiermi can't do anything about it. He'll die if he goes down. I never want to... see anyone who wants to protect leave in front of me."

"So you came to see me, didn't you?"

Meruam smiled, "You think that as long as you defeat me, you can escape with Qi Ya, and then try to cure him, right?"

"right,"

Under Catwoman's cold eyes, Xiaojie raised his head without hesitation, and said simply, "So I must beat you!"

The Ant King didn't get angry, he just looked at the boy with a firm look on his face and said, "You couldn't resist me in that state, so what can you do now? You said you can't watch your companion die, but you What is the difference between acting now and dying? Because you are not the one who bears the guilt, can you squander your life with peace of mind?"

His smile became more and more sarcastic, and he pressed forward step by step, "Think about your mood when Kate died, do you want that brat to become a second you? Or are you just so naive that you don't notice it? "

Following his words, the boy's face became paler.He lowered his head and whispered, "How could I not notice..."

But he still clenched his fists, and his standing posture did not change at all, "But Qi Ya is about to die! There is no other way except to hit you! I..."

I just don't want to see anyone who wants to protect die again.

"But you can't."

Interrupting him coldly, Meluem said coldly, "You have no way to defeat me, everything is in vain."

"This kind of thing... how will you know if you don't try!"

Raising his head suddenly, Xiaojie raised his fist.

In the scattered blood, the boy knelt on the ground, so weak that he couldn't move at all. "hateful……"

The half-dried blood blocked the line of sight, and the world was blood-red.He unwillingly turned his head to look at the man who hadn't moved a bit from the beginning, struggling to stand up.Peter shook off the blood on his hands, and sneered contemptuously, "It's actually weaker than that time. Does this guy want to offend the king? You brat who can only talk big."

"look,"

Standing up from his seat, Meluam walked in front of the child, then bent down, "Not everything will go your way, and good luck won't stay with you for the rest of your life... Don't give up, admit defeat, don't give up. Surrender, and then you will win, and such things will always end one day. Without power, you are nothing, so you who were defeated by Pete can't save Kiya, you, there is nothing you can do."

The corners of his lips curled up viciously, and Meluem watched the child's clear eyes turn gray little by little, "Qi Ya..."

"What a naive child."

Meluem smiled faintly, and lifted the boy's body up into the air, "People become strong when they have something they want to protect. You have always believed in this, right? But the person who said this did not I didn't notice one thing, that is, this kind of power is also limited. When you killed my subordinates, you should know that there will be no second time of that kind of power. So there will be no second time for your current behavior except to annoy me. Two outcomes... are you awake?"

"No...it's not like that..."

"Tsk, what a stubborn guy."

The wall was shattered, and Meluem said to the human lying in the ruins, "How can I make you understand your own powerlessness, isn't the current situation enough to prove it?"

He rubbed the center of his brows, and there was no emotion in his cold black eyes, "Give up quickly, I don't have the patience for this kind of meaningless persuasion."

He looked into his eyes, the blood-red Sharingan slowly turned, and the deep voice began to have a strange magic power at some point, in the bewilderment, Xiaojie felt that something was leaving him.

"If you want me to release Qi Ya and the others, just help me retrieve something from... your father."

"……it is good."

The boy still seemed to be struggling, but was quickly failing.

"Good boy."

Meluem slowly curled her lips into a smile.

#################################### "Let them go so easily, king?"

Pufu frowned worriedly, but still carried out the order meticulously.

"Have you reached such an agreement with the Hakkas, haven't you?"

Answering this lightly, Meluem turned and left, "I am very satisfied with the terms of providing all the information I have for free and maintaining neutrality in the ensuing war, beating the enemy Hakka."

"But……"

That black-haired kid was an unstable factor after all, what was the force that defeated Peter?

"do not worry,"

The breath that was close at hand woke him up, and Wang Lengjun's face was right in front of his eyes, "There is still value in using that brat."

"...Yes, yes, king."

Pufu was flustered in a rare way, and a blush came to his cheeks.

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing, the subordinate will leave."

Taking a few steps back quickly, and then closing the door, Pufu relaxed after holding his breath.

"Huh... the current king seems to be different."

There was a strange charm in that face that was so close together, which almost made him boil.Frowning in confusion and worry, Pufu took a breath and glanced at the door behind him.Inside this door is the king he swore to dedicate all his loyalty to... Pufu thought, smiling unconsciously.There is nothing to be suspicious about, because being hopelessly infatuated with the king is something that the guards have long been accustomed to.

Inside the gate, Meluem listened to the sound of footsteps gradually going away outside the gate, and covered half of his face helplessly, "It's really bad... I have no plans to take action against my subordinates. How long is this growth period?" ..."

His tone became cold, his black eyes were bottomless, "Well, forget it, there is not much time left anyway."

###################################### "So you're not going to take me?"

Kyuubi lay on a cushion and asked lazily.

"what,"

Meruem took off her robe, and changed into a piece of everyday clothing that was easy to move about.Without the tail behind him, he looks more like a handsome and dangerous human than an ant. "Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water."

The tail disappeared from view as if it had become transparent.

"Tsk, this technique that was used on me has finally been used on yourself."

Kyuubi sneered, "How does it feel to have a long tail?"

Ignoring such teasing, Meluem turned around and said with a gentle expression, "Don't ask me why?"

"That kind of thing, you can guess it,"

Turning his eyes away, Kyuubi showed contempt for this false gentleness, "A place that requires you to treat it with such caution, even if you think about it, you know how dangerous it is."

Carelessly licking the fur on his back, "You are valuable, so that one may not let you die easily, but I am different... let the brigade do things like cannon fodder .”

It gave a malicious, bloody smile, "I dare not go to the place of the gods."

Meluem smiled softly, and walked over to stroke the soft hair on its head, "You're so ruthless, Nine-Tails. If I die, you, the contractor, won't be able to live either."

"...So, we must come back alive,"

Lowering his head, Nine Tails hid his expression in the shadows, "If you implicate me in my death, I will never let you go, do you hear me?"

Must, come back alive!

An obscure light flashed in the black eyes, and Meluem said indifferently, "This is not something I can decide, but even if it is death, you will be with me, right?"

"……what,"

After a long silence, Jiuwei said, "Isn't this something that has been decided long ago? Whether it's a contract or..."

It was still the bond between the two that bound it tightly without knowing when.

"Really..."

Kyuubi smiled wryly, "I lost to you."
