The man choked and was speechless. The scarred woman had already mentioned this, what else could he say?
Exhaling a puff of smoke, he was about to go out to relax.
Suddenly, he saw the most beautiful black-haired girl among the three sisters in the iron cage, trying hard to look through the gap in the fence and looking at the newspaper on the table.
When she saw him, her face turned pale with shock, her body trembled, and she shrank back into the corner.
"Another fan of that guy? I thought Amazon Lily's women had never seen a man."
The man sneered and spat on the ground. He didn't bother to pay attention to the three girls, and pushed the door out of the cabin with a cigarette in his mouth.
——What the hell, you’re about to be sold into slavery, and you still have the time to pay attention to the news about your idol?
but……
As the cold wind blew from the sea, thinking of the scarred woman's reaction, the man felt sour and a little envious.
Romanov Nosha.
It would be great if I could look like that guy... no, even if he was only half as handsome. Why would he pursue Scar Girl for several years and yet he is still rejected?
————————
In this world, there are many people who are despised, of course, man traffickers are not the only ones.
For example, the Marine Headquarters at this moment, Malinfando.
Cha Dou was begging in front of the ward on the fourth floor, but the adjutant Martha at the door, her pretty face seemed to be covered with frost, blocked the door coldly, saying nothing to let him in.
"Please, Martha!"
Cha Dou clasped his palms together, feeling aggrieved like a thirty-year-old child, "I heard that Gion was seriously injured in the war this time and couldn't get out of bed for several days. I was almost worried when I heard the news. Today
Just let me go in and visit!"
"The Major General said she needs to rest and no one wants to see her."
Martha remained expressionless, "But my body has almost recovered and there is nothing serious. Please come back, Lieutenant General Jiaji."
It was too soft, and it didn't have the courage to be hard, so the tea pig had no choice but to give up, scratched its head worriedly, squatted at the entrance of the corridor and lit a cigarette.
Alas, it's all because she used too much force when pursuing Gion, which left a deep psychological shadow on her.
So much so that now it's obvious that he has given up on pursuing her, and he just wants to make a special trip to visit without being allowed to see her.
"never mind……"
The tea dolphin left the fruit basket and flower basket in his hands by the wall and went downstairs with a sigh.
It's early in the morning, and Gion is probably still awake.
He really shouldn't bother her at this time. He should just let her rest alone. As long as there is nothing wrong with her body, he will feel at ease...
——
In the ward.
The morning light filtered through the gaps in the curtains, and the faint fragrance of gardenia filled the air.
Taotu, who had just woken up, looked at the clear sky outside the window, listened to the footsteps gradually receding outside, and spoke softly:
"gone?"
"Well, Major General." Martha's resolute voice came, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will never let an outsider in."
That's good……
Taotu breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked down at the sleeping figure still buried in his arms, he felt a little embarrassed and suddenly pinched this guy's ears:
"The sun is almost shining on your butt. If you don't go to work, why are you still here with me?"
"Hmm...huh?"
Nuo Xia woke up dimly in bed, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and looked blankly at the sun outside the window, "Eh? What time is it?"
"It's half past seven."
Taotu pushed him angrily, "Where is your biological clock that has been unshakable for more than ten years? Why didn't I see you wake up at 5:30? You slept like a dead pig. Do you know how heavy it is on me?"
"It's been a month since I've slept much, and I was so tired from playing a few days ago..."
Nuo Xia yawned, rolled over and got out of bed, squinted her eyes and stretched comfortably.
Well, sure enough, my body still slept soundly, I didn't have a bed habit, and I didn't have those tangled worries anymore, so I didn't stay up all night while tossing and turning in the guest room of the Karp family.
Besides...
The soft and bouncy little rabbit is indeed much more comfortable than a pillow.
He washed briefly and went home in high spirits.
After a while, they returned to the ward, followed by Shia. The two of them were carrying a bunch of lunch boxes in their hands, and they opened them one by one on the bedside table, revealing the sumptuous breakfast inside.
"Ah, did Aunt Tulip make it?"
Taotu happily took the lunch box from Shia and asked casually. She had just recovered from the illness and her face was still a little pale.
"No, my mother went to complete the retirement procedures with my father, but she hasn't come back yet. Bellemare helped me do it."
Nuo Xia also served herself a bowl of seafood porridge and drank it slowly with her legs crossed:
"She was injured less than you. She was discharged from the hospital yesterday. When she heard that you hadn't recovered yet, she was very worried. She specially made nourishing porridge. She will probably come to visit you later."
He was a little depressed when he said this, "It's such a naked differential treatment... I'm obviously more seriously injured, so why haven't I seen her worry so much?"
"Because your body, Enochia, can heal quickly from any serious injury. It doesn't even matter."
Shia helped Taotu take out the tableware and said with a silly smile, "I heard from Sister Gion that your injury would have been almost healed on the day the war ended. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been left to preside over the endgame. You were the last batch to return last night.
Headquarters."
"Then as soon as he returned to the headquarters, he stayed on my bed all night under the pretext of visiting."
Taotu was drinking nourishing porridge and narrowed her eyes in enjoyment. Hearing this, she turned around and rolled her eyes at Nuo Xia, "You don't have any conscience, why don't you go to accompany Shia and Bellemere first?"
The resolute and unyielding Bellemere, the charming and lovely Shia, are all good girls that make people feel bad...
In the days when they had exchanged bodies, the more they got to know each other, the more she felt worthless for these two little cuties. Why were they both fascinated by Nuo Xia?
——This smooth-talking scumbag!
"Well..."
Nuo Xia felt a little guilty when she glared at her, and said honestly, "Actually, I went back to the headquarters at around five o'clock last night. I went home first to spend time with my two children, and Bellemere..."
"Um?"
"Then I went out at around eight o'clock and went to Shia's place to coax her until she fell asleep..."
"?"
"I finally arrived at the hospital after ten o'clock and stayed with you all night. Brigadier General..."
Looking at the sneer of Nuo Xia, Taotu laughed angrily, "A master of time management, right? Fortunately, I was quite touched when I saw you last night. It turns out that I am the last one?"
"You see, sometimes it's better not to ask about some things. It hurts so much to tell the truth."
"..."
Taotu wanted to give this bastard a kick, but he still couldn't move his legs freely, so he had to give up and continued to drink seafood porridge, snorting coldly:
"What about the future? How to arrange it in the future? Do you plan to keep fooling around like this?"
"Well..."
Nuo Xia liked Little Rabbit's character of speaking openly without any hesitation. After thinking about it, he tentatively asked, "How about taking turns? One person for one day?"
"Who asked you this?"
Taotu was embarrassed and finally couldn't hold it back. She sat up straight and flicked his forehead with her fingers, "What are you thinking about all day long! What I mean is..."
For a moment, she didn't know how to describe it specifically. Name? Formal relationship? It couldn't always be like this. Several people were entangled. If word spread like that, there would inevitably be rumors, right?
The tacit understanding between the old husband and wife made Nuo Xia understand instantly. His expression immediately became serious. He looked into Taotu's eyes and said seriously:
"Don't worry, Brigadier. Just like I said when I apologized before, I will definitely shoulder my responsibilities in the future and will not let any of you down again!"
"When I meet my parents after get off work today, I will officially start discussing marriage with them. When everything is ready, I will definitely give you a grand and perfect wedding!"
That's pretty much it...
Satisfied, Taotu lay back against the wall and continued to enjoy the seafood porridge with warm mouthfuls. Suddenly, he heard a clang and looked up strangely.
But he saw Xia looking up at Noxia in a daze, her beautiful light blue eyes full of surprise, and she didn't even notice that the lunch box in her hand fell to the ground.
This silly kid, Taotu pursed his lips and smiled, then looked at Nuo Xia warningly.
——The meaning in the eyes is very clear. If such a cute girl gets married in the future, will you have the nerve to apologize to her and continue to flirt with women outside?
Nuo Xia immediately returned the look with tacit understanding——
Don't worry, Brigadier. I will definitely change my mind from now on, cultivate my mind and character, and be a good person!
—————
After leaving the hospital.
Nuo Xia went straight to his office and started clocking in for the day.
The sailors inevitably caused a commotion along the way. Everywhere they went, it was like an idol meeting, with excited screams being heard all the time.
It took a lot of effort to get through the crowd, and he was sweating all over, which made him quite helpless.
When he arrived at his desk, Nuo Xia first looked up and glanced at the calligraphy banner he hung on the wall at the end of last year.
Many admirals at the Navy Headquarters have the habit of displaying these things in their offices to express their stance on justice.
The one in the Warring States Period is "King's Justice", the one hung by Tsuruchu is "Pure Justice", and the one hung by Akainu is "Absolute Justice";
When he was an intern at the G2 branch, he also saw Kizaru pass through the so-called "ambiguous justice."
As for Nuo Xia, what is hanging is...
[Effortless Justice]
Just like what he said to the green pheasant on the windless belt two years ago.
Even fireflies have to work hard to emit some light. No matter how weak the light is, when gathered into a sea, it can penetrate the darkness and illuminate the vast sky.
And now.
Although he is still some distance away from the star Sun mentioned at the beginning, he is no longer a weak firefly. Regardless of his status, everything has been turned upside down.
only……
His state of mind seemed to be changing subtly, showing slight signs of expansion and degeneration.
After looking at it quietly for a while, Nuo Xia suddenly studied ink and picked up a pen, and added a line of slightly smaller words in the lower corner:
【Arrogance is the beginning of destruction】
The failure to deal with the Shura field this time was a wake-up call in his heart. The idea of using mind control skills on the people he loved to get through made him feel a little scared and guilty when he thought about it.
After all, people have to have an insurmountable bottom line, especially in this world full of chaos and sin. The more your status rises, the more you need to stay awake.
He doesn't want to become the kind of person he hates the most, let alone lose his original innocent heart.
"call……"
After letting out a gentle breath and calming down, Nuo Xia sat back on the soft sofa.
Before dealing with the mountain of official documents, he first opened the system panel.
He was too busy traveling all the way the past few days and had not yet had time to unpack the mission rewards. Now he finally has time to do his third favorite part of unboxing.
A faint blue system panel jumped out, and he moved his gaze downwards, directly to the taskbar.
"Task reward: 1.2 million points, S-level gift box*1, random attribute points*3"
"Remarks: Compared with the previous side missions, this time there were more ups and downs and failures. However, young man, the temporary brakes and self-alertness are just to lay a solid foundation and go deeper and further on the road of Neptune in the future!"
…
What do you mean by temporarily braking? As I said, I never thought about being a Neptune King?
Nuo Xia had long been accustomed to such painful remarks and was too lazy to think about it. Seeing that the mission reward had been received by default, he looked directly at his backpack column.
The reward is quite generous. 1.2 million points can be said to be the largest amount he has received at one time in so long.
Counting the impact of this war, which various newspapers rushed to report, the points he had consumed before were almost abundant, reaching 1.75 million.
Not to mention the S-level treasure chest and 3 attribute point rewards. The quality of the former has never disappointed Nuo Xia. As for the latter...
At his current stage, every time he adds points, it can easily reach a million level. These three attribute points are equivalent to three million points in vain, which is extremely comfortable.
"Let's open random attribute points first."
He clicked on the icon familiarly and watched quietly as the blue dice began to spin rapidly.
"Click on roll, please wait"
"Your charm attribute has reached 1"
"Your charm attribute has reached 1"
"Your endurance attribute has reached 1"
…
A long lost combo.
An increase in stamina is just the icing on the cake, but this charm adds two points in a row...
Nuo Xia was slightly startled and looked at the attribute column. His charm attribute point jumped from "19" to "21".
If I remember correctly, according to previous experience, it seems that every time the charm increases by three points, it means that it has crossed the dividing line and will obtain a brand new charm talent skill?
Then this time...
As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, a new prompt box popped up on the system panel as expected:
[Your charm value has entered the next stage: the current points required to add points: 5 million/each time]
[Your charm value reaches 21 points and you get the talent skill: Petrified Eyes]
【Petrified Eyes】
[Type: Charm Talent Skills]
[Description: When you stare at the target, with just a thought, the person captured by your appearance and temperament will have a probability of entering the petrified state if the heart rate exceeds the threshold]
[Note: This skill has no cooldown CD. To remove the petrified state, the player's blood is required to smear it, so please use it with caution]
["Medusa, the greatest pain in the world is knowing that you are beautiful but not daring to look in the mirror..."]
