Zongman: A Dimensional Journey Starting from Fulilian

"Really? You are really very charming."

"That......"

"But why do you think I am the one following you, instead of you following me?"

Shichen suddenly stood up, leaned closer to Crusch, stretched out one hand and lifted her chin.

The arrogant aura came over her face, as if sacred and inviolable, with supreme sharpness, determined to conquer her heart.

Only then did Crusch understand why Betty said that she would become his woman.

Chapter 520: Kurui Poaching

"It's good to have ideas, but some things can only be thought about and not spoken out."

Shichen lifted Crusch's chin and leaned his upper body so close to her face that the distance between their noses was only as thick as a finger.

Crusch could even feel Tokichi's breath hitting her face. Such close contact with the opposite sex did not make her shy. Instead, she remained stunned where she was.

She was stunned by Shi Chen's aura.

She seemed to be confronted with several incredible and overwhelming auras.

There is sacredness, holiness, depth, thickness, dominance... and unspeakable mystery, as if being in a different space and experiencing the baptism of time.

And these, in essence, were like mighty and ferocious beasts, staring at her, pressing her down and making her breathless.

"Shichen you..."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, but you'd better give up the idea." Shi Chen smiled at the dazed Crusch, released her chin, stepped back and sat down again.

"call--"

The oppressive atmosphere disappeared completely, and Crusch unconsciously let out a long sigh of relief.

She just thought she was almost going to die.

Is this what's really scary about this man?

No wonder he said that the previous ability was just a trick and was not on the same level as what she just experienced.

Because she didn't feel any hostility just now and still couldn't breathe, but when she was in the throne hall, the indiscriminate hostility was still very obvious.

Is it just the momentum that makes people feel powerless?

After all, I still... want it!

For Wilhelm's fighting power, Crusch was willing to agree to his request and help him defeat the extremely dangerous white whale, not to mention the time when he could ignore everything.

The power of time is absolutely necessary for the reform of this country, and with his power, she firmly believes that anything can be done.

Otherwise, nothing can be done.

It was a simple truth. She and Emilia were enemies. If she couldn't get the power of time, she would sooner or later become his enemy. In the face of his power, she didn't think she had a chance to fulfill her wish.

So that's how it is. No wonder she will become Shichen's woman in the future instead of Shichen becoming her.

At this moment, Crusch finally understood the true meaning of Betty's words.

"Then why are you willing to be Emilia's knight?" Crusch took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.

"Any questions?" Shi Chen asked with a smile and took another sip of wine.

The wine has a mellow taste and is smooth on the tongue. It is more like a nutrient solution than wine.

"Shichen, you probably don't want to be anyone's follower, right? Then why did you become Emilia's knight?" Crusch asked bluntly.

"These two don't seem to conflict?"

"What do you mean?"

"I serve as Emilia's knight, not as her follower. Instead, I serve as her pillar to support and protect her. Emilia and I do not have a master-servant relationship," Shi Chen explained.

“So that’s how it is…” Crusch suddenly realized.

"In this world, no one can make me her follower." Shi Chen emphasized proudly.

"I understand...but, we can also have this kind of relationship." Crusch stared at him closely.

"No." Shi Chen shook his head.

"why?"

"Have you forgotten why I became Emilia's knight?"

"Do you like her..."

Crusch doesn't understand the feeling of love, she has not experienced it yet, but she knows that if you like someone, you will do anything for that person.

"But, didn't you say that I'm also very charming? Then you..."

Crusch said this unwillingly, but was interrupted by Shichen raising his hand.

"You are indeed very charming, but not as charming as Emilia. I fell in love with her first."

"Fall in love first... then if we met first..."

"There's no need to think too much about this kind of thing, but do you want me to like you?" Shi Chen looked at her.

"Yes! I want to be your partner!" Crusch nodded solemnly.

"Why? Didn't we just meet? It can't be because of what Betty said, right?"

"There may be some reasons, but I find that you are the most suitable person to be my partner."

"Even if I have someone else in my heart?"

"It's okay, I won't restrict your feelings, even if there are other women..."

"Haha~" Shi Chen suddenly laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"Crusius, you made another mistake."

"what?"

"It's not you who limits my emotions, but my emotions. No one can limit them. Who I like is not decided by outsiders, and no one can decide it."

"I..." Crusch opened his mouth, unable to refute.

"Haha~ The wine is good. Please invite me again when you have time." Shi Chen drank the rest of the wine in one gulp, then stood up.

"Since you want me to like you, then work harder and make yourself more dazzling."

After saying that, Shichen left.

Crusch sat in his seat, not moving, watching Shichen slowly leave.

“To make myself... more dazzling?” Crusch murmured to himself.

She understood what Shichen meant. He didn't hate her now, but she was not good enough for him now.

She needs to be more attractive.

Thinking of this, she raised the corners of her mouth.

She didn't like him either.

Since he has made her more dazzling, he must also show more strength.

“Oh~ Lord Crusch, you seem very happy.” At this time, Ferris came over after taking a bath.

"Phyllis, you're here just in time. Have a couple more drinks with me."

"Of course no problem, but you seem to be in a good mood." Phyllis came to Shichen's seat and sat down.

“Can you tell?” Crusch smiled and poured him a glass of wine.

"You can't suppress the smile on your face. Is it because you just drank with Shichen?" Phyllis naturally met Shichen on the way here.

"almost."

"Ah! I'm jealous. You've never been so happy before when you were drinking with me!"

"Haha~Really?"

"Of course!"

"Then will you drink with me?"

"accompany......"

The next day, after breakfast, Emilia asked Crusch some questions.

Crusch naturally agreed readily.

Shichen didn't tell Emilia that Kuroko was trying to steal her away. There was no need to do that since he couldn't steal her away anyway.

He did not disturb the two of them, but continued to play with Rem and the others.

After all, I won't leave here for the time being, so I might as well just sit there doing nothing.

Two more days passed like this, and one morning, Shichen planned to take Emilia to visit the royal capital.

"Shichen, when are we going back?" Emilia suddenly asked on the way.

"Why, are you tired of staying here?"

“It’s not that I’m tired of staying here, but it’s not good for us to keep disturbing Crusch here…”

"I see. After you've used someone, you want to abandon them, right?" Shi Chen joked sarcastically.

"Hate it, you know that's not what I meant." Emilia glared at Shi Chen in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay. I was just kidding. You can go back tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Emilia was stunned.

"Well, if we can resolve the matter today, we won't have to stay in the capital."

"Get things settled...what are you going to do, Shichen?" Emilia asked curiously.

"The royal election has already begun. Don't you want to see the reaction of the people in the royal capital?"

"Is this the reason why you stayed in Crusch's mansion?" Emilia suddenly realized.
