Your Majesty, Your Tentacles Are Poking Me

In 2020, Earth experienced its first war against aliens. Its homeland was devastated, and just as Earth's defenses were about to fall, the Galactic Emperor, who happened to be passing by the solar...

Chapter 19 Flower Vine Tribe

The people upstairs were horrified by the tragic scene below. Xitu suddenly turned and ran downstairs, followed closely by guard Huo Qi. Qin Changqing glanced at Jin and his companions, who seemed indifferent, and turned to Hanhai, saying, "You should go help them too. Be careful."

Hanhai frowned. Qin Changqing understood what he meant. He was worried about his safety. He comforted him, "Don't worry about me."

Jin Zheng, who was standing next to him, felt that he was preventing him from getting close to the beauty, so he said at the right time: "Don't worry, it is my unshirkable responsibility to protect the beauty's safety."

Hanhai: “…” Why do I feel even more uneasy?

The situation downstairs was so bad that even with the help of Xitu and Hodge, they still couldn't save a few students. Hanhai had no choice but to nod to Qin Changqing, turned around and ran downstairs.

However, upstairs was not safe either. Qin Changqing had just loaded the bullets in his revolver when he saw several servants running up the stairs on the other side with stiff bodies. Qin Changqing raised the revolver to aim and was about to pull the trigger when a big hand suddenly reached out from behind and covered his hand holding the gun. Qin Changqing felt his fingers on the trigger move three times in a row, and the revolver fired three shots in a row.

The bullet whizzed past the three spiritual energy bodies and accurately shot into the monster black monkey that was parasitic on them!

The crimson cinnabar instantly exploded within the black monkey's body, and the shrill scream was like a needle piercing a person's ear. Qin Changqing heard the person standing behind him hiss, "What's that sound?"

Qin Changqing pulled his hand out of his palm and was about to ask him how he could shoot so accurately when suddenly, several rattan whips as thick as an adult man's thigh popped up from above the hall next to him and swept towards them. Qin Changqing was startled and was about to bend down to avoid it when an arm had already circled his waist from behind. Before Qin Changqing could react, his body was lifted into the air.

The rattan whip followed closely and hit the place where they had just stood fiercely. With a loud bang, the walls of the corridor and guest rooms were instantly smashed to pieces.

"What the hell is this?" Jin cursed above his head.

His question was clearly directed at the black-haired companion, but Qin Changqing's attention was focused on his outburst of curse words. He recalled how long he had been on Emperor Star and had never heard Lan Sinian curse anyone. He had always been shameless and a scoundrel, yet he always maintained a gentlemanly elegance...

Just as he was lost in thought, the black-haired man answered Jin's question, "Kah is from the Flower Vine Tribe." This seemed to be the first time the black-haired man spoke since they met. His voice was cold and indifferent, like ice emerging from water, carrying a hint of chillness.

Jin frowned and placed Qin Changqing on the other side of the intact corridor, while expressing his love to him, "My beauty, please wait here for me for a while. I will definitely deal with this monster that is bothering you as soon as possible."

Qin Changqing: "..."

Jin quickly flew into the air. He took out a special weapon from the space button and fought with his companions and the vine whips.

Those vine whips were at least five or six stories tall, with a dozen or so in total, and each swing unleashed a powerful gust of wind. Qin Changqing ducked to avoid a stray object swept by the tentacles. Turning around, he saw several spiritual energy beings standing before him. Startled, he quickly shot the black monkeys above their heads.

The black monkeys were destroyed by cinnabar, and the spiritual energy bodies that were parasitized by them disappeared completely in front of him. Qin Changqing was stunned.

"Be careful!" Jin's voice rang out above his head. Qin Changqing, who was in a daze, only had time to hear the sound of something breaking through the air before his body was whipped back by something.

Qin Changqing, who was hit, felt severe pain in his body and had stars in his eyes. Just as he was about to hit the wall on the other side and fall down, a tall figure suddenly flew over and caught him. However, because of the force of his impact, the two people who were hugging each other were forced to turn several times in the air, and they hit the corridor on the other side heavily and rushed into the guest room next door!

"Ah!" The two people hugged each other and rushed into the guest room. They thought they would stop after hitting the wall, but they didn't expect that most of the floor of the room was empty. Qin Changqing screamed, and the two fell straight down!

The strong feeling of falling made Qin Changqing's heart rise to his throat. If they fell from such a high place, they would at least break their spines if not die!

Fortunately, reality did not develop as he imagined. Their falling trend soon stopped, and Qin Changqing crashed heavily into Jin Kuankuo's arms.

"Hmm." A muffled groan came from above his head. Qin Changqing looked up and saw Jin frowning. However, after noticing that he was looking over, Jin forced himself to put away the slightly painful expression and gave him a smile that he thought was very charming and powerful. "Fortunately, I arrived in time and didn't let you get hurt."

Qin Changqing: "..."

Jin had been protecting him tightly in his arms all the way, using his body as a shield to block all harm. How could Qin Changqing not see this? However, with this man's current identity, Qin Changqing was unsure of his purpose. To avoid ruining his plans, he could only treat him as a stranger.

Seeing Jin's slightly distorted face, Qin Changqing hurriedly climbed up from him and pinched his body with both hands. After confirming that he had no broken bones or anything like that, he felt a little relieved and asked, "Are you feeling any worse?"

Jin was lying on the floor, slightly tilting his handsome face up, with a sad expression on his face, and said to him affectionately: "Yes, my heart is a little sad because you have always refused to accept my passionate love!"

Qin Changqing: "..." How long will this play end?

"Get up if you're okay." Qin Changqing turned around and looked around. They didn't know where they had fallen into. The dark walls around them were inlaid with a few things that looked like night pearls. The dim light made it difficult for him to see far away. "This castle is very strange."

"How heartless." Jin, who was still lying on the ground, complained, "It turns out that the one who falls in love first is destined to lose miserably."

Qin Changqing's heart skipped a beat, and then he was silent for a while. He didn't know if he was joking with him again, or if he meant something else...

Fortunately, Jin did not continue the topic after he stood up. He reached out and held Qin Changqing, saying with a smile: "It's safer for us to stay together now." Qin Changqing did not refuse him. The man's palms were broad and strong, making people feel very safe.

Seeing that he did not refuse her approach, Jin seemed to be in a good mood and pulled him to the wall, which was painted with many ancient and mysterious vine patterns. Qin Changqing did not understand art very well, but he also felt that these patterns were very beautiful, a kind of wild beauty that grew freely.

"This is the totem of General Kah's clan. He is known as the weakest of the flower vine tribe, but eventually became a general of the empire. He is a very remarkable figure." Jin's voice sounded in his ears, slowly introducing him to this legendary figure. His leisurely posture did not seem like he was in danger, but more like a gentleman walking slowly among the flowers.

"What are those vines? General Kah's people?" Qin Changqing was very curious about the various strange events in this castle.

"I don't know either." Jin turned around and smiled at him, showing his white teeth. "I was very young when General Kah died."

Qin Changqing looked at his teeth and thought to himself, if you have the guts to change your face and pretend not to know me, then change your teeth too.

"Isn't my mouth beautiful? Do you want to kiss me?" Jin suddenly closed the distance between them, and the tip of his tall nose almost touched his nose.

Qin Changqing gritted his teeth in his heart and pushed him away expressionlessly, "You think too much, we are not familiar with each other."

"Now that we're done, can we kiss?"

"No." Qin Chang continued to look around the space they were in and answered perfunctorily.

"Well, it seems I have a long way to go in my pursuit."

"If we don't find a way out of here quickly, there will be no way out."

"Yes, it's really my fault for letting a beautiful woman stay in such a bad environment."

Qin Changqing wanted to say a few more words to him, but he was pulled behind him.

Immediately afterwards, the friction sound of a stone door opening was heard in the dark space. Soon, a passage opened up on the stone wall in front of them. The two looked at each other. Jin grabbed his hand and led him carefully into the stone door.

Behind the stone door was a narrow corridor. The two walked in the dark for a while and finally reached the end of the corridor, where there was a staircase leading downstairs.

There was no light at the bottom of the stairs, as if a monster was waiting there with its mouth wide open. Faint sounds came up through the pipe-like stairs, and the empty, caged sounds rang in my ears, which was creepy.

"Are you still going down?" Qin Changqing turned around and asked Jin silently.

Jin pondered for a few seconds and finally said, "Let's go."

Qin Changqing glanced at him, his eyes narrowed slightly. He suddenly had a doubt in his heart. Why did this person come here? Was it simply because he was worried about him?

He thought again of the series of decisions Lansnian made after knowing his abilities, which seemed to have intentionally or unintentionally led him to Castle Kaher.

Not knowing what to feel, Qin Changqing sighed slightly and decided not to think about it anymore.

The stairs leading down were long and winding. Jin took out a dim lighting device from the space button, which could ensure that they could see the ground under their feet and illuminate the space with a radius of about one meter without being too dazzling and becoming a target of attack.

Qin Changqing felt that they had been walking for more than half an hour before the seemingly endless stairs finally came to an end.

Just as they were about to walk down the last step, they suddenly heard footsteps. The two looked at each other and walked carefully in the direction of the footsteps.

When they finally reached the place where the sound came from, they discovered that there was an even bigger pit under their feet, as big as more than a dozen football fields.

A tall and straight man was walking in it with heavy steps, one after another, his gait stiff.
