But soon, Qian Duoduo adjusted her smile.
His lips twitched slightly, a forced smile appeared on his face, and even his usually neat mustache looked somewhat disheveled at that moment.
"Heh, looks like a chair has chosen you, but... this chair might be a bit 'old and worn'..."
"I hope... you won't mind. Of course, if you don't like it, you can choose something else..."
"This is it."
Jiang Wang interrupted Qian Duoduo directly, his voice deep and firm.
He then turned and glanced at the somewhat worn-out chair.
Only by looking at it up close can Jiang Wang see the chair in its entirety more clearly.
broken...
Precarious...
It seemed as if even a gust of wind could shatter this chair, turning it into a pile of sticks, and finally sending it into the coal stove that powers the boiler...
"Heh, sit down. Since you chose him, and he chose you, then he is capable enough to bear your weight..."
Qian Duoduo's voice came from the side, but since half of his body was in darkness, Jiang Wang couldn't see his expression.
But from his voice, you could tell that Qian Duoduo seemed to have a lot of complicated feelings.
Just as Jiang Wang was cautiously preparing to try sitting on it.
"Are you just going to sit here?"
Qian Duoduo's sudden voice startled Jiang Wang.
Let's choose a seat around the round table.
Jiang Wang was speechless...
Ever since he came to this hall, he's felt something's off...
As a result, Qian Duoduo also had a lot of troubles.
Choosing chairs and seats...
It just never ends.
Actually, having a lot of money and trouble wasn't the main reason for Jiang Wang's anger. The main reason he was irritable was that he didn't like the main chair; he just didn't like it, for no reason.
Moreover, since entering this hall, many of his actions and things have exceeded his comprehension and slipped out of his control.
Just like that step he took without any apparent reason...
He didn't know why, he just felt he should step out, there was no reason...
This is what made Jiang Wang somewhat unhappy.
Actions without reason...
Qian Duoduo stared blankly at Jiang Wangyi, not saying a word, but flew to a seat to the left of the main seat and sat down.
He then took out a scroll and began writing and drawing on it.
Jiang Wang watched his movements. He originally wanted to move the chair directly next to Qian Duoduo, but when he saw the tall main chair, he thought that if he moved it there, wouldn't he be lower than him?
An unnamed fire rose within him.
Jiang Wang then picked up a chair and walked directly to the front of the main chair!
"Bang!"
With a thud, Jiang Wang placed the chair down and plopped down on it. The old, shaky chair, though seemingly frail, stood firmly on the carpet covered with some kind of animal fur and even supported Jiang Wang's unreservedly squatting bottom.
Qian Duoduo looked up at the spot Jiang Wang had chosen, somewhat surprised...
"Where are you going to sit?!"
"Um!"
At this moment, Qian Duoduo's expression was somewhat strange. He seemed to want to laugh but couldn't, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.
Are you sure... you don't want to choose again?
Qian Duoduo's expression became even stranger, as if he were watching a good show.
"No choice! This is it!"
suddenly!
As Jiang Wang finished speaking.
A strange energy emanated from the floor beneath the stool, as if it were some kind of pact.
It's like water droplets falling onto a calm lake.
A ripple spread outwards.
The old chair behind Jiang Wang seemed to have become even more sturdy.
After a long while, Qian Duoduo slowly raised her head.
He breathed a sigh of relief...
"Good lad, you've got guts."
"Alright, now that you have the approval of the Roundtable, we can continue with the contents of the agreement."
"To signify the membership, *slap!*"
Qian Duoduo stretched out his hand and gently snapped his fingers.
A spatial rift appeared not far from Jiang Wang.
The next second.
Nothing came out of the crack.
Jiang Wang looked at the crack, then at Qian Duoduo, who also seemed a bit bewildered.
Qian Duoduo immediately realized what was going on, and a teasing expression appeared on his face.
"What are you standing there for? Don't be shy! Haven't you been saying you wanted to see me every day?"
"I don't!"
As soon as Qian Duoduo finished speaking, a female voice came from inside the tunnel!
When Jiang Wang heard the woman's voice, he suddenly stood up!
He knew that voice all too well!
A moment later.
A man dressed in black with a hood emerged from the crack.
Jiang Wangchao took a small step forward...
"Alice?... "
Beneath the hood, Number One, or rather Alice, lightly bit her lip, then reached out her arm and slowly pulled the hood down...
When Jiang Wang saw the figure in front of him that looked exactly like Alice, he froze on the spot!
Facing this Alice, this so-called Number One, he was not only not unfamiliar with her, but even extremely familiar with her!
In an instant, scenes flashed through his mind.
[Within the Fallen God Space]
Under a rain of blood.
"Do you always like to play these tricks, making me save you at the last minute?"
"Yes, Your Majesty~"
Alice at that time, with her cunning and a hint of shyness in her eyes, is still vivid in my mind.
Inside the insect nest.
He fell into a coma due to evolution and severe injuries, and in his final moments, Jiang Wang entrusted everything he owned to Alice.
Severely wounded, he gently touched Alice's fair forehead with his bloodied fingers.
...
[When carrying out the Black Serpent mission]
The image of Alice burning her genes for him when he faced the ambush of the black dragon and the embers, and the last words she uttered...
"My Lord, I love you!"
...
These scenes played out in Jiang Wang's mind...
Jiang Wang's eyes reddened slightly, his brows furrowed, and then he smiled brightly.
"Heh... Should I call you Alice, or Number One...?"
Number One, who had been looking down, suddenly looked up and stared straight at Jiang Wang...
"You recognize me?!"
Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
However, when Jiang Wang's Alice clone unlocked the gene lock, she sensed the existence of this clone and immediately changed her mind. She wanted to see who was in control of this clone.
At that time, Jiang Wang was merely a lowly Silver rank, struggling to survive even in the Fallen God Space...
She thought Jiang Wang would treat her like a war machine, just like everyone else.
But later, as she got to know Jiang Wang better, she discovered that he didn't do that...
Jiang Wang regarded him as a reliable partner.
He even treated her like family.
At that time, he almost became obsessed with Jiang Wang, because the insect hive gave her a warmth she had never felt before.
Although Qian Duoduo provided her with protection and various resources.
But Jiang Wang offered her a touch of warmth.
A glimmer of warm light shone through her clone as she learned about the darkness of humanity, the truth of the world, and the ugliness of genes...
Back then, the insect hive was like a safe haven.
Later, when she realized that her presence around Jiang Wang would endanger him, she knew she had to leave.
That's why the combustion gene exists...
Only a wisp of spirit remained within that clone...
