Chapter 586 Next Stop (53)
The dinner was hosted by the Liu family.
The major families in the upper reaches of the region took turns holding the ceremony every five months. This time, it was the Liu family's turn to be on duty, and it just so happened that their young master Liu Jin had woken up.
Get approval.
Being specially allowed to be held in the Black Palace was a great honor.
When Qiao Xi arrived here, arm in arm with Xu Si, the magnificent palace looked completely different from the heavily guarded one she had seen yesterday. Almost every powerful family had been here before, and the servants of the Black Palace were still on duty.
But there was no patrolling of the palace as usual.
They are just evenly scattered everywhere, and you can see them at any time.
The voices of VIPs talking to each other passed by his ears, and many people greeted Xu Si. The man responded calmly with a smile.
And Qiao Xi has been just a qualified vase from beginning to end.
She just obediently held the man's arm and stayed by his side without saying a word.
Tables were placed on both sides of the open space, filled with a variety of delicious food and drinks. People in waiter uniforms pushed dining carts, placing fresh food on the tables.
People in fancy dresses were talking to each other.
They walked through the crowd, coming to the dining table from time to time, holding their own plates to taste all kinds of delicious food.
The Liu family is in charge of the overall situation.
But in the dark, the eyes of several people were always fixed on Qiao Xi.
As if confirming something.
They looked through the guest registration, found Xu Si's column, and locked onto Qiao Xi's name.
"Is that the auction item?"
"Yes."
Someone asked in a low voice, and soon someone answered.
They naturally recognized Xu Si, but when the items were auctioned, the auctioneer kept the information of other users with the right to use them confidential.
Generally speaking, it will not be made public.
Therefore, some auction items are priced very high after they are sold.
Once the user takes it out and shows it publicly, some people will privately marvel at the other party's financial resources.
The Liu family originally wanted to contact that auction item.
However, due to a lot of trivial matters, this matter has not really been put on the agenda.
And after a while.
When something is announced, the female companions who are auction items present need to leave. These things are not for the female companions who are auction items to hear.
Qiao Xi was naturally no exception.
therefore.
Before it officially started, she saw Xu Si nodding to her, indicating that she could leave and wait for it to end.
Qiao Xi naturally had no interest in staying.
A banquet with clinking glasses.
The people playing chess were all cunning and cunning. She, as a vase, found it boring to watch these people with super powers who were listed as strong people talking to each other.
only.
Shortly after Qiao Xi left Xu Si, a man dressed as a servant gently stopped her.
"Miss Qiao, Master Liu wants to see you."
The respectful attendant whispered, conveying the order given by the Liu family.
"I understand. Lead the way."
Liu Jin is unconscious most of the time.
He had just woken up, but he had to take in a huge amount of information. Even though his family had already auctioned off Qiao Xi for him, Liu Jin, who had been in a coma for a long time, was unaware of it.
I just found out about this when I woke up.
His family was even more anxious and wanted to arrange a meeting between Qiao Xi and Liu Jin as soon as possible.
To use Qiao Xi's superpowers as a cauldron.
There are scattered fragments of the Metal Heart in the Black Palace, and the power of the Metal Heart is particularly strong in the hall where the Liu family hosted the banquet.
The attendant took Qiao Xi and quietly walked around the crowd.
Avoid the eyes and ears of others.
Walking deeper into the dark and quiet corridor, after turning a few corners, I went up another floor.
Until the noise of the dinner party downstairs could no longer be heard.
He stopped in front of a door, nodded slightly to Qiao Xi, and then turned and left.
The door was ajar.
It opens with a gentle push.
The furnishings in the room were simple, with a desk lamp perched on top. Its soft, orange-yellow glow framed the thin figure sitting at the desk, his skin so pale it bordered on sickly bloodlessness.
The strong sense of illness between Qingjun's eyebrows and eyes lingered.
He was a young man as elegant and gentle as a lotus. At this moment, he was sitting at the desk with a long robe draped over his shoulders as a coat.
He was wearing pure white pajamas.
When I noticed the door was open, I subconsciously turned my eyes to the source of the sound.
When Liu Jin noticed the gorgeous woman standing by the door, dressed in gorgeous and charming attire, he curled the corners of his lips and smiled slightly.
"Hello, nice to meet you, Miss Qiao."
The man's gentle voice sounded a little weak, and he had just finished saying hello.
soon.
He put his fist to his lips and started to cough. Perhaps he didn't want Qiao Xi to see him looking so weak, so Liu Jin turned slightly to avoid Qiao Xi.
"Master Liu, I'm sorry to bother you."
Qiao Xi walked into the room and closed the door gently. She closed her eyes slightly, feeling the rich aura of the power of the Metal Heart that filled the entire room.
I couldn't even help but sigh with satisfaction.
Such a rich aura must contain at least three fragments of the Metal Heart.
And in the Black Palace.
There are a total of five scattered Metal Heart fragments. Only when all five fragments are collected can they be fused into the Metal Heart.
[So they don't care about these scattered fragments? ]
The little white cat system raised its little paw in the space and asked a question.
They don't know who the fragment is in, they only know that it will choose a host body on its own. As long as the city's power is still there and it can still function normally, that's enough.
The little black cat system flipped through the settings of this other world and said this.
That’s how the world view is.
Although the Metal Heart possesses immense power and is the source of strength for the entire city, few covet it, as anyone who obtains it will face catastrophic disaster.
therefore.
Placed in the Black Palace and guarded by guards.
Later, the Metal Heart broke into pieces and scattered randomly in the Black Palace to choose a suitable host.
[His superpower is quite special. He can attract power media.]
The Little Black Cat System added this.
That's why there are three fragments of the Metal Heart on Liu Jin's body, and it's because the power of these three fragments is too great, which makes him breathless.
so.
The body's automatic protection mechanism is triggered.
To maintain his life, Liu Jin would fall into a deep sleep. However, absorbing three fragments of the Metal Heart had already reached his limit.
therefore.
Even the last fragment was attracted to him, but because the limit was reached.
It has not yet been merged into Liu Jin's body.
This ability to attract power media for one's own use is very powerful, but unfortunately, what Liu Jin attracted was the fragments of the Metal Heart, and the only one who got it was Qiao Xi.
It can be said to be the right medicine for the disease.
Qiao Xi couldn't help rubbing her hands at the task that was delivered to her door for free.
"Don't bother me, you..."
Liu Jin looked at her in front of him and slowly shook his head. For a moment, the young man's expression was a little hesitant, as if he didn't know how to start.
Seeing this, Qiao Xi immediately responded.
"Master Liu, let's get started without further delay. Just give me your wrist and we can transfer power like this."
Qiao Xi stretched out her wrist and gestured.
Gave him a simple demonstration.
"I understand. Sorry to trouble you, Miss Qiao." Liu Jin did not hesitate. He slightly lifted his long sleeves and handed over his pale wrist.
Qiao Xi held his wrist.
Begin to absorb the power of the three Metal Heart fragments.
Liu Jin didn't care much at first, but when he realized that something seemed to be slowly flowing away from his body, his expression finally changed.
The kind that is always full.
The force that was almost driving him to lose his mind seemed to be being pulled away by a gentle force, flowing in a different direction.
And in the meantime.
There was a leader with a gentle yet unfamiliar power, helping him sort out his superpowers that had become disordered due to absorbing too much.
“What is this…?”
Liu Jin widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Qiao Xi who was holding his wrist.
"My superpower can also absorb the overflowing power, and then transform it into purer power to feed you back." Seeing his surprised reaction, Qiao Xi explained.
"So that's how it is."
Liu Jin quickly accepted this statement. After all, he did feel a gentle force sorting out the chaotic power in his body.
Three fragments of the Metal Heart.
Qiao Xi accepted them one by one, and at the same time she also infused some purer power into Liu Jin for mobilization.
Liu Jin's body is still too weak.
After being corroded by the power of the Metal Heart Fragment for so long, it's a miracle that he's still alive.
However.
His superpowers were unique and uncontrollable. The last remaining piece of Metal Heart power would inevitably be drawn to his superpowers.
In the end, it will also be absorbed into Liu Jin's body.
And if Qiao Xi came to collect them again at that time, the fragments of the Metal Heart would be complete.
"I feel much better."
When Qiao Xi let go of his hand, Liu Jin also tried to clench his fist, and he no longer felt as weak and powerless as before.
Now.
He could feel that there was abundant gentle power in his body that was constantly repairing himself.
only.
He still couldn't master his superpowers, and when he was young, he lost control of his superpowers because they were too powerful.
He absorbed a lot of power that did not belong to him.
Later, a strong man from the Liu family took action and sealed most of his out-of-control super powers.
However, even so.
It still couldn't last too long. Later, no one knew what kind of power it absorbed, which caused Liu Jin to feel bloated as if it was filled with too much power.
At first, this feeling was not very strong.
However, as I get older.
The feeling of discomfort became more and more intense, until one day, Liu Jin, who was doing his own thing in his daily life, fainted on the ground without any warning.
It scared the people around.
From that moment on, Liu Jin began to show symptoms of coma.
At first he was only unconscious for about twenty minutes, but as time went on, his coma time became longer and longer.
From the original twenty minutes.
It increased to about forty minutes, sixty minutes, and finally one or two days.
It has developed to this point.
After he fell into a coma, it would take at least a month for him to wake up again.
so.
After realizing that his body did not have that strange feeling that made him uncomfortable, he felt sincerely happy.
only.
Because Liu Jin lacked communication with people outside, when facing Qiao Xi, he was still a little worried about how to express his gratitude.
then.
After Liu Jin thought about it carefully, he said, "If it's convenient, Miss Qiao, could you stay for a cup of coffee?"
He asked carefully.
This also surprised Qiao Xi: "It's my honor, Master Liu. But... why are you so polite to me, an auction item?"
The woman also expressed her doubts.
Most of the people she met in the upper reaches of the city looked down on the auction items.
To put it bluntly.
The auction items are nothing more than playthings without any human rights, something that the people of the upper reaches can discard at will. They have no dignity, and naturally no one will consider their feelings.
Because there are many alternatives.
You can find a lot.
"You're welcome?" Liu Jin tilted his head in confusion when he heard her say this, probably unable to understand why Qiao Xi asked that.
Then the gentle young man slowly shook his head.
"You helped me and are my benefactor. Although I met you in this way, you are undoubtedly my benefactor."
The young man said so.
He lowered his eyes to look at his palms, although he didn't know where this intuition came from.
But he had a hunch.
After being treated by Qiao Xi's superpowers, he will no longer fall into a coma.
While his intuition was certainly a bit absurd, Liu Jin himself felt somewhat confident. It was the discomforting power that had caused him to fall into a coma, and now that power had vanished.
The source is resolved.
He shouldn't be unconscious anymore.
The problem that had troubled him for more than a decade was finally solved. Regardless of Qiao Xi's identity, at least the person standing before him now was an elegant, mature, and beautiful woman, a living person.
As human beings, we all have thoughts.
Therefore, it was naturally impossible for him to purchase the right to use Qiao Xi just for his family.
But ignore the essence of this woman.
After all, for Liu Jin, he has not been exposed to much of the intrigue in the upper reaches of the world, and the concept shaped in his worldview is equality.
if.
There was no pink pass hanging there to indicate Qiao Xi's identity.
Who would, when seeing this gorgeously and noblely dressed woman, think that she was a 'commodity' to be auctioned?
Liu Jin asked Qiao Xi to sit opposite him.
At this moment, he looked down and noticed that his clothes were a little inappropriate, but in this situation, he could only smile bitterly.
"I'm sorry for letting Miss Qiao see this."
Because he was in a coma for a long time, he only had his family to face. Naturally, he got used to wearing pajamas all the time.
Basically, there is no chance for Ember to go out.
"No, your grace will not be lost because of the inconvenience of illness." Qiao Xi smiled nonchalantly and picked up the coffee that the waiter had just brewed and brought in.
I don't know if he is taking care of her.
Liu Jin, who had just recovered from an illness and was not yet fit to eat desserts, had some apple tarts and cakes brought to her.
