Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

The Grand Duke relented.

They were tightly combined.

—You have me, and I have you.

The gods could not separate us.

Tina said these words shyly and timidly. She was as gentle as water and looked at Kang De affectionately.

“…”

As everyone knew, Kang De was an extremely high-level lewd talker.

However, he was also a virgin under the guise of a lecher.

This attribute was extremely fatal. It was precisely because he had never experienced it that he had fantasies. Therefore, he had expectations, so it was easy for him to be blinded by the mountain.

At this moment, Tina was half snuggled against him. Her soft body pressed against him, hot and soft, like a gentle flame. Her beautiful face was gentle, and her cherry blossom-like lips were moist. They were the most beautiful fruit and the most tempting wine, attracting him to taste and sip.

Under her beautiful face was a swan-like beautiful neck, thin and round shoulders, towering peaks, flat abdomen, curvy waist, rising and falling buttocks again, and straight and charming legs. The luxurious dress hid a body that made him fantasize endlessly and go crazy, filling him with desire.

At this moment, Kang De’s defense collapsed. Tina’s words guided his mind into the distance, towards the dreams that had begun to be confused since he was a child, towards the ignorant desires of his youth, towards every colorful night of his youth, and towards his mature preferences after he became an adult.

In an instant, Kang De had already thought of the name of the third child.

Then, this fantasy was exposed by Sword Saint Snowfall’s angry and funny shout.

Hillmelia knocked on the coffee table. “Don’t make things sound so misunderstanding! And the Cathayan over there! Take back your lecherous expression!”

Only then did Kang De turn around and realize that he had been misled by Tina. In the past, he had always been the one to mislead others with lewd words—but Tina’s expression made him not have any thoughts of being angry or ashamed.

The girl bit her lips lightly and threw out beautiful eyes. She chuckled, “Kang De, do you want anything else?”

Before Kang De could answer, the Sword Saint immediately shouted, “Hurry up and give it to him!”

What was it?

Kang De’s thinking speed had not returned to normal. He was still very confused. He saw Tina turn around and look meaningfully at his aunt, then take out a small box wrapped in fine velvet.

He opened it.

A ring lay quietly inside.

“…”

—Dad, you’re acting in the basement of the People’s Republic of China Embassy in Comoros. Do you know that there’s a peerless blond beauty standing in front of your son, the kind with a wedding ring?

However, in the next moment, this ambiguous and subtle scene was cruelly shattered by Sword Saint Snowfall.

“It’s not a wedding ring!”

She immediately shouted.

“…”

Holding the small box, Tina turned to look at her aunt and smiled, “Aunt, you seem to have become a little different after returning from Valentine. You’re no longer as cold as before. Instead, you’ve become noisy and reckless, especially on certain occasions. Do you need me to analyze the reason?”

Hillmelia pulled a face. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

The confrontation was only an instant. After Tina finished speaking, she smiled and turned around.

Kang De had already taken a closer look at the ring.

It was crystal clear and milky white, a little like jade. Instead of calling it a ring, it was more like a ring. It was a circle of width and was not decorated. There was a circle of inscription-like words engraved on the inside. It was not the style of the continent, nor did it have the characteristics of an elf. Instead, it looked like…

He was deep in thought. “This is…”

Tina’s other hand reached for her neck and turned her head slightly. She pulled out the sea-blue pendant from her clothes. It shone with waves of sea-blue patterns, charming and deep. This phenomenon did not surprise Kang De. It was very normal. After all, this pendant was usually hidden in the surging waves.

Some people lived worse than a pendant.

He recognized this thing and guessed what the ring was.

The incident in Glory Sand allowed Tina, who was deeply surrounded, to escape and be saved by Sword Saint Snowfall. It was because of this pendant that it had a shocking teleportation ability and could teleport its owner to another pair of jewelry owners. Moreover, from Tina’s words and actions at that time, this pair of jewelry had a different meaning.

“This pair of jewelry was obtained from Cathay many years ago when Goethe maintained contact and trade with the East. They were treasures forged by the masters of the two countries together and symbolized the friendship and cooperation of the two countries. They were both treasures and tokens, because in the beginning, this ring and pendant were also owned by a Cathayan and a Goethe person respectively…”

Tina held her words and did not say them completely, but this suggestive language made people’s imaginations run wild. Clearly, these two Cathayans and Goethe people had most likely become husband and wife back then.

There was a sense of determination.

As well as the two-way teleportation function attached to these two accessories, they were most likely used for ward rounds.

Tina said gently, “I should have given you this ring long ago, but Father never agreed. It was not until what happened last night that I finally convinced him… Now, I’ll give it to you.”

She took out the ring and pulled Kang De’s left hand. She looked at the Proof of Star Authority on his ring finger and pursed her lips. Then, she held her other hand and slowly put the jade ring on his ring finger.

As if she had completed a very impressive job, she exhaled with a satisfied expression.

“Take a seat.”

She took Kang De’s hand and gently touched it. Tina stood in front of him with a serious and gentle expression.

Kang De watched her long eyelashes tremble. Those blue eyes were filled with gentleness, and her beautiful face was intoxicating. The girl then raised her head and looked at her. Her smile was beautiful and mellow as she smiled and said, “Kang De, you have to protect yourself when you go out in the future. Don’t let other women casually wear rings anymore, okay?”

“…Oh.”

He felt guilty and afraid.

He looked at the ring on his other hand and saw the overlapping changes in space with the Fire Thief’s vision. It was endless like a kaleidoscope, and there was a mysterious power stored inside, unfamiliar and vast.

Tina had said that this set of accessories was made by a master from Cathay and Goethe. This ring probably contained the strength and wisdom of the East.

He said softly, “What’s the name of the ring?”

...

“A pair.” Tina pointed at the pendant on her chest. “The name of this necklace is Eternal Peace Protection. As for yours, the name is…”

She pronounced it in Chinese, or rather, the Cathayan language.

“—Everlasting Guardian.”

The light that was as gentle as the galaxy rose and circled, flowing and surging like a bridge of stars. It was placed between Kang De and Tina. His heart was filled with a thousand knots, and an invisible and material force wrapped around and around it. In an instant, an inexplicable sense of familiarity arose in Kang De’s heart. He had felt this feeling before.

Yes, the Holy Seal Islands, the Knighting Ceremony. At that time, their minds converged, and the starry sky they saw at that time.

Fire Thief, the Knighting Ceremony, Tina, the Everlasting Guardian, and the Eternal Peace Protection. What was the connection?

“Wearing this ring, concluding the ritual, and obtaining approval, you’ll be the new Everlasting Guardian. Although the meaning of this title has already been buried in time with ancient books, it’s not a bad thing, right?”

Everlasting Guardian.

Kang De was not surprised by this name. Even in another world, the meaning contained in this word would not change, nor would it be cold.

Tina looked at him and smiled like a flower.

Their hearts continued to approach.

...

The girl held his hand tightly and said softly, “From now on, Kang De, you’ve completely entered my world. Everything about me will open to you…”

She completely treated Sword Saint Snowfall, who was sitting at the side eating food, as nothing.

Moreover, she leaned over slightly and said gently in Kang De’s ear, “In the future, you can teleport to my side at any time.”

Her shy, happy, and bold gaze completely betrayed some of her goals.

Moreover, Kang De understood instantly.

In fact, according to his vast experience, he thought of more than 30 ways to play in a few seconds.

At this moment, his mind crossed the concept of time and resonated with the people hundreds of years ago. Kang De’s soul swam with the masters hundreds of years ago and praised.

The masters who designed this set of functional accessories must know life very well.

Sword Saint Snowfall, who was sitting on the sofa eating food, had already changed her fifth posture.

Although Hillmelia was as cold as an iceberg and her chassis was very stable, she indeed looked relatively frustrated now. She almost rolled her eyes as her niece and Kang De stuffed a large number of hard and smelly objects into her mouth—of course, it was the taste of watching them be affectionate.

He had already put on the ring. Kang De thought of serious matters and said, “There’s something…”

At this moment, Hillmelia looked out of the door. In the next moment, the door was pushed open. A fiery red figure rushed in and pulled Kang De back. The strong smell of alcohol assaulted her face.

The gorilla’s face was red as she held an open bottle of wine. Her eyes were covered in a hazy fog as she almost rushed into Kang De’s arms. She lay in his arms and looked up at him.

Moreover, she pouted.

Then, she looked at Kang De and suddenly smiled mysteriously.

“Heh, hehehehe, hehehehehe…”

That smile became more and more twisted and ridiculous. It was both stupid and silly as if she had thought of something happy. She even slowly stretched out her hand to touch Kang De’s face, “Kang De…”

This cry was also cute and sweet, and it was not as energetic as before.

Kang De was puzzled. “You drank with Cassandra?”

“Stronger, bolder! It’s really useful!”

The gorilla replied like this. Then, she stretched out her arm and hooked Kang De’s arm. With the help of the alcohol, she chuckled, “We, we, let’s go out and play…”

Kang De said in surprise, “Now?”

“Yes… yes.”

“…Why do you want to go out and play?”

“Because… because…” The gorilla tilted its head and thought for a moment.

In fact, ever since she took the first sip of wine, Cassandra’s “brilliant plan” had already begun to twist. This was because after the gorilla took the first sip to strengthen her courage, she felt that it was unstable, so she took a second sip, then a third… She drank half a bottle just like that and was already in a state.

She finally remembered the main thought and raised the wine bottle in her hand. “Because… because I want you to drink.”

Kang De’s expression became even more subtle, “…Why?”

Back on the Holy Seal Islands, Kang De’s alcohol consumption was strictly controlled by the gorilla.

Even the other animals did not drink much.

The reason was very simple. Ever since Kang De, who could travel back and forth to the white fog world, took out the alcohol from Earth, the magical animals seemed to have gone crazy. The vigilance, alienation, and scrutiny they had first met quickly dissipated. These cold animals became bootlickers. That night, they were drunk and the group of animals was in chaos.

This shocked the gorilla, who had never come into contact with alcohol, and from then on, it became wary of alcohol. Not only did it not let the magical animals drink wildly, but it also did not allow Kang De to drink too much. Now, why…

The gorilla’s cheeks were floating with a pink blush, making her fair face even more tempting. She burped and chuckled foolishly, “Because I want to kiss you.”

Immediately after, an even louder burp blurted out. Even the gorilla trembled. Before the confused Kang De and Tina could recover, the Crimson Queen’s body swayed. With a mysterious smile that said, “I’m done” and a sweet and happy fantasy, her body went limp and she fell into Kang De’s arms.

She fell asleep.

“…”

“…”

“…”

The three people in the room looked at each other.

Tina gritted her teeth and felt a little amused. She shook her head. “This fool.”

Kang De dragged the gorilla’s body. In her sleep, the gorilla’s limbs automatically wrapped around him and hung on his body like an octopus, talking in a daze.

Hillmelia said, “…There are two guys leaving sneakily in the corridor. From the footsteps and breathing, it should be those two Belloran. Should we stop them?”

Kang De said in a subtle tone, “I’m afraid the gorilla was instigated by them… Forget it, forget it.”

Sword Saint Snowfall walked out of the door.

“Hey, where are you going?”

Hillmelia did not turn around and waved her hand. “Why? Do you want me to stay?”

Kang De wanted to say something, but Tina pulled him back.

The two of them watched Sword Saint Snowfall close the door and leave. Kang De was still puzzled, “…You’re leaving just like that?”

The efficiency of the Incandescent Sword Saint had been shocking these few days. She could move a few thousand watts and was very swaying. Why did she run away today?

“Aunt is also human.”

Tina looked at the closed door and said faintly.

Kang De asked curiously, “Ah?”

The princess turned around and a gentle smile appeared again. She said gently, “Moreover, Aunt believes you. Could it be that in this situation, there’s nothing you can do to me?”

Kang De was stunned.

“Alright, move this drunk fool to the bed.” Tina pursed her lips and smiled. “I’ll change into my pajamas. It’s getting late and it’s time to sleep. If there’s anything, let’s lie down and talk.”
