Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 383 - 383 Ah!



383 Ah!

That exquisite milky white color entered Kang De’s eyes.

He was slightly stunned. The corner of his skirt gently fell and covered everything again.

Kang De looked away as if nothing had happened and at Tina.

Tina looked back at him.

No one spoke.

Silence.

It was not that he had nothing to say, but there were too many things to say, but he had no clue where to say them.

The two of them were very close and sat almost side by side. The girl’s poetic and picturesque face was right in front of him. Just quietly watching was a rare enjoyment in the world.

Although she did not put on any makeup, it was beautiful enough and even more tempting, because male chauvinists liked women with no makeup—of course, it specifically referred to the kind of girl who could defeat all the girls on the street without makeup.

He looked at the other party’s blue eyes that were like gems and the sky, those long eyelashes, the tall and beautiful nose, and those slightly pale but small and pleasant lips…

Oh, lips…

The electric feeling from two days ago returned.

He still remembered that feeling. When he stuck it to her, there was only shock and even shock in his heart. Tina was so forceful that his teeth knocked into each other and he could feel the slippery cold tears on her face. It was not as comfortable as the book described. Just after he had that thought, things were different.

He could feel the girl hugging him open her cherry lips slightly, then her warm and moist tongue swept across his lips. It was warm but unfamiliar. At that moment, Kang De felt as if he had been struck by lightning. An unprecedented feeling curled up from his lips and his entire body trembled as if he had been electrocuted.

Therefore, when his iron son exposed him previously, he was furious from embarrassment. It was relatively dirty. At that time, he indeed instinctively wanted to stick out his tongue.

Then, he was pulled away by the gorilla.

Although that was the case, the feeling at that time still made his heart sway when he recalled it now.

Especially when he sat quietly here and looked at the girl’s cherry lips close at hand, that deep and strong throbbing appeared in his heart again and swam throughout his body, causing Kang De to have no choice but to admit something.

—Ah, I’m cheap.

Such a silent atmosphere and such a close distance that she could even feel the other party’s breathing. Girls were extremely sensitive to gazes. Tina could tell at a glance where Kang De was looking.

She could guess what he was thinking.

A blush appeared on her face. This was a subconscious reaction, but in the next moment, she seemed to have thought of something. Her shy expression paused for a moment. It was hesitation, even pain.

However, this emotion only lasted for a short moment. The hand on the other side that was holding the sofa tightly slowly relaxed. She lowered her head slightly and revealed a shy and gentle smile. Her warm and soft body was tightly wrapped in a conservative dress and slowly leaned toward Kang De.

—Then she was stopped by a hand.

Kang De slowly pushed Tina upright.

The princess looked over in surprise. What greeted him was the other party’s calm and gentle gaze, restraint, calm, and tolerance for seeing through everything.

Tina recalled Kang De’s appearance when she woke up from her coma the first time they met. They were similar, but a little different. The only thing that had not changed was the restraint and friendliness in his gaze. She knew her face and charm, and she also knew that the great thing about a person was not that they could do as they pleased, but they could do but not do anything. He still had an almost paranoid sense of morality, as before.

An unprecedented shame and embarrassment rose in her heart. She was wrapped in tightly wrapped clothes, but at this moment, under Kang De’s calm gaze, Tina even felt that she was not wearing anything. The secret and conflict in her heart had been completely seen through. She felt that she, who had come with this mood, was so dirty and unclean. Her actions and decisions just now were simply like a shameless joke.

She covered her face and got up, wanting to escape, but her wrist was grabbed. A warm touch seeped into her skin through the thick cloth. The other party clearly did not use any strength, but Tina seemed to have lost all her strength.

She sat back and could only cover her face with her other hand like a quail. She turned on her side and turned to the other side. With her back to Kang De, she said in a sobbing voice, “Don’t look at me! Let me go…”

“Tina, we have to talk…”

“Boohoo, I… am I very cheap?”

“This seems to be something to study… Oh, no, now is not the time to talk about this…”

“I’m sorry, I really can’t do this…”

“—Tina!”

A shout shocked the princess and her crying was forcefully stopped. She widened her beautiful eyes and even forgot to breathe. In the next moment, she burped and covered her mouth in fear.

Kang De sighed, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped her crying face.

Bit by bit, she wiped it gently. Tina did not do anything else. She only looked at him in a daze, like a large doll.

Kang De squatted in front of the princess, put away the handkerchief, and held the girl’s hands.

“What’s better? I chatted with your father for a few minutes yesterday. He asked me if I was used to living in the past two days. I don’t know what Grand Duke Goethe’s usual speech, actions, and habits are, but I felt awkward talking to him. At that time, I replied that it was very good. Actually, it was not very good.”

“I’ve been living in your house for the past two days. It’s quite awkward.”

He held Tina’s small hand and looked up into the princess’s eyes.

“I feel that I’m not Kang De here, but a nuclear weapon that can speak and take care of itself. No, it’s better to say that in the eyes of the people here, I’m like a temperamental god.”

“Some people praise and thank me because I saved Goethe. Some people are in awe and afraid of me because I can defeat elves that the entire Goethe can’t defeat alone.”

“They knew that I was Goethe’s only hope of fighting the elves and needed my help, so they fawned over me, afraid of arousing my dissatisfaction. Therefore, they provided me with the best and did everything carefully, as if I was a temperamental god in the temple.”

“The staff of the palace are like this, the guards are like this, and even…”

“Your father, your brother, and your sister are all like this.”

“I think they definitely don’t know how to face me or communicate with me.”

“I got to know them. I can sense that they’re all very good people. Just like you, they were taught very well by your parents. They have empathy, a sense of responsibility, and love for their families. I think I must have gotten along very well with them, but I didn’t. They acted very close, but they were all accommodating me. They had to consider every word before saying it. This would feel distant and very awkward.”

“I think this is a problem we have to resolve. Some things have to be made clear and resolved. Otherwise, this unequal relationship will usually cause a bad outcome. I know this deeply.”

“I only want to tell you this…”

Kang De reached out and touched Tina’s soft and smooth face.

His expression was very serious.

“Tina, in the beginning, I decided to join your war because of my promise to Cleveland. I wanted to avenge everyone on the Penguin and protect you.”

...

“Then, I witnessed many things in the war.”

“The people who sacrificed themselves in Valentine, the will Nick gave me, the villages I saw slaughtered and razed, the people who could not help but suffer in the city.”

“Then I knew that I joined this war because I pitied those people who had done nothing wrong but were about to suffer. It was because I had the ability to stop it, so I did it.”

“This time, I came all the way from Valentine to Red Maple City because even if a stupid girl knew that the elves were going to besiege Red Maple City, she still left a letter and wanted me to stay out of it. Just like how the captain would rather commit suicide than point his weapon at me, it’s because before Cleveland died, he still advised me not to trust the other Goethe people easily because of him… Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“The reason for interfering in this war is these.”

“Tina, I don’t mean to show my noble virtue or praise my greatness, but I won’t shorten my actions. Be it interfering in this war or saving Goethe, it’s to pay respects to the warriors who are not afraid to fight to the death, it’s to help a strong race. It’s out of repayment and promise to my friend, and it’s pity for wanting to end the war. Also, I want to see your smile again.”

“This is my goal in coming here.”

“Do you understand what I’m saying? Silly girl.”

He gently pinched the girl’s face, which was as tender as tofu.

“I’m not here with evil desires, and I don’t plan to take advantage of such contributions and ask Goethe for anything. I’m not interested in power and wealth, and I don’t need you to offer your body to thank and please me.”

“Because I came here and appeared in front of you to help you protect this country. What I want to see is the first time I saw you. That carefree, innocent, and beautiful smile doesn’t have to be stained by the danger of war and the worry of my country being destroyed. What I want to see is you like that.”

...

“I didn’t continue to carry heavy pressure, guilt, and dilemma and mix my personal emotions with the interests of my country, not knowing what to do. In the end, I wore this grandmother-like outfit and covered myself tightly, afraid that I would expose a little of my flesh and let you mistakenly think that I was here to curry favor, afraid that you would look down on me. However, my heart was still wavering. I wanted to sacrifice myself and help Goethe…”

At this point, Kang De continuously exerted strength in his hand and pinched the girl’s cheek to pull her out. Her beautiful face looked even funnier, but her eyes became more and more aggrieved.

With a soft sound, Kang De let go and his jelly-like smooth cheek bounced back.

Then, he gently flicked Tina’s forehead.

“Don’t underestimate me or yourself, Tina. If a beautiful, dignified, cute, and charming princess with a good figure can pull a figure like me into the country’s camp, the princess who came to seduce me will have to queue from your door to the Holy Emperor.”

His finger scratched the girl’s nose.

“Look, I’m still on your family’s pirate ship, right?”

However, such an excuse still could not make Tina laugh or pout.

The princess only looked at him and slowly smiled, but tears rolled down her face.

“Cunning Kang De…” She muttered, “You might as well simply covet my body…”

“Huh?”

Before he could finish speaking, a warm wind assaulted his face. Kang De felt his half-squatting body being hugged by Tina. Then, an indescribable sense of happiness exploded and a soft touch enveloped his face and head.

Ah!

Ah, ah, ah, ah!

It was only at this moment that Kang De finally felt it from the bottom of his heart, “It’s f*cking worth it to run around killing people day and night in a two-front battle.”

She hugged him very tightly.

He could not breathe.

However, it did not matter.

He was not afraid of feeling uncomfortable.

With a crystal-strengthened body, the lung capacity was quite large.

Therefore, it was fine. Let Tina cry for a while. She was really under too much pressure.

Men had to bear more, right?

Kang De quietly felt the calm moment and the time to wash his face.

After an unknown period of time, Tina stopped crying.

She still hugged Kang De like this.

“Actually, Father, Brother, and Sister have all discovered this problem. Now that the defense and safety of Goethe are all maintained on you alone, we don’t know how to repay you or what you need. Please forgive their thoughts, because everyone knows that fragile one-sided contributions will definitely not last long and will definitely be interfered with by all kinds of factors…”

“Although this is very selfish and utilitarian, Kang De, we indeed need you to preside over Goethe and deter the elves and even the Empire. The job you take is like the guardian of a country, but we don’t know what tribute to offer to the gods…”

—You’ve indeed offered precious sacrifices.

“Because the Gospel Moon War has ended. Kang De, it’s about to end.”

“You told us the reason why you interfered in this war, but for Goethe, we have no choice but to be greedy. We want you to continue to stay and have a solid and inextricable bond. This is because be it a promise, respect, or being touched, even if it’s firm for a moment, there will be a day when it withers…”

Tina hugged Kang De and said softly, “What’s your reason for staying in this country and recognizing Goethe? What can we do to prevent you from being kidnapped by the Empire, the elves, and even Cathay?”

“…I can’t think of it for a moment. I can take my time to think about it.”

Kang De replied in a muffled voice.

Only then did Tina realize that she had been covering Kang De for a long, long time. She exclaimed softly and pulled his head out. The Guardian of Goethe looked as usual. There were traces of saliva at the corner of his mouth.

The princess was first flustered. Looking at his sanctimonious appearance, she could not help but smile.

“Think about it slowly?”

She asked gently.

“That’s right. Even if I’ll get tired of it in the future, even if someone seduces me in the future, that’s a long time later. During the period of time when I’m still kind and approving of Goethe, can’t everyone think of a safe method to get the best of both worlds?”

Kang De sighed, “The premise is that everyone calms down first. If you do this every day and still treat me as a temperamental god, you might as well build a temple for me…”

The princess ignored Kang De’s nagging. She tilted her head, and her golden hair fell from her shoulders. Her high collar and long skirt wrapped her entire body tightly. However, at this moment, the gentleness displayed in the girl’s eyes, coupled with her tightly wrapped clothes, formed a strange temptation.

She said softly, “I’m very stupid. I can only think of one way.”

Kang De casually asked, “What method?”

Tina looked at him, her beautiful smile blooming like a flower.

“Of course… I’ll make you completely fall in love with me.”

The girl’s expression was both serious and shining with beautiful emotions that were as bright as the sun. The girl’s poetic feelings and picturesque love bloomed at this moment.

Kang De was struck by the straight ball.

For a moment, his heart skipped a beat and he even forgot to speak.

Tina said gently, “Everyone in the world knows that you’re my fiancé. They all think that you’re risking your life for love. In the eyes of many Goethe people, as long as I marry you, all the problems won’t be a problem. However, only we know that the engagement is fake and I did a stupid thing. What I know is that my relationship with Kang De is far from love.”

“Therefore, Kang De is actually unwilling to marry me. That’s a very difficult thing.”

“Moreover, it just so happens that I’m unwilling to get married like this.”

“Even I can dream. I want to have a husband who loves me. This is the wish of the little girl, Tina. I want a husband who can help me protect Goethe. This is Princess Tina’s determination. I’ve known since I was young that it’s almost impossible to have a husband who can satisfy both requirements at the same time. Otherwise, Eldest Sister and Second Sister wouldn’t have never married, but…”

She looked at Kang De and smiled. “Isn’t there one in front of you?”

“Kang De, not only did you protect my country, but you also protected my dream. Then, there’s only one answer… As long as I make you fall in love with me, all the problems will be solved.”

She held Kang De’s hand instead, her smile gentle and firm.

“Although I don’t have much experience, I’ll work hard to do it. Please wait patiently. It won’t be long.”

Kang De was still in a huge shock.

The situation was completely reversed.

Previously, he had completely grasped the situation and forcefully broken Tina’s obsession, taking a solid step towards opening the thick barrier between him and Goethe. However, when Tina’s peak pressed down, the rhythm was no longer controlled by him, so now, he could not say a word.

No!

He could not do this!

From Tina’s smile, he felt a sense of danger, as if the girl in front of him had awakened to some impressive thought and pushed open an impressive door.

He could not be passive!

He snorted and revealed a calm and handsome smile.

“Is that so? Then I’ll wait and see.”

He stood up as if nothing had happened.

Tina stood up too. Her expression, actions, state, and even temperament were no longer reserved and evasive. Instead, she was generous and even a little mischievous.

She had completely gotten over the trauma.

“The weather is not bad today. The elemental concentration in the sky of Red Maple City has already returned to normal. Kang De, do you want to go out for a walk? This is my house. I haven’t brought you around.”

“…Alright.”

The girl went straight to the point, and Kang De could not handle it. He felt that he could not continue like this, so he thought of a counterattack. He glanced at Tina’s conservative outfit which was like a nun’s.

Then, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Aren’t you going to change your clothes before this?”

Tina thought for a moment and spun on the spot, then shook her head. “No, I’m not changing. I think this outfit is quite good—Kang De, if you want to see what I’m wearing, I’ll wear it for you to see alone, okay?”

—Hey! Mouth! Say it! Tell her no! I’m a pure and upright person!

—Don’t laugh! My mouth! The muscles on my face! Why did you betray me?!

At this moment, Tina blushed and leaned over. She whispered in Kang De’s ear, “Kang De is right. I came over in all my clothes today and didn’t show any of them. I just don’t want you to think that I’m here to seduce you and don’t want you to underestimate me, but I do want to thank you and get close to you. It’s not repayment, but… I like it very much, just very much, so…”

Her red lips parted.

“I’m wearing the clothes Kang De gave me on the island…”

Her cheeks were red and her bright eyes gathered. She pinched her dress with her right hand and gently pulled it up. The dress reached the ground. This action only pulled it up a little, revealing a portion of her calf on her boot.

It was indeed stockings made of modern technology. The milky white light fabric wrapped around her slender calves, emitting a hazy and charming luster that made people’s imaginations run wild.

Tina whispered, “Kang De, do you want to take a look?”
