Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds - Chapter 382
382 Hehehe
“Big Gold Hair is here.”
The gorilla’s voice revealed her displeasure.
Big Gold Hair, of course, meant Tina.
It was the gorilla’s nickname for Tina… Hmm, let’s put it this way.
Her “feud” with Tina could be traced back to the time of the Holy Seal Islands.
Before the Penguin arrived, Kang De had spent nearly a year alone on the Holy Seal Islands. When he first transmigrated from Earth to this island, he was lonely, pitiful, and helpless.
In a routine exploration, he unintentionally saved the gorilla who was surrounded by the black beasts. The man and gorilla communicated and helped each other in a half-curious and half-happy mood and formed their initial friendship.
Then, the gorilla called the other magical animals on the island and let Kang De have a home in the other world.
Many animals appeared in Kang De’s life, but the person who had the closest relationship with him was always the gorilla. She accompanied him and acted as a pillow, a bodyguard, an old maid, and so on.
It could be said that in the range of the other world, the gorilla was first.
She would first get to know Kang De and be friends with him. She would first share his secrets and sleep with him first. Everything was first done through the gorilla. In the range of the other world, she was Kang De’s first contact.
As everyone knew, there was an irreconcilable huge difference and innate conflict between the first and the fallen.
Tina’s appearance broke the gorilla’s stable daily life.
In the love comedy of the Holy Seal Islands, the gorilla that arrived first retreated step by step. In just a few days, Miss Gorilla Platinum felt an unprecedented huge danger.
Be it Kang De and Tina’s clearly similar appearance, Kang De’s expression and gaze when he looked at Tina, or the two of them’s unobstructed and extremely harmonious communication, it made the gorilla feel uneasy, jealous, and an inexplicable but precise sense of danger.
After all, she had once seen many very politely dressed human females on Kang De’s computer and tablet. She had also seen many little people in the cabinet in his room. Although she did not know why these women were so hot, she understood that Kang De liked them very much.
Tina was prettier, fairer, and larger than these women.
Moreover, it was alive, not a small piece of paper or a little person.
A sense of danger.
The young and ignorant gorilla did not know what this feeling was. After all, she only had her beast’s instinct and ignorant thinking method at that time. However, beasts also had emotions and a desire to monopolize. They would also be jealous and angry, and their emotions would be more direct.
Cats, dogs, and gorillas were naturally the same.
Ever since the Holy Seal Islands, her vigilance and hostility towards Tina had been very obvious. Later on, she secretly followed Kang De to the continent and transformed into a human. At that stage, her confidence increased slightly. After all, she also had that, that, and that. It was not inferior to the small piece of paper in Kang De’s computer.
However, after reuniting with Kang De, she was surprised to discover that her interaction with him was still the same. It was clearly the first time she had a human body and could be with him in a brand-new posture. It was clearly like a dream, but Kang De’s attitude was a little wrong no matter how she looked at it.
After all, the gorilla looked like it. If she was more agile, she should be able to summarize the key to the problem.
She wanted to sleep with Kang De, but he still treated her as a gorilla.
In particular, the earth-shattering kiss on the city wall of Red Maple City two days ago made the entire city cheer and countless people remember it forever. They asked the great painter to keep it at the end of the pen and let the epics and ballads spread it. It even made the great Twilight Phoenix King leave miserably. To the gorilla, this kiss was no different from an axe slashing down from above, splitting open a new world and opening its aperture.
What Big Gold Hair did, she did too.
If Big Gold Hair could not do it, she could.
Jealousy, sourness, and instinctive impulse made the gorilla scratch her heart and lungs. It was restless. She wanted to tie Kang De up and return to the Holy Seal Islands. She wanted to do everything she could before Big Gold Hair, but her animal intuition told her that Kang De would definitely be angry if she did this.
Just as she was in a dilemma and hesitating, the gorilla, who was sighing in the small garden, saw Horus sitting beside the fountain drinking gasoline.
The Transformer stretched out its sinful black hand to her and silently hooked it.
—Come here.
Then, the gorilla and robot checked the fountain for a long time.
The gorilla received the love suggestion given by the Transformer with a steel body.
The other party told her about many successes and failures in a magnetic and reliable tone. There was winter, school, midsummer, small town, and tomorrow. It was so knowledgeable that the gorilla did not know where it learned these stories as if it had personally experienced them.
In short, Horus had prepared a plan for her, drawn up rules, determined the concept of a long struggle, and clarified the central idea of the operation—to let Father reverse his impression of the gorilla.
This was enough.
The gorilla indeed did not know much about this. She only felt that she did not want Kang De to be snatched away by Big Gold Hair.
“I’ll write a warranty.”
This was what the iron son said. His words were very strange, but his tone was very certain.
Coupled with that righteous leader’s face, it was very convincing.
As it turned out, Horus’s careful suggestion seemed to be very useful. The gorilla discovered that if she was still as carefree as before, Kang De would naturally play with her. However, if she imitated Tina and even the maid in the palace, Kang De would be a little… different.
The good news was that she was very good at imitating.
The better news was that the reliable Transformer had stored some images and information in the gorilla’s tablet. Although it was still young, she could figure out from time to time and beat Big Gold Hair one day.
Kang De, who did not know what had happened at all, was a little red.
This was because the gorilla had still been very gorilla-like in the past two days, but sometimes…
She was relatively charming.
Just like now.
After saying unhappily that Big Gold Hair was here, she seemed to have thought of something and immediately changed her face. She held the corner of his shirt with both hands and raised her head slightly to look up at herself. In order to achieve this effect, the gorilla was already in a half-squat state. She was really a little tall.
Her large eyes blinked.
Moreover, her body was very close and he squeezed over. Her white robe was light and soft.
Ah, it was like a pillow.
“You’re not allowed to kiss her!” The gorilla shook the corner of Kang De’s shirt slightly, “Please!”
“…Pfft.”
In the end, his acting skills were a little too strong. Kang De accidentally laughed and finally broke free from the subtle atmosphere from before. He took the initiative again and casually rubbed the gorilla’s head.
“Don’t worry, I won’t.”
“Don’t touch my head!”
He did not expect the gorilla, who had always enjoyed this in the past, to actually gently push Kang De’s hand away this time and complain, “You can’t touch a girl’s hair casually!”
Then, she ran out in a hurry.
Kang De looked confused.
Girl?
After leaving the room, the maids in the corridor bowed.
Although their movements were impeccable, the red tide that surged to their faces from excitement and their autumn eyes that were rippling with water completely exposed their excited mood. At least until now, Kang De was the god of the human world in Red Maple City.
In the entire palace, be it the butler, the servants, or even the guards and officials, their attitude towards him was like this. Those who came from slightly better backgrounds and had received a good education respected and were extremely sincere to him. Those who came from bad backgrounds and had never seen the world did not even dare to breathe loudly.
He had seen a maid who had forcefully fainted yesterday.
The report after that was that he was so nervous that he forgot to breathe.
This was not a good thing.
Instead, it made Kang De feel restrained and lonely.
Why could they not be like Hong San…
“Good morning, Father.”
The maids bowed 90 degrees and walked into the courtyard. From the corner of his eye, he saw that they had been maintaining this posture. Kang De shook his head and greeted Horus, who had stopped in the courtyard.
“Morning.”
Kang De patted the hood of the Hummer and casually asked, “I keep feeling that there’s something wrong with the gorilla these past two days. Do you have any clues?”
“I roughly know the reason.”
“What?”
“You kissed the princess in front of her.”
“…I was forced!”
“I’ve taken a closer look. Before Miss Gorilla pulled you away, you were about to stick out your tongue.”
“Nonsense—so you really filmed it!”
“No.”
“You clearly took it! You’ve been mocking me! I’ve tolerated you for a long time!”
“Father, is this the time to talk about this?”
“—You’re still using this sentence to fool me! Why? Are you fighting the elves or the army now? Why can’t you say this now?”
“Hello, Father, no. Although we’re not fighting the elves or fighting the army now, I have to remind you that Miss Gorilla, who quickly ran to the reception room earlier, has already been alone with Princess Tina for at least three minutes. Let’s talk about the recording.”
“—Tsk!”
His father ran.
The Transformer stayed behind, sighed, and muttered to himself.
“As expected, after the battle, Father’s head fell off. Although he’s releasing the nervousness and pressure from before… it’s a little fun.”
Kang De ran to the reception room.
His current residence was a portion of the area drawn by the Goethe Palace. It was equivalent to drawing an independent residence from the palace. It could be seen how polite Tedrell was. This place was really quite large.
He crossed the courtyard to the front hall and entered the reception room. Tina sat in a wide chair with steaming tea in front of her, but the girl looked at the rising fog in a daze.
Kang De jumped in and looked around. There was no one. The gorilla was not around.
The intrusion shocked the princess. Tina jumped up like a frightened rabbit.
Her golden hair scattered a flowing light.
Kang De subconsciously said, “Where’s the gorilla?”
Tina was also stunned. “Ah?”
There was a knock on the door from the side. He turned around and saw the gorilla leaning against the door and looking at the two people in the room.
“I know you have something to say, so I won’t listen from the side.”
The gorilla snorted and said such understanding words lightly.
However, she still subconsciously pouted, as if she was saying something she did not mean it.
However, Master Iron’s words still lingered in her ears.
—To Father, the more obedient and sensible you are, the more you have sacrificed yourself, the more he will remember it in his heart and return it several times over. Believe me, I’ll write a guarantee.
Her gaze turned from Kang De to Tina. She bared her teeth and said fiercely, “Don’t do anything you shouldn’t! Otherwise, I’ll lick Kang De a hundred times in front of you!”
Then, he turned around and ran away.
He did not give the two of them a chance to speak.
A few seconds later, Kang De muttered, “Then… she didn’t come in just now?”
Tina’s tone also sounded a little like she was sleepwalking. “No, no… what’s wrong?”
Kang De shook his head and said nothing.
He turned around and looked at Tina.
The atmosphere was silent.
That familiar face was in front of him. After a long separation, he and Tina finally met again. Time seemed to have returned to the past as if he had returned to that sunny day on the Holy Seal Islands. Tina had been kidnapped by the magical animals and appeared in front of him defenselessly.
Kang De communicated with this girl who was like a painting in a holy posture and without any distracting thoughts.
If there was a language barrier, he would use gestures and smiles.
From unfamiliarity to slowly understanding, from the Knighting Ceremony to an invitation to be comrades.
It was originally a romantic story of encountering the princess, just like in novels. He drifted in another world, encountered the beautiful princess, formed a fate, and lived a happy life.
However, this ended on a bloody night in Glory Sand. Sabers flashed and swords collided, and they parted in life and death. From then on, their fates were completely changed and they were involved in a huge war.
They were reunited under the guidance of fate.
When they met again, it was already very different from the Holy Seal Islands.
The brave but young princess was no longer naive. The lonely transmigrator who yearned for a new life had already walked his own path. Everyone had grown and appeared in front of each other in a more mature manner.
However, this growth was accompanied by blood, tears, and unforgettable pain.
The other party’s innocent appearance back then only existed in each other’s memories.
Now, when their eyes met, they already had mixed feelings and their hearts surged.
It was as if a long, long time had passed.
‘It’s really been a long time, Tina.’
This was the first normal and separate meeting in the past few days.
The previous few meetings were chaotic, busy, and noisy. Moreover, Tina always lowered her head and was as shy as a little quail, as if the kiss that day had already used up all the courage in her life.
He carefully sized up the girl close at hand.
She had indeed lost a lot of weight. Compared to her impression, she had lost a little weight. After all, to her, the pressure of what had happened in the past few months was really too heavy.
Her beautiful face still had a shocking charm. The clearer it was, the more beautiful and delicate she looked.
However, her beautiful face was not covered in makeup, and her beautiful hair was not tied up or styled. It was completely different from the beautiful and noble hairstyle in her memory. She was wearing a white dress with a high collar and long sleeves. The skirt fell to the ground and she was even wearing gloves. Her entire body could be said to be tightly wrapped and simply too conservative.
A slightly wide dress covered the curves of her body and her slender waist and towering peaks. If not for Kang De personally measuring her with his body two days ago, he would have thought that she had shrunk.
He had heard that girls’ dressing was closely related to their hearts, situation, partner, emotions, and so on. Tina was actually dressed like a nun this time. What was going on…
Kang De thought for a moment and saw the careful, timid, shy, and conflicted gaze Tina quietly glanced over. He thought of his experience in the past two days and realized something.
His eyes softened and he did not mention this. When he discovered that the girl’s hands were behind her back, as if she was hiding something, he chuckled and said, “What are you holding?”
“Huh?”
Tina had been paying attention to Kang De’s expression. Seeing that he did not care much about her outfit, she was relieved and a little uncomfortable. Her mood was very complicated and conflicted. When she heard Kang De’s question, she panicked and subconsciously took out the thing hidden behind her. “This… this…”
The long wooden handle curved in a just right arc. Its surface was like jade and held the handle. The metal that emitted a cold aura was branded with mysterious rune patterns, and the sharp blade revealed a cold intent.
This was clearly an axe.
—D*mn!
She was dressed like a nun and had a calm heart. It was not very good for the noble princess to bring a battle axe to visit her lover!
Kang De took a step back in fear. Tina was flustered, but she was so frightened that she hid the axe back. However, she felt that it was not good and wanted to explain. Back and forth, she was so stupid that she was flustered and speechless and almost cried.
“…Calm down, calm down.”
Kang De said, “What’s this?”
Tina panted a few times. The size of her chest even made such a figureless shirt tremble a few times before saying, “Your, your axe. I picked it up from Glory Sand…”
She whispered, “I… I’ll return it to you…”
Only then did Kang De remember the past of Glory Sand. In his last battle with Lost, he had been cursed. In the last confrontation, he extracted and destroyed all the items from Earth. He injected all the elements into the fire axe and cut off Lost’s head. He threw it to the ground, aimed his middle finger at the sky, and returned to the white fog world to wait for death.
Then, there was hope.
Tina had picked up this axe…
No wonder her new nickname was Princess Battle Axe…
He took the axe, and the blade trembled slightly on its own. The Fire Thief sensed a familiar rhythm. It was indeed something he had enchanted. Kang De thought for a moment and returned the axe, “I’ll give it to you. It’s commemorative to me, so it’s valuable… It’s the same for you, right?”
When he thought that Kang De was already dead, this axe was probably the only token that had accompanied Tina during those difficult years. In that case, he would give it to her.
Tina subconsciously said, “Ah, thank you!”
Then, he took the axe and held it tightly.
Kang De smiled and said, “As long as you like it.”
“…”
“…”
After such a conversation and actions were done, he felt that it was subtle.
The two of them looked at each other and suddenly laughed at the same time.
“Seriously…”
Now that Tina was smiling, she revealed her innocent appearance that day. The girl said coquettishly, “Who gives girls such a thing…”
However, the only person who could do such a thing with him was Kang De.
Unknowingly, the relationship between the two of them, which had become complicated because of their long separation and the interests of many countries, had become slightly more normal. At the very least, he could already smile sincerely.
“…Sit down first. Let’s sit down and talk.”
After this smile, the two of them became much more natural. Then, they sat down side by side on the sofa bench. The girl’s warm body leaned over slightly, and Kang De could feel a little heat.
However, because of the axe earlier, Tina’s heart was a little chaotic. She did not have any scruples about her posture when she sat down, so her body leaned back slightly on the soft seat. Even the skirt of her conservative long dress was gently raised, revealing an exquisite cowhide boot and a small leg.
Kang De’s gaze inadvertently swept past and captured that moment.
The hem of the skirt rose slightly, and what should have been revealed was the girl’s smooth calves. However, what Kang De saw was hazy and exquisite fairness. It was not skin, but a light fabric that was attached to her skin. The color of the thin gauze weaved fused with the color of the skin that seeped out, forming a soft and tempting luster.
This was…
…
