In the huge central imperial city, apart from the majestic Imperial Palace, the Duke Carlos Palace occupies the most expansive area.

It is said that the family of the Grand Duke Carlos is one of the nobles with the longest inheritance in the empire, dating back to the distant earth era. Not only did it not decline, but it rose to a higher level. Its power and wealth made it difficult for countless imperial nobles to match, and it was a well-deserved top giant.

This is also the key for Carlos to fight with Jing Sui for a whole book, his power is indeed too powerful!

However, Grand Duke Ji Ting does not belong to Carlos' faction. He is not willing to participate in the struggle between Carlos and Jing Sui, so Ji Ling and Carlos do not have many intersections, so this Duke's mansion, Ling did not have it in the last century. been here.

Although he is also called Uncle Carlos, it is probably equivalent to an ordinary familiar elder.

Ji Ling looked curiously at the magnificent gate of the Duke's Mansion in front of him, and got down from the car with a calm mind.

Since Carlos dared to invite him openly, naturally he would not kill him. He must be sent back intact. This is the real reason why Ji Ling dared to accept the invitation.

It won't die anyway, so what's there to be afraid of?

Butler Anderson greeted Ji Ling respectfully. He had already been instructed by His Excellency the Duke to take good care of Ji Ling, treat him like the master here, and not make him feel unhappy at all.

It was the first time that His Excellency the Duke valued a person like this. Even though Anderson was puzzled and didn't understand what was worth such serious treatment by His Excellency the Duke, he still strictly followed the order.

Anderson took Ji Ling to the building where His Excellency the Duke lives and said respectfully, "Your Excellency the Duke has something to do for the time being. You can rest here and wait for a while."

Ji Ling looked at the lush and beautiful garden in front of him, surrounded by all kinds of rare plants and flowers. Deep in the boulevard was a retro three-story European-style building, which inexplicably had a sense of historical precipitation.

Compared with the steel jungle that is full of science fiction in the interstellar era, coming here, it makes people feel like they have traveled through time.

Hey, didn't expect Carlos to be such a nostalgic person.

Ji Ling nodded and said, "Okay."

Anderson instructed the maids and servants at home to prepare exquisite refreshments for Ji Ling, and instructed everyone to serve Ji Ling well before turning around and leaving.

Ji Ling turned around here, sniffing the fragrance of the flowers, looking up at the blue sky, what a beautiful scenery.

He is appreciating here, but he does not know that others are also appreciating him.

The servants of the Duke's Mansion watched curiously at the elf-like beautiful young man walking among the green colors. This is the famous playboy Ji Ling, the precious only son of Grand Duke Ji Ting. Legend has it that he is domineering and arrogant. It looks like this, when don't do bad things, it looks so peaceful...

Therefore, those who are not good-looking are not necessarily bad people, and those who are good-looking are not necessarily good people. You can't judge people by their appearance!

And no one thought that His Excellency the Duke liked to spoil him so much that he even let him come here.

You must know that the Duke's Mansion is huge and has many areas, but this area where Carlos lives daily is a forbidden area.

Aside from the occasional meeting with his confidants in the study, Carlos had never let anyone else set foot here, let alone a playboy to wander and move around at will.

This was the first time the servants saw His Excellency the Duke entertaining guests here. Ji Ling's speciality was self-evident, so everyone respected him and did not dare to slack off.

Ji Ling didn't know what the servants were thinking. As he walked, he began to think about how to get clues here. It is better to see if he can find something before Carlos returns.

So Ji Ling turned around and entered the house.

The materials used in this building are not all kinds of common metals, but mainly rare stones and precious woods. You must know that in the interstellar era, these materials are far more expensive than metals.

In the wide hall, various furnishings are displayed around, each of which is extremely extraordinary.

Understated luxury is everywhere.

Ji Ling sighed in admiration when he saw it, but he didn't come to appreciate how rich Carlos was today. His purpose was to see if there was any clue of rebirth in Carlos' home, so he didn't stop in the hall, just walked up the spiral staircase, and when came to the second floor, saw a thick solid wood door at the end of the corridor, so was ready to go over and take a look.

However, before he could get close, he was stopped by a servant who bowed respectfully and said, "This is the study of Your Excellency the Duke, you can't go in."

Ji Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, so you can't go in here? !

Didn't he wander around here for a long time just to see where there was something unusual? Seeing the nervous appearance of the servant, he knew that this study would never allow anyone to enter casually, so he stopped him. The study room...it's usually a secret place, the more you don't let him go, the more he wants to go in!

That's it!

Ji Ling immediately showed a displeased expression and said coldly, "Get out of the way, how dare you stop me."

The servant complained a lot, he really didn't want to stop Ji Ling, Ji Ling is not something he can offend, but if someone enters the Duke's study room at will, he is also a dead end, so he begged in a low voice: "Please forgive me. You really can't go in here."

"Go away." Ji Ling kicked the servant away and pushed open the door without hesitation.

The servant fell to the ground and saw Ji Ling swagger into the Duke's study. His face was pale and frightened. He finally got up from the ground, turned around and rushed out anxiously. He was out of control, so he could only tell Anderson. It's grown up!

Ji Ling walked in and saw the whole wall-high bookcase directly opposite at a glance. He looked around, and then went straight to the large desk in front of him. This should be where Carlos worked.

Ji Ling directly observed everything on the table carefully, then opened the drawer and flipped through it, flipping through the letters and papers in a mess, as if he didn't care what would happen if he was discovered.

But soon Ji Ling looked disappointed.

Although there are some important things here, such as letters between Carlos and other nobles, and accounts of some properties under his name, there is nothing related to rebirth... But on second thought, Carlos is really reborn. , probably wouldn't have nothing to write a diary to record the mental journey of his rebirth, right? Therefore, it may not be easy to see the clues from here.

Ji Ling turned Carlos's desk upside down and found nothing, then turned to look at the bookshelf behind him, raised his eyebrows, moved the ladder next to him and climbed up.

The system couldn't stand it anymore and said: [I suggest you don't do this. Have you considered the consequences of doing this? 】

Ji Ling snorted coldly, they are still fighting!

And of course he thought about the consequences of doing so, he didn't need a system reminder, he just wanted to see how far Carlos would tolerate him.

Ji Ling frowned with a thoughtful look on his face.

After being exiled in the last life, he accidentally encountered Carlos who was chased and killed by Jing Sui and Brandon. He saved Carlos once and hid him in his home out of the psychology of saving his life. When Carlos left him, he said something to him: In return, I will do one thing for you.

At that time, Ji Ling didn't believe Carlos' words at all, and didn't think he would really repay him, so he didn't take it seriously, but it didn't take long to learn the news of Ning Yu's kidnapping.

This is something that didn't happen in the original book, and it's the only thing in the last life that was out of the main plot.

This shouldn't have happened.

Ji Ling was very flustered at the time. After calming down, he suddenly thought that when Carlos was leaving, he said he would do one thing for him, wouldn't he just help him deal with Ning Yu? Was it Carlos who kidnapped Ning Yu?

Ji Ling tentatively asked Carlos about this matter with the feeling of a blind cat hitting a mouse, and Carlos admitted it without hesitation!

Ji Ling was shocked at that time. Carlos actually wanted to help him kill Ning Yu in order to repay him, but he didn't ask for it at all. Do you want to make up your own mind? I feel like I've been slapped with blood...

But Ji Ling soon realized that things might not be that simple. Carlos always had a clear purpose in doing things. He kidnapped Ning Yu not so much to help himself, but to deal with Jing Sui. In this way, he avenged Jing Sui and achieved his own destiny. Purpose, and 'repaying' himself by the way, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

In the face of this kind of change, of course Ji Ling couldn't let Ning Yu die, so he simply took the plan and proposed to Carlos to see Ning Yu in person, pretending to vent his anger, but in fact it was to create a chance for Ning Yu to escape.

Looking back now, maybe the main purpose of Carlos doing that was to deal with Jing Sui, but in fact... maybe there are very few reasons, because of the factor of rewarding himself?

If Carlos was going to kill Ning Yu for himself in the last life, then this life ahead of schedule to help him kill Ning Yu, it seems to make sense...

This thought made Ji Ling suspicious. He always felt that Carlos couldn't be such a person who was 'repaying gratitude', but there was really no other suitable reason to explain Carlos's every move.

Moreover, Carlos is too deep in his mind, and his emotions and anger are indistinguishable. He is not like Brandon. Brandon is an upright soldier. He is upright and upright. Those he looks up to are lifted to the sky, and those he looks down on step into the ground. To hide one's likes and dislikes towards a person.

Carlos never wrote any emotions on his face, and his every move was incomprehensible.

Ji Ling couldn't figure out what kind of behavior the reborn Carlos might do.

He absentmindedly looked at Carlos's bookshelf, flipping through it, revealing an unexpected look. He didn't expect that Carlos would have the habit of collecting ancient books, and his hobbies were so extensive... He actually saw several different versions on the bookshelf. the bible! There are also several simplified Chinese characters books!

Ji Ling held the book and sighed with emotion. This feeling is probably equivalent to seeing oracle bone inscriptions and hieroglyphs at home in modern times...

And the content of the book is also very interesting. There is a book with simplified Chinese characters that Ji Ling can just understand. It is actually a treatise describing the history of human beings after they left the earth. Amazed expression.

The worldview of this book is too realistic. Even the details are so detailed that it is like a real world.

Fortunately, he didn't stay here for long, and he was going home eventually. But for the people living in this world, this world is completely real...

True and false, false and true, who can say so clearly?

At this moment, slightly hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor outside.

Ji Ling raised his head and saw Carlos walking over surrounded by servants. He seemed to have just gotten the news and rushed back from outside, but his expression was still calm, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Carlos looked up at the young man on the ladder, the young man sat there with his legs swaying gently, his golden hair was soft and beautiful in the sunlight, his aqua blue eyes were smart and energetic, and his white fingers were gently pinched. Books with black covers, looking up at him. In fact...he was not sure that Ji Ling would accept his invitation before that, after all, the teenager always seemed a little cautious when facing him.

Fortunately, he is still here.

Carlos looked gentle and smiled: "You are here."

Ji Ling was sitting on the ladder, looking down at Carlos from above, taking advantage of the location, showing the momentum that had been brewing for a long time, raised his eyebrows in displeasure: "I think Uncle Carlos, you didn't really invite me here, I want to come back. home!"

Carloston looked puzzled and frowned: "Why do you say that? But what makes you feel unhappy?"

Ji Ling sounded aggrieved and dissatisfied, and blinked: "I just wanted to come in and find a few books to read to pass the boring time, but your people didn't allow me to come in."

"This is not allowed, that is not allowed..." Ji Ling pouted and snorted coldly, "I wouldn't have come if I knew it earlier."

Carlos was silent for a moment and said, "I see."

Ji Ling stared nervously at Carlos after speaking, what do you know? I'd like to see how you deal with me who rammed into your study! This is your secret place!

Although he suspects that Carlos is reborn, it does not mean that he really dares to act recklessly. After all, Carlos is not the kind of kind and upright person who is cruel, cruel and moody. I want to test Carlos' attitude, and I am afraid that excessive force will cause serious consequences. This mood is almost like walking a tightrope...

Ji Ling's heart was pounding.

Seeing Carlos turn his head to face Anderson next to him, his eyes became cold, and he said slowly: "I told you to treat Ji Ling as the master here, and you can't make him feel unhappy at all, but what are you doing? made?"

Although Carlos's tone was very calm, Anderson's face turned pale, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and he bent over and trembled: "I'm sorry, we..."

He didn't know how to continue talking halfway through, because he was really unsure of His Excellency the Duke's true intentions. This study was indeed the secret place of His Excellency the Duke, and no one else was allowed to come in. Is His Excellency the Duke subtly blaming himself and others for not watching Ji Ling, or is he really... blaming himself and others for stopping Ji Ling?

It's not stopping, it's not stopping, it seems that no matter what, punishment is inevitable, which makes Anderson nervous and embarrassed.

As for the other servants behind him, at this moment, they were crouching on the ground and trembling in fear.

Carlos looked at Anderson without the slightest warmth in his voice: "Because you have been with me for many years, take the fifty lashes yourself and take it as a warning. As for them..." He turned his eyes to the servant who was kneeling on the ground, He said lightly, "The Duke's Palace doesn't need such a person who can't do anything well. Take them and deal with them."

As his voice fell, the servant who had knelt on the ground to stop Ji Ling suddenly burst into tears and pleaded with tears: "The Duke spares your life, the Duke spares your life, I know it's wrong, I won't do it next time..."

Ji Ling stared blankly at this scene, and was frightened by the abrupt cry of the servant and fell from the ladder. He closed his eyes and let out an exclamation, but he did not feel pain, but fell. He fell into a warm embrace, and a pair of strong arms caught him firmly.

When he opened his eyes, he met Carlos' elegant and profound face.

Carlos hugged the boy, looked at his blank eyes, and said softly, "Be careful."

The man's face was so close to him, Ji Ling could clearly see the worried look in the other's brown pupils, without the slightest falsehood, which made Ji Ling fall into some kind of confusion, as if the man in front of him was really like this Gentle and harmless, no matter what he does, he will not be angry... He subconsciously reached out, touched Carlos' hair, and gently tugged at the brown strands of hair, the texture was slightly harder than his own...

Then his hand stopped in mid-air and froze, lying-trough... What kind of evil did he just touch Carlos' head!

Is this someone who can be touched-headed? Absolutely not! ! !

But something even more frightening happened to Ji Ling...

Carlos was still not angry, but the expression in his eyes was more gentle, with some kind of complicated dark emotions that Ji Ling could not understand, he hooked his lips and made a low magnetic voice: "Any door here is always open to you, If someone dares to stop you next time, just tell me, eh?"

Ji Ling: "..."

Although such a Carlos is very scary, Ji Ling has not forgotten what scared him! Don't just kill people casually, the harmony of a civilized society is the most important thing, can we talk about it if we have something to say? !

Ji Ling struggled for a while, jumped down from Carlos' arms, and said with a straight face, "Uncle Carlos, you are doing this wrong."

Carlos was not unhappy, but followed Ji Ling's words and asked, "What am I doing wrong?"

Ji Ling held his head high, opened his eyes wide, and said aggressively: "They dared to stop me, it must be because no one else is allowed to come in here, and they stopped me because they were afraid of being punished. You didn't tell them beforehand that I could come in, but now Blame them for not doing things well, isn't it wrong for you?"

You figure it out, I'm targeting you! Not for your servant, okay?

Come to me if you have the ability, what kind of man is a servant to blame!

Ji Ling is about to be driven mad by this villain who doesn't play cards according to the routine and kills people at every turn!

Carlos looked at the young man who seemed to be in a state of anger. After a while, he opened his lips and let out a chuckle. He seemed to be in a very happy mood, like coaxing an angry child. You can't blame others for doing something wrong."

Ji Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned his face away and snorted.

If he has endangered other people's lives because of himself, he will not forgive himself. It seems that next time, he will have to pay more attention...

Carlos looked at the arrogant and awkward appearance of the young man in front of him, but his heart was filled with unstoppable tenderness and love. What a kind and good boy, even such a lowly servant was willing to protect his life. He looked arrogant and arrogant, but he was actually He is more sensible and kind than anyone else, and has his own bottom line and persistence.

He was the most beautiful treasure he could ever meet in his life.

Carlos's eyes were deeply filled with love and admiration. He took the boy's hand, lowered his eyes and said warmly, "It's been a long time, are you hungry?"

Ji Ling thought for a while, then nodded.

Carlos smiled and said, "Let's go to dinner, it should be ready."

Said and brought Ji Ling to the restaurant.

The long dining table has been filled with all kinds of exquisite food, and the transparent tableware carved with gemstones exudes a bright light under the soft light, which is really luxurious!

Carlos opened the chair for Ji Ling with his own hands, watched him sit down with a smile, and then sat down beside Ji Ling.

Ji Ling glanced at Carlos quietly, although he was still in shock, but he didn't plan to have a hard time with his stomach. Only when he had enough to eat and drink would he have the strength to continue fighting!

Thinking of this, suddenly turned grief and anger into motivation, and ate happily.

Carlos slowly picked up the red wine in the glass and took a sip, but his eyes always fell on the side of the boy's face, and the dark look in his eyes gradually deepened.

The young man looked like he couldn't get along with food, and his cheeks were puffed up very cutely, like a little hamster hoarding food. No one robbed him again... He seemed to be in a hurry to eat, choked accidentally, and suddenly coughed suddenly, with crystal tears in the corners of his eyes.

Carlos reached out and patted his back lightly, picked up the water glass and brought it to his mouth, and gently wiped the corner of the boy's lips with his thumb. The soft touch... made him almost unable to restrain himself.

The people in front of him are so close at hand, how can he make him accept himself willingly?

For Carlos, this is probably more troublesome than how to kill Jing Sui. After all, killing someone is much easier than making someone like you.

Especially when the person still has a heart.

Carlos suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and when he saw that the young man had finally eaten, he asked gently, "Are you full?"

Ji Ling hiccupped, feeling that it was really detrimental to her image, her face flushed slightly, she nodded and said, "I'm full."

As he said that, he looked at Carlos again with a puzzled expression. He hadn't eaten anything all night, and most of the time he was looking at himself. Could it be that he was full of himself?

And Carlos's eyes didn't seem to have any problems, but inexplicably gave people a creepy feeling, as if he was the prey being targeted...

Ji Ling still had a keen sense of self-protection. He stood up and said to Carlos, "I'm sleepy and want to rest."

Carlos raised his thin lips and let out a low laugh: "Okay."

He got up and took Ji Ling to his room in person. This room seemed to be specially arranged. Carlos smiled and said, "The room is rarely occupied by people, so I cleaned it temporarily. It's a little rough, don't mind."

In fact, it's not that no one is staying here, but there is no other guest room except Carlos' own bedroom. This room was originally a sun room, just next to Carlos's own bedroom. He let him stay overnight. It was organized by people, and it doesn't look simple at all, very luxurious, warm and comfortable.

Ji Ling didn't know this. He just wanted to avoid Carlos as soon as possible. Although he came to test Carlos, he had to take his time, so he said, "Then I'll rest first."

Carlos nodded with a smile, and closed the door for Ji Ling after going out.

Seeing that the door was closed, Ji Ling immediately walked over gently with a cat on his waist, checked the door lock carefully, and made sure that there was no problem, and then heaved a sigh of relief!

Too tired today!

Just now, he always felt that Carlos looked at him in the wrong way, so he was always worried, but Carlos did not have any abnormal behavior from beginning to end, it seemed that he thought too much...

It's a pity that I couldn't get any useful information today. Ji Ling originally wanted to ask the system's opinion, but when he thought that he and the system were still in a cold war, he was suffocated.

He lay down on the bed, sniffed the relaxing aroma on his nostrils, and soon fell asleep exhausted.

Quiet night, only the sound of leaves rustling outside the window.

A soft sound of 'click' disappeared in a flash, without disturbing the waves of the night, the door slowly opened to both sides, a pair of black leather shoes stepped on the thick soft carpet, and there was no sound.

The tall man stood behind the back light, stood at the door for a moment, and then walked slowly to the bed.

Carlos lowered his eyes and stared at the boy on the bed.

The boy slept soundly, his soft blond hair spread on the pillow, and a strand fell on his forehead. The moonlight fell on his face, outlining a beautiful and flamboyant profile, just like his own free and easy. Although he closed his eyes, he could imagine how dazzling blue eyes were when he opened them. .

After a long time, Carlos bent down and stretched out his hand, gently helping the boy straighten the messy short hair that was sleeping.

His fingertips swept across the youth's white-fair forehead, eyelashes, bridge of nose, chin... and finally landed on the soft lips.

The look in Carlos' eyes was surging, and the desire that he had been deeply hidden in the bottom of his heart was now revealed in his eyes without any cover, showing his bones and clearness.

The boy was right in front of his eyes now.

If in the last life, he was only vaguely guilty and remorseful towards Ji Ling... In this life, he is very sure that he wants to get him.

Get his body, mind, everything, and let him be completely his own.

Because every time I get closer to you and get to know you a little more, I will find that I love you a little more than I imagined...

You are so dazzling and beautiful, and at the same time you have the most gentle and kind heart in the world. Your kindness can melt my hard and cold heart. You are the only one. It makes me feel that I will not be lonely if I have someone by my side.people.

Carlos leaned over slowly, bowed his head and kissed the long-awaited lip-flap solemnly.

The freshness and sweetness on it was beyond his imagination, like a huge vortex that he couldn't get out of, engulfing his whole being.

With one hand on the side of the boy's neck, he couldn't help but intensify the kiss, his eyes were sharp like a falcon, mixed with a dark and crazy paranoid, greed and desire swept his reason like a hurricane.

No one can take you away from me.

Neither can that person.
