Chapter 731: The Loneliness of the Emperor

A faint pressure exuded from Catherine’s body as if the prelude to a storm. Chen Rui squinted slightly as he suddenly felt a sense of danger.

In the [Analytical Eyes], Catherine’s overall strength had actually surpassed the original S+ and reached S++. It seemed that her strength had also improved a lot during this period. The black potions he gave away definitely had some credit.

This was like lifting a rock and stubbing his own foot.

“Wait a minute, you turn hostile too quickly, I haven’t said whether or not to agree.”

Catherine was taken aback. She retrieved most of the murderous intent and said surprisingly, “Then you just…”

“Don’t you know that there is a word called ‘reserved’? I was being reserved just now.” Chen Rui ignored the oppression and raised a finger, “I formally express my attitude – whether Catherine or Christina or some other identity, your prince consort, husband and man can only be me!”

Even Catherine was moved by that kind of resolute gaze. Her Majesty Empress’ momentum had been completely weakened. This guy added another sentence, “Of course it’s not a problem to give birth to an inheritor. I can promise to complete the task.”

This sentence made Catherine’s face feel a little hot, but she didn’t hear the next sentence for a long time. So, her pretty brows wrinkled slightly, “And?”

“And… Uh, it’s okay to have a few more inheritors!”

“That’s it?”

“Ah.”

Catherine’s murderous intent instantly soared, and her voice became cold, “Are you fooling me?”

“No, I’m serious. What I’m talking about is just a matter between a man and a woman, and it’s a man and woman who have feelings for each other and had an intimate relationship before. It has nothing to do with the empire and its interests. This is my answer. Chen Rui looked straight at Catherine, “I said back then that I will come to the Dark Shadow Empire with the strength that made the Demon Realm tremble and snatch you away. In the Crystal Valley, I also had left a will that ‘I will definitely come back’. Do you know why I didn’t go? Because my current strength is not enough.”

(Not enough.)

(Not enough to make you really let go.)

Catherine suddenly had a tacit understanding of his unspoken words. In the deep black eyes, the tranquil lake water seemed to ripple slightly like it was thrown with a stone.

After a moment of silence, Catherine said, “Could it be… you want to unify the Demon Realm to achieve this wish? If so, I can only comment on it as ‘foolish as always’. I came to the Dark Moon today not to listen to your so-called oath, so you don’t need to talk nonsense. I just want to tell you that since you don’t want to join the Dark Shadow Empire, then we are destined to become enemies.”

Chen Rui sighed and made a look of no resistance, “So, do you want to make a move? Get rid of me, the biggest threat to the survival of the empire? If you want to kill me, I don’t seem to have any room for resistance.”

Catherine’s momentum suddenly disappeared when she looked into his eyes, “I can’t kill you, not only because you are calm, but also because of my intuition; even though I have the Dark Shadow Cape and I’m only 1 step away from kingdomi
