Chapter 297 Love Rival
Ryan returned to Black Dragon City in casual clothes without alerting too many people.
He went back to his residence, took a shower, changed his clothes, and planned to go see Ymir first.
Receiving a visiting delegation from Omar would not have alarmed a hands-off city lord like him, but Ymir specifically called him back, so she must have had another reason.
…
Ryan changed into a suit and walked all the way to the municipal building.
The municipal administration of Black Dragon City is now the busiest department in the city. The population has skyrocketed to tens of millions in just over half a year, and there are many things to deal with. But because the national management system he planned has been fully operational, officials are doing their jobs, and there is no chaos.
Passing by the commercial district, Ryan thought that Ymir seemed to like sweets very much, so he bought some from the pastry shop on the corner.
Wrap it in oil paper and twist it in your hand.
He arrived at the top floor of the City Hall, familiar with the route.
But unexpectedly, there was an uninvited guest here.
In the corridor, a group of servants were waiting at the door of Ymir's office, holding beautifully wrapped gifts that looked very valuable.
Ryan raised his eyebrows slightly. With such a grand ceremony, he guessed that the visitor might be a high-ranking noble.
The office door was open and he could clearly hear the conversation inside.
"Your Highness Ymir, please forgive me for taking so long to come to your territory to see you. You don't know how much I missed you during the time you were away from the imperial capital. Oh, how much I regret not leaving the Omar Imperial Capital with you..."
"No, Frank, we are not that acquainted. If you have anything to say, please get down to business."
"Your Highness, I know you must be blaming me. I brought you some small gifts from the Royal City of Oma, the latest work of Master Tony from the Rose Jewelry Shop, the Tears of the Sky. I know that even this sapphire necklace, which is said to be the most beautiful in the world, is not even one tenth as beautiful as you, nor can it make up for one tenth of the guilt in my heart..."
"Thank you for your kindness, but no need for the gift."
"Your Highness, after you finish handling government affairs, will you be free? I would like to invite you to dinner..."
"Sorry, I have an appointment."
"How about tomorrow night? I think, Your Highness, you will not have the heart to refuse an invitation from an old friend."
“…”
After just a few simple words, Ryan knew what was going on.
The visitor was a young man who sounded like he had some acquaintance with Ymir. He was very skilled in picking up girls and it was obvious that he was a seasoned love expert.
But, I'm definitely not very familiar with it.
All of Ymir's direct followers followed her to Black Dragon City.
Besides, since they were already very familiar with each other, Ryan had asked about Ymir's scandal before.
She said it herself, no.
At this moment, the female assistant wearing glasses in the Prime Minister's office saw Ryan, walked over, and whispered to him: "Lord, His Highness has instructed you to come in as soon as you arrive."
"good."
Ryan smiled, probably knowing why Ymir called him here.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw the handsome white-faced man. He was holding an open box with a dazzling sapphire necklace inside.
Ymir saw Ryan and took the initiative to greet him, smiling slightly and said, "Ryan, you're here."
Ryan nodded, pretending not to know, and gestured to the person in the room: "Ymir, do you have a guest?"
Ymir introduced: "This is Mr. Frank from the Omar Spencer family. The Spencer family and my mother's family are old friends..."
These two sentences explained the other party's origins clearly, and Ryan also understood it.
…
On the other hand, Frank felt a little surprised. Did he just see Ymir smile?
He talked for a long time, but Her Royal Highness the Princess kept a cold expression, which was no different from her previous impression, so he didn't care.
But when such a person suddenly came, she smiled?
Frank felt very surprised, and then looking at Ryan's face, he felt it was somewhat familiar. He instantly thought that the person in front of him should be the Lord of Black Dragon City.
He looked Ryan up and down, frowned slightly, and felt an inexplicable hostility in his heart.
When he was confessing his love, another man broke in, which made him feel that the atmosphere was very bad.
Ryan glanced at him. The other party had no intention of greeting him, so he didn't intend to pay attention to him.
Love rival?
No.
This kind of person is simply not qualified.
Ryan never took this nobleman seriously, but thinking that Ymir asked him to come, he probably felt that this kind of person was annoying.
Probably because they were old friends on my mother’s side, and it was not easy to break up with them.
Ryan walked over, ignoring the young nobleman, smiled and handed the cake in his hand to Ymir, saying: "I brought you the 'brown sugar cake' that you like to eat, would you like to try it?"
"Okay, I'm a little hungry."
Ymir smiled happily and walked towards Ryan, ready to take the pastry.
Frank, who was standing by, saw his eyelids twitch suddenly, and his hand holding the jewelry box froze.
When she took out this rare sapphire necklace worth tens of millions of liso, she didn't even see Ymir looking at it. But she didn't expect that this man would take out a pastry worth dozens of liso bought from the street and show such a little girl's demeanor?
What’s more, what shocked him even more was yet to come!
Ymir came over, and Ryan handed the cake to her with his left hand. Unexpectedly, he did not stop, but took another step forward, and the two of them reached an extremely intimate distance. Then he put his right hand around Ymir's slender waist and kissed her forehead naturally.
This bold move caused even Ymir's crystal blue eyes to flash with surprise for a moment.
This was the first time Ryan kissed him.
No, it was the first man who kissed her since she became an adult.
However, her expression was also extremely natural. She quietly rolled her eyes at Ryan, then took the cake with a smile and said, "Thank you for bringing me cakes even though you are so busy."
This scene shocked Frank who was standing by.
Kissing the forehead is not a big deal, and any member of the opposite sex who is slightly familiar with each other can do this as a greeting.
But... this is Ymir!
Princess Ymir Springgreen of Omar, who no one else dared to hold her hand, was kissed on the forehead so intimately by a man, and there was no trace of surprise on her face?
Even... accepted it naturally?
Is this still the cold and frosty [Frost Sword Princess]?
How is it possible...
At this moment, Frank's expression was stiff, and his heart was already filled with turmoil.
…
The two people who were "showing their love" in the room seemed to care nothing about the feelings of a light bulb.
Ymir peeled off the wax paper of the pastry, took out a piece, put it in her mouth, and took a light bite.
After chewing and swallowing, she showed a satisfied and happy expression, "Mm, delicious."
Seeing this scene, Frank, who was standing by, couldn't stay there any longer no matter how thick-skinned he was.
With a stiff face, he said, "Since Her Highness Ymir has an appointment, I won't bother you anymore. I'll visit you another day. Goodbye."
"Um."
Ymir didn't want to say anything more, so she just nodded politely.
…
After Mr. Frank left, Ryan and Ymir were the only ones left in the office.
The female assistant was also very sensible and closed the office door.
Neither of them spoke.
Ymir was concentrating on eating the cakes wrapped in oil paper. It was a rare opportunity for her to take a break from her busy schedule, and she was in a good mood.
She also didn't mention the sudden kiss from Ryan just now.
As if he didn't care...
It seems to be a natural behavior...
Ryan also watched her eat the dessert slowly and quietly without saying anything.
Soon, Ymir finished the pastry and seemed very satisfied. She praised, "It tastes good."
She turned around and looked at Ryan, asking, "Have you made any breakthroughs in your recent training? Have you made any progress in the 'fist spirit' you want to comprehend?"
Ryan nodded: "Well, there are some gains. But I feel like I'm still a little short of opportunities."
There is a goblin device in Black Dragon City that can release high-concentration abyss demonic energy, so it is not difficult to breathe in and out fighting spirit.
In fact, a few months ago, the Dou Qi in his meridians was already overflowing. Normal meditation absorption would hardly increase it. But in the thunderstorm, the [Thunder God Technique] was still slowly rising.
He also discovered then that the super-strong meridians were not only able to carry an overload of fighting spirit, but also prevented the violent lightning elements brought into the body from being lost easily, forcibly increased the amount of lightning element breathing and conversion, and thus further enhanced the amount of fighting spirit in the sea of Qi.
Now his fighting spirit is about eight times that of a fighter of the same level. After he advances to the fourth level of transcendence and then increases three to five times, the gap will become larger and larger.
As for the "meaning of boxing", it is something very mysterious.
When nine of the ten orifices are open, the remaining one may be opened tomorrow, or it may take ten or eight years, or it may even keep you stuck here for the rest of your life.
There are many masters above level four in Black Dragon City, and Ryan has asked many of them and gained various experiences.
In a nutshell: follow your heart.
…
When talking about the topic of fist spirit, Ymir thought of something, and suddenly the corner of her mouth slightly raised: "Domineering fist spirit?"
Her words seemed to imply something.
Ryan rarely saw her expression not so serious, so he corrected her: "Invincible Fist Intent."
Ymir tilted her head slightly, pretending to think deeply for a moment, then nodded: "Yeah, very powerful fist."
Ryan didn't say much: "Let's have dinner together tonight?"
Ymir readily agreed: "Okay."
