Chapter 337: First Meeting with the Sun King

Chapter 335 Princess of the Empire

July 15.

On a flight from Chang'an to Ivangelista, Ji Xinghuo sat in the first class cabin, looking at the clouds outside the window.

Zhao Manying arrived in Ivangelista two days ago.

This year's International Invitational Tournament was also held in Ivangelista, with a total of seven days of competition, and the champion of this year will be decided on the 22nd. Then on the 25th, this year's marathon event will begin, including the quadrennial Global Marathon.

Two consecutive competitions were held in Ivangelista, making this city the most popular tourist destination in the world.

Although he could fly directly, this time it was a formal entry, so Ji Xinghuo chose to take a plane.

He wanted to practice for a few more days and wait until the day before the marathon started before setting off.

However, Zhao Manying will play in the game tomorrow.

As a boyfriend, he must be there to cheer her up, and he also made an appointment in advance to play Ivangelista together.

In addition, he was ready to bet for himself.

"Mr. Ji," a pretty young stewardess entered the first class cabin, squatted down beside Ji Xinghuo, and smiled gently, "Excuse me, would you like some water?"

Ji Xinghuo shook his head, "No, thank you."

"Okay." The stewardess showed a little disappointment in her eyes, but still kept smiling, "If Mr. Ji has any needs, please let me know at any time."

She stood up and walked away reluctantly.

There were only four passengers in the first class cabin, and the other three saw the stewardess's hospitality. She treated Ji Xinghuo more enthusiastically than others.

Not only her, but every stewardess on this flight came to ask.

Ji Xinghuo felt helpless.

Others didn't know who he was, but his name was on the passenger list, and he couldn't hide it from the crew.

This one was still good, the one just now almost came up to him, suggesting that he could devote himself immediately.

"Brother." Sitting across the aisle was a well-dressed man who looked successful. He cast an envious look and said in a low voice: "If I were you, I would definitely not be able to help it. I would have to go to the bathroom to have a shot. But it's strange, why do they all like you?"

Ji Xinghuo looked at him, "Because I'm handsome."

"Maybe..." The man looked at Ji Xinghuo twice, a little puzzled, and muttered: "I'm not bad looking."

Ji Xinghuo smiled and said nothing more.

Someone in the front row turned around and smiled: "It's useless to just be handsome. If you were Ji Xinghuo, even if you were ugly, they would like you."

"Ah?"

The man next to him was stunned.

Then his face was full of disbelief, and he said in surprise: "You are Ji Xinghuo! No wonder they all call you Mr. Ji, I should have guessed it long ago!"

Ji Xinghuo nodded and looked at the passengers in the front row.

This man looked to be in his early thirties, with a very distinctive appearance. Although he had Asian facial features, his eyes were ice blue, and his hair was dyed gray-blue, like deep frozen ice silk.

As early as when boarding the plane, Ji Xinghuo noticed the other party. His eyes and hair were not dyed, but the manifestation of supernatural powers brought by evolution.

This person is a legendary strongman, and he is a legendary second stage, with extremely strong strength.

The other party has no hostility and a warm smile on his face.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Ji Xinghuo asked.

"I am An Yitian." The man stood up and walked over, stretched out his hand, and pointed to another passenger across the aisle from him, introducing: "She is my sister An Zhisu."

The woman turned her head and glanced at Ji Xinghuo, nodded slightly, and then retracted her gaze, looking silent.

She also has supernatural powers, her pupils are fiery red, and her hair is dark red.

"It turns out to be Binghuo brother and sister."

Ji Xinghuo's face suddenly understood, but he was not very surprised.

Just now, he guessed the identities of these two people, but did not disturb the other party. Sure enough, he guessed it right.

An Yitian and An Zhisu are a very well-known pair of siblings in the Asia-Pacific Community, and they are twins.

Both of them are legendary strongmen, and both are on the Legendary List, An Yitian is 24th, and An Zhisu is 25th.

The evolution of aliens has a lot to do with genes.

But sometimes it has nothing to do with it. Even brothers, sisters, or even twins with the same father and mother may have very different achievements on the road of evolution. One can become a king, while the other can hardly even be promoted to a legend.

There are not many families in the world who can climb the ladder to heaven.

And on the Legendary List, the only pair of siblings or sister-brother relationships are An Yitian and An Zhisu.

The two are ranked very high.

The 24th and 25th on the Legendary List means that the brother and sister are both powerful aliens in the top 100 in the world, and this is the only case.

Ji Xinghuo stood up and shook hands with An Yitian, "I am Ji Xinghuo, and I am very happy to meet the two seniors."

The brother and sister are 77 years old, and it is appropriate to call them seniors.

"Haha, your title of No. 1 in the ladder is much more famous than ours." An Yitian smiled heartily and said, "We have also signed up for the global marathon this time, and we will compete with each other then."

"Then we will have to appreciate the style of our predecessors." Ji Xinghuo replied.

An Yitian shook his head and said, "We just focus on participating. The real hope of winning the championship depends on you and Master Chaofeng. It would be great if you could steal the limelight from the Sun King."

"Do your best." Ji Xinghuo said modestly.

An Yitian's profession is "Ice Master" and An Zhisu is "Fire Maniac". Both of them have fast burst speed, but they are not suitable for long-distance running.

If it was a previous Global Marathon, they might have a chance to win a place, but this year, with so many stars, they can only run as a runner-up.

The two started talking.

Ji Xinghuo found that this An Yitian was quite interesting. He had no arrogance of a senior or a legend. He was lively and sincere, and he was also humorous. He was a friend worth making.

His sister An Zhisu was the exact opposite. She was cold as ice and didn't like to talk. She seemed to have social phobia.

This formed a strong contrast with their professions.

The Ice Lord was enthusiastic and active, but the Fiery Maniac was cold as ice. They were impressed by the first meeting.

During the pleasant chat, the plane landed at the airport in Ivangelista.

After getting off the plane, Ji Xinghuo exchanged contact information with the brother and sister, and made an appointment to play together if they had the chance. After completing the entry procedures, they took off and left the airport.

He didn't fly very fast to avoid triggering Ivangelista's air defense system. This is the New Roman Empire. The air defense system is much stronger than that of the Indy Kingdom. There are also many kings. It is not easy to deal with if something goes wrong.

It was midsummer, but the weather in Ivangeler was not particularly hot. There were tall buildings everywhere, but the architectural style was obviously unique.

Many buildings were designed with round spires, which had a strong religious atmosphere.

There were also retro stone palaces, which were magnificent.

This historic city finally became the capital of the Roman Empire in the 23rd century, although this "Rome" was not very orthodox.

In any case, Silla was also Silla.

In the distance, there was a huge silver-white palace, located in the center of Ivangeler. It covered a large area, and the building was as sharp as a fortress, as if it was made of steel.

That was the imperial palace of the empire.

Because of its unique and tough architectural style, people called it the "Iron Palace".

Ji Xinghuo shuttled between the buildings. There were crowds of people on the ground. Some people looked up and saw him, but they were not too surprised. These days, many runners who came to participate in the global marathon arrived, and people often flew over in the sky.

Not long after, Ji Xinghuo arrived at a luxury hotel on the Black Sea coast, where the staff of the Emperor Star Club lived.

Zhao Manying had already done the formalities for him, and he could register.

Electromagnetic induction swept across the hotel, and Zhao Manying was lying alone on the balcony of the suite, wearing a bikini and sunbathing.

Ji Xinghuo flew over and landed on the balcony.

"Here you are!"

Zhao Manying looked delighted and sat up.

Ji Xinghuo leaned over and kissed her lightly, admiring her tall and perfect figure, and asked with a smile: "No training today?"

"The training is over, and the tactics that should be practiced have been practiced. Just wait for tomorrow to win the game." Zhao Manying looked relaxed and confident. Since the fusion of the Eye of Truth, her strength has greatly increased, and she has not lost a game so far.

She waved her hand, and a set of casual clothes flew over from the room, "This is the clothes I bought for you, change quickly, and let's go out to play."

"Okay."

Ji Xinghuo quickly changed his clothes, short-sleeved shorts, and a pair of cool sunglasses, handsome and leisurely.

But the pair of silver and black running shoes on his feet looked a bit out of tune.

Zhao Manying knew that these were flying shoes and could not be changed.

She also put on the same couple's outfit, revealing her white shoulders, wearing sunglasses, and her long legs highlighted her youthful beauty.

"Where's Qinghong?"

"She stayed at home." Ji Xinghuo was a little helpless when he mentioned Qinghong, "Since that guy learned to surf the Internet, he has been lying at home watching TV series all day, ordering takeout dozens of times a day, and can eat millions of Asian dollars in half a month."

Zhao Manying chuckled, "Let it eat, anyway, you don't lack this little money."

"I'm not sorry for the money, I'm afraid that this guy will become a otaku, and now he has gained a lot of weight." Ji Xinghuo was speechless.

This time, just after returning to Earth, he suddenly wanted to teach Qinghong to recognize words.

Qinghong's intelligence is about the same as that of a seven or eight-year-old child. He quickly learned hundreds of words, and then became addicted to the Internet.

He refused to go out several times.

If there were no housekeeping robots to clean, the house would have become a garbage dump long ago.

"Let's go."

Zhao Manying happily took Ji Xinghuo's arm and left the hotel together. Ivangelista is a world-renowned tourist destination, with many modern architectural wonders and glorious historical relics.

This afternoon, the two visited the History Museum, churches, and ancient relics left over from the Roman period.

Because they were wearing sunglasses and disguised, they were not recognized.

At night.

When the weather was cool, the two had dinner at a restaurant on the Black Sea, enjoying the night view of Ivangelista.

"How is the betting going?" Ji Xinghuo thought of this.

Zhao Manying arrived a few days in advance and brought her team with her. She said, "I have selected several bookmakers with the best reputation and the most abundant funds, and spread the bets to ensure that they are able to pay."

She operated on her mobile phone, "Take a look."

After checking, Ji Xinghuo found that his odds were still very low, currently about 1 to 18.

"Is there a handicap for the Global Marathon?" He saw something else.

"The Global Marathon has always had companies opening dealers. Since the Sun King announced his participation, it has become more popular than ever before." Zhao Manying explained.

Ji Xinghuo saw his name on it.

The most popular one was naturally the Sun King, with extremely low odds, which meant that all major bookmakers were optimistic about his victory.

But his odds were very high.

The odds for other contestants are very high. Given the prediction data, the Sun King's winning rate is as high as over 95%, while the others combined are less than 5%.

"Do you want to vote?" Zhao Manying asked.

Ji Xinghuo thought for a moment and finally shook his head, "Let's forget it."

Even with the flying shoes, he was not sure that he would win the Global Marathon. The variables in this competition were too great. The key to victory or defeat was not just on the field. He had a hunch that there must be interference factors off the field.

In comparison, it is more certain to defeat Li Xuan.

It can be said to be very stable.

"It's better to be more stable." Zhao Manying nodded slightly and continued: "I have prepared 5 billion funds to bet, how much are you prepared to invest?"

"I'll also invest 5 billion."

Ji Xinghuo didn't care too much. With the current odds, the 5 billion could turn into 90 billion.

What he wants more is the ether crystal, "Is there any company that accepts ether crystal bets? We also need to pay with ether crystal."

"I've had someone check it, but it's not there." Zhao Manying was also very sorry.

"pity……"

Halfway through Ji Xinghuo's words, several rays of light flashed across the night sky in the distance, flying towards him at a very fast speed.

Zhao Manying also saw the person coming, with surprise in his eyes.

There were three people, one woman and two men.

The leader is the young woman in the middle, with black hair and blue eyes, her hair tied back, wearing an elegant crown on her head, wearing a close-fitting combat uniform, with a pair of frost wings made of cold air on her back, a gun hanging on her waist, and There is a long sword, and there are super rings on each of his left and right hands.

This luxurious equipment shows her strength and status.

The two men behind her are both legendary strong men, and they are obviously the young woman's bodyguards.

A chill settled down.

Amid the surprise of many guests at the seaside restaurant, the three landed on the beach and walked towards Ji Xinghuo and the two.

"your Highness!"

"Princess Sophia!"

Many people recognized the identity of the visitor and stood up to salute. The restaurant manager quickly came forward to greet him and gave him a warm welcome.

Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Manying looked at each other.

They all heard about this imperial princess.

The Iron Emperor has many concubines and lovers, and has been creating people for two centuries. Not including illegitimate children, he has more than fifty named children alone, creating a huge royal family with tens of thousands of direct descendants. people.

However, among so many descendants, the favored ones are less than two fingers apart, and they are all talented strangers.

Among them is Princess Sophia.

She is the granddaughter of the Iron Emperor. She was born more than fifty years ago. She showed great talent before she reached adulthood and was taken by the Iron Emperor to train her.

Sophia lived up to her expectations. She was promoted to Super Alien at the age of 27 and a Legend at the age of 42.

Later he became a legend.

Now she is 54 years old and ranked 235th on the legend list.

Among the royal families of the New Roman Empire, Sophia's talent was second only to the Iron Emperor, so her position was solid and unshakable. She makes frequent public appearances, is well known to the people of the Empire, is well-known around the world, and is extremely popular.

Princess Sofia accepted the restaurant manager's hand kiss and whispered a few instructions to him.

He waved to the guests around him again, very cordially.

Then, she walked up to Ji Xinghuo and the two of them, and greeted with a smile: "Ms. Sword Immortal, Mr. Ji, welcome you two to Evangrad."
