Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship

Chapter 695 Lan Qi just wants to be beaten to death by Tata

 In the square of the Eiffel Tower.

 “Let’s go, Tata.”

Lan Qi continued to hold her hand without letting go, inviting her to go with him.

"Um."

Thalia said nothing or resisted, and just let him lead her away.

 She is very emotionally stable.

 The volcano in my heart was finally suppressed.

If it were Hyperion, she would definitely not be angry with Lan Qi at this time.

  I am Hyperion, I am Hyperion.

Lanchi happily held Thalia's hand, his eyes lingering on her profile from time to time.

"Hello!"

“You are also looking forward to sparking some sparks between the two of them during their date, right?”

Thalia slowly raised her head, and he held her waist tightly, holding hands as if dancing.

He quickly grabbed the lady's wrist and put his other hand firmly around her slender waist. The two of them quickly took a step closer to the sidewalk.

Thalia frowned slightly, pursed her cherry lips tightly, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with worries.

Today, Talia is wearing gloves, and Lan Qi is holding her hand very casually, but the closer the distance between them is, the more the cat owner is afraid of Lan Qi's sudden appearance.

Countess Rosalinda whispered excitedly, with a gossipy gleam in her eyes.

Rosalinda waved quietly to the cat boss.

 The two of them noticed it immediately.

"Meow!"

Rosalinda hugged the little black cat that jumped over, lowered her head and asked.

　　In the first round of the platinum-level card maker exam, the little cat followed her throughout the whole day.

While they were chatting, Atio noticed that when a dark red convertible magic energy vehicle was speeding past, Tata, who was being led across the road by Lan Qi, was absent-minded in the back and seemed to be thinking about something.

 Only Lan Qi's strong and warm palm gave her an extremely safe sense of reality.

 Lan Qi reacted immediately.

While it was moving back and forth like a black shadow in the corner, on the bench, and at the newsstand, it suddenly saw two other figures on the other side of the street, following them from a distance.

 For a moment she felt the familiar accelerated heartbeat of the past two days again.

 The two of them had changed into casual clothes, and it was completely impossible to tell that they were the earl and the demon lord.

"Meow…"

 Although it feels terrible.

 The two of them walked leisurely like this, sometimes chatting and laughing, sometimes falling into short listening sessions.

　　They looked around and observed Lan Qi and Tata's every move.

 She kept hypnotizing herself in her mind and finally calmed down her emotions.

 But it's still curious.

 Sure enough…

 Atio echoed, with a bit of relief in his tone.

 “Kitten, kitten, come here quickly.”

His tough and reliable attitude, his unwavering eyes, and his pretty face if you look closely...

At this sudden moment, Thalia felt that everything around her slowed down. The footsteps of pedestrians on the road, the leaves dancing on the treetops, and the petals flying in the air all seemed to pass through her field of vision in slow motion.

She looked at Lan Qi in surprise.

 “Look, Atio, I’m telling you, they are such a talented couple, a match made in heaven!”

Thalia's bright red lips opened slightly, and the speeding vehicle brought up a gust of wind, which picked up the petals on the street and swirled into colorful vortexes in the air.

 Atio almost shouted.

 The cat boss immediately nodded and jumped over there.

 Spark? volcano!

 The cat boss didn’t know how to explain the complicated relationship between Ranchi and Tata to Atio and Rosalinda.

 “Sure enough, there will be a good show today.”

 The small figure of the cat boss was hidden behind, following them furtively.

 Lanci and Thalia strolled through the streets of Parrieux one after another, and the hustle and bustle of the early morning was gradually replaced by the vibrant pulse of the city.

 The cat boss shouted from across the street.

The two good friends of Tata were hiding on the street corner like this, sometimes looking around and sometimes talking quietly, without even noticing that they had attracted the attention of several passers-by.

 Sure enough, I still...

 “That’s great, otherwise the people in the car would be in danger.”

Lanchi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Thalia, smiling like an enthusiastic citizen.

How can a mere magic vehicle hit the tower?

　　It was almost like hitting an iron tower, causing the car to crash and people to die on the spot.

　　　…”

Thalia was silent again.

 After the corner on the other side.

 “Look at how good their atmosphere is.”

 Atio sighed.

 “Yes, yes.”

Rosalinda nodded,

“Tata was too shy to speak.”

Just looking at it from a distance, she felt like her heart was about to melt.

 Cat Boss: “…”

It doesn’t know what it can say.

 I just remembered a story Lan Qi told.

 When you see a white goat on the side of the road while riding in a car, you cannot tell that it is a white goat, because it is possible that it is a black goat on the side you did not see.

 …

Beside the road, Lan Qi led Talia to the sidewalk.

“Hey, Tata, why do I feel like you’re holding my hand a little tighter?”

Lan Qi asked looking a little confused.

Thalia took a deep breath and slowly relaxed her hands, still letting Lan Qi hold her, and she was like a doll girl.

 In the past, she would have said threateningly, if you can, just keep holding on to me and don't run away.

 But today she was determined to disgust Lan Qi.

 As long as she is not angry, Lan Qi will not get what he wants.

 “I, too, will be a little scared.”

Thalia pretended to be weak and moved half closer to him.

“Can you just hold my hand today and don’t let go?”

Thalia looked up at him and said calmly.

　　　…”

Lanqi was unusually silent.

Although his expression did not change, it seemed that his face was trying hard to control the expression of discomfort.

 Until the goosebumps that briefly appeared on the back of his hands subsided.

“Of course you can, but won’t you run away first?”

Lan Qi narrowed his eyes and smiled, lowering his voice as he asked her,

"After all, as far as I know, Master Jiangyou has never had the experience of dating a boy alone in these hundreds of years. I'm afraid you are shy."

Facing Lan Qi’s provocative words, Thalia felt her blood pressure rise again.

 “No, as long as you don’t let go, I won’t let go.”

Thalia responded with a smile.

　　"Then naturally I will be the same."

Ranchi assured.

The two of them were smiling, looking at each other.

Whoever lets go today will lose.

 For a brief moment.

Rosalinda and Atio were already hiding behind the umbrellas of an outdoor refreshment shop with their cats in their arms, their eyes still fixed on the man and woman not far away.

 “Oh my God, Etio, did you see it?”

Rosalinda grabbed Atio's arm excitedly, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.

 “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!”

 Atio covered his mouth with both hands, trying hard to suppress his urge to make a sound.

Her eyes were sparkling and her cheeks were flushed with excitement.

"I can't believe that Lan Qi can be so affectionate. Look at the way he looks at Tata, as if she is his whole world!"

Rosalinda hugged the little black cat a little tighter.

This is exactly the sweet love they want to see!

 Listening to the conversation between the two, Boss Cat just felt that he was hopeless.

　　In the past, it had mistakenly thought that this was a love affair between a cold, intellectual older sister and a gentle, intelligent young man. It was looking forward to the sparks that would develop between the two of them.

Now that I actually know the two of them, I just feel that they are insulting love.

 In a blink of an eye, Lanci and Talia were drifting apart.

Atio and Rosalinda followed closely behind, walking through the streets with the cat. They were hiding, but at the same time they couldn't wait to see the whole date.

 …

The two of them walked on the road of Parrieux, enjoying the peaceful and peaceful time among the quaint old buildings in the old neighborhood of North Shore.

“By the way, Tata, do you have somewhere you want to go?”

Lanchi turned his head and looked at Thalia and asked.

Today is the first time that the two of them have made a real appointment to hang out together.

 Neither of them knew what to do.

 Lanqi didn’t prepare in advance, and of course preparation was useless.

 Tata is different from other girls. The more carefully you think about it, the more confused you will be by her.

“Please accompany me to the Card Creators Association first.”

Thalia thought for a moment and felt that the time was almost ten o'clock.

Although she didn't tell Karen the specific time, she told her to wait at the Parrieux Card Makers Association on the morning of the festival.

 Let Kallen dry there for an hour or two.

 Let Kallen remain in a state of being afraid of her Thalia coming the next second, but also expecting her Thalia to show up quickly and give her a happy time.

 Karen’s mentality should be gradually changing.

"no problem."

Lanchi and Talia crossed the River Port Bridge across the Selina River and walked towards the Card Creators Association on the south bank.

From time to time, a few wild geese pass by on the river, casting their graceful shadows in the water.

 After walking for about half an hour, the two finally arrived at the Card Creators Association building in South Bank District 3.

What is different from the past is that today there are several lifelike fireworks notice boards placed in the broad square in front of the association, indicating the time of the Fireworks Ascension Festival on the river bank tonight.

 The two of them didn't care much.

 Originally, they planned to go their separate ways today.

Stepping into the association building, you will be greeted by the elegant and pleasant fragrance of sandalwood.

The warm sunlight that shines through the dome glass windows casts a warm tone on the interior space of the association. A huge escalator is connected to the rear of the first floor, and the suspended corridor on the second floor surrounds a golden-leafed banyan tree bonsai that is more than ten meters high.

The two of them took the stairs up to the corridor on the third floor, which was paved with dark brown carpet. The windows on both sides displayed dazzling card-making works. Some of the new cards were gorgeous and carved, while others were simple. Honest and honest, return to nature.

  But they are both platinum-level card makers, and neither of them has much interest in these cards.

Only seen through the glass curtain wall, the red maple forest on the street behind the association is swaying in the wind, and the leaves have turned an intoxicating deep red, like **** of dancing flames under the morning light.

 Haven’t walked a few steps.

Their eyes were attracted by a young girl in the atrium on the third floor who was surrounded by people like stars holding the moon.

Her light-colored long hair is gently draped on her shoulders. She wears an unadorned chiffon shirt on her upper body. Her figure is petite and curvy.

It seems that everyone is congratulating her for passing the platinum level card maker. Everyone among them is a prominent figure and wants to please her and make friends with her.

However, the girl's slightly pale face and slightly smiling expression revealed a hint of fatigue, as if she was worried or in poor health.

Just when Thalia stopped to watch, the girl noticed their presence.

She slowly raised her head and scanned the crowd with her eyes. When she saw Thalia, her originally dim eyes suddenly shone with fear.

Karien seemed to have finally arrived, no longer paying attention to the people around her, and ran towards her eagerly.

Seeing Talia holding Lan Qi's hand so sweetly at this moment, and thinking that she can only do shameless things to protect her reputation in the future, Kallen felt even more mixed in her heart. Chen, his eyes felt sore.

 “I, I came as you asked.”

Kallen whispered to Thalia with timid eyes, her tone full of urgency and pleading.

 Afraid that people around would hear what they said. “Go to the card-making room first, and I’ll give you the swimsuit and brand.”

Thalia patted Kallen on the back and told her to stand up and not look like she was bullying her.

“Put your chest up and your head up a little, otherwise people may recognize you later because you are hunched over.”

Thalia said to herself next to Kallen.

Karien knew this was Tata’s dirty talk.

 She just wants to humiliate herself.

 But the more this happens, the less convinced I am, and I will be done with it today.

Thalia took Lanci with her, and the three of them walked through the corridor.

 They walked into a hidden special passage that led directly to the senior card maker area on the sixth floor of the association.

 Different from the exhibition area downstairs, the layout here is more low-key and luxurious. Generally, only Rosalinda and other management personnel can come here.

  Within a few minutes, Thalia arrived at the door of a well-decorated high-end card-making room.

Thalia gently opened the door and motioned for Kallen to go in.

In the classically decorated card-making workshop, the time-washed Yue Hua wood carved counters with uneven heights, and the enchantment seals engraved on the surface glowed with light.

Thalia motioned Kallen to sit down on the chair in front of the table, and she led Lanqi to the locker, took out a metal box and placed it on the table.

“I’ve put the swimsuit, mask, and apology board I prepared for you in the card-making room. You can just change into them and come out.”

Thalia instructed.

　　　…”

Karien pursed her lips and nodded, then opened the lid of the box.

Inside, I saw a pair of small swimming trunks, a mask for disguise, and a piece of cardboard with the words "Lord Tata, I was wrong" written on it.

Karien took out everything in the box and rummaged through it, but she couldn't find the other piece of waterproof fabric she imagined.

 “Here, is this a swimsuit?”

Kallen picked up the pair of swimming trunks and seemed to gradually understand something. She raised her head and looked at Thalia in a daze, her pupils trembling.

“Yes, I didn’t say whether it was a men’s swimsuit or a women’s swimsuit. I see that you like men so much, so I prepared a men’s swimsuit for you.”

Thalia naturally spread her left hand and said.

 “No, absolutely not! You are playing a word game!”

Kallen ran over and grabbed Thalia's forearm and shouted excitedly.

 “Get away, don’t touch me.”

Thalia just threw her away and let her fall to the ground. She lowered her head and looked at her with cold eyes like looking at garbage.

“If you bargain any more, I will take away your mask. And if I really want to embarrass you, I can make the cardboard smaller so that you can hardly block the things you want to block.”

 A strange feeling lingered in Karen's heart, and a coldness surged up her spine and spread throughout her body in an instant.

Those golden eyes like gods stared at her, making her unable to move.

 Even breathing becomes difficult.

It was the terrifying magic power and eyes that made her tremble all over.

 “No, I was wrong!”

Karien had completely burst into tears. She was threatened by Tata that day, and the fear was greater than the humiliation.

　　"Please let me go! I will never dare to provoke you again, I will disappear from your life!"

Kallen pushed herself up on the ground and wanted to come over and hug Thalia's legs, but she didn't dare to touch Thalia again, so she could only cry and beg for mercy with tears in her eyes.

　　　…”

As if she couldn't hear her words, Thalia picked up the mask, broke off a small piece from it, threw it away and threw it on the ground -

 As punishment for talking back.

It is also telling Karen that her begging for mercy will not change the intensity of the punishment at all.

 “Do you want it?”

Thalia tentatively handed the broken mask to Kallen like a bone.

　　　…”

Karien bit her lip tightly, and tears kept sliding down her face.

She couldn’t imagine what it would be like to stand in front of a large crowd wearing only such a pair of swimming trunks and holding a notice board.

 The reputation she had managed to accumulate and her status as a queen did not allow her to do such a thing.

But the fear that surpassed death made her instinctively dare not put it off any longer. Until she ran away that day, her mind seemed to be filled with the figure and voice of that gray-haired and golden-eyed figure!

“Karen, I am gentle enough to you. This mask even comes with a wig. As long as you put it on, I guarantee that no one will recognize who you are. God knows that you know it and I know it.”

Seeing Kallen's hesitation, Thalia's hands began to move along the gap in the mask again, and a crisp cracking sound gradually sounded.

“But if you break a few more pieces, there’s no guarantee that anyone will be able to recognize you…”

 Karien felt a suffocating despair.

"want!"

Karien finally seemed to have made up her mind, and seemed to have recognized the reality. She was afraid of a worse situation happening, and tried her best to cover up her emotional breakdown, trying to grab the mask.

 Every time a piece of it broke, she felt as if a piece of her self-esteem had been stripped off!

But Talia quickly took the mask away, leaving Kallen to miss.

　　　…”

Thalia put her hand to her ear and said nothing.

 As if waiting to hear Karen's words.

 “Thank you, Lord Tata…”

Karien bit her lip and whimpered.

“Well, Sister Kallen, wouldn’t it be nice to do this earlier?”

Thalia asked her with a happy curve at the corner of her mouth.

 “Tata, uh...”

Lanchi was a little worried that Talia was going too far.

From his point of view, he actually didn’t care much about what Karen did, and he wasn’t even very impressed.

  “!”

Kallen looked at Lanqi as if she had found a savior. Her hazy eyes with a bit of confusion and charm seemed to tell Lanqi that as long as he helped her persuade Tata more, she would do anything for him.

This honest man who she once looked down upon is now like her last life-saving straw!

Even though he had ridiculed and humiliated him, tortured him in public during the platinum level card maker exam, and reported him, he still gave himself a fair score regardless of his past grudges. He is a gentleman like Loren, and he will definitely not embarrass her!

But this look.

　　It was captured by Thalia in an instant.

 The mask in her hand was shattered immediately.

Kallen was so frightened that she didn't dare to look at Lan Qi anymore.

The disgust in Thalia's eyes became even stronger, which made Kallen tremble with fear, but Thalia quickly hid it.

She took Lan Qi's hand and took a step towards Kallen. She accidentally stepped on the mask and broke it even more, making a clear sound.

In the reflection of Kallen's wide-open pupils, the pure white mask was completely torn apart.

"As long as you wear this mask, no one will be able to find out who you are. This punishment is actually very mild. And instead of sincerely thanking me, you are trying to bargain with me. Don't you have any regrets in your heart?"

Thalia asked, looking at Kallen.

Her eyes were full of pity, as if she was thinking about how to really punish Karen.

 “I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! Lord Tata!”

Kallen shook her head desperately. She didn’t dare to hesitate this time, feeling like she was about to suffocate. Now she only regretted looking at Lan Qi just now and didn’t dare to provoke this gray-haired witch again.

 “Stop crying, pick it up and I’ll help you put it together.”

Thalia leaned down gently, tapped Kallen's chin with her index finger, and spoke in a gentler tone.

  “!”

Karien blew her nose for a moment, widened her eyes, and did not dare to let any more tears fall.

　　She crawled on the ground and rushed over to grab the fragments, and then handed them to Thalia reverently, as if she had found a true dependency.

“If you obey, you will be rewarded; if you are disobedient, you will be punished. Do you understand?”

Thalia used the tools in the card-making workshop to repair the mask with one hand in just a few moments, then turned back and handed it to Kallen.

The mask that was originally white and flawless now became as full of cracks as spliced ​​porcelain.

 “I understand, Lord Tata.”

Karen nodded frequently, restrained her crying and answered.

“Okay, I’ll give you a minute to change and then come out.”

After Talia finished speaking, she led Lan Qi out of the VIP card-making room.

She looked at Lan Qi with an expression of comfort.

　　　…”

 Lan Qi stood outside the door not knowing what to say.

 He was now somewhat convinced that there was no need for fusion, that the Great Love Poet was just a **** pretending to be a sadist, and that Thalia was the real queen.

 Energetic enough.

 Less than a minute.

The door lock rang a few times. It seemed that Karen was holding the notice board with one hand, and tried several times with her other trembling hand to open the lock.

Succumbing to Thalia's request, Kallen walked out of the card-making room with a deep sense of awkwardness, as if every step she took was walking on the edge of a knife.

She was wearing swimming trunks, tightly hugging the cardboard, and squeezing her chest with the cardboard. Despite this, her sides and back were still uncovered.

“Go and stand in front of the Card Creators Association until five o’clock in the afternoon.”

Thalia looked at the time and said to Kallen.

　　　…”

Kallen nodded to avoid letting Thalia see her tears, and ran away holding the cardboard.

 It didn’t take long.

Thalia was not in a hurry and took Lanqi downstairs to the floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the third floor of the association.

Looking down, I saw that the vast square below the Parrieux Card Makers Association had slowly gathered a crowd of onlookers.

Kallen stood there, holding a cardboard sign that read "Lord Tata, I was wrong." The mask covered her facial expression, but could not hide the trembling and stiff movements of her body.

 Some people were confused, some were curious, and some were talking in whispers, wondering why the young woman was performing such a strange display.

Kallen felt extremely tormented and cool. Every glance towards her was like a sharp knife piercing her heart. She stood there like an exhibit, being examined by countless pairs of eyes. Full of confusion and fear, but also anger - anger at Thalia, and anger at herself for giving in to such unreasonable demands...

Her tears flowed secretly behind the mask, and her sense of dignity and self-worth was almost fragmented at this moment.

 “What kind of perversion is this…”

 “Children, don’t look…”

 “This is performance art, right?”

 “Perhaps this will excite her more?”

 There was constant discussion.

Kallen’s ears were red and her legs were shaking, but she seemed to feel the gaze from the sky behind her, so she could only endure the humiliation and shed tears.

At the same time, Thalia stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window upstairs, looking towards the square below.

 From this angle, she could clearly see Karen's figure.

“Very good, the greater the gap between heaven and hell, the more she will do whatever it takes to keep all the vanity she has now.”

Thalia said with satisfaction.

The next step is to tell Kallen, "You don't want me to reveal my identity as a masked madman under the Card Creators Association and make your hard-earned platinum-level card maker status a laughing stock, right?" Thalia believed it, right? Kallen will obey her words.

 She took Lan Qi down the stairs of the Card Creators Association.

When they finally walked to the entrance and passed through a door several meters high, an unobstructed view of the square unfolded in front of them.

 “How’s it going, Ranch?”

Thalia asked Lanqi with a sideways glance after leaving the Card Creators Association building.

 She believed that Lan Qi saw with her own eyes how Kallen fell into the abyss step by step.

From the first time Kallen compromised, it was destined that as long as Thalia was willing, whatever Kallen was asked to do, she could do it slowly.

 “As expected of Lord Tata.”

Lan Qi echoed from the bottom of his heart.

　　　…”

Talia listened to Lanqi imitating Kallen's tone just now, and she just thought he was a bastard.

Full of yin and yang and sarcasm.

Not only is he not afraid of her, he seems to be eager to play a mental game with her, the kind where if he loses, he will be doomed.

 “You are so beautiful and powerful.”

 Lanci added.

 “Then let’s continue dating?”

Thalia hugged his left arm and leaned on his shoulder and asked softly.

She wanted to see whether Lan Qi couldn't stand it any more today or she could.

 Let's hurt each other like this.

 “Well, let’s go.”

Lan Qi paused for half a second, and finally a calm smile appeared on his shadowy face, and he nodded to her.

 The two of them walked past Karen's sight.

When Karen saw the sweet figures of the man and woman, thinking that she had no dignity like an animal at the moment, a sense of grievance surged into her heart, and her body trembled even more.
