"There's an old saying in China, 'Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders.' Such a great young man is bound to have a few women around him. Haven't you ever considered... taking the lead yourself?"

"Shh! Don't say things like that again. I would never do such a thing. This is a matter of principle."

Lena gestured for Lana to be quiet...

……

Chapter 225 Art Student: This matter can't be resolved without 50 yuan.

(P.S.: Let me explain here. Sivir's personality is based on your sister Xiaoya's personality. She sat next to me during this time, and many of the emotional conversations were spoken by her personally. I then typed her words into the chapters word for word.)

"Tch, boring..."

Lana rolled her eyes.

"Your husband's little earthworm, I bet the outside three centimeters are old, but the inside is all new. He's been on drugs for the past few years, if this continues..."

Lana suddenly covered her mouth...

"How did you know……"

Lena glared at Lana with an unfriendly expression...

"Cough cough..."

Lana tugged at her collar, then shook her head and left in a pretentious manner...

"..."

sad……

(P.S.: Reina is just for fun, she's not the main character, but she'll be around to help with fights later on.)

……

"Not bad, there has been a significant improvement compared to before."

Yuan Hua nodded affirmatively.

"I also have to thank you for your sparring partner."

Sivir breathed a sigh of relief...

"By the way, have you heard what's happening in the city?"

"Do you mean?"

Yuan Hua tossed the towel into Sivir's hand.

"Someone's giving a speech in the tavern, something like that, a loaf of bread costs two silver coins and fifty-eight copper coins..."

(P.S.: Based on the purchasing power at the time, 50 marks were equivalent to 258 RMB today. What does that mean? It's like buying an eyebrow pencil for 79 RMB.)

"It's said to have been done by hawks plotting a rebellion, and the person has been arrested on the spot."

Sivir draped the towel she had used to wipe her sweat over her shoulders, then took Yuan Hua's arm.

"Let's go, let's go to town and buy some food."

"Hmm...okay, I just happen to be going to the palace."

Yuan Hua nodded, put his arm around Sivir's waist, and left the training ground.

What are you going to the palace for?

Sivir looked up at Yuan Hua.

"I have a deal with the king, and I'm working for him now. Don't talk about this."

Yuan Hua gently pinched the tip of Sivir's nose.

"No, my mouth is sealed shut."

Sylvie wasn't very familiar with her uncle Pudwolf, and unless there was a special need, Sylvie rarely communicated with Pudwolf.

Although Pudov had always intended to recruit Sivir into the army.

"Have prices in the Doron Empire really gotten this outrageous...?"

Yuan Hua scratched his head...

"I don't usually feel anything when I go out."

"No way! If it were that expensive, where would I get the money to go shopping every day?"

Sivir shook her head, denying it outright.

"It's probably just a pretext for treason."

"Um……"

Yuan Hua nodded thoughtfully...

"The person who gave the speech was arrested for spreading rumors."

Sivir turned to look at Yuan Hua.

"What was your deal with the king?"

"This has to be kept secret, I can't say."

Yuan Hua shook his head.

"But if you're smart enough, you should be able to guess, since there haven't been many major events lately."

"..."

Sivir had already guessed it.

Although she seemed silly on the surface, she was quite intelligent, making her one of the few smart people in Yuan Hua's harem.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore. Asking too much won't do me any good."

"you're right."

Yuan Hua gave Sivir an approving look.

"I'll take you to the food street first. After that, you can go back to the darkroom. I'll go to the palace. Once we've finished talking, we'll go home."

"Okay, whatever you say."

Sivir naturally had no objections; it was a good opportunity to go back to the darkroom, find a place to cook and eat, and then take a bath afterward.

……

Walking on the streets of the Doronro Empire, the pedestrians appeared no different, but in reality, everyone's eyes held a hint of wariness...

There was no way around it; too many major events had happened recently, especially the massive explosion at Duke Hughes's manor and the farm tool depot, which made them mistakenly believe that war was about to break out.

Walking down the street, everyone seemed like a dangerous person.

Some have even packed up their belongings and closed down for the holidays...

"Oh dear, my favorite cake shop has closed down."

Sylvie looked regretfully at the shop door, which had already been shut down...

"It's okay, let's eat something else. I like cake and cookies. Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it."

Yuan Hua patted his head to comfort him...

"I want to eat cookies..."

Sivir stared blankly at the now-closed cake shop...

"Are you sure you don't want to slow down your appetite?"

Yuan Hua picked up Sivir and held her in his arms.

"Stop it, I'm not a child."

Sivir patted Yuan Hua on the back.

"How about we have roast chicken? There's a restaurant nearby run by Chinese people. That place shouldn't be closed."

"Don't take pictures, don't take pictures. Haven't I always spoiled you like a child?"

Yuan Hua hugged her tighter...

Suddenly, Yuan Hua saw a familiar figure from behind. Oh no, it was Ma Da!

Yuan Hua was shocked and, carrying Sivir, darted into a nearby alley.

……

"Huh? That's strange, I think I just saw a familiar figure."

Mada scratched his head...

"Is it an illusion?"

……

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Seeing Yuan Hua's panicked state, Sivir was filled with three question marks: ???

"predecessor?"

"No, it's an old classmate."

Yuan Hua wiped a bead of sweat from his brow...

If that kid Madda sees this, he might tell Selena.

"Uh... I owe him money."

"Oh? Aren't you quite rich?"

Sivir had even more question marks on her head...

"I borrowed it on purpose, so that he'd remember me for life, hehe..."

Yuan Hua chuckled...

(P.S.: Remember, never say you're worried about rumors spreading. The woman will think you're not presentable and will argue with you.)
