Transmigrated with a Demon-Refining Pot: Hehehe, Refine in an instant

It was already evening when the ship arrived at the port.

The dock was bustling with people; dockworkers carried crates across the gangplanks, and several vendors hawked their wares by the roadside. A sea breeze blew in, carrying a salty, fishy smell.

After Ron disembarked, one of his men reported that someone was requesting an audience.

The man who came was a caravan manager at the port, and Ron placed an order with him.

He was a lean, middle-aged man wearing a dark gray robe, carrying an exquisite wooden box in his hands, with two assistants following behind him.

"My lord." The steward came forward and bowed respectfully.

"Your order has arrived."

Ron took the wooden box and opened it. Inside lay several rings neatly arranged—silver, gold, and gemstone-encrusted, each with a different design.

He picked up one and examined it closely, then probed it with his consciousness. Inside was a square space, about two or three cubic meters in size.

"Sir, there are four in total, each with an internal space of two to three cubic meters," the steward reported in a low voice.

"The total cost was... 46,000 gold dragons."

Ron nodded. The price was reasonable; it was the typical price for regular-sized spatial equipment.

Only the larger ones can be sold at auction for a high price.

Ron had placed an order with the caravan before setting off for War Sheep Island to purchase the goods in the southern city, and they should be arriving soon.

"good."

Ron accepted the wooden box and took out the remaining gold coins from his storage space, handing them to the steward.

"Thanks for your hard work."

The steward took the money bag and tactfully withdrew.

Lilith peeked out from behind Ron, her eyes fixed on the sparkling ring in the wooden box, a hint of anticipation in her heart.

She asked, feigning calmness:

"Brother, what a beautiful ring! Is it for the sisters?"

Ron grabbed the little pink-haired girl and pulled her into his arms.

He took out a rose gold ring set with pink diamonds, took Lilith's slender hand, and gently placed it on her ring finger.

"This is for you."

Lilith was stunned; she had felt a glimmer of hope when she saw there were four rings.

But when the ring was actually on her finger, her heart started pounding.

She had seen a caravan manager wearing one when she was a mercenary, and she had also heard that noblemen used spatial rings to store treasures, but she never thought that one day she would be able to wear one herself.

"Brother...is this really for me?" Her voice trembled slightly.

"Really! A spatial ring. Let me teach you how to use it."

Ron held her hand and guided her to probe her consciousness into the ring. "Try it, put this handkerchief inside."

Lilith closed her eyes and did as Ron said. The handkerchief disappeared from her hand and appeared in the space of the ring.

She tried to take it out again, but the handkerchief was back in her hand. After repeating this several times, she finally couldn't hold back anymore, and her eyes reddened.

"Brother, you're so good to me... I never dared to dream of this when I was a mercenary..." Her voice was muffled and nasal.

Ron patted her head: "There are many things I dare not think about in the future. How could I, your man, mistreat you?"

Margaret: ?

Feed me peanuts! Feed me peanuts!!

Ron put one on his own as well, the simplest style, silver-white, inconspicuous.

This ring is a disguise, used to conceal the existence of the small garden.

He put away the remaining two without saying anything, and Lilith didn't ask either.

He just kept putting things in and taking them out of the room, like a child who had just received a new toy.

Ron spent another night resting at Lilith's seaside villa.

They didn't get back to the manor until the next day.

Liulichuan wasn't in the courtyard; Ron found her near the address of the magic tower.

She was focused on discussing rune design with several designers, her back to the door, and didn't see Ron enter.

Liu Lichuan wore a light blue long dress, revealing her delicate and fair collarbone. Her hair was loosely tied back, with a few strands falling beside her ears.

Holding a roll of blueprints, she bent down and occasionally drew with a pen. In the morning light and shadow, she appeared intellectual and gentle.

It would be even better if you wore glasses.

Ron waved his hand, and the other designers immediately left, only then did Liulichuan realize what was happening and turn to look at the door.

Ron was leaning against the doorframe, looking at him with a faint smile.

"You're back?"

Her voice was flat, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Ron walked over and hugged Liulichuan from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder and placing his hands on her lower abdomen to embrace her.

Liulichuan also placed her small hand on Ron's large, broad hand.

But the next moment she felt something cold slip onto her finger.

Looking down in confusion, I saw a silver-white ring with a pale blue gemstone set in it, its surface gleaming softly in the light filtering through the pillars.

He took her hand and slowly put the ring on her ring finger.

"I'll give you the smaller one first," Ron chuckled.

"I've noticed you've been quite busy lately; having a spatial device would be much more convenient."

Liu Lichuan lowered his head, looked at the ring, and remained silent for a few moments.

She tried it, putting the blueprints on the table in and taking them out again, her movements as practiced as if she had used them for many years.

There was a barely perceptible glint in Liulichuan's eyes—she had grown up in the Golden Rose family, seen many good things, and also lost everything.

This was the first time someone had ever put a ring on my finger so carefully.

"Thanks."

She turned around and leaned against his chest. Her voice was very soft, as if afraid it would be blown away by the wind.

Ron held her tighter and didn't say anything.

The two stayed quietly in the room for a while until they heard Dick urging the craftsman in the distance, at which point they let go of each other's hands.

Ron went to inspect the progress of the castle, while Liulichuan stood there watching his departing figure.

He glanced down at the ring on his finger again, and finally couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Inside the main hall, Elise and Perrin were discussing the castle's interior design around a long table.

She hasn't returned to the Waterfront Castle recently; she's been staying at the manor. Once the castle is completed, all the women will have to move in.

Fortunately, they get along quite well now and can occasionally discuss the style and design of the castle together.

Several design drawings were spread out on the table, showing the styles and dimensions of curtains, carpets, and fireplaces.

Elise was wearing a light purple dress that revealed a section of her fair neck, and she was pointing at a blueprint and speaking earnestly.

Palin stood beside him, occasionally jotting down notes:

"Madam, look at the decorations on this fireplace... are they carved into floral vines or some other pattern?"

"Flower vines, something softer."

"The color of that carpet..."

"Deep red base with gold trim. Matches the stone walls of the hall."

Ron glanced at the blueprints.

The castle's interior design was far more exquisite than he had imagined, clearly showing considerable thought and effort had been put into it. He looked at Elise and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

Elise smiled and didn't say anything, but the weariness in her eyes was mostly swept away by those words.

Little Pink Hair didn't quite understand the interior design of the castle, while Liulichuan was busy building the magic tower.

Ultimately, the main tasks fell to Elise.

Ron took out the last ring—a gold one set with amethyst—and handed it to her.

Elise took it, then paused for a moment. Being of noble birth herself, she naturally recognized the spatial ring.

She was touched after receiving it, and I guess she would agree to have another party with Ron.

After spending time with Elise.

In the afternoon, Ron went to the castle construction site.

Kraft was standing on the scaffolding directing the craftsmen laying the slate pattern on the floor. Seeing Ron approaching, he quickly climbed down and brushed the dust off his clothes.

"My lord, the castle is now fully completed. The outer walls, towers, moat, and drawbridge have all passed inspection."

"The interior decoration has also been completed under the arrangement of the ladies. It's mostly finished, and we just need to wait for the furniture to be purchased before we can move in."

Ron nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, no supernatural power was as useful as money.

I followed Kraft around the castle.

The stones of the outer wall fit together perfectly, and the arrow slits and battlements on the towers are neat and uniform. Standing on the highest tower, the entire territory can be seen.

Farmland, small towns, and the thick smoke from brick kilns and salt mines in the distance all unfolded before my eyes.

The moat draws water from the Qingshui River, its surface shimmering. The suspension bridge is heavy and sturdy, strong enough to withstand any conventional attack when raised.

"Can we move in in five days?" Ron asked as he walked.

Kraft considered for a moment and replied cautiously, "Yes, but the serfs will have to work overtime."

"Then let's move in five days. Let the serfs suffer a little longer, and let Dick keep an eye on things."

Kraft nodded quickly:

"Yes, sir!"
