Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

The original plan was for Lin Gui and Elvia to ambush the Star Transport Team in Spirit Taming Valley and rescue Levy.

But the appearance of the great sage disrupted everything.

Whether the great sage will keep his promise remains to be seen.

Lin Gui still remembers the smile on the old man's face when he agreed to release the people.

That smile didn't seem like a promise; it was more like a condescending handout, something that could be taken back at any time.

So Lin Gui changed his plans.

He no longer intended to forcibly save Levy.

Instead, they went to the City of a Thousand Towers first, waited for the Star Transport Team to arrive, and then monitored the situation and adapted accordingly.

Having just agreed to the conditions, the Great Sage didn't want to lay a hand on Levy again, nor did he want to experience the monster's rage once more.

The arrival of the Star Transport Team was a signal that Lin Gui could proceed to the next stop.

The signing for the letters was basically completed several days ago.

Even if he didn't draw that necromancy spell, he planned to stay in Green Shade Court for a few days to wait for information from the Star Transport Team.

Now that the intelligence has arrived, they can head to Thousand Towers ahead of time and wait for the Star Transport Team to arrive.

Lin Gui folded the list and put it in his pocket, thanked the branch president, and turned to leave the Transportation Guild.

He crossed the street, past the familiar shops and stalls, and returned to the post office entrance.

He glanced at the mailbox by the door first.

The mailbox was empty; there were no new letters inside.

During the time he was out gathering intelligence, no one sent him any letters.

He pushed open the door to the post office, walked past the counter, and went up the stairs to his bedroom on the second floor.

Standing by the bed, he reached for the duffel bag on the bedside table, ready to start packing.

Then his gaze inadvertently swept across the window.

I saw the backyard of the post office, piled high with boxes.

Lin Gui's hand froze in mid-air.

He blinked and glanced at it again.

The wooden crates in the backyard were stacked three or four layers high, some almost touching the second-floor windowsill, and others still more than half a person's height.

The boxes varied in size, and some were even open, revealing the fabric and hems of clothing stuffed inside.

Lin Gui: "???"

He put down his bag, turned around and went downstairs, quickly walked through the corridor, and pushed open the back door.

backyard.

There were more wooden crates than he had seen earlier.

Piled up from the corner of the wall to the fence, and from the fence to the steps in front of the back door, layer upon layer, densely packed.

Several boxes had their lids open, revealing folded long dresses and coats inside, brightly colored and made of thick fabric.

Among those wooden crates, Elvia was holding up a deep purple dress and gesturing to herself.

She looked left and right, then turned to face the sunlight to examine the folds of her skirt, her expression as serious as if she were appreciating a work of art.

Lin Gui was shocked.

"You—"

His voice rose a few decibels.

"How many clothes did you buy?"

Elvia turned her head, glanced at him, then turned back to continue gesturing at the long dress, her tone as casual as if she were discussing what to have for dinner.

"Not many, just these few boxes."

Lin Gui glanced at the mountain of wooden crates and his lips twitched.

How many boxes?

It looks like they've emptied out the entire Green Fields area.

He knew about Elvia's obsession with clothes and dressing up.

But this is just too outrageous!

Tens of thousands of ready-made garments?

During the time he was receiving the letter, he did see Elvia, leading a wagon loaded with boxes and moving them to the back.

But he thought it was just a few normal shopping trips.

He could understand why the Seventh Princess, who hadn't experienced the life of a princess in a long time, made a fortune in Copper Gate City and impulsively spent it at Green Shade Court.

After all, Green Court is a well-known city for fashion design.

What he didn't expect was that, in the short time he wasn't paying attention, she had filled the entire backyard?

"How about this one?"

Elvia lifted her long dress in front of her and tilted her head to look at him.

"Does this color suit me?"

Lin Gui opened his mouth, then closed it again.

He looked at the smiling face, then at the mountain of wooden crates, pointing at them, his voice a little dry.

"Aren't you going to explain?"

Elvia lowered her long dress, walked up to him, and stood very close.

His golden eyes curved slightly, and a deliberately exaggerated, ambiguous smile played at the corners of his mouth.

"I bought it with my own money."

She reached out and gently tapped Lin Gui's chest with her fingertips.

"What, do you think I wasted money?"

She took a half step back, opened her arms, and spun around.

The deep purple skirt spun around her feet, like a blooming dark flower.

"With such a beautiful face and such a great figure—"

She deliberately puffed out her chest, then turned to the side and patted the beautiful curve of her waist.

"Only the clothes here can bring out my beauty."

She leaned closer, her lips almost touching his earlobe, her voice low and soft.

"And, I picked out a few... really sexy linings for you."

"See, am I good to you?"

Lin Gui was not moved by this.

He wasn't swayed by her words, nor was he distracted by the heat.

After calming down, he frowned.

He then turned sideways, walked past Elvia, and headed towards the nearest wooden crate.

He squatted down and reached out to lift the lid of the box.

A row of neatly stacked clothes was inside the wooden box.

He parted the top layer of fabric, revealing what was underneath.

It was a dark uniform, with a clean cut and smooth fabric.

It looks very simple, without any unnecessary decorations.

This outfit... Lin Gui recognized it.

It's the school uniform of the Thousand Towers Royal Magic Academy, made of a specially crafted dark-patterned fabric.

It may look ordinary, but every inch of it has been meticulously crafted.

The lining has fine and neat stitching, and there is a barely noticeable silver piping at the collar and cuffs.

The gold trim on the skirt is made of real gold.

The problem is that everyone below is wearing the same school uniform.

It's impossible for Elvia to buy school uniforms, especially the same ones.

Lin Gui instantly understood what had happened.

Did Elvia take on a side job? Delivering clothes?

Behind him, Elvia's delicate body pressed against him.

A warm, soft touch pressed against his back through his clothes.

Two arms wrapped around his shoulders from behind, their fingertips gently resting on his collarbone.

Her chin rested on his shoulder, her lips brushed against his earlobe, and her voice was as soft as a feather falling into water.

Elvia chuckled as she looked at the magic academy uniform in the wooden box.

"What's wrong?"

Her warm breath brushed against his ear.

"You want me to wear this tonight?"

Her eyes gleamed with a mischievous light, like a cat that had stolen a fish.
