My Beautiful Duchess Wife

However, the Luoling River truly presents a highly mobile business opportunity.

The entire Luoling River truly runs through two great empires. Moreover, using boats saves a considerable amount of time. It would be extremely convenient for commerce.

Standing beside the large clock at the top of the clock tower, Lin Peng was thinking about this matter.

Medusa, standing to one side, seemed to have fallen into a daze as she gazed at the river. Little Dragon, however, looked at the sailboats, which were at most two masts, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Lin Peng, when can we get a boat like this? Hehe, I really like boats like this!" Xiao Long pursed his lips, as if considering whether it was necessary to just steal one.

Lin Peng had certainly considered Xiao Long's request. However, he didn't know how to build ships. He had built many motorboats, but he really didn't know much about sailboats like this.

Medusa, standing nearby, seemed to have thought of something. After glancing at Lin Peng, she said, "Actually, I can build ships, but it seems impossible for one person. With help, we can build a ship ourselves! And it will definitely be better than this one!"

Lin Peng was taken aback; he really hadn't expected Medusa to be able to build a ship. She had been staying in Darkmoon City, and now that she had found him, she had actually come to his aid.

Sometimes, Lin Peng really wondered if that black mist possessed some kind of mysterious power, perhaps able to know what he needed right now?

Shaking his head, Lin Peng grinned and said, "Sure, as long as you can produce the blueprints, I'll be the first to help you build a ship. Hehe, trust my weapon-forging skills. I'll definitely forge an extremely sturdy ship!"

Medusa nodded and began to descend. Lin Peng and Xiao Long exchanged a glance, both looking extremely excited. Just then, a soldier ran up, bowed slightly to Lin Peng, and loudly reported, "Young Master Arthur has arrived, General. Shall we receive him?"

These soldiers were none other than Deacon's three thousand men. Each and every one of them was, of course, an elite force. However, no matter how many times it had been told, they still always listened to the three centurions. They still addressed themselves as generals, but refused to call themselves guild leader.

However, "General" is fine, at least it's much better than calling him "town mayor" directly.

She nodded slightly, and then followed the guard downstairs.

Xiao Long was quite bored, so he followed in Lin Peng's footsteps.

When Lin Peng brought Xiao Long into the reception room, Arthur was standing by a floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the Luo Ling River. His eyes revealed a mixture of envy and admiration.

This environment, and the shops that were slowly opening on the streets, certainly made this man with an air of superiority envious. The Punishment City now probably had far more fighting power than Moonlight Town.

However, even the current prosperity of Moonlight Town is incomparable to that of Punishment City.

This was something Arthur understood very well, and something he had been insisting on all along. Turning back to Lin Peng, he gave a wry smile: "Lin Peng, Moonlight Town is much better than Punishment City!"

Lin Peng smiled faintly and sat down on an extremely comfortable sofa. Everything in this manor hadn't changed since he arrived.

However, everything from that small dock to the other items—even the food—seemed brand new. These were Lin Peng's greatest gains so far.

Compared to creating a lot of Dark Gold Coins, these things are more practical.

Facing the Luo Ling River, Lin Peng opened the bottle of red wine on the coffee table, swirled it, and poured Arthur a bottle: "Actually, this town really owes a lot to you! Hehe... So, how about it, Punishment City still has quite a few complaints about me, right?"

Since Arthur was able to come, it shows that, at least for now, Punishment City hasn't considered attacking Moongate Town. At the same time, it also made Lin Peng think that perhaps this was all thanks to Arthur.

I asked casually, just to test the waters.

Arthur took a small sip of red wine and chuckled, "Heh... Lin Peng, you really can't hide anything from me! Actually, it's not a big problem, it's just that my second brother caused this!"

Lin Peng was aware of Ma Si'er's existence, of course. He lowered his head and smiled, which was considered a acknowledgment.

The two had a very good understanding. They also knew that this only needed to be mentioned briefly. They absolutely shouldn't say anything more.

"Lin Peng, you still have to reserve some space for our Punishment City in Moonlight Town! But let me make this clear first, we really don't have any money!"

Arthur chuckled, then said somewhat sheepishly. The City of Punishment always found it rather awkward to talk about money.

Lin Peng smiled and nodded, while Xiao Long beside him kept chugging a bottle of red wine down his throat. His fair face was now slightly flushed.

They look extremely cute.

Lin Peng, holding his wine glass, slowly stood up. He walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window; the view from there wasn't as expansive as from the clock tower.

But it really had a unique charm. A faint, friendly smile played at the corners of his lips. He nodded slightly and chuckled, "Actually, I've already thought of it for you! However, it can only be you or your people. Fario, well, that works too! This is a true gathering place for merchants. Imagine what it will be like in two months, when spring is in full bloom. Don't you think merchants will need a lot of bodyguards then? Being a mercenary wouldn't be so bad, would it?"

Arthur was overjoyed. It seemed that Lin Peng had already considered his actual needs.

Being a merchant in Punishment City is definitely not an option. After all, with so many wandering knights, they might risk their lives to rob, but asking them to do business?

It seems... a bit disappointing!

After all, neither of them are cut out for this!

The leader was surely aware of this. Arthur's gaze towards Lin Peng at this moment was filled with profound gratitude. It was clear that the poverty of Sin City had truly penetrated their hearts, as people from their own community knew each other's plight.

"Huh? Dirk's here too!" Little Dragon shook his head and looked out the window. At the same time, he opened the window and a dragon's roar immediately followed.

The dragon's roar was high-pitched and carried a hint of excitement. You see, when Lin Peng first came here, it was always Dirk who played with this guy.

Their relationship is perhaps truly exceptionally good.

At this moment, Little Dragon wanted to transform into a giant dragon and fly towards Dirk. However, he seemed to have lost the ability to transform. He could only jump around and shout towards Dirk, "Derek... Dirk, I'm here! I'm Little Dragon!"

As they spoke, dragon roars echoed throughout. The enormous echoes and the oppressive aura caused the merchants on the streets below the hillside to tremble.

Everyone turned to look at the manor, their eyes filled with fear. Even Arthur was stunned.

He truly hadn't expected that Lin Peng actually kept a dragon. A dragon! What immense power that was! Even a dragon was helping this guy.

This guy... is really... incredibly lucky!

Besides envy, Arthur couldn't think of any other words. Meanwhile, on the street, Dirk, leading an old wildebeest, seemed to have spotted the little dragon as well.

Standing on the street, he waved his arms vigorously towards the manor. Behind him, Lin Peng smiled faintly. He thought to himself: What a pleasant life! I just wonder how much longer it will last!

Chapter 53 Super Attire

After a month, the auction finally began. And the prized possession was said to be the winning piece from the legendary weapon-refining competition: the "Brothers in Arms" seven-piece set!

This time, the promotion for the seven-piece brother set has been greatly intensified. However, the older generation certainly doesn't care about this. But the younger generation can't help but be excited.

These seven pieces of equipment are just what they need right now. Either their strength is too low, still at the Demon King level, or they are a Great Demon King who hasn't broken through to the Demon Emperor level.

It's safe to say that using such a near-divine artifact set is incredibly powerful. Even for a Demon Emperor level character, using such a set wouldn't be a waste.

The auction was held in a former arena in Moonlight Town, which resembled a gladiatorial arena. However, after Brooke's arrangement and adjustments, it was practically an indoor football stadium.

The scene was so grand that even Lin Peng was somewhat excited. Below, Brooke was trembling with excitement, as if he had encountered something that made him so happy he was about to go mad.

"Sigurd, Miken, do you think we'll become famous if the seven-piece brother set sells for a sky-high price this time?" Lin Peng asked excitedly, looking at the two men who were equally excited.

"Needless to say? This is absolutely a golden opportunity for the three of us to make a name for ourselves. We just didn't expect you to actually put it up for auction! Haha... A while ago, when we asked you to auction it at the capital, why did you refuse? You even said you had the bigger share and we should listen to you!"

"For a young and ambitious weapon refiner, being worshipped as a true grandmaster is an extremely confidence-boosting thing," said Sigula somewhat dejectedly.

Now that they have this opportunity, of course they all rushed over.

"Haha, if you ask me, Lin Peng's only motivation is those women. I think you just want to attract the attention of all the major powers! Hehe... Speaking of which, your duke is really something. Oh, and that princess is quite nice too. This... you can't have both of them!"

Miken became extremely excited when he mentioned this. Even last time, when Sigurd invited the two of them to Sky City, Miken had a blast.

Lin Peng's lips twitched slightly, and his eyes flashed with anger as he looked at Mike. Mike immediately shut his mouth.

At this moment, an item was slowly being pushed onto the auction stage below. It was covered by a small, silver-white metal cover, and no one knew what it was.

The woman who pushed the cart up, however, was absolutely seductive. Her figure was curvaceous and her clothing extremely sexy. She inspired a strong urge to have her immediately, and some men with particularly strong hormones even started shouting.

Of course, Lin Peng also designed this bunny girl outfit. Paired with the succubus's figure, although the smoky makeup doesn't seem entirely satisfactory, the overall look is still quite good.

Mike's eyes lit up immediately. He seemed to be drooling. Without even glancing at Lin Peng, he muttered, "Where did they get such a gem? It's incredible! She's even better than those women in Sky City!"

Even Sigura, standing nearby, stared in shock at what lay below. The succubus's two rabbit-like ears and the rabbit tail atop her pert buttocks were incredibly sexy.

It seems to evoke a desire for conquest.

It's obvious that this was added to the clothing.

Turning to Lin Peng, she asked with some confusion, "Lin Peng, did Brooke bring all of these? It seems that none of the people I saw that day were wearing these."

Upon hearing this, Mike immediately looked at Lin Peng.

It seemed as if he was about to find such a perfect match. His eyes instantly turned into heart shapes. This gave Lin Peng goosebumps that felt like they were about to pop out!

Lin Peng sat up straight, chuckled, and pointed to himself: "Tell me, who else but me could come up with such a brilliant idea? Do you think I'm unworthy of such wisdom?"

Both Sigura and Miken were stunned. Lin Peng had always seemed uninterested in other women, and seemed to know very little about them.

Such clothing is something only someone who lives among flowers could come up with.

Especially Miken, who looked Lin Peng up and down, then burst into laughter: "I didn't know you were such a closet pervert! You've always wanted the Duke and Princess to wear it for you, haven't you? Haha... If they wore it, it would definitely be... uh..."

Seeing the flaming fist right in front of him, Miken immediately stopped talking. He even grinned somewhat embarrassedly and sat down.

Sigula, however, looked at Lin Peng even more closely, as if searching for some flaw.

Lin Peng suppressed his anger, forcing a wry smile; it was truly difficult to explain. It was just that Brooke had brought several succubi with her that day, so seeing their sexiness immediately reminded him of those outfits. Thinking about it now, it all seemed strange.

When did I come up with the idea of ​​wearing this kind of clothing?

Next, Brooke tapped the table, as if announcing a pause on the boring talk and the start of the real auction! Pointing to the cover, the bunny girl slowly opened it, revealing a scimitar that looked to be an absolute top-tier magical weapon.

The entire scimitar has a perfect curve. If swung, it would be an absolutely first-rate weapon. Moreover, it faintly emits a red glow.

It seemed as if it were burning at any moment.

"I'm sure you can all guess that this is a top-tier magical weapon without me having to say anything. Moreover, it's modeled after the Seven Brothers set. Heh... As for its functions, I'm too lazy to explain them here. Why don't we just try it out?" As a merchant, Brook certainly had a talent for speaking.

Without any unnecessary pleasantries, she got straight to the point, immediately capturing everyone's interest. Then, the bunny girl promptly picked up the curved knife.

The succubus's talent and strength are known throughout the demon realm. It absolutely cannot surpass the Demon King's power. And this succubus is at most a mid-level demon.

Slowly raising the curved blade, though not very large, only about 1.2 meters long, it seemed extremely heavy. The succubus wielded it with great difficulty, then swung it fiercely at a wall that appeared to be protected by a barrier or something similar.

In an instant, the flames transformed into a dragon's head, three or four meters wide, like a roaring dragon, and shot out.

The wall suddenly turned a fiery red.

It was something far superior to those testing stones. An impenetrable barrier! This was something only a grandmaster-level alchemist could create; as long as one didn't reach the level of a Demon Emperor, it could block everything.

Moreover, it can directly test what level of power it is.

Judging from the current situation, it's at least a scimitar imbued with demon-king level magic. That kind of magic alone makes it an extremely powerful weapon.

The people below were all beaming with excitement. The atmosphere was instantly stirred up.

The demons in the VIP rooms couldn't help but glance over. If they could get their hands on such a weapon, they could definitely unleash its true power, right?

However, it seems that if it's too expensive, it would be funny if you didn't have enough money for the seven-piece set below!

Immediately, those people in the VIP rooms all painfully suppressed their desires!

The price of 100,000 Dark Gold Coins was instantly inflated to 300,000 Dark Gold Coins. Moreover, it was traded immediately. Even Lin Peng hadn't anticipated such an outcome.
