You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

A mocking smile played on Shiloh's lips as he leaned close to Cecilia's ear and whispered, "But Elena is still a pure young girl, you know~"

The voice, full of wicked humor, made Cecilia's lips part slightly, but she stammered and couldn't utter a word.

Yes, judging from her behavior just now, Miss Elena treated Norman like a stranger, and the two of them probably never had anything intimate.

Cecilia's face turned bright red, and after several minutes, she slowly gritted her teeth and said, "But...didn't you say that you would educate Miss Elena with the elegance of nobility?"

Cecilia's tone, which was as weak as possible but tinged with disdain, was the carefully balanced way she had crafted her words, so that Shiloh wouldn't seize on her attitude and attack her.

Upon hearing this, Xi Luo raised an eyebrow.

After straightening his clothes with his hands, Shilo looked at Cecilia's slightly stubborn eyes and smiled, "Isn't the way nobles dine elegant? But no matter how elegant it is, it doesn't change the fact that it's plundering, does it?"

Cecilia trembled upon hearing this, her emerald eyes instantly conjuring up a multitude of thoughts, leaving her momentarily bewildered.

"Plunder and being plundered is the essence of this world, regardless of one's own will. Even with compassion, plunder can still occur unexpectedly."

As Shiloh spoke calmly, Cecilia's blue eyes widened and narrowed, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

Seeing Cecilia deep in thought, Shiloh chuckled twice, having deliberately uttered those words, before heading into the room.

The two main characters in "Shenyuan" take different growth paths. Cecilia is an ultimate talent monster, but she needs to go through the trials of the mortal world to grow her aspirations and path, which is commonly known as "refining the heart in the mortal world".

What Shiloh just said is one of the questions that Cecilia will later reflect on and question in the story.

After catching Cecilia off guard, Shiloh casually instructed, "Keep an eye on the door, or Elena's training sessions will have to double," before entering the room and closing the door.

The room is very well soundproofed; once the expensive wooden door is closed, all outside noise is completely blocked out.

Elena, who had entered the room early to wait, bowed slightly when she saw Shiro enter with a wicked grin on his face. At the same time, a bad feeling welled up in her heart.

Instinctively sensing the danger, Elena frowned inwardly, wanting to speak first to take control of the conversation.

"you--"

"Where are the preparations to overthrow the Bull family progressed, Miss Elena?"

!! ?

Elena's pupils contracted sharply, and she almost lost her cool and composed expression, a deep horror surging in the depths of her purple eyes!

How could he have known?!

No, calm down, this might just be a test...

Elena calmed the turmoil in her heart, regained her composure, and looked at Shilo with her purple eyes. She then revealed a hint of doubt and asked, "I don't understand what you mean."

The girl's denial was within Xi Luo's expectations. He pretended to look around the room, but in reality, he had already activated the defensive magic runes and magic-blocking runes he wore.

"Miss Elena, lying is not something a nobleman should do."

Shiloh shrugged, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and then proceeded to recount the details of several underground business transactions involving the Bull family as if they were his own treasures.

With each statement she made, Elena's eyes would tremble slightly, revealing a look of disbelief.

Although Shiloh did not reveal any details, the events he mentioned precisely matched her collection of evidence of the Bull family's illegal and criminal activities.

This is enough to prove that this guy wasn't bluffing, but truly knew everything he had done...

Elena's expression turned very serious. After all, she had no accomplices and always acted with utmost caution. How did he know?

Could it be that these people from the capital really have an intelligence network that terrifying...?

Elena clenched her small fists, which trembled with resentment, but she eventually let go with a hint of helplessness. She then took delicate steps and came to stand in front of Shiloh.

"Nothing can be hidden from you, sir... But I have my reasons. Could you please... not tell anyone about this?"

Perhaps because her deeply buried schemes were so easily unearthed, Elena seemed to lose her fighting spirit. Her clear, cold purple eyes revealed grievance and pleading, as if they had turned into a pool of spring water, gently rippling into Shiro's heart.

"Please don't tell anyone... I can do anything."

Seeing that Shiloh's expression did not change at all, Elena bit her lip, suppressing the shame in her heart, and her voice carried a hint of sobbing.

The contrast between the aloof noblewoman's pitiful and coquettish manner made Xi Luo's throat tighten, and his dark eyes gradually deepened.

"Can do everything?"

"Um...please be gentle..."

Seemingly sensing the ill intent in Shiro's words, but unable to resist, Elena could only suppress her shame and humiliation, her eyes narrowed as she suppressed her tears, and with trembling hands, she reached out towards Shiro's chest.

Seeing Shiloh's carefree and unguarded smile, a glint of light flashed in Elena's eyes. Then, as if she had tripped over her own feet, she suddenly lost her balance and fell forward.

As the girl rushed into his arms, Xiluo naturally reached out and held her slender waist.

Feeling the burning sensation on her waist, Elena's body trembled, and her purple eyes showed embarrassment and annoyance.

She always felt that this guy's way of caressing her was somewhat lewd...

However, Elena had already achieved her goal. Shiloh's hands were already on her waist, and the unfathomable knight was not in the room.

At this moment, he was completely unable to mount any effective counterattack!

"Hehe, my lord, you can't easily believe what a beautiful woman says~"

Elena smiled slightly, her smile full of triumph.

She then moved with lightning speed, her fingertips pinching the tip of a blade, which she firmly pressed against Shiloh's throat.

"Don't move. With your strength, I can slit your throat before you even call that woman in."

Elena's previous gentle demeanor vanished, her eyes, once bright and tender, now froze into ice as she coldly stared into Shiloh's dark pupils.

"If you don't want to die, sign this contract, okay?!"

Chapter 22 New Pet Puppy

Shiloh's nimble, long fingers rested on Elena's slender waist. Even with a sharp blade pressed against her throat, the smile on her face remained unchanged. She even tightened her grip on her waist, the force of which made the girl feel a tingling sensation in her body for a moment.

"you!!"

After a brief moment of shock, Elena quickly regained her senses, her pretty face filled with disbelief and embarrassment.

She never expected that this man, whose life was in her hands, would still dare to be so audacious!

"Now! Immediately! Right now! Let go of my hand!"

Elena shouted sharply, but Silo acted as if he hadn't heard her, continuing to slowly caress and feel the beautiful waist in his hands, and even commented, "Hmm~ Miss Elena's waist is indeed both soft and resilient, truly exquisite."

Having said that, Shiloh opened his thumb and traced the muscle lines of Elena, feeling the girl's graceful posture.

Elena's shame and anger intensified at the sight of Shiloh's indifference.

After placing his elbow across the opponent's chest, he thrust forward forcefully, slamming him against the wall and bringing the blade at his fingertips even closer, allowing Xi Luo to clearly feel the chill emanating from it.

"You really think I won't kill you?"

Elena's purple eyes flashed sharply as she sneered, "To avenge my mother, I don't care about my own life. If you die here, the Bull family will be unable to withstand the wrath from the capital. Although I won't survive either, my goal will have been achieved."

Gazing into the quiet madness and resolve burning in Elena's eyes, Shilo smiled slightly, removed his hands from her waist, then raised them in a gesture of surrender, saying, "Oh dear~ don't get so agitated, Miss Elena. But according to you, why don't you just kill me now?"

"If you just let me go like this, I won't pretend that nothing happened regarding your offense."

Shiloh watched Elena with interest, curious about how she would deal with him next.

Upon hearing this, Elena firmly gripped the blade with one hand and pressed it against Shiloh's throat.

With his other hand, he took out a piece of parchment from his storage bag and placed it in front of Shiro.

"Sign it, and you'll survive."

At this point, Elena finally revealed all her fangs.

Having endured years of hardship to dispel Crow's suspicions and plotting a long-term revenge plan, she was no kind woman.

Who would want to give up their life unless absolutely necessary?

For Elena to achieve a complete and thorough revenge against the Bull family, she must destroy them while simultaneously living a full and intact life herself – that is true revenge.

Since Xi Luo was so lustful that she dared to be alone with him in a room, it was no wonder that she seized the opportunity.

Looking at the slave contract laid out before him, Shiloh raised an eyebrow and suddenly broke into a bright smile.

"Well, as expected of my good little dog, he even prepared the tools himself."

Elena frowned at the inexplicable remark, but then her eyes widened in astonishment as she watched Shilo suddenly step forward, deliberately bringing his throat to meet the sharp blade.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, and Elena never expected that Shilo would do something that was tantamount to suicide, she could only retract her blade slightly. Then, to her shock, the blade touched the other's vulnerable throat.

However, the imagined scene of blood splattering did not occur. At the point where the blade met the throat, a dazzling blue light suddenly surged forth, and then—

hum!

A loud bell rang out, and a strong shockwave traveled from the tip of the blade to Elena's body, causing her pupils to constrict and her muscles to tremble uncontrollably. In an instant, she lost all her strength and fell toward the hard ground.

Damn it, is it a defensive amulet?!

Elena had considered this possibility, but her blade was no ordinary blade; it was covered with carefully engraved armor-piercing runes, which, if used properly, could even break through the defenses of some high-level defensive items.

But during that brief encounter, Elena became certain that the amulet Shilo possessed was not only high-level, but possibly even higher...

An epic-level defensive amulet...

Elena slumped to the ground, her back hunched, her arms hanging limply. The blade and slave contract she held in her hands were scattered around her.

Looking down at Elena, who had just been so confident of victory, Shilo calmly patted his collar and sneered, "My father is the Grand Duke of Magic of the Empire, and my mother is a professor of magical artifacts at the academy. If you want to threaten me, you'd at least have something capable of harming someone at the [Void Realm] level, right?"

"Otherwise, well, it would be a bit of a laughing stock."

With a light laugh, Shiloh bent down, pinched Elena's delicate chin, and slowly lifted her pretty face, then revealed a satisfied smile.

"Ha, what a fine expression, Elena."

Elena's dark purple hair was damp with sweat and was now slightly disheveled, clinging to her delicate face.

That cool and proud pretty face was now filled with resentment.

Her pearly teeth left a mark on her lips. Looking at the teasing and mocking look in Xi Luo's eyes, the girl trembled with anger. She wanted to shake her face away, but under the influence of the defensive amulet, she had no strength and could only let the other's fingers play with her.

"Oh dear, why does it still look like it wants to bite? This won't do."

Silo frowned and shook his head, his thumb playfully fiddling with Elena's tender lips, parting them to examine her translucent canine teeth, as if... he really treated her like a pet dog.

"Shameless...despicable...!"

Elena trembled slightly and said in a hateful voice.

Elena was extremely dissatisfied with the way she lost.

As she is about to break through to the [Silver Mist Stage], even ten more Xilos wouldn't be enough for her to fight.

Shiloh merely smiled at Elena's hostile attitude, then stood up, kicked the slave contract to her feet, and said, "Sign it, and you can take your revenge."

Similar words came from Shiloh's mouth, but at this moment the balance of power between the two had completely reversed, causing Elena's pearly teeth to embed even more into her crimson lips.

"I'm only giving you three seconds. If you don't sign... well, you don't want your mother's grave to be vandalized, do you?"

"you?!"

Elena looked up abruptly, her eyes filled with shock and anger.

Although she wasn't sure if Shiloh really knew where her mother was buried, she didn't dare gamble.

"I...sign."

Chapter 23 At this moment, Elena's life was completely ruined.

As Elena signed her name on the slave contract, an inexplicable sense of bondage arose within her, binding her to Shiloh, and her body instinctively felt a sense of submission.

"Master..."

Elena bit her lip, her cool face filled with humiliation, but under Silo's indifferent gaze, she still lowered her upper body and touched her forehead to the back of her hands, which were stacked on the floor.

Seeing Elena's defiant expression, Shiloh chuckled and walked to the edge of the bed, then casually stretched out his legs, raised his chin at the girl, and said, "Crawl over here."

Humiliation, humiliation that is not concealed.

Elena's face burned and her teeth clenched, but bound by the contract, she had no choice but to obediently crawl over on her knees, even if she didn't want to comply.

Elena is more like an elegant cat than a puppy.

Hidden beneath her black dress, her fair knees crawled on the hard floor, an uncontrollable blush spreading across them.

The crossed hands, touching the ground and overlapping each other in a line as she moved forward, accentuated Elena's slender waist, creating a seductive curve.

Until Elena crawled between Shiloh's legs, kneeling upright with her back straight, her black dress stretched taut by the full moon beneath it, Shiloh wanted to lift it up to see what was inside.
