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

Inside the study, Fulin and his siblings sat around the steaming coffee table, sharing recent news.

Because Serme needs to lead a series of matters related to newly launched new technology communication equipment, he has been working overtime lately recently, and has therefore, unusually, missed dinner.

"Let me tell you about that dark mage first."

Anya took a sip of tea, projected the intelligence into the air, and said, "After interrogation, we can confirm that the other party and that dark mage in Clorenza should belong to the same organization."

"This organization is very mysterious and has colluded with the demons... Just as Little Shiloh guessed, they have the mark of Slaanesh on their bodies. However, this mark is equivalent to a degraded version of the Mark of Slaanesh, and it should be possible to break it with some time."

"As for that eldest son of the Zorc family..."

When Elvis was mentioned, Anya's eyes flashed with a cold light as she said, "It's obvious that he met with people from the organization behind the scenes, and they just used him as a disposable pawn."

“There are very obvious traces of mind control in his body, and they were imprinted within a month.”

Upon hearing this timeframe, Shiloh raised an eyebrow and asked, "Back in the time of the Water City of Hifiel?"

"Well, based on the previous intelligence, it seems that the organization behind the scenes sent people to kill Stewart to silence him, and then coerced Elvis into joining them in some way, making him a pawn in their game."

However, these scoundrels never expected my brother to be so capable, able to thwart all their underhanded tricks.

When talking about this, Anya's face was filled with a proud smile. She took Xiluo's hand and rubbed it gently in her soft palm.

On the other side, Flint rubbed his temples. The young couple's public displays of affection were getting a bit cloying for the old man—although he and Serme might have been even more so in their youth, this was, after all, a serious matter. He cleared his throat and said:

"Alright, alright, enough chit-chat. In short, we need to extort information from those two as quickly as possible, and increase security at the prison to prevent those mad dogs from sneaking in and silencing us. Shiloh, or rather, our Wells family, has become a major threat in their eyes."

But as long as they keep going, they will inevitably be exposed one day. At that point, their lives will be over.

Fulin shook his head, his tone somewhat wistful.

After learning that Shiloh suspected the mastermind might be the heir to the throne, Flynn felt very sad.

No matter what, they were all children he had watched grow up. Even Meredith, who had the deepest conflict with Shilo, was not without affection in Flynn's eyes.

It's truly disheartening that some of these nephews and nieces would want to exterminate the Wells family.

Shiloh also sensed the emotional fluctuations in Fulin's body. He sighed softly, patted his father's shoulder, and said, "Look on the bright side. If such a person were to ascend the throne, it would surely be a disaster for the entire empire and the human world. Let's just consider him... as someone whose heart has been corrupted by the evil god of the abyss."

After a few moments of silence, Flint gripped Shiloh's shoulders, his gaze deep and intense.

"The effect of the [Skaven's Mark] is indeed to corrupt the mind of the subject, and you seem to have assumed the suspect to be male... But child, have you considered the possibility that the subject is also being controlled by someone or working for someone else?"

Flint's words startled Shiloh. He had considered this possibility, but the thought was quickly dismissed after flashing through his mind.

After all, if this conjecture is correct, then...

Xi Luo remained silent, while Fu Lin's eyes showed a hint of heartache, and the strength in his hand unconsciously increased slightly: "Child, if that time really comes, you must remember what you said and believe that the other party's mind has been possessed by an evil god."

"Don't feel any guilt. Killing him is helping him find a way out."

Chapter 164 Elena Wants to Become Stronger! (Regular updates will resume tomorrow)

Xi Luo knew what her father meant, but to be honest, she really didn't think the mastermind was among the three princesses... Although it might seem a bit emotional to say this, it was her intuition.

Seeing this, Flint didn't say much, but simply patted Silo on the shoulder again.

Fulin knew his child's personality all too well; almost nothing could shake Shiloh's resolve, except... feelings.

The last time Otivia broke off the engagement, although Shiloh appeared calm on the surface, Flint knew he was heartbroken.

"You don't need to worry about the marriage alliance. If you really don't want to, I will talk to His Majesty."

Flint really didn't want to see Shilo get hurt again. Given his personality, it would be incredibly difficult for Otivia to get back together with him. But Zeno had always been like a boy, and Shilo probably only felt friendship towards her. It would be quite awkward to arrange a marriage between them.

Upon hearing this, Xi Luo shook his head and said, "I will handle it myself, don't worry."

"Sigh... Since you've put it that way, then you can handle it yourself. But if you need any help, be sure to let us know, understand?"

"Understood, Father."

His father's concern warmed Xi Luo's heart. Seeing that it was getting late, he got up to leave.

"My mother should be back soon, so I won't bother her any longer."

After saying this, Shiloh and Anya bid farewell to Flint.

Walking along the garden path, a cool night breeze brushed against his face. Xi Luo exhaled a heavy breath, gazing at the bright moon in the distant night sky, and fell into a long silence.

"what happened?"

Seeing this, Anya stepped forward, took Xiluo's hand, and asked softly.

"I have a feeling... something big is about to happen."

Xi Luo frowned slightly, unusually uneasy, as if some ominous thing was about to happen.

Upon hearing this, Anya tightened her grip on Xiluo's hand, moved closer to his body, and tried to dispel the night chill with the warmth of her body. She whispered in his ear, "No matter what happens, I will stay by your side and protect you."

As she finished speaking, Anya tightened her grip slightly, and whispered as if making a promise, "This time, I will definitely not let anyone hurt you."

The strength in her hands spoke of Anya's determination. Xi Luo smiled and pulled his sister into his arms, pressing his face against her smooth, pretty face, gently inhaling the quiet fragrance of her hair, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, sister."

Anya's eyes softened as she gently stroked Xiluo's head, just like when they were children, but now he was much taller than her...

After an unknown amount of time, Shiloh slightly separated from Anya and smiled at her.

"You should get some rest."

"Yeah, you too... cough, don't stay up too late."

Anya blushed slightly and added a sentence before turning and walking towards the main house.

After watching Anya leave, Shiloh walked towards his small villa.

But just as they approached the villa, several clanging sounds suddenly rang out, causing Xi Luo to raise his eyebrows in confusion.

The frequency and intensity of this sound... it doesn't seem like an enemy attack, but rather like a sparring match?

Who could it be so late?

Shiloh found it strange that Cecilia had recently needed to resonate with and gain insight into some kind of predestined opportunity, so she would go back to her room early every day to meditate.

It seems that no one else would practice sword fighting late at night besides her.

Driven by curiosity, Shiloh quickened his pace to the training ground behind the villa, parted the decorative bushes, and peered into the field.

"Ok?"

When he saw the two beautiful figures practicing in the arena, Xi Luo opened his mouth in surprise; this was truly unexpected.

Irene and Fufro sat on small stools to the side, holding various recovery potions and towels, watching Elena in the arena with worried expressions.

Elena, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, is sparring with Cecilia, and the situation is clearly one-sided.

"drink--!"

Elena roared and vanished in a blur, then reappeared behind Cecilia and slashed down at her.

However, Cecilia unsurprisingly parried the attack. But to her surprise, the clashing blades vanished the instant they touched, and the sharp edge struck her neck at an incredible angle!

Cecilia remained calm in the face of this strange thrust. She simply shifted her feet and narrowly missed the target. Then, she grabbed Elena's wrist and launched a swift and heavy blow to her abdomen with the hilt of her sword!

"Pfft—"

Elena opened her mouth in pain, pressing the blade to the ground to prevent herself from collapsing completely.

"Cough cough..."

After Cecilia landed her blow, she took a few steps back, and her gaze toward Elena held a hint of appreciation and approval.

"Your body is almost at its limit. Let's stop here for today."

After saying that, Cecilia prepared to sheath her sword, but seeing Elena's stubborn expression, she sighed and said, "The effect of training in a day is limited, and overtraining is not a good thing. Besides, even if you don't care about yourself, Shilo will."

bang-

Cecilia casually tossed the greatsword into the weapon barrel next to her, patted Elena on the shoulder, causing Elena's legs, which had just been propped up, to buckle again, almost causing her to stumble.

"Hey!"

Elena glared at Cecilia resentfully; she was certain that Cecilia was doing it on purpose!

However, for the first time, Cecilia found Elena somewhat agreeable when she was breathing heavily.

"Isn't that pretty capable?"

Cecilia smiled appreciatively and praised her with her hands on her hips.

Elena paused for a moment, then snorted and said, "Do you even need to tell me?"

Perhaps feeling that her attitude was a bit too cold, Elena bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Thank you anyway for helping me with the training so late."

"It's nothing, we're all family."

Cecilia waved her hand and said, "The enemies we encounter later will only become more and more terrifying. I know that none of you want to become Shilo's weakness, so I'm glad to see that you all have a strong motivation to become stronger."

Cecilia's smile seemed to glow with a divine light in the night, making her appear both pure and holy.

If they hadn't fought side by side several times and witnessed her despicable appearance firsthand, Elena would have been completely fooled by her "holy face."

"Sister Elena, healing potion."

After the special training ended, Irene, her body aching, ran to Elena's side and quickly handed her the healing potion.

Elena thanked her, but instead of using the medicine, she put it into her personal space.

"Fool, instead of using treatment potions, it's faster to just go find Shilo."

Chapter 165 Siege of the Evil Dragon Shiro! (Two Chapters Combined)

As night deepened, and given that the college was closed tomorrow, indulging a little tonight wouldn't be a big problem.

Moreover, this is also part of the training, since the life energy in Shilo's body is a very precious restorative essence.

Elena, who had arranged a time with her best friends, decided to sneak a taste of Shiloh a little early, before the others, after taking a nice bath.

But as soon as she stepped out the door, Elena was blocked and forced to return.

"Eh?"

He initially thought Cecilia had discovered his little trick and was blocking the door, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the person in front of him was none other than the "evil dragon" Shilo, whom he was to be severely punished that night.

Elena was somewhat bewildered, but her hands and feet had already instinctively wrapped around Shiloh's neck and waist.

Just as Elena was about to speak, Shiloh's kiss landed prematurely, silencing her.

"Hey~"

This kiss was somewhat unique, unlike the domineering ones of the past; tonight it felt exceptionally tender and lingering.

Although Elena prefers the former, no woman would not enjoy the tenderness her lover shows her.

Elena was thus captivated by Shiro's tenderness, and he carried her step by step into the room, eventually placing her against the soft bed.

zizi——

The crystal-clear water bridge shimmered under the moonlight, and the enchanting heat and Elena's fragrance filled the entire room, making Shiro unable to help but take deep breaths.

Looking into Shiloh's dark eyes above her, Elena's gaze was unfocused, her swollen lips still damp with moisture, and a few strands of her soft hair clung to them, making her look exceptionally alluring and captivating.

"Did you...see us doing extra training?"

Elena quickly realized the reason for Shiloh's "abnormal" behavior tonight. She tugged at the corners of her mouth, seemingly wanting to make the flirtatious smile she used to give, but in the end, she didn't have the interest, and the smile returned to its original shape.

"I... I just don't want to be seen as your weakness like this. I can't accept myself like this, so I must become stronger."

Elena's expression was serious and earnest, her purple eyes fixed intently on Shiloh's, as she said, word by word, "You know, I've actually been very angry all day. The thought of those people trying to break this family apart makes me..."

After saying that, Elena pursed her lips, then took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I want to kill them all, and before they die, I hope they will experience extreme pain!"

After saying that, Elena stopped talking, looked at Shiloh with some unease, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you think what I'm doing... is a bit too extreme?"

Sylvie smiled slightly, pinched Elena's pretty cheek, and said, "I'm only worried about whether you'll have any psychological trauma after killing those people. Meredith has already been beaten up by me this time, as for Hector..."

Silo raised an eyebrow and said, "Just do as you threatened him with."

Ok?

Elena was puzzled by his words, but after thinking for a moment, she suddenly understood what Shilo meant and laughed in annoyance: "You really intend to steal his woman away?"

"She's not his 'woman,' but his 'goddess.'"

After beating Meredith, Shiloh questioned one of the guards who was close to him and learned what the guard had used as a bargaining chip in his deal with Hector.

In a while, the exchange students from the Elf Kingdom will arrive in the capital. At that time, the Lorthen Magic Academy will send an outstanding student delegation to receive them.

Each seat on the student delegation was extremely valuable; even Hector, the second son of the Chosen Family, couldn't obtain one and had to trade it with Meredith's.
