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

Of course, for protection reasons, the place of inheritance will not be open to the public until the strength of future generations reaches a certain level.

Fortunately, Irene's current [Steps to the Void] are just barely enough to qualify for activating the inheritance.

Inside the carriage, Shiloh made Irene a cup of tea and asked, "How does it feel?"

Irene shook her head, her eyes filled with disgust: "Fake, shoddy, it's so fake."

Or rather, neither Khaledel nor some other nobles had any intention of performing.

After all, since Irene's father died, these people have not had the slightest thought of clearing his name. There is not a trace of letters or videos that could serve as evidence. Who would believe you if you say you feel guilty now?

As for what Kaledel said, most of it was just for show. He wanted to make Shiloh and the others hesitate because of the greater good by talking about his achievements during the Cataclysm.

But does this work?

If Xi Luo were a proper young man, he would probably have been trapped by him and tried to act according to the rules. In the end, he would only fall into the other party's rhythm and be unable to make any progress, like being stuck in a quagmire.

Unfortunately, Xi Luo has always acted without restraint and with recklessness. Moreover, he is a hero with a special imperial decree, so he is firmly on the side of reason and law. Furthermore, in this place where the strongest person is only at the [Star Rank], his strength is enough to sweep everything aside.

As for those who want to play the emotional card with Irene, they are underestimating this little girl.

According to the original timeline, she was the infamous "Crown of Shadows," a typical great witch.

Although he is less extreme now with Shiloh by his side, the hatred in his heart is rekindled when he sees these traitors.

"They might still be smugly pleased with themselves, thinking they've fooled these young people with just a few words."

Moen, seemingly eager to stir up trouble, licked his lips, stroked his chin, and said, "Speaking of which, we've fought for justice this time, so it's only fair that we get some compensation, right?"

Shiloh raised an eyebrow, finding it somewhat amusing that the other party wanted to "divide the spoils" before the operation had even begun.

"If you want the magic books from those people's homes, we can split them in half."

Knowing Moen's quirky collecting habits, Shiloh smiled and made a decision.

"Eh—alright then..."

Moen drew out her words, and Shiloh's gaze made her blush slightly. Although she could only get half of the spellbook, it was still alright.

But how did this guy know I wanted this?!

Moen raised his teacup as if to cover something up, obscuring half his face, and then glanced at someone drinking tea in the distance.

Even though Shiloh hadn't taken any concrete action yet, Moen felt that the guy's clutches were getting closer and closer to him invisibly.

Seeing that Shiloh was flirting with someone again, Ruby pinched his waist in annoyance, then whispered in his ear, "Can't you tone it down a bit? Didn't you just—you, you haven't had enough yet?"

However, upon hearing this, Xiluo decisively shook his head, silently grasped the large moon with his large hand, and said earnestly, "Actually, I feel that I am far from reaching my limit."

"Pah!"

Hearing these shameless words, Ruby punched his chest in annoyance, then turned to look at Irene, who was also being held in Shiloh's arms and had a flushed face. She wanted to say something, but after opening her mouth, she finally sighed helplessly.

There's no other way.

These women are all idiots.

Although... it seems I have no right to say these things.

Ruby rubbed her legs and suddenly felt that Moen's presence here was a bit of an eyesore.

It's ambiguous yet not ambiguous, can't you just hurry up?

Moen, who was munching on a snack to ease her shyness, trembled and looked somewhat bewildered, as if she had been rejected.

"Let's pick a good time tonight and see what secrets this city of mist holds."

Before they arrived at the Rama Manor, seeing the once prosperous family now in such a desolate state, Irene covered her mouth, a deep sorrow spreading through her heart.

The feeling of things having changed and people being gone was heartbreaking. Xi Luo touched the little girl, held her in his arms to comfort her, and at the same time released a miniature magical scanner to scan the entire manor.

Sure enough, there were various small surveillance devices in some parts of the manor.

After destroying all the equipment, Shiloh took over the entire manor's magic system and restarted the manor's basic facilities.

After calming down, Irene smiled at Shiloh, then took his hand and walked into the manor.

As they toured the surrounding scenery, they made their way to their resting place. Judging from the roadside landscape, although many places were broken, one could still see the former prosperity of the Rama family.

"Eileen, is it really true that your family can't find any other members?"

Ruby observed her surroundings and asked in confusion.

Irene shook her head and said, "Our family's bloodline is rather special; only one bloodline heir will be born. Therefore, most of the other people in the family are just bodyguards with vested interests. With the destruction of the Rama family and my father's death, even if they knew I was still alive, they had no reason to be loyal to me."

After saying that, Irene pursed her lips, then suddenly thought of something and said somewhat uncertainly, "However, when I was little, I heard my father say that when my mother was still alive, she secretly trained a suicide squad called 'Junying,' which was supposedly used to protect me."

"But then something happened, and that army suddenly disappeared. However, when my father was fighting against the demonic disaster, I seemed to vaguely see some people I had never seen before. Maybe they were them."

The little girl's troubled look made Xi Luo feel a little sorry for her. After rubbing her little face, he comforted her, "Don't think too much. If they are still here, they will definitely come back when they see your message."

"Ok!"

Irene snuggled closer to Xiluo, rubbing against him affectionately, and chuckled, "Irene feels so lucky to have met Master Brother, it's so wonderful."

As they chatted, they arrived at the place where Irene had lived—an elegant little house where a young lady from a wealthy family lived in seclusion.

Eileen excitedly took a mop from the storage room, wet it with water magic, and began cleaning.

Although a cleaning spell could easily solve everything, seeing how excited the little girl was, Shiloh and the others were willing to play along with her.

Soon, with the efforts of several people, all the dust in the small house was wiped away, and it became clean.

After the basic cleaning is done, it's time to lay out the furniture.

However, Moen found this part increasingly strange. Just as Irene brought out a "four-person bed" that could fill a third of her bedroom—two double beds pushed together—Moen quickly interrupted, "Hey, wait a minute, where are we sleeping?"

Upon hearing this, the three people besides her showed different expressions.

Where is "们"?

Moen realized this too, so she blushed and changed her answer: "Okay, just me."

Upon hearing this, Irene scratched her head and asked, "Um, Sister Moen, are you sure you want to sleep alone?"

What insane things is this little girl saying?

While Moen looked puzzled, Irene offered her explanation: "While there's nothing here that could threaten us on the surface, it never hurts to be cautious, does it?"

Seeing the little girl's serious expression, Mo En's expression changed several times.

No, you guys don't do "bad things" at night?

Am I not in the way here?

Look, even the silver-haired woman next to him seems to want to say something but hesitates!

Moen strongly suspected that what this little girl was thinking was definitely different from what she said. She was probably plotting something bad and wanted to drag him into it.

But looking at Irene's innocent and earnest face, Moen's doubt turned into uncertainty.

Such an innocent-looking girl wouldn't lie, right?

And even if Xi Luo is... well, he probably wouldn't do that kind of thing to a little girl like that, right?

After all, he's such a big guy... oh dear~

The thought of such a "brutal" scene sent a chill down Moen's spine.

However, what Irene said wasn't entirely unreasonable.

Moreover, if everyone were sleeping together, that guy Shiloh wouldn't dare to openly take advantage of me.

With this in mind, Moen finally nodded in agreement, completely unaware of the fleeting slyness on Irene's face.

Silomo silently patted Irene's head, thinking to himself that she was such a sweet little girl, and that her help was really helpful.

Ruby pressed her forehead, unable to understand how such an innocent girl like Irene had been corrupted by the two "colluding" duo, Shiloh and Irene.

Afterwards, the group continued to explore the manor, but did not rush to enter the inheritance site.

As evening fell, Shiloh stood in the large garden in front of the manor, his eyes slightly closed and his breathing steady.

A moment later, the overgrown weeds and withered flowers in the garden, which had been neglected, suddenly trembled and then seemed to come alive, blooming with vibrant colors again.

Rumbling--

Thick tree roots spread underground, weaving like earth dragons, producing a roar similar to an earthquake.

Their destination, however, was the homes of nobles whose names were already written in the Book of Death.

At this moment, these smug nobles, who thought they had successfully fooled the situation, were completely unaware that the Grim Reaper's scythe had already quietly descended upon their heads.

"Huh? What's that sound?"

A nobleman who was admiring his treasure trove in his home noticed a strange noise and asked his servant what was going on.

Friends, I have something to tell you.

I'm planning to take a month-long break from updating until mid-March. I've been incredibly busy lately, preparing for exams and working on my graduation thesis, with a first draft due at the start of the semester. I'm really running out of energy. Graduation season is coming up soon, so I'll be even busier. Hope you guys can understand.

Chapter 238 The Great Justice Xi Luo (Free Chapter, Just Riding a Ripe Ghost Meow)

Rumbling--

A muffled thunderous sound came from underground. Before the nobles, who were secretly mocking the famous Shilo Wells for being nothing special, could react, they heard the mansion's magical defense array glow red and the piercing alarm almost drowned out everything!

Bang! ! !

Thick, scarlet thorny vines burst forth from the ground, piercing the shoulder blades of each nobleman in their horrified gazes. They quickly coiled and tightened, dragging them back into the depths of the earth with equal speed, leaving a terrifying, bottomless pit in the ground.

Tonight, the entire city of Cambello was shocked by this terrifying commotion and rushed out to check what was happening. Then, they were stunned by what they saw next.

As the gaze extends into the distance, on the family manor of the former misty city lord, a crimson giant tree, large enough to blot out the sky, suddenly appears out of nowhere, standing quietly in place like a silent giant.

The giant tree emitted a faint crimson glow in the night, and its massive trunk was covered with swollen, blood-red veins that seemed to be breathing.

call--

A night breeze swept by, and the dense things hanging from the branches swayed in the wind. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be—!

"Hey, hey, hey, those hanging in the trees all look like noble gentlemen!"

"Holy crap, it really is!"

"What's going on? Is it another demon attack?!"

When the people of Cambero, who had experienced the last Abyss Calamity, mentioned this incident, a deep sense of fear appeared in their eyes.

However, this fear did not last long and dissipated as the projection magic unfolded high in the sky.

hum-

As the projection magic unfolded, everyone's eyes were greeted by Shiloh's gentle smile.

"Good night, my people of Cambello."

Shilo bowed gracefully to the "camera" and then explained, "I am Shilo Wells. Tonight's events are not due to a demonic invasion, so please rest assured."

Whoosh—!

Seeing the extremely handsome face on the magic screen, people already had some guesses in their hearts. When they heard Xi Luo reveal his identity, the entire city was in an uproar.

Just mentioning the name Shiloh Wells evokes images of his deeds in people's minds.

Especially in places that have suffered from demonic calamities, people are so moved by the name that they feel as if they have seen a savior, and they are so excited that they burst into tears and dance with joy.

Lord Shiloh is here! Campbell is saved!

Perhaps knowing that people would have an excited reaction, after saying that, Shiloh did not continue speaking. Instead, he put his hands behind his back, silently smiled, and looked at everyone in the city through the camera lens.

Xi Luo's dark eyes seemed to possess some kind of unseen magic. Under his quiet gaze, the noisy and excited voices gradually subsided, and everyone stared eagerly at Xi Luo's figure with excited hearts. The whole city was in a state of silence.

Shiloh snapped his fingers, switching to another shot.

In another shot, there is a group of nobles hanging from a scarlet tree, their collarbones pierced by thorny vines.

"Greed, envy, ignorance... these wicked people attempt to evade punishment with foolish tricks, but such arrogance must be punished."

Chapter 239 Moen: Sigh, a small clique (Two-in-one, a glorious resurrection!)

As soon as he finished speaking, the crimson vines coiled and pierced into the bodies of each of the suspended nobles like pythons. The scarlet blood-red patterns shone brightly, and soon, these nobles lost their vital signs in full view of everyone.

At this moment, the entire city fell into silence.

What happened in the air was beyond everyone's expectations. For the empire, the safety of nobles was of utmost importance, and such a public execution was almost unprecedented in the empire's history.

However, after a brief moment of shock, the people of Cambello suddenly showed expressions of barely suppressed excitement, wanting to shout out in triumph, but fearing something, they forcibly suppressed these joyful feelings in their hearts.
