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

After Shiro used Bloodwood to take control of the entire city of Camberlo, the Blackthorn Flowers from the surrounding cities arrived in the Misty City through the spatial portals he opened. They entered the noble mansions, whose defenses had been completely abolished, and collected evidence of the nobles' crimes.

When they passed by the courtyard and saw these rough, sprawling, blood-red vines, even the well-informed Blackthorn operatives were quite surprised.

Xi Luo was not a reckless person. The fact that he used such a brutal method to forcibly move this group of people indicated that there was imperial support behind it.

Although I envy Xiluo for receiving such great imperial favor, I feel relieved when I think about his deeds.

Blackthorn Flower was clearing the courtyards of the various nobles. Although Shilo had taken control of the entire Misty City, he was somewhat surprised that Kaledel and other prominent nobles who had not been affected by the situation could not withstand the pressure and fled.

Although the news made little Irene a little down, it saved Shiloh a lot of trouble.

Just as Shiloh suspected, the calamity that broke out in Camberloh was likely related to the betrayal of these nobles.

The next step is simply to let the relevant people conduct an investigation. What we, their group, will do is to delve into the Luo Mo family's ancestral land and take away the Shadowwalker inheritance belonging to Irene.

On the other hand, when Irene learned that Kaleder, who had once been her father's right-hand man, was likely one of the masterminds behind her father's murder, she did not show much emotion. Only a faint sadness and a cold killing intent were visible in the depths of her fluorescent blue eyes.

Xi Luo patted Irene's head to comfort the girl, then took her hand and led the women toward the place of inheritance.

Before a heavy, dark iron gate, Irene reached out and touched the door. The blood in her body resonated with the intricate patterns on the gate, causing it to emit a pale blue fluorescence. Then, with a creak, the gate opened a crack.

Irene frowned. No matter how she tried to activate the resonance, she couldn't open the door any further; it could only allow one person to pass through at a time.

"Brother Xiluo, how about we destroy this door?"

Irene turned her head away, showing no lingering attachment to the ancient gate.

After all, the Rama family has become a piece of historical dust, and the so-called family inheritance can only be used by himself. It would be better to take all these inheritances and give them to his and his brother's children in the future.

Xi Luo stroked his chin. He had some reservations, but he hadn't expected Little Irene to be so decisive.

Just as he was about to agree to the proposal, Ruby suddenly stepped forward and, as if possessed, placed her hand on his.

When Ruby's hand touched another door, something unexpected happened!

The color of the pattern on the door Ruby pressed instantly changed from light blue to dark purple, and then the entire door burst into a dazzling light, making everyone squint.

After the light faded, everyone was surprised to find that the two heavy doors had disappeared, and a staircase made of black jade stretched down into the ground in front of them, accompanied by lingering shards of light, as if inviting them to enter.

Shiloh glanced at Ruby, his eyes questioning.

Ruby shook her head slightly, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"In short... some kind of premonition?"

Silo understood, squeezed Ruby's little hand, and then led the two of them down into the ground.

In the original timeline, Irene and Ruby's fates should have never intersected, but now, under her influence, they have become intertwined.

Based on what we just saw, the two of them should have some kind of connection. The fact that fate deliberately separated them suggests that if their destinies were to intersect, it could exacerbate the disruption to their original fates.

What exactly will happen is still unclear, but in any case, this move was the right one.

As he descended, Xi Luo's dark eyes resembled a bottomless abyss, concealing terrifying and turbulent waves.

"Wow—this is the place where the [Shadow Walkers] are passed down!"

After passing through a long flight of stairs, a spacious platform came into view.

On these platforms stood towering bookshelves, crammed with all sorts of esoteric books, making Moen's eyes light up.

There's plenty of time; you can put these books away first and read them slowly later.

As for the origins of the [Shadow Walkers] lineage, they are located further down the platform.

Faced with the powerful inheritance she was about to receive, Irene showed no eagerness whatsoever. Instead, she simply stood there, raising an eyebrow.

"what happened?"

Ruby, feeling the rich shadow elements in the space that made her feel very comfortable, looked at Irene, who looked wary, and asked.

"Actually, I've been thinking about this ever since I came here. Although the [Shadowwalker] lineage is ancient and powerful, in the eyes of the gods, it's really just so-so, right?"

Seeing Irene mimicking Shiloh's gesture of resting her chin on her hand in analysis, Ruby couldn't help but chuckle and nodded in agreement.

"So, these human traitors who have defected to the Abyss may possess methods left behind by the evil gods. If they were to use these methods to infiltrate the Land of Inheritance and tamper with the most important source seed of inheritance, it would be entirely possible, wouldn't it?"

Irene spread her hands and expressed her concerns.

Ruby and Moen seemed thoughtful, while Shiloh pinched Irene's cheek and gave her an approving look.

The little girl has grown up, both physically and mentally.

"Let's move all the books first. We have plenty of time, so we can take our time."

After speaking, a rotating transparent sphere appeared in Xiluo's outstretched palm, which then rapidly expanded, blocking the entire land of inheritance, including the deepest source of inheritance.

"Okay! Let's get started!"

When it comes to scavenging (crossed out) and properly storing magic books, Moen becomes very enthusiastic, wishing he could immediately stuff all these rare books into his pocket.

"Then I'll have to trouble everyone."

Irene gave a slight bow, and then everyone began their work.

The land of inheritance is vast, and even four mid-to-high-level extraordinary beings spent some time collecting all the books.

After leaving the place of inheritance, the group went to the room and sat on the combined four-person bed to start taking stock of the books.

Although Moen was very excited when packing the books, he knew that these were the little girl's property and it wasn't appropriate to just stuff them into his pocket.

Although it's a bit of a pity, it's enough to be able to study it.

The group worked efficiently, sorting the books by category. They used several storage bracelets to finally finish classifying the books.

After finishing organizing, it was already late at night.

Moen carefully read through the books he had chosen, while Shiloh, Ruby, and Irene were deep in thought, looking at a book with a solemn and dignified cover.

"I never expected there was such a method..."

Ruby marveled. The Rama family's heritage was indeed ancient and profound. The contents of this book were about how to generate a new source of heritage when the source of the [Shadow Walker] heritage could not be used for some reason.

This method is rather unusual, but given the current situation, it seems somewhat impractical.

Because there is an important step involved in the process where the inheritor needs to pray to their deity, the Shadow of All Things, in order to gain power.

As is well known, "demigods" like the [Shadow of All Things], who possess divine power but lack authority, have almost no chance of survival. He himself collapsed and perished not long after ascending to the demigod level.

As Xiluo pondered whether he could improve the book, using the Hehuan method to simulate the characteristics of the source of shadows, and then "graft" it onto Xiao Yilin, a pair of slender, jade-like hands suddenly reached out, covered his face, and turned him to the side.

Ok?

Shiloh blinked at Ruby, who had a serious expression on her face.

"This book... both Irene and I need to practice it!"

Upon hearing this, Irene looked at Ruby in surprise and asked doubtfully, "But it says to pray to the gods. If we use it directly, it probably won't work, right?"

Ruby knew that Irene was telling the truth, but a strange tremor and premonition deep inside her compelled her to say those words.

"I know it's hard for me to explain, but—"

Before she could finish speaking, Ruby's lips were sealed by Shiloh's finger, and the words of explanation were swallowed back down her throat.

"I believe you."

Without needing to say anything more, Shiloh patted Ruby on the shoulder and smiled slightly.

Ruby was taken aback at first, then a deep blush rose on her honey-colored face.

Shiloh's unwavering trust always made her feel constantly enveloped in warmth, giving her a sense of security.

"……Oh."

Ruby pursed her lips into a "^" shape, then leaned forward and kissed Shiloh's lips. Afterward, she casually opened the book and flipped through it with Irene.

wow~

wow~

The sound of pages turning was very faint, echoing the thumping of the girl's heartbeat.

Seeing Ruby's obviously absent-minded look, Irene secretly smiled, finding it somewhat amusing that some older women were not good at being direct.

"To be honest, this kind of efficiency is actually a bit low."

Irene's eyes darted around, and she raised a slender finger, suggesting with a mischievous grin, "Brother Xiluo, how about we do it the way we always do?"

Usually...like that?

Moen, who was flipping through a magic book on the other side, was taken aback when he heard this. He looked over curiously and was very interested in the "method to improve the efficiency of learning arcane arts" that Irene had mentioned.

Although Ruby didn't react immediately, she understood what Irene meant when she saw the mischievous smile on her face.

Ruby's honey-colored face turned completely red. Startled, she trembled and quickly shifted her position to face Shiloh, stammering, "You you you—wait a minute, Moen is still here!"

Moen was not happy to hear this. After all, they had been "good sisters" for many years. Why would she keep something good to herself?

Unexpectedly, Shiloh agreed with Ruby's statement and nodded, saying, "That's true."

Then, a hazy white mist rose up, obscuring the view and covering half of the bed where the three of them were, leaving Mo En sitting alone outside with his mouth slightly open.

……

snort!

Moen pouted and turned away in dissatisfaction, clearly unhappy with Shiloh's actions.

You think you can get me with this?

I bother!

In a fit of rage, Moen pulled out some snacks, lay down on the bed, stuffed his cheeks full, and angrily flipped through the books.

Inside the white mist barrier, a vibrant and enchanting scene is slowly unfolding.

Woohoo!

Ruby, her clothes half-open, knelt and lay prone on the soft bed.

Her honey-colored face was flushed and glistening with sweat. Her hands gripped the sheets tightly, her eyes sometimes staring blankly at the books, and her full lips were bitten by her teeth to prevent any sound from escaping.

Although Ruby's consciousness is almost unable to concentrate right now, and she can't even see a single large character clearly in the text, she doesn't need to pay attention while learning in this state.

In a state of Yin-Yang harmony, Ruby and her friends' learning talents can be temporarily elevated to a state of perfect harmony with nature, and this can also affect their talents in the normal state.

Irene rested her chin on her hand, looked at Ruby who was groaning from being teased, and raised an eyebrow.

It has to be said that Ruby and Elena are actually quite similar in some ways, especially their stubborn silence, which is exactly the same.

However, Elena is "cunning," while Ruby is probably just shy.

Little did he know, this only fueled Shiloh's enthusiasm.

Watching the surging honey-colored waves, Xi Luo raised her palm and played a clear, melodious tune.

Finally, after going through about one-tenth of the text, Ruby confessed, trembling.

puff-

Ruby was brought on at halftime, and Irene was substituted in.

The little girl had no sense of restraint in front of her beloved brother, Shiro. After all, one must reveal all one's reactions in front of their lover.

The girl's innocent face was flushed with joy, the contrast creating a captivating and alluring beauty that made Xi Luo unable to resist leaving a series of kiss marks on her neck.

Ruby was shocked as she watched Irene spouting nonsensical words. She never expected that Irene, who was just a little girl, would be so uninhibited.

Soon after Irene finished, Shiloh started arguing with Ruby again, causing Ruby to shed tears of joy.

Chapter 240 Shiloh's "Coercion" (Part 2)

At that moment, Moen, who was outside the white mist barrier, suddenly stopped chewing his snack, sat up in bed with a puzzled look, and looked around like a wary groundhog.

"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?"

Moen felt the shaking coming from the bed and frowned slightly. He thought it was an attack by the nobles who had disappeared and fled. Just as he was about to remind Shilo and the others, he suddenly felt that something was wrong!

So Moen got out of bed, and his suspicions were confirmed.

Sure enough, the vibration came from the other bed...

???

Moen opened her mouth blankly, then a vivid color spread across her pretty face, and her heart pounded with shame.

Hey! What are you guys doing in secret?!
