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

With a long sigh, Xi Luo grasped the large moon, slowly closed his eyes, and completely emptied his mind.

It would be quite difficult to rank the ways of serving, since lovers each have their own style.

But if we're talking about the one with the gentlest style, it's undoubtedly Arya.

Aria, who is somewhat naive, tends to immerse herself completely in whatever she does, including now.

Seeing Shiloh's relaxed and comfortable expression, Arya, who had been a little shy, now felt only a faint sense of satisfaction.

Although Shiloh always seemed so calm and resourceful, how could anyone not be exhausted when managing such a vast situation?

"I've been here the whole time... Don't worry, if you want to sleep, you can just fall asleep, okay?"

"West door, west door... Does this sound make you feel more comfortable?"

Arya's expression was gentle, and her hand and leg techniques were equally soft, causing Shiloh's relaxed body to tremble slightly.

"You like it here, right? Come here, let me give you a hug~"

Arya spoke softly, then wrapped her other arm around the back of Shiloh's neck and gently pulled him into her soft embrace.

With each breath of Shiro, hot air would exhale, making Arya's soft skin feel numb and pink, but more than the physical comfort, her psychological satisfaction was about to reach its peak.

Although Shiloh has a gentle heart, which Arya likes very much.

However, in everyday life, he is still too domineering.

Even though I'm a year older than him, most of the time I feel like I'm the little sister.

but……

Gazing at Shilo's peaceful sleeping face in her arms, Arya's expression softened, wondering if she was the only one who had ever seen him like this.

puff--

After an unknown amount of time, a scorching dragon breath fiercely spewed onto Arya's delicate palm, overflowing from between her fingers.

"Huh? Ah... this, this is what Elena and the others were talking about..."

Arya didn't want to disturb Shiro's sleep, so she could only observe the dragon's breath, which was filled with yin and yang energy, from a distance, her face slightly flushed.

Ailiya thought for a moment, then blushed slightly and placed her hand on her pink lips. Then, she stuck out her tongue and tentatively licked them.

"Hmm...this tastes strange, kind of like seafood."

Aria frowned slightly. Although the taste wasn't great, it wasn't particularly bad either. Moreover, after touching the dragon's breath with her tongue, she actually felt an increase in her extraordinary level!

"Wow... this is actually true. I must say, as expected of you."

Aria smiled helplessly. When Cecilia and the others said that doing this kind of thing with Shilo could improve her extraordinary rank, she was a little skeptical, thinking that it was just a reason for the two to trick her into joining the ranks.

However, after seeing that their cultivation levels had indeed improved, Aria was already more or less convinced.

Now that she has found it to be true through practice, Aria finds it both absurd and perfectly reasonable.

After all, this was Xiluo, the person she had chosen as her destiny.

Located in Clorenza, anything can happen at any time, so I must improve my strength as soon as possible.

With that thought in mind, Aria swallowed all the freshly squeezed cream without further hesitation.

The sticky, hot sensation lingered in her throat, and Aria swallowed several times with difficulty before finally managing to get the cream down.

"call……"

With a long exhale, Aria's face was flushed and her eyes were watery. She felt the warm breath of Shiloh filling her nasal cavity and airway with each breath, making her brain feel comfortable and slightly drowsy.

Looking at the peaceful profile of Shiloh as she slept, Aria smiled slightly, wiped her lips, gave him a light kiss, and murmured, "Goodnight."

In the middle of the night, Xi Luo slowly opened her eyes, feeling that she had slept exceptionally well.

Looking at Arya, who was sleeping peacefully on his chest, Shiloh smiled slightly, ruffled the girl's hair, and then gently moved her off him.

"Aria, Aria?"

Xilu shook the sleeping girl and called her softly.

"Hmm... what's wrong?"

Arya opened her pale golden eyes with a jolt, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and asked indistinctly.

I want to go out for a walk.

"Huh? Then, I'll go with you?"

No, you need to stay here.

"Eh?"

Meeting Arya's questioning gaze, Shiloh took out a special device from his spatial pouch, which was covered with complex magical runes.

"This is a device used for spatial teleportation. Once I activate the sub-device in my hand, I will be teleported back. I need you to help me protect this place."

Feeling Shiro's gaze, Aria bit her lip.

Despite being worried about Shiloh's safety and wanting to go out with him, Arya knew that he was probably going to carry out some highly secretive mission, so she didn't insist and nodded in agreement.

"be careful."

"Ah."

In the underground black market, shouts, arguments, and calls to attract customers rose incessantly, creating a cacophony that made one want to frown and cover their ears.

He was completely shrouded in a black robe, and the concealment magic scroll he carried made it difficult for others to detect his true nature.

This kind of attire isn't particularly eye-catching here; in fact, it's quite common.

"Hey! Sir/Madam, would you like to take a look at our slaves?!"

As they passed a slave stall, the shopkeeper, with a full beard, appeared before Xiluo, bowing and scraping, rubbing his hands together with a fawning smile.

With his years of experience in judging people, the shop owner was able to sense Xi Luo's special qualities, so he approached her with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

He stopped in his tracks, his eyes, hidden in the shadows of his black robe and hood, quickly scanning his surroundings, but he found nothing.

Xi Luo turned his gaze to the shop owner, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Business has been slow lately?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression froze for a moment, but then quickly returned to normal, and he chuckled awkwardly, "Hey, what makes you say that?"

Xi Luo chuckled twice, walked over to the slave stall with his hands behind his back, looked at the various human slaves locked in the cages, and pointed and said, "This one, and this one, although they are not particularly good in my opinion, they are still excellent."

"If slaves of this quality can't be sold, then there's no point in talking about other slaves."

Xi Luo turned his head and looked at the shop owner with a half-smile, which made the shop owner break out in a cold sweat.

"So, what exactly is causing business to be so bad? Or is there some kind of defect in the slaves you've presented that I'm not aware of?"

Xi Luo narrowed his eyes, and the chilling aura in them made even the shopkeeper, who was used to seeing bloodshed, tremble.

"Where we come from, if you're dishonest in this line of work, you'll at least get your hands or feet cut off..."

Hearing Xi Luo's words, the shopkeeper bowed somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I didn't expect you to be in the same industry... Well, I naturally know these rules, you don't need to worry about the quality of these slaves."

"I can tell you're from out of town and don't know much about the market in Clorenza. Here, although there's a lot of messy competition and fighting, you absolutely don't need to worry about the quality of the goods."

“If someone sells counterfeit goods, no one will come to this dangerous place to do business, which will undoubtedly cut off our path! So even if you don’t say it, such unscrupulous merchants in our area will only be subjected to slow slicing.”

Listening to the shopkeeper's confident assurance, Xi Luo raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Heh, according to you, how come these slaves can't be sold? People without money, power, or strength can't come here."

"Well..."

The shop owner looked around twice, then waved for Xi Luo to come inside and discuss the matter in detail.

Watching the shopkeeper's retreating figure, Xi Luo narrowed his eyes and silently gripped the teleportation device and magic scroll in his hand.

hum-

With Shiloh activating the magical scroll that enhanced his senses, the layout of the room became clear to him.

"I thought you guys would have set up some kind of traps inside, but I didn't expect you to be so clean. Of course, it would be best if those of you lurking in the shadows left first."

Standing at the door of the room, Xi Luo chuckled, then pointed around with his finger and said.

Seeing Xi Luo's actions, the shop owner's pupils contracted slightly, because the other party had indeed pointed out all of his hidden guards and henchmen, and was not bluffing or making wild guesses.

This further convinced the shopkeeper of Xi Luo's extraordinary qualities, so he quickly cupped his hands and said, "You're right, I'll have them take it away right away... You can wait outside and not disturb my discussion with our distinguished guest."

If they're not interested, they'll probably just glance at it and leave.

Shiloh's seemingly nitpicky remarks proved that he intended to buy it.

"Your slave trade is so unusual, I'm a little hesitant to buy from you..."

Silo sat casually in the chair, his fingers gripping the armrest, and said softly.

Sure enough, his next sentence was—

"Of course, if you can lower the price a bit, I might consider it."

Unsurprised by Xi Luo's words, the shopkeeper shook his head, gave a wry smile, and poured Xi Luo a cup of tea.

"You're joking. No matter how much the price of slaves drops, it won't go much lower. After all, we need to eat too."

Xiluo chuckled, not bothering to continue haggling, and instead asked, "Tell me, why are high-quality slaves, who should be extremely scarce here, now unable to be sold?"

"Please allow me to explain in detail... As everyone knows, there are no low-quality slaves in Clorenza—of course, that's for most people. A distinguished guest with such high standards as yourself is a different story, hehehe..."

After offering a compliment, the shopkeeper continued, "However, while the quality is high, the shipping and handling fees are quite complicated due to the long distance. These miscellaneous items alone cost a lot of money. Therefore, the slaves we sell here are generally very expensive."

"But in the past month or so, the city lord's mansion suddenly issued a ban, which strictly limits the number of slaves sold outside. Oh my, you really don't know, with this ban, many orders that were previously placed have to be postponed."

"The compensation alone is almost bankrupting us..."

The shop owner sighed and shook his head, his face full of worry.

Xi Luo raised an eyebrow and asked, "Isn't there any compensation from the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Yes, of course. But that compensation is only enough to make ends meet. If we want to continue trading, buying and capturing slaves will all have to be done by us! Don't you think this is going to drive us crazy?!"

Ignoring the shopkeeper's wailing and lamentation, Xi Luo pondered to himself.

Does the city lord's mansion limit the number of slaves sold to outsiders?

Xi Luo frowned slightly, not understanding the reason for doing so, so he asked directly, "There has to be a reasonable reason for restricting sales, right?"

"It's said that the strict restrictions are due to the frequent battles with the demons, and to prevent demon spies from escaping by infiltrating the slave population... Heh, anyone who comes here knows that's just nonsense! When has there ever been a shortage of demon spies in Clorenza? Just slip a little 'this' into the guard's pocket when you want to leave, and you can go anywhere!"

The shop owner made a money-rubbing gesture with a sarcastic expression on his face.

"Business is so tough these days. If you take a fancy to any slave, I can reluctantly part with my money and offer it to you...hehe, but I'll need your help to get me some connections first..."

The shop owner cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, his face full of fawning smiles.

As long as enough buyers can be found, even if these slaves cannot be sold in the short term, a huge sum of money can be made later.

Upon hearing this, Xi Luo chuckled and said, "Wanting my connections isn't impossible—"

Before the shop owner could get excited, Xi Luo changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "However, you'll have to produce something real, won't you?"

"Or do you think these inferior goods from outside are good enough for me?"

Seeing the displeasure hidden in Xi Luo's eyes, the shopkeeper waved his hands in a fluster and said, "This, this, you've misunderstood!"

Seeing the shopkeeper's flustered appearance, Xi Luo suddenly chuckled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Alright, alright, it was just a joke. But these things outside are indeed too boring."

“那… … “A loving thought?”

Seeing the shop owner's bewildered expression, Xi Luo suddenly tightened his grip on his shoulder, squinted closer, and whispered, "I want something more exciting."

"You must be selling alien races here, right?"

Clang!

boom!

Upon hearing this, the shop owner stood up in shock, and the chair made a loud scraping sound before falling heavily backward.

"What...what makes you say that? Selling brothers and sisters of other races is illegal—"

"Alright, alright!"

Xilu waved his hand, looking impatient, and said, "Don't give me this political correctness nonsense. We're all in this line of work, do you think I don't know what you're like?"

Upon hearing this insult that implied both himself and the other person, the shop owner's flustered expression crumbled, revealing a slightly awkward smile.

"Let me tell you this, I have a big client here."
