As Valensa took her third bite, the remaining consciousness within the soul crystal erupted, and a crazed and unwilling soul let out a roar, hurling a vicious curse upon Valensa.

Startled, Valensa quickly chewed two more bites with a smile on her face. The madness of her soul turned into terror, and then, without any resistance, her consciousness shattered in Valensa's mouth, leaving only fragments of experience and memory.

"Humm...coming, coming."

Valensa quickly closed her eyes, carefully savoring the gains she had made from the Soul Crystal.

A few minutes later, Valensa opened her azure eyes again, glanced at Tia with a strange smile, and tilted her head.

"?"

Tia glared at her, somewhat puzzled, then instinctively covered her chest with her hands:

"What's wrong? What did you learn from that monster? Something's off."

"whee."

Valensa didn't speak, she just opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue.

The tip of its tongue quickly licked around the corner of its mouth, then made several other movements with remarkable agility, and could even pierce and retract at high speed like the needle of a sewing machine.

Tia's face flushed instantly. She stomped hard on Valensa's foot and pinched Valensa's soft waist repeatedly.

"shameless!"

"Hmm, you're my wife, why should I talk to you about shame?"

Valensa showed no sign of pain; instead, she seemed quite comfortable and naturally embraced Tia.

"Come on, let's sleep at your place tonight. Your place has better soundproofing... I'm sure Cao Cao and Merudi will be eavesdropping on me again."

After saying that, she continued to hold Tia's waist with one hand, and supported Tia's legs with the other hand. She picked Tia up in a princess carry and rushed towards the girls' dormitory of the command department.

"You shameless idiot!"

Tia pinched Valensa shyly again, but her eyes were very charming.

It wasn't until she was almost inside the dormitory that she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked:

"Wait... what you got from the battle-hardened cave monster wasn't just the tongue-sticking technique, was it? As a battle-hardened individual, it must have lived for a very long time and been very knowledgeable. Did you gain anything else?"

"Of course there are...hehe."

Valensa greeted the upperclassmen and underclassmen in Tia's dormitory building with a smile, showing no embarrassment at being caught having a secret rendezvous, and confidently carried Tia back to their room.

After entering the room and closing the door, Valensa kicked off her shoes and lunged towards the bed before continuing to answer amidst Tia's playful scolding:

"That battle-hardened cave monster does know a lot of interesting things... Hehe, I'll tell you slowly later, but I'm afraid you won't listen."

"Stop being so arrogant! Who's afraid of who!"

Tia stood up on her bed, put her hands on her hips, raised her white-stockinged feet, and stomped hard on Valensa, who was lying beside her bed.

"Don't think you'll always win just because you're a knight and have good stamina! Haven't I beaten you countless times already?"

"Mmm...Tia, you're amazing!"

Valensa's voice was even more languid, like a cat whose chin had been stroked:

"So hurry up and... come and defeat me!"

The first half of the night was all spent fighting among the fairies.

. . . . .

"Hehe, Tia, you were amazing last night~~"

The next morning, Valensa stood by the bed, looking refreshed, pulling up her black stockings. Beside her on the bed was Tia, who still didn't want to move a single finger.

Faced with this blatant sarcasm, Tia puffed out her cheeks and muttered under her breath, "I'm so angry!"

"This female knight really has a lot of stamina! I'm already... Hmph, next time I'll cast two rounds of High-Level Dragon Power on myself first, I don't believe you can withstand it... I'll give you two Weakness Curses too!"

"Ha ha……"

Valensa couldn't help but smile, and then reached out to pinch Tia's soft cheek, and the two of them played around for a while.

"I'll rest a bit more and then go to the underground ruins to ask Sister Friggia for guidance on how to turn our spoils from yesterday into weapons."

After their playful antics, Tia rested her head on Valensa's lap and asked lazily:

What about you? What are your plans for today?

"I... well, I'll probably go to the Nora Chamber of Commerce first."

Valensa thought for a moment and said:

“Yashiro and Miss Lanzhi’s rendezvous trip should be over by now. I’m going to talk to her about that batch of high-quality, attribute-free magic crystals and see what conditions she’ll offer.”

"Actually, we could totally cooperate with her on the business of fully automatic, fireless stoves. After all, the Nora Chamber of Commerce controls most of the sales channels in the entire Fran, and it's hard to do business without going through her. It's better to take the initiative to propose cooperation to show our sincerity."

Tia must have had this in mind all along, and took the opportunity to offer her suggestion:

"Of course, we must keep the core technology in our own hands! We can purchase raw materials from the Nora Chamber of Commerce and then entrust them to sell them."

“Yes, I understand.” Valensa nodded with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll leave Yashiro to you."

Tia yawned again as she spoke:

"Ha~~~~ What about what you told me last night? What about those things you saw in the memories of the battle-hardened dungeon monster? What are you planning to do? You don't want to go by yourself, do you?"

"Of course not."

Valensa smiled and said:

"I'm not the kind of greedy fool who would die for food. I'm a smart and cautious female knight... Although trying to explore on my own would definitely yield greater benefits, the unknown risks are also very high, so it's unnecessary."

"Yes, I'm relieved that you think so."

Tia breathed a sigh of relief, then asked curiously:

"So, who are you planning to ask for help with this? Lika and the others?"

"...No, the church probably isn't very interested in this kind of thing."

Valensa gently shook her head and smiled:

"I plan to sell this information to the Gourmet Association; I should be able to get a lot of gourmet points in return."

Chapter 146 Visiting Yashiro

"Has your young lady returned from her trip?"

At the information desk on the first floor of the Nora Chamber of Commerce headquarters, Valensa leaned forward, pressing her chest against the counter, revealing a slightly alluring smile.

Unfortunately, this time she was just throwing herself at a blind man.

The receptionist behind the counter must have been a very straightforward woman; she didn't show the slightest hint of interest, and her eyes only flashed with jealousy and annoyance.

So what if you have big breasts? You can't just flaunt them like that.

The receptionist really wanted to complain, but the instincts she'd developed during training courses made her quickly switch to her usual sweet and professional demeanor.

"Yes, Miss returned the night before last and specifically instructed Miss Bader that you could go directly to the top floor to see her whenever you arrived."

...So it really was just waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump?

Valensa sighed inwardly, muttering another curse about the despicable merchant, then smiled and nodded to the receptionist before heading towards the stairs.

This wasn't her first time here. On the way, she ran into several familiar Nora Chamber of Commerce employees who greeted her and she responded with a smile.

Upon reaching the top floor, in that private space resembling a sky garden, Valensa once again encountered Yashiro, the young lady of the Nora Merchant Guild, with her golden curly hair and violet eyes.

Today, Yashiro looked more casual. She wasn't wearing an expensive and gorgeous dress, a serious and capable business suit, or her fighter's outfit.

She wore a figure-hugging cotton T-shirt on top and super short canvas hot pants on the bottom, revealing her fair and slender legs. Only a round-toed slipper was hanging on the toe of her left foot.

He was lounging lazily on the sofa, holding a novel in his hand, with a half-empty glass of juice and a plate of rather exquisite pastries on the coffee table next to him.

"So leisurely this early in the morning? Aren't you making any money?"

Since they were already friends, Valensa wasn't reserved at all. She sat down opposite Yashiro, grabbed some pastries from the coffee table and started eating them. She also took out an empty glass and poured herself a large glass of juice.

"What book are you reading? It's so interesting!"

"Oh, it's Valensa... Come to think of it, you should be here soon."

Yashilo chuckled softly, still showing no intention of getting up from the sofa. He simply closed the book he was holding and placed it on the coffee table, teasingly saying:

"I may be quite relaxed, but that hasn't stopped me from making money... If I'm not mistaken, you're here to give me money, right?"

"You treacherous...wait?"

Valensa was about to make a complaint when her eyes caught sight of the title of the novel Yashiro had just been reading on the coffee table, and her eyes widened in surprise.

The Female Knight Who Walked into the Trap

Why does this book title feel so ironic?

Valensa puffed out her cheeks, and under Yashilo's smiling gaze, picked up the book and flipped through it at lightning speed.

This is a hardcover novel, with a beautiful illustration every three to five pages. The art style is fantastic and the content is very exciting.

This is a sensual and erotic novel.

Moreover, judging from the chapter title, it seems to be about a female knight whose family fell into poverty and owed a merchant guild's young lady a lot of money. In the end, she could only repay the debt with her body and was fully developed by the noble lady into a night knight exclusively for her.

"This book is pretty good. Can I have a copy?"

Valensa wasn't embarrassed at all and casually put the book into her storage space.

Yashilo didn't care... This book was printed and distributed by her own bookstore, and she even paid well-known erotic novelists to write the novels. She could have as many as she wanted.

"I'm glad you like it. This book is really well written, especially some of the details. You might even be able to learn something from it."

Yashilo teased Valensa meaningfully before sitting up from the sofa, placing her delicate white feet on slippers, and resting her chin on her hands:

"So? You've come to walk right into our trap, Miss Knight?"

"No, I'm here to discuss business!"

Valensa angrily gulped down a piece of cake, then downed the rest of her juice in one go before leaning back on the sofa and sighing.

“Name your price… I’ll take all those high-quality, attribute-free magic crystals you have. I hope you won’t rip me off too badly, considering we’re friends. I haven’t even had time to enjoy the bounty I just received from His Majesty the King.”

“Oh dear... talking about money can hurt our feelings, my dear Valensa.”

Yashilo's smile deepened:

“You know we’re friends… How could friends help each other out? Just buy those high-quality, attribute-free magic crystals at market price. If you’re short on funds, you can pay later when you have enough money.”

"what?"

Valensa was greatly surprised.

According to reliable sources, when Yashilo acquired those high-quality, attribute-free magic crystals, she paid 5% more than the market price. If she had sold them at the market price, she would not have made a profit; in fact, she would have lost money.

Not to mention the phrase "I'll pay you back when I have enough funds," which is practically a free gift!

Could it be that she's lusting after my body and wants me to fall into her trap like the female knight in that book, ultimately paying for it with my body?

This was the first thought in Valensa's mind, and several poses and scenes she had seen in the book's beautiful illustrations also involuntarily flashed through her mind.

She savored the illustrations, glanced at Yashiro with her beautiful figure and pretty face, and then replaced the protagonist of the illustrations with herself...

hiss!

Valensa quickly shook her head, stopping her reverie.

No, that's not right.

After becoming friends, Valensa inquired about him, either directly or indirectly.

Although the super-rich heiress Yashilo is also a woman, unlike Princess Elses, who is a seasoned womanizer with countless girlfriends, Yashilo is actually a devoted lover... Apart from the beautiful auctioneer Miss Lanzhi, Yashilo has never had any ambiguous relationships with any other women.

The idea of ​​a female knight walking right into a trap is probably just a joke.

After taking a deep breath, pouring herself a full glass of juice and drinking it down in one gulp, Valensa shrugged with a rather helpless expression.

"You're really kind of you, Yashiro... but if I'm not mistaken, you probably have other requests later, right?"

"How could that be? This is clearly about friends helping each other and making money together."

Yashilo smiled again, and crossed her two long, snow-white legs, using her upper foot to dangle her slipper from side to side:
