“Mmm…”
Ailina lightly bit her lower lip, pretending not to know, her small face gradually turning red with shyness.
Feeling the warmth from the unrestrained hand behind her, her eyes became hazy, and she lowered her upper body again…
“Damn it…”
“Ailina, you’re so wanton.”
…
“Father, Sister Xiang is back!”
As dusk fell, Wang Qianqian stood on tiptoe in the watchtower, barely peeking her head out, excitedly reporting the good news to everyone in the territory.
“Let me see.”
Wang Fugui, who was in the distance, heard this and came to the bottom of the watchtower, rolled up his sleeves, and in a few quick movements, reached the top.
Looking at the bulging muscles on his arms, he was indistinguishable from a gym enthusiast who guzzled protein powder.
If an outsider were told he was a 64-year-old man, they would probably rather believe that SUVs exist in this world.
“Good harvest.”
The white rings in Wang Fugui’s eyes glowed faintly, and through the darkness, he easily saw the large approaching group.
“Wow, are they all carrying spoils of war? There’s so much!”
Wang Qianqian had also been immersed in the Cleansing Pool, so the night had no effect on her. Her big, watery eyes were full of envy, “If I didn’t have a task, I would definitely go with them on their expedition, eliminate enemies, and gain spoils of war. It sounds like so much fun.”
“What nonsense are you spouting!”
Wang Fugui glared, grumbling, “At such a young age, all you think about is fighting and killing. Why don’t you learn from your second sister! Go back to your room and practice your calligraphy for this old man!”
“I’m going, I’m going…”
Wang Qianqian’s eyes were red, and she mumbled, “Why are you so fierce! The Lord is still gentler.”
Before Xiang Yi could even approach the territory,
6,000 Niu Ma slaves poured out from the territory’s wooden gate, scrambling to pull the supplies carried by the expedition back into the territory.
“Where is the Lord?”
Xiang Yi casually handed the Overlord Spear to Tie Zhu and asked Wang Fugui.
“The Lord… he should still be in the mansion discussing important matters with Miss Ailina.”
Wang Fugui rubbed his nose, smiling sheepishly.
“Alright, then I’ll trouble Elder Wang to tally the supplies. I’ll go report the situation to the Lord.”
Xiang Yi’s willowy brows slightly raised, her beautiful oval face showing no emotional fluctuations.
“Yes, yes, such trivial matters should naturally be left to this old man.”
Wang Fugui nodded repeatedly, and only after watching her leave did he turn his attention back to the spoils of war.
At a glance,
About eighty percent of them were rare building materials, while the rest were quite varied, including crop seeds, luxurious ornaments made of gold, silver, and precious stones, and a small amount of high-tier equipment.
Wang Fugui opened the exchange and roughly estimated that this batch of spoils was worth less than 8,000 purple crystal coins.
“If I remember correctly, one of them seemed to be from a wealthy family… why are they so poor?”
“It’s also possible that they spent it all developing their territory after their arrival.”
He did not pursue this question further.
Wang Fugui clapped his hands.
“Clap, clap, clap!”
“Young men, quickly sort and move everything into the warehouse!”
“The Lord told me.”
“Slaves who participated in today’s battle will each receive one week’s food supply!”
“Warriors, everyone gets a 1 gold coin raise!”
The old man’s voice was not loud, but it was powerful and penetrating.
Upon hearing the rewards,
Everyone spontaneously began to applaud.
“Clap, clap, clap!”
“Thank you, Lord!”
“Clap, clap, clap!!”
“…”
Pushing open the main gate of the mansion’s outer wall,
Xiang Yi stood in the courtyard, quietly listening to the clapping sounds from around her.
She looked up slightly.
In Lin Yi’s master bedroom on the second floor, candlelight flickered.
Figures moved.
And there were also waves of moans that made her blush.
“Hmph!”
Xiang Yi’s blood surged within her, her cheeks puffed out, and she strode quickly towards the Hero Tavern.
“General Xiang, are you here for a drink?”
Inside the tavern, a Niu Ma responsible for collecting money, with sharp eyes, quickly came out from behind the bar and bowed, asking, “The usual, osmanthus wine?”
“Today, this granny wants to drink the good stuff!”
Xiang Yi’s beautiful eyes lifted, locking directly onto the bottle of supreme fine wine worth 9,999 gold coins on the highest shelf of the wine cabinet.
“Uh…”
The tavern Niu Ma froze, thinking to himself that this was not good.
Who would provoke this living Yama in front of him for no reason?
One must know,
Everything in the tavern was not generated out of thin air; it was all stocked from the tavern’s exclusive backend, and there were costs involved!
They were at most distributors.
If Xiang Yi opened this bottle of wine, he certainly wouldn’t dare to charge a single copper coin.
“Sigh…”
He had finally managed to get this job, and could eat a meal of blood porridge every day.
It seemed that was going to be gone!
The tavern Niu Ma turned around and quietly sighed, carefully taking down the bottle of wine and handing it to Xiang Yi, forcing a smile, “Please, General Xiang, put in a good word for me…”
“Got it.”
Xiang Yi snatched the wine bottle, and under the wide-eyed gaze of many unrecruited heroes in the tavern, she kicked open the door and strode away.
Creak—
The main gate of the mansion’s outer wall was pushed open.
Lin Yi stood outside the door, glanced at the bright moon hanging in the sky, and stretched lazily.
“Indeed, slightly plump is the best.”
“Tsk, tsk.”
Lin Yi muttered to himself for a few moments.
Those four foolish lords had come to deliver a wave of experience, and the massive increase in power pushed him to level 16.
He now preliminarily possessed the strength to fiercely battle Fourth-tier powerhouses.
Still seemingly savoring the moment,
He didn’t notice Xiang Yi leaning against the wall beside him.
“Gurgle, gurgle…”
?
Lin Yi heard the sound and sharply turned his head.
Xiang Yi was tilting her fair neck back, drinking deeply from the fine wine.
“You’re back? How was the expedition?” Lin Yi smiled slightly.
Xiang Yi’s eyelids lifted slightly, her eyes casting a deep, lingering glance, “A great victory.”
“The report is done. This subordinate is a bit tired. If the Lord has no other commands, this subordinate will return to her room to rest.”
“Lord… please also take care of your health.”
Sour words came out of her mouth.
Lin Yi’s knowledge as a Lord might not be great, but he considered himself somewhat knowledgeable in matters of the heart.
Almost instantly,
He guessed the reason behind it all—a vinegar jar had been overturned!
It had to be said, Ailina was usually quiet and elegant, as gentle as a spring breeze caressing a willow.
Ahem… her voice was indeed a bit loud.
“Wait a moment.”
Lin Yi immediately stepped forward and took her soft, boneless hand.
If he couldn’t appease this granny,
The territory’s combat strength would suffer a heavy blow!
As the Lord,
He had a necessary duty, an obligation, to resolve this misunderstanding that shouldn’t exist.
Even self-sacrifice was for the development of the territory!
He adjusted his voice, saying somewhat deeply, “I’m sorry, Sister Yi.”
As soon as these words came out,
One could clearly see Xiang Yi’s delicate body tremble slightly.
“Today, you went on an expedition. I should have prepared to welcome you in advance.”
As he spoke, Lin Yi could feel her cold small hand gradually warming up.
He stole a glance from the corner of his eye.
Xiang Yi’s beautiful small face remained cold and dashing.
But a faint smile curled at her full red lips.
Opportunity!
Lin Yi remained calm, his other hand gripping her slender, sexy waist, saying with some remorse, “It was my oversight. Please forgive me!”
As soon as his words fell,
He moved forward again!
Xiang Yi only reacted then, her fair, pretty face a bit flustered, trying to retreat in a panic.
But she found that she was already against the wall.
“Lord… Lord…”
Hot wine fumes mixed with a hint of fragrance entered Lin Yi’s nostrils.
Sister Yi…
Lin Yi himself got goosebumps hearing it.
He felt like the accelerator was welded down; if he gave up halfway, there was no telling how this girl would laugh at him later.
There was no getting out of this car now!
“Don’t speak…”
Lin Yi had thick skin, and with great affection, he pressed his head forward.
Smack!
Their lips met tightly.
He easily pried open her unguarded silver teeth.
The unexpected turn of events made Xiang Yi’s eyes widen in unison.
She instinctively tried to push him away.
But when she extended her hands, she couldn’t muster any strength, only managing to press them tightly against Lin Yi’s chest.
Not only did she fail,
Their situation became even more ambiguous.
Gradually, her body grew hotter.
She finally closed her eyes, slowly sinking into the moment.
After a long while,
Their lips parted.
“Lord… let’s… let’s do it another day.” Xiang Yi turned her head to one side, looking at the starry sky, with a last trace of stubbornness in her tone, “I don’t like being passive…”
“Alright, alright, alright…”
Lin Yi licked the wine-flavored saliva from the corner of his mouth, chuckling, “Let’s go, my dear, come with this Lord to recruit heroes.”
Passive is good!
But the most crucial thing was that he didn’t have the stamina to face a Fourth-tier opponent again.
Thinking back,
Today’s main task was still to recruit new heroes!
Another day of extreme indiscipline!
