Chapter 3676: Gourmet Guide

Inside the jewelry store, Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei looked at the store door in front. Through this store door, they all seemed to be able to feel the faint blood aura drifting over.

Moon Apostle suddenly felt the lights in the jewelry store flicker, and then the lights became very dim, and the lighting effect was greatly reduced. The jewelry store, which was originally surrounded by pearls and emeralds, became dilapidated, like an ancient tomb deep underground. The store clerk lady, who was gentle and kind just a moment ago, now had her hair disheveled, and the atmosphere of the entire jewelry store suddenly became extremely eerie.

Slap~

Mo Lei lightly slapped the back of Moon Apostle's head. The fantasy in Moon Apostle's eyes shattered like bubbles with a 'slap'. Immediately after, Mo Lei said: "What are you staring blankly at? Are you fantasizing about some strange scene again?"

"No... no."

Moon Apostle pulled down her pajama hood to cover most of her cheeks. Judging from that slightly flushed little face, this kind of fantasy was a common occurrence.

Hao Mei looked outside through the slightly opened door crack and said: "What to do, blocked by this guy. How about taking the back door?"

"I estimate that the back door is blocked by a dog."

Mo Lei was experienced in this and knew that the back door must be blocked.

"Then, shall we slip away using space items?"

Moon Apostle took out a pocket watch, but Mo Lei snatched it away and flicked Moon Apostle's forehead with her finger, causing Moon Apostle to squat on the ground holding her forehead in pain.

"Are you stupid? We are afraid of being caught, isn't it because we are afraid that our wallets will be hurt? Using this item is not as good as being caught by White Night."

Hearing Mo Lei's words, Moon Apostle rubbed her forehead. Thinking carefully, it was indeed the case.

"Wallet injury is one aspect, the key is that this guy always makes us do strange things."

Hao Mei spoke. Hearing this, the corner of Mo Lei's eye twitched, and she corrected: "That's called things that don't quite conform to the notarization rules, not strange things. Don't talk nonsense."

"Then... then I'll negotiate this time."

Moon Apostle was rarely tough for once, but it was also a tough tone that was a bit weak.

"Why? You have never liked negotiating with people."

Hao Mei took out a wine bottle, opened it, gulped down a few mouthfuls, and then breathed a sigh of relief comfortably.

"You two negotiate, and I always get implicated and beaten."

Speaking of this, Moon Apostle became angrier the more she spoke. Just as she was preparing to continue speaking, Mo Lei on the side had already pushed open the store door and walked toward the opposite side of the street, finally stopping in front of the bench.

"……"

Su Xiao looked at Mo Lei and continued to read today's newspaper.

"Speak, how much do you want to blackmail."

Mo Lei crossed her arms, her tone incomparably tough.

"Have I blackmailed you?"

Su Xiao folded the newspaper in his hand and threw it into a trash can a few meters away.

"You..."

Mo Lei's words were just about to come out when she suddenly remembered that every time she was blackmailed, she was first beaten until she was 'voluntary', which made her not know what to say for a moment.

"Find a place with fewer people to talk."

Mo Lei's tone was still tough.

When the sunset reflected large patches of fire clouds in the sky, in a park on the edge of the Fifth City District, Su Xiao was still sitting on the bench, and Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei were standing opposite him.

"Phew, come on."

Mo Lei released her aura, looking like she was prepared to fight Su Xiao one-on-one. Hao Mei drew the sharp sword from her waist, while Moon Apostle quietly retreated. She had already thought it through: after the fight started in a moment, she would lie down directly to avoid being beaten.

Clearly, both Morey and Hao Mei adhered to a principle: giving Soul Coins was fine, but not without resistance. Doing so would cause internal distress and hinder their strength growth. Conversely, after fighting a battle and only giving the Soul Coins when they truly couldn't win, their minds would instantly become clear and open.

"……"

Su Xiao frowned, not quite understanding what Mo Lei and Hao Mei were doing.

"Hurry up, come and fight a battle. I haven't eaten dinner yet, quite hungry."

Mo Lei made a move to pounce forward, testing the new energy-based control ultimate move she had mastered.

"I came to find you for cooperation, what are you doing."

Looking at Mo Lei's confusing behavior, Su Xiao's frown deepened. Hearing this, Mo Lei, who had already pounced forward, stopped immediately, almost flashing her waist.

"Cooperation? How to cooperate? Could it be that you beat us up, and then we are forced to give soul coins? Does this also count as a kind of cooperation?"

Mo Lei's words made Hao Mei on the side take a small step back. She looked at Mo Lei with concern, suspecting whether Mo Lei had awakened some incredible attribute after being beaten by White Night a few times.

"What you said is called blackmail."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Mo Lei muttered in a low voice: "So you admit in your heart that it is blackmail."

"Recently I obtained a fief, there should be quite a few hidden mineral veins there..."

Just as Su Xiao said this, Mo Lei had already sat beside him, grabbed his arm, and said: "We are old friends, you should have contacted us long ago."

Why did Mo Lei and Moon Apostle not look for transcendent mineral veins as usual, but instead did jewelry business? The reason was that among the Beastmen, the Dwarves, Cave Trolls, Lizard tribe, Giant Ant tribe, etc., were all tribes good at mining.

This led to more wolves and less meat, and various tribes secretly mining. Therefore, the Beastman faction appointed the Melt-Spider tribe, which lived underground, to supervise this matter. As long as they started digging mine tunnels deep, it was difficult to escape the sensing of the Melt-Spider tribe, especially in those places rich in minerals, where more Melt-Spider tribe members lived.

It was not that Mo Lei and Moon Apostle did not want to mine, as that was the source of happiness, but they tried to mine and almost got caught.

Mo Lei and Moon Apostle had lost their source of happiness for several days. At the moment, hearing that Su Xiao had obtained a fief, their eyes naturally shone. Past grievances were instantly written off.

Gulp gulp~

Hao Mei sat on the bench drinking wine. Mining had nothing to do with her. She neither knew how to mine nor had any mines. She had a chamber of commerce that did ore business.

"Let the two of us open up mineral veins on your fief, how about a 2-8 split? I have various costs here, and the two-tenths you get are net profits."

Mo Lei's eyes revealed hope, while Moon Apostle beside her was eating potato chips; she was not good at bargaining.

"3-7 split, this is already the limit."

"……"

Su Xiao still did not speak.

"4-6 split, cannot be more, any more and it will be a loss."

"……"

Su Xiao remained silent.

"5-5 split, I just want the happiness of mining, there is no profit anymore."

"……"

Su Xiao was still silent. This made Mo Lei incomparably miss the pleasure of digging up ore and putting it into the "Quality-Removing Liquid". Whether the ore was dim, emitted a charming faint light, or presented star-patterned energy veins, the quality of an ore depended entirely on its performance after being put into the "Quality-Removing Liquid". The pleasure of digging up highly rare ore was no less than the flashing of opening a treasure chest.

"Don't need your split, all the ore mined belongs to you."

As soon as Su Xiao said this, Mo Lei and Moon Apostle both stood up from the bench, retreated tacitly, and looked at Su Xiao with full vigilance.

"White Night, you... don't be so generous, I'm scared."

Mo Lei did not need to think to know that there must be a trap behind this windfall.

"As a return, I want the person among the three of you with the highest Void Tree credibility to be the notarization signer for that piece of fief."

The notarization signer Su Xiao mentioned could be simply understood as a representative figure. Whoever acted as this representative figure, when the Void Tree started notarizing the situation of that fief, the magnitude of reputation acquisition would be decided according to this person's Void Tree credibility.

In short, if Su Xiao, whose Void Tree credibility was -???, acted as this representative figure, the difficulty of reputation acquisition for that fief would soar directly to "Super·Invincible·Nightmare·Purgatory·Ultimate Enhanced Version". Perhaps destroying a Sea Race legion would only earn a hundred reputation points.

Facts proved that Void Tree credibility was sometimes very useful, especially when one wanted to become a commander of a faction in a mission world.

However, low Void Tree credibility was not unsolvable. Su Xiao's Void Tree credibility was low, which was true, but among Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei, there must be a high one.

After the three Apocalypse sisters looked at each other, they decided to use a recommendation form. Moon Apostle and Hao Mei pushed Mo Lei forward together, causing her to stagger a few steps.

"So, among the three of you, your Void Tree credibility is the highest?"

"Of course not, Moon Apostle is the highest."

Mo Lei tried to quibble.

"It seems it is indeed you who is the highest."

Su Xiao saw through Mo Lei's quibble on the spot, then took out two documents, which were fief mineral mining permits. With this thing, as long as it was within the fief managed by Su Xiao, no one would stop Mo Lei and Moon Apostle from mining.

"Deal."

Mo Lei was just about to take the two documents, but Su Xiao raised his hand, which made Mo Lei's eyes reveal suspicion.

"If during this period, the three of you abandon the identity of notarization signer and leave without authorization, my situation will be very passive."

While Su Xiao was speaking, he took out a contract. Seeing the contract of Reincarnation Paradise appear, Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei all revealed vigilance.

"Not signing, even if beaten to death, I won't sign."

Mo Lei's tone was firm. She had finally gotten rid of the domination of the "White Night Contract", and at the moment, she would absolutely not sign a new contract.

"Then forget it."

Su Xiao made a move to stand up and leave. The three Apocalypse sisters immediately blocked the front. Mo Lei and Moon Apostle were reluctant to give up the happiness of mining, while Hao Mei felt that this seemed to be a good opportunity, an opportunity to quickly improve her strength.

As early as a few days ago, Hao Mei discovered that there was an entrance to the "Hunter Guild" in this world. The problem was that if there was no solid backer, she would definitely be targeted by other hunters in this world. Hao Mei only wanted to hone herself through one bitter battle after another and did not want to engage in intrigue with those hunters.

At the moment, a Law Destroyer/Hunter/Beastman Lord with a fief was right in front of her. Joining this side in this world progress was obviously very good. The toughness of this backer was enough to persuade most old schemers to retreat.

"How about this, we won't sign the contract, but taking out some things as collateral is still possible."

While Mo Lei was speaking, she took out a pendant.

"I'm not interested in charm-type equipment. If it's collateral, it should be general currency."

"That's also right, then use soul coins as collateral. 5,000 for each of us?"

Speaking to the end, Mo Lei's voice became smaller and smaller. Even she herself felt it was too little.

"Then 50,000, not short of money."

Mo Lei gave a look to Moon Apostle and Hao Mei. The two each took out a 50,000 soul coin Apocalypse Paradise savings card. Counting Mo Lei's own, there were three cards in total. She used her brand authority to fuse them into one 150,000 denomination soul coin savings card.

"However~, after giving this collateral to you, how can I guarantee that I can get it back."

"Sign the contract."

"Eww~"

Mo Lei scratched her head. She used soul coins as collateral precisely because she did not want to sign the contract, but at the moment, she was going around in circles again.

"Rest assured, I guarantee in the name of the Law Destroyer."

When saying this, for some reason, Su Xiao suddenly remembered the previous generation of Law Destroyers like Xi Man Achide, Ma Wen Waltz, Green Gillian, and Old Law Destroyer. Even he himself felt that the name of the Law Destroyer was very unreliable.

"Then... alright."

Mo Lei handed out the savings card, but for some reason, the moment her hand let go of the savings card, she suddenly had a feeling that she had lost this thing forever and it was absolutely impossible to get it back. Guaranteeing in the name of the Law Destroyer, she would absolutely, absolutely not get this thing back.

"Hiss~, that's not right. Isn't this still giving money? There's no difference from before."

Mo Lei scratched her pink short hair hard. She suddenly discovered that in the past, she was beaten and gave money, while this time she was fooled and then took out money. It seemed there was a difference, but it also seemed there was none.

7:00 PM, in a barbecue restaurant on the pedestrian street of the Sixth City District.

This was a barbecue restaurant run by an old Troll couple. The waiter in the store was their daughter-in-law. The store was not big, but it was already full.

The barbecue was sizzling on the thick cast-iron flat pan. Mo Lei, Moon Apostle, and Hao Mei, who had already tasted a few pieces, were already a bit anxious waiting. In fact, all three were puzzled about how Su Xiao knew that there was such a delicious barbecue restaurant here.

This had to thank the "Ten Thousand Worlds Gourmet Guide" of the Goddess of Luck. This contained records of numerous gourmet restaurants in many worlds, and there were quite a few gourmet restaurants that were small shops that were difficult to discover.

Su Xiao chewed the barbecue in his mouth and crossed out the corresponding store name on the Gourmet Guide. On the road to becoming stronger, occasionally stopping at a gourmet restaurant was a very good choice. Moreover, Su Xiao's cultivation method was not about pursuing being emotionless and desireless. The Law Destroyer faction was not this kind of system. Among the top-tier combat power, even a guy with a bad personality like Green Gillian existed.

Su Xiao took out a bottle of Elemental Brew. Just as he took it out, he felt the straight gaze of Hao Mei opposite. After pouring a glass for each, Mo Lei drank it in one gulp, tasted it carefully, and said: "Seems to be good wine?"

Compared to Mo Lei, Moon Apostle beside her had a bitter face, looking at the half glass left in the glass. The only thought was that she had poured too much.

"Hahaha, another glass."

Hao Mei was obviously drunk. Baham hurriedly poured wine. With Hao Mei's drinking capacity, this was a big customer for Elemental Brew.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Mo Lei and Moon Apostle both proposed that they wanted to go to the fief now. But after learning that even Su Xiao himself had not been to that fief, Mo Lei and Moon Apostle were not in a hurry.

Obviously, Mo Lei and Moon Apostle both thought that this trip to the fief would definitely clash with the current power holders there. This was a Transcendent Origin World, and clashing with the current controllers of that fief was a normal daily routine for Su Xiao. But if the three Apocalypse sisters joined in, the danger level for them would be nightmare level. They had only been promoted to the ninth tier not long ago. This time coming to the Wind Sea Continent, they had non-combat missions to complete.

After saying goodbye to Mo Lei and the others, Su Xiao returned to the hotel where he was temporarily staying. He took out all the information about the fief. The first thing he saw was that the biggest city in this fief was named Twilight Winter City. Just looking at the name, one knew that this fief was a cold place, and at the moment, it had just entered the severe winter.

Compared to other fiefs, the fief range under the jurisdiction of Twilight Winter City was larger, but the population was only tens of millions. Don't think that this population was a lot. With the Beastman population of tens of billions, for a fief, a population of tens of millions was not a lot.

Although the climate was cold and the population was not a lot, the tribes under the jurisdiction of Twilight Winter City were generally fierce in combat power. There were six resident legions, but they did not go to the main battlefield. This was both because of the plight of the Twilight Winter City Lord and because of various problems within these six legions.

This vast fief covered by white snow was not just Twilight Winter City, which was a big city. Twilight Winter City was the representative of this place. Within the territory atmosphere, there were a total of ten big cities, and all were surrounded by towering rock city walls. This was also a matter of no choice. On the Wind Sea Continent, there were actually not many safe areas.

Ten big cities, each big city had a city lord, while Twilight Winter City was managed by the Lord. All the city lords under his command listened to the Lord's orders. When necessary, they could unconditionally summon all city lords to Twilight Winter City.

At the moment, the situation on the fief was that the little Lord Gurwei was still young, her butler had wolfish ambitions, colluded with two city lords, and the three of them colluded to hollow out the little Lord's power, making a gesture that that piece of fief was a force they commanded.

Regarding this kind of situation, Su Xiao was not worried. One of the purposes of him establishing the Lord Squad was to clean up those city lords who were making trouble on the fief.

Su Xiao put away the document. Grand Marshal Kane opposite the desk knocked on the cabinet on the side with his knuckles. Before long, a black shadow walked out from the shadow and whispered something in Grand Marshal Kane's ear.

"Understood, go down."

After Grand Marshal Kane drank some clear tea to moisten his throat, he said: "The few people you mentioned before will very likely go to a jewelry store in the Fifth City District in a few hours. Also, don't make a big commotion in Eternal Ring City."

"Oh."

Su Xiao stood up and walked out of the study. After leaving the mansion, he took the bus train toward the Fifth City District.

Three hours later, a jewelry store in the Fifth City District.

The store door was pushed open. Mo Lei, who had just sold a batch of jewelry, could be said to be in a good mood. Standing on the side of the street, she stretched, thinking about what to eat tonight.

"You two, don't dawdle. Selling some jewelry is so slow, I'm hungry."

While Mo Lei was speaking, her gaze looked around at the shops, looking for a dinner location tonight. Inadvertently, she saw a man holding today's newspaper sitting on a bench across the street, which made her gaze gradually become solemn, and she took a step back, retreating into the jewelry store behind her. Confirming the gaze, she had encountered the person she feared the most, and her mentality collapsed.

The two flapping store doors in front of Mo Lei stabilized. Moon Apostle and Hao Mei, who were just preparing to push the door out on both sides, were both made suspicious by Mo Lei.

"What's wrong with you, with an expression like you were robbed."

Hearing Hao Mei's words, Mo Lei pushed a crack in the store door in front. Moon Apostle and Hao Mei looked through the door crack and just happened to see the man sitting on the bench across the street. The expressions of both of them froze, and both took a small step back, standing in line with Mo Lei. The three looked at each other, and their mentalities all underwent quite a change. ===== CHAPTER 3677 =====

Mission penalty: Forced execution.

……

Su Xiao closed all notifications. This appeared to be a strategy management 'game', but in reality, it had another 'way to play': pay-to-win, paying to the point of death.

Previously, when raiding White Hoof Port, Su Xiao was not only after reputation points but also supplies. To say nothing of other things, the food supplies alone were very important.

Currently, the ten major cities in the fief each required at least 2,000 units of food supplies to survive this harsh winter, totaling a demand of 20,000 units. However, the food resources currently stored in Winter Twilight City did not exceed 500 units at most, let alone providing for the other nine major cities.

According to the information provided by Grand Commander Kane, among the remaining nine major cities, the two city lords who colluded with the lord's steward each had 700 units of food, while the other lords had less than 300 units of food resources.

In this situation, they could not ask the Beast King for help. The reason the Winter Twilight City fief was in such a state was that no legions had been sent to the main battlefield, so naturally, they could not receive food rations from the main city, Eternal Ring City.

As for why Winter Twilight City did not send legions, there was neither the salary to pay the Beast soldiers nor enough food for an expedition to the main battlefield, thus leading to a vicious cycle.

The reason Su Xiao considered this a 'pay-to-win game' was that after the raid on White Hoof Port, the spoils he obtained included 600 units of air-dried meat, over 200 units of grain, 70 units of alcohol, and in addition to that, 50 units of energy crystal grease.

These energy crystal greases were very valuable. Many merchants in the main city were willing to trade various types of food for them. 50 units of energy crystal grease could roughly be exchanged for 9,000 to 10,000 units of various foods, and more than half of that would be air-dried meat.

Before long, the room door was knocked on; it was the Spotted Fox Clan's Pilu, who had rushed back from the underground city.

Su Xiao handed a list of supplies and a warehouse key to Pilu. Pilu left in a hurry to handle the batch of spoils obtained at White Hoof Port. Those supplies were stored in the warehouse of the Third City District, where Amu and Ergein were currently guarding them.

Checking the time, it was already 8:00 PM. Su Xiao took out the communicator used by the Beast Clan and dialed the frequency from the fief data. Soon, the other side picked up; it was the steward of that puppet minor lord, Gurwei.

A calm voice that gave a sense of reliability came from the communicator: "May I ask, who is this?"

"The lord who is about to go to Winter Twilight City."

Upon hearing Su Xiao's words, the other side was silent for a few seconds, then said in a humble tone: "So it is Mr. Bai Ye. I welcome your arrival from the bottom of my heart."

There was not a hint of hostility in the steward's tone. Someone who didn't know better would think he truly welcomed Su Xiao to Winter Twilight City.

"Steward, you have worked hard all these years."

"I am grateful for the late Master's misplaced affection. Now that he is gone, as the agent he appointed before his passing, it is only right that I work hard."

The steward on the other side began to reveal his edge. It could be said that this was a guy who could endure a lot, but perhaps because he had endured for too long, now that he had gained power, he chose not to retreat an inch, clinging tightly to the lord's power he had once coveted.

"Steward, you should go on vacation. I will personally pay 100,000 Suoduo for you to take a vacation in Eternal Ring City. After the vacation, you can take a position here. I have already greeted Kane."

"This..."

The steward on the other side of the communicator seemed to be considering it, but in his heart, he had already made his choice. Winter Twilight City was his territory. A human from the outside, even if powerful, would at most be able to check and balance him upon arrival. He was unwilling to retreat without a confrontation.

"Lord Bai Ye, I regret that I cannot accept your kindness. We shall meet in Winter Twilight City."

At the same time, in the study of a mansion in Winter Twilight City, the steward, wearing black silk pajamas, hung up the communicator in his hand. With a smile, he looked at the two city lords across the table and said: "It seems our Lord Bai Ye has lost his patience."

Hearing this, the two city lords holding wine glasses both laughed. The three raised their glasses, clinked them, and formally formed an offensive and defensive alliance. They were all prepared to engage in a long and dangerous contest with the new lord.

And at this moment, in the hotel room where Su Xiao was temporarily staying in Eternal Ring City's Sixth City District.

Su Xiao put down the communicator in his hand, and Baha, who was on the side, asked: "Boss, how should we handle this?"

"Go ask Pilu if the people have arrived."

"Got it."

Baha flew away, while Bubu Wang, lying on the large hotel bed, stretched and yawned in a lying position. Although this idiot's tech-side level continued to soar, he was also becoming lazier. Now, he wouldn't stand if he could sit, and wouldn't sit if he could lie down.

Half an hour later, the room door was knocked on. After the Spotted Fox Clan's Pilu walked into the room, he tentatively asked: "My lord, they have all arrived. Should we wait a while to whet their appetites, or..."

"No need."

Su Xiao had the Spotted Fox Clan's Pilu lead the way and walked toward the banquet hall on the third floor of the hotel.

When the Spotted Fox Clan's Pilu in front pushed open the banquet hall door and Su Xiao walked in, he saw a Savage Bear Clan member, who was three meters tall even while sitting, grabbing a roasted beast leg with one hand and biting into it. He was eating with great relish. Clearly, the city lords of the Winter Twilight City fief were not quite the same as other Beast Clan city lords.

Su Xiao glanced at Ergein, who was guarding the inner door of the banquet hall. Ergein nodded, indicating that Harvey had already taken the lord's team and was heading toward the Winter Twilight City fief on the eldest son of the Abyss Dragon.

After Su Xiao took his seat, he found that all eight city lords had arrived, each bringing 2–3 confidants. Among these city lords were Savage Bear Clan, Red Dwarf Clan, Snake Clan, and Wolf Clan members, all currently gathered around the dining table.

"Don't be polite, eat first, then we'll talk."

Su Xiao casually picked up a plate of seafood noodles and ate it as a late-night snack. The eight city lords of the Winter Twilight City fief present looked at each other, and eventually, all began to enjoy their dinner. They had traveled from the Winter Twilight City fief via the teleportation tower, and some hadn't eaten dinner yet, so naturally, they wouldn't be too formal.

After they were full, Su Xiao took the eight approval documents handed over by Baha and had the Spotted Fox Clan's Pilu distribute one to each city lord. The Savage Bear city lord, who was sitting closest to the head of the table, finished his glass of strong liquor before starting to look at the contents of the document in his hand. The more he read, the more serious his gaze became, because this was actually an Eternal Ring City material requisition document. With this document, one could go to the designated department to collect 1,000 units of food supplies.

The most crucial point was that this was not an allocation, but a withdrawal; it was food pre-stored there, and having obtained this document meant there was no need to wait like an allocation. Even if they wanted it now, they could go and take it out immediately.

Seeing this, the Savage Bear city lord couldn't take his eyes off it. The major city he managed had less than 200 units of food inventory, and it was all low-quality grain. But the 1,000 units of food in this document had one-third meat, one-third high-quality grain, and the remaining third was seasonings, oils, and even strong liquor.

This made the Savage Bear city lord's heart beat a little faster, but soon, he discovered that this document lacked the most crucial seal: the lord's seal of the person before him.

"Everyone, I have been transferred to Winter Twilight City to manage this fief together with Lord Gurwei. I am personally very satisfied with this arrangement, but it seems there are some who are not prepared to let me go to Winter Twilight City."

Leaving these words behind, Su Xiao rose and left the table. The eight city lords present lowered their heads in silence. It wasn't until a few seconds after Su Xiao left the banquet hall that they raised their heads, rose from their seats, and quickly left with their respective subordinates. In those pairs of eyes, killing intent was surging.

After Su Xiao returned to the guest room upstairs, he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. He didn't know how long he had slept when the room door was knocked on. Amu was going to open the door, but Su Xiao raised his hand to stop him. He was shirtless and walked barefoot on the carpet. After opening the door, he found the eight city lords, led by the Savage Bear city lord, all standing outside, along with Ergein.

In the Savage Bear city lord's hand was a box stained with a little blood. Seeing that Su Xiao had opened the door, the Savage Bear city lord immediately opened the box and knelt on one knee, presenting the head inside to Su Xiao. This was precisely the head of the lord's steward. The look of astonishment on his face was still preserved vividly.

Baha, on Su Xiao's shoulder, saw this scene, looked down at the steward's head, and said: "I told you to come to the main city for a vacation, but you wouldn't come. You insisted on only sending your head over."

Su Xiao turned and walked into the guest room. The group of kneeling lords all rose and followed, walking into the room.

In the corridor, Ergein looked at the night view outside the window with a dazed expression. He felt at this moment that his lord did not seem to be as 'unskilled in strategy' as he claimed. This caused the rebellious spirit that had already grown in him to suddenly shrink back.
