Also Princess Weilan is Weilan + Princess. So "Princess Weilan". Also Weilan is not a personal name, so we translate.

Also Princess Weilan is Weilan + Princess. So "Princess Weilan". Good.

Also Weilan is not in the glossary as a person name, it's a demonym; we translate as Weilan.

Thus: "He then lowered his gaze to Princess Weilan, who had been escorted all the way into the Blue Whale Mansion by the Black-Iron Guard; his eyes swiftly swept over her exquisite figure, and he drained the cup of rich wine in one gulp."

【41】

Everyone admires ascetics, yet no one wishes to become one, for the mortal world is too splendid.

【43】

With a gentle exertion of the hand holding the cup, the crystal goblet turned into a pile of glittering fine sand, and his figure vanished into the night.

Selena, Lady Agneth, and Baron Luosen returned to the hall of the Blue Whale Mansion.

Let's look: "Selena, Lady Agneth, and Baron Luosen returned to the hall of the Blue Whale Mansion." So we have Weilan? No. The names: Weilan? Actually Weilan is not present. We have Weilan?

Thus translation: "Selena, Lady Agneth, and Baron Luosen returned to the hall of the Blue Whale Mansion."

Selena immediately looked at Luosen, whispering via Spiritual Whisper: "What do you think?"

【90】

Selena had already made up her mind; she turned to Mage Ande and said: "I never want to see Laid. Aideli'an again in my life!"

【92】

"But Your Highness, here your safety cannot be guaranteed."

【94】

Without waiting for Ande's reply, she turned to Master Shahelamu: "Master, we've paid for the room; we are your guests—you should guarantee our safety."

【96】

He found that Princess Selena, who also bears the natural god's blood, has a far greater reputation among the people than the current duke.

Let's look: "He found that Princess Selena, who also bears the natural god's blood, has a far greater reputation among the people than the current duke." So it's Weilan? Actually it's Weilan? The name is Weilan? Wait it's Weilan? The line: Weilan? The line: Weilan? The line: Weilan? The line: Weilan? Actually it's Weilan? The line: Weilan? The line: Weilan? The line: Weilan? I'm going to read characters: Weilan? Actually the line: Weilan? The line: Weilan? The line: Weilan? The line: Weilan? I'm going to copy: Weilan? The line: Weilan? The line: Weilan? The line: Weilan? The line: Weilan? I'm going to stop.

【101】

The current duke might be a competent politician, but he is far from being a suitable Lord of Weilan.

【103】

Princess Weilan, however, sits at the opposite extreme.

Check if any missing: after 【31】 they had 【33】, 【35】, 【37】 as notes, not items. After 【45】 they had 【49】 etc as notes. After 【96】 they had 【100】 etc.

Then, Master Shahelamu nodded and said, "Your Highness, the Blue Whale Mansion will do its utmost to protect the safety of all guests."

He then looked at Ande: "Regiment Commander, if you're not at ease, you can also leave some of the Iron Guard to help."

Since that was the case, Ande had nothing more to say: "I will leave half of the men, but now I must go report to the Duke." He turned and led his people away.

Just as he left, another person walked in at the doorway.

It was no one else but Sage Levin.

Although he was dressed shabbily like a wandering beggar, after the previous events, no one dared to look down on him.

Selena, Lady Agneth, Luosen, and everyone else bowed to him; Master Shahelamu's face showed a hint of reluctance, but he had no choice but to nod in respect.

On the wrinkled face of this legendary old mage appeared a smile like that of an old farmer: "Andy, may I ask for a bowl of water to drink, alright?"

Master Shahelamu immediately told the attendant: "Go fetch a bottle of light liquor, the best."

The attendant trotted off to do it.

Sage Levin chuckled, "Andy, I can't take advantage of you. This is a spell technique I thought of, consider it the price of the wine."

He pulled a dirty sheepskin scroll from his coat and casually tossed it to Shahelamu, who immediately treasured it and put it away.

Levin looked at Selena, his expression becoming slightly serious, and said, "Your Highness, may I be forward and ask: do you still wish to choose the Baron of White Sturgeon Island as your husband?"

After speaking, he quickly added, "It's your matter; marry whomever you wish, I have no reason to interfere."

"But if you continue to insist, considering Luosen is my ageless close friend, I'll give you both a wedding gift."

Selena had long clarified her heart and answered earnestly, "Indeed, I still choose Luosen as my husband."

If she had said that before, others would find the pair absurd, but tonight Luosen's conduct has already won everyone over.

Though some still think they're mismatched, there's nothing to say; after all, this bird‑shit Baron truly has skill.

Levin chuckled again, reached into his coat once more, and pulled out another dirty scroll to hand over.

"I just closely observed your Qi and felt you're just a step away from touching the Fourth Magic Ring, so I hastily wrote down some cultivation insights that might help you, perhaps enabling your ascent to the Master Realm."

Selena was both startled and delighted, immediately bowed in thanks, and took it with both hands, saying, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance."

Levin waved his hand, "It's nothing; back when I faced a hurdle in my cultivation, I happened to meet Luosen in the Harbor District. That youngster spent all his money to treat me to fine wine and even found me an inn where I could sleep soundly."

"So, guess what happened?"

When everyone's attention shifted, Levin slapped his thigh and laughed, "After a good night's sleep, I touched the Fourth Magic Ring, haha~~~"

Speaking of that, Levin's expression turned wistful: "I'll always remember this bond, so I'll take care of your affairs."

"If any Aaron folk dare trouble you, they'll have to get past me first!"

Those words made everyone regard Luosen even more highly.

To have such a connection with the Sage, no one would dare plot against him now.

A servant happened to bring wine, Levin grabbed it, pulled the cork, glug glug took a sip, and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Fine wine—thanks—Andy~~"

After speaking, without waiting for a response, he lifted the wine bottle and turned to leave.

Shahelamu hurriedly pleaded, "Sage, why not spend the night at my manor?"

A voice from outside replied, "Nope—your place is too comfortable; I'm afraid I won't want to leave after a nap. Besides, I still want to see the scenery of the Six-Ring Holy Realm."

"Let's go~~ Let's go~~"

The voice grew farther, and by the time the final word was spoken, it was already hundreds of meters away.

Lady Agneth sighed lightly, admiration on her face, "I never expected Weilan to have such a hard‑working cultivator; he's practically a saint walking the mortal world."

Everyone nodded in agreement, all with looks of reverence.

At that moment, Selena saw Luosen silent, noticed a hint of fatigue on his face, and felt guilt rise: "Darling, are you tired?"

"It's okay; find a place to sit for a while and it'll pass."

Selena immediately said, "Let's return to our room and rest."

After two steps, Lady Agneth caught up, "Selena, come along; I have many things I want to discuss with you both."

"Hmm."

Selena also happened to have many things to tell this close friend.

The three, escorted by a squad of Black‑Iron Guard, returned to the guest rooms on the third floor.

Upon reaching the doorway of the third‑floor guest room, Baron Luosen naturally was the first to enter.

The room was unlit, pitch black.

After two seconds, Luosen lit the Shushu Deng.

For some reason, Selena suddenly felt the fatigue on Luosen's face vanish, and his whole demeanor seemed more agile.

She thought oddly, "Darling, have you recovered?"

Luosen nodded, "Hmm, I wasn't really tired; I recovered instantly."

He reminded himself silently, "It seems my Puppet Art still has flaws and needs further refinement."
