Chapter 675: Chapter 54: Selanweir’s Cultivation and One of the Ten Treasures of Sulande Province: Earth Vein Compass_3

These riches are just enough for Philis to pay the salaries of 10,000 Heavy Armored Knights for a month.

Hesse Territory is merely a small Border Development Territory. Trying to support a gigantic Grand Prince’s Territory with it would exhaust Hesse Territory to no avail.

But as long as it alleviates for a month, it’s enough. Truly settling these knights from Sulande Province still requires the grand expedition to exempt their upkeep costs.

So after Bertrand left, Su Li said to Fastrick, "After tomorrow’s auction concludes, Chief Steward Hilude and I will lead the others back to Hesse Territory. You will take these riches to Sulande Province with Bertrand and others, and report our details to Philis. Especially regarding the grand expedition, suggest that Philis choose Oka Mountain as the target. This way, when their army and merchant caravans from Sulande reach the Border Prince’s Territory, we can further strengthen our connections."

Although Fastrick is usually a bit of a playboy, he is never ambiguous about serious matters. He firmly pounded his chest with his fist and said solemnly, "I will convey your intentions in detail to Prince Philis."

Then Su Li waved his hand and said, "Let’s all head back to rest. We shall attend the auction in the morning. Once it concludes, we will return to the territory without delay."

Even the intelligence opportunities of tomorrow, Su Li did not intend to bother with, because it was merely a matter of choosing whether to focus on the starting point or the destination for opportunities.

If he wasted a day in Marle Castle and on the road tomorrow, his return to the territory would be delayed by a day.

Not handling the intelligence on the road tomorrow would allow him an earlier return to the territory and unlocking of new information.

Given his dislike for unnecessary delay, he would certainly choose the latter.

Of course, if there were opportunities along the way that don’t consume time, like a Thief Gang or the City Guard Army hiding stolen goods under a bridge, he wouldn’t mind taking advantage of it!

After the guards dispersed, Su Li picked up the elegantly framed picture. Inside, his eldest daughter, with a small dimple, smiled happily; her gemstone-like eyes nearly squinted shut in joy.

Watching it for a while only increased Su Li’s yearning to bond with his child.

He then decisively put away the picture frame, took Hilude by her fair wrist, and headed back to the room, saying, "Come, let’s go back and review our tasks some more. Let’s have more children; though the stronger one is, the harder it is to conceive, diligence can make up for it!"

Hilude has never refused Su Li’s requests, always tenderly fulfilling his desires.

Meanwhile, Selanweir, a young maiden without such experiences, widened her eyes. She had already freshened up and was waiting on Su Li’s bed.

When Su Li and Hilude entered the room, she immediately hid her sweet and soft body under the covers, then witnessed a heart-racing knightly practice.

The curtains were not drawn, moonlight poured like silver gauze onto Hilude’s porcelain-white shoulders and neck. She leaned on the bed, her silk robe slipping to her elbows, her waist carved an exciting arc by Su Li’s arm.

Su Li adeptly untied Hilude’s hair tie with his fingertips, dark strands cascading like a waterfall. Hilude softly whispered: "Lord, there’s one more thing you forgot..." Her sentence got swallowed by lips that abruptly closed in, the sound sticky as melting beeswax.

Selanweir immediately bashfully covered her eyes with her hands, yet those mysterious glacier-abyss-like blue eyes couldn’t help but peek through the gaps. A sweet, intoxicating scent wafted from outside the quilt, one she recognized as Chief Steward Hilude’s perfume. Usually cool and fresh, at this moment, it was like joyous honey, sweet and soft, making her body limp.

Especially as Chief Steward Hilude’s robe slipped down, the snow-white fullness shone with a pearl-like luster under the moonlight, quivering slightly as Su Li nibbled her collarbone.

Selanweir felt as if she had drunk a cup of sweet yet tart berry wine, warming her entire body into a languid state.

The room’s temperature grew heated. Unknowingly, Philis’s lace nightgown was already tangled, her skin like creamy jade, glistening softly in the air.

Then she surprisingly smoothly underwent her first knightly practice with the Lord.

Moonlight served as gauze, the bed canopy hung low, three figures faintly visible, intertwined beneath the drapery.

It wasn’t until sunlight spilled through the window into the room that Selanweir drowsily opened her eyes, Dawn sprinkling on her slightly tousled hair, revealing on her pale skin the marks of intense practice from last night.

Last night was truly wild, practicing from midnight till almost dawn. She finally understood why so many enjoy such acts and willingly become Joy Prince’s minions.

After a first taste of the Forbidden Fruit, she was somewhat hooked, longing to stay intertwined with the Lord forever.

Even after waking, she couldn’t help but savor last night’s pleasant aftertaste.

Su Li was already fully dressed, smiling as he gazed at this Legendary Level potential Half-Elf maiden. Perhaps she could become incomparably powerful at Legendary Level in the future.

But currently, she was just an Initial Tier Apprentice Knight, having witnessed his intimacy with Hilude, easily stirred to a racing heart and heated body.

Then her tender form, in the exuberant practice, was easily conquered by Su Li. Su Li didn’t even employ any method, yet she trembled and submitted repeatedly.

Even if she grows to become a Legendary Knight in the future, she might never change her mindset of submission to Su Li.

Thus, Su Li, in high spirits, smilingly said to her, "Get up now. We’re just waiting for you to embark. Pack all your belongings; we’ll return to the territory right after the auction, without further delay here."
