Many young men and women carry flower baskets to their crushes, sprinkling petals, filling the entire city with the strong fragrance of lilacs.

  Li Rui went out of the city to welcome Shana and Advisor-sama who had arrived.

  He hugged the teacher, then bid farewell to the consultant with a smile, and it was impossible to see any discord between the two. Only when Li Rui inadvertently lowered his head could he see the gloom in his eyes.

  He has been resentful of the consultant's "slander" all along, but the enforcer is in a very high position and there is no way to retaliate for the time being.

  At this time, the three richest silver ranks in Green Ridge City gathered together again!

  Li Rui doesn't need to say, Teacher Shana has been running a tutoring class for a long time, and the consultant has his own factory. They are all small tycoons with savings. They came to support Yirulan, maintaining order during the auction period, and taking advantage of buying and selling.

  Ludong and Kali also came out to greet them. Before they could chat for a few sentences, Xiya arrived again.

  Li Rui stepped forward, and several green-collared individuals behind him exchanged a glance, whispering to each other.

  "This girl is coming too frequently, I think Lord Li Rui can't hold on anymore."

  "Can't we find a suitable Silver Rank in our Green Ridge City?"

  "So what if I find it? This sir is no ordinary person."

  They were extremely indignant about their own tender grass being rooted up by an outside pig.

  "Lord Li Rui, you are an outstanding young strongman from the Western Border. I represent the City Hall of Yirulan, and invite you to participate in the opening ceremony's gladiatorial performance of the auction."

  This is a traditional program often seen in large-scale events, no armor or weapons are used, and it's just for fun.

  After some thought, Lei Feng Huo's family was still quite decent, so Li Rui nodded his head in agreement.

  Sia was delighted to thank, then apologetically said: "I'm very sorry, the thing you asked me about the Creek family last time... it's a bit strange. I went there in person and they were evasive, saying that we'll talk after the auction is over."

  Li Rui smiled and waved his hand: "No need, I should thank you. Hope it won't cause trouble, after all this is very unreasonable."

  The inn was crowded with people and prying eyes, so the two of them had come to the Plaza Garden.

  Several extraordinary people saw Xiya hurry up, and they eagerly expressed their love and admiration by sprinkling many carnation petals on her body.

  Sia rejected them mercilessly and they left with disappointment on their faces.

  The girl's body has too many flower petals, and her hair and shoes also have them. She dances with her beautiful hair, bends down to pat, and the curve is wonderful, charming and extraordinary.

  "These pursuers are so annoying, it's as if they can't wait to pounce on me. Especially those men from the North Territory, always looking at me with lewd eyes. And the City Lord is really something, why did he agree to such outrageous conditions? Do you know? The North Territory wants to impose taxes on the West Territory! What nerve!"

  "Isn't their urgency a testament to your great charm? The tax increase... it's all over town. But I'm sure Lord Rui will handle it properly."

  The girl has been very busy lately and poured out her troubles to Li Rui. Li Rui listened patiently, comforted her, and didn't show any impatience at all.

  As they walked and chatted, he reached out to brush aside the rose branch that was blocking Xiya's face. It was a very ordinary action, but his sister looked very happy.

  Thinking of those rough men I've met in the past, I suddenly feel that it's not bad to be with such a strong person.

  "Mr. Li is really considerate, it's great to be with you. I have a lot of things to attend to, so I'll take my leave first, hoping you can get the item you want at the auction."

  "Wishing you happiness and everything going smoothly."

  The girl bowed and curtsied, Li Rui also returned a courtesy, seeing her off in the distance before returning to the inn.

  Yilan Southeast

  Ten sturdy men carried a huge cloud bed with quick steps, and the guards were all riding terrifying giant scorpions.

  Along the way, wild beasts fled in a panic as if they had met their natural enemies. Even the powerful monsters of the Silver Stage were frightened and abandoned their nests without daring to look back.

  The cloud bed was surrounded by thin gauze on all sides, and on the bed were two beautiful women with bare skin, their bodies wrapped only in a thin, almost transparent veil that was even thinner than the gauze.

  The mosquito netting was slightly lifted, and one of them suddenly disappeared from view, only to reappear instantly beside a tall silver apricot tree by the roadside.

  "Aisha look! The plants in the west are so strange, they grow so tall."

  With a gentle effort, this nearly 70-meter-tall giant tree was uprooted and presented to another woman on the cloud bed.

  A woman named Aisha turned her head stiffly, her eyes dull and stupid-looking, her mouth only able to repeat "Ai Qi, Ai Qi" in a daze.

  "Come on, I'll let you play with it ~"

  With a wave of his two hands, he flung this giant tree that pierced the sky over here, and a low whistle sounded as it stirred up intense air pressure.

  The team was in an uproar, the giant scorpion was frightened and cowered on the ground, but no one dared to move. Aisha stared blankly at the giant tree that was getting closer and closer, her eyes suddenly turned bright red, shooting out two sharp beams of light.

  Trees with a diameter of 7 meters were instantly reduced to ashes and disintegrated in the air, leaving only faint sparks scattered around.

  Aisha's eyes returned to normal, but her mouth was still murmuring "Eiji, Eiji".

  "Haha, we don't have this thing in our southern territory, take a closer look and don't destroy it with rays"

  Aki burst out laughing and flashed back to the cloud bed, resting her head on Aisha's thigh and lying down comfortably.

  ~~~~~

  Such a violent movement quickly triggered the vigilance of the city, and three figures rushed into the sky.

  Looking at the golden strongmen surrounding her, Aki smiled and said: "Lord Rui, don't be so excited, I'm just bored and stretching my body."

  Lui hovered in mid-air, his expression neither sad nor joyful, and said indifferently: "Honorable Southern Border Guardian, extraordinary twins, welcome to the Western Border. Your esteemed presence has arrived, what is your intention?"

  Akira lazily reclined, one hand propping up her cheek, her beautiful figure on full display.

  "What else can we do in Yilan at this time? Of course, it's to attend the auction! Don't worry, we're not here to cause trouble, but we've brought a lot of good stuff."

  With a wave of his hand, the guard hastily displayed the treasures he had brought - Entropy Ball, Life Binding Root, Diamond Heart, and various amber, indeed expensive specialties from the south.

  Rui Gu's expression eased slightly as he bowed and said:

  "Thank you for your kindness, I have prepared accommodations for both of you, please don't be displeased."

  "Ai Qi burst out laughing: "Haha, you're too meticulous! If others didn't know better, they'd think we're super close friends~ Hahaha!"

  Ignoring the arrogant laughter, displaying their power and giving a subtle warning, the three of Rui flew back to the city.

  Along with him were Bart Crush and another Western Gold ranker who had come to reinforce, Zuke Ryūkotsu, the lord of Ryūkotsu Castle.

  ~~~~~

  Aisha stared blankly at her sister, oblivious to the tense atmosphere, and gently touched her face, murmuring "Ai Qi Ai Qi".

  Aiqi smiled and enjoyed her sister's caress, then leaned close to her ear and whispered:

  "Aisha, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"

  After kissing her sister's cheek and going all the way down, Aisha's murmurs became urgent.
