Green Ridge City Villas.

  After the system upgrade, Li Rui was a bit bloated, this time bringing too many things, nearly a ton.

  I've never carried anything so heavy before, fortunately 'Jiemen' was powerful and managed to squeeze it in. But 'Guanghai' has thinned out a lot.

  After organizing things into categories, Mel heard the noise and walked over. The younger sister had just finished her ether infusion and was wearing tight shorts and a belly-baring tank top, revealing her exquisite figure.

  Watching her walk over with a swaying figure, Li Rui's eyes flashed brightly for an instant, and his mind quickly calculated:

  Mei'er has just finished her Ether Refining, and is at her most sensitive and weak state! I spent 6 days recovering on Blue Star, and even learned some advanced techniques like Ti Gang and Bu Xin online! And to top it off, I have a hidden killer move -

  Opportunity! It's time for revenge! Don't blame me, who let you bully me all the time with your refined skills.

  Li Ruiying rushed up and slapped the girl's chest with a loud slap, issuing a challenge to duel. The girl had never been afraid before, and immediately stuck to him to start fighting. The young super-body was full of vitality and strong desires, and his combat power did not decrease at all.

  Li Rui smiled sinisterly and launched his killer move - 'Powder Break Battle Technique'!

  Crushing is an extremely practical combat technique that can even be used bare-handed. After mastering it, theoretically any blunt object can be activated.

  This martial skill is very much to Li Rui's taste, so he has put in a lot of effort and has already mastered it. Now that he uses the blunt instrument on his body to launch the martial skill, its power is enormous! The effect is extremely good!

  Mei'er's eyes narrowed instantly, and she let out a sharp cry as her entire body turned bright red! It looked like she was about to...

  Li Rui was delighted with his training results and was about to thoroughly defeat his opponent when he shockingly discovered that Merle had also used her unique "Powder Break Battle Technique"!

  "Impossible! You've spent all your energy on family swordsmanship, how could you master 'Crushing Battle Technique'!"

  Born with a disadvantage, Li Rui wanted to temporarily retreat and catch his breath. But Mei Er didn't give him this opportunity, wave after wave of "Powder Shattering Battle Technique" was launched, in Li Rui's "Impossible! This can't be!" cries of despair, he was completely overwhelmed.

  The battle ended, Li Rui lay on the ground like a dead fish, his eyes dull and lifeless, as if he couldn't accept his own defeat. Mei'er, on the other hand, looked radiant and refreshed after her victory, with a subtle glow to her skin, as if she had just taken a bath in some kind of high-efficiency restorative medicine.

  The girl stretched out her white and slender legs, giggling and teasingly kicking her companion.

  "I learned how to play Smash Bros. when I was a kid and just mastered it a few days ago~"

  Watching Li Rui motionless, he maliciously stuffed a garlic-like tender toe into his nostril, making it very large.

  Originally sprawled on the ground, Li Rui suddenly made a 'turtle head', and in a flash, he bit down on Mei Er's foot, holding it tightly without letting go.

  The girl screamed and started fighting.

  Days passed one by one in a dull life until the news came that the consultant had agreed to meet.

  ~~~~

  The airship is about to arrive, and Ariyani Hoshiro doesn't want to waste the opportunity, so she's writing a letter to her distant relatives in the Imperial Capital.

  Compared with formal letters, original letters are not only affordable but also more full and true in terms of emotions and intentions.

  Dear sister

  Life in Greenhaven isn't as wonderful as I imagined. I thought coming to the 'Frontier Territory' would allow me to leisurely receive my salary and study magic, occasionally creating some strange objects and spell scrolls to enjoy the admiration of the locals.

  Who would have thought that apart from providing magical support, I'd also have to participate in governance and even spend my energy helping the lord's children create strange objects? This is completely not the leisurely life I imagined.

  Even the annual spring hunt went awry, resulting in a head-on battle with the Kiri sect. I wasted a lot of energy, and the loss of rare items and spellcasting materials was severe.

  There is a rare snake man caster captive, and it was taken away by the city lord. It's hard to imagine what kind of hobby Lady Xia Dati has, which is even more abnormal than that of the nobles in the Imperial City.

  Fortunately, although the lady is lazy and loves weird things, she is generally a qualified leader, and the city develops well.

  You definitely wouldn't believe that the lady's strength can rank among the top three in the Empire! 'Soul Stirring Melody' is also a powerful battle technique that I have only seen once in my life, it's really too astonishing, and hard to imagine how she cultivated it!

  Green Ridge City is too comfortable, the people here have not experienced the brutal and tragic wars of other ethnic groups. The snake people are absolutely problematic, now everyone's attention is on the 'Airship Festival', no one cares about them.

  I have already sent word to friends stationed in nearby cities to remind them, hoping that nothing big happens.

  The rural nobles are all infatuated with a sacred bloodline transcender. How short-sighted, the strong rely on their own heart, not their bloodline.

  Dearest sister, I believe you are a true strong one, but still want to remind you - be cautious and serious in your own spell research.

  It is human nature to fear the unknown, and our craft is no exception. The 'Necromancy' in the Holy Land has never been a respected art, but it's only recently that it has become so reviled.

  Apart from the evil deeds of cultists, long-term exposure to the dark side of ether also has negative effects, which you are well aware of.

  As the teacher said:

  "Magic has no justice or evil. Beware of indulgence, maintain restraint, and never stop tempering your mind."

  Looking forward to your reply

  Forever loving you, little brother - Yani

  ~~~~~

  He carefully sealed the letter and rubbed his shiny head again, thinking of another annoying thing.

  The servant came again with Li Rui's visiting request.

  The consultant had some resentment towards Li Rui. On the battlefield, he released a super-large-range, indiscriminate purification spell 'Holy Ground', which rendered many of his equipment useless and nearly bankrupted him.

  Although generous in battle, the advisor was not a wealthy man. Poverty not only limited his imagination but also suppressed his climb on the path of spellcaster.

  The high society thought the lady didn't care about her untalented daughter, but unexpectedly Mel rose through the ranks in a short period of time and even found a more talented partner. The lady's attitude changed obviously, supporting the two multiple times.

  As an Imperial Envoy's advisor on magical matters, he bears the duty of guiding the Lord towards the imperial household.

  The lady's precious bloodline descendants should be given due attention. The royal family needs time, Your Highness is the true 'Chosen One', and will surely open the gates of eternal gold.

  "Ms. Xia's support is crucial and cannot be lost!"

  What's coming will still come, this matter can't be pushed away.

  The consultant thought to himself: After all, they are just two bumpkins from remote areas, shouldn't be difficult to deal with. Spend 10 minutes to quickly get rid of them and earn some small change before the airship arrives to buy some things.

  He summoned an invisible servant, handed him a note written in haste, and the servant flew to Li Rui's home.
