You want to make me the devil, right?

“I don't know what she ate to grow up, to be so exaggerated.”

Back in the dorm, Xia En couldn't stop thinking about the scene he'd just witnessed.

It could be said that the flesh grew exactly where it should, with a slender waist, plump hips, and bountiful curves…

“Sleep, sleep ~”

Just as Xia En closed the door and was about to lie down and rest, he suddenly noticed a figure floating outside the window.

“Who are you?”

Xia En frowned and questioned the maid outside the window.

The maid simply took out a letter to indicate her purpose.

Delivering a letter?

Xia En opened the window in confusion, allowing her to enter his room.

Having received Xia En's permission, the maid immediately entered the room and handed over the letter.

At the same time, she said, “This is a letter from my mistress, Miss Tissia, for you. Please accept it.”

“Oh ~”

Xia En nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

A reserve member of the Hero Squad?

Wouldn't that make her his enemy?

Lost in thought, he opened the letter, which contained a note and a White Rose badge.

The reason for sending the letter was to invite Xia En to her residence to discuss cooperation.

As for the content of the cooperation, it was naturally to have Xia En join her mage club as a student.

It was like an anime club; students at Saint Hwa Magic Academy often banded together based on class, region, bloodline, and other factors to seek mutual support.

Just like the saying goes, school is a microcosm of society.

“Tell your mistress, I'm busy.”

Xia En folded the letter and returned the White Rose badge to the maid.

“Sir! My mistress is from the White Rose Merchant Guild…”

The maid was incredulous at Xia En's reaction and immediately explained Tissia's intention in sending her.

However, Xia En still replied indifferently, “I know, but I must decline.”

With that, he stuffed the White Rose badge into the maid's hand.

“You…”

The maid was stunned in place at that moment; it was the first time she had ever seen someone refuse her mistress.

They were the White Rose Merchant Guild!

One of the top chaebols in the Dawn Empire!

It could be said that they controlled the economic lifeline of the empire!

“Hmph! A country bumpkin from the border!”

The maid snorted coldly and immediately jumped out the window and left.

Her words before leaving left Xia En speechless.

What's wrong with a country bumpkin from the border?

Did he drink your family's milk?

…

“He refused?”

Tissia's slender jade hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, her beautiful eyes flashing with confusion.

“Yes, Miss,” the maid nodded.

“Did you tell him the conditions I offered? Did he read my letter?” Tissia pressed.

“I told him everything. I even explained Miss's identity to him in detail, but he still chose to refuse,” the maid said speechlessly. “It's the first time I've seen such a foolish man who can't even learn to size up the situation! I think he doesn't understand Miss's strength!”

“Heh heh heh ~ What an interesting fellow ~”

Tissia covered her mouth and chuckled, continuing, “Perhaps that's why Mina took a fancy to him. They're really a match made in heaven ~”

“But…”

Tissia's face instantly turned frosty, and she said coldly, “Even so, I will snatch him away. Mina can't have any friends by her side, unless she voluntarily yields to me.”

“Then, Miss?”

“Help me arrange a time. This young lady wants to meet him in person.”

“Yes.”

…

“Sister Yulisa, here are a hundred bottles of the new holy water.”

Xia En handed over 100 bottles of prepared holy water to Yulisa, and these only required one demon king crystal.

“Okay ~ I'll give it to Knight Mord when he comes,” Yulisa nodded, placing the 'holy water' aside.

Then, she continued, “I have some matters to attend to now. Mr. Xia En, could you wait for me in the prayer room for a while?”

“Oh, okay.”

Xia En responded and then walked towards the basement.

When he arrived at the prayer room, he immediately looked at the succubus nest.

Irene and five other succubi were resting in the nest, waiting for his instructions.

Xia En had naturally already decided on their duties. Once the Saintess Convent became his sales den, he would have the succubi join the convent and help Yulisa sell his demon tools.

“There are still five demon king crystals left. I'm not in a hurry to summon more succubi. It's more cost-effective to buy more Desire Water…”

Xia En planned the use of the demon king crystals. The production of demon king crystals was still too scarce, and every crystal had to be carefully calculated.

“Master! Master!”

Suddenly, Irene quietly appeared behind Xia En and whispered.

“What's wrong?”

Xia En turned around and asked Irene.

“My Lord Demon King, I obtained important information last night!” Irene reported excitedly.

“Oh? What information?”

“Sister Yulisa received the grace of a hero when she was a child!” Irene said.

“The grace of a hero?”

Xia En frowned upon hearing this.

The time of the previous Demon King's fall was thirty years ago, while the time when the hero went to the God Realm was one year later.

And only the hero who defeats the Demon King can transform his power into grace and bestow it upon the citizens of the Eria Continent.

That is to say, Yulisa's real age is between 30 and 40 years old?

But wouldn't that contradict the previous guess?

“Mr. Xia En, sorry to keep you waiting.”

Suddenly, Yulisa's voice came from outside the prayer room.

“I understand. You can hide now.”

“Mm-hmm!”

Irene immediately disappeared from the spot.

Immediately after, Yulisa came to Xia En with the prayer tools in her arms.

Xia En pointed to the wooden bucket filled with water in Yulisa's arms and asked in confusion, “Sister Yulisa, what is this for?”

“Of course, it's the highest level of prayer ~”

Sister Yulisa replied with a smile, “I guarantee you'll be satisfied ~”

“?”

Xia En was silent for a moment, looking at the bucket.

He saw a few rose petals floating on the surface of the clear warm water, exuding a faint floral fragrance.

“Rose petals?”

“Come ~ Please lie down.”

Yulisa soaked her hands and then gently crushed the rose petals, applying them to Xia En's skin.

The moist and smooth touch made Xia En feel unprecedented comfort.

Accompanied by Yulisa's soft murmurs and the crisp sound of the Saintess's bell, he fell into a sweet sleep in just a moment.

Just as Xia En slowly fell into a dream, Yulisa's lips curled into a meaningful smile: “This is my thanks to you ~”

As she spoke, countless rose thorns emerged from the ground, slowly wrapping around Xia En's body…
