"Loke, we want to go shopping. Do you want to come with us?" Princess Silvia asked Laurist as she entered the study.
"Huh? Didn't we just walk around for a whole day yesterday? "Laurist looked up from the book in his hand and asked in surprise.
"What? Yesterday, I accompanied the new queen for a day in the palace. I looked at the souvenirs left behind by the so-called Chrison Royal Family and the precious flowers in the garden. I played with the queen's little pet and drank a lot of tea in the afternoon. That's not shopping, that's socializing. It's like you guys drinking together after a while.
Today, we're going to the most famous commercial street in the imperial capital, Royal Avenue. I heard there's a discount there during the festival, and there's a lot of fashionable women's clothing coming in from Morent City. We want to take a look … "Princess Silvia walked in front of Laurist and tried to pull him up from his chair.
Laurist stood up and gently hugged Princess Silvia in his arms. He kissed her forehead and said, "My dear, I don't have to go. I have to meet some guests later. I made an appointment with them in the palace yesterday. You guys go ahead and have fun. Buy whatever you like. Oh, and be careful … "
Princess Silvia tiptoed and kissed Laurist on the lips. "Alright, we'll go then. Don't worry about safety. My godmother will come with us."
Princess Silvia's godmother was Swordmaster Shandi. Laurist was just saying it casually. In fact, the imperial capital was very safe now. Not to mention Laurist's family, any family member of a noble would not encounter any danger on the streets. Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face to the second prince. He would not let go of anyone who dared to cause trouble for his festival.
Looking at Princess Sylvia's back as she hurriedly left, Laurist rubbed his nose. Whether it was on Earth in his previous life or the current Galinthea Continent, women's hobbies for shopping were exactly the same. There was no difference at all. Even though she was the matriarch of the Norton Family, Princess Sylvia was no different from any other woman when she heard about a discount. Even if the items she had snapped up were of no use to her, it did not stop her from buying them on the spot. At the very most, she would regret it when she got home and give the items to someone else …
Alright, Lollister wasn't trying to slander him. Not far from the east gate of the Northern Raging Bear City were five noble districts. When Lollister was planning these five noble districts, he purposely opened up a high-end business district in the middle to provide the nobles and their families with the most fashionable and trendy goods in the Galinthia Continent, as well as various leisure and entertainment venues suitable for these nobles and their wives. That was the most prosperous and noble area in the entire Northland. Ordinary Northland residents were not allowed to enter without a guarantor …
What Loriste didn't expect was that his five wives had become the most popular regulars in the business district. Most of the pocket money given to them every month was spent on discounted goods. The problem was that most of these goods were produced by the family's subordinate workshops. However, Princess Silvia and Lollister's four concubines enjoyed the joy of spending their own money on discounted goods.
Alright, once, Lollister and Duke Kempis were chatting excitedly about how to make his maidservants wear sexy clothes. Lollister casually drew a few backless dresses that the celebrities in his previous life wore, and Duke Kempis took them away as if they were treasures. Not long after, these backless dresses were solemnly recommended by the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce as the most fashionable and sexiest women's clothing of the year. Moreover, Duke Kempis had the women's clothing decorated with countless sparkling gemstones, making it suitable for the nobles' aesthetic standards.
In the morning, these backless dresses were put on the market. In the afternoon, when Princess Silvia and her four concubines received the news, they each went to buy one. However, when they returned, Princess Silvia discovered a huge problem. As Lollister's official wife and the matriarch of the Norton Family, was it too frivolous to wear such a backless dress? After thinking for a long time, Princess Silvia had no choice but to reluctantly part with it. In the end, she decided to gift this backless dress to Fina Jari. This was because Fina Jari's figure was most suited for such a sexy backless dress. Moreover, as a concubine, there was no harm in wearing something pretty.
By the same logic, Delia, Fina Jari, Daisy, and Maria were also considering this problem. After all, these backless dresses were actually designed for Duke Kempis's maidservants on the Platinum Beach. They were meant to be sexy and seductive. Although they were Lollister's concubines, they still had to consider Lollister's image when dressing up. Therefore, the four women's final thought was to gift their backless dresses to Princess Silvia. If she could wear it as the official wife, then they could wear it as well. At worst, they could just buy another one …
Princess Silvia gifted one dress to them, and in the end, she received four. Only then did she realize that everyone had bought one. This made Lollister laugh for half a month. However, considering that these backless dresses were not suitable for formal occasions, they could only wear them in the boudoir for Lollister to see.
Lollister was actually fine, but he could not be bothered to go shopping with his five wives. Coupled with his large group of children, he could guarantee that this shopping trip would be very lively. Lollister was a person who liked peace and quiet, and he was afraid of such a scene. Spending time with his wife and children in the noble district's business district had already made Lollister afraid. To be honest, Lollister would rather have a duel with a Sword Saint than accompany Princess Silvia and the others. It was too tiring, and it was a form of mental and physical torture.
Lollister could not understand why a woman would haggle for half a day with the shop owner for an item that she liked, only to end up selling it for a few copper coins. It was not like he was poor, so why would he save a few copper coins? Yet, his wife looked as if she had returned triumphantly from a great bargain, and when she returned, she could even brag about it to others for half a day …
Although Princess Silvia was as beautiful as an elf, she still behaved like a little girl in this aspect. Of course, this was the most adorable part of Princess Silvia in Lollister's eyes. She was already a mother of two children, but she still maintained her innocent personality. When she returned from shopping, she would flaunt her spoils of war in front of Lollister, which made Lollister feel both angry and amused.
Genolio knocked on the door of the study with a look of pleasant surprise, interrupting Lollister's reverie. "Your Highness, Lord Ross the Ferocious Tiger has returned, and he has been promoted to a Great Swordsman …"
"Quick, let him in." Lollister was also very happy. Two years ago, Ross the Ferocious Tiger had abandoned the Flying Tiger Legion and disappeared. He only left a letter saying that he felt an opportunity to become a Great Swordsman and left without saying goodbye. Now, he was finally back, and he had even successfully become a Great Swordsman.
Soon, Ross the Ferocious Tiger walked into the study. "Your Highness, I'm back."
He then threw a large bundle of long bamboo tubes on the ground. Lollister felt that these long bamboo tubes were somewhat familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen them before. Moreover, he was also a little curious as to why Ross the Ferocious Tiger would bring these long bamboo tubes into his study instead of leaving them outside. "It's good that you're back. Where did you go to become a Great Swordsman? The family could not find your whereabouts for the past two years, and they were very worried about your safety. "
"Hehe, Your Highness, I went to the Ruined Islands to advance." Ross the Ferocious Tiger chuckled. "The magical beasts there are ferocious and violent, which is very suitable for me to train and understand. You see, I've already succeeded. That's right, I also brought you a gift. "
Lollister was speechless. Now he knew what these long bamboo tubes contained. It was a specialty of the Ruined Islands, the gospel of men, the famous Terence's Donkey's Penis. Back when he was still a Black Iron instructor at the Dawn Academy, he had signed a few unfair agreements with the old fox Levins before he joined the Dawn Academy's expedition to the Ruined Islands to undergo life and death training.
Because of Ell's request, he had brought back two Terence's Donkey's Penises. In the end, he and Ell had started a small business of cutting the Terence's Donkey's Penises into glass bottles and selling them. However, this business was quickly taken by a certain merchant group in Morent City, and they ended up monopolizing the Terence's Donkey's Penises from the Ruined Islands.
"Bastard, do I look like the kind of man who needs these things?" Lollister said angrily. Now he understood why Ross the Ferocious Tiger wanted to bring these long bamboo tubes into his study. "However, since you have good intentions and specially brought them back, I'll reluctantly accept them. Genolio, pack these things up and take good care of them. "
Ross the Ferocious Tiger looked at Lollister with disdain. "Your Highness, your skin is getting thicker and thicker. I didn't say I would give them all to you. I've only made eleven in the past two years. At most, I can give you three, one for Bodefinger, one for Malek, and half each for Dorus and Mason. I only have five left for myself. Padt even asked me what these are when we were outside, but I didn't tell him. I'm afraid he'll try to snatch them from me … "
Lollister's face turned red from embarrassment. "What do you want so many for? At most, we can split them in half."
"No way," Ross the Ferocious Tiger refused firmly. "Three is the most I can give. You can eat them every day for two or three years, Your Highness. Besides, didn't you just say that you don't need these things? "
"Alright, up to you." Lollister did not want to argue anymore. It would be embarrassing if others found out that he was using these things as a man. "You said you were going to become a Great Swordsman. If not for the fact that you've already succeeded, I would have suspected that you went to the Ruined Islands to get these. These things aren't easy to get, right? "
Ross the Ferocious Tiger was beaming with joy. "Of course, Your Highness. You don't know that these wild donkeys are very agile. They'll run away as soon as there's any movement. They're as fast as lightning, and it's hard to even catch them, let alone hunt them. My eleven donkey whips are wild, and they're many times more effective than those domesticated ones. I've spent a lot of effort hunting them … "
The main reason why the Terence donkeys' whips were so effective was because they liked to eat a plant called the Sunjoy Grass in the wild. This plant had a certain aphrodisiac effect, and was also the main ingredient in a nourishing nutrient potion. Because the Terence donkeys ate this plant all year round, the medicinal effects accumulated on their genitals, causing them to grow abnormally long and thick, giving them a strong aphrodisiac effect. Anyway, that was what the Magical Beast Encyclopedia said, so the Terence donkeys became people's favorite prey. It was said that there weren't many wild Terence donkeys left on the Ruins Islands anymore. The Terence donkeys commonly seen on the market were mostly domesticated ones, and the effects of their whips weren't that obvious.
Ross the Ferocious Tiger was very pleased with himself as he chatted with Lollister about how he'd used his wisdom and courage to hunt these wild Terence donkeys. In the end, Lollister had no choice but to interrupt him and ask how he'd found the capital. Ross the Ferocious Tiger said that he'd docked at Cangjin Bay on his way back and met Shihuad. Shihuad told him that Lollister was going to attend the second prince's coronation, so he'd come straight to the capital.
"I saw that the kid was living with his wife, so I wanted to give him a donkey's whips. I didn't think that the kid wouldn't appreciate it, and said that he didn't need it when he was young. He'd regret it in the future." The kid that Ross the Ferocious Tiger was complaining about was Shihuad.
"Alright, can you not talk about this anymore?" Lollister said helplessly. Ever since this guy came back, all the topics revolved around this damn Terence donkey's whips. "If you give Bofinger and Malek donkey's whips, they'll be very grateful. But I think that since you've already become a Great Swordsman, why don't you spar with Bofinger after we return to the family territory after His Majesty's coronation? You're good at offense, and he's good at defense. Now that you've become a Great Swordsman, you'll be able to suppress Bofinger in terms of swordsmanship and fighting aura. You'll force him to unleash his potential and temper himself, so that he can quickly comprehend and become a Great Swordsman … "
This was serious business. Ross the Ferocious Tiger nodded. At this moment, Duke Kempis came in. As a neighbor and good friend, he could enter Lollister's study as he pleased. However, he didn't pay attention to the ground when he came in, and almost tripped over a long bamboo tube on the ground.
"What is this?" Duke Kempis asked.
"Terence donkey's whips, mine." Ross the Ferocious Tiger spoke quickly. Besides, he didn't care about Duke Kempis at all. In his eyes, the Silver rank was nothing.
This was good stuff. Duke Kempis' eyes immediately brightened. "Dear Ross, I'm glad to see you back. By the way, are you going to sell all these Terence donkey's whips? I'll give you a price that you'll be satisfied with … "
"Not selling." Ross the Ferocious Tiger rejected Duke Kempis immediately. He didn't lack money at the moment.
Facing Duke Kempis' pleading gaze, Lollister shrugged, indicating that he couldn't do anything. Ross the Ferocious Tiger didn't even give him face. When he said he'd give three, he meant it. This time, Lollister was glad that he'd asked Genolio to pack up the three long bamboo tubes. Otherwise, Duke Kempis would turn around and ask him to buy them.
Since he didn't lack money, he needed something. Knowing that Ross the Ferocious Tiger had just returned from the Ruins Islands as a Great Swordsman, Duke Kempis used the excuse of congratulating Ross the Ferocious Tiger. He pulled Ross the Ferocious Tiger to hide in a corner and whispered to him. Soon, he saw Ross the Ferocious Tiger beaming with joy. He generously stuffed a long bamboo tube into Duke Kempis' arms. "We're brothers. Why are you talking about money?
Take it. "Lollister looked at Duke Kempis unhappily. Don't think that Lollister wouldn't hear you whispering in a corner. This guy said that he wanted to welcome Ross the Ferocious Tiger, and that he was going to find a few ladies to accompany him during his stay in the capital. He also said that these ladies were very warm and open, and they were also very beautiful. He guaranteed that Ross the Ferocious Tiger would be satisfied. This pimp made Ross the Ferocious Tiger treat him as a good brother on the spot, and he gave him the Terence donkey's whips.
"Why are you here?" Lollister asked the pimp with a gloomy face.
Only then did Duke Kempis remember why he'd come. "Of course. I want you to accompany me to see the Snow Salt Merchant Guild of the four alliances in the capital."
