Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1072: No sparks?

The two sisters' presence here was originally a transaction between the Wood Elf and Wu Heng.

At that time, they really seemed to have been "sold" to the human island owner by their tribe.

But after signing the slave contract, their status was not as low as imagined, and Wu Heng was indeed good to them.

During this period, not only has it been upgraded to level 19, but now they have also prepared rare items suitable for the two sisters.

He truly treated them as his own, and even said that he treated them no worse than the wood elves.

Wu Heng smiled and said, "It's just right for you. Reaching level 20 sooner is the best way to express my gratitude."

Eluria knelt on one knee, her right hand pressed against her left chest in a gesture of loyalty. "Thank you for your support, sir. We will work even harder."

"Well, don't get too tired." Wu Heng said.

"Yes!" Eluria answered, and when she looked up again, Wu Heng had already walked up the stairs.

Outside the window, silvery moonlight shines in, casting a silver glow on the coffee table.

Eluriah first put away her sister's blood sacrifice knife, then carefully picked up [The End of the World is Just a Step Away], and the bronze bell rang softly as she stood up.

Eluria took a step forward as if possessed by some mysterious force.

The space distorted for a moment before my eyes.

When she came to her senses, the tip of her boot was already touching the edge of the first step of the stairs.

The distance that was originally seven or eight steps was actually covered in one step.

"This..." Eluria turned around suddenly and saw her unfinished tea on the coffee table, proving that what had just happened was not an illusion.

The effect is so good?
If used well, the advantage in battle is simply immeasurable!
Eluria felt excited, gripped the ruler tightly, turned and walked towards the training room, wanting to familiarize herself with this strange object in advance.

……

The mist in the bathroom had not yet dissipated. When Wu Heng pushed open the bedroom door, Shannara was leaning against the headboard, flipping through a book about painting.

"I thought you wouldn't stay at home on your first night back!" Shannara said without even raising her head, but there was a hint of jealousy in her tone.

Wu Heng lifted the silk quilt and lay down, "Are you jealous?"

"Who cares? If I were jealous, I'd have died a long time ago." Shannara snorted softly, closing the book and leaning into his arms. "When the Wood Elf Elders see the Association's announcement, you won't know how happy you are, just like those gamblers in the gambling house who won a small comeback."

"I'm glad I didn't disappoint you." Wu Heng smiled, put his arm around her shoulders and patted her.

At that time, when the Wood Elves placed their race on Wu Heng, it was also a gamble.

But judging from the current situation, the bet was right.

"How could that be!" Shanara's face showed tenderness.

Wu Heng kissed her forehead gently and continued, "Things will get better and better in the future. You should also train hard and become a hero sooner."

"I know! I'm working hard too." Shannara said, turning over and facing away from him, "Go to sleep and get up early tomorrow."

Wu Heng was stunned, not knowing why he suddenly became unhappy.

After thinking for a moment, he placed his palm on her waist, feeling the warmth of her skin through her silk nightgown. "What's wrong? Are you angry?"

"No, I just wanted to rest early. What else do you want to do?" Shannara tilted her head slightly.

Wu Heng's fingers moved down along her spine, lifting the hem of her silk nightgown, and her lower abdomen pressed against her waist and hips.

"I just saw that Eluria is still training downstairs." Wu Heng put his hand on the back of her neck and felt the body in his arms tremble slightly. "She's quite serious."

"She's been like this since she was a child..." Shannara's words became heavier as her breathing became heavier, and her hips tilted back slightly. "Physical training is her hobby."

"That's what I said!" Wu Heng gently lifted her slender legs and placed them on his legs.

Shannella slapped him with her backhand, "If you dare to think about other women at this time, I will beat you to death!"

"How is that possible!" Wu Heng said unhappily.

Shannara snorted softly and stopped talking.

Moonlight streamed through the window screen, casting their intertwined shadows.

……

The next day.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the array pattern in the center of the training ground in the west of the city was refracting light in the morning light.

The skeleton servants lined up in a long queue and stacked the materials prepared in advance into the positions in the formation as required.

"We've wasted so much time. Don't interrupt unless there's something special going on." The Empress leaned back on a chair, her puppet's slender fingers tapping the armrest. "Success in the third stage will be a significant improvement in your physical strength."

Wu Heng looked at the center of the formation, where there were still charred marks from the last practice.

He doesn't reject cultivation.

But this process is indeed not pleasant.

When the skeleton servants were ready, Wu Heng walked towards the formation pattern, but after taking a few steps he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong again?" The queen frowned.

Wu Heng flipped his palm, and the rare item [Truth Carving Knife] appeared in his hand. "Tell me, is it possible to rewrite the rules of cultivation?"

The Empress's puppet suddenly leaned forward, and a gleam of light flashed in Liuli's eyes. "Try it, but remember not to exceed three times."

Wu Heng nodded and thought to himself, "accelerate the efficiency of body tempering." Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst out from the tip of the knife, drawing dense runes in the air.

"What has changed?" asked the Queen.

"Practice efficiency." Wu Heng replied and walked straight into the formation.

Sitting cross-legged in the middle, the empress leaned back in her chair again and said to the person beside her, "Activate the formation."

Huh~!

Flames rose into the sky, dark clouds covered the sky above, and thunder rolled down.

In the center of the formation, flames transformed into red sharp blades and rushed into Wu Heng's body frantically, and the thunder above his head also struck down intensively.

Compared with the previous energy absorption, this time it poured in like a flood.

boom-!
The energy vortex shot up into the sky and rushed into the center like a tornado.

The violent force overturned the nearby skeletons. The queen covered her forehead with one hand, her robes rustling, and looked at the scene in surprise, which was devouring energy like a bottomless pit.

"This..." The queen narrowed her eyes slightly, "At least I won't die."

……

On the other side, in Shannara's mansion.

Today, Shannara, dressed in an elegant long dress, sat at the head of the conference table. Below her were well-dressed Chamber of Commerce representatives, who were whispering about the air conditioning, chandeliers, and music playing on the speakers.

When most of the people had arrived, Shannara said with a smile, "I've called you all together today to make an announcement. Treasure Island will soon be reopening its merchandise exhibition."

As soon as the words fell, a low exclamation was heard in the conference hall.

The last exhibition was unprecedented.

It not only attracted a large number of visitors, but also increased the sales of the exhibitors several times, and its reputation also soared.

Now that it is going to be held again, which chamber of commerce would not be excited?
"Our Chamber of Commerce fully supports it!"

"Mrs. Shannella, please do consider our new merchandise!"

"We performed very well at the last exhibition, and we are even more confident this time...!"

The representatives rushed to recommend themselves, and the scene was noisy for a while.

Shannara raised her hand slightly and everyone gradually quieted down.

He glanced around and said calmly, "The selection criteria will be stricter this time. Interested chambers of commerce must submit a list of exhibits and detailed descriptions to the City Hall within three days. We will comprehensively consider the quality of the products and the reputation of the chamber of commerce and select the best ones."

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, he added, "In addition, to avoid the situation of withdrawing from the exhibition midway and wasting resources like last time, the selected chambers of commerce must pay 200 gold coins as a deposit, which will of course be returned to you after the exhibition is completed."

200 gold coins is not a small number, but for Treasure Island today, it is just a threshold to screen sincerity.

A plump Chamber of Commerce representative asked cautiously, "Mrs. Shannella, with all due respect, I wonder if there will be any... new merchandise on display at Treasure Island this time?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was focused on him.

The most eye-catching thing at the last exhibition was the unprecedented products launched by Treasure Island, including watches, pills, and pens, all of which caused a sensation.

If there are new products this time, they will surely continue the popularity of the last time.

Sanera smiled slightly, a meaningful glint in her eyes. "Treasure Island never disappoints." Her casual remark warmed the hearts of everyone present.

The meeting ended amid everyone's anticipation, and the representatives hurried away to prepare for their own endeavors.

Shannara also went out, got on a carriage, and headed to the Snake Emblem Group to continue discussing the auction.

……

port.

The sea breeze was blowing gently, and Xilagui and Shi Yali stood at the dock, staring at the ship slowly approaching the shore in front of them.

Soon, several elves walked down from the deck and looked around.

Smiles immediately spread across the sisters' faces. Xilagui stood on tiptoe, waved, and shouted, "Mom! This way!"

The elf woman in the distance heard the call, her eyes lit up, and she immediately walked over quickly with the two people beside her.

After approaching, he looked his daughters up and down, his tone filled with a hint of resentment, "You are wrapped up so tightly and standing so far away, are you afraid that I will recognize you?"

Xilagui took her mother's arm and explained with a smile, "I'm the island's butler. If I show up in a big way, people will think I'm on a mission, which will easily cause unnecessary commotion."

"Yes, we do this every time we go out now." Shi Yali added with a playful look in her eyes.

"Sheila's status is different now, so she really needs to be careful about the impact." A kind-faced woman behind her said gently.

Next to the woman stood a tall, blond, blue-eyed male elf.

The sisters turned and greeted in unison, "Uncle Adriel! Aunt Lilanis!"

This couple are elves and close friends of Sheila's parents.

The elf man smiled and said, "We were just about to go out, and we heard your mother was coming over here, so we followed her to see her."

Xi Lagui smiled and said, "Welcome! Treasure Island has developed very well in the past two years. I will take Uncle and Auntie to visit the island and spend a few more days there."

"Well, that's troublesome." The man still smiled.

Shi Yali pointed to the side of the road and said, "The carriage is ready. Let's go home first and talk later."

Suddenly, there were a few more people and the carriage seemed a little crowded.

Fortunately, the elves were all relatively slender. The mother and daughter sat on one side, and the couple opposite sat on the other.

Shi Yali asked, "Didn't father come with you?"

"He's busy, so I just came to see you." Mother said with a smile, and then said impatiently, "You mentioned in your letter that you both have boyfriends. Invite them to dinner tonight!"

Xilagui's ears blushed slightly, and she said helplessly, "Mom, you're too impatient. You should at least ask the other person's opinion first, right?"

The mother waved her hand: "Then ask, and try to get him to come."

My aunt took over the conversation and said earnestly, "It's good to meet him. You are young, and you should always let your family vet the friends you make outside to see if they are suitable."

As the wheels rolled over the cobblestone road, the two sisters smiled at each other, with sweetness and a hint of nervousness in their eyes.

The woman from the couple across from her took over the conversation and said earnestly, "It's good to meet. You're young, and you should always let your family vet the friends you make outside to see if they're suitable."

The two sisters looked at each other, and Xi Lagui nodded and said, "Let's go back to the residence first. We'll ask them if they have time and try to get them to come over."

"Yeah." Mother responded with satisfaction.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and Shi Yali acted like a guide, introducing some places and buildings along the way.

They didn't stop until they reached the deacon's residence.

Walking into the house, the cool air conditioning and exquisite decoration immediately attracted the elf woman's admiration, "Treasure Island is indeed well-deserved of its reputation. Even the accommodation is so comfortable."

"I heard that this place is most spectacular at night. Treasure Island is known as the pearl of the Emerald Sea and it won't go out all night long." The male elf continued.

"When the time comes, I'll take a look!" said the woman, continuing to look around the living room casually.

Bedroom location.

The mother inspected every room like a detective.

She walked into the bathroom and stared at the three towels on the shelf, frowning slightly. "How many people live here? Why three towels?"

"Oh! That one is for wiping feet." Shi Yali reacted quickly.

"Put the ones for wiping feet and faces together?" said the mother.

"Maybe I left in a hurry and just threw it there." Shi Yali explained immediately.

Xi Lagui held her forehead helplessly, "Mom, can you please stop acting like you're investigating a case?"

The mother glanced at the two sisters suspiciously and said, "I always feel like there's something wrong with you."

"You're right! Go back and chat with Uncle Adriel and the others. It's not good to leave them there." Xilagui said immediately.

The mother snorted and returned to the living room to chat with the elf couple.

The woman took a sip of tea and asked casually, "I heard that the island master of Wuheng has become very famous recently. Xilagui, you should be familiar with him, right?"

Before Xilagui could speak, her mother quickly answered, "Of course I am familiar with him! They used to be deputy deacons of Treasure Island, but Wu Heng is so talented that he has become a hero admired by everyone."

"Oh? Since we are old acquaintances, didn't there seem to be any sparks between you back then?" The male elf looked at Sheila Rose with a smile.

Xilagui's eyes widened instantly.

The woman coughed lightly and lowered her voice, "Humans and elves are ultimately vastly different. Besides... I heard the island owner prefers orcs, especially those with thick hair."

"Puff!" Shi Yali almost spit out a mouthful of water, and Xi Lagui's face also turned red.

The mother glared at the two of them and asked, "Did you ask?"

"What are you asking?" Xi Lagui was stunned.

"Is your boyfriend coming over tonight?"

"I asked! I'm waiting for a reply!" Xilagui said hurriedly.

"You haven't even left the house, what are you asking?" The mother narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"Treasure Island has a communication tool, so don't worry about it!" Xi Lagui said firmly.

Seeing that she couldn't get any more questions, the mother gave up and continued chatting with the elf couple.

The two sisters hurriedly left the mansion on the pretext of association matters.

After the footsteps faded away, the woman sighed, "I think the youngest son of the Moonlight Vine Trading Association is pretty good. If the one you met tonight is not to your liking, you might as well persuade the child."

My mother stroked her teacup and hesitated, "They always have their own opinions. The person they choose should be good..."

"We can't be careless about this." The woman leaned closer. "Race and personality are secondary. The key is that Xilagui now holds an important position. How many people are eyeing her position? If we entrust her to the wrong person, won't her future be jeopardized?"

The mother was silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "...We'll see tonight."

……

West of the city, training ground.

The flames died down and the clouds dissipated.

Wu Heng was steaming with heat as he staggered out of the formation.

The empress leaned lazily in the seat, her skirt hanging down like flowing water, and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"

Wu Heng wiped the sweat from his face and forced a smile that was uglier than crying. "I almost burst from the energy..."

"You won't die anyway." The queen waved her hand nonchalantly, and the skeletons immediately began to clear the area.

He tapped the armrest with his fingertips and added, "Try to add another rule tomorrow to reduce the pain of training by half?"

"Why didn't you mention it just now?" Wu Heng rubbed his shoulders with a grin.

"Hasn't it occurred to you yourself?" the Queen retorted.

"Let's go back first." Wu Heng didn't say much and took her back using teleportation.

A flash of light passed by, and two figures appeared in the courtyard of the island owner's mansion.

As soon as he found his footing, Minnie came out from the corridor, "Master! Deacon Xilagui called and said her mother has arrived on the island. She asked if you have time to have dinner together tonight."

"Ah?" Wu Heng was stunned.

The queen suddenly smiled. "Oh, are you going to meet the parents? When they hear that you 'kidnapped' their two daughters, they will probably stew you into soup!"
