She decided to jump right off here and avoid the two of them for now!

……

Outside.

There was no sound from inside. The Demon King and Ryoko exchanged a glance.

The Ghost King shrugged: "See! I knew it. It must have been you, you stupid fox, who went too far and scared her away."

Ryoko looked at her coldly: "Are you serious? Who almost ate someone yesterday?"

Miss Ghost King, who had been hit squarely, snorted and showed a slightly guilty expression.

"That's all your fault!"

"It's too late to say anything now."

Ryoko took a step back and began rummaging through her wardrobe to see if there were any clothes suitable for her to wear today.

The Ghost King looked at her outdated JK (high school girl) styles and shook his head speechlessly.

Wearing these things is a complete waste of such a great figure.

However, as a rival in love, she would never give advice on how to dress.

Ryoko changed her clothes and tied her hair up.

Her hairstyle was also very old-fashioned, resembling that of a witch, and she even had a red string tied to the end of her hair.

"JK (high school girl) with a shrine maiden hairstyle, seriously?" Miss Oni couldn't help but make a comment.

Ryoko glanced at her indifferently, said nothing, and turned to leave.

By this time, Su Yu had already slipped away quite a distance.

She casually bought an ordinary dress from a clothing store she passed by and changed her bath towel.

My stomach was rumbling, protesting my hunger.

Su Yu had no choice but to find a place to buy some food and, while she was at it, check out today's role-playing assignment.

Today's card depicts a masked robber.

It's worth mentioning that this chance to draw a random buff can be accumulated; it doesn't have to be used up when completing a role-playing task.

However, the item description also states that only one buff effect can be active at a time, so you should abandon the idea of ​​frantically stacking buffs to take advantage of the system.

Su Yu naturally chose to save this opportunity that might save her life for the most critical moment.

Let's get back to today's role-playing task.

The prop description has now been changed to: "Today is the perfect day to play the role of a thief/robber. If you can steal one or two chests of gold and silver jewelry, you will become famous."

This role-playing task made Su Yu a little excited.

To earn enough ghost money to meet the task targets, one must resort to robbery and plunder.

However, deciding who to target requires careful consideration.

"Let's accept the mission first."

After accepting the task, Su Yu's attire remained unchanged, except that she now had a mask on hand.

"Bandit's Mask: Wearing this mask allows you to change your appearance and achieve a perfect disguise. (Once worn, the mask will not reveal your true appearance.)"

Upon seeing this explanation, Su Yu became excited.

Wouldn't that mean today's task would be wasted?

Even if she only disguises herself as the Marquis de la Marquis from yesterday, she can still make a fortune!

It seems we can finish the main storyline today.

Coincidentally, while Su Yu was waiting for breakfast to be prepared, she saw the Marquis de' Marquis again.

Even more coincidentally, this woman was now walking alone, barefoot and drunk, carrying a bottle of liquor in one hand and a pair of high heels in the other...

128. How can one easily and happily rob the Marquis's mansion of its property?

"what!"

"Those bastards, those stinking men!"

"I'm so beautiful, is there really no one who can appreciate my beauty?!"

At this moment, the Marquise was completely devoid of grace.

Or perhaps, this is how she truly is; she's just too lazy to pretend anymore.

Two men who looked like bodyguards were following her at a short distance behind her.

The Marquis is not here now, so he will never see his dignified and beautiful wife in such a shameful state.

but……

The problem is not big.

Later, the Marquis will return by boat.

Moreover, according to the gossip among the maids watering the flowers in the garden, the Marquis will divorce his current wife upon his return.

There's a well-known secret in the Hanging Harbor: the Marquis has a childhood sweetheart, and they have a tragic love story filled with both love and hate.

After their final argument, the Marquis married his current wife, the Marquis, unilaterally ending his torturous relationship with his childhood sweetheart.

However, it is clear from the Marquis's state that no matter what she does, she cannot make her husband fall in love with her. As a substitute, her only purpose is to prove that the Marquis is married.

This is also why she messes around outside.

It's nothing more than venting one's dissatisfaction with an empty and extravagant life.

At that moment, she looked up and saw Su Yu.

In Su Yu's hand, she held a cup of hot soy milk and some steamed buns she had just bought.

To be able to buy this kind of Eastern-style breakfast in a place like a suspended harbor, which is full of Western influences, is obviously a great deal of money.

A regular breakfast costs only a few hundred ghost coins, but this one costs five thousand ghost coins.

"What is this?"

The Marquise looked at the thing in her hand in a daze.

"This is a mysterious breakfast from the East," Su Yu said, using the tone of an NPC in a game. "Would you like to try some?"

The Marquis narrowed her eyes and snorted.

But she still reached out and took it.

After all, she had been amazed by Su Yu's various deductions yesterday and sincerely believed that Su Yu was a detective girl with real skills, and it was only a matter of time before she became famous in this suspended port.

"You didn't deliberately ambush me on my usual route and buy me breakfast to curry favor, did you?"

"Of course not, how could you be so vain?"

Hearing such impolite words from Su Yu, the Marquis rolled her eyes.

"So, you just came to laugh at me on purpose! Heh, you think it's funny that I'm about to be kicked out by that damned marquis, making room for him and his childhood sweetheart? My life is as funny as I am, isn't it!"

The Marquise was clearly not as idiotic as she appeared.

She was very clear about her situation and how others viewed her.

This made Su Yu feel that the conversation that followed would be much easier.

"Then, I'd like to ask you this: do you still love the Marquis?"

"How could I possibly still love him!"

The Marquis picked up the soy milk and gulped down a large mouthful.

If the soy milk hadn't cooled down considerably, she would have definitely spit it out in an embarrassing way after that sip.

"If I hadn't been neglected since childhood, and had two wicked older sisters and a stepmother, why would I have agreed to this marriage?"

"It sounds like something out of a Cinderella story..."

"What Cinderella?"

"It's nothing, please continue, I'll see if I can help you."

Su Yu wiped away a cold sweat.

Continue listening to her complaints.

The Marchioness, chin in hand, sighed deeply. "In short, my only goal now is to get a sum of money from the Marquis's mansion and then run away! I've heard the Eastern world is very interesting, and I want to go there to relax. In fact, I've already gotten a one-way ticket for the Ghost Train from the auction..."

Hearing this, Su Yu smiled and said, "Then, if I can help you fulfill this wish, how will you repay me?"

The Marquis rolled her eyes: "Look at me, what do I have besides my beauty?"

While the two women were talking, the two bodyguards not far away were still keeping an eye on them.

However, given the considerable distance and the headwind, it was impossible for them to overhear any secrets.

"Your beauty, if I may be so bold, is worthless to me."

Before the other person could get angry, Su Yu added:

"However, I have a lot of ideas about the Marquis's wealth."

Upon hearing this, the Marquis frowned.

What does it mean?

Could it be that this exceptionally intelligent young detective intends to ransack the Marquis's mansion?

Although she had already made up her mind to leave the Marquis, she never thought she would go to such extremes.

"Didn't you want to get revenge on the Marquis and his childhood sweetheart who's always haunting you?"

"Wouldn't it be better to make them completely penniless and live a life worse than a beggar in the Skyport?"

"Or do you actually still like the Marquis?"

Seeing the Marquis's troubled expression, Su Yu understood.
