The Hun Ghosts are a type of demon race residing in the "War King's Domain." They are also a vampire race, but they cannot summon familiars and belong to a lower-class vampire race.

As for Nilepusi, it was the name of the autonomous territory of those Huns.

"Ugh..." Aurora was a little scared of the two haunted ghosts and hid behind Shichen in fear.

Xiao Wu remained calm and motionless, still licking her ice cream.

"As expected of the Void Witch's brother, he's truly knowledgeable." The man with the upturned mustache clapped his hands in praise.

"Enough with the nonsense, why did you come back to the Demon Special Zone in the Far East?" Shi Chen asked coldly.

"Hehe, it seems you're quite curious. As the younger brother of the Void Witch, of course I'm happy to tell you."

The man with the upturned mustache said smugly, "Actually, it's nothing. I just heard a boring rumor—the daughter of a foolish nobleman who died a gruesome death on the battlefield, losing not only his king but also his territory, is still trying to awaken a new Flamelight Lord so she can attend the [Feast of Flamelight]... Oh dear, it's just too ridiculous and laughable."

The man with the upturned mustache could only be referring to Vertiana.

"I don't understand what you're saying," Shi Chen replied expressionlessly.

"The younger brother of the Void Witch, you don't need to pretend anymore. Aren't the two people beside you the best proof? She actually awakened, that's incredible... But I didn't expect there to be two of them."

The man with the upturned mustache looked at Ogura and Xiaowu with obvious delight, as if they were the most precious treasures in the world.

"Tell me your purpose for coming." Shi Chen shielded the two behind him.

"Hehe~ I forgot to introduce myself. I am Baltasaru Zaharias, the speaker of the interim autonomous government of Nilepusi, but I am also a businessman." Zaharias bowed and introduced himself.

"A merchant? An arms dealer?" Shi Chen asked.

"As expected of the Void Witch's brother, nothing can be hidden from you." Zaharias smiled nonchalantly.

"Enough with the nonsense."

"No problem, but before that, please let me introduce someone."

"Who?"

"come on."

As Zaharias finished speaking, a figure of flames descended from the sky and landed beside him, standing silently.

Appearing beside him was a young girl who looked exactly like Ogura!

She had wavy blonde hair, fair skin, and wore a protective suit made of reinforced fibers that fit her perfectly, showcasing her slender figure.

Aurora and Xiaowu looked her over without showing any surprise; instead, they were curious about her clothes.

Zaharias said with a smile, "Let me introduce Enatos, the Ninth. She was the original body imprisoned in the territory of Earl Caryana in the [War King's Domain]. Now she has been freed by our Nilepusi. She is Enatos, the Ninth Flamelight Night Count!"

"Number Nine?" Shi Chen looked at Number Nine. She and Aurora did look exactly alike, except for their expressions.

One was a little girl, her youthful face revealing a calm demeanor.

"You're the younger brother of the Void Witch, you should know about [Flamelight Night Elder's] plan, right?"

“I have a name, you can call me Shichen.”

"Is that so? Then it's Mr. Shichen."

"He's quite polite... Alright, you don't need to say anything more, I know [Flamelight Night Elder]'s plan."

“That makes things easier. Since Mr. Shichen knows that I am an arms dealer, and my profession is trading, mainly dealing in weapons... Although some people often criticize me as a death merchant, I am confident that no one can surpass me when it comes to handling weapons.”

"...That sounds quite noble."

“I’m just telling the truth… So, Mr. Shichen, would you be willing to sell me the two Flamelight Nightbodies you own?” Zaharias asked politely.

"Sell it to you? Can you afford it?"

"Don't worry about that, I can afford any price, as long as you dare to sell it."

"I see." Shi Chen nodded.

"Hey—Shichen, you're not planning to sell us out, are you?" Aurora couldn't help but ask.

"Do you want to be sold?"

Chapter 403 Aurora's Night Raid

"Um...no, I don't want to!" Augurola immediately shook her head.

"Really? What about you, Xiao Wu?" Shi Chen asked Xiao Wu with a smile.

"I'll listen to Shichen," Xiaowu replied calmly.

"Good girl~" Shi Chen rubbed her head.

"Xiao Wu?" Zaharias looked at Xiao Wu with a puzzled expression.

"Oh, the name I gave her, isn't it pretty good?"

"Naming? How interesting. No wonder you're called the Time Master. And that one?"

"Her name is Ogurola."

“Sleeping Beauty…that’s quite fitting.” Zaharias nodded.

"I think so."

"So, you really don't want to transfer these two bodies to me?" Zaharias asked again.

His gaze was fixed on Ogura and Xiaowu, his eyes filled with greed.

Ogurora shrank back in fear, hiding completely behind Shichen, clutching his clothes and clinging tightly to him.

Unfortunately, I didn't feel anything.

"You want me to betray Aurora, right? Do you think I would?" Shichen retorted.

"Don't be so quick to refuse. The price is negotiable. Let me think about it. How about 20 billion yuan?"

"Two, two hundred billion?!" Ogurola exclaimed in surprise.

She now has a concept of money; she doesn't even dare to imagine how much ice cream she could buy with 20 billion.

"Isn't that enough?"

Zaharias noticed Shi Chen's calm expression and smiled: "Then let's keep adding, double, no, triple is fine too! After all, these two items are the most powerful weapons in the world, they're totally worth it... Although I don't care about the amount of money, my assets are still limited, so please forgive me for any shortfall."

"Goods, huh~" Shi Chen shook his head with a smile.

"You may have misunderstood something."

"what?"

“Those two are not commodities, much less weapons, and I can’t bear to let them leave me.”

"Reluctant to part with it...?" Zaharias looked at Shichen strangely.

"You wouldn't be?"

"What?" Shi Chen pretended to be dumbfounded.

"never mind."

Zaharias shook his head, then his gaze sharpened as he looked at the time. The Huns on either side of him seemed to respond, slightly lowering their center of gravity and preparing to act at any moment.

"Are you sure you want to attack me?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.

“I really don’t dare,” Zaharias sighed.

"In that case, the negotiations have broken down, but I will not give up."

"Then let's show you our true strength."

“I understand... Let’s go.” Zaharias turned and left without any hesitation.

Two Huns followed him away.

The ninth entity, however, remained motionless, its eyes fixed on the time without blinking.

Shi Chen smiled and replied, then said, "Number Nine... that name doesn't suit you. How about I call you Xiao Jiu?"

Number Nine remained silent.

Shi Chen didn't mind and continued, "Xiao Jiu, wait for me. Soon you will be reunited with Aurora and the others."

“Mr. Time, the way they meet might not be what you think,” Zaharias said, turning around.

"Then who knows."

"Hmph! Number Nine, keep up."

Number Nine then withdrew his gaze and followed Zaharias away.

The figures of the group quickly disappeared from sight.

“They’ve left,” Ogurora couldn’t help but say.

"What? You can't bear to part with it?" He glanced at her sideways.

"Two hundred billion...!"

"So it was about money... The ice cream is melting."

"Ah! Slurp!" Ogulora snapped out of her daze and quickly licked the melted ice cream.

Her pink tongue licked the ice cream, quickly turning it a creamy color. She busily licked it all around, including the drops that landed on her hands.

"So much of it melted...and the rest melted too!"

“Your mouth is all…” Shi Chen looked at him with a strange expression.

Ogurora's current state reminded him of Darkness kneeling before him.

It's a little hot.

"Xiao Wu, give me yours." Shi Chen snatched the half-eaten ice cream from Xiao Wu's hand.

"Oh."

Xiao Wu didn't care about being robbed; she still had one, even though it had been used up quite a bit.

Her gaze, however, was fixed on Shi Chen's face as she watched him unhesitatingly devour the ice cream he had licked.

A subtle feeling arose in her heart, a mixture of impulsiveness and restlessness.
