Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

boom--

One side of Big John's face was burnt black, and he flew out of the room, with several of his teeth falling out.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you, this is my room too. You are in luck for trespassing into my private space!"

Chapter 8: Another Transaction between the Lord and the Knight

"Shanoya, are you having a nightmare?"

Chu Yan pressed Big John into the slime monster's body, restricting his movements, and then returned to the bedroom.

The slime monsters in the rich area were suppressed, and Big John would not die for a while, but would continue to suffer corrosive damage.

By the way, Chu Yan also tortured those followers and found out the real reason why this group of people came to find Xia Nuoya.

- Save the expense of hiring adventurers, and Big John needs to establish his authority.

When Shanoya cleared the monster's lair, the credit would definitely go to Big John. For an heir to a noble family, this was an event that established prestige.

Thinking back to the brief words that Xia Nuoya confided to Chu Yan when he first met her, and the emotions he felt from her round and plump buttocks... injustice, anger, unwillingness, helplessness, and self-mockery.

Chu Yan could somewhat recall Xia Nuoya's past in her hometown.

Fortunately, the laws of this world are relatively friendly to those who are not extreme taboo-holders. They are simply exiled to the border instead of being directly eliminated by the force of the Sanctuary of Discipline.

Otherwise, Chu Yan would not have the chance to meet her.

But no matter what, the woman who never used her strength for evil, after doing her best to contribute to the peace of her hometown, received ridiculous betrayal.

After a brief period of clarity, Shanoya has figured out the current situation.

She took the warm water handed to her by Chu Yan, took a sip, and said:

"It's just a nightmare. It's said that Paradise City can suppress the influence of black magic... When I was woken up just now, I thought the nightmare had escaped from my mind."

In her dream, she repeatedly saw the scene of Big John handing over the "ancestral magic" to her. It was an heirloom-level magic, so precious. This should mean that she was accepted as a member of the family, right?

The next scene is Big John reporting to the people in the Sanctuary of Discipline, and his face reveals his true side vividly.

Such terrible dreams accompanied Shanoya every time she slept on the way to the border of the Dead Sea.

Just now, as soon as I opened my eyes, Big John's ugly face appeared in my sight.

Xia Nuoya almost thought that she didn't wake up, or that she got up in the wrong way. Fortunately, Chu Yan punched the guy out of the window.

"Then what are you going to do now?"

Facing Chu Yan's question, Xia Nuoya was about to speak when Chu Yan interrupted her and said hurriedly:

“Let me make it clear first, no matter what your opinion is, as the lord I will not allow you to leave. It will greatly affect my trial results!

Besides, Big John made the deal with Baron Pigeon, and I didn’t get paid.”

What you mean is...if you really get the money, you would probably consider it, right?

Xia Nuoya was feeling lost. Her depressed mind was like a weight weighing down her mouth so much that she couldn't even smile bitterly. But she never revealed her emotions to anyone.

At the moment, she just complained:

"So you just asked me to express my thoughts, but it was just expressing them, not adopting them at all, right?"

Chu Yan sat on the bed, looking at the big hole in the window, and said:

“If you intend to reject those people coming from your hometown and stay in the lord’s castle, then we all agree that it is not impossible to accept you.

But if you are stupid enough to escape from prison, I will have to advise you."

Shanoya blinked, no emotion could be seen on her tired pretty face, she asked:

"How would you advise me?"

“I would advise you to accept your fate!

Coming to the Dead Sea border means that everything in the outside world has nothing to do with you anymore. Your past grievances, resentment, sadness, your past hometown, responsibilities, and nightmares are all separated there.

Here, you just need to focus on making yourself happy.”

The outstanding female knight got up from the bed, took off her pajamas and put on a knight's skirt armor. When she turned her back, her perfect waist and hip curves were exposed. Her slender waist, which could be held in one hand, was connected to her plump and round peach buttocks. This stunning scenery was fleeting and hidden under the skirt armor.

While adjusting the details of her clothes in front of the mirror, Shanuoya said:

"Lord, what you said makes it seem difficult for me to

16

Letting go of the past is like being a poor creature held hostage by the past."

Chu Yan, who was feasting his eyes, was not sure if he had drool at the corners of his mouth, so he wiped it off for the sake of safety, then returned to his serious and upright look and said:

"Then let me put it another way.

Ms. Shanoya, the crimes that outsiders have convicted you of are not worth mentioning in my opinion. Do you mind becoming my companion?

I am afraid that I will fail the trial and be sent to the Holy Temple to be a dragon breeder."

Xia Nuoya didn't expect to hear these words from Chu Yan again after a few days, but her mood was different.

Last time, I could say the rejection without hesitation, but now I hesitated for two seconds before saying it.

"Feel sorry......"

"Ok?"

Chu Yan was stunned. Something was wrong. The atmosphere was so appropriate, why did he still refuse?

Just when he was at a loss for words, Xia Nuoya showed a complicated look of "embarrassment but unwilling to give in" and said:

"You just want to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy the room and the soft bed permanently in the name of your companion, right?

We discussed it last time. I have no problem helping you, but you have to deduct the time we spend sleeping together in advance. Don't try to take advantage of me by eating a free meal or sleeping in a free bed."

Chu Yan smiled helplessly, then said regretfully:

"Oh no, you figured this out, Shanoya. You have to be so vigilant. You'll be left with no friends!"

Outside the window, there was a gradual noise.

Chu Yan and Xia Nuoya went out together to confirm the situation.

Not for a moment grieved at Big John's plight, the one who arrived on the scene was Mr. Pigg, the "Fat Baron."

Although Baron Pigge didn't care about Big John's life or death, Big John's behavior would affect Baron Pigge's prestige, which meant that he would no longer have the sole say on the Dead Sea border.

In the past, a deal that he nodded to would have been the highest legal decree, but now Chu Yan couldn't easily veto it.

"Get Big John out of the ooze!"

He scolded his men and ordered them to do their job. Big John, who was soaked in mud and slime, was now half dead.

When he was rescued, he was still unconscious and holding his mouth for help.

Chu Yan came late at this time and asked:

"Baron Pigge, what's your matter? I don't care what this person's identity is outside, but he just broke into my bedroom and started a fight. You rescued him. Does that mean you condoned the perpetrator?"

In just one or two days, the executioner for the "mid-term inspection" will arrive, and Baron Pigge dare not cause too much conflict at this time.

Especially when it comes to this kind of crime rhetoric.

The local petty nobles' refusal to cooperate with the new lord was only a minor problem. It could be said that the lord was weak and unable to win the support of the people.

But if the executioner knew that someone had assassinated the Dragonborn Lord, and the evidence was solid, then it would be a big problem.

He smiled hypocritically and quickly composed his words:

"Big John said that the Loweland family's territory was harassed by monsters, and the people were living in poverty. They didn't have the connections to hire strong adventurers, so they paid me bail and took Shanoya away temporarily, and will send her back when the matter is completed.

I couldn't bear to see people from far away suffer, so I forgave him. I didn't expect Big John to act so recklessly! "

Baron Pi Ge asked someone to take out several boxes of treasures that had just been acquired and put them in front of Chu Yan, indicating that he would be in charge of the matter.

At the same time, he asked someone to call over a civilian whom Big John had left in the inn.

The civilian was from the Loweland territory, and had the face of a pitiful man who had suffered all kinds of hardships in the world.

When he saw Shanuoya, he knelt down and begged and cried:

"Ms. Shanoya, go back and clean up the monster's lair for Loweland. The crops are not harvested, and the taxes imposed by the earl are too heavy. We can't make ends meet!"

This whole thing?

You are trying to blackmail me morally now and want to borrow Xia Nuoya's force for nothing. I haven't even borrowed enough force. What does it have to do with you?

You people found out that the cost of hiring adventurers has to be included in taxes, so you come here to act pitiful and suffer. If you had been willing to say a few truthful words for Shanoya in front of the Sanctuary of Discipline instead of rushing to take sides, maybe you would have shown some sympathy.

Among the common people and the Loweland family, there might be some who did not say anything bad about Shanoya, but chose to sit back and watch, and protect themselves.

But what does that have to do with Shanoya now?

"Go back and let your earl's heir handle all this."

Shanoya spoke to the civilian with a calm and indifferent attitude, having somewhat let go of the past outside the Dead Sea.

"But, Miss Xia Nuoya, the taxes levied on us are too heavy. We don't even have enough food left for the winter. We can't survive!"

The civilian continued to cry and knelt towards the female knight, hoping to beg for mercy.

Xia Nuoya wanted to say something, but Chu Yan stopped her and said with his eyes: I will handle this matter.

Then he took a few steps back, gave himself a running start, and suddenly started running and kicked Big John.

Big John had just recovered a little, but immediately flew out like a dead dog.

This kick looks heavy, but it is actually not light.

After kicking Big John, Chu Yan started the run-up warm-up again, aiming at the "poor man" who was responsible for the sad scene.

He sneered:

"If you can't survive, then go die. At that time, I chose to protect myself and stand aside. Now

17

Keep holding on, why do you feel pain when you see more taxes?

Come on, let's see who is faster in running out of Paradise City or in kicking you away!"

Under Chu Yan's intimidation, the civilian and the follower from Loweland hurriedly dragged Big John's body and fled, plowing a long trail on the ground.

Baron Pige was about to leave when Chu Yan stopped him again and asked in a friendly manner:

"Baron Pigge, did you miss three boxes of gold coins? When Big John broke into my bedroom just now, he said he gave five boxes of treasure to redeem Shanoya."

Faced with this blatant extortion, Baron Pi Ge had no choice but to swallow his anger temporarily. After ordering someone to send the money over, he left in pain.

Looking at the five big treasure chests, Chu Yan felt extremely happy. He felt that this was the smoothest time his life had been since he was coerced by Aunt Isa's unspoken rules!

Janet, wearing a belly-baring leather jacket, appeared. When she saw Chu Yan's success in extorting money, she said in surprise and amusement:

"My little lord, I thought you were a docile little sheep at first. How come you have adapted to this place so quickly?"

Chu Yan looked very innocent, and spread his hands and said:

"I think I just follow the local customs, respect the local folk culture, work from a practical perspective, come from the masses, go to the masses, and become one with the nobles."

Get along (in a physical sense)

......

night.

Chu Yan and Xia Nuoya continued to sleep in the same quilt. The big hole in the window had not been patched up in time. The cold sea breeze was blowing in the middle of the night, and Chu Yan was shivering with cold. The quilt seemed so thin at this moment.

Although magic can maintain his body temperature, it cannot allow him to sleep comfortably.

Especially at the Dead Sea border, which is adjacent to the ocean, the sea breeze is incredibly strong!

In this cold wind, the female bed partner next to him was like a stove, emitting bursts of warmth from time to time, tempting Chu Yan to come over.

"Xianuoya, you've been up all day and you can't fall asleep anyway, why don't you go fix the window?"

This female knight's housekeeping skills are quite high. After all, she has had no one to serve her for many years and has to take care of herself.

Shanoya was ruthless:
