I'll even show you crossdressing men.

Next came the negotiation, and Ji Xiuyu appeared quite clumsy in dealing with it, just like her previous demeanor.

Although in front of outsiders, the girl in the red dress and red high heels is a queen, at this moment when she reverts to her true nature, she makes people feel sorry for her.

"I should go help her." Wang Quan Tianxia stood not far away watching, and after hesitating for a long time, he decided to take the blame for her while also hoping that fate would help her out of the predicament.

"Please let me handle this matter." As he walked to "her" side, Wang Quan Tianxia failed to notice the extremely sharp killing intent in Bai Yu's eyes the moment she saw him.

Compared to Bai Yu, Zi Qing and Tina were very restrained, showing nothing. But those who don't reveal their emotions are often the most terrifying.

Because no one can know what will happen once they erupt.

"Excuse me, are you Wang Quan Tianxia, ​​the nominal fiancé of Miss Ji Xiuyu?" The Wang Quan family may be very powerful in this country, but a force like Nalanar doesn't need to care about them at all, so Riko only maintained a superficial politeness when she spoke.

“I am her fiancé, not just a nominal fiancé. We will get married and raise our own children.” Wang Quan Tianxia was clearly angered by Riko’s words “nominal fiancé.” He gripped her hand tightly and answered her through gritted teeth.

"Oh, it seems I misspoke. It's alright, you're not good enough for her anyway." Riko said politely, but it was something that even a man couldn't stand. Wang Quan Tianxia came to Ji Xiuyu's rescue, but ended up getting himself into trouble. It was truly ironic.

"You!" Anger welled up in his heart, and evil thoughts arose from his heart. Just as Wang Quantianxia was about to explode, a small hand reached out from behind and squeezed his large hand. The girl's gentle words made his anger disappear instantly: "Be good, don't make trouble, it's okay."

Ji Xiuyu's voice at this moment seemed to have a calming effect. Just a few words were enough to stop him from getting angry. He could only tremble slightly and move aside a little so that she could step forward.

But he didn't let go. He didn't know why... He felt that if he let go now, Ji Xiuyu would really leave him forever.

He frowned slightly, wanting to forcefully shake off the hand, but after looking at his expression, he gently shook his head and didn't do so.

She had only tried to calm him down to avoid any problems, but she hadn't expected him to do this. Completely different from what had happened before, Ji Xiuyu was caught off guard, and her momentary hesitation was seized upon.

"It seems you two have a good relationship." Riko herself didn't realize that there was a hint of jealousy in her voice. Fortunately, Shiki pulled her from behind and brought her back to her senses.

Wang Quan Tianxia was lost in his own thoughts and didn't notice Riko's change; otherwise, things probably wouldn't have been so simple.

"You're joking. Tianxia has his own sweetheart. He's the victim in my engagement with him. I'll find a way to get in touch with him in the future, which will be better for both of us." The more Ji Xiuyu spoke, the more strange Bai Yu's expression became, and Wang Quan Tianxia's heart sank upon hearing Ji Xiuyu's words.

Is what she said true? The most important person in her heart is indeed Qingli, but haven't her actions lately been hard to understand?

Humans aren't plants or trees; how can they be without feelings? Such an outstanding young woman is making sacrifices "for herself," and anyone with a heart of stone would melt at her tenderness. Besides, he's just a sentimental person, someone who can't help but notice when others make sacrifices for him.

But what reason did he have to let her stay? Perhaps he had one before, but now, their roles were completely reversed.

Just as she was agonizing over this, Ji Xiuyu suddenly pulled her hand away, and then a violent tremor followed...

PS: Third update...

Chapter 181: Naranaur's Magic is the Best in the World!

"It seems something unpleasant has happened." Such a violent tremor could only be caused by an attack from the monsters.

After all, the most powerful people in Wangquan City are concentrated here, so the defensive capabilities of the city walls will definitely be reduced, and it is normal for this situation to occur.

"Damn it, it seems we need to go back to defend. Meeting adjourned!" Wang Quan Zhishang was a decisive person. He had gathered everyone together during the lull after the large-scale attack by the monsters subsided.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish what he wanted to do, the monsters, as if they knew that the defenses of the Royal City were weak, launched another large-scale attack.

Such frequent battles are extremely damaging to the monsters themselves, but this is also the best opportunity to reduce the number of defenders, which will be beneficial for the final battle.

For monsters, life is utterly meaningless; they can have as many as they want, the only difference being their strength. Therefore, in the face of victory, any sacrifice is entirely worthwhile.

After the king declared the meeting adjourned, everyone rushed outside. As they ran, they grumbled to themselves, thinking, "If he hadn't insisted on doing this for his own selfish desires, why would we have to do this?"

Despite their dissatisfaction, they remained silent. As long as the king was the supreme ruler of the country, his orders were absolute, and they had no choice but to obey.

"This is really troublesome." Ji Xiuyu didn't move forward quickly. After taking the opportunity to shake off Wang Quantian's groping hands, he stayed with Bai Yu and the others, following the rear of the troops at a leisurely pace.

Everyone else wished they had two extra legs, because the girls were so slow, which was naturally attractive.

However, no one said anything. Ji Xiuyu's identity was already known to everyone in the royal city, and everyone knew that this girl possessed epic-level strength.

With her strength, staying here is the best outcome. She has the privilege of doing whatever she wants, and they have no say in the matter.

He didn't express any dissatisfaction, he could only look at her with reverence.

This world is one where strength reigns supreme. The title of "hero" that comes with breaking through the limits of humanity to the seventh rank shows that this world needs more heroes.

"Is it alright for us to go over so slowly?" Zi Qing gently used her ability to create an invisible energy membrane to envelop the five of them, so that no one else could hear their conversation. After that, they no longer needed to care about their identities.

Therefore, after hearing Riko's words, Hime Hideyu shook her head: "It doesn't matter, this isn't the first or second time this has happened. If wars could be resolved simply by having epic-level powerhouses intervene, then Royal City would have ceased to exist long ago. Powerhouses are not the primary target of war; they are more like 'nuclear weapons,' used to deter and counter other countries' nuclear weapons."

Ji Xiuyu inadvertently blurted out what she had been thinking about, leaving the girls somewhat puzzled: "Nuclear weapons?"

"Oh, it's a very, very powerful weapon. It was created by humans, and its power is like a forbidden spell cast by an epic-level powerhouse. That's roughly what I mean..." After thinking for a moment, Ji Xiuyu decided to use the most accurate term, "forbidden spell," to describe nuclear weapons.

"Just like a pink rose?" Riko's mother, Narana, did this kind of research. She also created a very powerful weapon, but its power was only equivalent to a legendary-level expert's full-force attack, far from being a nuclear weapon.

But you could say that the power of a pink rose is only about one-tenth that of a nuclear weapon. It is very difficult to make, expensive, and not produced in large quantities. It's probably the same as a nuclear weapon, right?

"Well, it doesn't really matter whether I go or not right now. I just need to be there to save the day in a pinch." After all, it seems like my only role is to save the day, isn't it?

After a moment's thought, Ji Xiuyu didn't dwell on the matter and changed the subject: "By the way, Riko, how did you get in?"

He was very curious about what the girls' purpose was in coming in. Given the current situation, it would obviously be better for them to remain invisible outside, right?

"I came here to explore all the routes to the royal city, and I've already done it." Zi Qing first stated her purpose, then took out a small crystal ball that floated in her palm.

With his eyes fixed on the crystal ball, Ji Xiuyu seemed to be looking down on the area from the sky, every part of it crystal clear. "You've become proficient in using your detection abilities?"

The only thing that could enable her to do this was her ability to "detect".

"Well, not long after the young master left, I flipped through a book and suddenly understood." Zi Qing covered her mouth and smiled, seemingly speechless at such an enlightenment.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuyu could only marvel at her good fortune; what else could she say?

"Young Master, I missed you so much that I came here and put this here~" Bai Yu restrained herself from hanging on Ji Xiuyu. After all, to outsiders, they had only just become acquainted, and any intimate behavior would arouse suspicion.

When she said "this," she blinked, but didn't take out anything. However, Ji Xiuyu knew exactly what she was talking about.

Now all we can do is pray for the Wang family, that they don't anger this little miss, otherwise flying to the heavens will be inevitable.

"I came only for the young master." Compared to the other two, the taciturn Tina was very well-behaved and did nothing.

Knowing that she couldn't control anything, Ji Xiuyu let them be, figuring that nothing would go wrong.

"Riko, what about you?" Hime Hideyuki had a general idea of ​​her maid's thoughts and actions. Now, only Riko remained. What was Riko's purpose?

"Me? I'm profiting from the war!" she said bluntly, her purpose being the same as what she had said in the main hall.

"The Wangquan family's money is not easy to earn, you should be careful." It seems that they really are going to make a fortune from the war. Ji Xiuyu didn't say anything. Anyway, the Wangquan family's things are not his own, so he didn't care.

"Of course I know that old scoundrel, King Supremacy, won't be easy to deal with, so I'm prepared. If they dare to mess around, hmph, who knows if the magical weapons won't become the weapons used against them?"

Nalanar is clearly a smart person, and her daughter is no fool either. Her previous sunny and innocent demeanor was likely due to her social status.

If given the right stage, who's to say she won't create miracles?

"That's good." A weapon is ultimately just a weapon; once it can be created, it can be controlled. And as creators, wise people always leave a door in their creations that only they can open.

"We've arrived... It's quite lively." Looking at the city wall ahead, Zi Qing calmly removed the soundproofing membrane she had set up, and then watched the battle with everyone else.

"The more lively it is, the more opportunities we have to make money. Look, although their weapons are very sophisticated, they can only be used at close range, which is completely different from our magical weapons."

"Melee combat not only puts you in danger, but after you die, your corpse will become food for monsters, leaving you with no place to be buried."

Riko was completely oblivious to the psychological impact her words would have on the soldiers. She spoke like an enthusiastic merchant promoting her products, making Hime Hideyu and the others smile wryly.

She couldn't let her expression betray her, so Ji Xiuyu could only listen to her explanation as if she had just realized something, appearing very innocent and easily fooled.

"But with our magic, it's different. Ranged attacks can damage enemies simply by using our own energy. Even when we run out of energy, we can use the energy stored in the magic crystals on our weapons to attack. This way, we won't be in danger, and we can still harm the enemy—a win-win situation, so why not?"

Riko became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, and in the end, seemingly to demonstrate the accuracy of her words, she pulled a gun out of her spatial storage—could this gun be called a cannon? After all, a 40mm caliber is just too outrageous.

"This is the latest weapon from our Nalanar Magic Shop, a cannon specifically designed to fight monsters. It has an energy conversion array engraved inside, which can convert the input energy into an equivalent amount of holy light energy to be fired. And holy light is one of the known energy attributes that deals the most damage to monsters, making it an absolutely deadly weapon."

"If your energy is fire and lightning, then congratulations! The magic circle that automatically identifies the attribute can gather the energy of heaven and earth at the same time, amplifying the damage you deal. It's practically a self-propelled mage cannon!"

"It is priced at only 1000 amethysts, and after a 1000% discount, it is only 800 amethysts."

"And what does 800 amethyst crystals mean? It's roughly the savings of a family for ten years. But for your life, for the victory of the war, isn't it extremely worthwhile to exchange just ten years for your survival?"

"800 amethyst crystals, you won't lose out, you won't be cheated. It might even make someone a hero."

"After you get this weapon, there's only one thing you need to do: watch how I do it..."

Riko's words seemed to be amplified, carrying far and wide, almost reaching the ears of all the soldiers.

"Her strength shouldn't be like this..." Somewhat puzzled, Ji Xiuyu took a closer look and discovered that a device had been placed in front of her small mouth at some point, and it was this device that amplified her voice.

"Well, she's really going all out to promote her product." Rolling her eyes, Ji Xiuyu didn't interrupt her. She stood there watching her like a curious child, wondering what she would say.

"See, that's it..." she said, taking it out and circulating energy throughout her body. Although it was only at the second level of strength, it suddenly condensed after entering the gun.

It was still only at level two strength, but after the energy was transformed into holy light and shot out with overwhelming power, the surrounding soldiers immediately became very interested in the giant spear in her hand.

"That's not all. My strength is too weak, that's why I'm like this. If it were the energy carried by our weapons..."

The girl was aware of their expressions, of course. With a smug smile, she didn't use her own energy this time. Instead, she pulled the trigger, and light flowed from the magic crystal on the wall, condensing into a fifth-tier attack that she then fired.

The light sphere condensed by the 40mm muzzle is 100mm in size, which is vastly different from her own second-tier 20mm.

When this energy struck a seventh-tier demon, it actually pierced a large hole in its body, causing it to howl in pain.

This was something that most soldiers couldn't do before, but her gun did it. This made all the soldiers who saw this look on with envy. If... if they had such a weapon, they would definitely be able to survive.

Wang Quanzhishang also witnessed the power of that weapon and immediately made up his mind to purchase 1000 of them.

He didn't choose this one before because it was too expensive and he hadn't seen the finished product, so he ignored it.

Now that such power exists, he certainly couldn't miss it. So he gave an order to one of the guards beside him, and the guard came over with his message.

"Miss Naragur, could you provide 1000 of these weapons immediately? If you can provide them within half an hour, our King says we can purchase them at the original price, and then offer a discount on any subsequent purchases. How does that sound?"

This offer is very tempting. Earn an extra 20 crystal coins in half an hour. Why not do it?

"Alright~ Someone, bring out the weapons." As if she had been prepared, Riko waved her hand behind her, and a man carrying something came up and handed her a basin.

Lifting the red cloth on it, the girl picked up something that looked like a bag and then scattered it across an open space.

Suddenly, weapons gleaming with magical light appeared there, all of the same design, yet they brought hope with them.

"Please accept this." The quantity was exactly one thousand; I don't even know if she had calculated it beforehand.

The guard readily handed the girl the card that Wang Quan Tian Xia had given him, while he took out a storage bag, put the items away, and then walked towards Wang Quan Shang.

Presumably, it's time to start distributing these weapons.

"Alright, we've seen the ranged weapons, let's look at the others. Weapons should never be limited to one method. Similarly, if you only use one method to deal with monsters, it's easy to be countered. You need a second method, and a third method."

Riko was happy with the deal she made, so she took the opportunity to sell off the remaining merchandise.
