Guild Boss's Ambition

“Is this the end of my life?”

"Aristocratic society is really not a place for us mortals to stay..."

"Goodbye, second sister, third brother, fourth brother, sister loves you~~"

Then, just when I was about to suffocate to death, Senior Annie pried open my hand that was pinching my nose, wrapped it in her larger and warmer palm, and pulled me to walk: "Okay, stop daydreaming there, we have to hurry up, even though we are old friends, he is still a noble, it is more appropriate for us to be punctual."

Then, to my surprise, I discovered that I was not dead.

"It seems I have the potential to be a noble too!"

"Well, no one needs to complain about me, I know..."

"That's just ordinary air. It's my imagination that's poisonous..."

I secretly felt proud of my imagination, but as I followed Senior Annie, I slowly walked into a cemetery full of flowers. Looking at the graves of the dead one after another, I suddenly felt a little scared. In the cold wind, I unconsciously held Senior's hand tighter, until...

I saw a set of super interesting epitaphs.

The one on the left reads: "Actually I'm not dead, can you please open the coffin?"

The one on the right reads: "Because I opened the coffin, I am dead too."

I couldn't help but burst out laughing, and at this moment, I suddenly heard a whisper between a man and a woman.

"You little bitch, if you have the guts, let us out! I promise I won't bite you to death!"

"..."

I rubbed my ears, hesitated for a moment, and decisively attributed the whispers to my own imagination.

“Who are you kidding! Vampires can’t possibly exist in this world~~”

"By the way, have we been imagining too much recently? We're even hearing voices..."

As we walked and chatted with Senior Annie, we soon arrived in front of an old mansion. The mansion was probably at least several decades old, and the sky above its roof was full of black crows, giving people a very ominous atmosphere. Seeing this gloomy and strange environment, I couldn't help but connect a series of imaginations from this morning to now like a famous detective...

So, we got scared.

I trembled as I pulled Senior Annie's arm and asked, "Senior, for a little loser like me, I generally can't be the protagonist of those supernatural stories, right?"

Seeing my frightened expression, Senior Annie stroked my head reassuringly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Gu Shan. How could a cute little girl like you be the protagonist? If I were the screenwriter, I would definitely write you as a victim who died in a very horrible way. That way, I can highlight the ugliness of the monster in the least amount of space and make the readers tremble with fear."

Gulu

I swallowed hard, complained with a wry smile, "Senior Annie, I'm already scared, please don't scare me again at this time, okay? If I accidentally wet my pants in a noble's house later, how can I find someone willing to marry me in this life! Woo-woo-woo--"

At this moment, Senior Annie revealed an extremely sinister smile.

"Is that so? Then you have to be mentally prepared, Xiao Gushan~"

"Senior! Please don't scare me anymore, okay!"

I hugged my senior's right hand with all my strength, complained loudly with a fierce expression.

Senior Annie scratched her cheek and said seriously, "No, I'm telling you this because I really hope you don't wet your pants. After all, the nobles we're about to meet are not common species. They may even have something to do with ancient epics and myths. If you're not mentally prepared, it's not impossible for you to wet your pants."

28. Corvina (Ancient Mountain)

(Ancient Mountain)

Liking ghost stories and liking ghosts are two completely different things.

I hid behind Senior Annie, only glancing at the door of the house that was knocked by her out of the corner of my eye.

Clang clank.

Because the door is a very thick wooden door, if someone outside wants to inform the person inside, they have to knock on the lion head handle on the door, creating a louder sound through the collision between metal and metal. Nowadays, in fact, most wealthy families use new communication magic circles as doorbells instead of the current primitive retro method.

"Graveyard garden, old house, strange whispers..."

"Isn't this a gorgeous haunted place? There will be ghosts jumping out, right? There will definitely be ghosts coming out to eat people, right?"

It wasn't long before the door of the mansion opened inward.

however……

But we didn't see the person who opened the door!!!

I asked anxiously, "Senior Annie, this is..."

The senior patted the back of my hand and said with a gentle smile: "Don't be afraid, it's probably just a simple magic. I don't think it's some kind of monster. But even if there really is a man-eating monster that comes out, I will definitely protect you, Gushan."

"Senior──I love you!" I shouted gratefully.

Hearing my heartfelt declaration of love, the senior said helplessly: "But no matter how much you love me, please don't just hold my waist. If you stick to my back like this, I can't even walk properly, let alone fight monsters."

"Yes...I'm sorry."

Hearing that, I quickly untied the ten fingers that were wrapped around my senior's belly and hooked my fingers around his left hand instead.

We walked into the mansion. There was a small garden inside the house. It was a solemn and desolate garden with dead weeds everywhere. There were just some gardening tools placed in a disorderly manner on the ground around it. It was obvious that no one had tidied them for a long time. But Senior Anne seemed to have long been accustomed to the desolation of this place. She smiled and walked straight towards the big house inside the wall.

This time, we didn't need to knock on the door, as it was already open.

"I say, is there really no ghost in this house?"

"There are no ghosts. There are really no ghosts."

Senior Annie walked into the house without fear. She ignored the empty hall and led me up the stairs one by one as if she was familiar with the place. Unlike the outside, the scene inside the house was a bit more lively. Things were neatly arranged and the surroundings were spotlessly clean. The floor was even so smooth that it could reflect a blurry reflection. I couldn't help but worry that I would expose myself.

"But why haven't we seen any servants along the way? Such a big house, if there are no servants to help, it would be impossible to maintain such a sterile and dust-free cleanliness, right? No, no, no, maybe there are servants here, but those servants are invisible to me and Senior Annie..."

"Hmmmm, if you think about it this way, wouldn't the mystery of the two doors opening by themselves just now be solved?"

"Oh my god! Why is Gu Shan so smart? You're just scaring yourself even more!"

I was so scared that my teeth started to chatter and I almost wanted to turn around and run away, but following my instinct, I still felt that it was safer to stay with Senior Anne, so I followed her step by step. After we turned several corners in this big house, Senior Anne finally stopped in a small living room. There was a fireplace burning in the living room, and the firelight cast a black figure on the ground at an angle.

Soon, the shadow moved, and a sexy and elegant lady stood in front of the fireplace.

The lady had long dark green hair and two golden eyes as crystal clear and deep as snake's eyes. She was holding a long pipe in her mouth. Her gauze nightgown was loose and half of her breasts were exposed. Her lips were bright red and her expression was half-smile. But the most impressive thing was the pure white snake coiled around her body.

"Annie? Is that you? Annie."

The lady exhaled a long cloud of smoke and said with a smile, "Is there anything special that you came to see Ruan for today?"

"Have you forgotten that it was you who asked me to come and reminisce about the past?"

Senior Annie was startled, took out a letter from her bag and handed it to the lady.

"Oh~~~"

The sexy lady read the letter with a hint of interest, and then she turned her eyes to me: "It seems that Ruan did ask you, Annie, to come and reminisce about the past - then, the little cutie in front of Ruan must be Gu Shan from your Stone House, right? Haha, let me introduce myself to you first. Ruan is Corvina Caesar, the hostess of the Snake House. Nice to meet you."

The sexy lady who called herself Corvina extended her hand to me. I was flattered by this equal treatment, and when I heard the last name Caesar, I was stunned on the spot!

Because when it comes to nobles related to Caesar, the most easily associated thing is the Caesar royal family of the old Falling Kingdom four hundred years ago. Although the Caesar royal family has nominally collapsed, this royal family of the old era still possesses the means and power to change the political situation in the contemporary era. For example, the Nasnong Chamber of Commerce, the richest in our Light Alliance, is a direct organization of the Caesar royal family!

"The rich guy shook my hand!"

"This hand! I haven't washed it in a month!"

"I also managed to hold Annie-senpai's other hand today! I won't wash it either!"

In keeping with the noble family name of Caesar Wang, Ms. Corvina arranged seats and served tea to the two of us visitors in a relaxed manner. During the process, she did not call any servants, but used the invisible wizard's hand to move various objects. In this way, the two windless and automatic doors should also be the effect achieved by her magic.

"Thinking back carefully, I don't think I've had a good chat with you, Annie, since I paid off my debt last time. I've watched you guys grow up, but I didn't expect you to be so heartless and leave the nest. If it weren't for the money, you and Meng'er wouldn't have come to the Snake House to see me even if I urged you three times and four times. I don't know how much I miss you!"

Unlike the royal family I imagined, Ms. Corvina was actually very kind and friendly. Even with us around, she was still very natural. She was lying lazily on the sofa again, smoking a cigarette and chatting with us. Unfortunately, the chilling snake was still crawling towards me...

"Idiot! Go find Anne-senpai! Don't come over here!"

"Mom! Dad! I really can't do anything with reptiles! Please don't come and make love with me!"

Under the gaze of the snake's eyes, I was unable to move like a wooden man. Noticing this, Senior Anne and Ms. Corvina both chuckled at the same time. Ms. Corvina stood up, walked slowly to the big white snake, and grabbed it in her hands. But just when I thought I was going to be saved -

"Xiao Gushan, in fact, the snakes of the Ruan family are very docile. Otherwise, what do you think?"

As she spoke, Ms. Corvina smiled like a devil and threw the big white snake at me like she was throwing away garbage. The big white snake was at least three meters long, and its weight alone knocked me down beside the small sofa. After landing, it began to wrap itself around my body and legs, and even licked my cheeks with its snake fangs.

"Ouch! I'm going to be eaten! I'm going to be eaten! Someone please save me!"

"Come on, Xiaobai~ Eat the little girl~ It will help you live longer~"

With Ms. Corvina's calm encouragement, the little white snake slowly increased its strength around me. However, when I looked back, I found that my hands and feet had already been firmly locked by the big white snake in my panic. No matter how I struggled, its soft and strong body always tightly wrapped me into a straight line.

"I'm going to be swallowed. I'm going to be swallowed smoothly and raw!"

"I heard that being swallowed alive by a snake would cause suffocation and death. The thought of it is terrifying!"

I closed my eyes tightly, not daring to look at the white snake. Just when I thought I was going to die, the pressure on my body suddenly disappeared. When I opened my eyes, the big white snake had disappeared everywhere in the room. However, things did not become a relief because of this, because Ms. Corvina's hair underwent a horrifying change!

"Medusa!"

I pointed at the colorful snake-like hair and let out a scream of despair.

Ms. Corvina laughed cheerfully, "Yes, although I was born in the Caesar royal family, I also have half of Medusa's blood in my body. Because it is an incomplete blood inheritance, I don't have the legendary petrifying magic eye. What I have is only the magic and snake manipulation that I just showed you."

"Corvina, you scared her."

"Oh, you know, as long as it's a small thing, Ruan can't help but play with it!"

Senior Anne gave Ms. Corvina a reproachful look, then walked over to my side, held me in her arms even though I was already trembling, and calmed me with her gentle whispers and delicate touches. I don’t know if it was because Senior Anne was a half-elf, but I hid in her embrace. After a while, I was no longer afraid, and instead began to look curiously at the half-blood not far away.

Ms. Corvina also looked at me curiously with her snake eyes.

She chuckled, blew out a stream of smoke, and said, "Annie, it seems that you brought Ruan a very special little thing this time! Ruan feels that as long as she stays in the stone house, you will have continuous good luck. After all, fools are blessed. And all of you in the stone house always think too carefully and complicatedly, making the ordinary and happy days polluted by you into a pool of stagnant water."

Although it seemed like I was being appreciated, I couldn't understand what the other person meant at all.

"Has the Stone House ever been like a pool of stagnant water?"

"Besides the recent incident of Lan being in a coma, is there anything else bad happening?"

I fell into a brief contemplation, and then my attention was distracted -

"Annie-senpai's breasts smell so good~~"

I thought happily while hiding in my senior’s arms.

29. Ancient Snake (Annie)

(Anne Princeton)

distance.

Ever since she left, I've started to want to keep a certain distance from people.

I also began to consciously fade out of the lives of other friends.

I began to decline invitations from old friends to gatherings, and I began to pretend to be busy with my life. In my free time, I would stay alone in my room with a meaningless reference book, reciting the contents in it that I might never need in my lifetime, so that knowledge could fill my mind and numb my heart. Because I knew that I didn’t have the strength to bear too much sorrow, I would rather take less treasures at the beginning.

But my indifference towards my friends over the past two years has led to my current predicament.

Because of the annoying Xiaogushan, I had to visit an old acquaintance.

However, most of my old friends have lost contact with me without me noticing, and some of them have already moved back to the safer interior of the alliance from the city of Mopolis. As for those friends who are really close to me and hard to part with, they are all busy people who appear and disappear mysteriously. It is probably unrealistic to bring Gushan to meet them at the moment.

Because of this situation, I had no choice but to bring Gushan to the Snake House to visit Caesar's Corvina.

As a long-lived person, Corvina is the person I prefer to keep in touch with but dare not get too close to, because she does not take death seriously enough and can accept the death of anyone calmly. She often says that she is a poisonous snake who only knows how to move forward in a gentle way and is too cold-blooded to remember all the memories of the past.

To me, she might be a very ideal friend.

But the way she cares for her friends is hilarious.

For example, when Meng'er asked her to borrow money to continue the Stone House, she had used some unpleasant words, including some personal attacks on the former president, which made Meng'er very unhappy and also created a layer of barriers between the Snake House and the Stone House.

However, in my opinion, Covina still loves Meng'er very much.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have lent us money at a low interest rate during that difficult time.

Therefore, we, as the younger generation, should actually respect her in everything.

"Corvina, how is everything going at the Snake House?"
