Amelie had studied Lian's secret spicy sauce, and by working backward from the finished product, she judged that the process for making that secret spicy sauce should be similar.

The room that the undead bug has found is the one where the chili sauce is made. The ingredients Lian chose are a type of cod and a type of duck, along with other spices, to make hot oil for the chili sauce.

This step was not performed by Rei herself, but by several girls who were supposed to be Rei's apprentices.

After observing secretly for a while, Amelie determined that there was nothing unusual about the process, nor was there any strange red magic.

This means that the oil in that secret spicy sauce is also fine, so there's only one answer: the problem lies with the chili flakes.

So Emerald controlled the undead insect to fly back to the garbage chute to continue her search. After searching almost the entire fourth floor of the Drunken Red Mansion, she finally arrived at a rather secluded room, and immediately heard Lian's voice upon entering the room.

Contrary to what Emery had guessed, Rei wasn't making chili flakes in the room like a mysterious old witch; instead, she was engaged in a water magic battle!

It refers to the water magic battles that Emerald often engages in with Marcy, Viliana, and the others.

The woman who was pitied as her opponent was also a very beautiful woman, tall and voluptuous, dressed in elegant and expensive clothes, looking like a noblewoman.

During the battle, Rei was the absolute mastermind. She was very similar to Emerald, and with just her two long legs clad in black stockings, she routed the noblewoman, who soon could only ramble on and beg for mercy.

Emery watched with great interest for a while, and after thinking carefully, she finally remembered who the rather beautiful noblewoman was.

She is the wife of a congressman in the Allen Federation Congress. Her husband had run for president but lost before becoming a congressman. She herself is also a well-known socialite.

...How did she end up with Miss Lian?

Amélie became even more curious about Rei and continued to observe her secretly.

After being quickly and repeatedly kicked twice by Lian, the congresswoman's wife seemed to finally be satisfied. She stopped fighting, rested for a while, and then started getting dressed.

Amélie quickly focused her attention, wanting to hear what they had to say.

The conversation between Lian and the noble lady was simple, but the information it revealed made Emerald frown slightly.

As the noblewoman finished dressing and prepared to leave, Lian said to her:

"Then I'll leave the election to you."

The lady nodded obediently and replied:

"Understood, Master."

Emerald initially thought that Rei and the noblewoman were just ordinary lovers, but judging from the noblewoman's attitude towards Rei, she was probably firmly controlled by him and was even ordered to do something related to the election.

The general election in the Allen Federation is, of course, the presidential election.

Similar to the president of the United States on Earth in Amelie's previous life, the president of the Allen Federation is also elected through so-called popular elections. Each president serves a six-year term and cannot be re-elected.

Previously, Emery didn't care much about the Federation President, because everyone knew that Melson and Lohid were the true masters of the Allen Federation, and whoever was president had to regularly report to Melson Manor.

After each federal president leaves office, they almost always go to work for the Merson Group. The group's headquarters has a special department that supports them, so they can be considered to be just receiving a salary without doing any work.

Amelie had visited the place a few times out of curiosity. It was basically a group of retired old men who spent their days fishing and playing cards together, living a pretty comfortable life.

This situation makes it difficult for Emery to have any sense of awe for the president, and she doesn't care who is president.

But things are different now... Lian, who comes from the east of the White Sea, actually wants to interfere in the Federation's election in some way? Could she really be a spy for the Tianyun Empire?

Emerald had the same idea again and made a decision—she would tell the FBI this information so that they would pay more attention to Rei and prevent her from causing any real trouble.

After seeing off the noble lady, Lian quickly made a new move, and it was finally something serious: making chili flakes, something Emerald had always been curious about.

Lian first took out 17 bamboo baskets from her storage items, each containing a different variety of dried chili peppers.

Amelie carefully examined the peppers and recognized 14 of them, but there were 3 that she didn't recognize, which were probably specialties from the east side of the White Sea.

However, even those three types of chili peppers that I don't recognize are just ordinary ingredients, and they don't have that strange red magic, so they shouldn't be the focus.

Emery continued to observe in secret.

Lian quickly took out a large wooden basin with a diameter of nearly two meters, and then poured the dried chilies into the basin in a certain proportion and mixed them evenly.

According to the correct method for making chili flakes, the next step should be to use tools such as a wooden pestle to crush the dried chilies in the large wooden basin.

But pity is not there.

To the astonishment of even Emerald herself, who couldn't help but slightly open her mouth, Lian actually jumped directly into the large basin and used her feet, clad only in black stockings, to stomp on the dried chili peppers.

If I were to make chili sauce for Sisi this way, she would probably be so excited that she would eat it until she dies from the spiciness, right?

Amélie couldn't help but mutter to herself, then her spirits lifted—she finally saw the strange red magic.

Lian's method of making chili flakes by stomping on them was not her own wicked hobby, but rather the result of using her innate magic, or what the Tianyun Empire would call supernatural power.

The two black-haired feet that were constantly crushing dried chilies in the large wooden basin were not stomping randomly without any pattern or rhythm. Instead, one foot was stomping in place while the other foot was stomping in circles, eventually drawing a pattern in the large wooden basin that looked a bit like a tai chi symbol but was not quite a tai chi symbol.

While her feet were constantly moving, Lian's mouth was also busy. She was stomping on the dried chilies in the large wooden basin while muttering something rapidly in a low voice.

Rei spoke too fast and her grammar was strange, so Amelite didn't hear clearly what Rei said at the beginning. But when Rei shouted out the last sentence, Amelite heard it clearly.

"Drink! The Heart-wrenching Kick!"

As she shouted out the name of the move, Rei's final kick landed.

The large wooden basin originally contained only ordinary chili flakes, but at this moment it suddenly turned an eerie red, completely merging with the strange red magic that Lian released through her feet—this is the real reason why the food at Drunken Red Mansion is exceptionally delicious.

Amelie watched until the end with a complicated expression.

If Rei were an ugly monster or a man, he would be dead by now. If Rei dared to use his feet to make food for Amelie to eat, Amelie would definitely not let him go.

But if Lian is a beautiful girl, that's a different story.

After witnessing firsthand the actual production process of that magical secret spicy sauce, Amelie didn't feel disgusted by the food at Drunken Red Mansion; in fact, she seemed to have an even greater appetite.

Moreover, Lian's unique cooking method inspired Amelie, who planned to try it out when she got back.

She planned to personally stomp on some ordinary brewed wine while wearing black stockings as a special reward for Marcy when she completed the mission, which Marcy certainly wouldn't refuse.

After the truth about the secret spicy sauce that had always intrigued Amelie was revealed, Amelie broke control over the undead insects and stopped secretly observing Lian, focusing instead on enjoying a delicious meal at Drunken Red Mansion with her family and friends.

After Lian finished making the secret spicy sauce, she learned that Amelie had brought her family to Zuihonglou. She personally came to the private room to chat with them for a long time and also enjoyed the song and dance performance of Zuihonglou together.

The song and dance performance was still in the Eastern style, with more than a dozen young beauties dressed in white dresses, looking like fairies, dancing gracefully on the stage. They even used serious water magic to create white mist effects while dancing.

The dance was quite beautiful, and you could tell the girls had practiced diligently, but the overly voluptuous figures of the Federation women dressed in oriental-style white dresses still looked a bit odd... In any case, it was very different from the fairies that Amelie had imagined; they were more like the kind of Thunder Fairy from strange novels and picture books who would be 100% defeated by evil cultivators...

The meal lasted until the moon was high in the sky before Emerald and her companions paid the bill and left.

Lady Catherine was alright. Although she thought the food at Zui Hong Lou was excellent, her taste was typical of a Commonwealth person. She preferred sweets and wasn't very interested in spicy food, so she didn't show any interest in coming back to Zui Hong Lou.

Yulia and the others knew that the secret spicy sauce contained special magic, so they were always wary of the food at Drunken Red Mansion and wouldn't get addicted even if they thought it was delicious.

Only Lulu and Bobo, the two little pink-haired girls, had been fed oriental-style food by Emerald since they were little, so their tastes were already shaped by oriental cuisine. They loved the food at Zui Hong Lou so much that they were already discussing coming back to eat there again tomorrow before they even got home.

Considering the senator's wife's strange behavior, Amelie ultimately didn't dare to let her younger siblings run wild, so she disciplined the two little pink-haired girls, restricting their visits to the Drunken Red Mansion on the grounds that they were minors and shouldn't go to brothels alone.

Back at Melson Manor, neither of the two pink-haired girls stayed at Emerald's place; instead, they went to sleep at Catherine's.

Catherine was still clearly shaken by her daughter's kidnapping that afternoon, and the sensible Lulu decided to spend the evening with her mother... Anyway, Amelie was coming back to stay for a few days, so Lulu would have plenty of opportunities to be affectionate with her sister.

Without her younger siblings around to bother her, Emerald spent most of the night practicing water magic with Marcy.

Perhaps because she had been brought back to life today, Marcy seemed very excited. Every time she successfully cast a water spell, she would shout loudly, making Julia and Flora, who lived in the two rooms next door, toss and turn and unable to sleep...

Some of Julia and Flora, unable to bear it any longer, planned to protest to Emerald, only to run into her right in front of her door.

The two women, who couldn't sleep because of Amelie and Marcy's water magic, exchanged a glance, their eyes blazing with anger. Then, they both gave up on protesting to Amelie and Marcy and left Melson Manor together, even leaving Sphinx, and went out into the wilderness.

They decided to vent in another way... they were going to fight all night!

So that night, the monsters in the wilderness near Risfingart were in for a rough time. They were either punched so hard their brains went blank, or bombarded by rose petals and scattered all over the place.

The next morning, the first person to get up at Emerald's place was Sulina.

Sulina's room was opposite Amelie's room, and she had also heard the sounds of Amelie and Marcy fighting with water magic last night.

However, Su Lina adapted very well, slept soundly all night, and woke up in the morning full of energy and radiant.

Sulina took this opportunity to perform in Sphingart very seriously, so shortly after getting up, she went to the Melson Hotel to wake up her girlfriends, and then they started practicing their singing and dancing on the lawn of the estate.

A little while later, Emerald got up, dressed and washed with Marcy's help, and then sat in the garden in front of her house, basking in the morning light while eating breakfast.

After eating about a third of a round whole wheat bread, Julia and Flora, who had been out fighting monsters and battling each other all night, finally returned together.

Both of them were clearly full of energy; after fighting all night, they weren't tired at all, and instead looked refreshed.

They didn't stand on ceremony; upon returning, they immediately sat down on either side of Emerald and began grabbing breakfast from the plate in front of her. Julia even asked while eating:

"By the way, the opening ceremony isn't until the day after tomorrow, right? So, Emerald, what are your plans for today?"

"What are your plans for today?"

Emerald first squinted and touched Julia's white stockings while she ate her breakfast, then deliberately grinned mischievously:

"In the morning, I plan to go and check out the company that Grandpa gave me. In the afternoon, I'll take Flora on a date... Just the two of us, Julia, you can go have fun by yourself."

puff!

Flora had just taken a glass of fresh milk from Marcy and was drinking it when she heard this, so she immediately spat out the milk, spraying it onto Emery's legs and leaving mottled white spots on her black stockings.

"You, you, you... don't talk nonsense! When did I agree to go on a date with you?"

Although Yulia didn't say anything, her lips were so pouty they could hold two ounces of sesame oil, and her hands were unconsciously twisting the hem of her skirt, clearly showing that she was very unhappy.

"Bo-er... I'm planning to go to your family's club this afternoon, Flora, aren't you coming with me?"

Emery remained completely calm. She first quickly attacked Julia's pouting lips, then stretched out her leg to Marcy, asking Marcy to help wipe the splattered milk off her black stockings.

This made Marcy extremely happy. She immediately knelt down and carefully hugged Emerald's legs, wiping them little by little with a tissue... If they weren't outdoors and might be seen by others, she would have preferred to use her mouth instead of the tissue.

"Oh, so you're going to the club? Of course I'll go."

Flora then realized what was happening, breathed a sigh of relief, and explained to Julia:

"Our club is only open to those who have reached the Fusion stage, and each member can only bring one person with them when they enter."

"...The Lohid Club, whose members are all experts in the Fusion stage?"

Julia covered her face, which was slightly red from Emerald's sneak attack on her mouth:

"Hmph, even without that scoundrel Emery taking me, I'll soon be qualified to enter on my own! It's just the Fusion Stage, right? I'll break through soon enough...right Emery?"

Finally, Julia looked at Emilyte with anticipation and acted coquettishly.

"Yes, if the plan goes smoothly, it should be soon."

Emerald reached out and touched Julia's white stockings again, a doting smile on her face:

“I’ve made all the arrangements. Once we’re done in Sphinx and back, you can try to break through… I estimate there should be at least a 30% chance of success.”

"Only 30%?"

"Thirty percent?"

Julia and Flora simultaneously let out gasps of completely different meanings, and then looked at each other.

Julia was smug, as if all her skills were due to her own hard work. Flora, on the other hand, was filled with jealousy, her eyes even turning red.

There were a few moments when Flora really wanted to ask Emerald directly—if I practiced water magic with you like your maid and guards, could you help me break through quickly?

But Flora ultimately didn't ask that question. As a genius and beautiful young mage of the Lohid family, she also had dignity, and she wanted to break through to become a Grand Mage through her own abilities.

"A 30% success rate and you're still not satisfied? Honey, you're so greedy!"

Emerald then pinched Julia again and gave her a lecture.

After breakfast, Julia and Flora, who had been playing all night, finally felt tired and decided to go back to their rooms to catch up on sleep until noon.

As planned, Amelie prepared to head to the Melson Tower to check on the new company that Baphomet had given her.

However, just as Emerald summoned her magical chair and prepared to sit down, Marcy grabbed the hem of her skirt and pointed to the black stockings on her legs:

"Um... Miss, your pantyhose were splattered with fresh milk. Although I've wiped them clean, it would be best if you changed into a different pair?"

As she spoke, Marcy pulled out a new pair of black stockings and looked at Emerald with expectant eyes.

"..."

Amelie gave Marcy a disdainful look, which only excited Marcy more.

Since Marcy became a qualified personal maid, Amelie has always worn new black stockings every time she changes them; the old stockings she took off have never appeared again.

"……Fine."

However, Emery clearly still doted on Marcy. She snapped her fingers, using disguise magic to hide herself and Marcy, while gently raising one leg:

"Come on, Sisi."
