You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

In fact, Shiloh also had a knack for naming things, but he never exposed his weakness, so he turned his attention to Elena.

"Elena?"

Elena, resting her chin on her hand, pondered quietly. Then, she raised a finger and said softly, "How about we call it 'Maple Abode'?"

Wow~

Upon hearing this, Shiloh's eyes lit up. He pinched Elena's cheek and chuckled, "Not bad, not bad, it's a very nice name~ Is it based on 'Maple Leaf Territory'?"

Elena nodded shyly at making such an intimate gesture in front of outsiders, saying, "The image of 'resting' is also quite comforting, and..."

Elena thought for a moment, then held the bra in front of her and nodded, saying, "It fits the purpose of our product perfectly."

Chapter 54 My Beautiful Aunt (3k)

After the brand name was decided, Xiluo had several samples packed up and then sent to an address in the capital.

Since the goal is to go the high-end luxury goods route, in addition to ensuring the quality of the products themselves, it is also necessary to leverage personal connections for promotion.

Coincidentally, in the capital, Shiloh met an intelligence queen who had close ties with many noblewomen.

This woman and Shiloh's mother addressed each other as sisters, so it could be said that he grew up calling her "Auntie".

Finding a quiet spot, Xi Luo took out his terminal with a complicated expression and made a call.

In the original story, there is a vague description of the aunt and the protagonist.

The mysterious lady arrived at Maple Leaf Territory, and beneath the maple trees, she softly hummed a lullaby, as if soothing someone's soul.

[Afterward, the magnificent and solemn dark red dress completely faded.]

She travels the world in the name of darkness, searching for the murderer who killed her beloved.

In Shiloh's memory, his aunt, whom he later saw in various parts of the world during the game, always appeared dressed in a dark black dress.

In this world, the mourning clothes in the culture of the Odrecia Empire were black.

Xi Luo scratched his head, recalling memories related to his aunt.

In my memory, my aunt always had a gentle demeanor, unlike other "frightening" ladies. Sometimes when she was around, I didn't have to worry about my little face getting hurt.

Moreover, his aunt didn't seem to have any intention of making a move on him. Every time they were alone, she would just quietly look at him, her smile full of tenderness...

It can be said that during her childhood, her aunt was her ideal woman, and only in front of her could Xi Luo restrain her unrestrained and carefree attitude.

Shiloh raised an eyebrow, looking at the terminal in his hand with some surprise.

This was answered instantly...

"Little Shiloh?"

Before Xi Luo could speak, a soft, mature voice called out, seemingly in a hurry.

"Auntie."

Silo's expression was somewhat complicated, but he responded with a smile.

Hearing the familiar, yet less youthful, boyish voice, the person on the other end of the line seemed to pause for a moment before continuing in a soft voice, suppressing some kind of impulse: "Really, it's been so long since you've talked to your aunt."

"How have you been lately? Maple Leaf Territory is quite remote, are you settling in alright? Oh, and the food, are you having any trouble adjusting to the local cuisine? Be sure to tell your aunt if you have any problems, okay? Also, when are you coming back... Auntie misses you a bit..."

The mature, beautiful woman opposite him spoke at length, but Xi Luo showed no sign of impatience; her brows were filled with a faint smile.

"Don't worry, I'm doing fine here... As for returning to the capital, I'll go back once I've resolved the issue of the extraordinary circuits."

"Huh?! Little Shiloh, you've already found a way to restore your supernatural circuits?!"

From her tone, it was clear that the mature and beautiful woman was somewhat uneasy, fearing that Shiloh had been deceived.

After pondering for a while, Shiloh gave Elena a wink, signaling her to send all the other bystanders away. Once Cecilia nodded to indicate that everyone around had been cleared out, Shiloh recounted all her recent experiences to her aunt.

When the conversation turned to someone trying to frame him, the voice on the other end of the terminal completely disappeared, replaced by a deep, oppressive aura that made even Shilo tremble.

After calming down, I realized that the original work described my aunt very little, but judging from her behavior, she was definitely not an ordinary person... or even, in a sense, not a human being in the true sense of the word.

As times have progressed, although the Divine Court and the Abyss are absolute opposites, when it comes down to the intermediate realm, there are some instances of peaceful coexistence between the beings of the human world and the demon race.

In the human cities that established diplomatic relations with these demon races that refused conflict and upheld peace, it was natural that there would be cases of humans and demons falling in love and giving birth to hybrid races.

My aunt has snow-white hair and eyes like the red moon. It can be said that such human characteristics are almost non-existent in the empire's native land, so she is most likely a hybrid.

After hearing Xiluo recount how he had dealt with all those who wanted to harm him, the oppressive aura on the other end of the terminal gradually dissipated, followed by a soft laugh filled with admiration and appreciation.

"Hehehe~ Little Shiloh has finally grown up... Auntie is so happy~!"

A mature, pleasant laugh came from the terminal, indicating the beautiful woman was in a very good mood. However, her tone suddenly turned cold as she said, "However, I'll keep an eye on those who want to harm you in the capital. I won't let anyone who dares to hurt you get away with it..."

Hearing the words of someone so protective of their child, Xi Luo felt a warmth in her heart and said, "Auntie, there's actually something else I'd like you to help me with?"

"Hmm? Little Xiluo actually needs my help?"

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman became visibly excited, her tone filled with joy.

After all, for her, born into wealth, there was almost nothing that required help from others.

The only thing that needed help was repairing her supernatural circuits, but despite the fact that the beautiful woman had secretly spent a lot of resources searching for a safe and effective way to do so, she still hadn't found one.

Fortunately, Little Shiloh had already resolved the issue with the extraordinary circuits on his own, and for the first time, there was a situation where he needed to rely on her, which filled the beautiful woman with joy.

"Quickly tell your auntie! Even if it's a huge problem, I'll help you!"

After receiving this assurance, Shiloh told her aunt about her brand building plan for luxury lingerie, which surprised her greatly.

“Little Shiloh… he really, really has grown into a wonderful boy…”

After remarking this, the beautiful woman carefully examined the product images that Xi Luo had sent to her terminal, and finally concluded that such a product would definitely cause a huge stir among the noblewomen of the capital!

"Shall we split the profits from this project 60/40?"

"Eh?"

The beautiful woman paused for a moment, then frowned slightly, her tone tinged with displeasure, and said, "What's wrong? We've only been away from the capital for a few days, and you've already become so estranged from your aunt?"

Xi Luo straightened up, feeling a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Hey, what are you saying? I just don't want my aunt to suffer a loss."

"Alright, alright, your auntie isn't short of money, you can keep it for yourself. But, I didn't expect you to come up with such an idea, tsk tsk tsk... If those she-wolves find out about this, it'll probably be quite a scene when you return to the capital, won't it?"

Upon hearing this, Xi Luo immediately pictured the chaotic scene in his mind, and shuddered. He quickly said, "So I plan to hide my identity as a designer and just say that I have a unique design team. I also won't publicly manage [Maple Nest Workshop], and the external manager has already been chosen."

Ok?

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman on the other end of the terminal frowned sharply and asked, "Is the manager a girl?"

"Uh...yes."

Xi Luo replied somewhat awkwardly that, knowing that his aunt might have some other feelings for him, he really didn't know how to react in matters of the heart.

Upon hearing this, the terminal fell into a long silence. After a long while, a mature and gentle voice finally rang out again: "That girl... what's her name? Where is she from? Can she be trusted?"

The speaker asked three questions in a row. Although it sounded like an elder showing concern for a younger person, the suppressed emotions in the tone of the voice changed the meaning of the words quite a bit...

"Her name is Elena, and she's one of my lovers now. As for loyalty, don't you know my judgment?"

After all, his aunt was family, and Xi Luo didn't want to deceive her, so he calmly told her the truth.

one?

Having keenly grasped the meaning of that word, the beautiful woman felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart again, and fell silent once more.

Xi Luo didn't say anything. It could be said that since he remembered his memories of his past life, he never thought of letting go of his beautiful aunt who had feelings for him.

However, since I've decided to win over my aunt later, I absolutely cannot deliberately hide my current emotional state. At least for now, I need to give her some psychological preparation.

"Ha...really, you've only been away from the capital for a short time and you've already become so bad. How come I never noticed before? You're such a lecherous brat!"

His slightly tired tone carried a sense of helplessness; it seemed like a complaint, but it was actually a way of masking a faint sense of disappointment.

"Alright, bring those little girls with you when you come back to the capital so I can see them too. I'll discuss the mastermind with my sister and the others, so don't worry."

"Thank you, Auntie. I like you the most."

"Ok??"

Before the beautiful woman could say a word, Shiloh shut down the communication on the terminal.

Inside a luxurious room in the capital city.

The beautiful woman lying on the chaise lounge suddenly sat up, staring intently at the terminal with its screen off. Her bright red eyes widened, giving her mature and beautiful face a charmingly naive quality.

After standing still for a long time, the beautiful woman suddenly burst out laughing. The open neckline of her thin nightgown slid down her smooth, fragrant shoulders to her elbows, and the huge, white and red treasure chest instantly filled the quiet room with fragrance.

She casually tossed the terminal onto the bed. Although it was common to install anti-spy magic devices near residences, the beautiful woman still habitually drew the curtains, and then her silk nightgown slid to the floor like water.

"Little Shiloh has really entered puberty; he even dares to tease me."

After changing into a long, fully covered dress and donning a wide-brimmed veil, the beautiful woman looked at her mysterious and elegant reflection in the mirror. A blush suddenly rose on her face. Gently stroking her cheeks, she murmured, "Perhaps, this isn't so bad after all..."

As her thoughts settled, the beautiful woman's expression returned to calm, and her gentle voice became solemn and stern.

“Send a message to the Wells couple saying that Natalia is planning to visit.”

Chapter 55 Irene's Doubts, and the Injection of the Elixir by Shiloh

After Shiloh hung up the call, Elena and Cecilia immediately moved closer, pretending not to care.

Cecilia was rather reserved, while Elena made no attempt to hide her feelings by clinging to Shiloh's arm and gazing at him with her large, amethyst eyes.

Seeing this, Shiloh immediately knew what Elena wanted to ask.

"She's an elder, and she's very capable. You should learn from her from now on."

Shiloh pinched Elena's soft little face and shook it, then said with a smile.

Elena was not surprised by this statement, after all, she could tell from Silo's words that she would be dealing with him quite often in the future.

"Are there any things I should be careful about when interacting with my aunt?"

Xi Luo's eyes widened for a moment, then she chuckled and pinched her lips, saying, "Changing your address so quickly... it's really nothing, Auntie is very easy to get along with. If I had to say, Auntie prefers quiet, but I think you two get along quite well."

Xi Luo gently patted Elena's head. After all, it was her first time meeting a big shot from the capital. Although it wasn't outwardly obvious, he could sense her nervousness.

The warmth of his hand dispelled Elena's anxiety. She nodded gently, then reluctantly broke away from Shiloh's tenderness, raising her eyes to say, "I want to learn about the operation of [Maple Nest]."

"Well, let's go."

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Xiluo smiled slightly, bent down and kissed Elena's lips, which made her smile with satisfaction as she walked into the workshop.

Soon, it was evening.

After finishing their work, Shiloh and the others returned to the lord's manor. The guards and maids informed them that Irene had woken up and was now waiting in her room for Shiloh's next instructions.

Upon hearing this news, Xi Luo immediately went to the little girl's room. When she saw Irene sitting upright on the bed with her eyes slightly closed, an inexplicable change lingered around her.

Although the curtains were drawn and it was already evening, the room was excessively dark, with only a tiny candle-like lamp providing illumination; the rest of the room was practically pitch black.

As Shiloh stepped into the room, the shadows that had been looming over the entire space seemed to be suddenly disturbed, like ferocious beasts awakened, all turning to "look" at Shiloh.

"Eileen?"

The familiar sound rang out, and the writhing shadow that had been poised to attack instantly shrank back, as if it had transformed from a mountain lord into a little black cat, filling the room with light once more.

Sitting on the bed, Irene opened her eyes in a panic. She didn't even bother to put on her shoes and ran barefoot on the plush blanket to Xi Luo. She looked up at him like a little girl who had done something wrong.

Xiluo knew what Irene was thinking, so he smiled and patted her little head, saying, "Of course I know little Irene won't hurt me. She was just being unconsciously wary just now. I know that."

"Mmm~!"

Upon hearing this, Irene breathed a sigh of relief. Although all her subconscious aggression vanished after hearing Shiloh's voice, she still felt a heavy sense of guilt.

Why couldn't I sense my master's presence the moment he stepped into the room and wake up?

This question lingered in Irene's mind, making her face turn slightly pale.

Does this mean that my loyalty and faith in my master and brother are not enough?

Although she had embarked on the path of extraordinary cultivation and was currently at the same level as Shiloh, Irene still felt that she had made an irreparable mistake, and her face grew even paler.

Shiloh keenly noticed this, his brow furrowing slightly. He then pulled Irene onto his lap, gently stroking her face, and softly asked, "Do you feel guilty?"

Irene's breath hitched; she hadn't expected her master to be able to see right through her inner thoughts.

But when she thought about how this person had saved her life, and how he was her destined god and her master's brother, Irene suddenly felt relieved. Then she nodded sadly and whispered, "I can't forgive myself for not recognizing my master's brother's information beforehand..."

Xi Luo carefully groomed the little girl's smooth, dark hair, listened to her apology, and suddenly burst out laughing.
