--- Chapter 80 ---

Two years later, In the star luo city, a modest two-story building near the north wall stood with a peaceful atmosphere.

Inside of it, a teenager with long back hair tied in a ponytail, he's around 4.8 feet and quietly sitting on a chair while playing with a cup of herbal tea.

The teenager has an excellent slender stature and a handsome face that can attract various ladies. Not only that, but his reddish-black eyes were also very enchanting and would make someone unable to stop looking at it.

"Hmm, I wonder what my sister is doing now?" Yunlong said while taking a sip of the herbal tea prepared by his red-haired maid, Bai Xue.

"As always, Bai Xue's tea tastes good..." He commented with a smile on his face.

Yunlong closed his eyes a little and remembered what he has been doing in the past two years.

At first, Yunlong tackled a few necessary guards. He also took control of the city economy by putting an illusion in a few wealthy business group's leaders. Which is so easy as they're only puny spirit masters with weak spiritual levels.

'Well, the nobles are also easy to control, surprisingly.' Yunlong thought while remembering a few noble houses already in his grasp, which made his plan run very smoothly.

'Hmm, If only I could get the Duke in my hand.' He continued with a sigh because high-leveled nobles like the duke and royal family are really hard to control for him at the moment.

Yunlong is also still searching for a certain girl in this empire, which probably would be a key to take control of the empire.

'Zhu Zhuqing.' Yunlong thought of a black-haired girl with cat ears, one of the main cast of the original story, which is also the companion of the main protagonist.

'Hmm. Zhuqing is basically a princess, but I can't find her since the star luo empire's royal family tends to hide their heir's presence from the outside world.' He added with a slight frown.

Knock! Knock!

A few knocking sounds suddenly entered his ears, which made Yunlong shift his gaze to the door.

"Young master… It's me." A quiet voice entered the room.

"You can enter, Xiaoyu," Yunlong responded while looking at the beautiful maid girl who entered his room.

Chu Xiaoyu stood around 4.4 feet. She has an excellent slim figure because of her training. Her face has become more refined and combined with her bright yellow eyes, she looks like a noble young lady.

'Well, if only Xiaoyu is more talkative.' Yunlong commented in his head.

"Xiaoyu, come here." Yunlong suddenly said while tapping his lap, which made the quiet maid stare at him with a disapproving gaze.

Chu Xiaoyu silently walked toward him and sat on his lap, which made Yunlong smile at her.

Yunlong gently patted his maid on the head for a moment and asked, "What is the situation of the market?"

"It's stable." Chu Xiaoyu silently answered while secretly enjoying his pats.

Yunlong's relationship with his maids also has improved a lot. Well, it's not like that they had a terrible relationship, to begin with.

Chu Xiaoyu would always be a good and loyal attendant, which is very dependable. Even though she looks calm on the outside and not very talkative, Yunlong knows her very well since she likes to be a little spoiled by him.

Yu Ning'er also became more trustworthy in the past two years. She likes to show her affection to him but became shy when Yunlong teased her.

As for Bai Xue, she's a particular case as she's really close and would cling to Yunlong everywhere if they're talking about medicinal or alchemist's skills.

"Let's take a stroll around the city." Yunlong suddenly suggested.

"Also call Bai Xue and Yu Ning'er, tell them today is a resting day." He added while looking at his maid, who responded with a quiet nod.

Chu Xiaoyu patted Yunlong's shoulder a few times and nodded with a satisfied expression. "I will call them." She said and then walked away from him.

As his maid went away, Yunlong shook his head and let out a chuckle. "Today is a good day." He said while lifting his body from the seat.

After preparing himself a little, Yunlong walked downstairs and found his maids already waiting for him. "Young master!" Yu Ning'er greeted with a sincere expression on her face.

"Mm, how is your training?" Yunlong asked while giving her a smile.

"It's good..!" Yu Ning'er answered with a firm nod.

Yu Ning'er has grown a lot in these two years. She's older than the rest of them, also because of her puberty, her body has developed a lot.

She stood around the same height as Yunlong and has long brown hair tied in a ponytail. She also wore tight-fitting clothes, which showcase her developed bosom.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Bai Xue is calmly sitting on a chair and reading a book. She has a somewhat slim stature and height of around 4.2, which made her the tiniest member of all of them.

Bai Xue wore casual clothes, which didn't showcase her body, but her red apple hair remained short, and her face has become beautiful over the years.

"I see…" Yunlong nodded and shifted his gaze to the red-haired maid, who calmly read the book with glittering green eyes.

He quickly snatched the book, which made Bai Xue stare at him with a frown. "Please give my book back." She said.

"How about no," Yunlong replied, which made her pout at him.

"It's a resting day, so you won't read anything today because we are going to walk around the city." He stated with a firm tone.

Bai Xue released a small sigh when she heard his words and replied, "Okay, I sometimes need to relax too, I guess."

"Good, I will test your alchemist skill later," Yunlong whispered, which brightened Bai Xue's eyes because she has many pills that she wants to show to him.

"Mm, sure!" Bai Xue replied with a smile, which made Yunlong laugh because it's all according to the plan.

--- In the city center ---

Yunlong and his maids walked beside each other. They walked for a few minutes and enjoyed the scenery of the city's activities.

They stopped at the fountain near the center of the shopping district, where noble carriages moved around and vendors were selling their products.

Yunlong's eyes scanned through the vendors and found something interesting: a small stall that sells a few random items like shiny jewels, books, fabrics, and weird-looking rocks.

'Oh, interesting.' Yunlong thought. He walked toward the stall and saw a middle-aged woman calmly sit in it.

"Do you want to buy something, handsome boy?" The middle-aged woman warmly smiled at him, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.

"Well, what about those jewels? I'm pretty sure they're very well matched for those cute girls." She said while looking at the three maids, who are calmly waiting behind him.

"Do you want it?" Yunlong asked his maids, who nodded their heads at the same time.

"I want a book, though." Bai Xue whispered while swaying her head away, which made the middle-aged woman chuckle.

"Well, I have a few interesting books." The middle-aged woman stated.

After scanning the goods using his system, Yunlong picked a few items, making the middle-aged woman stunned. But he seems to have ignored the good things that she had prepared.

"How much for these items?" Yunlong pointed at a pile of items that he had chosen for a few minutes.

"Uh, wait for a second… I will calculate it." The middle-aged woman laughed because she didn't expect him to buy this much.

They waited a bit, and the middle-aged woman said, "It's twenty silver coins."

"Only that much? Okay." Yunlong took a few coins from his pocket and placed them on the counter.

"Bye, grandma." He said and then walked away with his maids.

The middle-aged woman released a sigh and looked at the counter, where she found twenty gold coins, which shocked her.

"W-Wait, it's too much!" She hurriedly shouted while looking at Yunlong, who had walked a few meters away.

"Take the change for yourself," Yunlong said while waving his hand, which made the middle-aged woman stunned.

"T-Thank you…" The middle-aged woman bowed her body, but Yunlong was already far away.

---------

"Young master, why did you give her so much money?" Yu Ning'er curiously asked.

"Well, she deserved it," Yunlong answered with a slight smile on his face.

He looked at a weird-looking rock, and a system panel instantly appeared.
