Dear Sister:

My fiancé has successfully cultivated the plants you need.

I cordially invite you to the Tankar Forest, and oh, you may bring your husband, my dear brother-in-law, along.

It's obvious that he gets along really well with my darling!

Your half-sister, Alice

(Note: You absolutely must come!)

At the breakfast table, Li Aili held the letter, overjoyed.

Although there were enough "magical plants" left in the refrigerator, she wouldn't encounter the same predicament she faced when she returned from the Campbell black market.

But for Fisher-Nankey, the “miracle plants” she cultivated were like an oasis in the desert.

"I want to go to the Tankar Forest!" Li Aili exclaimed excitedly.

The duke, who was about to flip through the newspaper, paused when he remembered the Elf King.

Li Aili clearly didn't intend to bring a man.

"I'll go and come back quickly, just like last time. At most..." she counted on her fingers, "...five days at most, I'll be back in five days!"

The Duke put down his newspaper. "Perfect timing. I have some things I need to discuss with our 'brother-in-law'."

“My dear, I’ll go with you,” the Duke said, tapping his fingers on the table.

Li Aili: "..."

Ever since the Duke told her that secret, things have become a bit awkward between them.

Li Aili wanted to go out alone for a while to calm down.

By the way, I'd like to ask the relationship guru, the flower fairy Alice, but what was her purpose in coming all this way with that bastard?!

However, the reason Arthur gave her was one that she couldn't refuse.

She was like a kitten whose fur had been pricked by humans who had no sense of distance, saying, "Oh, then let's go together."

The Duke looked down at her until Li Aili felt a little uneasy, then he said, "I'll go arrange the official business for the next few days."

The man strode out of the restaurant.

Li Aili finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She urgently needs a relationship expert to answer her questions! Immediately! Right now!

The next day, the two boarded a magic carriage and headed straight for the Tankar Forest.

This time, several elite squads from the Cold Jade Knights accompanied them as guards.

"Is it alright to just leave Bogdard in the castle like that?"

The Duke, unusually, wasn't reading a book; he was looking at Li Aili.

He rested his chin on one hand, tilted his head slightly, and his blue eyes were deep and focused.

Li Aili felt like her bottom was on fire; she couldn't stand anywhere without feeling uneasy.

The Duke said, "There won't be any problem, the potion you gave me..."

"It was a bit of a waste to use it on that jade dragon, so I changed my approach to make it obedient."

Li Aili: "..." Wait, didn't you just say that you embezzled a bottle of my miracle drug?

The Duke said, "Except for not being allowed to touch the dragon, all the jade dragon gems it produces, its dragon blood, and its dragon scales are yours."

Li Aili immediately began to do some calculations.

Can 22,000 points of good/evil reputation buy ownership of a dragon?

Can you get him to donate blood every month? Can you get him to produce jade dragon scales for you every month?

What a load of rubbish!

The Alchemy House's 'Black Cart' is so black that even the Minotaur would kneel down and call it 'Grandmaster' upon seeing it!

The Duke added, "If you find that old dragon's hide too rough, I'll kill a few for you to use as alchemy materials later."

Li Aili: "..."

Aren't dragons the 'strategic creatures' of the six great empires?

Don't talk to me like that!

"Ah! Speaking of which, Alice specifically invited you to come along in her letter." Li Aili had to change the subject.

"They say Fisheranaki and you get along very well."

Arthur Cold Jade: "..."

The Duke's expression became slightly unnatural.

Li Aili looked at the Duke curiously, "Is that really how it is?"

Arthur Cold Jade: "Yes, my dear. I want to see him as much as he wants to see me."

I really didn't recognize Li Aili.

She exclaimed with admiration, "Oh, Alice really understands men! I didn't realize any of this before."

Arthur: "..."

...

Tankar Forest is located a little south of Campbell Black Market.

Because she didn't have any gold coins to make a teleportation array when she ran away from home last time, it took her half a month to arrive at Campbell.

Now there are teleportation arrays to clear the way.

In less than two days, they arrived at the Tankar Forest, located outside of Clark.

This place is nothing like what Li Aili imagined.

At the entrance to the forest, a long, serpentine procession of various intelligent races stood.

A group of elves dressed in silver robes were busy as if they were a group of rapidly spinning 'silver tops'.

Goods were constantly being transported from the depths of the forest to the entrance checkpoint, where they were then sold to these big merchants by these 'silver spinning tops'.

It was the first time Li Aili had ever seen gold coins being transported by horse-drawn carriage, and it was truly... making her extremely envious.

As their party reached the entrance to Tankar Forest, a patrol of elven rangers stepped forward and stopped the leading group of Cold Emerald Knights.

"Is that Princess Alice's older sister, Princess Li Aili's carriage?"

Li Aili felt a little complicated about becoming a prince among a group of tall, handsome men through nepotism.

The knights of the Cold Emerald Knights are even more complicated.

This was the first time they had encountered a situation where they needed to leverage the Duchess's prestige.

Li Aili lifted her skirt and stepped down from the carriage.

“Yes, we have come to visit His Majesty Fisheranaki.” She smiled slightly, her beauty breathtaking.
