...

The legendary Black Widow is said to have countless faces, and all who have seen her true face are dead.

At this moment, Black Widow Meng Tuoluo was playing the role of a well-bred lady. Or rather, she didn’t need to pretend at all since she was a noblewoman by birth.

Perhaps because Suo Lun had been looking at her for too long, her beautiful eyes glanced in his direction. But it was just a fleeting glance, devoid of any expression or emotion before it moved away.

Next, a handsome young man stepped forward and draped a luxurious cloak over her shoulders with tender words, nothing but concern about the height and the strong wind here.

Meng Tuoluo smiled sweetly at him, then went back inside.

This man was very handsome, tall, and robust, undoubtedly the young master of Heilie Castle.

When he looked at Meng Tuoluo, his gaze was tender and infatuated, clearly smitten with her to the bone. And with his marriage to such a stunning beauty imminent, this was probably the happiest moment of his life.

Little did he know, he wouldn’t survive the wedding night this evening.

"Another pitiful man," Suo Lun thought to himself, then lowered his gaze.

Now, Suo Lun had to find a way to infiltrate Heilie Castle. However, the clothes on his back, picked from the Snake Tribe, were shabby, and with his currently dreadful countenance, he feared he could not enter such an extravagant castle.

But Suo Lun quickly dismissed this concern as people were coming and going through the castle gates--not only the resplendent rich but also the rugged and uncouth, with wandering Samurais from the Hundred Thousand Mountains being the most common.

It clicked for Suo Lun. Heilie Castle was merely a local power, not aristocratic. Thus, while appearing opulent, it didn’t reach the level where only the cream of society could come and go.

Suo Lun breezed into Heilie Castle without any trouble; the Samurai guarding the gate merely glanced at him indifferently, offering no resistance.

...

Heilie Castle spanned dozens of acres, without gardens, just one massive fortress, surrounded by towering walls that made it look more like a military stronghold.

This was a frontier area, just over a hundred miles from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, rife with combat and death, no place for lush gardens or elegant pavilions.

The Castle Lord Feng Bolie was a famous strongman across the entire borderland, highly skilled in martial arts, with over a thousand soldiers under his command. The reason he built his castle in such a perilous location was due to his family’s industry nearby, a vein of magic silver ore.

As said before, the easiest way to make money in the world is through Dark Gold and White Gold Mines.

Magic silver may not be as rare as Dark Gold and White Gold, but it is an expensive metal, widely used. Owning a vein of magic silver meant a daily influx of Gold Coins like running water.

Feng Bolie’s vein had been mined for twenty years, earning his family tens of thousands of Gold Coins. This wealth allowed him to afford a thousand Samurai and soldiers, and his high martial prowess solidified his status as a renowned strongman in the entire southern borderland.

For his son’s wedding, Castle Lord Feng Bolie naturally sent out many invitations, hosting a continuous feast for several days and nights in the castle, where anyone could eat without having to give a wedding gift.

After entering, Suo Lun found the place packed with banquet tables. While it wasn’t exactly luxurious, there was no shortage of meat and fish dishes.

Without a second thought, Suo Lun took a seat at a table and started to feast heartily.

He had been starving these past few days. The Lion-Tiger Beast, Xiao Guai, was willing to share with him, but it was all raw meat. Even when Suo Lun cooked it over a fire, the lack of seasoning made it hard to swallow.

At this moment, Xiao Guai had gone hunting again, and Suo Lun had agreed to meet it by a lake a few miles away.

Suo Lun realized another great aspect of having a high spiritual gift is that bonding with wild beasts becomes much easier. Thus, over these last few days, his relationship with Xiao Guai had grown leaps and bounds.

Of course, he couldn’t rely on it in critical times, as the incident with Turing Duo had fully exposed the Lion-Tiger Beast’s brave exterior but timid heart.

After Suo Lun pierced Turing Duo with his sword, the Lion-Tiger Beast could have gone forward and bitten off her head, but instead, it chose to flee immediately.

He ate voraciously for a quarter of an hour, filling himself with chicken, duck, and fish until he was thoroughly satisfied.

Next, Suo Lun poured himself a cup of wine and leisurely sipped. The wine at the banquet wasn’t great, but it was passable.

As the evening wore on, the castle began to twinkle with festive lights.

More and more elegantly dressed people showed up, but they all entered the castle for the wedding feast, unlike Suo Lun and others who simply ate at the open-air banquet in the training field.

"Sigh, the feast inside the hall is truly exquisite, and the wine is fantastic," a man suddenly lamented.

"The outside banquet is free, having chicken, duck, and fish is already good, but to enter the castle? Can you afford it? Even if you could give a few Gold Coins as a wedding gift, you still need the status to enter," a wandering Samurai next to him sneered.

"Wow, look at that beauty that’s just arrived, she’s just too tall, and also flat-chested," suddenly exclaimed another wandering Samurai nearby.

Instantly, Suo Lun’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but steal a glance.

Wretched souls never rest, good people don’t live long, bad ones carry on forever!
