Chapter 594: 301: Goodbye Zhi Yan! Princess of Demon State!

Hearing Ashi Liren’s question, Princess Zhi Yan fell silent for a moment before saying, "Huai Bingyi makes me feel like I’m basking in the spring breeze, natural in body and mind. Suo Lun, on the other hand, makes my heart race."

"Thrilling..." said Ashi Liren.

"Yes, thrilling!" Zhi Yan continued: "By Suo Lun’s side, you never know what the next moment might bring."

Ashi Liren said, "So, by Huai Bingyi’s side, you feel safe and happy, as if you do not notice the passage of time."

Zhi Yan thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Right."

Ashi Liren said, "Both men are among the finest in the world. In terms of grace and status, Huai Bingyi is a bit higher."

Princess Zhi Yan laughed and said, "Sister Liren, I know what you’re worried about. Rest assured, it will never happen."

Ashi Liren replied, "That’s good to hear! Remember, I will always stand on Suo Lun’s side."

Princess Zhi Yan smiled, "So will I!"

...

The next day, Ashi Liren was to return to Rouran City and bid farewell to Suo Lun.

The great battle of Rouran City had just ended, and as its City Lord, she really should not leave. In order to make a public statement, to give an explanation to Suo Lun, Liren capriciously left Rouran City. After staying one day, and having explained everything, she naturally needed to return immediately.

"Suo Lun, I must go back today," Liren said, accustomed to turning her back on him.

In this way, although Suo Lun could not see her ice-cold and stunning face, he could still see the incredibly alluring curves of her waist and hips, which left one breathless.

"Why aren’t you wearing your mask?" Suo Lun finally asked the question.

Ashi Liren replied, "Because I’ve found a man who stirs my heart."

Her words were direct and bold, but if Suo Lun dared to touch her even with a fingertip right now, he would assure himself a broken limb.

Suo Lun asked, "Do you have enough money in your house?"

Ashi Liren replied, "Yes, among the lords of the world, my family is one of the wealthiest. Recruiting soldiers and buying horses will be no problem. How many men and horses do you want to recruit?"

Suo Lun said, "One hundred and fifty thousand, with as many cavalry as possible!"

Ashi Liren thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Then the money is enough, but if we want absolutely elite forces, there won’t be enough time to make the weapons and armor, we’ll have to buy them."

Suo Lun said, "If the money isn’t enough, ask me for it."

By now, the productivity of the Chaos Stone Island Salt Fields had multiplied beyond measure, generating nearly twenty thousand Gold Coins each month.

Moreover, a few months ago, the Magic Mirror had begun to officially enter the market.

Just as Suo Lun had predicted, within a few short months, the Magic Mirror had swept across the entire Human Kingdom.

At present, it is still in a state of frenzied sales, with only a few hundred mirrors entering the market each month, a complete luxury item only owned by the top-tier noble families of the Human Kingdom.

Moreover, the price of each mirror had skyrocketed to the heavens, completely beyond reason and market range.

Therefore, the monthly profits from the Magic Mirror had begun to surpass those from the Chaos Stone Island Salt Fields.

With these two vast sources of wealth, Tianshui City was raking in over fifty thousand Gold Coins a month, far surpassing all the other lords.

In recent months, under the leadership of Princess Zhi Yan, Yan Nai’er, and Yan Yan, Tianshui City had been recruiting soldiers and buying horses every day, offering irresistibly generous conditions.

Hence, mercenaries and wandering Samurai from the Human Kingdom were continuously entering Tianshui City.

A few months from now, Tianshui City would have an army exceeding fifty thousand strong, and within a year it could have one hundred thousand troops.

But, the problem he faced was the same as Rouran City: a shortage of weapons, armor, and horses.

The entire Human Kingdom was deficient in minerals, so there has always been a great shortage of weapons and armor. In the Barbarian Domain, mineral deposits are abundant, but no one dares to mine there.

Even if one were to manufacture their own weapons, it would be hard to surpass Ba Zhou.

A significant portion of Suo Lun’s secret base laboratory had been devoted to metal smelting, investing thousands of Gold Coins each month. Furthermore, he had dispatched numerous people to explore for mines.

However, so far, the yield was not significant.

The iron required to make weapons was extremely scarce throughout the Human Kingdom.

Not to mention the Mithril Mine necessary for crafting high-quality weapons and armor.

One wonders where Ba Zhou found so many mineral deposits, as it controls all the metal and Mithril production of the entire Human Kingdom, along with all the armor and weapons. As long as Ba Zhou is willing to sell, countless weapons and armors would continue to emerge inexhaustibly.

So, as long as one has Ba Zhou’s support, they could equip as many troops as desired.

"I do not know when we will meet again after this farewell," Ashi Liren said, her beautiful eyes fixed on Suo Lun. Suddenly, her cheeks turned serious, and she said in a chilling voice, "Stand properly, place your hands on your legs, and don’t move."

Suo Lun stood as a middle school student would before calisthenics, legs together and hands hanging straight down, completely still.

Liren’s stunningly beautiful body stepped forward and gently embraced Suo Lun. Her soft, elastic fragrance was enchanting. Then, she slightly puckered her petal-like, transparent lips and kissed Suo Lun on the mouth.

The kiss was like jelly, cool and charming.

"Be careful, little man. Don’t die before we see who wins the war between us," Liren said tenderly.

Her voice and her eyes were as gentle as they had never been before.

Faced with Liren like this, Suo Lun was truly somewhat dazzled and bewildered.

Then, although Liren was pure as jade and had never touched a man, she actually understood everything.

When a peerless beauty, cold as ice and full of tyranny, spoke in a very serious tone, uttering words of rascal teasing, she was truly enchanting, making one’s heart race.
