Pinching the nearly transparent Soul Ring, Yang Ling originally felt it wasn't enough and was preparing to have Stov exchange for another treasure. Unexpectedly, after unintentionally putting on the ring, he felt a familiar Wicked power fluctuation emitted from it.

  Ring with magical power?

  Out of curiosity, Yang Ling carefully injected a thread of witch power into it. Soon, the ring's surface flowed with a layer of crystal clear silver light and emitted a cool air that quickly circulated through his limbs. His spirit was refreshed, and he immediately felt more energetic.

  Could it be that this is the legendary wizard's treasure?!

  Recalling the records on Fang Jian Bei, Yang Ling's heart moved, and he was overjoyed. With a powerful treasure, his strength would greatly increase, and when facing top-notch experts like Tian Bang Sha Shou, if not winning with one move, at least he would have more chances to save his life.

  Such a treasure, it's worth more than 1 million purple crystal coins, let alone 100,000!

  Just as he was about to further study the unexpectedly obtained treasure, Stov strode over, "Yang Ling brothers, do you still have a good guest room?"

  Yī bǐ lì sī, zhè me kuài jiù kāi fáng?

  Translation: Yibilis, isn't it too early to open the house?

  Yang Ling shook his head, the relationship between these two men and women was indeed faster than a rocket. They didn't know each other just now, but after drinking a few mouthfuls of wine, they were ready to open a room. He wanted to tease them a bit, but when he looked up and saw the beautiful woman in black walking over, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

  Perhaps due to the wine, Meryl's pretty face was slightly flushed, her delicate skin tender and seemingly capable of squeezing out water, unintentionally exuding a more alluring charm, leaving John, the bartender, dry-mouthed. Even Yang Ling himself couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

  Unfortunately, she has other plans, a heart as venomous as a snake's. Otherwise, this woman would have made a delicious lover!

  After shaking his head, Yang Ling came back to himself and said calmly: "Lord, I'm sorry, but we don't plan on running a hourly hotel business for the time being!"

  Hourly hotel?

  Yang Ling said so, and the tipsy Stov was a bit confused, thinking for half a day without understanding what the clock room meant. Merile wanted to stay in Weisen Town for a while, he just wanted to please the beauty, and asked Yang Ling for a guest room.

  "Boss, the expansion of Shangri-La's villas is almost complete. We can rent one out first!"

  When Yang Ling bluntly refused, John couldn't help but interrupt and say something. However, it wasn't to give face to this Lord Stov, but rather in the hopes that the black-clothed beauty would stay at the inn and he could catch a glimpse of her lovely figure every day. Even if he couldn't get close to her, just being able to see her twice a day was a kind of enjoyment.

  A beauty is a beauty, indeed one of a kind!

  Look at John, whose eyeballs are about to fall off. Yang Ling shook his head. As the saying goes, a woman's body is her greatest asset. Now it seems that this is indeed true. Beautiful women have people fawning over them everywhere, and even John, who is normally cold and arrogant towards others, is no exception.

  "The other villas have been built, but they've all been booked. If we cancel the contract, we'll have to pay a large sum of crystal coins, milord. Otherwise, you can look elsewhere!" Yang Ling smiled apologetically and continued: "Even if someone is willing to give up their villa, the daily rent is 80 purple crystal coins. It's not worth it for one person to occupy a whole villa!"

  Yang Lingwen refused Stoff's request, the mysterious black-clad beauty was unpredictable and ruthless in her methods, he didn't want to keep a powerful time bomb by his side.

  80 amethyst coins per day?

  The crowd gasped in shock, and even John was no exception. He had not expected that the other institute would suddenly increase from 50 purple crystal coins per day to 80 purple crystal coins per day.

  "Yang Ling, brother, this price is outrageous. It's very unfavorable for the development of our territory! Although we are brothers, if you continue like this, I will also be in a difficult position!" Seeing people shaking their heads, Stoff was moved in his heart and put on the airs of a lord, trying to take advantage of the situation to suppress the detestable Yang Ling.

  After being severely beaten by Yang Ling, he gritted his teeth in hatred. If it weren't for considering the opponent's strength and family, if it weren't for wanting to maintain a so-called knightly demeanor in front of the black-clothed beauty, he would have long since ordered his personal soldiers to rush up. Now that he had encountered such a great opportunity to strike back, how could he bear to miss it?

  Sidorov deliberately showed off his lordly identity, and Yang Ling didn't need to think much to understand what he meant. Looking at Sidorov's evil ghost-like face, then looking at the black-clothed beauty behind him who was full of temptation in every gesture, he quickly thought of a counterattack plan.

  "My lord, this is a miscarriage of justice! These crystal coins were all handed over to you as taxes. I'm not even making a profit now, it's hard for me to operate!"

  Turn in all crystal coins to yourself?

  After Yang Ling said that, Stov patted his dizzy head and suddenly remembered the appointment he had made with him in Visen Castle. He realized that he had inadvertently kicked a stone and hit his own foot.

  As expected, once Yang Ling reminded them, people immediately remembered the triangular-eyed Miedhart who came to collect debts every day. They pointed and criticized, directing their anger at Stov, the vampire.

  "A single estate, and he's collecting dozens of purple crystal coins in taxes every day?" Meriles also shook her head unconsciously, looking at Stoff with incredulity as a tyrannical lord.

  It turned out that it caused Merile's suspicion and dissatisfaction, Stov was so embarrassed that he wanted to slap himself a few times. If this left a very bad impression on the black-clothed beauty, then all efforts would be in vain.

  What's wrong?

  Facing the seemingly dissatisfied Meryl, facing the pointing and whispering mercenaries and adventurers around him, Stoff was momentarily unable to get off the tiger's back. He wanted to maintain his so-called knightly demeanor in front of the beauty, but he couldn't bear to give up the crystal coins he had earned every day at Shangri-La.

  ******

  Let Yang Ling gloat for a few days first, and then let him spit it out twice when the reinforcements arrive!

  After a moment of hesitation, Stov gritted his teeth and said: "The most difficult time for our Visen Town has passed. To thank you all for your support, from today on, the tax on hotels like Shangri-La will be restored to normal levels, and only a few purple crystals will be collected every day as a token!"

  Has the rent returned to its original level?

  After the unexpected turn of events, the mercenaries and adventurers cheered and jumped for joy, admiring Yang Ling to the extreme. They had all witnessed the whole process, and if it weren't for Yang Ling's clever counterattack, hitting Stoff's weakness of not wanting to lose face in front of a beauty, this damn leader wouldn't have been so kind as to voluntarily lower the taxes!

  "Yang Ling brothers, now should have spare courtyard, right!" Looking at Yang Ling who made him suffer several times, Stoff gritted his teeth in hatred.

  "This, I'll go and discuss with the guests again to see if we can vacate another courtyard!" After getting an unexpected surprise, Yang Ling's smile became even brighter.

  Damn it, has Yang Ling lost interest in women?

  Seeing Yang Ling not only immune to her charm, but also repeatedly refusing her request to stay in the store, Meryl couldn't help but doubt her own charm for the first time. In all these years, she had never met a man who was so indifferent to her.

  However, after a closer look, she saw that Yang Ling would occasionally steal glances at his own towering chest, just like other men, and she immediately overturned her groundless conjecture.

  It seems that Yang Ling is not uninterested in women, but rather particularly fond of saving face. Over the years, she has seen many men who put on a good show in public, but are actually complete perverts in private. They would call out "my dear" while at the same time wanting to rip off their own clothes.

  Meryl believed that as long as she stayed in Shangri-La, she would eventually have the opportunity to be alone with Yang Ling. After a moment of contemplation, she came up with an idea and was convinced that when the time came, Yang Ling would reveal his true form and fall head over heels for her pomegranate skirt.

  Everything has two sides, there is a bad side and also a good side!

  Merryls settled in Shangri-La, which was equivalent to burying a time bomb by her side, but at the same time, Yang Ling also found that the tavern's business became more prosperous.

  Idle mercenaries and adventurers spend their days drinking and bragging in the tavern, waiting for the appearance of the ultimate beauty, Meril. It seems that even if they can't get a taste of her, just looking at her is a pleasure. The more they drink, the more crystal coins are spent, making the accountant, Mulberich, extremely happy.

  Every time, Meryl's appearance, full of temptation in every gesture, attracted people's attention. Naked eyes like knives swept back and forth on her key parts. If thinking about it is also a sin, then all the mercenaries and adventurers would be enough to be shot ten thousand times.

  The mercenaries spent their days lounging in the tavern, and Stoff, as the lord, often came uninvited. He stuck to Meriel's side all day like a fly, pouring tea and water, fawning over her with excessive courtesy, every inch the lecherous young nobleman.

  Looking at his restless appearance, if it weren't for the fact that there were many things he had to deal with personally, he would probably be delighted to open a room at the Shangri-La Hotel and stay by Meryl's side day and night.
