I just covet their strength

Chapter 126 Warning
Oris has been in a very good mood recently, or rather, he has always thought that his life is like the protagonist in a drama or novel.

Born in a border area, he inherited the position of city lord after his father's death. He seized the opportunity when Qinghui Territory was destroyed by the chaos wave and absorbed enough high-quality population in one fell swoop.

By building workshops and constructing high-rise buildings, in just two years, Baiyan City's development speed has been equivalent to that of the past twenty years. It is now almost complete the last step and will officially upgrade the pioneering territory to the imperial territory.

By then, he will become the youngest official lord of the empire, with his own inherited family line. Oris doesn't even want to return to the Golden Iris family, but is ambitious to set up his own business.

With his abilities, he will surely create a new world on the border. Perhaps hundreds of years later, his deeds will still be told by future generations!

In addition to this sense of mission, Oris feels that another reason why he is the protagonist is his excellent relationship with the opposite sex.

It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but Oris feels that he is always surrounded by all kinds of beauties, to the point of being a little distressed.

His doting sister and adoring younger sister are as sexy and cute as they can be and each has their own talents. They are a close-knit family who help him govern Baiyan City.

According to the unspoken rules within the imperial aristocracy, family members are allowed to marry each other.

And the maid guard who grew up with him as a childhood sweetheart has already fallen in love with him.

But the person Oris loved most was indeed his fiancée. That cold and mysterious girl not only had a background that could help his family, but also made Oris fall in love with her at first sight.

"As long as we can handle this matter now, the upgrading of Baiyan City is inevitable. Then we can ask our family for help. No, it's better to seek help from Liliana. I'll talk to her next time."

Oris walked in the courtyard of the mansion while thinking about his next plan.

After thinking for a moment, the Lord of Baiyan City asked his childhood sweetheart maid who was serving him:

"Has Lord Qinghui made any moves in the past two days?"

Malin immediately said, "Lord Qinghui didn't stay in the hotel for long. As soon as he returned, he started to move around, seemingly visiting and inviting people everywhere."

"Heh, are you planning to destroy Baiyan City from within? Lord Qinghui is a little too naive. The border is not as complicated as the imperial capital. Those who occupy important positions in the city are all my close confidants. Could he possibly incite my sisters and fiancée to rebel?"

"Lord Qinghui seems to really have this intention."

Marlene continued, "In the early hours of this morning, he went to see Lady Jocelyn, saying that he wanted to learn martial arts and hone his swordsmanship."

Oris sneered and shook his head, "Want to compete with my sister? He is simply asking for trouble. How can a lord class compete with a combat specialist class? I'm sure Lord Qinghui must be furious."

Oris had full confidence in his sister and had no doubt that she would teach Lord Qinghui a lesson. The handsome young city lord began to look forward to sister Jocelyn's description of how she had gained the upper hand in the sword-fighting competition.

However, even at noon, he did not see his sister again, which made Oris a little confused. In the past, no matter how busy she was at work, Jocelyn would go home for dinner and would never miss lunch with her family.

But fortunately, Jocelyn returned in time for dinner.

It’s just that the tall and cold Yujie looks a little bit bad:
She was still wearing the expensive, exquisite, gorgeous swordsman's uniform that highlighted her voluptuous figure, but the soft fabric was full of wrinkles and soaked with sweet sweat.

The same goes for her long, smooth brown-gold hair, which looks a bit sticky as if it has been soaked in sweat for a long time.

There was an abnormal blush on her snow-white skin, but there was also a bright and charming temperament.

Jocelyn held onto the wall and walked slowly. Her slender, round thighs trembled slightly and she almost stumbled and fell to the ground several times.

It looked like he had used up all his strength just to walk.

"elder sister?!"

Oris stepped forward quickly:
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so tired? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Oris"

Seeing her brother's worried expression, Jocelyn's delicate face showed a trance, but then she shook her head and said:
"Don't worry, I'm just a little exhausted."

"Exhausted?"

This almost never happens to extraordinary people unless they encounter a battle of extremely high intensity.

Oris immediately said:

"Have you been sparring with Lord Qinghui for the entire day?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Oris noticed that his sister's heroic and beautiful face showed a strong sense of shame. Jocelyn bit her lip, turned her face away and nodded:
"I am no match for him at all."

The handsome young man frowned slightly:

"I heard that Lord Qinghui had made achievements in the imperial capital that even the God Ancestor admired him. I originally thought that it was all due to his wisdom, but I didn't expect that his own martial arts were so solid. I underestimated him."

"Sister, don't be ashamed. It's not shameful to lose to Lord Qinghui. This is just a competition, and he doesn't dare to really fight."

While comforting his sister, Oris reached out to support Jocelyn.

However, just as he touched the back of the tall beauty's hand, Jocelyn pushed him away:

"Do not touch me!"

"!!!"

Oris looked at his sister in surprise at her overreacting sister.

Qiao Selin also reacted immediately and apologized quickly:
"I'm sorry, I just don't want to be helped."

Yes, the elder sister is such an independent and strong person, she doesn’t want her younger brother to see her weak side.

After a little thought, Oris understood the reason and suddenly realized it.

So he stopped offering his hand to his sister and gently led Jocelyn to the dining table.

"It's okay, let's eat. We'll have your favorite vegetable salad and corn soup tonight."

"Ah."

Jocelyn nodded slightly and slowly moved to the dining room. After sitting down, she looked at the thick and bright milky white salad dressing on the green vegetables. As if she remembered something, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

The brown-blond swordsman beauty covered her mouth, retched twice, and then waved her hands and said:

"I'm not going to have dinner."

"Why? These are your favorites. You are exhausted, so you should eat something."

Oris asked in confusion.

Qiao Selin bit her lower lip tightly, gently massaged her flat belly with one hand, and said:
"Before going home, I had already eaten a lot and now I don't have much appetite."

"Oh, I see. Then Sister, please get some rest as soon as possible."

Oris said with concern, telling Marlene to take Jocelyn back to the room, leaving him alone in the dining room.

The handsome young lord frowned as he ate in silence.

My sister was a little weird today. She looked like she was completely ravaged and fragile.

Even if her strength is not as good as Lord Qinghui's, there shouldn't be a huge gap between people of the same rank. What's more, her sister is definitely not a mediocre person.

It is hard to imagine how fierce the whole day's battle must have been to make the heroic, confident and bright sister Jocelyn willingly admit defeat.

But it doesn’t matter. This time, just consider it as a victory for Lord Qinghui. However, this little trick cannot make up for the opponent’s disadvantage. The initiative is still in my hands!

However, in the early morning of the next day, Oris saw his sister, who was full of energy and radiant after a night's rest, ready to go out.

"I'm going to go and learn sword skills from Lord Qinghui."

Jocelyn said: "The previous failure was shameful, I must make a comeback!"

Oris hesitated and said, "Actually, you don't need to do this if Lord Qinghui is really that strong."

"No! I must go. I...anyway, I must go."

The tall and cold swordsman beauty seemed to be hesitant to speak. Her expression did not suggest that she wanted to avenge her previous humiliation, but rather that she was looking forward to something immensely.

Are you looking forward to a hearty swordplay exchange? Oris shook his head vigorously, feeling that he didn't know much about his sister. He knew that his sister had a strong personality, but he didn't expect her to be so competitive.

"Then I wish my sister a successful start."

The handsome young lord bid farewell to his sister and continued to devote himself to his work.

In the afternoon, just when Oris was concentrating on his work, he heard light footsteps from behind him, and then a youthful figure pounced on his back, covering his eyes with his small hands.

"Dududu, guess who I am?!"

"My lovely sister, of course!"

Oris immediately grasped the visitor's wrist and turned around, and what came into view was the expected pure and innocent face.

"Wrong! She is the sister who loves her brother the most!"

The lovely girl took two steps back and presented her carefully dressed outfit to Oris.

The girl was wearing an exquisite and gorgeous blue and white dress. Her lively eyes seemed to be filled with a smile, and her cute twin ponytails swayed along with her dress.

"Davry, aren't you and your mother working on the expansion project on the outskirts of the city?"

"Most of the work has been completed, so I felt bored and came back first. I missed the desserts here, and of course I missed my brother even more!"

Oris touched his sister's head and smiled:

"Okay, I'll go eat dessert with you later, but you have to finish the work at hand first. It will be quick, so you can go to the store and wait."

"Well, then brother, please come quickly!"

Davry nodded obediently, then skipped out the door without bothering her brother anymore.

The arrival of his lovely sister made Oris wipe away the slight worry that was weighing on his heart. After finishing the work at hand, he got up and went to a dessert shop near the mansion.

However, when he arrived at the dessert shop, Oris found that his sister was already chatting with someone else.

The handsome young man sitting opposite the youthful girl was none other than Lord Qinghui.

At this time, Lord Qinghui seemed to be talking to Davli, causing the latter's eyes to flicker and exclaim in amazement.

When Oris approached, he heard that they seemed to be discussing something related to dessert.

"Oh, really?"

"Oh, of course. I know the most advanced dessert making methods in the imperial capital, which will definitely open your eyes."

"I don't believe it. It's just a cream puff. What's so special about it?"

"That's different. The most important thing about cream puffs is the cream poured into them. The flavor of this dessert depends entirely on the sweetness of the cream filling. I happened to have brought special fillings from the imperial capital. If Miss Davry wants, I can prepare it for you. I have some experience in making cream puffs."

Davli bit her finger and said, "In that case, ah, brother."

The innocent and lovely girl with twin ponytails stood up, ran over and took Oris' arm.

"Sorry, this is your brother and sister's party, I won't disturb you."

Noticing Oris approaching, Westhead stopped the conversation, smiled gracefully, stood up and wanted to leave.

"Wait a moment, Lord Qinghui."

Oris said, "Where's my sister? Didn't she come to you this morning to practice martial arts?"

"Miss Jocelyn?"

A subtle smile appeared on Westhead's face, which was so handsome that it annoyed Oris. Lord Qinghui stroked his chin and said:
"The competition is over. I don't want to be too rude, but your sister seems to be addicted to being weak. We had a very enjoyable competition yesterday. Although she had no chance to fight back from the beginning, she was able to use her willpower to hold on and not admit defeat. I admire her very much."

"But today, within a quarter of an hour, he knelt down and begged for mercy. It was really boring. It was as if he came here just to wag his tail and beg for mercy from me."

Oris was furious: "Bullshit! How could my sister beg for mercy from you!"

Westhead: "Then there is no such thing. Just treat it as my nonsense."

The black-haired and purple-eyed head of the Qinghui family did not argue with the Lord of Baiyan City at all. He waved his hand and left.

Oris watched Westhead leave and enjoyed afternoon tea with his sister, but he was always a little absent-minded.

Sister Jocelyn. Would the beautiful, strong and awe-inspiring sister really kneel down and beg for mercy from Lord Qinghui? Although he was sure that the other party was just trash-talking him, Oris couldn't help but imagine that scene.

Damn it! You can’t even think about it! You can’t even think about it!

"Brother! Really, why don't you even look at me?"

Davry shook Oris's arm and pouted her cheeks.

"If you don't like having afternoon tea with me, then I'll go find Lord Qinghui. He can make special cream puffs that are only available in the imperial capital. I want to try them."

Oris waved his hand: "Then go ahead, you are just a greedy cat anyway."

"Ha! What's with your perfunctory attitude? I'll go right now! I'll piss you off to death!"

Davry snorted softly, tossed her twin ponytails, and left the dessert shop.

Oris was not surprised by this. His sister always switched between being well-behaved and naughty. This was the nature of a girl with a fickle personality.

Because of Westhead's words, the afternoon tea time between the brother and sister did not make Oris as warm and happy as he had imagined, but instead added a sense of heaviness.

"Marlene!"

After returning to the city lord's mansion, Oris immediately called his maid, who was also his confidant in charge of the Baiyan City intelligence system.

"Master, do you have any orders?"

Oris said to the pretty maid with long chestnut hair:
"Go and investigate Lord Qinghui's whereabouts. I want to know what he is doing. You go in person. I don't trust the level and loyalty of others."

"Yes, Master."

The maid, who was taciturn but extremely loyal to Oris, obeyed the order and slowly retreated.

He has great trust in this handsome young lord who is his childhood sweetheart and who loves him.

But after just one day and one night of this investigation, the maid guard who reported to him every day lost contact with him for the first time.

However, Oris's worries did not last long. Late at night on the second day, when he was tossing and turning in bed, a gust of wind blew through the curtains, and then a familiar figure stood in the corner of the room.

"Lord City Lord."

"Marin! Why did you come back now?"

Oris stood up quickly.

"I'm sorry, but investigating Lord Qinghui's whereabouts took a lot of time and effort, so I was unable to report to you in time."

The young lord wanted to blame him, but considering that the other party was working hard according to his orders, he softened his tone:

"Forget it, what's the result?"

"After my, um, in-depth investigation, there is nothing suspicious about Lord Qinghui."

Oris pressed, "Are you sure?"

Under the bright moonlight, the handsome boy discovered that a strange blush seemed to appear on Marlene's pretty face.

But before he could take a closer look, the trusted maid lowered her head:
".I am sure."
