NOVEL NEXT Chapter 309: 309 - Margareth
The valley of Eagle's Peak was, as its name implied, in a deep, verdant valley between two mountains, ending with direct access to the ocean that divided that world in two.
In the center of this valley, or to be more specific, of the city that stretched from the beach docks to the depths of the valley, there was a huge peak, rising just over five hundred meters high and sheltering hundreds of eagles' nests.
That's where this place got its name from.
Qingyi was honestly still a little confused as to why Meilin thought this was a good place.
It shouldn't have had more than thirty thousand inhabitants in total, a tiny city by the standards of this cultivation world.
Its walls were short, its streets shabby and its armies made up almost entirely of strange foreigners.
Plus, of course, the enormous crime rate, with those damned pirates terrorizing both sea and land routes.
"I know what you're thinking, none of that matters to me. The only thing that matters is that we're out of my brother's sight.
My father even used to say that, like him, I can turn even a lump of coal into gold, hehehe." Meilin replied, looking excited to get to work and have her revenge on her brother.
"Please follow us." The lead knight's voice echoed as he left his horse, nodding to Qingyi. "Miss Margareth will hear you."
They had stopped in front of a huge mansion, next to a cathedral and apparently the residence of the lord of the city.
"Right." Qingyi got out of the carriage, entered the large mansion and passed through the luxurious corridors.
He hadn't expected much from this brief visit, but this lack of expectation changed the moment they opened the door that led to the city lord's office.
Large, firm breasts, not much inferior to Feiyan's in size, adorned a tall, slender body, her thick, toned thighs revealed beneath side slits in her elegant red dress.
She was floating gently above her chair, as if she were lying on an invisible armchair, her huge boobs swaying with the gentle up and down movement of her body.
Her beautiful face turned slightly, staring at Qingyi, a small but powerful pulse of mana studying him for a brief moment, her eyes scanning his entire body, stopping on his masculine and beautiful face.
Ignoring Margareth's gaze, Qingyi took a peek at her information screen.

Yes... she was gold.
Even if her beauty wasn't on the same level, she was still an incomparable beauty and, considering only her potential to earn lust points, she was even better than Meilin.
Sixth ring, comparable to a cultivator of the enlightened soul realm and having the trait of repressed desires.
She was a walking lust point mine!
"Qingyi, you need to try to get permission for us to settle here," Jin Meilin spoke into Qingyi's mind, who just nodded.
Well, now that he had truly noble reasons for staying here, beyond simply setting up a new chamber of commerce, it was obvious that he would do his best to get this permission.
"My Lady, this young man has just been attacked by those damned pirates, I brought him here immediately," the knight declared.
"Right." Margareth nodded, closing the book and dropping to the floor.
A soft pink spread lightly across her beautiful, mature face. "I'm Margareth, you are?"
"Long Qingyi, greetings, My Lady." Qingyi bowed respectfully, but Margareth stopped him by grabbing his shoulders.
"No need to bow," She spoke, a smile spreading across her plump, red-painted lips, a strange tingle spreading through her body as she touched Qingyi's shoulders.
She pulled back immediately, blushing softly.
"Please give us your testimony. Which pirates attacked you, what were they like?" She asked, regaining her composure.
"Well-" Qingyi opened his mouth to speak, but didn't even finish his first word before he was interrupted by a panting figure coming through the door.
It was a soldier, his body covered in bruises.
"My lady, we've discovered the current hiding place of those damned pirates!" The soldier declared before collapsing onto his knees, exhausted.
"They're in a cave five hours' ride north, we've seen several ships and hundreds of pirates, we're pretty sure they're the ones terrorizing our lands!"
"Sons of bitches... they're finally going to learn not to fuck with me."
Margareth's calm composure broke, a curse echoing from her lips and drawing wide-eyed looks from all her subordinates.
There was a statue of Auranys there, swearing in front of Auranys was a grave sin.
"Cough... cough..." Margareth looked away shamefully before focusing on the knight who had brought Qingyi there.
"What are you waiting for? Gather the soldiers! We'll attack now!" She spoke, and without hesitation, the knight obeyed.
Ignoring Qingyi, the mage walked over to her desk, looking at a map.
The cave the soldier had mentioned wasn't there, but she had an idea of where it might be.
Watching her, Qingyi hesitated for a brief moment before sighing.
"Lady Margareth, I'm not exactly a warrior of profound cultivation, but I'd like to accompany you and your soldiers. I have some experience dealing with this type of bandit," he said.
He needed a way to win a favor from that woman, maybe even an opportunity to earn some lust points.
This was honestly the perfect opportunity for him.
"Hm..." Margareth seemed to think for a brief moment before replying: "All right, just don't cause any trouble."
Qingyi was just a stranger, but honestly, she was short of troops.
Every sword counted.
"Thank you very much, Lady Margareth." Qingyi bowed, observing the blush on her cheeks.
Since she was so powerful, she felt much less of an effect from Qingyi's lineage, but it was still enough to at least provoke her a little.
Looking at her status screen one last time, he smiled.
'Too tight... I wonder how tight she is to receive such a trait...' Qingyi thought to himself.
He wanted to find out.
