Let them live with that regret for the rest of their lives!

After the two sisters left the carriage, Elise had Wendy's clone sit by the window, then opened the window a crack and let the clone stick out a finger.

As the train starts moving, at regular intervals, Wendy's clones automatically release an insect egg through their fingertips.

After arranging everything, Elise lazily sat on the sofa. The luxurious carriage would provide passengers with complimentary drinks from all over the empire, although they were not very expensive, but at least they could taste different flavors.

Elise was full of energy today, and the journey wasn't long; the train arrived in Tisk in just over two hours.

Tisk is one of the Empire's main cities, located in the southeast of the Empire, and it is also the closest main city to the territory of Noys.

After arriving in Tisk, it takes about two hours by carriage to reach the territory of Noys.

Because the territory of Nois is developing very well, there are quite a few caravans going there.

However, Elise did not follow the caravan, but went directly to Tisk's family business guild.

Upon learning of Elise's return, the guild manager immediately arranged for several luxurious carriages, along with numerous guards, to escort her.

The luxurious carriage is equipped with shock-absorbing magic devices, making it very comfortable to ride in; of course, such carriages are not cheap.

"It feels so grand," Flora whispered to her sister, looking out the window at the guards surrounding the carriage.

"After all, she's the young lady and the only heir, so it's normal." Elena, who had seen many grand occasions while following Elise, wasn't particularly surprised. Right now, she just wanted to get there as soon as possible and get some rest.

Next time, no matter if Elise is being coquettish or acting cute, I absolutely cannot let her use her succubus form to have a deep conversation with me, even if the pleasure Elise in her succubus form brings me is unparalleled.

Approximately two hours later, Elise's entourage arrived at Lord 4's manor.

As soon as Elise got out of the car, she saw her elderly father standing at the door, quietly watching her.

"You're back."

"Yes, the academy is on holiday, so I came back for a visit and brought some friends along."

Hearing Elise's words, a look of relief flashed in Byron's eyes. He knew his daughter's personality; it was indeed a rare thing for her to make friends, and not just one or two.

"I'll have someone make arrangements. I've already had your room prepared. Go back and rest for a while. I've also asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes."

"Ok."

Elise's room here is much larger and more luxurious than her room in Celia.

Back in her room, Elise looked around and a hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes.

She remembered that when she first transmigrated here, she lived here for a long time to escape the protagonists' pursuit.

At that time, she chose to escape, locking herself in this place until the manor was set on fire, until the stern-faced middle-aged man died in front of her.

Since then, she hasn't really come back to live here regularly.

Noticing that her mistress seemed a little melancholy, her personal maid, Misha, asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing. Xiaomi Xia, you grew up here too. It's rare for you to come back, so take a good rest. You've worked hard these past few days."

"By the way, you can tell me if there's anything you want. I'll do my best to fulfill your request if it's within my power."

"Really?" Misha asked instinctively, but she quickly corrected herself, "No, I mean, this is what I should do, Miss, you don't need to do this."

"Alright, you know, if you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you'll get another chance."

"Then, miss, could you give me a hug?"

Elise reached out and hugged the little maid, gently stroking her soft hair: "Actually, Xiaomi Xia can be a little greedy sometimes."

"I'm already very content to be by your side, Miss." The little maid snuggled against her mistress, the familiar feeling and scent making her reluctant to let go.

Elise didn't urge her; it was rest time anyway, so she let the little maid be willful for a while.

This time, the little maid was a bit greedy, staying in her mistress's arms for a full five minutes, which was really inappropriate for a maid.

However, as Miss just said, she can be a little greedy.

Seeing the little maid leave her embrace, Elise asked softly, "Is that enough?"

"Mmm!" The little maid nodded gently, worried that if they continued, she wouldn't be able to let go.

Since Elise and her party arrived at the manor close to noon, they rested briefly before lunchtime.

Knowing that Elise was coming back, Count Byron prepared a very lavish meal, all of which were Elise's favorite dishes.

Byron felt that his daughter had changed a lot since he last saw her. She no longer had that domineering attitude and looked much more composed.

After the meal, Count Byron also called his daughter to his study.

"Father, what brings you here?"

"I heard that you did well on your final exams and even became part of the college's exchange program."

"Yes, thanks to your gold coins, otherwise I might not have been selected."

Earl Byron's usually stern face showed a rare hint of a smile, clearly satisfied with his daughter's answer: "I've inquired around, and the academy exchange isn't exactly a harmonious affair. There might be danger involved. If you encounter an opponent too powerful to defeat, don't try to tough it out, understand?"

"Father, please don't worry. You know I'm very afraid of pain."

“As you know, I am a warrior and don’t know much about magical artifacts.” Count Byron said, then took out a card and handed it to his daughter. “There are 50,000 gold coins in here. Use them to buy some magical artifacts. If you need more, I have more.”

He had previously heard that his daughter's fighting style could be described as throwing gold coins at people, and he was quite satisfied with that description.

The point of a battle is to leverage one's own strengths, and having money is one of his daughter's advantages. He was very satisfied that she could make good use of it, and then gave her a sum of pocket money.

Elise did not refuse the gold coins that her old man had given her.

If he refused, he might start to worry again, so Elise simply accepted the card and said, "This afternoon I plan to take my friends around, and tomorrow I'll take them hunting in the forest."

"Okay, then take good care of your friends. If you need any help from me, come to me."

"Okay, Father."

……

In the afternoon, Elise led everyone on a tour of the city.

Although it can't compare to the main city, it's quite developed and has a rich surrounding area, making it much more lively than a typical small town.

While leading the group on a tour, Elise also had Wendy's clone establish insect nests in the surrounding area.

As long as there is an insect nest, you can know what happens immediately and provide support as soon as possible.

Wendy has been busy collecting materials lately, so she has been projecting her consciousness here less often and for less time. Elise also projected her consciousness over to check the situation, and so far there are no problems.

It's just that she's been busy with a lot of things. Once the Church of the Earth Goddess has firmly established itself in the Principality of Claire, Wendy will have more free time.

"The development here is quite good," Vivian said, looking at the bustling scene.

鹨虾^九务岜笼~孝陵吾峮

“Yes, after all, the lord is rich.” Elise chuckled, then continued, “What about the business deal I mentioned to you before? What have you thought about?”

The business Elise was referring to was, of course, Flora's dress-up ring. Although Elise could find a suitable candidate herself, it would be better to hand it over to Vivian directly, since Vivian, who wanted to break away from the Empire, would definitely lack funds.

Keep in mind that the costume ring is Flora's first product, and she will definitely continue to produce other products in the future, so making a fortune is not a problem.

"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it when we get back."

Vivian could certainly see the potential of the costume ring, and she could also tell that Elise knew she would definitely lack funds at that time, so she was making preparations in advance.

In fact, Vivian was not short of gold coins, but her main source of funds came from the powerful nobles who were on her side. She had been worried about how to get a large sum of money, but Elise gave her such a surprise.

It's worth noting that in this transaction, Elise gave her all the profits, while Elise herself didn't take a single gold coin.

"You just gave me your share like that?"

“Yeah, I’m not short of money anyway. If I really need it, I can just ask you for it, and you can’t refuse me, can you?” Elise leaned down slightly and whispered in Vivian’s ear.

Vivian could feel that the wicked woman breathing into her ear again.

Seeing Vivian's expressionless face but her ears turning red, Elise covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her laughter full of pleasure.

Bullying Vivian is indeed a very interesting thing.

Afterwards, the two briefly discussed the details of the business until the others returned from their stroll.

As dusk approached, Elise said calmly, "Let's go back. Tomorrow I'll take you hunting in the forest and to a fishing spot."

At this point, Elise glanced at Elena silently, her gaze carrying a meaningful meaning.

Elena silently avoided eye contact with Elise. The first two times she went fishing with Elise, Elise had managed to cheat in some way. She hoped that her luck wouldn't be too bad this time.

But then again, since my sister is also in the 4th month, why don't I ask her to help me improve my fishing rod tonight?

Noticing her sister's gaze, Flora asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor when I get home tonight."

"Oh."

Since her sister had said she would be back that evening, Flora didn't ask any questions now.

Volume 1: Chapter 209 Putting the hook into the fish's mouth

Early the next morning, Elise and the others were already prepared to enter the forest.

Earl Byron was still somewhat worried, after all, some time ago someone had discovered traces of giant-toothed boars in the forest.

It was a fifth-tier magical beast, and it preferred to live in groups.

Seeing Count Byron's hesitant look, Elise smiled and said, "Don't worry, your daughter has prepared quite a few magical artifacts. Facing a fifth-tier opponent won't be a problem. Besides, I have sixth-tier friends among my friends, so you don't need to worry."

Hearing his daughter say this, Earl Byron could only nod and say, "Alright then, be careful. If you encounter anything you can't handle, find a way to get away as soon as possible."

"Ah."

In fact, the Giant-Toothed Boar was one of Elise's targets when she entered the forest. Giant-Toothed Boar meat is a rare ingredient, and a group of Giant-Toothed Boars could provide her with a lot of good stuff.

Of course, Elise couldn't tell her father about this, so she repeatedly assured him that there would be no problem before setting off with her people.

Although Vivian was still in a wheelchair, it was a specially customized magical device that allowed her to traverse even places like the forest with ease, much more easily than someone walking.

This forest is the largest and most dangerous forest near Noys territory, so most people only stay on the outskirts of the forest to collect alchemical materials or hunt low-level monsters.

But that's only true for ordinary people. It's different for Elise. She knows everything about this forest, so she has absolutely no scruples.

Upon entering the forest, Elise had Wendy's clone release a large number of butterflies.

Searching for the Giant-Toothed Boar based on its tracks would be far too troublesome; it would be much faster and more convenient to use the power of insects.

After releasing the butterflies, Elise skillfully led everyone through the forest.

Before long, the group arrived at a small lake.

"We've arrived. Anyone who wants to fish can go fishing, and anyone who wants to play in the water can go swimming," Elise said, taking out a swimsuit and moving closer to Vivian.

Vivian knew what Elise was planning just by looking at what she was holding.

Before Elise could even speak, Vivian had already taken the swimsuit from Elise's hand and, with the help of Elise's changing ring, instantly changed her clothes.

The series of actions left Elise momentarily speechless. She had been thinking of persuading Vivian to change into her swimsuit, but the other woman's initiative left her speechless.

Not only Elise, but also Vivian's personal maid were all shocked. She hadn't expected her mistress to actually put on a swimsuit.

You know, from the time she started serving her mistress until now, she has never seen her mistress wear a swimsuit.

As expected, the relationship between my young lady and Miss Elise is definitely not as simple as just being good friends!

Seeing Vivian in her swimsuit, Elise's eyes flashed with amazement. It was the first time she had ever seen Vivian in a swimsuit; before, when she offered her one, Vivian had completely ignored it.

Then Elise gave Flora a swimsuit.

Flora wasn't planning on changing, but seeing that everyone else had already changed, she felt bad if she didn't, so she gritted her teeth and found a place to change.

Flora, as Elena's younger sister, has a pretty good figure, and her shy demeanor only makes Elise feel an urge to tease her.

But considering Elena's presence, Elise only thought about it and didn't take any action.

Looking at Elena, she was already ready to go fishing. The fishing rod she was holding was one that her sister had modified the night before.

She can manipulate the fishhook with her mental power, not only sensing the underwater situation but also actively putting the fishhook into the fish's mouth.

To reiterate, she was definitely not trying to take shortcuts; she was simply exercising her mental strength while fishing.

After finding a suitable reason for herself, Elena cast her line and manipulated the hook to actively seek out a fish nearby, catching it directly.

Looking at the golden fish she had just caught, Elena nodded in satisfaction.

Golden fish is not a rare ingredient, but it is extremely delicious and has few bones, making it popular with many people.
