The blue street of Albert City was the second most crowded street in the city. The reason was quite simple, the way toward union street, which was also where the Magic Union Square was located, was connected with it, and anyone who wanted to go to the magic union branch needed to pass through it.


    That''s why this area was a veryvish business area, and all kinds of shops were opened here, and they were top quality shops.


    Between these busy shops, there was a vacant shop in the middle of blue street. But today, four people made their way toward it, and they were none other than Cyrus''s group following Milly.


    Milly opened the metal door and let them in as she said, "This shop was used to sell magic beast meat while the upper portion was used as an abattoir. However, I did my best to get rid of that stench, but it''s still lingering in here as it had simmered into walls. So, Mr. Lust needs to get rid of it first if you want to open a spa here, and I''m sure you needed to do quite a lot as well."


    Cyrus nodded as he entered the shop and looked at therge interior, although it was clear he could smell that faint stench of blood and meat.


    "How many floors can I have in one shop?" He asked a strange question.


    Milly was startled for a moment before she replied, "It seemed Mr. Lust wanted to create more space. ording to the Magic Union property policy, you need to pay tax to the city hall if your shop exceeds three floors, and with every extra floor, the tax will increase. The maximum limit for a shop in a third-grade city is ten floors."


    "What? They even have rules for the things we own?" Rita asked with squinted eyes as she was clearly unhappy.


    Milly looked at Rita as if she was looking at an alien since it wasmon knowledge in the union. She said with a wry smile, "Miss Poppy, this is the policy of the union, and I have no idea why they ced it, nor can I do anything about it. The union protects us and provides us with means to defend against the dimensions, so I don''t think paying such a small price to our protectors is a bad thing."


    "Forgive her. She''s just na?ve as she only left home recently to gather worldly experience." Cyrus decided to answer for Rita, which only made her cross her arms in dissatisfaction since she still had some things she wanted to say, but she couldn''t after Cyrus spoke.


    "There''s no problem. I…" Milly was politely replying when her words caught in her throat because Cyrus suddenly removed the mask from his face.


    Milly had seen many men in her life, and her profession was also the kind where she met with all kinds of people, but even she had never seen such a handsome man in her 27 years of life, which instantly made her speechless.


    "You were saying?" Cyrus asked with a smile.


    Milly''s heart skipped a beat with that smile and a tingle of blush surface on her face.


    "Hmph!" Rita coldly harrumphed as she knew this woman would be trouble and gave Cyrus a resentful gaze as she knew he had done this on purpose. Still, she won''t express her dissatisfaction in front of strangers, which would make Cyrus look bad.


    That''s why she never retorts to Cyrus in front of Milly because she doesn''t want to make him unhappy.


    Milly snapped out of her daze before falling into another as she couldn''t avert her eyes from Cyrus despite being a first-ss sorceress.


    But she used all her willpower to control her wildly beating heart and avert her eyes, "I-I should leave!" There was a hint of shyness in her voice this time as she moved her step with difficulty while she controlled herself from ncing at him.


    ''Is this why he was hiding his face? I already want to keep looking at him!'' She thought before she panicked at her own dangerous thoughts. She blushed even more heavily.


    "Miss Milly, you shoulde tomorrow. The shop will be open in the morning. I''ll wait for you!"


    Cyrus''s gentle voice almost made her tremble when she imagined him saying it, and her step, even more quickened as she was escaping. She didn''t even reply.


    "Hmph, at least she knew her ce." Rita was very pleased as she watched Milly run away.


    "Her will is too weak." Hilda berated coldly.


    Cyrus shook his head, "No, she''s a virgin in her prim it''s normal. She reacts this way when she finds an ideal mate. Humans are like animals when ites to mating; once they reach a certain point of maturity, they will instinctively seek a pair. But what''s made us different is we have rationality."<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Both women looked at Cyrus in unison, and Rita directly asked, "You can tell she''s a virgin? And with your face, every woman will consider you their mate even if they don''t want to!"


    "When she shakes my hand, I probe her. She''s not bad, I guess. She has a bronze-grade talent, only a rank below you. As for the matter of my face, I guess you''re right." Cyrus shamelessly shrugged his shoulders, leaving both women speechless.


    His tone suddenly turned stern, "Alright, enough with your little ranting. You are my Daopanion, and this status is not something I would give to just anyone. Since you two were the first two women to follow me, consider this your luck.


    "You''ll know just how difficult it is to raise to my Dao Companion status once I start epting women. And I think I''m going to start very soon, so you two better behave as your statuses, or it would look bad on your juniors."


    "Just how many are you nning to ept?" Rita squinted her eyes as she couldn''t help but ask.


    Even Hilda was quite surprised by Cyrus''s blunt deration. He was clearly not just going to stop at five or ten women. However, by his tone, she felt she might''ve underestimated his ambition when he saw he would have more than one Dao Companion.


    It appeared he was only talking about status, not women at that time!


    Cyrus replied without even thinking, "As many as theye."


    These words were like storms to both women''s ears as they suddenly understood why he called himself ''Lust.''


    "You''ll understand what I mean once I sort out things. Let''s start with this shop, shall we?" He chuckled and didn''t express himself any further.


    Cyrus has always been straightforward and disdained to lie to mortals. It was a pride of a God. Even after rebirth, it hadn''t changed at all!


    Cyrus then ignored those two girls and looked at the empty shop with a wily grin on his face. He didn''t need anything except his Qi to renovate this entire ce, and he was nning to change the entire shape of this thing!


    ---


    At this moment, back in the Slum Distinct A, area-3, right where the heart zone was, a few powerful figures were gathered there while holding magic devices as they scanned the ce.


    There were ten people who were busy in a heated discussion in avish tent not far away from the scanning zone.


    "I have told you guys a million times that I haven''t taken the oath relic. Do you think I would be here if I had taken it and exined myself to you guys instated of going back to the Silver Wing Country?" Grey had this exasperated expression as he coldly stated in front of the nine people wearing different types of clothes than Grey.


    Despite Hilda telling him, Grey doesn''t leave and decides to wait for Hilda just in case that was his imagination and even search the area. But she didn''te back, and there weren''t any traces of her in the slum districts, so he knew that message might''ve been legit and felt moreplicated.


    However, while doing this, Grey forgot that the other nine ns wereing this way, and once they were here, they didn''t find any oath relic, which turned their attention to Grey, and they were naturally suspicious of him that he took relic.


    Especially the Oath Keeper n, who were hell-bent on retrieving it, and they won''t let Grey leave until they were absolutely sure he didn''t take it.


    If it were just Oath Keeper n alone, Grey wouldn''t have given two shit about them and left, but the problem was the other eight ns were siding with them, and they were all at the same level as him. So, he got no choice but to behave.


    Those guys were clearly jealous that the Silver Wing n managed to get its hands on the relic first, and they didn''t.


    Especially the Cloudless Country, who should be the one toe here first, but they were simply too careless and thought the dimension would only be opened in a decided time like the other ns.


    Now, the Silver Wing n beat everyone to it, but they were iming not to have the relic, and no one would believe it, and it has be Grey''s headache!
