Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Recovering the Merchant Guild’s Lost Wealth

Enjoying the soft scent of jade and fragrance in his embrace, Su Li slept until nearly 10 AM the next day before lazily stretching and getting out of bed.

As he caressed Hilude's soft and full figure, he leisurely perused the Prophet of Destiny messages for the day.

[Your strong will to lie flat has enhanced the timeline, enabling you to gain the[Prophet of Destiny]ability while lying flat.]

[Since you are in a lying state, today's prophet messages have been updated.]

[1. The monthly tournament in Bauhinia Town will take place as scheduled tomorrow at the knight arena, where the young knight Seryan will achieve the honor of[Knight of Dawn]through four glorious battles, earning substantial betting rewards from the arena.]

[2. The blacksmith shop owner, Old John from Bauhinia Castle, will discover a rare piece of star iron ore while out collecting around noon tomorrow, which will help improve the durability of his armor crafting.]

[3. A half griffin in Bauhinia Castle is about to lose control completely this afternoon, resulting in 1 death and 3 injuries. As spring arrives, when everything is coming back to life, it desperately needs the companionship of a female griffin to release its pent-up energy. If no female griffin is available, it would reluctantly accept a lioness.]

[4. The Thieves' Guild in Bauhinia Town will transfer all hidden loot and wealth from the ancient tomb in the cemetery by midnight today, disguising as a caravan and handing all the wealth to the secretly supporting knight nobility. The Belarde Commerce Association will painfully lose 150 kilograms of vibranium hidden in clay pots, and will be wanted by the City Defense Team for smuggling contraband.]

[5: ...]

[6: ...]

[9. At 3:00 AM tomorrow, on a cliff 370 kilometers northeast of Thorn Valley, a legendary nightlight flower will bloom. Its guardian beast, the Maros Poison Snake, defeated numerous coveting threats and successfully devoured the flower, advancing into a second-tier magical beast, the Colorful Poison Python.]

[10. The Beastman Blood Hand Tribe, 1000 kilometers away in the world's Edge Mountain Range, is about to raid a human territory, with their shaman already crafting totems to inspire the beastmen's bloodthirsty battle spirit.]

After reading through several refreshed pieces of information, Su Li couldn't help but smile. The data density today is quite high.

This[Prophet of Destiny]ability may not be suitable for cultivation, but it's definitely a powerful tool for getting rich.

Fortunately, this isn't the world Su Li came from. Knowing the results and then placing bets would basically ensure no problems. In the previous life, even if he had this prophetic ability and knew the winning numbers of the next day, buying them with excitement would never lead to winning.

Feeling Su Li's energetic state and accelerated heartbeat after waking, Hilude's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she looked down, speaking softly: "Young Master Suli, we should get up. I'm afraid your body won't be able to handle it."

"What do you mean by unable to handle it?" Su Li wasn't the frail 30-year-old office worker in his past life anymore. Now he was young, vigorous, full of vitality, and at 18, he felt motivated just seeing a crack in a stone: "I'm in excellent condition and ready to help you practice right now. Do you want to try?"

Hilude quickly waved her hand in surrender: "Young Master Suli, I... I need a break. I feel like my body might have been worn out by you. I'm having trouble controlling myself; it feels like my mind is still on Cloud Peak, all blank, and my body doesn't respond to commands."

Need a break?

Su Li helped her sit up from the bed, carefully feeling around her chest, abdomen, and thighs for critical points, then his expression became strange: "Hilude, your body isn't worn out."

"Huh? Then what's wrong? Am I sick?" Hilude looked anxiously into Su Li's meaningful expression, clutching the quilt corners tightly, her bright eyes filled with worry, thinking perhaps this unusual path wasn't suitable for deep exchange?

"No. It's just..." Su Li looked at her, surprised and curious, and said, "You seem to have broken through again and reached the middle stage of an Apprentice Knight."

Could the fairy's practice, no, the knight's practice, actually work?

Hilude's face instantly blossomed into a radiant smile, joyfully leaping from the bed, her voice trembling with excitement: "Really? How... how should I thank you? Your help to me is just too great! I feel so guilty, I even doubted your motives before. I... I'll definitely repay you doubly! Shall we... start practicing now?"

Good, good, very good!

Yesterday, Hilude was a bit reserved, reluctant to learn many poses—oops, many knowledge areas, and spoke as quietly as mosquitoes, with very little communication.

With Hilude's words, today they could unlock most of the knowledge!

But alternating work and rest is the way to strategize. So Su Li directly rejected Hilude's suggestion and instead earnestly advised her: "Hilude, although the knight's cultivation method is effective, we must not rush. You just had a breakthrough, and now your situation clearly shows a disconnect between mental thinking and physical responses. What you should do now is go to the training ground for adaptive training to regain control over your body."

Hearing this, Hilude nodded solemnly, her eyes bright with trust in Su Li: "Yes! I will listen to everything you say, Young Master Suli. I am willing to follow all your arrangements."

A few minutes later, Hilude staggered out of the room, meeting Guardian Knight Schwartz just outside the door.

This almost made Schwartz drop his jaw, and the box he was holding slipped a bit: "Young Master Suli, Hilude! Hilude broke through again?"

"Oh? You think she broke through too?" Su Li looked as calm as a gentle breeze and light clouds: "Then I must be right."

Schwartz felt as if his mind had been struck by thunder, his whole being shocked, and he could hardly speak, pointing to Hilude's back: "She... she... I... how can this be!"

He felt as though all his years of understanding cultivation were being mercilessly shattered by this little girl!

Shock completely drowned his logic!

Is it possible that someone can awaken their bloodline twice in a day? Even with high-grade auxiliary potions, it shouldn't be this exaggerated!

He was an Elite Knight, a heroic figure among people, yet following his trajectory, at 12, he finally accumulated enough blood energy to awaken his bloodline and become an Extraordinary Professional. He then trained for at least half a year to stabilize his blood energy, reaching the mid-stage of an Apprentice Knight.

His knight instructor praised him, saying he would surely surpass himself and become an outstanding Elite Knight.

This old knight ended up as nothing more than an Official Knight!

But at Hilude's speed, she might surpass most knights' life achievements in less than a month!

"Alright, Schwartz, the facts are as you see them; there's no need to doubt further." Su Li asked calmly: "Did you have something to say? If not, call Knight Frederick, and let's head out together."
