Chapter 188: Late Night, Renice’s Wish

Hearing Cao Xing's praise, Andrew said humbly: "Thanks to the power of the Lord."

"If it weren't for the Lord, there wouldn't be an Andrew today…"

Cao Xing smiled.

Although he wanted Andrew to apply [Thorn Technique] + [Life Bloom] to everyone right now, it was already past 11 PM, a bit too late.

So, Cao Xing said directly: "Alright, everyone has worked hard."

"Except for those on watch in the second half of the night, everyone else go back and rest."

Hearing Cao Xing's order, everyone dispersed.

The second half of the night was guarded by Sarah and Assam leading a troop.

After everyone left, Cao Xing gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

The gains from taking down the Hunter camp were truly massive!

Everyone's strength had been greatly improved because of this.

For Cao Xing, this was truly fighting to support fighting.

The more enemies he killed, the stronger he became!

Not only that, he still had several pieces of equipment whose attributes he hadn't checked.

After everyone had left, Cao Xing gave Liu Muxue a few instructions, telling her to go back to her room to rest.

Liu Muxue obediently returned to the Lords Cabin.

Then, he began to silently check the attributes of this equipment.

The first item was a pair of daggers that were pitch black like ink; once they blended into the night, there was no trace of their existence.

They were very light in the hand, basically feeling no weight at all.

"Good blades!" Cao Xing exclaimed.

These two daggers were the weapons Montra had used at the time.

He glanced at the attributes.

[Silent Blade (Gold)]

[Quality: Treasure]

[Equipment Level: Level 30 or above]

[Weapon Type: Two-handed weapon (Note: Two-handed weapon equipment effects are the same, and share attribute bonuses and effect cooldowns, they do not stack)]

[Attack Power: 632 ~ 674]

[Attached Effect ①: Agility + 120, Strength + 60]

[Attached Effect ②: Dexterous Hands (Cast speed + 20%, Attack speed + 20%)]

[Attached Effect ③: Silent Strike (Under stealth state, increases aura concealment by 30%, and has a 70% probability of not breaking stealth after attacking)]

[Attached Effect ④: Pain Intensification (Deals an additional 30% damage to enemies in a bleeding state)]

(Equipment Introduction: Have you heard the sound of blood flowing? I mean, when the dagger cuts through your blood vessels, you feel nothing, until your own blood spurts out—Mist Thief: Rodis Babulin)

"Very strong, and a very pure assassin's blade."

"This pair of weapons should be very suitable for Sarah."

Cao Xing continued to check the next piece of equipment.

[Swift Boots (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Equipment Level: Level 25]

[Armor: 57 ~ 66]

[Attached Effect ①: Agility + 30, Physique + 20]

[Attached Effect ②: Agile Steps (Evasion rate increased by 20%)]

[Attached Effect ③: Swift Step (After being attacked, can actively activate the Sprint effect, within 30 seconds, running speed increases by 50%, Cooldown: 120 seconds)]

(Equipment Introduction: Don't chase me! Otherwise, I will let you know what a man like the wind is—Ranger: Lorin Hani)

The attributes of these boots were also quite good.

Although the attributes above were not very suitable for himself, they were more suitable for agility-based professions like Renice and Sarah.

But as mentioned before, he was a squishy mage!

He had to try his best to ensure his survival ability.

Running away was also a form of survival ability.

Under the blessing of [Queens Will], his running speed had already exceeded that of assassins of the same rank.

After activating the effect on [Swift Boots], I'm afraid only a leader-level assassin like Sarah could catch up to him!

Cao Xing put them on without hesitation!

He immediately felt that his running had more energy.

"Good, good, good, from now on, call me the Swift Mage!"

Then, he continued to check the next piece of equipment.

This was a pair of gray gloves.

[Cruel Gloves (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Equipment Level: Level 25]

[Armor: 17 ~ 25]

[Attached Effect ①: Strength + 30, Agility + 20]

[Attached Effect ②: Bloody Hands (When performing physical attacks, increases bleeding chance by 20%)]

[Attached Effect ③: Cruel Hands (When attacking the same enemy consecutively, damage dealt per attack increases by 5%, up to a maximum of 30%, expires after changing targets)]

(Equipment Introduction: Gloves once worn by a heinous murderer, it is said that he once dissected the bodies of hundreds of people.)

This pair of gloves also had very good attributes.

The premise was not to look at the equipment introduction above…

However, for Cao Xing, its origin was not important.

Once in his hands, it was a piece of equipment that could enhance combat power.

As mentioned before, power itself is not scary, what is scary is its user.

Cao Xing pondered: "These gloves seem quite suitable for Renice."

"In a moment, I can give them to her along with the Beast Skin Pants."

At this point, the purple equipment obtained from that camp had almost all been checked.

Finally, there was a purple square hammer and a purple staff.

Because no one used heavy weapons like hammers, Cao Xing didn't check them much.

That staff could be given to the mage apprentice Aili or Sylvia.

After all, Cao Xing already had a Level 20 gold staff, so the purple-grade staff didn't have much appeal to him.

He glanced at the attributes.

[Deep Staff (Purple)]

[Quality: Rare]

[Equipment Level: Level 20]

[Attack Power: 254 ~ 274]

[Attached Effect ①: Spirit + 20, Physique + 10]

[Attached Effect ②: Primary Magic Amplification (All magic attack damage increased by 10%)]

[Attached Effect ③: Eye of the Deep (After an attack hits, reduces the target's magic resistance by 20%, lasting for 10 seconds)]

(Equipment Introduction: A staff with special power, origin unknown.)

Seeing the third effect on this staff, Cao Xing's eyes lit up.

"Hey, it can actually reduce the opponent's magic resistance, this staff is good!"

"Reducing magic resistance by 20% is equivalent to increasing the magic attack damage of the team members by 20%, greatly increasing the output capability of magic-type professions!"

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

So far, everything had been checked.

And for these pieces of equipment, he already had candidates for distribution in his mind.

First of all, the first thing to do was naturally to distribute the gold dagger to his number one general.

At this moment, Sarah was patrolling the territory.

However, Cao Xing looked around and couldn't find the figure of this Dark Elf assassin.

There was no way, if Sarah didn't want to be discovered, Cao Xing couldn't discover her at all.

In desperation, he called out softly.

"Sarah."

A moment later, a slender black shadow appeared silently beside Cao Xing.

"Lord, I am here."

Cao Xing thought to himself, as expected, whenever he couldn't find Sarah, just calling her would make her appear.

Looking at the Dark Elf kneeling in front of him, he asked directly.

"Sarah, what weapon are you using now?"

Hearing this, the Dark Elf handed the weapon in her hand to Cao Xing without hesitation.

[Obtained: Shadow Blade (Purple) * 2]

Cao Xing looked at the attributes; it was a Level 20 dual-wield weapon.

The attributes were okay.

But compared to [Silent Blade] it was much worse.

After all, one was a Level 30 gold weapon, and the other was a Level 20 purple weapon.

So, Cao Xing directly handed the two black daggers to Sarah.

Sarah's eyes carried a slight surprise, "Is this… the weapon in the hands of that white-robed priest?"

Cao Xing smiled: "Yes, the attributes are quite good."

"You are already Level 28, you should be able to equip them in the next two days."

"By the way, the Heart of Strength for your breakthrough to the fourth rank is also ready."

"Although this thing has a probability of failure, but…"

Before Cao Xing could finish speaking.

A pair of hot lips had already kissed him, directly interrupting what Cao Xing was about to say next.

The next moment, Cao Xing only felt a warm little tongue constantly teasing him.

The Dark Elf's heavy breathing kept hitting Cao Xing's face.

Cao Xing only felt a burst of heat in his lower abdomen, and then hugged the beauty in his arms with his backhand.

Not only that, Cao Xing's hands gradually reached into the assassin's leather armor, launching a double offensive on the Dark Elf in front of him.

"Mmm… Mmm…"

Sarah made murmurs in her mouth, and her body was twisting constantly.

The two lingered for nearly five minutes.

The Dark Elf in front of him had blurred eyes, seemingly having the fire in her heart ignited again.

She hugged Cao Xing's neck and stared at him affectionately.

Cao Xing asked: "Do you want to go back to the room? Sarah?"

Hearing this, a look of struggle flashed in Sarah's eyes.

Then she shook her head and said: "Not now, Lord…"

"I am on guard in the second half of the night, someone needs to be in the territory, always guarding against those lurkers."

Cao Xing nodded, he also knew that what Sarah said was the truth.

In the territory, only she and Renice had the means to see through the stealth of those assassins.

She stood on tiptoe, bit Cao Xing's earlobe, and said unwillingly: "Remember to come find me tomorrow night, my dear Lord~"

After speaking, Sarah prepared to turn and leave to continue patrolling the territory.

But Cao Xing grabbed her wrist and said: "Don't rush, I have something else to give you."

Then, he took out the [Assassin's Manual (Orange)].

Sarah's beautiful eyes carried a look of doubt, and then she began to read the information recorded in the manual.

Just by flipping through a few pages, the doubt in her eyes gradually disappeared and turned into intense shock.

"Goddess of the Dark Moon is above… The various assassination techniques recorded in this are so high-end and profound, its owner is at least a sixth-rank master assassin!"

"This kind of top-tier assassin is a master even in the entire continent!"

"Lord, where did you get this manual?"

Sarah looked at Cao Xing with a face full of surprise.

Cao Xing, however, smiled and said, "I found it in that camp. I thought it would be helpful to you, so I brought it back."

Hearing this, Sarah, who was usually unflappable, lost her usual composure.

Her tone was slightly hurried as she said, "This is more than just helpful!"

"If this manual appeared in our Dark Elf tribe, it would be treasured as a priceless artifact!"

"Even in our tribe, there are not many Master-level assassins, and they do not easily teach their assassination techniques!"

"And this manual even records the life of this Master-level assassin in detail, as well as their insights into these skills at every stage. It is equivalent to recording every detail."

"As long as I learn all the knowledge inside and practice diligently, I am confident that I can break through to the Master level within twenty years!"

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then thought to himself, "Twenty years?"

For the natives of this world, achieving the Master level in twenty years is considered quite fast.

However, for Cao Xing, this speed was still too slow.

At his rate of development, it probably wouldn't be long before Tier 6 creatures appeared among his subordinates.

Of course, that is assuming there are no restrictions on their breakthroughs.

After all, the Survivor Lord and his subordinates require various Heart of Strength items to advance.

The [Advanced Heart of Strength] he currently possesses can only allow them to transform from Tier 3 to Tier 4.

As for what is needed for the higher Tier 5, that remains unknown…

But Cao Xing still encouraged her, "Not bad, Sarah. I really look forward to the day you become a Master-level assassin!"

Sarah solemnly put away the [Assassin's Manual] in her hand.

Then she knelt on one knee and said, "My Lord, this is the most precious gift Sarah has ever received since she was a child."

"In the name of the Dark Moon Goddess, Sarah Blade Dance will defend everything that is yours with her life from now on."

This promise can be said to be very heavy.

This means that Sarah is even willing to give up everything for Cao Xing.

Including her race, faith, and life…

Cao Xing smiled and helped the Dark Elf assassin up.

"Go, Sarah."

Sarah nodded, then vanished from the spot to patrol the territory.

…

After Sarah left, Cao Xing thought to himself, "Next, I need to go give those Beast Hide Pants and Cruel Gloves to Renice."

"Both pieces of equipment suit her very well."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing went straight to Renice's residence and began to knock on the door.

"Knock! Knock knock!"

Although he had access permissions for all buildings in the entire territory.

But after all, it was a girl's room, so he still had to knock before entering.

At this moment, a cold, clear voice came from inside.

"Who is it?"

"It's me."

Upon hearing his voice, a flurry of footsteps quickly came from inside.

Step… step step…

Then the door opened.

In front of Cao Xing appeared a strange woman.

She had soft, long hair draped over her shoulders and was wearing loose silk pajamas.

Through the light, one could see the curvaceous lines of her figure.

Cao Xing studied her for a moment and asked in confusion, "Uh… are you Renice?"

At this moment, this woman, who looked somewhat like a girl-next-door older sister, shyly lowered her head.

"Do I not look like her? My Lord…"

Come to think of it, this was the first time Cao Xing had seen Renice in this appearance.

Previously, for the sake of convenience in battle, she always tied her hair up, making her look heroic and spirited.

But in this current appearance, she seemed much gentler.

Cao Xing smiled, "It's not that, I just didn't react in time."

Renice asked softly, "Then… does My Lord like me looking like this…"

Her voice was very soft, but Cao Xing still heard it.

A moment later, Cao Xing said.

"Yes."

Hearing this, Renice raised her head and revealed a beautiful smile.

The moonlight from above spilled down, making her skin as fair as snow.

In terms of looks, Renice might be slightly inferior to Liu Muxue.

But at this moment, she was like a fairy under the moonlight, radiating her own unique beauty.

Before Cao Xing could react, he suddenly felt his wrist being grabbed.

Then, he was pulled into the room by Renice without question.

As a woman who dealt with bows and arrows all year round, Renice had strong wrist strength, and Cao Xing couldn't even break free.

"Bang!"

The door slammed shut.

Renice pinned Cao Xing against the door, gazing at him affectionately.

The scene before him was a bit strange, which made Cao Xing couldn't help but think.

Uh… did I just get pinned against the wall by my own subordinate?

However, after the initial bold move, Renice seemed to be a bit afraid to continue.

She shyly lowered her head and whispered.

"My… My Lord…"

The earlier intimacy with Sarah had already made Cao Xing feel a flame burning in his body.

Thus, under Renice's surprised gaze, Cao Xing pulled her directly into his arms.

Through the pajamas, Cao Xing could feel the slim curves of this woman.

Especially her waist; not only was there not a trace of fat, but it also gave a feeling of being easily held in one's hands.

Then, Cao Xing moved his hands downward, gradually stroking her perky buttocks.

Under his caress, Renice's body gradually began to twist involuntarily.

The body in his arms gradually heated up.

A moment later, Cao Xing personally removed the loose pajamas from her body.

Rustle…

The pajamas slipped off.

Before Cao Xing appeared a slim and healthy body.

Because of years of exercise, her body curves were perfect, and she even had clearly visible abs on her abdomen.

Looking down, there was a pair of round, perky buttocks.

Renice's figure was not as soft as Liu Muxue, Sarah, and the others.

Instead, it appeared somewhat firm and felt very smooth to the touch.

This woman hugged her arms, turned her head to the side, and said, "My… My Lord…"

"My… my figure might not be as good as Sister Sarah's… will… will you dislike me?"

However, after hearing this, Cao Xing stepped forward, took her hands, and pulled off her outer garment.

A pair of perky, half-bowl shapes appeared before Cao Xing.

Although not large in size, they were truly very perky.

And the shape was nearly perfect.

Renice appeared even more shy.

However, under her shy yet expectant gaze, Cao Xing lowered his head and kissed her.

At this moment, all the anxiety and shyness in her heart vanished.

Only the constant murmurs in her mouth remained.

"Mmm… mmm…"

Renice gradually changed from being inexperienced to actively responding.

Her long arms also wrapped around Cao Xing, and she removed his clothes one by one.

The two of them were intimate and soon ended up on the bed.

Then, she stroked Cao Xing's chest with those palms that were a bit rough, and said softly, "Sorry, My Lord, Renice's palms are a bit rough…"

"I… I have always felt a bit inferior because of this…"

Because of pulling the bowstring for many years, there were many calluses on Renice's palms.

Cao Xing laughed after hearing this, "It's okay, Renice. You are a very perfect woman."

Hearing this, a look of being moved gradually appeared on Renice's face.

"You are the first person to compliment me like this. On the battlefield, my subordinates all think I am too fierce…"

"Because of my strictness, everyone didn't treat me as a woman…"

Before she could finish, Cao Xing had already taken her hands and intertwined their fingers.

Her muscles tensed up instantly, and a look of discomfort appeared on her face.

A moment later, the pain on Renice's face disappeared.

Her movements were so gentle and rhythmic.

It almost left Cao Xing with no time to think, only feeling his brain being emptied wave after wave.

One hour later…

For this hour, Renice had been the one initiating.

She had no strength left.

She lay limply on the floor, looking at Cao Xing with dazed eyes.

In an instant, a wave of softness came from her abdomen.

And Renice, as if struck by lightning, grabbed the bedsheets instantly.

Time passed quietly…

Accompanied by Renice's clear cry, she collapsed again.

Although Renice's physique was much stronger than Cao Xing's.

But being new to these matters, and it being the first time for two consecutive hours, it directly exhausted the beauty before him.

Then, Cao Xing carried the beauty, who was as soft as mud, from the floor back to the bed.

The two of them lay together in the warm blankets…
