" With a playful grin, and Jiao snatched the flute and dashed outside with Lui in the hall, Fong Ho and Domina were left alone once more.
Domina was now clad in a maid's outfit.
A long black skirt paired with black leg armor that resembled a second skin.
Given Domina's attributes, the long skirt suited her dual form ability well.
Should she wear trousers and transform into a spider, they would inevitably be ruined.
Whereas a skirt would not pose such a dilemma.
Fong Ho glanced at Domina, contemplated for a moment, and then picked up a nearby iron sword.
Observing this, Domina proactively leaned against the table before her.
In the afternoon, Domina, burdened with a large package, boarded the bone dragon.
Fong Hao, employing a rather forceful method, raised her loyalty to a solid 90 points.
However, upon reaching this threshold, while Dominus still appreciated this approach, her loyalty did not increase further.
Time was of the essence.
Domina would return to the weaver's camp with several hours journey ahead, bringing this round of games to a close.
As for whether Domina possessed alternative methods for swiftly enhancing loyalty, that would have to await further exploration.
After Domina's departure, the maids continued their discussion, intrigued by the Spiderwoman's transformation into a human.
Following dinner, the goldsmith Luke sought out Fong How once more, holding several accessories, jewelry crafted for Lady Rebecca, the wife of the Lord of Lis.
The goldsmith's craftsmanship was intricate.
It took 101 artisans considerable time to produce the trial samples.
They exchanged brief words, committing Luke's instructions to memory.
The next day, as dawn broke and the night slowly receded, Fong Hao awoke and began his morning routine.
According to the plan established with Luke the previous evening, he would take the trial samples of the goldsmith's work to Lysa's city for Lady Rebecca to try on.
Yer had already begun preparing breakfast.
Fonggho entered in Jia's room to rouse her, reaffirming that a playful slap on the rear was not a bug to enhance loyalty.
After a simple breakfast, he set off with Jia and Dimitria aboard the bone dragon.
The dragon's powerful legs propelled them towards the grizzly bear outpost.
By 10:00 in the morning, the trio arrived at the grizzly bear outpost.
They switched to the swift purple-caled horse and before dusk reached Lysa's city.
In Lysa's city at the popular hot pot establishment, the owner, Vanessa, and the bandit grizzly bear, greeted Fong Ho with surprise at his unexpected arrival.
When will you be opening? Fong Ho inquired as he settled into a chair.
This building had originally been tavern.
After being acquired by Fong Ho, Vanessa planned to transform it into a hot pot restaurant.
She had been renovating for several days, and according to her promised timeline, the opening day was upon them.
The sign could be hung tomorrow, and as long as the ingredients and staff were in place, they could commence operations, Vanessa replied.
All right, expedite the arrangements.
I will notify others to cooperate with you.
Fungho nodded.
Understood.
My lord, Vanessa smiled.
This establishment was significantly larger than her previous tavern, and Leisy City was also more expansive with a greater population, ample opportunity for her to thrive.
After dinner, Fong Hao groomed himself a new and dawned a meticulously prepared suit before heading directly to the Lord's manor.
This time, Rebecca was not attending any ball.
Following a maid, she paused in front of a room.
The maid gently knocked on the door.
Madam, Mr.
Fong, how has arrived? Let him in.
came to reply.
The door swung open and Fong House stepped inside.
It was a study with a desk at the center and four bookshelves lined against the wall laid in with an array of books.
Beside them were several exquisite paintings.
Rebecca dressed in a light blue casual gown was bent over the desk writing something.
Upon Fong's entrance, she glanced up momentarily.
Do you always prefer to visit others homes in the evening? Chapter 313.
Five corpse.
Rebecca's tone bore a hint of reproach and her face displayed a trace of weariness.
However, Fongo remained indifferent to her complaints.
Alas, there is little to be done without accommodation provided by the client.
I must return early tomorrow, leaving me with only a day's worth of lodging expenses.
Rebecca couldn't help but smile slightly at his chest, casting a mock glare in his direction.
It seemed as though he had shifted the burden onto her, as if she were the one at fault for his predicament.
Well, then, you didn't te come merely to lament about accommodation.
Did you? Rebecca inquired about Fong Hao's purpose for visiting.
Fong Hao, not wishing to prolong the matter, promptly opened his backpack and began to retrieve the jewelry contained within.
During their journey, these items have been stored away, but upon arriving here, he had placed them in his bag to avoid any complications.
The accessories for the gown are ready today.
I have come for you to try them on.
Once confirmed, we can proceed to finalize the production, he stated.
Is it ready so soon? Rebecca responded with a hint of surprise.
The creation of jewelry differs significantly from that of garments.
The processes of metal smelting and intricate carving are labor intensive and time-conuming.
A piece of jewelry fit for nobility is worth a fortune, not merely due to its craftsmanship and materials, but also because of the time invested in its creation.
"My artisans are numerous, and their division of labor allows for a swifter production," Fong Ho explained nonchalantly.
"Within his territory, there were 101 goldsmiths, not only plentiful in number, but also closely matched in skill, ensuring a consistency in quality.
" Very well, let us see how it turns out," Rebecca remarked, rising with a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes.
She held high hopes for Fong House designs.
Recognizing that over the years, only his creations had demonstrated innovation and breakthroughs.
She instructed a maid to bring a full-length mirror.
Stepping out from behind her desk, Rebecca positioned herself before the mirror.
Noticing the maid's hesitation to act, Fonggha stood up and taking the jewelry from the side, moved behind her.
As he drew near, he caught a whiff of her delicate fragrance.
Clad in a light blue casual gown that elegantly accentuated her graceful figure.
The deep V neckline revealed her alluring curves.
Fonhow adorned her neck with a necklace embedded with blue gemstones.
The contrast of the fair skin against the sapphire necklace created a striking harmony.
Rebecca swayed gently before the mirror, admiring her reflection, instinctively nodding in approval.
Even though it was merely a trial fitting, and many processes remained incomplete, the overall effect of the accessories was already apparent, exuding an air of exquisite nobility.
Satisfied, a smile graced her lips, catching sight of Fong how es gaze fixed upon her, she casually initiated a conversation.
I have heard that quite a stir has arisen in Prule City lately.
As Lissith City is adjacent to Prule, we are somewhat attuned to the unfolding events.
Indeed, Fongghao replied nonchalantly.
Sirill had participated in numerous battles for the Federation, rendering outstanding contributions to humanity.
Yet, he met an untimely demise at the hands of the Blood Clan.
Rebecca sighed softly.
Tavic was acclaimed as the lord of the city and reported the situation in Plural City to the Federation, attributing Sirill's death to the attack by the Blood Clan, supported by several pieces of evidence.
It seemed that Rebecca had also received the news, otherwise she would not have mentioned Sirill.
Rebecca continued to adorn herself with the bracelet and earrings, her smile growing ever more radiant.
Truly enchanting.
The thought crossed my mind.
Would humanity engage in war with the blood clan? Funhow inquired further.
If humanity were to directly confront the Moonlight Heights over this incident, it would spell trouble.
An outright assault on the Moonlight Heights would mean conflict with their station troops.
