Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Leila happily jumped in front of Liz.

……

After taking Leila to play with Lis, Luo Xiu left.

There's nothing to worry about. Even if three sixth princes and three Ries combined, Leila wouldn't be able to beat her now.

He walked toward the door leading to the lower cabin, intending to go there and enjoy some Rovaniean cuisine.

Back in Wheel Town, Mrs. Oles next door made him and Leila a fish soup from Rovanp, which he quite liked.

But as soon as he pushed open the door, and after taking only a few steps in the narrow passage, a small hand grabbed the hem of his clothes from the side.

"Lord Basil?"

He blinked and looked at Basil, who was hiding at the corner of a side road on the right.

"What's matter?"

"Have."

Basil stood in the darkness, her big eyes blinking:

"Something happened."

"What's going on?"

Luo Xiu felt that Luo Le's expression looked a bit strange, as if he wanted to talk to him about something, but his eyes were quite assertive.

However, when the "examination" was initiated, her emotional state revealed that she was primarily feeling shy at that moment.

Something is wrong, very wrong.

Luo Xiu felt a sudden alarm bell ring in his mind. He hadn't felt this way in a long time. His intuition told him that Luo Le's request for him was definitely not simple and might cause big trouble.

"...This matter cannot be discussed here."

After Luo Xiu finished speaking, Luo Xiu became even more vigilant.

"Well, Mr. Basil, I'm a little hungry and would like to eat something first."

Basil politely declined with a smile.

But Basil clearly didn't understand this polite refusal.

She nodded, her face tense.

"Okay, let's talk after we finish eating."

As she spoke, she looked up at Luo Xiu, who remained motionless in place:

"Why don't you leave?"

"You... want to come with me?"

Luo Xiu blinked.

"I'm hungry too."

Basil's face remained tense; although her expression was serious, it wasn't particularly intimidating.

"Okay, it's a pleasure to have lunch with you."

Luo Xiu naturally had no reason to refuse.

This lunch was among the worst of all the meals Luo Xiu had eaten since his transmigration.

Although the Rovanp seafood risotto and Dori prawn soup were to his liking, the staring gaze of the basil sitting next to him greatly diminished the enjoyment of the lunch.

After the meal, Basil led Rosie to her room where she was resting.

After closing the door, Basil looked at Luo Xiu with a serious expression:

"Please sit there, I have something I want to ask you."

It doesn't seem like you want something from me.

Luo Xiu readily agreed and sat down on a chair. Even so, he was still considerably taller than Basil, who was standing opposite him.

"What is it? Please tell me."

"I want you to tell me... how to become stronger."

Seemingly finding it difficult to express her request, Basil's face flushed slightly.

"..."

Luo Xiu was taken aback:

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

"It's...it's...how to become stronger!"

Basil blushed, gesturing frantically with her little hands, but couldn't explain it clearly. Finally, she got impatient:

"Mirel and Leila both said that if you want to become as strong as them, you have to come and ask you in person! What do you want? Just tell me, and I'll trade you anything I can give you!"

"You mean...you want to be like Leila and the others?"

Luo Xiu asked tentatively.

"Correct!"

Basil breathed a sigh of relief, finally explaining things clearly.

With her big, bright eyes, platinum blonde hair, and fair skin, she really did look like a porcelain doll.

"...That might be a bit difficult."

Luo Xiu told him the truth.

"...The difficulty is, as I said, I'll trade you something! Tell me what you want first, what if I happen to have it?"

Basil was so anxious he almost jumped up and punched Luo Xiu's thigh.

"It's not a matter of what to exchange for it."

Luo Xiu waved his hand, intending to find a tactful way to tell Luo Le, but seeing Luo Le's face turning red with anxiety, he finally said:

"If you insist on exchanging something for it, what I need is..."

Basil followed Luo Xiu's outstretched finger and saw her own chest.

Her heart tightened:

"What do you mean?"

"you."

Luo Xiu spoke frankly, acknowledging that some things did indeed need to be discussed openly to avoid misunderstandings:

"If you, Lord Basil, wish to be like Leila and the others, the price you will have to pay is yourself, your very being."

"..."

After a long silence, Basil ran out of the room without looking back.

Luo Xiu caught a glimpse of her bright red ears and the word "pervert" she was muttering under her breath.

Luo Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Things are better discussed openly; misunderstandings can't just continue indefinitely.

He looked at his control panel.

Name: Luo Xiu

【Strength: 4161/6000】

[Agility: 3100/6000]

【Physique: 3700/6000】

[Magic power: 2000/6000]

[Mental Resistance: 3000/6000]

[Points available: 980]

【技能：中级治愈术 LV.1（0/500）扬尘 LV. 2（0/10）审视 LV.3（0/100）奴役 LV.4（0/200）虚弱术 LV.5（0/300）点物 LV.0 (0/1)】

[Highest points: 6]

【LV.0 Supreme Body (1/10)】

To be fair, he only needs 200 points to advance to the next level of enslavement, and he has enough points to spare. Exchanging 200 points for basil is a sure-fire way to make a profit.

As the youngest Tier 5 in Kanriel, Basil's talent is beyond doubt.

Of the current batch of young fourth-tier geniuses in Kanriel, very few will actually make it to the fifth tier.

Not to mention that Basil's age is extremely young for a fifth-order rank.

However, the prerequisite for using [enslavement] is that the other party must accept it wholeheartedly.

Although Luo Xiu forced Miler and Tassanya to "voluntarily accept" the terms, the method seemed rather strange when applied to Luo Le.

Luo Xiu stood up, preparing to leave Luo Le's room, but unexpectedly the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Why are you back again?"

Basil stared blankly at the red-eyed basil standing in the doorway, a sense of foreboding rising within her:

You wouldn't—

"I don't!"

Basil immediately denied it, but then slammed the door shut.

The two looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere gradually became tense and anxious.

Finally, basil spoke:

"You need to help me at least reach the sixth rank of the upper level."

Her voice was very soft, like a mosquito's buzz; if Luo Xiu hadn't had such good hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear her at all.

After saying that, she began to take off her armor.
