Joining the Black Rose requires undergoing enhancement through the Purple Night Magic Orb, and the enhancement levels naturally vary.
Within the Black Rose, the higher the level, the higher the enhancement level. The highest level is naturally Blackthroat Rui and Blackthroat Ba.
Next in rank are the team leaders who are in charge of each store. And lastly, of course, are the store clerks.
Black Rose adheres to the principle of 'girls help girls,' so it recruits only women and not a single man.
“However, this situation may change in the future.” Haibara looked at the young lady and Lin Qiansheng beside her, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Under Lin Qiansheng’s comforting words, Blackthroat finally stopped crying, and a happy smile appeared on her lips.
Road.
The two sat down again.
Heiba picked up her cappuccino and took an elegant sip. It was truly the best cappuccino she had ever tasted.
As for the reason, Heixia Paiba secretly glanced at Lin Qiansheng across from her with her peach-pink eyes and swallowed a mouthful of sweet saliva.
"Um, Qian Shengjun, you saved me just now, and I'd like to invite you to my home for a visit. Is that alright?" Hei Ba said shyly.
Her slender, pale fingers nervously stroked the inside of the teacup, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Lin Qiansheng. This was the first time she had ever invited a friend to her home, and a boy at that.
Hei Paiba's heart was pounding wildly, as if a deer were running through his chest. "Okay, no problem," Lin Qiansheng nodded with a smile.
He was also curious about the faint aura emanating from the Black Union, Haibara, and the waiters. Lin Qiansheng had noticed this aura from the very beginning.
"It's like some kind of enhancement method. Tomoe is the strongest, Haibara is the second strongest, and the waiters are the weakest."
"The source of the enhancement must be in Blackthroat Ba's home." That aura did not belong to the Demon Abyss Continent.
It must be a treasure from another dimension that fell into this world, but it seems weaker than me.
Lin Qiansheng hadn't wasted his years on the Demon Abyss Continent; he was confident he could handle anything. "Maybe I can even use it to further enhance my strength," Lin Qiansheng thought to himself. After all, no one would object to their strength continuing to grow.
"Wait, Miss, were you in danger just now?!" Haibara jumped up, her face extremely serious. "Who was it?! I'll tear that person to pieces!" Haibara said through gritted teeth.
She was Hei Ba's personal bodyguard, yet she had allowed the young lady to be in danger—this was a grave dereliction of duty! "No need," Hei Ba said gratefully, "that person has already been driven away by Qian Shengjun."
"Haibara-nee, you don't need to take it too seriously. After all, I was the one who told you not to come shopping with me, it's not your fault." Kuroba waved his hand at Haibara to calm her down.
Haibara's tightly clenched fist gradually loosened, and then she suddenly bowed deeply to Lin Qiansheng. "Thank you for your help, Mr. Qiansheng," Haibara said sincerely.
"It's nothing, just a small favor. I'm sure if Haibara-nee were here, she could easily drive that guy away too," Lin Qiansheng said with a smile.
"Let's finish our coffee first. This coffee is so good, we can't waste it." Lin Qiansheng raised his coffee and took a sip. Hei Paiba and Haibara also picked up their teacups.
After the truth was revealed, the atmosphere among them naturally lightened considerably. Soon, they finished a cup of coffee.
“Miss, please wait here with Mr. Qiansheng for a moment while I go and bring the car over.”
"Okay, go ahead." Haibara left.
Only Lin Qiansheng and Blackthroat Paiba remained at the coffee table.
Chapter 162 Everything in sight is snow-white
Blackthroat Ba looked at Lin Qiansheng sitting opposite her, pursed her thin lips, and supported herself on the circular sofa with her snow-white arms. She slightly raised her snowy buttocks, came to Lin Qiansheng's side, and wrapped her arms around his arm.
Lin Qiansheng immediately felt the soft touch of the steamed bun enveloping his arm, and the girl's faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, refreshing and delightful.
Hei Paiba lowered her head, her heart pounding, afraid that Lin Qiansheng would leave her.
But even if Lin Qiansheng shook her off, she wouldn't let go. Because Lin Qiansheng was her only friend!
Lin Qiansheng sensed that Blackthroat Paiba's breathing was becoming rapid, so he raised his other hand and gently stroked her silky silver hair.
Blackthroat Pai raised his head, his peach-pink eyes looking at Lin Qiansheng, who was also staring at Blackthroat Pai.
Neither of them spoke, but their eyes were exchanging eager glances. The atmosphere between them gradually became more intimate.
Driven by instinct, Blackthroat Ba moved closer to Lin Qiansheng, his moist, thin lips getting closer and closer to him.
Just as the two were getting closer and closer...
The sound of car horns could be heard outside the coffee shop.
The sharp sound instantly shattered the romantic atmosphere between the two as a black luxury car screeched past the coffee shop.
The atmosphere was broken, and the courage that Hei Paiba had finally mustered vanished without a trace. She no longer had the courage to try again.
Hei Ba's fair, doll-like cheeks instantly flushed red like dates.
Lin Qiansheng coughed lightly, "Sister Haibara should have brought the car over by now, let's go out." "Okay," Heiba replied softly, her voice so low that Lin Qiansheng could hardly hear her. The two slowly stood up.
Hei Ba clung tightly to Lin Qiansheng, like a little girl yearning for her father's warmth, unwilling to leave. Lin Qiansheng didn't say much, and left the coffee shop with Hei Ba.
As they walked, Blackthroat Feiba's steamed buns rubbed against Lin Qiansheng's arm, occasionally squeezing them, allowing him to fully experience the girl's softness.
As for the cost of the coffee, Lin Qiansheng asked the waiter and learned that Haibara had already paid in advance. The two walked to the coffee shop entrance, just as Haibara arrived in her car.
Haibara parked the car at the entrance, jogged down from her seat, and opened the back door. "Miss, Mr. Inui, please come in."
"Qiansheng, you're a guest, please come in first." Hei Paiba also invited Lin Qiansheng inside. Unable to refuse such hospitality, Lin Qiansheng got into the car.
Seeing Lin Qiansheng get into the car, Hei Ba smiled faintly, then got in and sat next to him. Haibara closed the car door, returned to the driver's seat, restarted the car, and drove towards Hei Ba's house.
A faint fragrance filled the car, seemingly from an aromatherapy product. Lin Qiansheng noticed a black box on the passenger seat.
Hei Paiba promptly said, "That's my beloved gun, Fei Xue. Would you like to see it, Qian Shengjun?"
After experiencing the series of events just now, Blackthroat Paiba naturally understood that Lin Qiansheng was no ordinary person, and he certainly wouldn't be afraid of things like guns.
But so what? Lin Qiansheng is her only friend!
Moreover, these two sidearms are her most cherished possessions, and letting Lin Qiansheng see them is a way for good friends to share them.
"If I could, I'd really like to take a look." Lin Qiansheng was genuinely curious. After all, he sensed the same aura emanating from the box as that of Kuroba. Meanwhile, Haibara, standing in front, was once again filled with profound shock.
After all, these two guns are extremely precious to Black Paiba, and no one else is allowed to touch them!
"It seems that Miss is really tempted." Haibara glanced at Lin Qiansheng through the rearview mirror.
Such a handsome son-in-law, it's a real source of pride to talk about him!
Upon hearing Lin Qiansheng's agreement, Heixiaba immediately broke into a happy smile: "I'll go and clap for you!" After saying that, Heixiaba lifted his snowy buttocks and stepped on his tiptoes to reach the box in the passenger seat.
Because Heixia Paiba was bent over, Lin Qiansheng naturally saw the scenery hidden under the school skirt.
Snow-white skin, snow-white fabric, snow-white cat patterns. In short, everything in sight is snow-white.
Blackthroat Ba was the fairest-skinned girl Lin Qiansheng had ever seen.
Moreover, the cat moved along with Hei Ba's movements, as if waving at Lin Qiansheng.
Lin Qiansheng glanced at her and then turned his head away; Haibara was still there. Kuroba had no idea that Lin Qiansheng had seen everything under her skirt.
Or even if they knew, some would just be secretly pleased, and would probably raise their buttocks so that the cute kitten could be displayed more clearly in front of Lin Qiansheng.
Blackthroat Ba took the box to the back, opened it, and took out a black pistol from its holster.
"Qiansheng-jun, look, this is snow." Hei Paiba handed a snowpack to Lin Qiansheng.
Lin Qiansheng took the pistol; it felt heavy in his hand.
"Yes, they are indeed very beautiful and well-maintained. It seems that Ba really likes them," Lin Qiansheng praised.
However, there was one point that Lin Qiansheng didn't mention: this gun did indeed possess a unique aura, and the bullets it fired were probably extraordinary as well.
Upon hearing Lin Qiansheng's praise, Heiba burst into a silvery laugh. "Since Qiansheng-kun likes it, it's yours."
Upon hearing this, Haibara, who was driving, almost couldn't help but slam on the brakes.
She could guess that the young lady had taken a liking to Lin Qiansheng, but she never expected that she would give her beloved gun to Lin Qiansheng!
"No, I don't need the gun, and besides, Paiba, you've already given me a gift, how could I accept another?" Lin Qiansheng shook his head. Hei Paiba thought about it and agreed.
If you're going to give Lin Qiansheng a gun, he really doesn't need it. It would be better to give him something else, like himself.
"In that case, alright then." Blackie put away his pistol. Along the way, Lin Qiansheng and Blackie chatted happily.
Lin Qiansheng's eloquence made Hei Ba laugh and giggle, a happy smile spreading across his face.
Haibara glanced at the two people chatting and laughing behind her, thinking, "The team leader would probably laugh out loud if he saw the young lady like this." After driving for a while, Lin Qiansheng noticed that the scenery outside the car had changed, turning into a long wall.
Furthermore, he saw an enormous, towering villa ahead, which looked incredibly valuable. The whole place resembled a private estate.
"King Qiansheng, we're almost at my house," Hei Ba said, pointing to the villa. "Goodness, I underestimated Ba's power," Lin Qiansheng sighed inwardly.
Chapter 163 White-stockinged maids line the way to welcome us.
Of course, Lin Qiansheng was not envious.
After all, he had a much larger house on the Demon Abyss Continent. The Demon Abyss Continent was vast and sparsely populated, and land was the least valuable commodity there. "Paiba, your house really looks luxurious," Lin Qiansheng complimented.
"Once we're inside, I'll show Inui-kun around," Hei Ba said with a smile. "It would be my honor."
Haibara drove the car to the entrance of the exquisite and solemn manor. The iron gate opened automatically, and the car continued driving.
There were neatly trimmed garden trees on both sides, and also small fountains. However, these were not Lin Qiansheng's main focus.
Upon entering the manor, Lin Qiansheng felt the mysterious aura intensify. And its source lay within the luxurious villa ahead.
At that moment, Haibara parked the car in front of the villa, got out, and opened the car door in one smooth motion.
“Miss, we’re home. Please get out, Mr. Qiansheng. I’ll go park the car in the garage.” Hei Paiba nodded and smiled at Lin Qiansheng, saying, “Qiansheng-kun, let’s get out of the car.” Lin Qiansheng nodded and followed Hei Paiba out of the car.
Haibara drove the car away, leaving only Lin Qiansheng and Hei Paiba at the door.
"Let's go inside. My mom should be home by now." Hei Ba wrapped her fair, slender arms around Lin Qiansheng's arm, her pale cheeks slightly flushed. "Does this count as meeting the parents?" Hei Ba thought to herself, secretly delighted, her silver twin ponytails bouncing with joy.
Lin Qiansheng nodded and followed Hei Ba up the long steps of the villa. At the same time, Lin Qiansheng focused his magic power into his eyes.
Suddenly, wisps of purple energy appeared before their eyes, like floating threads. The entire villa was enveloped in these purple threads, giving it an eerie appearance.
However, Lin Qiansheng didn't sense any danger from it, which was a good thing. "Wait a minute."
Lin Qiansheng used his magic to create a grasping hand, seizing a wisp of purple aura and carefully sensing it.
"This aura carries a sense of incompleteness and decay, as if it were an unfinished product that is gradually decaying." "It seems the situation inside the villa isn't very optimistic," Lin Qiansheng thought to himself.
After Lin Qiansheng's deliberation, the two arrived at the villa's entrance. The villa's doors opened automatically, and two rows of maids in white stockings stood to the side.
"Welcome home, Miss!" the maids said in unison, their voices slightly aloof. Lin Qiansheng, a man of the world, was naturally unfazed by such a display.
At this moment, the head maid walked over to the two of them and took the schoolbag from Hei Ba's hands.
However, her gaze swept over the arm of the man clinging to Lin Qiansheng. "Is the young lady getting a boyfriend?" the head maid, Takeyuko, secretly wondered.
Hei Paiba promptly introduced, "Sister Yuezi, this is my friend Lin Qiansheng. He saved me today, so I invited him to my home as a guest."
Takeda Etsuko placed her hands on her stomach and bowed slightly: "Hello, Mr. Lin, thank you for your help to Miss." "It was nothing." Lin Qiansheng waved his hand.
"Sister Yuezi, where is my mother? Has she come back?" Heiba asked.
"The team leader is back and is resting in the living room on the second floor," said Etsuko Takeda.
Hei Ba nodded slightly and smiled at Lin Qiansheng, saying, "Let's go, Qiansheng-kun, let's go upstairs to see my mother."
"it is good."
Lin Qiansheng followed Heixia Paiba through the maids and up the stairs to the second floor. With Lin Qiansheng's hearing, he could hear the maids whispering behind him.
Hearing comments like "The young lady smiled," "The young lady has a boyfriend," and "The young master seems like a good teacher," Lin Qiansheng smiled slightly and glanced around the room.
As expected of an organization that controls Nanpuan, the decor is exceptionally luxurious, exuding an air of extravagance everywhere.
However, Lin Qiansheng was most concerned about the purple aura. "Where exactly is the source of that purple aura?"
Lin Qiansheng tried to probe with his magic, but because the villa was filled with unusual auras, finding the source would consume too much magic, making it not worthwhile.
"But it feels like the sun is setting." The two quickly arrived at the living room on the second floor.
A kind-looking woman sat quietly reclining on a leather sofa in the spacious living room, a steaming cup of coffee on the table in front of her. "So this must be Blackthroat Rui," Lin Qiansheng thought to himself.
However, Lin Qiansheng didn't simply believe that someone capable of creating such a large organization would be as kind as they appeared on the surface. "Mom, I'm back," Hei Paiba said crisply.
Hei Rui slowly opened her eyes, and upon seeing her daughter, a faint smile appeared on her lips: "My good daughter is back." Then she turned her gaze to Lin Qiansheng, her eyes suddenly becoming sharp: "And who is this handsome young man?"
Lin Qiansheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Hello, Auntie. My name is Lin Qiansheng. I am here today at Ba's invitation."
Seeing that Lin Qiansheng showed no fear whatsoever, Hei Rui couldn't help but reveal a hint of admiration in his eyes. "A fine young man, and quite handsome too," Hei Rui thought to himself.
