220 THE RARE CACTUS
"There is one last thing," Yun-Yun said, gesturing toward a set of tablets behind the Jade Throne.
"What are these?" Sujira asked, her curiosity was piqued.
"The strongest knowledge in the world," Yun-Yun replied. "Take a look and see what you make of it."
Sujira stepped forward, her eyes locking onto the ancient tablets. As she gazed at them, streams of magical knowledge surged into her mind. Though she did not unlock the ultimate secrets of the universe from the tablet, the Giga Codex, her own magic underwent a profound transformation.
When she finished, her body radiated an intense brilliance. Beams of light shot up from her form to the ceiling, signaling her newfound power.
"Did I just advance to the peak of Svad? So easily?" Sujira asked in disbelief, before leaping onto Leo and kissing him passionately.
"She's doing it shamelessly again to our husband," Petunia grumbled, crossing her arms in frustration.
"Soon, we will have a new sister," Yun-Yun said with a knowing smile.

[At Court La Mood]
"Are you serious? You killed Milwe and several dozen Cergontyn mages?" Megane asked in shock.
"They ambushed us on our way back," Bara replied.
"The Cergontyn family will not let this slide," Grangya added, her tone heavy with concern.
"What can they do? Fight us in Court La Mood? They can try," Bara said dismissively.
"What about me? I have a business to run. I can't stay here all the time," Megane said, frowning.
"We won't disrupt your busy schedule," Leo assured her. "We'll assign a strong guard for you." He pointed toward Grammers.
"Yes, I will protect Megane with my life," Grammers declared confidently. "I won't leave her side."
Megane blushed at his declaration, visibly satisfied with the arrangement.
"I'm still not convinced about the security," Grangya said, frowning. "Even though Grammers and his squadron have improved themselves with Body Transformation magic, they're not invincible, especially if the Cergontyns are determined to harm Megane."
Leo nodded thoughtfully. "But we can't force Megane to stay home all the time."
Grangya suddenly had an idea. "I can cast a tracking spell on her. It'll alert us to any danger or suspicious activity. If something happens, we can respond immediately."
Megane eyed her warily. "And where, exactly, are you putting this spell?"
Grangya smirked. "I just need to cast it on a part of your body. Any part will do."
Without hesitation, Megane unbuttoned the top of her blouse, revealing her chest. "Here," she said defiantly, glancing at Grammers.
Grammers quickly looked away, his face flushing red.
Grangya blinked, caught off guard. "What are you doing undressing? Bara isn't here to start an orgy," she joked, trying to regain composure.
"You said anywhere on my body," Megane shot back. "No one touches me here, so it's the safest place."
"That's not true," Grammers murmured, to everyone's shock and surprise.
Megane blushed deeply.
Grangya sighed, shaking her head. "Fine. Let's get this over with."
With a quick incantation, she placed the spell over Megane's chest. A faint glow of magic sank into her skin, and Megane buttoned her blouse back up.
Leo watched the exchange with a smirk. "We'll leave Megane's security and her breasts in your hands," he said to Grammers.
"Yes, sir," Grammers stammered, nearly choking on his words.
"Come on, Grammers, we have work to do," Megane said, motioning for him to follow. He quickly obeyed.
"What's her hurry?" Bara asked, appearing bemused.
Leo's smirk deepened. "She's got another human trial for 'Jaguar' scheduled… with Grammers."

[Tadelech Town- north of Sodom City]
Tadelech was a modest settlement nestled north of Sodom City.
It existed not for agriculture or industry but as a crucial trading outpost for merchants traveling from the northern parts of the continent—a land of endless deserts and breathtaking oases. The produce from the north was scarce yet highly valuable, often commanding steep prices in the middle continents.
Leo and Sujira had ventured to Tadelech on a mission.
As they entered the town, a group of spear-wielding warriors greeted them. These warriors, their dark skin painted with striking hues of red, yellow, and blue, were unmistakably from the Mugumbe tribe—a formidable clan renowned for controlling trade between the northern and middle continents.
Leo remained unfazed by their imposing presence, even if they numbered an army but their lustful gaze at Sujira irritated him.
"Why are they all looking at me?" Sujira asked.
"Because you are beautiful", Leo replied simply as she blushed at the comment.
Before long, the leader of the Mugumbe emerged—a tall, broad-shouldered man whose presence demanded attention.
"I've heard tales about you," he said with a low, gravelly voice. "They call you a demon with a large cock."
Leo smirked. "Chief Tibebu, they call me many things. Some even call me the Black Cock of Gomora. That part is true."
Tibebu laughed, a deep, booming sound that was quickly echoed by his men. "The Black Cock? I like that name. We have plenty of those here! Hahaha!"
"Yes, yes," Leo said, grinning slyly. "Perhaps one day we can exchange stories about them over a good fuck."
"I like you already, Demon Black Cock," Tibebu said, still chuckling. "But tell me, why seek me out personally? If it's trade, you could have sent a representative."
"I'm looking for a specific ingredient from the northern continent," Leo replied. "And I want exclusive rights to acquire it."
Tibebu's expression turned serious. "What ingredient?"
"The Golden Rat Tail."
The chief turned to his advisors, who whispered among themselves for a moment. After a brief discussion, he returned his gaze to Leo.
"We can secure a monopoly for you, but I must ask—why this particular cactus? It's rare yes but not known to hold much value."
Leo's smile didn't falter. "We have our secrets, Chief. I hope you'll understand."
Tibebu nodded. "Fair enough. We won't pry. It's just business. As for payment…" He trailed off, clearly contemplating the worth of such an exclusive arrangement.
"What about this girl", he pointed to Sujira jokingly.
