Dusk: How Could Such a Huge Cherry Explode? / Nian and Dusk Get a Faceful of Kung Fu Cabbage.

"Of course I'll pay you back! It's just that I'm a bit strapped for cash right now..."

Theresia's voice choked up abruptly, and she looked extremely embarrassed.

Lamian, who had already finished breakfast at her camp, ran over and saw the pink-haired one girl explaining how strapped for cash she was.

"I sent someone to deliver the medicine. That kind person is a good friend of both my husband and me. It was because of Ah Cao's reputation that we were able to get such a low price."

The two of them had originally planned to give it away for free if Theresia hadn't asked, but since she did, they decided to go through the proper procedures.

Of course, based on the basic moral principle of helping, the two decided not to make things difficult for the pink-haired one animal by charging it the selling price.

After all, it's not easy for them to fight a war, so there's no need to add insult to injury.

Finally, amidst Theresia's turbulent emotions, Lamian slowly uttered a number that was neither too large nor too small.

Upon hearing this number, the pink-haired one man in front of her finally felt relieved.

"Of course I'll pay it back. I'll find a way to raise the money after this war is over."

Theresia patted her chest and assured them, because if it really was that high, she might not be able to repay it.

Moreover, future wars will likely require even more medicine, and we might even need to rely on Mr. Huang Cao's friends' channels in the future.

It's really not a good thing to keep owing money and not pay it back; at least I can pay back this amount myself.

As an enlightened monarch, Theresia was not entirely ignorant of the situation abroad.

However, she is still unaware that Sargon has been swayed by someone alone, second only to neighboring countries.

Because the Blood Demon army blocked her access to information, Theresia was never aware that a Master Huang, capable of changing the world, was hiding in her territory.

But at least we know the prices of these medicines.

Nizere and Dukare: It feels so good to have a safety net. Even if the two princes mess things up, there will be someone to take over.

In the eyes of these two guys, Master Huang is the kind of superman who can be taken over in the future.

Previously, there was no choice, because one day this country might not have a future. Now, finally, there is someone who can take charge of the overall situation.

So even if things are completely ruined, someone will be in charge of handling the aftermath. All I need to do is stay calm and not cause any trouble for Master Huang.

In fact, many people are willing to follow Theresia because, disregarding reality, they believe that she can completely end the millennia-long cycle of Kazdel.

Even the King of the Scavengers, known as the God of War, was weary of the long-standing struggles, having abandoned all pretense of hatred. However, reality left them with no other choice but to follow this path.

Even though Master Huang wasn't Sarkaz people, he wasn't an enemy either, and he even married two Sarkaz women.

This means that Master Huang's future children will definitely have Sarkaz blood.

Due to Kazdel's unique inheritance mechanism, the one who becomes the Demon King is not necessarily a descendant of the previous Demon King.

As long as Master Huang manages to stay calm and doesn't suddenly die, it's not impossible for him to take over Kazdel in the name of the Sarkaz in the future.

The Blood Demon Lord believed that Master Huang's wife was also a Lord of the Royal Court, whose descendants were called Sarkaz, and that her bloodline was extremely pure. She even had a Blood Demon who was somewhat related to his own clan.

With this title, Dukare felt that his identity as Huang Cao was no longer a flaw.

Even if the person himself is not Sarkaz, his descendants will most likely be Sarkaz.

In any case, he convinced himself.

Dukare already knew about Sargon's situation, and he saw hope for the future in Master Huang.

It wasn't that Dukare looked down on Little T; on the contrary, he respected everything Little T did. It was just that he preferred his own ideal of Demon King.

Therefore, in the future, Big Te and Little Te broke apart and embarked on two different paths.

Dukare's choice of Datr was not a betrayal of Kazdel, but rather a choice to follow the will of the people and take the second path.

Dukare was very pleased with Huang Cao's relationship with Lamian and Warfarin; at least he had found a very good reason for himself.

Chapter 172 Xi: How could such a big cherry explode?

Let's return to Master Huang's perspective now.

In fact, besides disciplining the cats with a cat toy in its territory, Huang Cao was also dealing with its own personal matters.

For example, the cooperation with Yan Country.

It can only be said that Yan Country is indeed a country famous for farming, unlike Victoria's short-sightedness.

After learning from the previous lesson, the Great Yan became more cautious when it came to interests, and would never again introduce any strange or unusual things on a whim.

After all, everyone knows what's going on in the Great Wilderness City, so apart from the experimental planting in the Great Wilderness City, Master Huang's Seed were not promoted throughout the country.

In Shu's room, the desk was piled high with letters from Master Huang.

These are testimonies to the frequent exchanges between the two over the decades.

From major issues to minor ones, from international affairs to personal matters, hundreds of letters expressed that their friendship would never falter.

"Ms. Shu, please write another letter. The people of Yan Country cannot delay any longer."

The candle-bearer knelt on one knee, holding the emperor's edict in both hands, his face pleading with the young girl before him to have mercy.

"This year, floods have been continuous, and Catastrophe have been even more frequent..."

Shu sighed. How could she not know about the situation in Yan Country? After all, the number of people fleeing to Great Wilderness City for refuge was much, much greater than before.

Although the Great Wilderness City doesn't have a bumper harvest every year, thanks to her protection as a Great Beast, it's impossible for the harvest to be completely lost.

Floods, droughts, and even Catastrophe —not to mention now, even in the future when Mobile City are prevalent, all countries would fall into famine if they encountered these disasters.

Moreover, this was especially true in ancient Terra, where productivity was still underdeveloped.

At present, only Master Huang's territory is completely free from the problem of hunger.

If Huang Cao didn't have the Power of Abundance to promote its agricultural development, this guy would probably be worrying about food now.

Yan Country's intelligence network is very extensive, and they already knew that Master Huang was currently the most powerful grain trader in the entire Terra's land.

As for why the statement wasn't made public, it's mainly because many people subconsciously assume that those who sell grain don't pose much of a threat.

Arms dealers have a bigger reputation than grain dealers, and they sound even more intimidating.

This also implies something like wearing a sheep's skin.

However, the Yan Country was well aware of the importance of food to a country and had been trying to establish a good relationship with millet and Huang Cao through millet.

However, the results were minimal, and they even outlived a True Dragon.

The previous True Dragon has already passed away, and the new emperor has just sat on the throne when various natural disasters broke out in the country.

However, this doesn't mean the blame should be placed on the True Dragon, since this country basically has no belief in gods, and naturally there are no religions or other strange things.

Strictly speaking, due to special reasons, many countries have not developed mature religious systems. Even if they do, it basically means that the so-called God actually exists.

But even disregarding these external factors, whether there is a god or not, the people still need to be fed.

The official grain reserves of the Great Yan are currently sufficient, but no one can guarantee what the future holds.

Fortunately, apart from the domestic crisis, the foreign environment is relatively harmonious.

Ursus, to the north, also suffered an unprecedented famine a few years ago due to blizzards, which led to a sharp decline in the country's population.

Therefore, there is no opportunity to launch a war to ease domestic conflicts for the time being, but Yan Country will not let its people go hungry like Ursus did.

That's why they set their sights on Master Huang.

Especially after defeating Sargon, Huang Cao's reputation in the mind of the Yan Emperor had become equivalent to that of a monarch of a country, because the area he controlled was definitely not a small place.

Even excluding Victoria, Master Huang's territory is larger than Lateran and Kazdel combined, which is why the Emperor of Yan Country was able to come up with the plan to ask him for help.

Because this True Dragon clearly understands that only Huang Cao can save his people, and without involving so-called national interests.

Huang Cao has not yet officially declared his political identity, which means that this is not a transaction at the national level.

Transactions at the national level are far more complex than seeking help from other countries versus seeking help from an individual.

Furthermore, this matter could be suppressed, and the fact that a famine had broken out in the Great Yan could be concealed internationally, thus preventing certain countries from taking advantage of the situation.

"I'll try my best, but I don't know if that gentleman will respond."

While writing to Master Huang, Shu also wrote a letter to his younger brother, trying to alleviate the famine in the country through other means.

Ke Ji also said that he had given all his stored grain to disaster victims.

It would take at least a month for this letter to reach Kazdel, so the Great Yan government decided to use a more radical approach.

And they even mobilized the Old Heavenly Master, who, through Nian, summoned Xi, who was still staying at home.

The reason is that over the decades of exchanges, both Huang Cao and Shu had exchanged gifts.

The former mostly sent Abundance Plants, while the latter mostly sent small, unique items belonging to their own siblings, such as paintings by Xi.

Not long after, at the unprecedented invitation of the Great Yan Dynasty, Xi and Nian came to the Great Wilderness City together.

"So you're going to get to Kazdel through my painting?"

Xi, who had been lifted up, looked at the crowd in front of her speechlessly.

It's not that I'm unwilling to help, but is it really necessary to throw cherries that could explode into my house?

It almost blew my house up.

"Little sister, I'm just thinking about the common people. We're all counting on your painting now."

He said, feigning seriousness.

But Xi shook her head and said, "I said this before I came. If it were Yan Country or somewhere else, my power could indeed reach them, but that place is Kazdel."

Spanning most of Terra, I'm not the Year itself, how could I possibly open a portal to get there?

"That's why the Old Heavenly Master arranged for you sisters to gather together."

The candle holder explained from the side.

"Huh? Aren't you afraid the Sui Beast will awaken if you do this?"

Xi was also bewildered by the actions of the Yan Emperor.

The candle-bearer said helplessly, "For the sake of the common people, this is a last resort. And through this passage, we can also quickly transfer the grain to the Great Wilderness City."

Although Xi Gua is terrified of Sui and is usually a coward, her older sister has already been called over, so there seems to be no room for her to refuse.

"Alright, in that case, let's begin now."

Xi used ink to construct a greatsword, and at the same time took out a landscape painting from her hand and threw it into the sky.

173

Chapter 173 Nian and Xi get their faces smeared with Kung Fu Cabbage.

"So, which of us should go? Or should we send someone from the Great Yan government?"

With the help of several Sui, the portal was finally opened.

Faced with the burning gazes of her two older sisters, Xi suddenly showed a slightly timid expression on her stunningly beautiful face.

Although I really want to get far away from Sui, going abroad is really unnecessary.

Normally, I don't even leave the house, so why would I go to such a far place to meet a stranger?

This is definitely beyond the scope of our business.

The candle holder said, "We do indeed want to meet Mr. Huang, but a sudden visit might cause some misunderstandings, and we don't know what Mr. Huang is doing now or where this painting is hanging."

It would be difficult to handle if some awkward situations occurred.

In the end, Shu took on the task, not only because her face looked like the kind that was easy to bully, but also because she knew Mr. Huang.

Over the decades of throwing small pieces of trash at each other, the two had long since come to know what the other looked like.

Of course, this only applies to headshots, the kind that you can recognize at a glance.

Before leaving, Shu left his weapons and a portion of his power in the Great Wilderness City to suppress the chaos underground.

It wouldn't be difficult for his sisters to suppress these things, but what if they got contaminated too...?

So I'll just have to do it myself.

However, as soon as he did that, Shu's complexion immediately turned a little pale, as if he hadn't slept for weeks.
