All I Can Do Is Accept Your Challenge / Ling: Little Sisters, Why Do You Smell Like Perfume?

After all, the Catastrophe on Terra Master Huang nothing like the Catastrophe of ancient times.

In ancient times, the residences of nobles were mostly located in safe places, but the Originium Catastrophe doesn't care about that.

Even Mobile City, if it stays in one place for a long time, will eventually be hit in the face by the Cyber Ghost's stones.

If I act quickly enough, I can take them all down completely.

So this is an opportunity. The True Dragon must settle everything before he dies, leaving his crown prince with a foundation capable of creating a prosperous era.

Whether it's the new imperial examination system or the Industrial Revolution, Yan Country must become strong and not be weaker than any other country!

"Boss Huang succeeded! Everyone worked hard for half a year, and this year we'll pay you five years' worth of wages!"

Boss Ji's team had been eagerly anticipating it for a long time.

At the boss's command, hundreds of shipping ships, carrying grain transported from Utopia, set off in a grand procession towards the disaster-stricken area.

Its speed was even faster than the time it would take for True Dragon to reach the disaster area.

Its speed was so great that it True Dragon.

Good grief, they were probably already prepared, just waiting for me to jump.

However, the True Dragon was not angry; in fact, he was somewhat grateful, since Master Huang had told him that this disaster was 100% certain to happen.

Therefore, it is estimated that Yan Country would seek help from Utopia. Since it was already certain that they would seek help, they would naturally make arrangements in advance.

This actually reduced the amount of follow-up work for True Dragon, giving him more time to deal with the escaped powerful families.

This is why the Imperial Guards were brought out on patrol – to force them into complete submission through absolute military force.

If we eliminate these powerful clans, the industrialization of Yan Country will face far fewer problems in the future.

This will truly allow the benefits to be distributed to the general public.

A prosperous and strong nation is the best state for a country.

A nation's poverty coupled with its people's wealth can easily lead to warlordism, ultimately igniting a war of attrition.

A prosperous country with impoverished people is nothing more than a prosperous age of hunger; a single disaster can reshuffle the entire nation.

Chapter 391: All I can do is accept your challenge.

A few days later, the grain was distributed as expected. The presence of the True Dragon meant that the officials below had almost no opportunity to take kickbacks.

If anyone is found to have taken even a single grain of food, they will be immediately reunited with their entire family in the underworld.

The risks far outweigh the rewards, so naturally no one dares to do it.

Your life is your own, but your money belongs to others, and you might not even be able to escape with your entire family.

At worst, we can continue our underhanded operations after the True Dragon leaves; we're sure to make a lot of money anyway.

Once the disaster situation in the hinterland gradually stabilized, Master Huang, who was the provider of the food, naturally took the time to come here.

They also brought a lot of Utopian specialties, such as vegetables, to improve the meals of the people in the disaster-stricken areas.

Although this food distribution is a transaction and a business, there's nothing wrong with doing a good deed once in a while.

Master Huang is kind-hearted; no further explanation is needed.

"True Dragon, how have you been?"

When the grain was being distributed, Master Huang naturally arrived at the scene, with two stunningly beautiful women standing beside him.

Shu and Xi hooked their arms around his left and right, looking at their man with doting eyes.

The True Dragon couldn't help but purse its lips.

Being able to tame the Sui Beast is quite an achievement; even the officials under his command dare not look them in the eye.

As for the disaster victims below, they all said, "I just want to eat; I don't have time to admire handsome men and beautiful women."

"Master Huang is enjoying a peaceful life, even more comfortable than if I True Dragon."

True Dragon couldn't help but complain that his eyes were covered in dark circles from maintaining Order in the disaster area.

Why is the lord of Utopia so comfortable, while I'm exhausted every day?

With a beautiful woman by his side, a harmonious family, and successful officials, he enjoys great fortune.

Even though Utopia controls a much larger territory than Yan Country, with such a large population and vast land, Master Huang can still enjoy life as if he were strolling through the streets.

Why were there so many problems with his subordinates? Thinking about this, True Dragon suddenly felt a flush rise to his cheeks.

It's true what they say, comparisons are odious; this powder keg is just getting more and more difficult to manage.

But...

The True Dragon sighed; he truly didn't want to believe in the wisdom of future generations.

Therefore, in their own generation, the Yan Country must handle everything properly.

"The Yan Country's system has been in place for over a thousand years, while Utopia's history is less than three hundred years. Moreover, I laid the foundation for the system from the very beginning, so naturally I don't have these worries of yours."

Huang Cao was well aware of the sorrow in True Dragon's heart, but unfortunately, he had no chance to change things in this generation.

Revolutionizing oneself requires determination, and it doesn't necessarily lead to improvement; someone always has to bear the cost of trial and error.

Xi and Shu did not interrupt their conversation with their husband and the True Dragon. After spending some time together intimately, they took the gifts and went to find their eldest sister who was still on the mountain.

After everyone had left, Huang Cao glanced at the Imperial Guard beside him.

"You don't seem to be feeling well. How long have you been here?"

True Dragon's heart skipped a beat. Good heavens, could it be that he'd been seen through?

"Not good, early stage of Originium Infection." A bitter smile appeared on the lips of the Yan Country Emperor.

Because he was so approachable, he would personally be present every time food was distributed; of course, he wasn't just putting on a show.

After all, this was done to appease the public and warn the local bullies not to cause any trouble.

However, it is well known that after each Catastrophe, a large number of Originium Infection infected individuals are generated in the affected areas.

Theoretically, even if the intention is to comfort the common people, the True Dragon should at least stay in a glass jar, and proper isolation measures must be taken.

However, True Dragon did not do that. In any case, the crown prince had already been trained and was proficient in both literary and military arts. Even if he died outside, it would not have a significant impact on the political situation of Yan Country.

So, unsurprisingly, surrounded by a large group of infected individuals, the True Dragon contracted Originium Infection.

I had originally intended to keep it a secret, but I didn't expect the guy in front of me to see through it at a glance.

"Anyway, I'm over sixty years old, and I've lived enough in this life. Back when the late Former Emperor and Master Huang first reached an agreement, I was just born."

Looking at the boy before him, whose appearance had not changed at all, True Dragon felt a mix of emotions, but no regrets.

The Immortals before me is also a legend, having built the powerful nation of Utopia from scratch.

Utopia, the undisputed strongest nation on Terra, but its future is uncertain.

"My men just reported that your fleet is very fast. Almost on the first day after the reply, they had already brought their High-speed Battleship to the vicinity of Great Wilderness City, leaving no time to maneuver."

True Dragon led Master Huang to a small courtyard, where they drank tea and probed each other's intentions.

However, Master Huang is the kind of person who only attacks and doesn't defend. Except when he's plotting and scheming, he usually doesn't hide his true thoughts.

Because my intention is already very clear: I want to conquer the Yan Country.

True Dragon couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty, the King of Utopia, you truly possess the virtues of an ancient gentleman. If Ursus possessed the military strength of Utopia, they would probably have already attacked, giving Yan Country no chance to catch its breath."

"It's all because I'm kind-hearted."

Huang Cao smiled and said, "The main reason is that the situation in Yan Country isn't too bad. A large part of the reason we can have such a pleasant conversation is because you're not incompetent."

"Then I really have to thank myself." The True Dragon was speechless.

According to this guy, Utopia probably wanted to fight a long time ago, but just hadn't found a suitable reason.

The best time to conquer a country is when it is beset by internal and external troubles.

Strictly speaking, Gaul also perished due to internal and external troubles.

The defeat in the war caused the people to lose faith and ultimately submit to the rule of Utopia.

Master Huang did not implement a cultural castration strategy against Gaul. As long as he didn't delve into abstract matters, he wasn't actually that sensitive to cultural issues.

Because many cultures are similar, no country is built on chaos.

"If Utopia truly conquers Yan Country in the future, I will uproot the Yan Country's royal family and sweep them into the dustbin of history. However, as long as they are willing to submit, I will not completely exterminate them."

Despite Master Huang's declaration that was almost like a declaration of war, True Dragon remained remarkably calm.

At least for the current Yan Country, Utopia has no such plans.

Future generations will have their own fortunes; by the time war actually breaks out in the future, I won't even know how many years I'll have already died.

Worrying won't help; it's better to focus on doing your own thing first.

At least Utopia isn't Ursus or Victoria; look at the Gaul, they're doing just fine now.

"Dynastic changes are inevitable in history. If the Yan Country is indeed defeated by Utopia in the future, it is only because the True Dragon of that era did not do a good job. After all, the rules on Terra have always been like this."

The emperor took a sip of tea and continued, "The strong prey on the weak; there's nothing more to say. All I can do is accept your challenge."

Chapter 392: Order: My two sisters, why do you smell of perfume?

This land may be abstract, but it still contains many normal people.

As can be seen from the original plot, those who cause trouble internationally are likely to be quite intelligent, but their behavior may be somewhat abstract.

For example, the storyline in "The Crucible" where everyone is Sarkaz is too abstract.

After spending a few days in Yan Country, promising to keep the secret for True Dragon, he prepared to return.

But Huang Cao later learned of her sister's invitation, so she made a last-minute decision to stay at her house for a few days.

In your sister's own words. "Our whole family has been eating and drinking for free at Master Huang's house for so long, shouldn't we be allowed to treat them a few times?"

Theoretically speaking, it is indeed a matter of social interaction.

But dragons are never that simple.

On the night of his parting with True Dragon, Huang Cao followed the address and found a mountain peak that was not noticed by the world.

Without hesitation, Huang Cao stepped in, and instantly, as if he had taken an elevator, he reached the very top of the mountain in an astonishing speed.

"So there's a courtyard at the very top."

Through the thin mist, a classically elegant courtyard appeared before Huang Cao, from which occasional noisy sounds could be heard, the laughter of a young girl as melodious as silver bells.

Of course, this place is also a typical example of yin dominating yang, and even if it is built at a high place closer to the sun, it cannot change this fact.

The only man present was Master Huang.

As expected, the next scene would be a car crash, but unfortunately there are only two cars involved.

As the eldest sister, her position in the family is self-evident; she should be able to manage her two younger sisters well.

"Looks like I'll be able to have a good dinner tonight," Huang Cao thought to himself. Then, as soon as he opened the door, he found Little Xi Melon kneading dough with a rolling pin.

"My lord, you're back!" Shu and Xi said at the same time.

A happy smile appeared on Huang Cao's lips.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

But Ling, who was kneading dough next to him, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Good grief, they're showing off their love right here.

I am a dragon! Not Perro!

I'm not envious at all, and I would never eat it!

Although at first she subconsciously wanted to say the word "husband"...

However, Ling was still very happy, because at least she still had a good chance before she was sure of her own feelings.

After all, even his youngest sister has succeeded...

"Now that Master Huang is here, I can slack off, and you can take care of making dumplings."
