He Still Likes Maids So Much
Huang Cao lifted the back of the black sheep's collar and found that her physical condition was not good and she needed to be properly nourished.
While it's possible to forcibly infuse it with the Power of Abundance, there's no need for that.
It's better to play a simulation game and add some unique fun to a boring journey.
"You can call me Master, but as my maid, you'd better call me Master Huang."
In the end Ines was forced to call him Master Huang, and Huang Cao removed his mask in front of her.
"I never expected you to be so young. Why are you wandering in the wilderness?" Ines was shocked by the boy's beauty and age.
Huang Cao wasn't exactly clean either; his clothes were already covered in sand and dust.
"Who said I'm wandering? I'm just traveling. Besides, you obviously don't watch the news often."
Although Huang Cao's body is young, her appearance hasn't changed much, making her easy to recognize.
However, it's clear that Ines didn't pay much attention to international news when her life was better before, and she had even less opportunity after becoming infected and being arrested.
Therefore, she was unaware of who Leithanian's officially proclaimed greatest enemy actually was.
"Alright, judging from your blank look, you probably don't like international politics. Just assume I have extensive connections in various countries."
"I bet this person doesn't have good connections."
"It's a 50/50 situation. Some countries are great, while others would love to chop me into mincemeat."
Huang Cao used her powers to grow a large amount of food from the ground, and then cooked it in front of Ines.
Where does salt come from?
"Extracted from the ground."
"Not all inorganic salts are edible, Master Huang. Haven't you studied chemistry?"
Huang Cao rolled her eyes. "Otherwise, you're using your shallow knowledge to doubt my integrity. When I was studying chemistry, your grandmother hadn't even been born yet. The salt I extract is sodium chloride. Just consider this my Originium Arts. And if you don't gain weight in the next few months, you probably won't be able to learn the spells on my body."
Huang Cao made a simple meal of hand-grabbed rice with simple ingredients. Although it was all made from plants, the taste was in no way inferior to meat dishes made from wild game.
Or, in other words, food made from plants is less affected by the pungent smell of wild animals.
This saves a lot of effort in preparing seasonings, but Ines still needs to eat some meat.
It just so happens that Master Huang has never hunted before.
Huang Cao has already planned her itinerary for the next few days; it's a journey of self-cultivation.
Find inner peace in nature and give your body a long break.
Although I still have to deal with national work every night before going to bed, my mental state is indeed much better than before.
"Master Huang, don't you think we need a tent?"
Ines said, "After taking off all my clothes and burying myself in the sand."
While this is indeed a good way to rest in the wilderness, it's perhaps a bit too simplistic.
Even when she was locked in a cage a week ago, at least she had a place to shelter from the wind.
"I think this is great; connecting with the earth—what a meaningful spiritual practice."
"That's what Master Huang, who was also buried in the sand, said."
After all, it is a plant, and this dormancy method is indeed very comfortable for it.
Ines had no choice but to fall asleep while gazing at the boy's handsome face.
He's certainly handsome, but he's a bit mentally unstable. He's dressed like an aristocrat, so why would he go and suffer in the wilderness?
Although it might seem a bit sordid to think that way, after spending the last few days with him, Ines discovered that this man's daily life was very simple and that he was extremely gentlemanly towards women.
Although she sometimes looked at her own body with a strange gaze, Ines had only ever seen that gaze from one profession: tailor.
"What a strange person."
Ines had no regrets about following this strange man, because she keenly sensed that this might be her chance to turn her life around.
An infected person, an infected person from Leithanian.
Unable to find a place to belong anywhere, neither high nor low.
If this were Kazdel in the past, Ines felt that she could indeed make a living in this country as an infected person.
However, Kazdel is now under the jurisdiction of Utopia, completely eliminating the possibility of immigration unless through marriage or blood ties...
As for making significant contributions... Ines felt that if she left Master Huang now, she would probably starve to death in this desert not long afterward.
This was her own choice; she gambled her freedom on someone else.
Even if she ate something, it wouldn't be a big deal, let alone check her body, although Ines hadn't thought of that.
After all, who would have any ulterior motives towards an infected person?
Are you out of your mind?
It was another morning, and the Huang Cao was gently awakened by the dew in the desert.
As I got up, I casually lifted the little lamb that was still buried in the sand.
"Master Huang, I would be even more grateful if you could respect my privacy."
Ines put on the clothes that were placed beside her, including her underwear.
Being buried in the sand was already unpleasant, but wearing clothes made it even worse.
"I'll be more careful next time, but setting up a tent is definitely something I can handle, just because I can doesn't mean you can."
Huang Cao hung the mask around his waist and began to gradually regain some of the knowledge he had lost in the past.
The women in the family are all Terra Superman; they can play all sorts of tricks without any problems, after all, they are the most powerful healers on Terra's land.
Even if they die, they can be resurrected through impure world.
Because the Huang Cao was at home, the women's clothes would most likely disappear within a day, depending on their mood.
This doesn't mean that Shu and the others don't do anything productive every day; rather, they usually take turns doing things together, and only have tea parties together during holidays.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Huang Cao has gradually lost the ability to live like an ordinary person, and only her values are still relatively normal.
Huang Cao felt that given her past behavior, if she were to have children in the future, there would likely be significant problems with their education.
It's entirely possible that a melodramatic plot similar to "War General" could actually happen, and more importantly, Utopia really does have plans for a grand expedition in the future.
This is a bit like hell.
Chapter 408: He still loves maids so much
"Master Huang, what are you thinking about? Are you planning to sell me for money?" Ines asked, biting into her plant-based bread, her voice tinged with fear.
Did Ines understand fear?
That's interesting, but I Master Huang, am not a bad person.
Huang Cao sprouted plant tentacles from its body and smacked the black sheep on the head.
"Don't think like that. If I really wanted to sell you all, I wouldn't need to save you. I'm not short of money."
Ines thought about it for a while and finally accepted the fact that the other person was a rich man.
Even though they don't have more than a silver coin to their name for the journey.
But what if... what if this man is a rich young master who ran away from home?
He thought he could make a name for himself by relying on his abilities.
Two weeks later.
The two traveled together to Leithanian.
As they approached the city, Huang Cao finally decided to build a tent first, because if things continued like this, Ines would become a beggar.
It's time to let this sheep rest for a while.
That evening, Ines finally had the opportunity to tidy up her appearance, which would soon become her funeral attire.
Women always like to dress themselves up, and even the expressionless Ines is no exception.
Since Master Huang only brought one set of clothes with him when he went out, the clothes that belonged to Master Huang on Ines had long been worn out after the long journey.
You can't expect the environment in the wilderness to be smooth; it's quite common for a rock to suddenly fall from the sky while you're walking.
"Master Huang ..." Ines washed the dust off her face with water and asked the man for his opinion again.
"No rush. Your weight has changed since half a month ago, but it's still not that much. My Originium Arts require a certain level of physical fitness to support them, so we can't rush it."
Ines pursed her lips and remained silent.
Huang Cao shook his head and explained, "I know you want to quickly gain power and the ability to protect yourself, but some things are better left unattended if you rush them. The most important thing is to calm your mind and properly feel the changes in your body."
"With me here, no one can hurt you, so you must first know how to live before you can learn my power."
"Will you leave me? And why did you suddenly leave a few days ago? I looked for you for so long..." Ines asked.
Huang Cao answered frankly, "All good things must come to an end. I have my own journey, and you have your own pursuits. I only saved you on a whim for certain reasons. Once you are truly saved, my journey should also come to an end."
"As for my sudden departure a few days ago, I already told you. I have to go out to take care of some things every week. Didn't I come back later?"
After all, it had already been agreed that the women in the family would go back every seven days to replenish their energy.
As a real man, Huang Cao couldn't break his promise on something like this.
"I'll take you to change into a new outfit tomorrow. We've been wandering in the wilderness for so long, it's time to enjoy life."
Huang Cao opened her backpack and took out a maid outfit.
"This is?"
Ines picked up the maid outfit, a bad feeling welling up inside her.
"Master Huang, you wouldn't expect me to wear this into town, would you?"
"You are my maid, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to do this."
Ines was speechless. She had spoken too soon; now she really was a bed warmer.
"We're still two days away from the city, and I don't have any clean clothes for you to change into now."
Ines examined the maid outfits that Master Huang had brought back and found that the style was quite proper, with a very strong Leithanian character, and there was no excessive exposure.
It'll probably be very hot, but at least I won't feel ashamed to wear it.
Moreover, the stitches are particularly elegant, clearly the work of a very experienced tailor.
Actually, Theresia sewed this maid outfit on the spot, and she even specially studied the clothing style of Leithanian for it.
Lying on the soft haystack, Ines looked at the green leaf tent above her head and listened to the unhurried breathing of the man beside her.
Suddenly, she felt as if her life was drifting in a daze, as if it were heading in an unpredictable direction.
Suddenly, a sense of unease welled up inside him. He had a feeling that Huang Cao had come to Leithanian to see someone he knew—could it be someone from his family?
Would the boy's family agree to her becoming his maid?
Ines had long regarded Huang Cao as a noble young master who was venturing out on his own. Although he was not quite normal, he was at least kind.
Such people often don't have much say in their families.
"A lifeline..." Ines murmured to herself, then curled up and fell asleep.
The next morning, after washing up and changing into women's clothing, Ines finally revealed her original beauty.
Huang Cao: "Not bad, not bad at all. It's really worth feeding you whitening foods these past few days. Isn't this a pretty little lamb?"
"No wonder I felt my body had become paler these past few days. It wasn't just my imagination, Master Huang. With this ability alone, you're highly sought after in the wealthy circles of Leithanian."
Well, she's really hooked up with sugar daddy this time.
Ines could already envision her wonderful future, as long as this guy could stay normal.
Huang Cao pulled out their identification cards from his pocket, which would allow them free access to almost anywhere in Leithanian.
"The Elector's token, Master Huang, how did you get your hands on it?"
Ines stared at the medal in her hand with an almost incredulous look.
They initially thought the other party was just an heir from a minor noble family, but they never expected that he would be involved with the Elector.
