Lan and Ines: Is he the Master or Master Huang?

This was undoubtedly a complete treatment.

Even the wounds Lan had sustained from competing with wild animals for food disappeared completely after being soaked.

But the scrubbing I just did was so embarrassing, I kept pushing the boundaries.

Good news: It really was just a casual interaction.

Bad news: I rubbed it a little too hard, and it rubbed all the fur off.

Caprini instantly transformed into the sacred beast Caprini, even its previously dry hair became incredibly soft.

Ines: "It's alright, I've been through what you've been through. We're practically sisters in arms. Let's put your clothes on first."

After changing into maid outfits, the two walked out of the bathroom.

"Now that the washing is done, it's time for me to keep my promise."

Huang Cao looked at the two sheep maids who came out of the bathroom and nodded in satisfaction.

"I will naturally keep my promises. While my moral bottom line is flexible, it doesn't mean I'm untrustworthy."

Huang Cao had already started using these two sheep as a spice of his trip, and also to indulge his passion for being a chef.

After saying that, he handed another white card from his pocket to Lan.

"Formal training will begin tomorrow. You guys can have some fun at this hotel today. Ines, you treat your new junior to a good meal. I saw her staring intently at the bread on the shelves on the way here."

Lan stuffed the seemingly luxurious white card into the maid's hidden pocket and swallowed hard.

I'm so hungry right now!

If this guy in front of me really is a traitor, I'd better eat my fill before I get sold out!

Afterwards, Lan channeled all her anxiety into her appetite, and took the White Empress's card downstairs to start spending lavishly.

Moreover, they completely disregard the opinions of other travelers and the etiquette of dining.

After all, nobody likes wearing a napkin.

The sausages and ham were displayed in a frenzy, and Lan was practically a gluttonous eater on the verge of starvation; even being a reincarnated starving ghost would be an understatement.

Ines had never seen anyone eat so much before. Could she really be a martial arts prodigy?

Actually, on her first day at the hotel, Ines also ate and drank to her heart's content, although she felt that none of the food tasted as good as what Huang Cao had grown herself.

But its strength lies in its complex and diverse flavors, which constantly bring a sense of novelty, so it's easy to overindulge.

That evening, Ines helped Lan, whose belly was now round and swollen, back to their room.

"Overeating is unhealthy. I'll limit your food intake when training starts tomorrow. But don't worry, you'll be full, but not this much."

Huang Cao had Ines untie Lan's maid dress, and her belly immediately popped out. To be honest, if she hadn't taken a bath beforehand, she would have burst her stomach from eating so much.

Even so, Lan, who had just drunk a lot of fine wine, felt somewhat unwell and kept groaning in pain in her sleep.

Huang Cao gently tapped Lan's bulging belly with her hand, using her Power of Abundance to aid the girl's digestion.

Lan's stomach rapidly digested the food it contained, and every cell in her body seemed to be cheering with joy.

However, in order to teach the girl a lesson, Huang Cao did not let her recover from the discomfort of being drunk, and took measures to prevent her from vomiting.

"Take good care of her. I'll go prepare the teaching materials you two will need tomorrow, and while I'm at it, I'll buy a house nearby to use as a training facility."

Are you going out again tonight?

"When do I not go out at night?"

Just as Huang Cao was about to remove his hand from Lan's belly, he noticed that the fragile girl was actually holding her right hand with both hands.

"Don't leave me, Mom... I've learned Originium Arts."

Ines looked down at Lan, who seemed to be having a nightmare even in her sleep, and then poked the man next to her.

"Why don't you stay with us tonight? It won't stop you from going out and finding other women."

"What do you mean by 'looking for women outside'? They're all your master's wives!"

"I understand. At her age, she does need the company of eldest sister, but right now she needs you. Besides, we can still grow up a lot more."

"First of all, I didn't go out to find women, but I really wanted to buy a house for you guys to live in... Never mind, whatever, I can't be bothered to explain."

Huang Cao has never been good at explaining things to women. Isn't it just about holding hands and sitting by the bed all night?

Since the work on Utopia isn't finished yet, we'll just consider it a change of office location.

Huang Cao unbuttoned her black robe, revealing a fitted shirt underneath, but Ines narrowed her eyes.

It seems that its cheap owner is actually a bit smaller than it remembered.

At first glance, he does seem like the type who's easy to bully.

Although this guy is only slightly taller than me.

However, she was even thinner than I was. Ines's health has now recovered significantly, and her weight has reached around 90 pounds.

She's just lacking a little muscle, and besides, in the story she's portrayed as a somewhat muscular and beautiful young woman, so her physique definitely doesn't qualify her as a teenage girl.

Huang Cao gestured for Ines to turn off the light, then let the two sheep lie down on the same bed, while she moved a chair next to them and closed her eyes.

"I thought you'd try to take advantage of both of us at this time, but I didn't expect you to be such a gentleman."

Ines faced Lan in the darkness, but was actually speaking to the man beside her.

"First of all, you're not considered pretty in my eyes. My wives are much prettier than you. And don't doubt my principles; I prefer mature women. You two are still too young. Don't be too confident in your looks, or you'll be very disappointed."

Two immature girls dare to argue with me, Master Huang? Let them continue eating meat for a few more years before they talk!

Someone's words left Ines speechless.

Even according to her imagined scenario, Huang Cao should have immediately become a beast and forced her way to the two of them so that she could observe the man up close.

Then, at night, he would try to win her favor again, hoping to avoid being abandoned in the future.

To my surprise, this guy was so clueless about romance, like a block of wood.

And she fell asleep so quickly, she stopped talking all of a sudden.

Meanwhile, Huang Cao: "Let's continue the meeting. Utopia's future development plan, Dukare! Stop fiddling with your computer!"

A peaceful and gentle night has passed.

After Lan hiccuped, she woke up slightly and opened her eyes to see Ines's icy face.

"Is it the sense of security she gives me?" Just as Lan was feeling touched, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be holding something in front of her chest.

These are slender and beautiful hands, yet they can give people boundless peace of mind even in their sleep.

"He..." Lan wanted to let go of his hand, but a warm feeling welled up inside her, as if her parents still loved her.

The warmth from that hand left the blonde girl momentarily dazed.

Lan was not abandoned at birth, otherwise she would not have survived to this day. At least before the age of five, she had a reasonably good childhood.

Although she was still hungry during this time, her family loved her very much.

Until one day they discovered that Lan was unable to use any Originium Arts, and even with the staff, it was extremely difficult to operate.

And so, the nightmare began.

Lan felt she had no value in life, so why was this guy named Huang Cao treating her so gently?

The gold coins I spent on feasting and drinking yesterday could buy countless versions of myself at the slave market.

"Don't measure your worth in gold coins, and don't believe those who say you can buy several slaves with a few gold coins. Objectifying yourself is often the beginning of your downfall. Your life is in your own hands."

"From today onward, you must be strong. Until you truly possess strength, you need not worry about storms and snow; I will always be there to support you."

Huang Cao gently wiped away the tears from Lan's eyes with his hand, then hugged her tightly with his tender embrace.

Ines:...

Chapter 413: Lan and Ines: Master or Master Huang?

Wait, what's making my heart clench?

A feeling welled up in Ines's heart that her beloved toy had been taken away by someone else, and it seemed like she was the one who got there first.

Why did you two hug first?

"Master, I think it's time to start the training program. We need to become stronger faster so we can help you."

"That's right, come on, you all need to get involved in these things eventually."

Huang Cao pulled her hand out of Lan's embrace.

Goodness, that little girl is pretty strong; she almost kicked my clothes open.

"Master... may I call you that?"

Only sincerity can win sincerity. Lan looked up at the boy and asked expectantly.

Huang Cao placed her right hand on the head of the large golden sheep. "Of course. From today onwards, you will be my maids, along with my apprentices. I will teach you the ability to fight against injustice."

In reality, Huang Cao had no intention of taking Lan as her maid, but since Lan had already addressed her as "master," it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse.

So let's just accept it.

Four sheep maids would be nice too, the more the merrier.

Lan lowered her head to enjoy her owner's stroking, occasionally letting out a few purring sounds, just like when you're petting a cat's head.

Click.

Ines so angry she was practically grinding her teeth to powder. She stopped hugging him and started patting his head instead.

Don't you have another hand?

Where is your left hand?

Can't you see there's another sheep over there? Are you blind?

Perhaps because someone's gaze was too sharp, Huang Cao ruffled Lan's blonde hair hard before letting go.

The future golden lion is now enjoying himself under his own hands, and he is very docile.

This is simply enjoyable!

Huang Cao was satisfied. After putting on the mask, he led the two sheep to the sales office.

However, for some unknown reason, his hands were constantly surrounded by Lan and Ines, making it somewhat inconvenient for him to walk.

But Huang Cao, who has lived for nearly two hundred years, has amazing patience, and besides, the two sheep's behavior is not annoying, and they are very quiet along the way.

"Give me the largest suburban villa in terms of land area." Huang Cao slapped his card in front of the salesperson without any hesitation.

Pay the money, get the land deed, and then move in with your bags.

The speed was astonishing, and the figures on the bill truly tested Lan's mathematical aptitude.

Even if I ate and drank to my heart's content every day and became a fat sheep, I still couldn't spend all these gold coins in ten lifetimes.

This guy is incredibly rich!

Ines was also shocked, but she managed to keep her expression relatively composed.

Well, at least I don't have to worry about starving to death. Besides, who exactly is this guy?

The two hadn't even seen their cheap owner's family in the past few days. Could he be a leisurely nobleman?

But now the nobles aren't living very well either, and they're afraid of being used as examples by the Witch King, so how could they dare to spend like this?

"Move in with your bags ready!"

The three got into the car and sped off, soon arriving at a villa estate located in the countryside.

The manor has a long history, at least over a hundred years.

However, it is well maintained overall, and the original owner of the estate would regularly arrange for people to clean it.

However, when Huang Cao purchased the estate, he discovered that it had previously had five owners.

The former owner of this manor was the Black and White Monarchs are currently quite famous in the political arena.

The recent excessive spending had naturally caught the attention of the Black and White Monarchs, but they were mostly pleased.

They even wished they could push away all the dazzling banquets and rush to Huang Cao's arms to beg for a caress.
