This Year Is a Good Year for Pregnancy~. My Little Swordfish~.

This guy named Huang Cao is really a piece of ironwood!

"Master, I'm an adult now."

This sentence prompted Ines to hint at it to this man countless times; even if he were completely dense, he should have been able to understand the implication.

And what did this guy say? "You're all just kids in my eyes."

It completely killed the conversation, and could even interrupt Ines's desires, forcing her to calm down for a while.

As for the countless "chance" romantic encounters she's had over the past six months, they're practically endless.

Thanks to the good food and drink they've had over the past six months, along with proper exercise, their bodies have fully matured, and their beauty and physique are top-tier on Terra's land.

Unfortunately, the Huang Cao family has no shortage of beautiful women, so they were unable to meet the girl's shy expression.

As always, he didn't choose to be a coward, because there was no way to break through his defenses.

Yes, Ines and Lan chose the least successful strategy without guidance from their predecessors.

Reserved, she tried to make the wood bloom with beauty and sincerity, and gave up using an axe.

If Shu were here right now, he would probably feel sorry for what the two of them did.

If the women in Master Huang's household had also chosen this method of arrangement, the bed in the former's bedroom would have been at least half the size.

Many of them were brought to the homes of predecessors like Warfarin and Kal'tsit, who discovered the weaknesses of this piece of wood and then focused on breaking through them.

These are all old guys who have lived for countless years; they can see through a person's heart in a very short time.

However, Huang Cao's two sheep apprentices are only just approaching nineteen years old.

A young girl's love is always hazy, shy, and like a budding flower.

Therefore, it is indeed understandable that they could not compete with Master Huang.

"Do you remember the wishes I told you about six months ago? What wishes do you want to fulfill? I can help you fulfill them, if necessary."

Ines thought for a moment and decided not to ask Master Huang to provide job opportunities, but to develop her career as a middleman and agent.

Lan proposed a channel where one could enjoy combat and also gain high social status and wealth through battle.

Huang Cao gave the two of them a direction for development without any hesitation:

"Ines can set up an intelligence or human resources company in Columbia, and I can provide initial funding. As for Lan, she can go to Kazimierz to participate in the Knight Championship. I will write you a letter of recommendation, and someone will be in charge of your participation at the location specified in the letter."

In less than a minute, Huang Cao had taken care of everything for the two of them.

Then it was time to say goodbye. After hugging the two of them and taking a picture, Huang Cao disappeared without a trace.

"Um, when are you leaving?" Ines asked.

After the main character disappears, the supporting characters will soon scatter like birds and beasts.

Lan had already packed her bags. "I'm leaving tonight. We've saved up quite a bit of money through assassination missions over the past six months; enough for my journey to Kazimierz."

"Ines, how is your Originium Infection?"

"Six months ago, I still had a dull ache, but now I feel nothing at all, as if I never had this disease." Ines also found it incredible, as she had originally thought she wouldn't live past thirty and would be finished because of this disease.

The result is that it's actually the same as not having it at all, and it's even easier than before when I didn't have it.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this is also Master Huang's doing, although he might not admit it."

Lan is the Caprini who respects Huang Cao the most among the two, and her feelings for the latter are mostly admiration and dependence.

Although she and Ines had created quite a few romantic encounters for a certain blockhead these days, Lan wasn't in a hurry; she considered it a treat for Master Huang.

More than establishing a relationship, Lan wanted to become a guardian, forever a strong support for Master Huang.

Of course, it would be even better if the shield could be properly maintained.

Ines watched the sunset gradually appear on the horizon. "Let's go. Terra is so vast. We don't know how many years it will be before we meet again. If one of us succeeds, we must not forget the other."

Lan: "Compared to that, your success rate is much higher than mine, after all, I'm not very good at expressing my feelings... although you're not much better than me."

The two hugged each other for a while, and after tidying up the villa, they went their separate ways.

And it's unknown how many years will pass before they meet again.

Ines is right.

Terra is truly vast. Even though her destination is Columbia, how could she, with virtually no communication capabilities, possibly obtain information about Master Huang?

The latter was traveling incognito.

Huang Cao walked very slowly when he wasn't in a hurry, so it took him a full month to reach the border near Columbia.

"At the end of 1067, this year did not seem to be a good year."

Huang Cao pitched a tent on the wasteland, gazing at the distant Columbia border.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this year will be Edward's death date.

Should we save them?

Although this dragon is a bit dim-witted, it's not a bad person in the strictest sense. Now, a certain black snake is probably all geared up and ready to cause some big trouble at any moment.

However, if Edward is rescued, there is a possibility that something unexpected might happen to his deployment in Ursus.

After all, according to his original plan, the future reforms in Ursus would need to be driven by Talulah and others, and then the Bear team would take over to see if they could make a name for themselves.

Talulah's role was to act as a pioneer, making a mess of Ursus and then completely shattering the existing social hierarchy.

Ursus is deeply entrenched in problems, and its situation is far more complex and difficult to change than that of Huang Cao's previous life.

Inner Guards is a major problem, and so is the Emperor's army.

The weapon of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons.

The individual combat strength of the Bear Gang is too low; any one of their Inner Guards could wipe them out.

Huang Cao ultimately chose to stand by and watch, still wanting to explore more possibilities.

"Never mind, everyone has their own destiny, this is Edward's fate too."

Sure enough, a few days later, after Huang Cao arrived at a wasteland in Columbia, he heard a message from Hedley, the manager of the Utopia Lungmen Bank:

Edward Atrias was personally beheaded by Wei Yanwu yesterday, and his body has been recovered. According to reliable sources, the reason for his execution was that Wei Yanwu's sister was pregnant with his child. Black Serpent used this opportunity to make a big fuss and force the former crown prince to kill his sworn brother.

"Edward, as a nobleman of Victoria, ultimately made a mistake. Without this child, Black Serpent would not have had any opportunity to take advantage of him."

The scribe emperor has been sitting on the edge of a volcano for so long; even if his information network isn't very efficient, the Black Serpent should have known by now.

After all, the accusation of colluding with foreign powers to seize the throne of Yan Country is not something that can be easily accepted.

Moreover, there is already substantial evidence, namely the child in Wei Yanwu's sister's womb.

The moment the True Dragon ascended the throne, the Black Serpent chose to launch its attack precisely when the entire Yan Country had learned of the so-called truth of the court, and some had even begun to guess at the vague truth.

They planned to use this opportunity to reinstate Wei Yanwu as emperor, since the deposed crown prince had not made any statement until now.

There was neither acknowledgment nor direct opposition.

This means that the explanations given by the True Dragon and the imperial court are both true and false.

If Victoria were to become involved at this time, even if the current True Dragon wanted to save his brother's life, he would have to eliminate the threat completely for the sake of Yan Country's peace.

Black Serpent's move can be described as a top-notch open strategy. If it can plunge Yan Country into internal strife at the cost of a Mobile City, it's a deal that's definitely worth it.

But unexpectedly, Edward suddenly changed his tune and ordered his own brother to kill him to show his loyalty to the court.

The black snake was dumbfounded; it never expected that this dragon would be so ferocious.

Wei Yanwu was heartbroken, but at the same time, he was determined to protect his sister's child, though he had to avoid suspicion.

At the same time, to put the current True Dragon at ease, Wei Yanwu's sister must find another person from the imperial court, because only in this way can Talulah survive.

"Poor woman, poor two children."

That's all Huang Cao can say about it.

Chapter 425: This year is a year of good pregnancy~. My Little Swordfish ~.

"Dear Master Huang, it's amazing that you would call me today. This is the second piece of good news I've heard in years."

"I bet the first piece of good news is that you killed Edward."

Huang Cao's voice was devoid of emotion, as he had almost no interaction with Edward.

The two had never even met, and this dragon wasn't qualified; in every respect, it was just Master Huang's pet.

"Master Huang's information network is truly impressive. This only happened two days ago, and you already know about it. Let me guess, you've heard howling winds over there, so it must be in the wilderness."

"Stop talking nonsense, I just wanted to scare you." Huang Cao's lips curled into a wicked smile.

The black snake on the other end of the phone, holding the Golden Tree, sensed something was wrong, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Master Huang, please don't joke. In truth, I only killed Edward, and I even lost all of Lungmen's territory. How can that compare to your intelligence and wisdom?"

No way? Could this guy really have guessed what my next move will be?

Is it really that scary?

As it turns out, Master Huang never disappoints anyone, whether man, woman, or even a god.

"Edward's descendants, the bloodline of the Yan Country princess, do I need to be clearer about that?"

The black snake fell silent, then immediately adopted a gritted-teeth expression:

"Sometimes I really want to pry open your head and see what's inside, who really is the immortal black serpent? I remember your wife didn't seem to give you the Black Crown, did she? Even if she did, we're now a hundred and eight thousand miles apart, how could she possibly see into my Remembrance?"

Even so, Black Snake's words remained very polite.

It had truly broken down; the snake felt as if no matter what it did, the man could predict its next move.

If it's not turned off, it's the same as not being turned on, right?

"Master Huang, please let me win this one round. Really, if I keep losing like this, I'm afraid I'll have to go begging in Utopia. Just give me this dragon. Your territory shouldn't be lacking in this Draco, right?"

"The war between Ukrainian and Kazakhstan is already a 50/50 victory for Ukrainian. My not participating in this war is already a favor to you."

"We haven't won a major victory yet. Although Ursus has won some small battles, it hasn't fully recovered its strength. Kazimierz is simply too small."

The Uka war was one of the few victories Ursus had achieved in recent years, giving the war machine a much-needed boost.

However, it would be false to say that Utopia was not involved, since Huang Cao took this opportunity to successfully invest his capital in Kazimierz's manufacturing industry and produce a large number of weapons.

Utopia Industries is now the leading conglomerate in Kazimierz, formerly known as Utopia Entertainment.

He had successfully squeezed into the ruling class and officially become an enemy of the Kazimierz knightly class and the capitalist class.

The reason Ursus has never been able to achieve big wins is precisely because Kazimierz has the industrial support of Utopia, which is why it has only been able to achieve small wins.

It is foreseeable that if the current Emperor of Ursus were to pass away, he would leave his descendants an unprecedented mess.

The original storyline already depicted a mess that couldn't be worse, and now with Utopia's interference, the situation has become even worse.

"Talulah, this child's name is Talulah Atrias," Huang Cao said.

"It sounds like a girl's name, how did you even know that?"

The black snake felt a pang of fear, fearing that even Edward, on his deathbed, might not have known whether his offspring would be a boy or a girl.

Is it your child or Edward's child?

"I can make a deal with you. There's a Black Coffin somewhere in Chernobog. Bring it to me, and I'll stop worrying about Talulah."

"Another remnant of Pre-Civilization? I'm afraid I can't agree to that..." Black hesitated, but the man on the other end of the phone wouldn't give it any chance to hesitate.

"Very well, I'll take Talulah away after she's born!"

"No, no, no, I promise you, Master Huang! By the way, where is the Black Coffin? I'll dig it up and give it to you right now. Chernobog is the territory of Boris, and I have some connections with him."

After thinking for a moment, Black Snake decided to agree to Master Huang's request, mainly because the other party's methods were simply too frightening.

If they really wanted the Black Coffin, they could have simply sent High-speed Battleship to seize it by force, without even risking being discovered.

However, Master Huang revealed the existence of the Black Coffin himself, which suggests only one possibility: this so-called civilization and its usefulness to Utopia are not significant, and he may simply want to acquire it for research.

If it were truly of great importance, this guy shouldn't be so casual.

In short, after a brainstorming session, Black Snake reluctantly agreed.

Because Talulah's plans for the future are so important, they are the key to Ursus's restart, and no mistakes can be tolerated.

Because the current Emperor of Ursus's health is deteriorating, he may not live for many more years.
