Blessed by Abundance, Scourge of Terra

It was easy to defend but hard to attack.

"Sister Lamian, welcome to my castle."

"As the owner here, I sincerely invite you to stay at my house for a few days."

"Then I will gratefully accept your invitation."

Lamian lifted her skirt and pushed open the castle's main gate.

She also wanted to stay here for a few days, to fully experience a feeling completely different from the Banshee River Valley.

Perhaps it was due to the reduced Originium content in the air, but Lamian had only felt comfortable since entering Eden, as if she were in a hot spring during winter.

The air was sweet, and that was by no means an exaggeration here.

"Welcome, Lamian, to my castle. I am the mistress of this place, and this is Silke, a servant in the castle."

As a devoted family man, Huang Cao had already spoken with Warfarin before inviting Lamian to his territory.

"What a beautiful and lovely girl, Huang Cao, you must treat her well."

Lamian smiled gently, and at the same time, she took out a necklace that looked incredibly valuable from her pocket and placed it on Warfarin's fair neck.

"This is too precious."

"It's alright. Huang Cao stayed in the Banshee River Valley for a while and helped us a lot during that time. This is a token of gratitude for his assistance."

Looking at the gentle woman before her, Warfarin's last trace of worry vanished without a trace.

Perhaps it was the first time she felt love. As a Blood Demon, she was very sensitive to many things.

Warfarin had just felt that compared to Lamian, her own appearance and figure were not perfect enough.

She even worried that her treasure would be snatched away.

But it wasn't until she met this woman that she realized how narrow-minded she had been.

She was the dignified Lord of the Royal Court, how could she possibly compete with her for anything?

They were simply friends.

Looking at it this way, Lamian probably saw Acao as a junior.

Actually, a certain Blood Demon forgot that Huang Cao had told her his age more than once.

Warfarin's age was enough to make her his ancestor, so in a sense, this Blood Demon was like an old cow eating young grass.

Perhaps it was due to her long life and her excellent mindset.

From the moment they met until she was "taken care of," Warfarin had always regarded Huang Cao as her peer.

Huang Cao couldn't interject in the conversation between the women, so he simply walked aside with Kal'tsit.

However, rather than saying "aside," it was more accurate to say that the two of them had entered a secluded room with excellent soundproofing.

"Miss Silke, you've worked hard recently. Take this bag of gold coins for your travel expenses."

"Master, what do you mean by this? And you said my name was difficult to pronounce, didn't you?"

Kal'tsit asked, feigning ignorance, while also putting on a pitiful expression.

Huang Cao really wanted to take a picture of Kal'tsit's pretentious act. After all, she always looked serious, and it was rare to see her so lively.

Shaking his head, the young man flashed forward and instantly removed the veil from Kal'tsit's face.

"Should I call you Miss Silke or Commander Kal'tsit? We've been together for so long, there's no need to be so secretive."

"Since you've said so, I don't want to continue this boring game anymore."

After they both understood each other, Kal'tsit's voice lost its pretense.

The voice she had adopted to make herself more lively instantly reverted to the character's usual flat tone.

"What, did you get the answers you wanted here?"

"If I had a microscope and tools that could destroy that tree, I think there would have been progress by now."

"I'm asking what you got from the bedsheet in my room."

Kal'tsit was rendered speechless, her expression somewhat awkward.

She couldn't possibly say that she had deliberately changed the bedsheet to collect genetic fragments.

Since she couldn't collect biological samples from the Golden Tree, she could only indirectly use this young man's genes for an experiment.

And because Huang Cao was naturally vigilant and had a normal lifestyle, there were no stories of evil nobles forcing cat-eared maids to give him baths.

After much thought, Kal'tsit realized that the only opportunity to obtain experimental material was that night.

"I admit that your abilities in that regard are indeed admirable, and I wish to understand more about you."

Recalling the night Huang Cao and Warfarin were intimate, Kal'tsit felt pain from her lack of sleep that day.

But how did this guy know that she had secretly changed the bedsheet?

As for blushing, Kal'tsit had more outrageous remarks in her mind that could make the young man before her retreat.

She could even disgust him, the only question was whether she was willing to.

Huang Cao: "...Isn't that just a thing? I didn't expect you to care about saving face."

Kal'tsit's lips curved into a pixelated smile: "Then, sir, what do you require me to do with your bedsheets?"

"Just speak normally," Huang Cao shivered. That old woman's words really had a certain something.

His face was thick enough; after all, as long as he wasn't embarrassed, anyone else would be.

"Fortunately, you're not foolish," Kal'tsit's beautiful brow relaxed.

After all, it was better not to say the outrageous lines she had just thought of. If she had, her old face would truly be on the ground.

"Why are you even insulting me?" Huang Cao pouted helplessly. "By the way, what have you researched? Let me see."

"Nothing, because of the contamination..."

As for why it was contaminated, that would have to be asked of the other protagonist besides the two in the room.

Of course, she didn't directly reveal that Huang Cao's genes were different from normal Sarkaz.

Sorry for the late update, I spent all day writing my thesis and I'm almost numb~ 3

Chapter 58: Seeds Will Always Grow into Trees

"Kal'tsit, what exactly are you pursuing? What kind of will can support you, an Immortal, to wander this land for such a long time?"

"You woman, you truly make me feel mysterious."

"And are you truly all-knowing? I'm very curious."

Kal'tsit really wanted to say "I'm all-knowing" right now, but if she did, she'd be proven wrong in the next second.

Huang Cao might just ask: What will my future child's name be?

How could this cat answer that?

So, the people Kal'tsit had met before were too serious. If she had met someone more jovial, who knows what might have happened.

"Take it. I've heard of your deeds. If you spend this money sparingly, it will be enough for over ten years of expenses."

We still don't know what treasures Kal'tsit had hidden during her thirty thousand years of life.

In the Rhodes Island storyline, she was almost bankrupt, yet this cat wouldn't even take out an antique to help with cash flow.

Unless this cat simply didn't have the concept of saving money.

"Although I don't need this, I appreciate your kindness."

While Kal'tsit said she didn't need it, she still dutifully hung the money bag on her waist.

Nonsense, who would ever say no to more money?

Even if this cat didn't care about these external possessions, when traveling the land, someone always needed to help.

Money could solve many problems.

"Where are you going next?" Huang Cao asked curiously, expecting a different answer.

Unfortunately, the course of history wouldn't change with his words, unless Huang Cao, like in unofficial histories, locked Kal'tsit in a small dark room.

"I will continue to walk this land of Kazdel, to see if this race has learned from its destruction."

"A very proud thought."

It happened after all...

If nothing unexpected happened, in a few years, Kal'tsit would eventually meet Theresia.

It was hard to say if Kal'tsit charmed Theresia, because these two were like stand users, possessing an innate mutual attraction.

They ended up drawing each other into the ditch without even realizing it.

"To quote a philosopher's story: When you look up at the stars, please also look at the ground beneath your feet," Huang Cao could only say this.

The gears of history were about to turn, and Huang Cao already had a plan to deal with it.

However, at this point, no matter what, he couldn't change the future that was about to happen.

Besides investing more energy into developing his territory, his castle should also be reasonably expanded when the first High-speed Battleship was built.

He hoped this land wouldn't reach its development limit too quickly; it needed to last at least until the Four Emperors' War.

Huang Cao had been coveting this historical node for a very, very long time. After all, every country had taken a large chunk of meat from Gaul.

Kazdel did not participate in the war, but just because Big T and Small T didn't participate didn't mean Huang Cao wasn't going to interfere.

Especially on Victoria's side, the Four Emperors' War was partly driven by Victoria's new nobles.

It was precisely because the profits after the Four Emperors' War had fully satisfied these new nobles that they gained the right to judge the king.

And these people now trusted him implicitly...

The Four Emperors' War might become a Five Emperors' War in the future.

"I didn't expect it to be so rich."

Lamian sat on the soft sofa with her full and firm hips, instantly exuding the charm of a noblewoman.

When she learned from Warfarin that the sofa was worth a thousand gold coins, she was truly startled.

Was this sofa made of gold or silver?

Lamian felt that while the castle's size was indeed small compared to the great nobles, the decorations inside made up for this shortcoming.

Every decorative item exuded luxury, possessing wealth that even Dukare could not match.

However, Lamian saw the clothes she had woven in the room shared by Huang Cao and Warfarin.

After being meticulously cleaned by Huang Cao, they were placed in the wardrobe, as if he cherished this gift greatly.

For some reason, a flicker of emotion involuntarily crossed Lamian's heart, and at the same time, her eyes held a hint of envy as she glanced at Warfarin.

The development of Eden shocked her; this was definitely not something that could be solved by effort alone.

If she had insisted on keeping Huang Cao ten years ago, would the Banshee River Valley have developed better than it is now?

And would something unexpected have happened to her...

"Ms. Lamian?" Warfarin seemed a bit lost.

Why had she, the Banshee Queen, suddenly zoned out?

Lamian, snapping back to reality, harshly slapped herself in her mind.

How could I be thinking such things? It's utterly shameless!

He has a proper girlfriend!

Lamian took a deep breath, trying to calm her complicated emotions.

Actually, it wasn't entirely her fault for thinking so wildly.

After all, during the time Huang Cao spent in the Banshee River Valley, he had almost won over all the banshees, including Lamian.

Even though Huang Cao was small back then, he was very dependable and diligent. No matter what happened in the valley, if there was anything that couldn't be solved, Huang Cao would be the first to step up.

He basically took care of all the big and small matters in the valley, and he also possessed a very exquisite massage technique, serving all the banshees perfectly.
