Zofia: My Lord! I'm Your Fan!
"Hey kid, look what I'm holding in my hand!"
Cyril didn't care why the other person was there; after all, he was just a patient, and even going to the toilet was a hassle for him.
But when he saw the vine in the boy's hand, his thoughts immediately went back to decades ago.
That was his first crushing defeat in history.
And it was in front of everyone that he failed, and it was because of that failure that he entered the military ranks of Kazimierz and became a knight.
So that Ash Knight was you, Lord of Utopia.
I should have thought of that sooner.
Cyril felt a surge of joy from the bottom of his heart:
"I never expected that the dignified Utopia's Lord would worry about a nobody like me. It seems I have quite a bit of influence."
The old man was expressing worry rather than fear, a point Huang Cao did not deny.
Because he was genuinely worried that Cyril could defeat all the ponies he had trained, he personally stepped into the arena and won the first Kazimierz Knight Championship.
That's just a bit pathetic; they can't handle the game.
Cyril looked at his children standing behind Master Huang, a smile playing on his lips:
"I guess Mr. Huang isn't here to kill me today, but it's better to be free sooner rather than later."
"Mr. Cyril is really depressed. We've known each other for decades. I'm here today to cure you. Margaret will be my employee from now on, and I'll make sure you get all the employee benefits."
"Margaret has found a good job."
Cyril did not object, because he knew he could not resist, nor could the entire Nearl Family.
Humans are the sum total of social relations. Under the influence of utopia, every industry has its own investments. Even food delivery is done through a company under Master Huang's name.
Therefore, the seemingly unyielding Nearl Family has long since become a part of Utopia.
If Nearl really wants to completely sever ties with Utopia, she might as well just move into the deep mountains and forests.
Since their own family couldn't escape Master Huang's control, they might as well accept it willingly.
Cyril thought so, at least, before his illness relapsed, but he never had the chance. Now, however, his beloved granddaughter is already taking the entrance exam for a government position at Utopia.
So it's time to end everything from the past, but that doesn't mean Huang Cao wants to continue recruiting Margaret's parents.
Golden light emanated from Huang Cao's hands, directly covering Cyril's head.
The light spread throughout the old man's body, completely healing all his old injuries, and Cyril gradually sat up from the bed.
"It feels so warm, like I'm back in my thirties again."
Cyril touched his newly grown muscles, his words tinged with emotion.
Huang Cao shook his hand. "Immortality is impossible, but at least I can let you live for a few more decades."
"Alright, I've achieved my goal, Margaret. Remember to report on time. If you really can't get there, Utopia has a special policy that can provide pick-up and drop-off services. It should only take half a day at most."
After giving him a few more instructions, Huang Cao left without looking back.
After Master Huang left, everyone in the Nearl Family seemed to feel a great sense of relief.
"Father, how did you manage to offend such a powerful figure and still survive?"
Snitz glanced at Cyril, who had fully recovered, and said with a sigh.
Cyril gazed at the brilliant sunset on the horizon. "When I was young and naive, I thought I was invincible. As a result, I suffered a terrible setback. Let's not dwell on the past."
Mr. Huang clearly didn't want to bring up the past, and Cyril's emotional intelligence is also quite high.
Throughout the history of Kazimierz, the fate of the Ash Knight, the champion of the first Kazimierz Knight Championship, has remained a mystery, and is now almost an urban legend.
Now, apart from Cyril, no one knows the truth.
Even if Cyril told others, it wouldn't matter, so why should he risk getting into trouble?
Let's leave the interesting stories to future generations to solve.
"Margaret, from now on you must work hard for Master Huang and not tarnish the good reputation of the Nearl Family. As far as I know, the work intensity in Utopia is quite high, unlike the merchants in Kazimierz who used to have so many opportunities for enjoyment."
"I understand, grandfather. I will never bury the glory of our family. I will dedicate my abilities to every inch of Kazimierz."
"The matter is resolved. Speaking of which, I don't think I've watched the Knight Championship in Kazimierz very often."
After all, it's just a bunch of young idols jumping around on stage. It looks good, but Master Huang doesn't have that kind of need.
Maybe I can listen to some music?
Huang Cao realized that she seemed to have no musical talent and rarely listened to music. Occasionally Lamian would sing to her, but it was usually just to liven things up.
But before he had taken more than a few steps, he found himself seemingly being entangled by a mature woman.
Zofia, Margaret's aunt.
As soon as Huang Cao turned around, a steel whip wrapped around his right arm. Of course, this was intentional; otherwise, the little pony would have been turned into mincemeat the moment Zofia launched her attack.
The reason it didn't do that was because the Pegasus didn't seem aggressive, and its movements as it wrapped around its arm were very gentle, as if it had been passively put on a sleeve.
"Miss Zofia, it's not something to be praised for to pursue a married man, or do you have other intentions?"
With a slight exertion of his right hand, Huang Cao instantly felt a tremendous force pulling Zofia, who was hiding in the shadows, directly in front of him.
Before the golden horse could even collide with Master Huang's chest, the latter had already grabbed Zofia by the neck.
"Please explain, or I might have to hand you over to the police, and your idol career might end because of it!"
Zofia begged Master Huang to release the hand gripping her neck:
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Huang. I just saw you had walked quite a distance and wanted to call you back, so I accidentally..."
Chapter 655 Zofia: My Lord! I'm your fan!
"That was really too careless. If I had reacted suddenly, Miss Zofia would probably have been beheaded on the spot."
Upon hearing this, Zofia immediately shrank her neck, but she didn't seem surprised at all.
As the wealthiest horse in the family, and thanks to the transformation of Utopia, the Kazimierz Knight Championship has almost completely shed its bloody fighting style, so her combat ability is questionable.
They might be physically strong, but they definitely couldn't get past even the most ordinary Utopia soldier.
In terms of mentality, she could even be described as naive. Margaret, for example, fought alongside Talulah in the Ursus Icefield.
"Actually, I have something to ask you."
"What could possibly make you take such a big risk, gently wrapping your hand around my hand with a whip?"
"Actually, I'm a fan of yours, Lord. Could you please sign my autograph?"
Zofia blushed and pinched the clothes covering her lower abdomen with her hands.
My fans?
I'm really surprised to have so many fans in Kazimierz.
It seems the people of Terra aren't so morally ambiguous; if you do things well, there will be some positive feedback.
Huang Cao: "But... Miss Zofia, I don't have a pen with me right now, and you don't have any paper with you."
Zofia's ears perked up instantly. "I brought a pen. If you want an autograph, just sign it on my sweater. That way, I won't take up any more of your time."
Is it really possible to get this signed?
Huang Cao clutched the sweater, which still felt warm to her, and seemed to carry her scent.
I made a few strokes on the sweater, but unlike in 2D, I couldn't get my signature on it.
I knew it! Who signs their name on a sweater? I wasn't holding a calligraphy brush.
"I'm sorry, I can't sign my name here."
With the cooked duck about to fly away, and the Nearl Family's territory located in the suburbs with virtually no shops, Maria even had to run there on foot to buy iced tea.
It's like speeding on foot on the highway, all the way to the convenience store, which is several kilometers away.
Zofia's brain was overloaded; she drove over as soon as she heard her idol was at her house.
She was preparing for a book signing at the time, so she had a pen with her, but now she's made a fatal mistake.
But I didn't expect to forget to bring paper on the way, and there was basically nowhere on my clothes to sign.
By the way, you can sign your body even if there's no signature on the clothes!
"Mr. Huang, why don't you sign here?" Zofia showed off her healthy, fair arm, her face beaming with excitement.
Huang Cao sighed, thankfully there wasn't a scene where she had to sign her name on Oppai.
As expected, people in real life are actually quite shy; things aren't as dramatic as they seem.
However, this is still the first Kazimierz fan to proactively ask for his autograph; once the name is signed on his hand, it will probably disappear after washing.
So he decided to change the ink.
"The signature will probably disappear after a few showers. Let me get you a different pen. If you want it removed, just wipe it with a strong alcohol solution five times..."
A dark green pen appeared in Huang Cao's palm, as if he was about to sign it onto Zofia's hand.
But unexpectedly, the girl took another step back, revealing her smooth belly again.
"My lord, I've been thinking. I thought about it before. Signing it on my stomach is too easy for others to see, and this name is unique to me. I don't want anyone else to see it."
Ah, and there's also the element of controlling nature.
If it's not a girl, then this is getting a bit much.
Zofia's brain was already overloaded, and Master Huang's curiosity was also piqued.
He wondered to himself, what could possibly motivate this girl to harbor such intense feelings for him?
Well, it's not like it can't be washed off anyway.
Zofia half-squatted on the ground, supporting herself with her hands behind her back, slightly arching her back and sticking out her little belly.
Since he couldn't let his idol kneel down, he had no choice but to sit on the ground himself.
Fortunately, this scene wasn't seen by the pony's fans, otherwise they probably would have stopped supporting it.
Shocking! A popular idol actually... in front of Master Huang...
Zofia has a noticeable patch of fat on her lower abdomen, a characteristic common to healthy girls, which serves to protect her internal organs.
Therefore, it's normal for girls to have a slightly chubby belly. Some people don't understand this, so they try to lose weight too drastically, which can cause irreversible damage.
After signing his name, Huang Cao casually tossed the pen into his spatial storage.
"I think Miss Zofia, you came to see me today for more than just my autograph, didn't you?"
"My lord, I am already very satisfied with your autograph."
Zofia carefully covered herself with the clothes, her eyes practically bulging with mosquito coils, and her tail wagging incessantly behind her.
"Really? Then I'll be going now~"
Huang Cao actually wanted to ask the other person why they liked her so much.
But after taking only a couple of steps, Zofia couldn't resist her desires.
"If possible, I would like to have dinner with you, my lord!"
Huang Cao turned around with a smile, thinking to herself, "They've taken the bait."
Since both parties are public figures, they need to choose a suitable location for a quiet setting.
That evening, Master Huang booked a private room at a rather luxurious and elegant restaurant.
The price wasn't cheap, but it was a small amount for the two of them, and the meal was generously sponsored by Zofia, a fan.
Before the food was served, Huang Cao asked curiously, "Miss Zofia, why did you become my fan? I remember I rarely showed my face in Kazimierz."
"Actually, I've read your books and listened to your speeches. I've been a fan of yours for several years now."
Book?
I remember that most of the books I wrote were unsigned.
After some questioning, Huang Cao suddenly realized that Zofia used to be a fan of both of them.
