The Old Black Snake was more concerned about the development of the country than the upper-class nobles. In its eyes, there was no difference between nobles and ordinary people; the only difference was whether these two tools were easy to use.

"Fine, I'll just write them a reply. Anyway, I'm not selling!"

In the past, we were indeed short of money and needed a lot of orders, but in the future, our own fertilizers and high-yield Seed will be in high demand.

This is not some so-called high-end luxury item, but something truly beneficial to the country's development.

Other countries have relied on these two things to enhance their national strength, so how could Ursus, as a war machine, not be tempted?

However, Huang Cao didn't want to extend his reach so far so quickly. Opening dungeons too fast might cause him to lose control and lead to a complete collapse.

History taught him never to fight on multiple fronts; it's better to tackle one problem at a time.

"Dear Mr. Koschei ..."

"..."

"In conclusion, the current production of Eden's high-yield Seed is insufficient to supply your country. Please wait a few years."

Huang Cao casually wrote a few hundred words to dismiss the contents of the letter, since the Old Black Snake was far away in Ursus and couldn't possibly come here in person to discuss business with him.

Should...

Although this snake can go abroad, there's no need for it to travel this far.

As for the other letter, it was undoubtedly from the Great Yan government, and Huang Cao was preparing to make arrangements in this country first.

Let's put Ursus aside for now; fighting on multiple fronts can easily lead to mental confusion.

"This letter is written in such an official style, and the handwriting is clearly Shu's. It must have been difficult for her."

Indeed, that was the case. In order to write this letter well, Shu used his home-cooked meals to entertain dozens of groups of people.

The people from the imperial court came here partly to strengthen the management of Great Wilderness City, and partly as guests in their own home.

At least the people from Si Sui Tai were there under the guise of being guests, and since they were guests, Shu, being very polite, naturally had to treat them well.

As a result, this hospitality lasted for a whole month.

The rice in the millet's house had all been eaten by these people, and he was being pointed at and criticized while writing this letter, which made him quite angry.

Huang Cao never replied to True Dragon's letters, while Shu would reply to several of them frequently, whether there was a reason or not.

Therefore, True Dragon took a different approach and decided to send the message of cooperation to Huang Cao through Shu's letter.

But this caused a lot of trouble for Shu, who was used as the middleman.

Do you really think I'm easy to bully?!

You've really messed with me, haven't you?

Adhering to the principle of "better to avoid trouble than to cause trouble," Shu decided not to bother with these people who lacked public morality.

Anyway, they'll run away after this month's meal, and then we can just ask the Great Yan Dynasty for compensation.

Unless even True Dragon has no shame, then Shu really has nothing to say and can only suffer in silence.

Of course, she is willing to do anything to ensure that ordinary people have enough to eat, which is why she is willing to write this letter.

Without this reason, she wouldn't have been willing to write even if the Yan Emperor had come in person.

The relationship between Sui and Great Yan is so delicate; they are usually quite amicable when no problems arise.

The position of candle holder is particularly important, and sometimes all three members of a family will take on this role.

At least Shu had encountered this situation before, and was even called "Auntie" by a young monitor, although the position was later reformed to avoid such situations.

But it's still very grassy.

Moreover, just by looking at the depth of the handwriting through the paper, Huang Cao could tell just how helpless the expression on Shu's face was when he wrote this letter.

Why bother arguing with a bunch of younger people?

The content inside was nothing more than an expression of intent to achieve cooperation, and they even played the emotional card.

They even wanted to invite Huang Cao to visit and be a guest in the Great Wilderness City of Yan Country.

Although Huang Cao claims to be from Sargon, one can tell from his appearance that he probably has Yan Country blood.

That's why I tried to appeal to his emotions, but unfortunately, it didn't work on him.

After all, no matter what, his true homeland was the country from his previous life, not the Terra's land.

Although they are culturally similar, the two should not be confused.

Chapter 136 So this is what you like, sir...

He wrote a reply, politely declining the country's request.

Let's go to Yan Country in a few years. Let's build good relations with this country first and send a few samples from time to time to satisfy our appetite.

At the same time, test whether your abilities will be revealed in front of a bunch of monsters and demons.

After all, Huang Cao has always adhered to the mindset of conquest, aiming to achieve great things with small investments, and his style of doing things is somewhat shady.

Many things cannot be discussed openly and directly, whether it was Victoria or Sargon, he always believed that.

After handing the letter to the messenger that evening, Huang Cao decided to take a nice bath.

I'll come back and start working; I'm not going to live the life of a pampered young master!

After months of struggling abroad, it's time to take a break.

To be honest, Huang Cao suddenly felt that he was living a more tiring life than his people.

When things aren't busy, it's fine, but when they get busy, it's like working non-stop without a break at all.

Moreover, it requires a lot of brainpower, as you need to outwit and outmaneuver various forces, and a slight mistake can lead to complete defeat.

"The First Madam and the Second Madam have gone to the Banshee River Valley and are expected to return tomorrow night. Would you like to have dinner first?"

Kal'tsit was holding a stopwatch, and based on her observations, except for certain special occasions...

The man in front of me usually processes paperwork very quickly, and he often stops around mealtimes.

Although it is often inaccurate, it has at least a 40% success rate in making predictions.

This is also a quality that an excellent maid should possess.

I'm going to keep a close eye on you! I'm going to see through everything about you!

Huang Cao was unaware that a certain cat had begun to remember her daily routine. She stroked her chin, thought for a moment, and decided to eat first.

Kal'tsit nodded, then served up the steak she had carefully prepared.

Then Huang Cao took only one bite and almost spat out the food in her mouth.

"Kal'tsit, may I take this as a deliberate act of revenge against me? Is this meat steak even fit for human consumption?"

"And where did the other maids in the house go?"

Huang Cao surveyed his surroundings. As the territory was gradually improving, he hired many maids to serve him in order to showcase his noble lifestyle.

Including the ones already there, there should be thirty maids in the castle.

They usually go back to their little houses around the castle after they finish their work, but surely not one of them can be seen now.

Where did these people go?

"Since the two ladies are going to the Banshee River Valley, they have given all the maids in the castle a leave of absence, except for me."

Kal'tsit stated the facts calmly and unhurriedly, as if this was already her usual practice.

After all, the other maids didn't have to do as much as she did, and they even had to be made things difficult by Ramalien.

However, Kal'tsit could tolerate all of this, and at least the other vampire didn't make things difficult for her, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Although Lamian often makes things difficult for the cat, fortunately, each time it's just minor mischief, and she doesn't do anything too outrageous.

Even having an extra tail wasn't too much for Kal'tsit; she could just treat it as a toy hanging on her body...

Huang Cao sighed softly, then decided not to eat anymore, and dumped all the remaining leftovers into the "Abundance" style trash can.

"Kal'tsit, I think you should work on your cooking skills. After all these years, you should at least be able to cook a decent meal."

"I'm very sorry, Master Huang, but throughout my long life, I have never been picky about food, and besides, I don't need to eat much to survive."

The man in front of her clearly knew part of her identity, so Kal'tsit didn't intend to hide anything and told him the truth.

High emotional intelligence: Not too picky.

Low emotional intelligence: No opportunity to be critical.

Kal'tsit's body allows her to survive even without food, but in order to maintain her humanity, she eats most of the time.

Being hungry and not starving to death are two completely different concepts. Although you won't starve to death, you will still feel hungry.

It's the same as the concepts of immortality and eternal youth.

So, Kal'tsit, you just haven't really thought about cooking!

Huang Cao let the cat massage her body, preparing to take a good bath to wash away the dust and grime.

However, when he glanced at the long tail that had appeared behind Kal'tsit, a strange idea suddenly popped into his head.

Does this cat even know how to use the litter box...?

Was the structure of the body in Pre-Civilization similar to that of ordinary Feline?

Just because it's not mentioned in the game doesn't mean it won't happen in reality.

The top fictional historian of Arknights, Chi Xinmo, stated: Kal'tsit, who has been imprisoned for hundreds of years, does not know how to use the toilet.

Starvation should also be considered a form of death...

...bathroom.

This is a place where all sorts of wonderful misunderstandings and great harmony of life occur, and it is also a sacred place that has been longed for by countless films and television works.

Kal'tsit believed that this kind of plot had nothing to do with her, because she knew very well that the man in front of her had no interest in her.

Even now, when the two are being completely honest with each other, this remains true.

As a maid, Kal'tsit also honorably took on the duty of scrubbing people's backs.

In fact, before the signing of the Hundred Years' Slave Treaty, Kal'tsit had never bathed Huang Cao, after all, she had only been a maid for a year.

Moreover, since he was a contract worker, Huang Cao was given the respect he deserved.

However, after signing a century-long slave treaty with this cat, the nature of the situation changed completely.

Otherwise, why would Kal'tsit call it a slave treaty?

Besides, after being hit in the face by the Charm Mushroom, Kal'tsit felt that she had already made a fool of herself.

Although the artifacts inside his body were still there, they had been seen quite a bit by then, so there was really no point in trying to hide them anymore.

I'm not some virgin; my skin is incredibly thick, built up over 30,000 years.

What's more, Lamian with Huang Cao cat toy, and she didn't react at all then.

I'm indifferent to joy or sorrow... as long as I don't run into the Charm Mushroom.

Huang Cao was enjoying the luxurious life of a high-ranking nobleman when Kal'tsit came face to face with him and he was about to rub the front part.

Suddenly, the blade of grass asked curiously, "By the way, do you know how to use the toilet?"

"So that's how it is... You wanted to preserve the last shred of my purity..."

Kal'tsit glanced down at him.

He then pursed his lips with a slight difficulty, and finally turned around reluctantly. "I pay great attention to personal hygiene, so Master Huang doesn't need to worry about whether it's dirty or not. If you want to use it, please do so."

Huang Cao:?

No, I'm not a girl! I just wanted to ask a question.

What are you thinking, you cat?
