After seeing Kaister, the matters in Xilan City were more or less settled, and Zhou Xu was preparing to return to Black Moon City.
Judging by the time, summer had just begun, and Yalveth should be due to give birth soon. On top of that, there was no need to elaborate on the importance of the railway bureau's project, so he undoubtedly needed to keep an eye on it as well.
After resting for one night, Zhou Xu set out early the next morning. After spending most of the day riding to the factory district's port, he switched to the water route. It would take only two hours to reach Black Moon Port.
By the time they disembarked, the sun had not yet set.
Without lingering outside, Zhou Xu went straight back to the imperial palace and took the opportunity of dinner to check on Yalveth.
By now, Yalveth's belly had grown quite large. According to her own estimate, her due date should be sometime this month.
When it came to giving birth, the Female Warrior Tribe had its own way of handling things. In Yalveth's words, unless they came under attack, giving birth was basically risk-free for them under normal circumstances.
As a result, Yalveth remained completely calm throughout, without the slightest bit of pressure.
Zhou Xu, meanwhile, felt that this was probably thanks to the physical constitution granted by the Female Warrior Tribe's demigod bloodline.
In any case, there was basically nothing here for him to worry about. He just had to wait for the child to be born.
Over the next two weeks, Zhou Xu devoted most of his energy to handling state affairs. Over the past two years, Great Zhou had been going all out with construction and development, which had caused their workload to skyrocket.
