Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1099: Chapter 390: Glowing Meteorite and Demon Solidification Flower Pot

Even those nobles couldn’t suddenly pull out that much money.

Marita chuckled lightly, "Lord Cao Xing is as straightforward as ever."

"These add up to a total of 10.8 million Crowns; let’s round it off to 10 million Crowns, how about that?"

"Of course, no problem."

Cao Xing cheerfully took out 10 million Crowns from his backpack and made the deal on the spot.

[Transaction successful: You’ve received [Agate Grapes Seeds]*3KG, you have received...]

...

After the transaction, Cao Xing’s face was filled with a satisfied smile.

As expected, Marita was truly his benefactor.

Every time he met her, she would bring him many good things.

This time, not only did she bring the Ascalon Royal Bloodline, but also a large number of crop seeds.

The more Cao Xing saw this beautiful noblewoman, the more he liked her.

Being looked at so directly, a blush appeared on Marita’s face.

She softly said, "By the way, Lord Cao Xing, I brought you a special product of the Youlan Kingdom this time."

"Let me get it for you now."

With that, she stood up and searched for something by the bedside.

At that moment, Marita suddenly felt a pair of strong hands encircle her waist.

Her body shivered instantly.

Yet she did not resist, but extended her pale palm to gently press onto Cao Xing’s hand.

"Marita, did you miss me?"

The noblewoman in front lightly nodded.

Marita’s body trembled, softly saying, "I missed you so much, Lord Cao Xing..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing casually lifted her fluffy skirt, pulling it up to her waist.

Today, Marita was wearing a set of white leggings, which made her long legs appear even more flawless.

The perfectly slender waist and pronounced hip bones, akin to an exquisite sculpture.

The two enjoyed the post-tempest peace.

A few minutes later, the sound of ’Knock! Knock knock!’ came from outside the door.

"Who is it?" Marita raised her swan-like neck, looking toward the door as she asked.

"It’s me..."

Upon hearing this voice, Marita’s pretty face showed a flustered expression.

She turned her head, looking at the man holding her, and softly said, "It’s my relative..."

"She still doesn’t know about our relationship."

Cao Xing paused for a moment, then said, "We should get up quickly."

Marita nodded.

Then, they both quickly got up and dressed.

Feeling a bit guilty, Cao Xing hurriedly tidied up the mess in the room, arranging all the scattered tables and chairs neatly.

The room was filled with a chaotic clamor.

About two minutes later, they were more or less done.

Cao Xing walked forward to open the door.

He immediately saw the woman at the door.

Her face was still covered with a layer of black veil.

Upon seeing Cao Xing, she retreated half a step, seemingly quite surprised.

Feeling a bit awkward, Cao Xing explained, "I’m here to do business with Lady Marita."

The statement had a bit of ’the silver’s not hidden here,’ feel to it.

The woman in front thought for a moment, nodded lightly, and didn’t say much.

Cao Xing bypassed her and left the place.

And this woman entered the room.

She seemed to notice a special scent inside and slightly lifted her nose to sniff the air.

Then she looked at Marita, who was sitting formally at the bedside, with a peculiar look in her eyes.

"Lady Marita, what were you just doing in the room?"

"It was nothing, just talking business with Lord Cao Xing. He bought all the seeds and Demon Solidification Flower Pots I brought." Marita said without changing her expression.

However, the woman seemed not to believe her words, but she didn’t pursue the question further.

"How long are we staying here?"

"Wasn’t the main purpose of this visit to the Gale Snow Plain to find a solution to the Life Withering Curse?" The woman continued to ask.

Marita gently smiled, her eyes flashing with a barely detectable tenderness, and softly said, "Of course, we’re here to find a solution for the curse, but the matters with the chamber of commerce are equally important."

"We need to wait here for the chamber of commerce to arrive."

The woman was half-believing.

"I think you’re lingering here a few more days for the territory, Princess..."

Hearing these words, Marita’s face flushed, but she quickly masked it.

"No... that’s not it..."

"Once the commerce arrives, we’ll proceed to tackle the curse matter."

The woman nodded without posing more questions.

...

...

Meanwhile, Cao Xing arrived at the central square area of the territory.

He first called Assam and then handed over the [Master-level Power Heart] to him.

This knight’s level had reached Level 50, poised for a master-level breakthrough.

Assam extended his hands solemnly to receive it, then began the breakthrough process.

However, his breakthrough did not proceed smoothly.

Soon the aura halted abruptly, indicating that Assam failed.

Thought surfaced in Cao Xing’s eyes.

"Sure enough, just when I hit the jackpot in the lucky draw, luck is swiftly reversed?"

"Seems like next time, before using such precious resources, I should find something to offset the bad luck."

Seeing Assam looking dejected, Cao Xing smiled and comforted him, "No need to be upset, Knight Assam."

"It’s just one failure, nothing to worry about."

For him, the [Glowing Meteorite] drawn earlier was already more impressive than Assam’s master-level breakthrough.

So there was hardly any disappointment in his heart.

Cao Xing continued, "Now, head to the Knight Hall for training, tomorrow I still need you for battle."

"As you command, merciful Lord!"

The heroic knight nodded heavily, then left the place.

A moment later, Cao Xing called out the villagers of Puteng Village.

Old Village Chief Zelko led all the villagers to respectfully greet Cao Xing.

"Distinguished Lord, good night."

Cao Xing nodded slightly, not commanding them to do anything.

Instead, he asked, "Village Chief Zelko, how do you feel during your two days in my territory?"

The old village chief heard this question and looked around.

Then he said emotionally, "Honorable Lord, if we’re to speak honestly,"

"We feel like we’ve arrived in heaven..."

"Before this, we never imagined being able to eat three meals a day."

"It’s so warm here, even when working we don’t have to endure the harsh cold."

"The people of Puteng Village, fully appreciate your kindness and generosity."

Cao Xing smiled, "As long as you’re accustomed."

"I notice all of you suffer from an illness called Frostrot, isn’t it?"

Upon hearing this, the old village chief’s face showed surprise.

Including the other Puteng villagers, their expressions became somewhat uneasy as though a secret was uncovered.
