Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 978: Chapter 359: The Fainting Witch and the Dragon Speaker

This witch, who has always remained calm and elegant, unusually started to become incoherent.

She seemed unsure of what to say and directly buried her head in the Cloud Yak coat.

At this moment, Cao Xing chuckled softly and asked, "How is it, feeling better?"

Franciska, who was in his arms, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

She sensed her body, which was frozen stiff, had miraculously recovered!

A look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"So magical..."

"The frivolous act you just did, how did it have this effect?"

Cao Xing paused, surprised.

Goodness, she thought he was being frivolous.

"Uh... I think you misunderstood..." Cao Xing explained.

A captivating smile appeared at the corner of the witch’s mouth as she stood up from Cao Xing’s arms.

At this moment, the Forest Spiritual Power on her body slightly shook, and the ice crystal fragments on her light purple gown all disappeared.

A cool, elegant aura emanated from her.

She once again became that beautiful and learned witch...

"I’m heading out." The witch said blandly.

Cao Xing collected his thoughts and then said, "Alright, take care of yourself."

Franciska walked directly out of the Lord Mansion, as if the earlier incident had never happened.

"Bang!"

After the main door closed, Cao Xing touched the lingering warmth and faint fragrance at the corner of his mouth, "Was my action earlier a bit over the top?"

"However, the fact that her Goodwill didn’t drop means she wasn’t angry."

As soon as the door of the Lord’s Hut closed, Cao Xing heard a System Prompt.

[Due to your care for your subordinates, the Loyalty of Territory Member Franciska has increased, current Loyalty: 94]

...

Cao Xing immediately laughed.

Patting himself down, he stood up from the ground.

"Now, it’s time to check on that Dragon Speaker."

With that, Cao Xing quickly arrived at the basement that had been enchanted with shielding magic.

Sarah, Liu Muxue, and Isabell were all present.

They had placed the Dragon Speaker on a small wood bed, cleaned the bloodstains off her body, and changed her into new clothes.

Liu Muxue was sitting by the bed, occasionally feeding her a bottle of Life Secret Medicine.

Seeing Cao Xing approach, Liu Muxue looked up and asked, "Axing, how is Franciska? Is she out of danger?"

Cao Xing nodded slightly, "She’s almost recovered and has already gone back to rest."

Hearing this, Liu Muxue also let out a slight sigh of relief.

"How’s the condition of the Dragon Speaker?" Cao Xing immediately asked.

Liu Muxue shook her head, "Not too optimistic, her injuries are too severe, she’s been continuously losing Life Force."

"We have to feed her Life Secret Medicine non-stop for 24 hours to stop the deterioration of her wounds."

"Otherwise, it won’t be long before she might die from losing all her Life Force."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing furrowed his brow.

With the Dragon Speaker’s injuries, had it been any ordinary fifth or sixth-tier strong individual, they would have died already.

Fortunately, her Life Force is astonishing, allowing her to hold on till now.

"Based on the current situation, how many bottles of Life Secret Medicine do we need to maintain her life each day?"

Liu Muxue calculated briefly, "Approximately one hundred and ten bottles."

This number was quite absurd.

A bottle of Life Secret Medicine costs about ten thousand crowns, meaning, to sustain the Dragon Speaker’s life, they need to consume one to two million crowns daily.

But fortunately, his territory can still bear this cost.

Cao Xing said directly, "Then continue feeding her and see how long it takes for this woman to wake up."

"I’ll send several subjects to stay in the basement and take care of this woman in shifts round the clock."

"You all can return first."

Upon hearing this, Sarah and Isabell stood up and left.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing glanced at the status panel of the Dragon Speaker.

It was still the same, filled with question marks.

However, under the Status section, there was a large array of negative statuses, such as [Bleeding], [Pain Curse], [Dying], [Fainting]...

In this situation, Cao Xing had no other options.

He could only continue to replenish the Dragon Speaker’s Life Force and rely on her own will to regain consciousness as soon as possible.

As long as she wakes up, everything will become much easier.

These strong individuals have their own ways to recover.

Following Cao Xing’s orders, four women in their thirties and forties soon arrived at the basement.

Cao Xing instructed them to take turns in four shifts, caring for the woman 24 hours a day.

Then he walked out of the basement.

Cao Xing pondered silently, "I wonder when this woman will wake up..."

"However, with the system update time approaching, it’s best to prepare first."

So, Cao Xing returned to the Lord Mansion and waited for the update to arrive with Liu Muxue.

Time began to slowly drift by...

Soon, it was 23:45 at night.

There were 15 minutes left until the system update.

The survivors had already started a heated discussion in the chat channel.

"Wuhu! The new version is finally coming, I’m ready to show off my skills!"

"Sigh... I don’t want it to come so soon! I wish the Construction Week could last a little longer."

"+1 to the comment above, Construction Week is such a benefit week, the resource accumulation in our territory sped up quite a bit, though the power growth slowed down a bit."

"Damn it, during this Construction Week, those damned nobles came to my territory and taxed me like crazy! I couldn’t pay such high taxes, these bastards took the Polar People and Imperial soldiers from my territory, damn them!"

"Same here, those damned nobles stealing my wife, when I get stronger, I’m going to take all their wives!"

"You guys above are really miserable..."
