Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 771 Queen Youlan's Conditions, Cao Xing Gets Both Food and Money.

"So, can I understand that this person doesn't have god-level combat power, but rather has some special means to target demigods?"

"Or rather... he stole so much divine fire just to become a god himself!"

After reaching this conclusion, Cao Xing suddenly felt a sense of relief.

After all, demigods and gods are not the same.

The power possessed by the gods has reached a completely different level.

Although demigods are powerful, they are still within our control.

As long as the opponent hasn't broken through to the level of a god, then I have a way to deal with him!
Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn't help but smile.

Then he noticed another thing Rosie said.

'She sensed a sense of crisis during her breakthrough.'

What does this breakthrough refer to?
Cao Xing seemed to have a premonition of something and asked, "Ms. Rosie, when you broke through back then, were you referring to preparing to break through to demigod level?"

Upon hearing this question, the other three women also turned their attention to Rosie.

Rosie nodded. "Yes, two hundred years ago, I had almost reached the limit of the legendary realm and was preparing to break through to the demigod realm."

"However, because of this person's existence, I have to temporarily put my breakthrough plan on hold."

"For the past two hundred years, I have been trying to investigate him."

"The sooner one breaks through to demigod status before this threat is resolved, the more dangerous it will be for them."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing was deeply shaken.

Although I know that Rosie is very strong.

But unexpectedly, she was also a near-demigod!
No wonder the Ice Crystal King said that his talent was far inferior to hers.

That's a true genius!
Even Queen Youlan, who was standing to the side, gave Rosie a deep look, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

After confirming Rosie's strength, Cao Xing's mind raced.

A moment later, he seemed to have thought of something, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes again!

“Senior Rosie, I do have an idea, or rather a plan.”

Cao Xing said solemnly, "If this plan succeeds, it will not only allow you to break through to the level of a demigod, but it might also be able to expose the fire thief hidden behind history!"

A hint of doubt flashed in Rosie's eyes: "What's the plan to find the Fire Stealers?"

Cao Xing smiled and tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "This is just my general idea. I'll have to refine the details when I get back."

"However, it will take no more than two months."

"I'll contact you again when the plan is finalized, okay?"

After saying that, he took out a black metal device from his backpack and handed it to Rosie.

Upon hearing this, Rosie's slender fingers unconsciously plucked the strings of the organ, producing a series of scattered notes.

"I don't know why you're so confident that you can find this...fire thief."

"After all, I spent two hundred years traveling through so many kingdoms, and I still couldn't find out anything about this person."

"But as the lord who ended the bloody chaos, you surely wouldn't speak without reason."

She paused, put away the metal device on the table, and replied, "I agree."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's lips curled into a smile.

Queen Youlan, standing nearby, added, "If there is anything we can help with, I will lead the Youlan Kingdom to provide our full support."

Her voice was firm.

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Thank you for your support, Your Majesty. I will let you know if needed."

"Alright." Queen Youlan nodded slightly.

At the same time, Cao Xing looked again at the woman holding the accordion in front of him.

"Ms. Rosie, do you have some time to visit my territory later?"

"To your territory?" A hint of doubt flashed in Rosie's eyes again. "Is there something you need?"

Cao Xing explained, "It's like this, there's a woman in my territory who has had a similar experience to yours."

"She had an incredibly amazing talent for playing instruments and a beautiful singing voice, but later lost her voice for some reason."

"However, thanks to the healing of the Holy Light Sage in my territory, I have regained my ability to sing."

“She is currently working as a teacher in the territory, and I feel that her talent should not be wasted…”

"And as a legendary figure who is proficient in music, you may be able to offer her some guidance."

The woman Cao Xing was referring to was, of course, Gwyneth Paltrow.

As a bard of the territory, her songs always soothe the soul, and she also possesses the instrument recently gifted to her by Cao Xing—the Traveler's Lament.

This Rosie from Chuanhai Fort also uses an accordion as a weapon, and she is incredibly powerful.

If Gwyneth could learn music from her, she might benefit from it.

Rosie paused for a moment, then her fingers traced a beautiful melody across the strings: "I'm quite interested to find someone with such similar experiences to me..."

"However, I still have some things to take care of right now."

"How about I visit your territory after I've settled a few old matters in the North?"

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Of course, no problem."

"You are welcome to visit my territory anytime, whenever it is convenient for you."

“A woman as learned and beautiful as you, I will certainly treat you to the finest wine and music.”

Rosie gave him a deep look and shook her head helplessly.

Then, she looked at Queen Yulan and Marita and the others beside her.

"Gentlemen, I have finished discussing my matter with Lord Cao Xing."

"Sia, please make yourselves at home."

"I'll come see you again in a few days and have a good talk with you."

Queen Youlan rose gracefully: "Ms. Rosie, take care."

Rosie nodded, picked up her old-fashioned organ, and slowly got up and left the pavilion.

Her figure disappeared into the flowers, and soon she left the Hundred Flowers Palace.

Only Cao Xing, Queen Youlan, Marita, and Princess Fran remained in the pavilion.

However, after Rosie left, the atmosphere here seemed to become more subtle.

Apart from Cao Xing, the other three women remained silent.

Princess Fran kept stealing glances at Cao Xing, while Marita kept her head down, her cheeks flushed with an unnatural blush.

After a moment, Queen Youlan broke the silence first, saying, "Fulan, you can go out now."

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

The princess obediently stood up, glanced at Marita with concern as she left, and gracefully departed from the Palace of a Hundred Flowers.

Only three people remained sitting opposite each other on the field.

Cao Xing saw the helplessness on Queen Youlan's face and also saw Marita's reaction, and he was already extremely curious.

He couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what has happened?"

Queen Youlan glanced at Cao Xing, then at the uneasy Marita, and sighed.

“Marita, you tell us.”

Beside her, this decisive and efficient mature woman who runs the entire Moon Goddess Merchant Guild looked like a child who had done something wrong.

She lowered her head, her voice barely a whisper: "Lord Cao Xing... although it's sudden, there's something I need to tell you..."

"I...I'm pregnant..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing was struck dumb, frozen in place as if he had been frozen in place by a spell.

"You too, aren't you...when did you..."

He spoke incoherently, his mind replaying the days when he met Marita.

Marita's face was already red to the roots of her ears.

Queen Youlan sighed, "Marita is my younger sister, and her husband passed away many years ago."

"It's time to start a new life."

"However... I never expected that Lord Cao Xing would be the one she chose."

"What do you think we should do about this?"

After she finished speaking, her expression became even more serious.

Cao Xing remained silent for a moment, his gaze shifting between Marita and Queen Youlan.

Then, he slowly said, "Now that this has happened, I must take responsibility."

"Well then, my territory is currently under construction for a giant city."

“How about letting Marita come back to my territory with me? I happen to be short of a treasurer there, so I’ll let her take on that position.”

Queen Youlan frowned slightly, looking incredulous, and said, "You kidnapped my sister and now you want her to be your treasurer?"

In her view, Cao Xing's current behavior is no longer negotiation, but rather taking advantage of others.

However, he nodded seriously and said, "I swear on my integrity that I will never mistreat Marita!"

"Moreover, she can receive the best care and respect in my territory, allowing her to have a stable life." Queen Youlan pursed her lips, her slender fingertips unconsciously stroking the table, a thoughtful look appearing in her eyes, as if she was considering Cao Xing's suggestion.

If an ordinary person dared to impregnate her sister and then kidnap her, they would have been easily suppressed by this queen, or even killed.

But... this person in front of me is different.

That was not only her ally, but also someone with unlimited potential, who was expected to break through to the level of a demigod.

In terms of social status, Marita was already considered to be marrying above her station.

She seemed unsure of what to do, so she looked at the noblewoman beside her.

"Marita, what's your opinion?"

This mature and elegant woman, at this moment, resembled a shy young girl, lowering her head and softly saying, "I...I have no objection..."

"If Lord Cao Xing's city needs me... I am willing to do everything in my power to help him..."

Queen Youlan sighed, rubbing her forehead: "You've really lost your mind... I've never seen you like this before."

"If you leave, who will manage the huge Moon Goddess Merchant Guild?"

Upon hearing this question, Marita remained silent for a moment.

Then, she raised her head and said softly, "Your Majesty... how about letting Fran manage the Chamber of Commerce?"

“In recent years, she has been by my side, learning the ways of business.”

"She has already taken full control of all the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Moreover, she is your daughter, and also one of your trusted confidantes..."

Queen Youlan gave her a deep look. "You really want to go with him?"

Marita gently placed her hands on her belly, her expression tender yet firm, and said, "I...I just want to give my child a warm home..."

"Even if... even if it's just as an ordinary person..."

Queen Youlan remained silent for a long time.

Cao Xing also gave Marita a deep look, a complex expression rising in his heart.

For him, this woman was even willing to give up her noble royal status and her position as the head of the Moon Goddess Merchant Guild, and go to an unfamiliar territory to start a new life.

Although she hadn't spent much time with Cao Xing, she had already developed a deep trust and dependence on the man who had given her a new life.

Cao Xing knew that it was time for him to step forward and say a few words.

"Your Majesty, you need not worry."

"King Ice Crystal has agreed to cede the Gale Snowfield to my autonomous territory, where it will prosper under my rule."

“In the future, I will establish a commercial city there and maintain close cooperation with the Moon Goddess Merchant Guild.”

“In this way, Marita can not only manage my territory’s commercial system, but also take care of the Moon Goddess Merchant Guild.”

He paused, then said firmly, "Believe me, in the near future, that place will become the most prosperous commercial center in the entire North!"

Cao Xing's current demeanor is somewhat like that of someone meeting the girl's parents and making promises to them.

Of course, under such a strict aristocratic system, it was impossible for a member of the royal family to give up her status and marry a lord.

However, given Cao Xing's absolute power and status, these so-called systems are naturally insignificant.

After listening to Cao Xing's explanation, Queen Youlan said in a low voice, "Elton actually allocated such a large territory to you, they're quite generous..."

"With your strength, that place is indeed safer than Linglan Main City."

She paused, then sighed again, "Never mind..."

“Wait until Marita gives birth to the baby, then come back and visit your older sister.”

Marita's eyes lit up with surprise, and her eyes reddened slightly: "Thank you, sister..."

Cao Xing also solemnly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Queen Youlan waved her hand, turned around and looked at the sea of ​​flowers outside the pavilion, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.

Cao Xing and Marita looked at each other.

The mature woman's eyes welled up with tears of happiness, and her gaze towards the man was filled with love.

After a moment, Queen Youlan said, "Marita, go out and pack your things first. I have some more things to discuss with Lord Cao Xing."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

After saying that, she stood up gently.

The deep blue dress swayed gently, exuding elegance and beauty as always.

She glanced at the two of them again, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then walked towards the sea of ​​flowers outside the pavilion.

Walking among the flowers, a happy smile gradually spread across Marita's lips, and her steps became lighter.

She knew she was about to embark on a completely new journey in life...

After Marita left, only Cao Xing and Queen Youlan remained in the Hundred Flowers Palace.

At this moment, the majestic queen slowly sat down in a corner of the pavilion, leaning against the carved magnolia tree.

Her delicate profile glowed with a soft light, and her deep eyes gazed at the blooming sea of ​​flowers in the distance, lost in thought.

From this angle, her slender neck is as graceful as a swan's, her deep blue hair flows in the wind, and her elegant dress outlines her mature and graceful figure.

After a moment of silence.

Cao Xing spoke first: "Your Majesty, is there anything you wish to discuss with me?"

Queen Youlan turned her head, a slight smile playing on her lips: "You can call me Shia..."

Cao Xing was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting that this noble queen would allow him to address her by her first name.

He tentatively called out, "Xi...Ya?"

Seeing his slightly awkward expression, Queen Youlan smiled gently, and the smile that bloomed in that instant made all the flowers in the garden pale in comparison.

Even Cao Xing was stunned.

"Lord Cao Xing, am I handsome?" Queen Youlan's mature voice rang out.

Cao Xing composed himself and replied, "Of course, Her Majesty Shea possesses breathtaking beauty."

Queen Youlan laughed again, this time with a hint of mischief: "How about comparing me to my sister?"

Upon hearing this question, Cao Xing's breath hitched, and the stunningly beautiful faces of the two women involuntarily flashed into his mind.

He said slowly, "Her Majesty Shea and Marita are both stunning beauties, each with her own unique charm."

"However, compared to her temperament... Her Majesty Shia is even more elegant and noble."

Hearing Cao Xing's praise, a bright light appeared in Queen Youlan's eyes.

She gently stroked the carvings on the railing, a half-smile playing on her lips, and said, "Lord Cao Xing and my sister have a child, and he's been especially warm towards Ms. Rosie..."

"It's clear you don't seem to care about our age?"

Cao Xing frankly said, "Of course, in my opinion, the more experienced a woman is, the more...charming she is."

"Besides, you are all very young and breathtakingly beautiful."

He spoke with genuine sincerity, without a trace of falsehood.

Queen Youlan nodded slightly: "In that case, I will speak frankly."

"According to the tradition of our Youlan royal family, if you take one member of our royal family away, you must return one member to our royal family..."

Cao Xing froze on the spot again. "Uh...you mean, you want to take someone away from my territory?"

Queen Youlan was stunned upon hearing this.

She gave Cao Xing a resentful look, then slowly stood up from her chair.

As she walked slowly in, a faint, elegant fragrance of orchids lingered around Cao Xing's nose.

Then, Queen Youlan said seriously, "Lord Cao Xing, what do you think of me?"

Cao Xing looked at the queen in front of him and examined her carefully.

Her height of nearly 1.8 meters made her stand out among women. Her delicate features were like the most perfect work of art, and a magnificent royal robe accentuated her majestic aura.

He took a deep breath and sincerely commented, "Her Majesty Shea's beauty is like the most dazzling star in the night sky, noble and inviolable."

Upon hearing this, Queen Youlan's lips curled into a smile once again.

She spoke softly, uttering a startling statement that left Cao Xing stunned on the spot.

"In that case... Lord Cao Xing, would you be willing to have a child with me?"

At this moment, Cao Xing was completely bewildered.

He had considered that Queen Youlan might make other demands, or even ask for certain benefits.

But I never expected that her request would be this...

Cao Xing fell silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Queen Youlan stood dignifiedly in place, without urging anyone on.

After a moment, Cao Xing asked, "After the child is born, will you tell him that I am the father?"

Queen Youlan nodded gently, "Of course."

"As a legendary lord of another world, the child will be proud of you."

She smiled and asked softly, "Lord Cao Xing, what do you think?"
