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

Chapter 786 5000 Divine Powers Gathered, Everything Ready!
The next day...

As the dawn breaks, its light falls upon the buildings of the territory, adding a touch of mysterious beauty.

"Bangdang..."

The door to the alchemy workshop was pushed open.

A figure wearing a frost-blue robe, with slightly disheveled hair, stepped out.

His steps were unsteady, and his face was pale, as if he had just gone through a major battle.

"call……"

Cao Xing let out a heavy sigh of relief, then shook his head and said, "The effect of this Leaf of Life is just too exaggerated... it can actually last for so long."

"It's also thanks to the fact that Francesca and I are both legendary powerhouses."

"Most people's bodies simply cannot withstand such a long time."

In the latter half of last night, Cao Xing was initially suppressed by Francesca using the leaves of the Tree of Life. Lying on the wooden bed, he felt hot all over and could only let her do as she pleased.

However, he quickly took the initiative.

Furthermore, due to the effect of the Leaf of Life, his attack speed increased dramatically, and his weapon also had a special enchantment effect.

After a whole night of fighting, even Francesca was exhausted.

Besides, it was her first time... so she's now fast asleep.

Cao Xing smiled and shook his head, then said in a low voice, "Next, I need to go to the market and put a batch of legendary giant rhinoceros meat on the shelves."

"Gather the [Heart of the Forest Dew] and [Four Seasons Nectar] that Francesca needs."

"Then, I need to go to the Kingdom of Youlan again to complete the deal with Queen Youlan."

He now has a total of 465 [Divine Power Fragments] in his backpack.

However, she is still a little short of the 5000 divine power points needed to unlock Malenina's second form.

But as long as you complete the transaction with Queen Youlan and get 100 fragments of divine power, that will be more than enough.

At this moment, Cao Xing remembered the promise he had made to the queen the day before.

He shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems like another big battle is about to begin..."

Then, Cao Xing went to the market area and, as usual, put a batch of [Legendary Giant Rhinoceros Meat] on the shelves.

After a ten-minute transaction, he used a total of 63 kilograms of giant rhinoceros meat.

I received 500 portions of [Heart of the Forest Dew] and 100 portions of [Four Seasons Honey].

We should be able to use up this batch of [Leaves of Life] almost exactly.

"According to Francesca, there is a certain probability of failure in refining this [Essence of Life]."

Cao Xing weighed the materials in his hand and secretly calculated: "I have 99 portions here. Even if it's not the best, I should be able to refine fifty or sixty bottles, right?"

With that thought, he nodded in satisfaction and then headed straight for the alchemy workshop.

Pushing open the workshop door, Francesca was still fast asleep.

Her sleeping face was serene and beautiful, showing no trace of the aloof witch she usually was.

Cao Xing did not wake her, but silently put all the materials into the storage box.

Then he quietly left the alchemy workshop and closed the door tightly.

Standing on the bluestone street outside the alchemy workshop, he clapped his hands: "The leaves of the Tree of Life are done. Next, I'll head to Linglan City to complete that deal with Queen Youlan."

So Cao Xing pressed the communication device in his ear and explained his itinerary to Liu Muxue.

Although he didn't come home all night, the woman showed no displeasure and gently reminded him to rest and not to overwork himself.

A touch of emotion welled up in Cao Xing's heart, and he said softly, "Mu Xue, you are pregnant now, so you should also take care to rest."

"If you feel tired, don't go to the ruins. Just stay in your territory."

A gentle voice came from the other end of the communicator: "Okay, Xing, I have Bai Zhi to take care of me, so you don't need to worry."

"Okay, feel free to contact me anytime if anything comes up."

"Mmm," Liu Muxue obediently replied.

After a few more casual words, the two ended the call.

Cao Xing went straight to the territory's teleportation array area and then activated the teleportation.

"Buzz-!"

As the beam of light shot into the sky, his figure gradually disappeared from the spot...

Not long after Cao Xing left.

Liu Muxue then opened the dungeon portal with Bai Zhi and entered the ruins.

Everyone else in the territory also began their day of exploration and battles as usual.

On the training field, the newly recruited Twilight swordsman Karel is getting acquainted with this young body, his eyes full of passion.

In the blacksmith's shop, Harold set aside the [Icefield Giant Rhinoceros Horn], which was already more than half-finished, and began forging the four giant hooves, each the size of a city gate.

The construction teams outside the territory also began their day's work.

With only six days left before the Lost Royal City closes, they must seize every minute and second to improve themselves.

...

...

"Om-!"

Before Cao Xing could regain his sight, a faint floral fragrance wafted through the air.

This is a unique scent belonging to the main city of Linglan, elegant with a hint of fragrance, as if it can cleanse the soul.

When he opened his eyes, a magnificent palace filled with flowers appeared before him once again.

The lilies of the valley on the city wall swayed in the wind, and hundreds of flowers bloomed on both sides of the street, creating a breathtaking scene.

Although it wasn't his first time here, Cao Xing still couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful..." every time he stepped into this place.

At the same time, the master of this city, the ruler of the entire Youlan Kingdom, sensed his arrival immediately.

A majestic voice came from beside him: "I am in my palace. Lord Cao Xing can come here by himself."

Upon hearing this voice, Cao Xing smiled helplessly.

"This woman... is really casual..."

However, after several previous visits here, and having tried various scenarios with Queen Youlan, I realized that...

He was already quite familiar with the layout of this royal palace.

Cao Xing shook his head, and with a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, he was standing on the terrace outside the Queen's bedroom.

This place is filled with rare moonflowers, which emit a faint fluorescence even during the day.

Startled by his sudden appearance, several colorful butterflies fluttered their wings and flew away into the distance.

"Come in," Queen Youlan's languid voice came from the inner palace.

Cao Xing skillfully stepped forward and pushed open the carved white jade door.

However, the scene before him startled him slightly.

Today, Queen Youlan was not wearing her usual gorgeous attire, but instead wore a simple and elegant home outfit.

She wore a moon-white silk dress with faint silver patterns embroidered on the hem, and her long hair was casually tied up with a jade hairpin.

Most surprisingly, she was barefoot, with a silver chain adorning her fair ankles.

"What, don't you recognize me?" The Queen leaned against the soft couch by the window, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Cao Xing coughed lightly, trying to shift his gaze away from those jade-like feet: "No, it's not that... it's just that it's the first time I've seen you dressed like this, so I was a little surprised."

Queen Youlan raised her head, a playful smile playing on her lips.

She closed the book, then slowly stood up and gradually approached Cao Xing.

A faint floral fragrance wafts towards you, not the usual austere and cool scent, but rather a warm and languid fragrance, like roses glistening with dew in a garden in the early morning.

Her skirt swayed gently with each step, each step like walking on moonlight, light and elegant.

It left people speechless.

"Have you seen enough?"

When Queen Youlan's playful voice rang out, Cao Xing finally came to his senses.

His eyes flickered slightly, but a smile appeared on his lips: "If Your Majesty is willing, I can look for another hundred years if I can't get enough."

Queen Youlan chuckled softly, her laughter as clear and melodious as a wind chime: "What a frivolous little fellow~"

"If anyone else had spoken to me like that, they would have been executed on the spot."

Cao Xing smiled, meeting her gaze frankly: "Is Your Majesty willing to execute me?"

The Queen shook her head slightly and said slowly, "Of course I can't bear to part with you... I'm not even pregnant with your child yet~"

"Don't forget... what you promised me yesterday..."

She licked her lips, and a hint of longing gradually appeared in her beautiful eyes.

As Queen Youlan extended her slender fingers, she gracefully untied the belt around her waist.

“Rustle…rustle…”

When that elegant long dress slipped off.

A tall, fair-skinned, perfect body was once again presented to Cao Xing.

Queen Youlan's hands hung naturally at her sides, confidently displaying her figure.

In particular, when he saw Cao Xing's almost completely wide-eyed eyes, a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Her dignified face held a captivating smile, and the experience of living for hundreds of years added a unique mature charm to her.

Even after a night of intense battle with Francesca, Cao Xing felt his mouth dry again at this moment.

He grabbed Queen Youlan's slender waist and threw her onto the soft couch.

...

…A full four and a half hours later.

The shaking in the palace finally subsided.

Inside the Queen's room, tables and chairs were scattered all over the floor, and even the curtains were torn into strips, making the room incredibly messy.

The two fought for four hours, changing locations countless times.

After the battle, Queen Youlan had put her elegant long dress back on and was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Looking at Cao Xing leaning against the bed, she gently stroked her lower abdomen, a smile curving her lips.

"Lord Cao Xing's performance today was very valiant. It feels like this time, she might be able to conceive..."

"However, just to be on the safe side, we'll have to wait until the official confirmation before we can stop..."

Cao Xing looked at the beautiful and alluring queen with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Then, he said calmly, "Sia, let's talk about something else."

“This time, I brought the golem.”

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Queen Youlan's beautiful eyes.

She slowly stood up, and with a gentle flick of her slender fingers, a gorgeous dress embroidered with dark gold patterns automatically appeared on her body.

When she put on this magnificent gown, an invisible aura of majesty emanated from her.

She seemed to have transformed back into the queen who reigned supreme over all.

"Let's go, Lord Cao Xing. This place is too small. Let's go outside."

Cao Xing nodded, put his equipment back on, and followed Queen Shia outside.

...

...

The two stood on the edge of the square in Linglan's main city.

Queen Youlan casually remarked, "Isn't this place big enough?"

Cao Xing nodded again, "That's enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand.

As a streak of dark light flashed, a colossal creature emerged from the necromancy bag.

The ten-meter-tall golem crashed to the ground, causing it to tremble slightly.

This golem was made entirely of dark blue metal, with two huge cannons mounted at the front and back, and its core in its chest emitted a dangerous red light, like a lurking steel behemoth.

The moment Queen Yulan saw the golem, her eyes gleamed with excitement: "It really is a hero-level golem!"

"I never expected that after Lord Cao Xing auctioned off two golems, he would still have..."

At this point, she suddenly turned around, a dangerous smile curving her red lips: "Truly worthy of being the man I've chosen~"

Cao Xing shrugged: "This golem is yours. If you need anything in the future, come to me first and discuss it. Don't impulsively bid against others."

Queen Youlan narrowed her eyes slightly upon hearing this: "You mean... that I should rely on you from now on?"

Her voice suddenly took on a dangerous tone.

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said, "It's not so much about relying on each other, but more about helping each other."

"After all, we're allies, aren't we?"

"If all goes well, you will give birth to a child that belongs to us in the future."

"That's why I should help you even more."

Upon hearing these words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Queen Youlan's eyes.

But she quickly composed herself, a perfect smile appearing on her lips: "You're right, we're allies."

"In the future, you will also become a father to your child..."

As she finished speaking, she stretched out her slender hand again, and an exquisite spatial ring flew out.
Cao Xing subconsciously reached out and took it. The ring was cool to the touch and still had the Queen's faint fragrance lingering on it.

Queen Youlan said calmly, "This is the payment I promised you."

Cao Xing glanced at the contents of the ring; a full 100 glowing fragments of divine power were neatly piled inside.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The Queen turned around, her magnificent robes swaying gently in the wind: "I know you've been very busy lately..."

"Then, you'll be given special permission to take a break for a while."

"How about I contact you again next month, depending on how my belly is?"

Cao Xing paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Then he added, "If I have time, I'll come to see you often."

Queen Youlan waved her hand with her back to him, her voice ethereal: "Whatever makes you happy..."

After saying that, she turned and left with graceful steps.

The long, elegant black robe trailed on the stone pavement, leaving behind a receding silhouette...

Watching her departing figure, Cao Xing sighed and said, "She's really a woman with character..."

"Unfortunately... we all have our own businesses to manage..."

He shook his head, putting the matter of Queen Youlan aside, and looked back at the ring in his hand.

A smile appeared on his face: "Very good, now the number of divine power fragments has officially broken through 500!"

"More than enough to allow Malenina to activate her second form!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing couldn't wait to go back, to help Malenina officially break through to Legendary level, and then to see what the second form would be like.

So, he flashed and arrived at the teleportation array in Linglan City again.

After transiting through the main city of Everfrost, they proceeded to their own territory.

"Om-!"

A beam of light shot into the sky from the teleportation array, and Cao Xing's figure disappeared from the spot.

That dizzying feeling returned.

However, after so many teleportations, he had long since gotten used to this dizziness.

A few seconds later, my vision gradually returned.

Cao Xing successfully returned to his territory.

Then, he immediately pressed the communication device to his ear and asked, "Marlene, report your location."

The Valkyrie is still exploring the ruins.

Although she won't gain any experience points from killing monsters now.

However, her legendary combat prowess also allows her to serve as a protector within the organization.

If she encounters an overly powerful vengeful spirit, or some unexpected situation, this Valkyrie will take action.

At the same time, Malenina's voice came through clearly.

She said respectfully, "Master, I am near the ruins laboratory. Please give your orders."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Very good. Now go back to your territory. I have something to discuss with you."

"Yes, Master, I'll be right back."

After a brief exchange, the two parties ended the communication.

Cao Xing also arrived at the center of the territory and waited silently.

A few seconds later, the vortex portal next to the energy station began to slowly rotate.

"Buzz...buzz..."

As the spatial fluctuations reached their peak, a red figure gracefully stepped out from within.

The figure wore tattered armor and had a head of red hair flying wildly.

Although the dark gold mask on her face covered her entire face, it added a touch of unusual beauty to her.

That innate heroic spirit exudes a unique charm.

Of course, her body still looks somewhat strange due to some missing parts.

The Valkyrie's remains bowed respectfully: "Master, I have returned to my territory."

Looking at this powerful and loyal warrior, Cao Xing's eyes were filled with satisfaction: "Marlene, are you ready for your transformation?"

She slowly raised her head, and a pair of puzzled eyes appeared beneath the dark gold mask.

"Master... what do you mean?" A clear, ethereal voice came from behind.

Cao Xing did not explain, but slowly took out the blood-red broken blade from his backpack.

In the sunlight, the broken blade emitted an eerie red glow, which complemented Malenina's red hair.

The moment she saw the broken blade, Malenina's aura fluctuated.

"This is... a relic that allowed me to break through to the legendary realm?" Her voice trembled slightly, a rare occurrence.

“That’s right, you will step into that realm again.” Cao Xing’s voice was firm yet gentle.

Upon hearing this, Malenina did not respond immediately.

Instead, he paused and seemed to be thinking about something.

While she was pleasantly surprised, her hands were trembling slightly, as if she were somewhat uneasy.

Cao Xing noticed the expression on her face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?"

The Valkyrie hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Master, I do have some concerns. There are some things I need to explain to you before I break through to the Legendary Realm."

Cao Xing remained silent, waiting for her to continue...
