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

Chapter 877 Heli Returns, Moon Goddess Orb Fragments Gathered.

Currently, Cao Xing does not know what kind of power a god-level expert possesses.

There may be some methods or forbidden secret techniques that are beyond one's imagination.

After all, beings at this level cannot be fathomed by common sense.

However, Cao Xing believed that even if Malenina couldn't defeat this creature, she could still put up a fight.

"Furthermore... I also have a [Heart of the Corrupted God] in my backpack, which can inflict severe damage on gods!"

"Next, I plan to wait for those demons to deliver the materials, then I'll initiate the summoning ritual to bring the God of Light over and kill him."

"When the [Uproot] quest is completed, I will be rewarded with a [Divine Spark of Light].

"This divine spark is undoubtedly an essential item for a demigod to break through to the divine realm!"

"Among the members of my territory, Isabel has already broken through to the demigod level, and is also a powerful being of the light attribute..."

"In other words, once she reaches level 200, I can directly help her break through and possess the first god-level combat power!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing felt even more confident.

Of course... there's an even simpler way.

That means accumulating 10000 divine power fragments and giving them all to Malenina.

After she breaks through to the demigod realm, she can activate her [Second Form] again and directly possess god-level combat power!

However, both of these methods...

Whether it's having Isabel inherit the [Godhood of Light] and become a deity, or gathering 10 divine power points, it will take a very long time.

Cao Xing took a deep breath and said slowly, "Before that, let's plan our next move..."

"As the Demon Lord promised me, those demons should be delivering the ritual materials to me today."

"Now it's time for my legendary men to prepare for their return."

With that thought in mind, he returned to the center of his territory.

Then he pressed the communication device to his ear and gave some instructions to the combat personnel.

After doing all this, Cao Xing continued to patrol his territory.

He first passed by the pastoral area and saw a group of 'cloud yaks' with blue and white stripes on their bodies, leading many calves to stroll on the grassland.

There were also more bighorn sheep and regular dairy cows nearby.

They all had large numbers of lambs and calves, and roamed freely within the enclosure of the livestock area.

"Moo-moo-moo"

"Baa... baa..."

Various noisy calls could be heard continuously, and the entire pastoral area was full of vitality.

Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, the number of cloud yaks in the territory is about to exceed three hundred."

"The sheep and cows have also entered their breeding season."

"It won't be long before the number of livestock in the territory exceeds two thousand!"

That's an astonishing number!

In this world, those who can own so many livestock are either wealthy merchants or noble territories.

It can be said that Cao Xingguang can generate massive profits every day thanks to his current business.

Of course, the fastest growing group is still the group of glossy chickens.

From just over two hundred bare-feathered chickens when they were first captured, after nearly a year of breeding, the number of chickens has increased more than tenfold!
Now, these Lightfeather Chickens can lay hundreds of precious magical eggs every day.

This is also an amazing gain.

These eggs alone are enough to feed half the population of the entire territory!
After visiting the livestock area, Cao Xing, feeling satisfied, then went to the agricultural area of ​​his territory.

It is worth mentioning that, due to the 'Static Magic Shield', it blocked the cold air and snow from the outside.

In addition, the 'local temperature regulation' function of the [Energy Station] ensures that the agricultural area always maintains a suitable temperature for crop growth.

Therefore, greenhouses have been removed from agricultural areas, and open-field cultivation has been fully implemented.

Moreover, the vast majority of the nearly two hundred acres of fertile land are planted with economically valuable magical plants that can generate substantial profits.

Such as silver dew berries, agate grapes, Kulin barley, and cold dew rice, etc...

Looking around, all you can see is a scene of impending harvest.

The vines of silver dew berries intertwine on the ground, and the glistening fruits hang heavily from the branches.

Clusters of purplish-red grapes hang from the agate trellis, shimmering with a gem-like luster.

In the fertile fields, golden barley swayed in the wind, while in the distant rice paddies, the heavy ears of rice, laden with the weight of the cold dew, bent the stalks and rippled in the breeze.

Hardworking farmers are weeding and fertilizing in the fields.

Just seeing this vibrant scene brings a sense of satisfaction and joy.

After all, these are all Cao Xing's own assets, a prosperous territory he built single-handedly.

"It seems this year's harvest will be double that of last year..."

Cao Xing stood there, admiring the bountiful harvest before him with satisfaction.

After observing for a while, he turned around and surveyed the other areas.

As he walked, he suddenly saw a woman wearing a light purple dress and holding a lute in her arms walking towards him.

Her steps were light, her skirt swaying gently with each step, and the star-shaped gems inlaid on her lute shimmered in the night, reflecting in her violet eyes.

It was that bard, Gwyneth.

As a mainstay of the [Song of the Spark] tavern, she has been performing on stage every night at eight o'clock for the past month.

Countless wanderers and mercenaries chose to settle in Starfire City after hearing her song.

Every day, I wait patiently near the tavern, hoping to snag a good spot.

Even the survivors would often gather outside the tavern after a day of fighting, just to listen to her clear singing voice through the window.

Currently, Gwyneth is arguably the most popular person in the entire Starfire City, second only to Cao Xing.

At that moment, upon seeing Cao Xing, the bard gracefully bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord..."

Cao Xing smiled and asked gently, "Gwyneth, where are you headed now?"

Gwyneth responded, "I just got back from my tutor Rosie and I'm going to practice the new piece I learned today a few times to solidify my knowledge."

Her voice was soft and gentle, with a unique rhythm: "By the way... I've already studied the first chapter of Instructor Rosie's Nine Chapters of Heavenly Sound..."

"She said that in another month, I would be able to become a qualified Celestial Sound Herrscher."

However, Cao Xing looked at her slightly tired face and the bags under her eyes, and sighed inwardly.

Clearly, Gwyneth was diligently practicing every day in order to learn the complete Nine Chapters of Heavenly Music as soon as possible, and also because she didn't want to fall behind in her singing at the tavern.

"You've worked hard, but you don't need to push yourself so hard."

Upon hearing this, a touch of emotion appeared in Gwyneth's eyes: "Thank you for your concern, my lord..."

"However, I don't feel tired at all; on the contrary, I enjoy it."

At this point, she looked up and gave a sincere smile: "As long as I can help the territory and relieve the Lord's burden, Gwyneth is not tired at all."

Cao Xing remained silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought.

Gwyneth, seeing this, assumed he was communicating with someone else.

So he bowed slightly and said softly, "My lord, if there's nothing else, I'll go practice now..."

The bard strolled past him, a unique fragrance wafting into his nostrils.

At that moment, Cao Xing suddenly called out to her, "Wait a minute."

Gwyneth paused, turned her head and looked at her lord with some confusion.

"Come to me."

Although she was a little confused, she still obediently walked up to Cao Xing.

The distance between the two gradually closed, until she could clearly sense the chill emanating from the lord.

At this moment, the two are face to face, less than 10 centimeters apart.

Although Gwyneth and Cao Xing confirmed their relationship in the library some time ago.

But being so close to him at this moment still made her feel her heart race and her cheeks burn...

However, at that moment, Gwyneth suddenly felt her knees being firmly supported by a strong arm, and she instantly lost her balance, floating lightly into the lord's broad embrace.

In an instant, the bard felt his heart skip a beat.

"Ah!" she exclaimed, instinctively reaching out to wrap her arms around his neck.

Cao Xing's deep voice rang out: "When I said 'rest,' I didn't mean it as a suggestion, but as an order. Do you understand?"

The bard's eyelashes trembled slightly, his hands unconsciously tightening around his clothes, his face as white as the evening glow.

She gave a soft "hmm," her voice barely audible.

Then, Cao Xing picked her up and strode towards Gwyneth's residence.

"Bangdang..."

After the door closed, Cao Xing gently placed the light-as-feather bard in his arms onto the bed.

Her long, silky hair spread out and covered the entire pillow.

Cao Xing picked up the accordion in his hand and placed it on the bedside table.

At this moment, Gwyneth gently tugged at the corner of the sheet, looking nervously at the figure that made her heart race.

Before she could react, she suddenly felt a pair of warm, large hands gently encircling her waist.

Immediately afterwards, a slender finger swept across.

“Gwyneth, is it alright?” “Hmm…” The bard nodded gently.

Before him stood a slender and graceful figure.

Her skin was like solidified cream, gleaming with a pearly luster in the dim candlelight, and faint red marks from practicing the accordion remained on her collarbone.

Gwyneth flinched involuntarily as his fingertips traced her taut back.

A moment later, Cao Xing put his robe into his backpack.

The two embraced without any hindrance and could clearly feel each other's warmth.

Cao Xing could clearly sense that Gwyneth's heart was pounding and she seemed very nervous.

However, under his warm, large hands, her anxiety gradually subsided.

...

...

Time flies...

In the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.

At this moment, the sun had already set, and the whole world was shrouded in darkness.

Cao Xing slowly opened his eyes and looked at Gwyneth lying in his arms.

The woman in his arms was breathing evenly, her eyelashes trembling gently with her dreams, sleeping soundly.

She seemed to have never slept so peacefully in a long time, like a weary bird that had finally found its home.

Cao Xing chuckled softly, then slowly withdrew his arm and got up from the warm bedding.

He dressed and put on the Frost Soul Robe of the Great Lich again. He gently stroked the collar with his fingertips, and with a flow of magic, the wrinkles were smoothed out as if they were new.

Just as he was about to push open the door and leave, he suddenly heard two clear voices coming from the communicator in his ear.

"My lord, I have returned to my territory."

"I, Scarlet Shadow, am back!"

Cao Xing paused in his steps.

Clearly, these are the voices of Sabina and Heri.

A month ago, I sent out these two stalkers to search for the [Fragments of the Moon Goddess Orb] scattered across the continent.

However, because these places are far apart and each fragment is in a different location, it will take a lot of time.

The fact that they've returned now most likely means that both women have successfully achieved their goals.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's face.

Then, he pressed the communicator to his ear and replied, "I understand. Come to the central square to find me now."

After saying that, Cao Xing hung up the communication, pushed open the door, and came to the spacious stone-paved street outside the territory.

Then he walked toward the central square of the territory.

One minute later.

Two shadows emerged from the darkness like ghosts.

On the left is Sabina, dressed in black night clothes, her dagger gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

On the right is Heri, a beast-eared girl who is swishing her tail and whose cat ears are constantly trembling.

They bowed simultaneously: "Good night, my lord."

Cao Xing nodded slightly and said, "Welcome back, Heri, Sabina."

"You've worked hard this past month."

Hearing this, a warm feeling welled up in the hearts of the two women...

It's hard to describe the feeling; it's like you've been wandering for a long time and finally returned home, and received your parents' approval.

"Do not……"

Sabina was about to reply, "It's not hard work."

Heri, standing beside her, pouted and complained, "You bet! This month has been exhausting for me, Feiying!"

"We traveled tens of thousands of kilometers to collect these fragments!"

"We also encountered some attacks from monsters and mercenaries along the way."

"Then some fragments ended up in the hands of those cunning merchants, who, seeing that we wanted these fragments, started to raise prices on the spot..."

"The worst part is..."

The animal-eared girl kept talking, as if she wanted to recount everything that had happened in the past month.

Cao Xing wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, he smiled, patted her head, and said softly, "I know you've worked hard. I'll give you a reward tonight."

Upon hearing this, the weariness and resentment on Heri's face vanished instantly, and her pair of eerie green eyes lit up!

"Is the reward... the kind I'm thinking of?"

She subconsciously touched the collar around her neck, a look of longing appearing in her eyes.

Cao Xing nodded and said, "That's right, it's the same kind as last time."

"Excellent! Long live the Lord!"

Heri jumped up and down excitedly, her tail held high.

Meanwhile, Sabina seemed not to understand what this 'reward' was, but she didn't dare to ask any questions and just stood there quietly.

At this moment, Cao Xing said seriously, "Alright, hand over the fragments you have collected over this period of time."

Upon hearing this, the two women immediately took out their spoils from their bosoms.

Sabina's palm held three blue-glowing fragments, while Heri's furry paws held two more glowing fragments.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Cao Xing sent all the fragments into his backpack.

[Obtained: Moon Goddess Orb Fragment *5]

...

Seeing this notification, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "Finally, I've collected them all..."

Once a legendary gem, it was severely damaged and split into twelve fragments, which were scattered throughout the continent.

Even he himself never expected that he would actually collect them all one day.

Then, Cao Xing put aside his thoughts and looked at his two capable subordinates: "You've worked hard this month, go back and rest now."

"I'll contact you again if anything comes up."

Sabina respectfully agreed, her cloak billowing as she melted into the shadows like ink.

Heri looked at him expectantly, her fluffy tail wagging constantly: "My lord, don't forget our promise~"

"understood."

Cao Xing smiled and then waved his hand.

After the two stalkers left, Cao Xing looked at the fragments in his backpack and slowly said, "According to what Marita said at the time, the staff of the Moon Goddess is in the Kingdom of Youlan."

"Once all 12 fragments are collected, we can retrieve the Moon Goddess Staff and restore the power of this legendary staff."

"It seems I'll have to make a trip to the Kingdom of Orchid."

In a flash, he arrived at the center of the territory's teleportation array.

"Om-!"

As the familiar light rose, Cao Xing's figure disappeared from the spot.

A few seconds later, a refreshing fragrance wafted over.

You have arrived in a special area: Linglan Main City.

...

Looking around at the palace with its unique architectural style and covered with flowering vines.

Cao Xing didn't linger. He flashed away and headed straight for Queen Youlan's palace.

As the supreme ruler of the Youlan Kingdom, Cao Xing is probably the only person in the entire Northern Territory with such authority.

Coincidentally, the queen had already returned to her palace to rest.

She was leaning against a soft couch by the window, a silver-threaded nightgown loosely draped over her body, revealing her snow-white shoulders and neck.

The flickering candlelight illuminated her delicate profile, making her already stunning beauty even more radiant and captivating.

Upon seeing that familiar figure, Queen Youlan slowly raised her head, her red lips slightly curved: "Coming to the palace so late, have you missed me?"

Cao Xing chuckled and nodded, saying, "I do miss it."

"However, I have an even more important matter to discuss with you this time."

Queen Youlan lazily propped herself up, her silky long hair falling over her shoulders: "I knew you wouldn't come to visit in the middle of the night for no reason."

"There are so many beauties in my territory that I can't even spare the time to think about me."

She gave a soft hum, her tone tinged with a hint of resentment, and gently played with the hair that fell across her chest with her slender fingertips.

Hearing this, Cao Xing smiled helplessly.

To be honest, it's been a while since he last visited Queen Youlan.

In the past month, because Xinghuo City has just been completed and has experienced a major battle, there are many things that need to be dealt with.

Queen Youlan and her entourage were also busy taking over the territory of the North Wind Alliance and inventorying the assets of the six kingdoms, so they were even more tied up...
