Chapter 12 The Third Elf Bug!

How could that be?

Loren offered kind words of comfort and taught him step by step.

It's over.

He whispered something in Xuefu's ear.

Xuefu was astonished by her beauty.

"No way, it's so ugly."

"What's ugly about it? Trust me, you'll love it sooner or later."

Xuefu hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage.

Take a small bite, just a taste.

"Alright, no more requests."

She lay back on the bed, closed her eyes tightly, and decided that she would no longer pay attention to anything Loren said.

After repeated attempts to persuade him failed, Loren had no choice but to go to sleep.

The next morning.

Annie came to the room to help Xuefu get up.

To her surprise, she discovered that there was a man lying on Xuefu's bed.

My Lord?

Why is he here?

And why...?

Not wearing any clothes.

Anne was somewhat at a loss.

It's summer now, so of course I don't use a blanket when I sleep.

So Loren was completely exposed by Anne.

Anne didn't know whether she should leave the room or wake up Shirley.

What should you do if you encounter this situation?
It seems the housekeeper didn't teach it.

Before she could finish hesitating, Xuefu had already woken up.

She followed Annie's gaze, and her pretty face instantly turned bright red.

"Annie! You go out first!"

Annie felt wronged.

She didn't mean it.

After Anne left, Shirley kicked Loren awake, "Hurry up and put your clothes on!"

When Loren woke up, he instinctively reached out and hugged Xuefu.

Xuefu was speechless for a moment.

Why is this guy acting like a child?

"Hurry up and put your clothes on, Annie is waiting outside."

Loren slowly got dressed and swaggered out of the room.

Annie stood at the door with her head down, not daring to utter a sound.

She only entered the room after Loren had gone far away.

"Miss Xuefu, why is the lord in your room?"

Xuefu is gentle and often chats with Annie.

Anne was not afraid of her.

Xuefu forced herself to remain calm, "We're engaged, isn't it normal for us to sleep together?"

Anne thought to herself, "Didn't you used to hate the lord the most?"
Xuefu reminded her, "Keep your mouth shut and don't talk about your master behind his back, understand?"

"Yes, Annie knows."

"Also, remember to knock before entering the house next time."

"Yes."

After a moment's thought, Xuefu asked, "Annie, do you understand matters between husband and wife?"

"The butler never taught him."

"That's it..."

Xuefu originally wanted to ask for advice.

If Anne didn't understand, she could only listen to Loren's teaching.

She couldn't help but wonder if what that guy was teaching was really correct.
After breakfast, Loren returned to his room.

Mornings are for handling territory affairs.

Xuefu handled almost all of these matters.

With her around, Loren can find time to do other things.

For example, researching potato planting methods.

Why didn't potatoes, one of the highest-yielding food crops, become widespread in the Elf Kingdom?

Besides the fact that many people believe it is poisonous and cannot be eaten.

Another reason is that almost no one knows how to grow it.

As it happened, Loren knew.

The first step is to prepare the seeds.

He needs to cut the potatoes he bought into pieces according to the "eyes" on them and then dry them in a ventilated place.

Secondly, there is the planting time.

It's best to do it in the spring.

Summer temperatures are too high for potato growth.

To solve this problem, a simple greenhouse needs to be built in the field.

Greenhouses can prevent direct sunlight and waterlogging. Three seed potatoes, each yielding 10 seed tubers.

It is expected that the yield will reach one acre by the third planting.

The growth cycle of potatoes is 3-5 months.

If you start planting now.

The first large-scale potato harvest should be possible next summer.

A batch was reserved as seed potatoes.

The remaining small portion can be used to produce promotional food items such as fries.

Once the plan was finalized, Loren immediately began its execution.

He allowed the farmers in the rye fields to harvest a small batch of rye ahead of schedule, thus freeing up a rye field.

He had to personally oversee the initial planting of potatoes.

Nobles were generally not allowed to farm.

But Loren never followed the rules.

Loren spent three days planting potatoes.

During this time, Loren went to the barley field and harvested newly hatched barley spirit insects.

There was almost no useful intelligence in those three days.

The only useful information was that there was another monster corpse somewhere.

After all, with the Monster Mountain Range behind it and the Iron Ridge in front, it's normal to have a lot of monster corpses.

In addition, the black rose is being cared for by Xuefu.

To cultivate this type of potion on a large scale, we also need a Rose Fairy Bug.

[Today's information has been updated]

[Intelligence 1]: You have been training every day recently, and Xuefu's impression of you has completely changed. She occasionally looks forward to you going to her room to sleep.

[Intelligence 2]: Alan's birthday party is coming soon, and she plans to make fun of Xuefu at the party.

[Intelligence 3]: Loris finally noticed the magic jade on the barley. She realized she had been tricked and was a little angry.

[Intelligence 4]: The barley and rye in the fields are about to be harvested, and the farmers in the wheat fields are very excited.

[Intelligence 5]: In the territory of Near Sea Town, a thorny elm on Iron Ridge will give birth to an elm tree spirit insect in three days.

Thorny elm?

Loren remembered that the thorny elm was an elm tree with sharp thorns on its branches.

The fruit of the prickly elm is inedible and has no other value.

However, if planted near the territory, it will form a natural wall.

With the power of the sprites, they can easily stop the monsters that want to invade Sandstone Town.

Loren hadn't originally planned to consider the defense of Sandstone Town.

After all, Warcraft usually invades during winter, and it's only summer now.

If you can obtain the Elm Tree Spirit Insect.

All that's needed for Shashi Town is to transplant a large number of thorny elms.

Transplanting elm trees is much more difficult than transplanting barley.

There is an elm tree in Tieling that is ten meters tall.

The cordyceps elm tree may be even taller.

To secretly transport the elm trees from Tieling, a horse-drawn cart is needed.

There were no horse-drawn carriages in Sandstone Town, so Loren would go to the nearest coastal town or Iron Ridge Town to rent one.

Loris had already noticed the barley fairy bug incident.

Going to see her this time will definitely alert her.

Loren and Shirley asked for leave to suspend training and summoned the three knights.

"You'll come with me to Tieling Town today."

"Yes!"

The distance from Shashi Town to Tieling Town is about the same as that from Jinhai Town.

Because the roads were in such bad condition, they didn't arrive until evening.

Loren and his three knights stayed in town for one night.

The next morning, they rented a horse-drawn carriage and headed towards Tieling in the direction of Jinhai Town.

Upon arriving in Tieling, Loren began searching for elm trees that might harbor the spirit insects.

“You guys come and help too, to find the thorny elms that have already borne fruit.”

The fairy insect must be born along with the fruit.

The fruit of the prickly elm usually ripens in autumn.

It's summer now, and there are very few fruits on the trees; most of them are still unripe.

"My lord! Here is a ripe elm fruit!"

"There's one here too!"

There are many thorny elms in Tieling.

After searching for a long time, the rye fairy worm finally sensed the magical reaction.

"This is the tree!"

"Come on, quickly dig up this thorny elm and transplant it to Shashi Town!"

This is the territory of Nearshore Town.

Logically speaking, this fairy insect should belong to Loris.

But under normal circumstances, who would specifically come to Tieling to look for the Fairy Insect?

Dear sister, I hope you can understand, I didn't mean to take advantage of you...
