Chapter 19 Will Get Pregnant

After the banquet, Ai Lan felt a tightness in her chest.

She originally intended to use this banquet to show off and then subtly mock Xue Fu.

But Xuefu didn't react at all from beginning to end.

Doesn't she yearn for this kind of life at all?
A noble viscount is surely better than the lord of your run-down town, isn't he?

However, she didn't see the slightest envy on Xuefu's face.

She understands her younger sister.

Xuefu wasn't just pretending.

This behavior only proves that she is very satisfied with her current life.

Why?
"Sister, are you really not going to stay the night?" Alan asked.

Xuefu nodded, "No need, sister, you can visit Sandstone Town more often in the future."

Alan instinctively wanted to mock him, but for some reason couldn't bring himself to say it.

In the end, he just gave a perfunctory "hmm".

Loren and Shirley stayed at the hotel for the night.

Loren had originally planned to stay another day to visit local farms and see if they had any rare crops.

Unfortunately, the farm entrance is guarded by knights, and no one is allowed to enter.

Loren had no choice but to give up.

Each territory attaches great importance to the farm.

Fortunately, the Rose Fairy Insect was born in the fragrant flower garden in the city.

He would never be able to get it if he were on the farm.

Before leaving Rose Castle, Loren bought a batch of flower seeds, such as lavender and rosemary.

Rosemary is an herb that can also be used in cooking to add aroma.

Over the next period of time, Loren plans to develop Sandstone Town with the goal of "hosting a grand wedding".

And food is an essential part of any wedding.

The cuisine of the Elf Kingdom mainly consists of roasted meat and smoked fish, followed by bread, fruit slices, and pastries.

There are too few varieties.

In Loren's view, there should be at least five appetizers at the wedding banquet.

For example, various braised dishes and cold dishes.

Then comes the main course.

Roast a few monsters, then have some braised pork, sweet and sour pork, steamed and braised seafood, and some side dishes to cut through the richness.

After the meal, you can have some French fries or potato chips.

It would be best to include fruit juice as a beverage, for guests who do not like alcohol.

We need to find a way to grow some watermelons. The watermelons in the Elf Kingdom aren't sweet; we could add some honey.

The dinner included several tables of hot pot, with mushrooms, tomatoes, butter...

It would be even better if there was a spicy hot pot.

If a wedding banquet can reach this standard, it proves that the town of Shashi has become quite prosperous.

To achieve this goal, Shashi Town still lacks many ingredients.

The crops currently grown in Shashi Town include barley, rye, tomatoes, radishes, peanuts, mushrooms, peas, broad beans, cabbage, and grapes.

We'll be able to enjoy mushroom and tomato hot pot soon.

The pea planting season is just around the corner, and we should be able to harvest a large batch of pea shoots then.

Pea shoots are a vegetable that tastes good no matter how you cook them, yet surprisingly few people in the Elf Kingdom eat them.

Could it be because they don't know how to use chopsticks?

Two days later, Liz drove back to Sandstone Castle.

Xuefu and Loren toured the territory.

During the days I was away, everything in Shashi Town remained as usual.

During her rest that evening, Xuefu voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind.

"Loren, did you create the illusion on the music box? How did you do that?"

Loren smiled mysteriously, "I have magic."

"Tch! If you don't want to talk, fine, but you're just trying to fool people."

Loren didn't know whether Xuefu truly disbelieved him or was just pretending, so he didn't offer any further explanation.

What did you say to Lady Celine at the banquet?

Xuefu's face flushed slightly. "My mother told me that married couples would never do the things you described, and I knew something was wrong from the start!"

"So what did she tell you that couples should do?"

Xuefu immediately fell silent.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's go to sleep!"

Loren wasn't about to let her off so easily. "What did Madam say, Xuefu? You'd better teach me quickly."

Seeing that Loren was starting to touch her inappropriately again, Xuefu quickly stopped him.

"No...you'll get pregnant." "Isn't that great?"

"But we're not married yet, it will affect your reputation."

Loren believed his reputation couldn't get any worse.

Xuefu's symbolic struggle quickly became futile.

She looked scared, but she was mentally prepared.

This is normal behavior between husband and wife, and it's actually easier for her to accept than what Loren taught her.

The two finally broke through the last line of defense.

Xuefu trains every day, and she is in excellent physical condition with no discomfort whatsoever.

She has a great figure, and her body curves are perfect.

Although it was my first time, it was an absolutely wonderful experience.

"I told you you'd like it."

"Who...who likes it?" Xuefu was still being stubborn.

Loren did not expose her lie.

A new day begins, and Loren's knight training enters the next phase.

Raise your sword.

To enhance his physical memory, Xuefu made him stand holding a sword for an entire afternoon.

The training process was tedious and difficult.

Without prior physical training, it would be difficult to even lift a sword for an afternoon.

Maintaining the same posture for an extended period is even more difficult.

This is much more painful than standing at attention in the military.

This kind of training actually lasts for a whole week.

No wonder so many people choose to give up.

The path of a knight is indeed difficult.

What Xuefu didn't expect was...

Despite the grueling training during the day, Loren still had the energy to bully her at night.

Is it that addictive?
Meanwhile, the rye and barley harvest in Shashi Town was completed.

Xuefu gathered people to fertilize the farmland.

Collecting fertilizer tax naturally requires helping farmers.

With the presence of Cordyceps militaris, farmland requires a large amount of fertilizer, which may overwhelm a single farmer's household.

Black roses have also begun to be planted on a large scale.

Loren took out the Rose Fairy Worm and let it climb onto the black rose.

The fairy insect sensed the new rose variety and expressed excitement.

It lay on the rose, recording the pheromones of the black rose.

With its help, the black roses could finally begin to be cultivated.

Roses can be propagated through cuttings.

New plants can be grown by inserting rose branches into soil or water to allow them to take root.

The three bunches of black roses have about 50 stems.

The survival rate of normal rose cuttings is around 60%.

With the help of the fairy insects, the survival rate of black rose cuttings will be greatly improved.

Three bunches of black roses are expected to produce 40 new plants.

Loren found two skilled florists to care for the black roses and the cordyceps of the rose fairy insects.

This task was of particular importance, and Loren sent a knight to oversee it daily.

Cordyceps can accelerate the flowering speed of roses.

However, it will take at least 3 months.

It's estimated that we'll have to wait until next year to cultivate a large number of black roses.

Today, Loren has obtained new intelligence.

In three days, a new fairy bug will be born from the tomato field in the coastal town.

Loren couldn't understand why Loris was so lucky.

In just one month, three sprite insects were born in her territory.

This time, we definitely can't try to be clever again.

He wrote a letter and arranged for a knight to deliver it.

“My dear sister, you may harvest a tomato fairy worm in the next few days.”

I'd like to trade this message for three cans of grape juice and three bags of cucumber seeds. Is that too much to ask?

Your dearest brother, Loren.
