Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1086: Chapter 387: Royal Bloodline, Shadow of the Bloody Army

"Marita? She actually found my territory?"

Last time they parted, Lord Cao Xing gave her a communication device, telling her to contact him upon reaching Gale Snow Plain.

Unexpectedly, she came quietly without a word.

Although a bit surprised, Lord Cao Xing was rather happy in his heart.

After all, this woman could be considered his benefactor.

The first time, she gave him the [Devouring Demon Box], allowing him to successfully devour a demon and gain the powerful ability of Demon Transformation.

The second time, she gave him a Magic Seed, a fragment of the Moon Crown Treasure, and... her body...

One could say that this journey had been greatly aided by her.

Thus, Lord Cao Xing directly clicked ’agree.’

About two kilometers away from the territory, right at the border of the Melting Furnace’s coverage area.

A seemingly ordinary carriage approached.

Lord Cao Xing quickly exited the territory to greet them.

From afar, he could see that the carriage had only a coachman, with not even a single guard.

"So low-key?"

However, when he considered the woman’s strength, it wasn’t surprising.

After all, she was a master-level mage, and with her own power, she was already the strongest guard.

At the same time.

Marita’s carriage slowly arrived under the wall.

Seeing Lord Cao Xing leading many soldiers standing in the snow to welcome her.

The curtain of the carriage was gradually lifted.

A mature and beautiful face peeked out.

It was Marita.

Her cascading brown hair, slightly curled, casually draped over her shoulders, with a few strands gently swaying in the breeze.

Beneath her curved willow-leaf eyebrows were eyes as deep as sapphires.

Today she seemed somewhat different from the last time they met.

Having been meticulously dressed, she appeared even more stunning.

The carriage came to a slow stop in front of Lord Cao Xing.

Then Marita lifted the carriage curtain.

Lord Cao Xing vaguely saw two figures inside the carriage.

But before he could see clearly, the curtain was pulled shut again.

A graceful and elegant silhouette gracefully alighted.

Today, Marita wore a black, luxurious evening gown.

The hem of the gown swayed slightly, and the heart-shaped neckline perfectly revealed her fair skin and impressive figure.

She lifted her voluminous skirt, cautiously stepping down from the carriage with delicate steps.

Upon seeing Lord Cao Xing, her face immediately displayed a complex expression.

A mix of joy, emotion, and a hint of imperceptible shyness.

"Lord Cao Xing, long time no see."

With a smile, Lord Cao Xing replied, "Long time no see, Lady Marita."

"I’m surprised you found my territory."

The other warriors also looked at Marita with curious expressions.

It seemed they were unaware their lord knew such an elegant and powerfully influential woman.

Marita softly said, "I went through quite some trouble."

"But after asking a few Otherworldly Lords, they told me the location of your territory."

Lord Cao Xing chuckled and nodded.

The noblewoman in front of him gazed through the wall at the structures inside the territory, her eyes showing admiration.

She gently laughed, "Lord Cao Xing, won’t you invite me in for a sit?"

Lord Cao Xing hesitated for a moment, then quickly responded.

"Forgive my neglect."

"Lady Marita, please come in."

With those words, the city gates opened wide.

Marita, with a gentle laugh, returned to the carriage, slowly entering the territory.

Meanwhile, Lord Cao Xing looked at the warriors around him before directing his gaze at Hilda.

"Hilda, I have some matters to attend to, so you take our warriors to join my lady."

"Sarah, you stay behind."

The Queen Blood Spider nodded slightly, "Alright."

With that, she led the Star Country Knights away from the scene.

Sarah stayed by Lord Cao Xing’s side to ensure his safety.

Watching Hilda and the others’ retreating figures, Lord Cao Xing turned to follow the carriage back into the territory.

It wasn’t until they reached the Second Ring Area of the territory that the carriage finally came to a stop.

Because, this was already at the entrance of the tavern within the territory.

For non-territory guests, Lord Cao Xing generally arranged for them to stay here.

"Lady Marita, please come down."

At the sound of his voice, the noblewoman maintained her elegant steps, slowly alighting from the carriage.

This time, two figures followed her down as well.

The two figures wore simple coats, but their faces were covered with veils, obscuring their features.

However, from their builds, it could be discerned that one was male and the other female.

The young man seemed quite young, looking a bit nervous under Lord Cao Xing’s gaze.

The woman, with her face covered by a white veil, appeared somewhat mysterious.

What surprised Lord Cao Xing was that he couldn’t discern any information about these two people.

They seemed to be using an incredibly powerful concealment technique, making it difficult for outsiders to probe.

Nevertheless, Lord Cao Xing didn’t dwell on it.

Instead, he directly said, "Please, come into the tavern and have a seat."

The three nodded lightly and then entered the tavern in succession.

As for the coachman at the entrance, he still remained seated on the carriage, with no intention of dismounting.

Not paying attention to it, Lord Cao Xing also entered the tavern.

The four of them sat down separately.

Bartender Rach, being observant, promptly served four glasses of red wine.

The rich aroma of the wine was intoxicating.
