Chapter 180
Before Xia Zoe left, the leader of the Cardi tribe, Blarri, first took Shamel to say goodbye to him. They were ready to return to Cardi, and of course, they also took away Shamel’s father, Marquis Gary.
Burari: “Lord, thank you again for taking care of the Kadi tribe…”
He said a lot, which roughly meant that if the Desinian Territory needed help in the future, the Kadi tribe was bound to define it. Finally, the topic turned to the Panthers.
“Afra seems to get along well with Brown Sugar. I will leave Afra from the lord here, hoping that it can give birth to a cute baby leopard with Brown Sugar.”
Xia Zoe nodded and thanked Blarri.
He looked at Samuel again. This was the first time the two met after Samuel followed Blarri here.
Since Shamel is willing to follow Blarri back to the Cardi tribe, it also means that she is not totally insensitive to Blarri.
As long as Blarri works harder, the final result of the two will definitely end in a happy way.
He said: “Bless you in advance. If there is a wedding at that time, please be sure to notify me and let me give you wedding gifts.”
This is probably different from the best ending in the original book.
The atmosphere between Shamel and Blarri is harmonious, and they seem to get a lot closer.
After she smiled and thanked Xia Zoe for her blessing, she stood quietly by Blarri’s side, no longer keeping her eyes on Xia Zoe’s body as persistently as before.
When the two left, Xia Zuoy personally went to see him off.
After that, he was also ready to set off, first went to the Kingdom of Anas to see Queen Minina, and then returned to Pal Mountain.
Prior to this, Orville bid farewell to Xia Zoe and returned to the territory of Akiyoli.
Before leaving, he said: “If Brown Sugar has a child, please be sure to let me know.”
Xia Zoe: “…Hmm.”
…………
What Shazoe and Queen Minina personally discussed was to build a storage pond and dam in the upper reaches of the Volli River that can withstand drought.
This is a small water storage project.
The pond dam is built on the hillside, taking advantage of certain natural conditions.
Moreover, the artificially built ponds and dams have two functions: they are bridges in drought and dikes in floods.
After the construction of the pond and dam is completed, it can be used to store water during drought and draw water to irrigate the surrounding fields and crops.
Secondly, it is convenient for people to walk back and forth on the dam.
The reason why Xia Zoe wants to discuss with Queen Minina is because the location of the upper reaches of the Volli River is within the territory of the Kingdom of Anas, and the right to use it is not here.
But he didn’t want to give up the construction of the impoundment dam to the Kingdom of Anas.
Xia Zuoy hopes to control it in his own hands-after all, part of the territory of Desinia is in the lower reaches of the Volri River.
The role of storage ponds and dams is not temporary, but continues in the future, and the surrounding benefits are endless.
Simply talking about how to deal with drought in the future has already demonstrated its value.
However, it is a bit difficult for Xia Zoe to have the control of Tangba, because it is impossible for him to cross Queen Minina to construct projects in the territory of the Kingdom of Anas at will.
Unless, the territories of this upper part of the Volli River belong to the Territory of Desinia.
Xia Zoe decides to exchange territory for territory, but she doesn’t know what Queen Minina wants.
Therefore, he personally came to the Kingdom of Anas to discuss with him.
…………
After he finally came to the Kingdom of Anas, Queen Minina expressed surprise and hesitation when he told the matter.
She hesitated and did not answer.
However, Minina did not reject Xia Zoe’s proposal at the first time, but hoped to give her some time to think.
During this period, Xia Zuoy and others can temporarily live in Archibald’s residence.
Fortunately, Minina gave a positive answer shortly afterwards.
She agreed to exchange part of the territory.
This is not only because Xia Zoe once gave her a precious gift, which allowed her to regain her confidence at the banquet, but also indirectly helped her and Archie overthrow the king.
It is even more because the Territory of Desinia is now the largest territory in the entire Western Continent.
The power and status that Xia Zoe possessed were enough to allow him to decide anything easily.
What if she disagrees.
As long as Xia Zoe doesn’t give up his ownership of the upper Volri River, in the end, he will always achieve what he wants by other means.
And this “other method” is not necessarily something Minina can afford…
Before Xia Zoe left the Kingdom of Anas, Archibald approached him, hoping to talk about it alone.
It’s in the courtyard full of greenery.
Xia Zoe agreed.
“Are you with the Pope?” Archibald asked directly instead of circumstance.
Although they didn’t say it clearly, the atmosphere between the two had obviously changed.
“Yes.” Xia Zoe nodded and admitted.
Archibald seemed to just want to get an exact answer. After hearing Xia Zoe’s answer, he exhaled and leaned on the courtyard column, a little distracted.
After a while, he said: “I should bless you, little Zoe, but I don’t want to say anymore.”
Archibald paused and smiled bitterly: “I still feel uncomfortable when I hear this… Give me some more time.”
“I will put it down slowly…”
Xia Zoe did not speak, but gave him a comforting pat.
Archibald smiled suddenly: “I don’t want to make you embarrassed, and I don’t want to make you sad. If the Pope treats you badly, you have to remember me.”
“Thank you, Archie.”
These words could only reach here, and the two stopped talking immediately and began to talk about other things.
In the end, we had a good chat, and Xia Zoe didn’t leave until the sun slanted west.
Dinner is used in the room. In fact, breakfast and lunch are the same. After all, on the first day of staying in Archibald, the atmosphere between the Pope and His Royal Highness at the table was… very embarrassing and depressing. .
After that, Xia Zuoy decided not to dine in each room.
Before he returned to the room, he saw Udit standing at the door and couldn’t help asking what was wrong.
Udit said: “Lord, the pope is in the crown, saying that he is going to have a meal with you, look…”
Dinner is already prepared in the room.
Xia Zoe knew it: “I see, you can go down first, Judit.”
“Yes, Lord.” Judith heard the words and left immediately.
Xia Zoe pushed the door in, and saw the pope’s crown smiling and beckoning to him: “Talking to Cavendish for so long, the food is going to be cold.”
“hungry?”
Xia Zuoyi selectively skipped his previous sentence, touched his stomach and nodded: “I’m hungry.”
“Come and eat.”
When Xia Zoe walked over, he hesitated. He always felt that the pope seemed…
He coughed dryly: “Archie saw that between you and me… He just wanted to talk to me before I left, and didn’t mean anything else.”
“I talked with Archie for a long time and didn’t pay attention to the time. You…do you mind?”
It doesn’t look happy anymore.
Saigalot smiled gently: “Why, you think too much, let’s eat first, isn’t it hungry?”
“Really don’t mind, nor upset?”
At this time, Xia Zuoyi had reached the front of Saigalote. He just wanted to sit down, but was caught off guard by him and fell into his arms, and suddenly sat on the lap under the pope’s crown.
Saigalote leaned forward and kissed the tender lips of the opponent, entangled the tip of his tender tongue…
After that, he said hoarsely and lowly: “Mind, I’m not happy, would you like little Zoe to coax me?”
Xia Zuoyi panted slightly: “Isn’t this coaxing.”
“No, this is my initiative.” Saigalote lightly tapped his pink cheeks and smiled.
Xia Zuoyi made a profit, sat up from his arms under the crown of the Pope, and kissed the other’s eyebrows perfunctorily: “Well, coax, let me go, I want to eat.”
Saigalote shook his head helplessly, then let go of him.
Can’t let the baby be hungry.
The dinner is very hearty, with red wine.
Xia Zuoyi didn’t really like the sweet soup made today. After eating the staple food, he poured a glass of red wine to quench his thirst.
He licked his lips after drinking, and said without shame: “I feel that I drink much better.”
Although it is not up to the level of drinking wine as water, it is no longer as good as to be drunk at a little bit.
Saigalote said profoundly: “Is that so?”
“Of course.” Xia Zoe confirmed, and immediately put down the glass that he had finished drinking.
Saigalote poured another sweet wine.
His slender fingers squeezed the slender wine glass base and shook it gently. The beautiful color of the wine and the warm light reflected each other, which seemed to be mixed with a misty halo, and the white hand behind it became more and more attractive.
Xia Zoe stared at it involuntarily.
Then the hand took the wine glass and slowly passed it in front of him.
Xia Zoe’s eyes were puzzled.
Saigalote chuckled and said, “I’ll feed you.”
As he said, the rim of the wine glass was close to Xia Zoe’s lips, and the intoxicating aroma of wine instantly filled his nose.
Xia Zoe couldn’t help but open his mouth and drank it.
“Well.”
The last bit of bright red wine overflowed and slipped down Chazoe’s mouth…Segalot’s eyes fell deep over him…
I don’t know how long it took before Saigalote pecked and left a little bit reluctantly. He asked hoarsely, “Are you drunk?”
Xia Zoe hummed softly, looking confused like a cat smelling catnip.
He chased Seghalote, held the opponent’s lips and bit a few times, and then followed his previous movements into the tip of his tongue…
It seems to be drunk.
Saigalote’s body froze, and his heart began to beat quickly, as if a strong tremor was trembling all over his body. At the same time, a scorching heat that could not be ignored also rose from his chest…
He loved the bold and undisguised behavior of Xia Zoe so much.
This allows him to truly feel that the other party has the same feelings and passionate love as him.
After a long and lingering kiss ended, Saigalote heard the person in his arms ask softly: “Are you drunk?”
He did not drink, but he was also drunk.
Saigalote whispered in his ear: “Of course.”
After he finished speaking, he hugged Xia Zoe and walked towards the big bed…
The next day, Segarot sighed, but still did not eat his mouth.
The author has something to say: Xia Xia: Shy, go home again…
Pope: What more?
Xia Xia: Hehehe.
Pope: I think, I get it.
