Lord, you’re back, come have a drink with Blom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big Beard Blom, holding a cup, drunkenly said, “Assam is nearly done for, nobody drinks with me anymore!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Assam, across from him, was as steady as a rock, just with a slightly flushed face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Blom himself who was nearly crawling under the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing laughed, “Well, everything here is settled, it’s time to head back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Blom blew at his handlebar mustache and stood up, “Alright then, Assam, I admit your drinking capacity is indeed impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But next time, I’ll definitely drink you under the table.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Assam’s resolute face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing then went straight to the bar to pay for their expenses for the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Total expenses: 847 crowns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Cao Xing, this amount of money was pretty much negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they cheerfully left Zhuolan Tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the sky was gradually darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group, in a grand fashion, left Hog Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Bai and Frost Wolf were still waiting outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Blom in such a drunken state, Cao Xing was really worried he’d run into a rock while traveling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, he directly took out a sled for four from his backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hung the sled rope onto Da Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing ordered, “Assam, put Blom on, and Rach, you get on too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the newcomer Rach tentatively glanced at the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them silent, he cautiously got on the sled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Cao Xing directly ordered, “Go, return!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud! Thud thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Bai galloped down the road with the sled in tow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the sled, Blom and Rach continuously exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gods above! How can this mammoth run so fast?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I… I’m feeling a bit dizzy…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rach tightly gripped the wooden handle of the sled, his pupils gradually turning white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blom also mumbled, “Oh! Gods above! Da Bai, slow down, everything I ate last night is about to come up again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Blom promptly threw up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riding the sled was hardly as effortless as riding a mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Da Bai’s terrifying speed, a slight bump here and there could jolt their hearts and livers out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Blom in such a pathetic state, Assam, Andrew, and the others couldn’t help but chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they didn’t pay much mind to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who asked this guy to drink so much when he clearly couldn’t handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the journey back, Cao Xing quietly pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s objectives, exploring the Ascalon Tomb, defeating Fang Long, and seeking out Spiritual Spring Water, were mostly accomplished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they had also recruited a bartender, unlocking the tavern’s recruitment function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he hadn’t found blacksmiths, doctors, or other talents he wanted this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor had he found any leads on the Moses Grass old Mel mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing shook his head, “I’ll figure everything else out tomorrow, it’s too late today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud! Thud thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Bai continued to gallop down the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its current speed, they would reach the territory in just over ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, they arrived near the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From afar, Cao Xing noticed his territory had changed once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quarter of the walls had been built up from three meters to four meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elemental Arrow Towers increased to twenty, with five water-blue Frost Arrow Towers beside them, and several watchtowers added a sense of intimidation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, it was clear that the territory’s defense abilities were exceptionally strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction, “Not bad, not bad, many hands make light work; the construction speed is amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now had dozens of Polar People under him, along with more than fifty other subjects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many people working hard, his territory was changing day by day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they arrived at the foot of the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recognizing Lord Cao Xing’s identity, the iron gates automatically opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young Rach, like other newcomers, curiously gazed around upon entering the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the towering Elemental Arrow Towers and the Imperial Archers standing alert on the watchtowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rach let out bursts of exclamations now and then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True God above! I’ve lived in Hog Village for so many years and never knew there was such a prosperous territory nearby!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this the power of the Chosen Lord?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Rach’s praise, the drunken Blom patted his shoulder with a big hand, “Haha! Kid, you have a keen eye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I saw this territory today, I was just as amazed as you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rach nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing turned with a smile, “Rach, our tavern is just ahead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll show you around the place a bit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rach nodded earnestly, “Alright, esteemed Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Rach finally understood the extent of this lord’s energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t just a territory; it was nearly turning into a fortress!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Living in such a territory meant never having to worry about Snow Demons or Hunter threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dazhuang and others, having seen Cao Xing and the others’ return, quickly gathered together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone wore equally enthusiastic smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all saluted simultaneously, “Welcome back, Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>",868,"2026-05-28T19:24:00.559Z","2026-06-01T04:28:50.701Z",1,"novelbin.me","84e0fd7c8ec4a0281f0d9d14f7b9a5d6ab82eb375c1b46c96b06be9c2ca115d3","apocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-chapter-229","apocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-chapter-227",1544,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-cover.jpg"]
