……
Meanwhile, Zhuang Sen entered the reception room. He hadn't just made up an excuse; he genuinely needed to meet with his new vassals to finalize some matters. Upon his arrival, the Marquis of Plantagenet, the Marquis of Norsa, the Earl of Deep Forest, and the Earl of White Mountain Border, who had already been led into the hall by maids, immediately rose, displaying identical fawning smiles. The Marquis of Norsa, in particular, had specially changed into a glamorous off-the-shoulder V-neck diamond-encrusted gown, revealing a large expanse of fair skin, exuding the charm of a thirty-year-old woman, her eyes constantly flashing seductive glances at Zhuang Sen.
Unfortunately, Zhuang Sen had no interest in the fifty-year-old Marquis who had dozens of children but no monster girl bloodline. He put his arm around Ange and Mira and said, "I won't waste any more words. You should all know that His Majesty the King is preparing to take action against White City. Therefore, I need you to gather your troops and prepare to use the Thousand Towers Kingdom as a route to launch a blitzkrieg against White City. Also, you should implement the laws and policies currently in use in Leon Territory in your respective territories. Do you have any questions?"
This kind of negotiation, which only makes demands and doesn't even offer a tangible reward, would have previously driven the four people present to fight Zhuang Sen to the bitter end, even though they had all received warnings from King Baruo. But now they just nodded quickly, afraid that the scoundrel next to them would beat them to it and they would miss out on getting on the king's good side.
So politics is actually quite simple, just kidding.
Zhuang Sen couldn't truly exploit everyone; that kind of model was destined to be unsustainable. Offering no benefit and even losing money wouldn't last. Therefore, Zhuang Sen offered many concessions: "I'll cover half of your military pay, and I'll take care of the army's armaments. You only need to pay 80% of the market price. You don't have the corresponding bloodline for runes and items, so giving you the technology is useless. But I can develop channels for greenhouse cultivation and some potion formulas; you can either take the money directly or exchange them for battle merits later."
Now Marquis Goldfinch and his men nodded even more vigorously, declaring with unwavering resolve: "From now on, you will be our only sun!"
"loyalty!"
“Then let’s continue with the plan we agreed on beforehand. I hope you won’t make the same mistake as Earl Mila.” Zhuang Sen rubbed his chin against Ange and Mira’s equally smooth but different textured hair. “As for the specific details, let your people come and discuss them with my two family members later.”
Having devised a detailed plan, they discovered that the vampire beauty Mira, whose strength was inferior to Zhuang Sen's, glared coldly at the four people opposite them. The four people subconsciously looked at the smiling, eccentric, and manipulative Harpy beauty, Ange.
Either way, it's a dead cat.
Zhuang Sen finally stood up: "By the way, you guys also need to help deal with those people outside. I have no interest in discussing with them whether their wives and daughters can join my harem."
The four people who also wanted to ask this question reluctantly agreed.

Chapter 279: Holy Lance Angel 100%
Pure snowflakes reflected the sunlight. Under the witness of the magnificent scenery on the border of the White Mountains—the perpetually frozen snow-capped mountains—Beshi, dressed in the traditional wedding attire of the Behemoth clan, fell into Zhuang Sen's arms. The towering mountains and white clouds witnessed their vows. The golden light gilded the ancient monster girl's beautiful face, which was once filled with melancholy and sorrow, with a dazzling and charming golden smile. Then, as Beshi tiptoed, her lips fell onto Zhuang Sen's.
The guests, bundled up in heavy winter clothing, clapped and congratulated each other on the conclusion of this unique wedding. They then left on their own, leaving only Zhuang Sen and the others in the beautiful scenery. In the distance, the igloo that Bessie and Zhuang Sen had built was pushed open by Mira. Mira, who had already evolved on the way and become a [Sunwalker], basked in the light: "What are you two waiting for? Come inside!"
Hearing the shouts, Zhuang Sen scooped up Besh in his arms and, surrounded by his other wives, placed her on the ice bed covered with thick fur. He then pressed himself onto the not-so-short Behemoth dwarf, flattening her dwarf-like, frost-covered breasts. Besh smiled, gazing at Zhuang Sen with deep affection. Her small hand slid over his abs, pinching and gently stroking his manhood, and casually said, "Speaking of which, darling, I haven't done it with you like a child yet. How about today...?"
Dantalian, Lady Lya, Lilith, Nia, and Lysander's eyes lit up when they heard Besh's words. Zhuang Sen glanced at these boys who were obsessed with young boys with amusement, and kissed Besh's forehead: "Alright, I'll grant your wish."
Anyway, the development level of [Holy Gun Angel] is already at 98%, and switching will only drop it by 5% at most. And given the current situation, it's easy to make up for that 5%. So, the next second, Zhuang Sen switched to the [Watermelon Girl] form, turning into a pale-faced, red-lipped little boy nestled in the arms of a tall, slender older sister, looking like a pitiful boy being seduced by a bad woman, but the raging dragon in his lower body showed off his extraordinary fighting power.
"Indeed, they're different."
Eager to reproduce a Behemoth race with Zhuang Sen, Behemoth rubbed Zhuang Sen's round little belly, excitedly turning around and suppressing Zhuang Sen, swallowing his juicy big rod into her fiery nest. Her plump buttocks swayed, and she looked down at her lover's increasingly tender face. Maternal instincts overflowed from both her upper and lower body, and she tightly gripped Zhuang Sen, refusing to let go.
*Smack!* Zhuang Sen’s small handprint was left on Bessie’s plump, upturned buttocks. With a crisp sound, Zhuang Sen urged her to move with both hands. Bessie bit her red lips, looked at Zhuang Sen with seductive eyes, and began to sway her slender waist.
"What a naughty child!"
Lady Lia's plump buttocks pressed down on the bed, her alluring breasts swaying gently. She broke free from the tight constraints of her dress, pressing her heavy breasts against Zhuang Sen's lips, the cherry-like flesh gradually ripening and squeezing into his mouth. As the first person began to steal a taste, the others were not to be outdone. Dantalian, who had long been unable to restrain herself, curled her long tail, and her voluptuous, full-bodied member pressed down on Zhuang Sen, grabbing his hands and guiding them to the base of his wet, black-stockinged thighs and the center of his bare, voluptuous breasts.
"Ah, Dantalian, you are so cunning!"
Young Celine angrily accused, while the mature Lilith had already moved close to Lady Lia: "Sister, please, give me some, sister~"
Mrs. Lia moved aside with satisfaction, allowing Lilith's large, soft, and shiny breasts, seemingly born for the words "desire and lust," to squeeze next to her own, rubbing against Zhuang Sen's lips and chin. Her beautiful, perky nipples teased Zhuang Sen's lips.
So there really were no seats available.
But it doesn't matter, the bride is still too short. Under the stimulation of the three pairs of stunningly beautiful but incredibly charming breasts, Bessie quickly collapsed and is expected to be unable to get up for at least forty or fifty minutes, which is just enough time for Nia and Groo to show off their skills.
The first to take the lead was, of course, Super Nia. The loli-like body swallowed the increasingly magnificent and hard Da Zhuangsen with difficulty but skill. The fiery dwarven furnace was forging the steel behemoth, but unfortunately the dwarves did not have enough fuel. The furnace only burned for three minutes before being extinguished by a wave of water. It rolled onto the ice crystal floor, collapsing and panting. Then a new dwarven warrior appeared, repeating the fate of his predecessor.
After the dwarves finished, the vampire and the two beautiful girls, Harpy and Big Da Zhuangsen, finally reached an agreement. With Hana's help, they split Big Da Zhuangsen equally, each licking him while floating in the air. As payment for her support, Hana's gradually developing breasts took over the base, embracing the primordial seed sac. On the other side, Lime and Rani's eyes met. The clumsy slime's eyes darted around, and after Mira and Angela fell panting, Lime landed first on the bent-over Big Da Zhuangsen, waking him up with his soft, malleable body. Taking advantage of being fully covered, amidst several competing plump buttocks, Lime accurately inserted Big Da Zhuangsen into Rani's snake hole.
……
The sun went further and further away, and the silver moon rose and set.
Zhuang Sen opened his eyes again in the blinding sunlight, kissed the delicious Anjie brand steamed bun pressing against his lips, patted the plump, round buttocks within reach, woke up his wives who had been frantically cultivating all night, and opened the system panel. The system had sent quite a few notifications last night, but Zhuang Sen, engrossed in his beauty... cultivation, hadn't had a chance to look at them yet, so he took advantage of the time he got up to check them out.
Under the gentle and attentive care of his wives, Zhuang Sen lazily glanced at the control panel:
[The Holy Lance Angel has been developed to its ultimate level, and the Heart of Judgment has been obtained*1]
[The Heart of Judgment]
[The nascent form of the Holy Lance Angel, who carries out divine punishment, condensed over countless years.]
[Effect: Increases the power of Holy Lance abilities by 50%]
[Can be used as an anchor point for angel species nests]
【—The Gate of Limits】
[A superior bloodline has been developed to its limit, unlocking the inheritance space function. The host can now independently update the inheritance space of the corresponding bloodline.]
[Your superior bloodline has been developed to its limit, unlocking the ultimate evolution function. Please find the relics as soon as possible to unlock the corresponding ultimate evolution method.]
Can a level 5 bloodline evolve?
Zhuang Sen perked up and clicked on the new "Limited Evolution" feature. However, the page was completely gray, with only one item lit up: "Holy Gun Angel." From this item, three paths branched off, but the ends were also gray and unselectable. Clearly, without finding the relic, he couldn't even view it, let alone achieve Limited Evolution.
Then take a look at the [Inheritance Space].
Zhuang Sen opened another new page, which was lit up and looked very familiar—it was the Angel Sanctuary floating in the clouds that Lilith had visited during her inheritance! As Zhuang Sen selected it, the function's purpose immediately came to mind:
[The host can consume bloodline power to increase, delete, or modify the rules, rewards, punishments, and appearance of the inheritance space.]
How about we exploit a speedrun vulnerability?
Zhuang Sen excitedly prepared to operate, but the system popped up another prompt:
[A malfunction was detected in this inheritance space... Contact in progress... Contact established... Repair initiated... Repair failed... Core contaminated by inferior demonic creatures... Contact severed]
[Please expel the inferior demons from this inheritance space before using this system to remotely control it.]
Contaminated by inferior monsters?
Chapter 280: The Kingdom of a Thousand Towers
"Oh, it was approved so quickly?"
The day after Bessie's wedding, Johnson received another piece of good news: the Kingdom of Thousand Towers had approved his entry application, although this was expected.
The White Mountain Border Earl's Territory, as its name suggests, refers to the permafrost snow-capped mountains, and the border is due to its proximity to the Thousand Towers Kingdom. If the fortress on the other side allows passage, a large army can pass through instantly, advancing towards the Thousand Towers Kingdom's capital, the City of Knowledge, or retreating to one of the Thousand Towers Kingdom's ports and industrial cities. This is why Barroo included this area in Zhuang Sen's territory—to facilitate Zhuang Sen's previously stated plan to launch a surprise attack on White City by passing through the Thousand Towers Kingdom.
However, naturally, before that, Zhuang Sen needed to persuade the Thousand Towers Kingdom first. Therefore, Beshi's wedding wasn't the last; Mira's wedding would be held in the City of Knowledge. Using this as a pretext, Zhuang Sen would travel to the Thousand Towers Kingdom with his wives and a "guard" to persuade the current Speaker, who was also Mira's teacher. Mira assured him it would be simple; she had prepared an absolutely substantial bargaining chip to guarantee the unanimous agreement of all members of the Knowledge Council—her accumulated research findings.
"I've already stamped it, and it's only now that they've let it through. It's already very slow."
The only one who hadn't yet held a wedding with Zhuang Sen used this as an excuse to be very "sad" nestled in Zhuang Sen's arms, enjoying Zhuang Sen's feeding, and said indistinctly, "I guess it's mainly because you exposed yourself too early, Zhuang Sen. Entering the country as a bloodline user who has awakened five times is no small matter."
"If they knew there were actually two of them, wouldn't they just send them back to us?"
Zhuang Sen stroked the clingy vampire girl's hair and casually remarked. Along the way, unsurprisingly, the monster girls' strength had all improved again. Mira evolved into [Daywalker], Ange evolved from [Shadow Harpy] to [Harpy Noble], Hana evolved from [Sunflower Anawain] to [High-Rank Anawain], and Lydia evolved from [Duraham] to [Death Lord]. But the biggest improvement was seen in Dantalian, who had completed her fifth awakening and was now a genuine top-tier fighter in the world.
“Once we’re inside, as long as we don’t intend to overthrow the council, no one should be so suicidal.” Mira swallowed the last bit of milk and swayed her slender waist contentedly. “Besides, didn’t we set up a nest? At worst, we can teleport away at any time. The worst we’ll lose is the bloodline warriors we brought this time.”
Along the way, Zhuang Sen also planted three nest anchor points at three key locations: the [Corpse Demon Nest] in the capital of Marquis Norsa's territory, the [Goblin King Nest] in the capital of Marquis Goldfinch's territory, and the [Kraken Girl Nest], which appeared randomly in White Mountain City. These three nest anchor points naturally came from the rewards of bloodline upgrades and inheritances along the way, but that was all he had. Although Zhuang Sen still had three items that could be used as nest anchor points: the [Core of Judgment], the [Heart of Judgment], and the [Source Blood Gem - Lamia Subspecies], he didn't plan to use them unless absolutely necessary.
Once he obtains the White City relic, [Pure Purification], he can achieve freedom in his lair!
"So, can we set off now?"
"Wait for me just a little longer... Ooh~"
Several hours later, Zhuang Sen and his group passed through the border fortress of the Thousand Towers Kingdom, which was completely different in style from the Fallen Star Kingdom and had many pointed towers, and set foot on the land of the Thousand Towers Kingdom, and then...
“Your Highness Prince Johnson, Your Highness Mirata, I am Klose Koffnie, your humble guides,” said a lady dressed in a purple fitted robe and a wide-brimmed hat, a common sight in the Kingdom of Thousand Towers.
She is Mira's aunt.
……
Half a month later, in early March when spring was in full bloom, Zhuang Sen arrived at the capital of the Thousand Towers Kingdom, the City of Knowledge. Nine layers of black city walls stretched from the plains all the way to the mountain peaks. Countless towers stood side by side, each surrounded by a distinct area. Beneath the steel towers, the sounds of hammering echoed; beneath the book towers, the air was thick with the scent of ink; beneath the guard towers, there were taverns and horse ranches… It could be said that this City of Knowledge truly deserved the title of City of a Thousand Towers, and certainly more than a thousand towers.
The most magnificent sight, of course, is the towering pagoda perched atop this city built into the mountainside. It stands majestically, seemingly reaching into the clouds, and is the tallest and most famous of the thirteen "Towers of Knowledge" in the entire Thousand Towers Kingdom—the only one truly deserving the title "Tower of Wisdom." In the parliamentary system of the Thousand Towers Kingdom, it is a sacred place that all the inhabitants of the Thousand Towers dream of, hoping only to witness up close, and even daring not to dream of setting foot inside.
But for Mira, it was simply her usual place to study. And for Johnson, it would be his dinner spot that day.
Alas, academic cliques, alas, aristocrats.
……
The long-sealed steel door let out a dull thud and slowly opened inward. The sound of hinges and gears turning startled birds and drew chatter from passersby.
"Why is the main entrance open today?"
"Are you stupid? Wasn't it said that some prince from the Falling Star Kingdom was coming?"
"Is that the prince who's going to marry Miss Koffne? Brothers!"
"What is the council thinking! I heard that out-of-towner has more than twenty wives, and he only became a prince by marrying the little princess of the Falling Star Kingdom. He was just an earl before! Does he deserve this kind of treatment?!"
"Exactly! How dare a barbarian lay his hands on Miss Koffne?!"
"Why? Because he has a level five bloodline and has awakened five times! Because he's only seventeen years old and already a prince who effectively controls three marquisates!"
As the nine gates opened, similar discussions and arguments quickly spread, even reaching Zhuang Sen's carriage.
"See?" Klose Koffnie, Mira's aunt and the guide assigned to Zhuang Sen by the Council of the Thousand Towers Kingdom, said with a smile, "That's why the Council hasn't prepared a wedding for Mira right away. Mira's suitors can really affect the stability of the entire kingdom. If the Council were to marry her off so casually, a civil war might break out tomorrow."
Zhuang Sen nodded: "That makes a lot of sense. As expected of my Mira. So, do you need my help to quell the rebellion?"
Klose Koffner's smile froze, while Mira, who had returned to her calm and serene demeanor from her first appearance, burst out laughing and fell into Zhuang Sen's arms, pounding his chest with her little fist: "Darling, don't say that to the Speaker later, okay?"
Zhuang Sen put his arm around Mira's slender waist and raised his eyebrows to ask, "What's wrong? She got angry about this?"
Mira gave a sly smile: "No, she will really send you to quell the rebellion."
Zhuang Sen paused for a moment, then looked at Klose Koffner, who covered her face and sighed, "Nine levels of hell—"
Chapter 281: The Banquet and the Professional
Although the public was outraged, no one actually attempted to assassinate Zhuang Sen. Zhuang Sen smoothly completed the formal procedures of the Thousand Towers Kingdom and entered the [Tower of Wisdom] as a prince, where he met the King and Queen of the Thousand Towers Kingdom, as well as members of the council. Yes, the Thousand Towers Kingdom does have a king, but he is no longer the supreme ruler. Excluding certain economic and ceremonial privileges, his actual power is roughly equivalent to 1.5 members of parliament.
As for why, you have to ask why they haven't produced a single Level 5 bloodline user all these years.
……
"Welcome, Prince Zhuang Sen. Please don't mind the cramped space."
The king, who was over sixty years old, chuckled and looked at the beautiful women behind Zhuang Sen. "These must be the princesses. Young people are so healthy. Unlike an old man like me, I'm almost too busy to serve just one." The queen, who was about the same age as the king, patted her husband's hand and looked at Mira warmly. "Mira, it's been so long! Mystic has been talking about you."
Missy, or Missy Noah, is Mira's teacher and the honorary chairperson of the Knowledge Council, as well as the master of the [Tower of Wisdom] where they currently reside. As for a non-honorary chairperson… there isn't one. Because Missy refused to serve as chairperson, the other council members simply didn't elect a chairperson, allowing Missy to lead them in her honorary chairperson capacity—quite a strange occurrence indeed.
She was standing next to the old queen at that moment, and smiled as she heard the queen speak: "I don't talk as much as you, Your Majesty, not to mention the little prince, who says 'Sister Mira said' nine out of ten times."
That was quite interesting. Zhuang Sen looked to the old king's right, at the young prince, who was probably sixteen or seventeen years old. He was fair-skinned, had a scholarly air about him, and looked quite good-looking. Unfortunately, compared to Zhuang Sen, he was just "good-looking." And whether it was intentional or accidental, when Zhuang Sen was looking at him, he looked at Mira with a look of mustering up his courage. However, reality was clearly different from what he expected.
Mira clung to Zhuang Sen's hand, her increasingly full breasts flanking his strong arms. Her sweet smile seemed to overflow, instantly turning the little prince's brave eyes into stunned disbelief, his clenched fists inside his robe sleeves falling limply. Zhuang Sen shook his head slightly, gently pulling away from Mira's embrace with his right hand. Hope flickered in the little prince's surprised eyes. Then, Zhuang Sen lifted Mira up, his large hand slipping inside her thick Gothic dress, cradling her shapely buttocks encased in black stockings, and kissed her smooth, luscious red lips: "You have quite a few suitors, my dear."
"Just like in the Fallen Star Kingdom, darling, do you know how many people want to introduce their daughters or sisters to you every day?" Mira kissed Zhuang Sen in return, satisfying her man's possessiveness and perverse sense of humor. After all, she was the Speaker's student, not the King's, and to be honest, she only had a level four bloodline.
The old king laughed heartily, his expression kind and gentle: "Miila and His Highness the Prince are truly a loving couple. It seems I no longer need to worry about Duke Covene's rebellion."
Zhuang Sen didn't push too hard, mainly because there wasn't much to worry about. The little prince was only a level four bloodline, a second awakening, and could normally be considered a little genius. Unfortunately, he really was just a little genius. In the Thousand Towers Kingdom, he didn't even have the means to use his power to oppress others. Just like the old king said, Duke Kofne wouldn't do this or that to you, let alone Speaker Missy, who truly held the power.
At this moment, the speaker who had just maliciously stirred up trouble stepped forward again: "Alright, everyone, stop standing and talking. The food at the banquet is getting cold. Mira hasn't had any home-cooked food in a long time, has she?"
“Indeed, although I hired a chef from the Kingdom of Thousand Towers, his skills probably aren’t as good as the royal chef’s.” Zhuang Sen held Mira in his arms, showing no intention of putting her down. No one said it was against etiquette. Mira, however, buried her face in Zhuang Sen’s chest with a blush under the teasing gazes of acquaintances like Klose Koffne and Missy Noah, which attracted even more teasing and playful banter from the other monster girls.
……
At the banquet, Zhuang Sen and his wives took their seats. Being in front of outsiders and on a formal occasion, the monster girls were quite restrained. Even Lyme and Glona behaved themselves well, and no guests came to cause trouble. The power of a fifth awakening was truly formidable. Although some wanted to test the waters, it was clear they weren't foolish enough to step forward themselves. Of course, serious matters couldn't be discussed at this welcoming banquet. Just when Zhuang Sen thought the evening would pass by unnoticed, the courageous, handsome young prince approached, his face flushed.
"Prince Zhuang Sen, I... I challenge you to a duel!"
With this shout, the lively banquet instantly fell silent. The old king's face paled, and he quickly stood up, simultaneously ordering his guards to restrain the young prince: "Prince Zhuangsen, the child doesn't know any better..."
Zhuang Sen, holding Mira in his arms, smiled and nodded to the old king: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know. I've been drunk before. Who hasn't been like that?"
"You're right." The old king breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Zhuang Sen would use this opportunity to kill the young prince. This was the most talented person in their family. He had awakened twice at the age of sixteen. If he maintained this pace, he might awaken four times by the age of thirty. At that time, even if he couldn't revitalize the royal family, at least he could keep the royal family from being suppressed and manipulated by the council.
However, before the old king could even catch his breath, a scene that sent his blood pressure soaring even higher unfolded before him: the little prince, glowing with light, burst through the guards' encirclement and threw the white glove he was clutching at Zhuang Sen: "I'm not drunk! Zhuang Sen! Fight me!"
The monster girls' faces darkened instantly. Dantalian and Celine, sitting next to Zhuang Sen, both stood up, ready to stop the white-gloved boy and personally teach this clueless brat a lesson. Mira's pretty face was even more gloomy, her blood-red eyes flashing with murderous intent. The little prince's headstrong duel was an insult to someone of Zhuang Sen's status, not to mention that after Zhuang Sen tried to smooth things over, he even tried to throw the white glove at Zhuang Sen's face. Such an insult would be justifiable for Zhuang Sen to kill him on the spot.
However, Zhuang Sen stopped his angry wives, caught the flying white glove, and looked at the glowing little prince with interest, asking, "Little prince, you should know that I am a bloodline user who has awakened five times, right? Are you sure you really want to challenge me? And what qualifications do you have to challenge me?"
As Zhuang Sen spoke, his gaze swept over the other princes, causing the oldest of them, who were over forty, to lower their heads guiltily. Clearly, the young prince's abrupt behavior was partly instigated by them, but that shouldn't be the primary factor. The young prince wasn't some idiot unaware of the difference between a fifth and second awakening; unless he had some real confidence in his victory, he wouldn't have jumped out like that, no matter how much he was provoked. In the end, he would be the one to lose face, even his life.
Unless he truly believed he could win, and Zhuang Sen was genuinely curious about this. The Thousand Towers Kingdom was a kingdom targeted by the True Blood Duke, so there was a high possibility that it possessed relics, or at least divine artifacts. Furthermore, the Thousand Towers Kingdom was a scholarly nation obsessed with research; who knew what kind of amazing feats they might come up with? Even a merchant nation like the White City Federation could create a snow bear's lair; could the Thousand Towers Kingdom possibly create some kind of artificial monster girl?
While Zhuang Sen was lost in thought, the little prince was further enraged by his nonchalant attitude and shouted, "Don't think you're so great just because you have a level five bloodline! I'm the first level five professional!"
Snapped!
