“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.
