Goblin Reincarnation in Another World (Anime/Manga)

Page 259

Good heavens, this is a classic case of revealing one's true colors. Julianus bluntly stated his conditions. Because of the conversation between Julianus and Niu Zida, everyone else present had already held their breath and dared not utter a sound...

Chapter 595 The Choice of the Legal Wife

Chapter 595.

Faced with Julianus's outburst, even though Ningguang had analyzed the pros and cons with Niu Zida multiple times beforehand and reminded him to be careful, Niu Zida was still caught off guard by the directness of the question at the welcome banquet. Niu Zida was even slightly stunned for a moment before realizing he should say something and quickly said:

"Lord Julianus's proposal is very interesting, and I am considering it carefully..."

"Does this matter require such a long consideration? I'm sorry, Viscount, but as a knight, I believe that a direct confrontation is also a matter of honor and respect."

Clearly, Julianus didn't want to let this issue slide. As Niu Zida's ally, he also valued his sister's identity. After all, as a knight, reputation was extremely important, and he didn't want his precious, beautiful sister to live as a slave. Taking advantage of the fact that he had the most leverage, he was determined to force Niu Zida to make a decision.

He also knew that once Niu Zida defeated the combined counterattack of Altaïr and Fortini, the strategic importance of his Kumani family's territory would likely decline. At that point, he would have far fewer negotiating options with Niu Zida, and might even have to appease Niu Zida. As an outstanding lord, Julianus wouldn't lack this strategic vision. He could politically side with Niu Zida, but demanding or even blackmailing him for the most benefits at the right time was also an essential political skill.

"Lord Julianus, it's not appropriate to discuss such an important matter now."

"It's nothing. Su Liya has been with the Viscount for a long time. Surely she hasn't thought about this issue yet."

Ignoring Ningguang's attempts to stop him, Julianus insisted on continuing the conversation. The atmosphere had become incredibly tense, and it seemed that if Julianus wasn't given an answer today, the rest of the negotiations would be impossible to continue.

"Ahem, is it absolutely necessary to give an answer to this question today?"

"I think this is about our future cooperation."

It seems that Julianus is not willing to drag things out any longer and has simply stated his bottom line. It appears that if Niu Zida does not agree this time, he can forget about getting his support to continue the siege of Altaïr.

"Marrying Sulia is no problem, but... being her as the legal wife... is simply impossible."

"Huh? Why is that?"

"Because...because I already have a wife."

"The Viscount is already married? Who is it? Princess Charlotte?"

Julianus looked surprised, but continued to press for the identity of Niu Zida's wife. Niu Zida, nestled in Joel's arms, steeled himself and simply squeezed Ningguang's large breast, saying:

“I have already married Ningguang, and Ningguang is my legal wife.”

"Ah? So it's Lady Ningguang from Yunlai Port..."

Upon hearing this answer, Julianus was initially shocked, but then he let out a understandable sigh. After all, Ningguang had been the one providing logistical support for Niu Zida's siege of Altaïr, so it made sense if Ningguang was Niu Zida's wife.

However, compared to Julianus, the reactions of Niu Zida's other female slaves were more interesting. Joel was relatively calm, only her rosy lips twitched slightly. Aine and Yulisia stared at Ningguang with their mouths wide open. Jinxi and Nilu were curious, while Yun Jin, Hoshino Ai, and Hoshino Ai Rui didn't care. After all, they had just joined Niu Zida's harem, and this matter had little to do with them. It was originally a gift that Ningguang bought for Niu Zida.

And of course, Ningguang had the strongest reaction. At first, she looked incredulous, but then tears welled up in her beautiful eyes without her noticing. Such an excited expression had never appeared on the delicate, snow-white face of this composed and elegant beauty before.

"Owner……"

"Yes, Ningguang and I are engaged, right, Ningguang?"

"Mmm...husband...yes..."

Ningguang was very clever; even in her excitement, she immediately understood Niu Zida's meaning. She quickly changed her tune, pulling Niu Zida from Joel's arms and kissing him on the forehead with her full, red lips. Joel, hearing this, was somewhat stunned, probably not expecting Niu Zida to drop such a bombshell.

"So that's how it is... No wonder..."

"So, Lord Julianus... if Suria and I were to marry, Suria would probably only be my concubine."

A concubine is a slave, whose status is higher than that of a female slave but lower than that of a principal wife. She is considered a half-servant. As for female servants, this is not a formal title among nobles. It is just a temporary title that Niu Zida gave to Aponia and Joel, not wanting to bind them with the title of "favored concubine".

"No, Su Liya cannot be a concubine."

Julianus naturally disagreed. As a knight, he valued his honor above all else. How could his sister become someone else's concubine? Even though she was currently in an ambiguous relationship with Niu Zida, she was still leading an army on her own. Moreover, Su Liya hadn't been with Niu Zida recently and had been ruling her territory independently. This made it impossible for Julianus to find fault with Niu Zida. He could have used the pretext of insulting Su Liya's reputation to launch an attack.

"If Yuri"

Chapter 870

If Lord Janus cannot agree, then let's reconsider this matter.

Hearing Niu Zida say this, Julianus had nothing to say, and the banquet resumed as normal. However, it was clear that Julianus had lost all interest, and after drinking a few cups, he hastily took his leave.

After the banquet, Niu Zida specifically asked Ningguang and Yuer to serve him in bed together. The two women naturally understood the deeper meaning behind this. After entering the bedroom, Ningguang took Yuer's hand and began to explain:

“Miss Joel, please don’t misunderstand. This is a temporary response from my master in response to Julianus’s pressure. It is just a stopgap measure.”

"Of course I know about this kind of thing..."

Despite this answer, it was clear that Joel was not very enthusiastic, and his tone was weak and listless.

"Yes, given the atmosphere at the time, this was the only solution I could come up with. Joel, are you angry?"

"Master, please don't joke. How could I joke about something like this? Besides, it's your right to marry whichever girl you want, and you don't need to ask me. After all, I'm just your maid."

Although what Joel said was reasonable, Niu Zida and Ningguang could both sense the slight jealousy in his voice. After all, she was one of the earliest members of their harem, and her status had never been settled. This time, when Julianus raised the issue of Surya's status, it was as if the same issue had been exposed in Niu Zida's harem. Joel couldn't help but wonder in his heart how his master viewed his situation.

"Yor, don't say that. How could you possibly be a maid in my eyes? You and Mother Aponia are the most important people to me."

Niu Zida quickly rushed into Joel's arms, kneading her firm breasts through the beautiful woman's red sweater. Joel would lift her sweater to make it easier for Niu Zida to pinch her smooth, white flesh, but her delicate face showed no excitement. It was clear that she was simply fulfilling her duty to serve her master. It seemed that Julianus's question had made Joel concerned about her status.

"Thank you, Master..."

“Master, even if you manage to appease Julianus, there are still two issues to resolve. First, how do we negotiate with him? Second, if he really wants to marry me… do we really have to hold a wedding to cover it up?”

"As for the conditions, I will add Desharin Town. As for the wedding, let's just use the excuse that we don't need to worry about etiquette since a great war is imminent."

"Master, why are you so reluctant to marry Su Liya? Don't you like Su Liya?"

Listening to Niu Zida and Ningguang's conversation, Yor, holding Niu Zida, asked curiously. Niu Zida, lying in the beautiful woman's arms, was eating Yor's large breast, sucking on the red nipple, and after a few forceful sucks, drew out a little milk. After drinking it, Niu Zida exclaimed:

"It's been so long since I've had Yoel's wife's milk, it's so delicious."

"Master, really, stop fooling around."

After being sucked hard on the nipple by Niu Zida a few times, a blush of shame finally appeared on Yu'er's fair face. Although she said a coquettish word, she still hugged Niu Zida and pressed all her breasts against his face so that Niu Zida could suckle.

"That's right. It seems I'll definitely have to take Joel with me when I go out in the future. That way, even the food problem will be solved."

Ningguang smiled as she watched Niu Zida kiss and lick Yor's large breast, but a ripple of emotion stirred within her. Seeing Yor so unhappy, she would comfort him. When would she be able to receive such treatment from her master?

After taking a few big bites of the large apple from the tree, Niu Zida finally raised his head and continued:

“Joel, didn’t you ask me why I don’t want to marry Sulia? The reason is simple: I don’t want to continue expanding my influence with Julianus.”

Once he and Sulia are married and have children, Julianus will become a powerful maternal relative. Sulia, in order for her son to inherit the title, will inevitably contact her brother to form a powerful maternal relative in return. When one is weak, one can seek help from a powerful maternal relative through marriage, but as the ruler who controls the world, it is absolutely impossible to choose a powerful maternal relative for a marriage alliance.

Niu Zida was well aware of this, after all, in the world before he transmigrated, the Eastern Han Dynasty had long-term marriage alliances with noble families, which resulted in the power of the maternal relatives. In turn, the maternal relatives would install a young emperor, control the emperor, and cause the collapse of the imperial court.

"Has Master actually thought that far ahead?"

"As long as the logistical problems can be solved during the siege of Altaïr, I will not be afraid even if the army of the Kingdom of Fortini attacks."

"Master, do you really think the conditions offered by Desalin Town can keep Julianus in check?"

Like Ningguang, Joel was also worried about this problem. Niu Zida, lying in Joel's arms, thought for a moment and said:

“If Julianus still does not agree, I intend to give Julianus all the land from the town of Tras to the city of Altaïr as well.”

It seems that Niu Zida's attitude is very clear: even if he gives Julianus more land as a reward, he will absolutely not give him the opportunity to intervene and control his sphere of influence.

Chapter 596 The Difficulties of Negotiation

Chapter 596.

“Since you have already made your decision, then you can continue to negotiate this condition with Julianus tomorrow. However, I feel that since the other party has suffered such a major setback today, they may not be very polite to you in the next negotiation.”

Niu Zida's attitude today basically means he has rejected Julianus's marriage proposal. This is no small matter for a nobleman, and the subsequent negotiations will inevitably face many obstacles. Ningguang shared this concern with Niu Zida. In fact, even now, considering the interests involved, Ningguang still leans towards Niu Zida accepting the marriage.

"Ningguang, do you mean I should marry Suliya?"

"Yes."

"But if I marry Su Liya, won't your status be affected? Why do you keep urging me to accept this condition?"

"Because I am my master's slave girl, of course I have to consider things for my master. Moreover, as long as I can make my master happy, I can be any kind of demon. Besides, my master's strength is the guarantee for the prosperity of Yunlai Port. I have helped my master so much. Once my master fails, he will inevitably be purged by the countries of the Western Sea Continent. How can I protect Yunlai Port then?"

"Haha, don't worry, Yunlai Port is an important commercial city, of course I will fully support you."

"However, Master, I think Julianus might give you a difficult task tomorrow."

"We'll see when the time comes...maybe things won't be so bad."

Ningguang's analysis was reasonable and flawless. Niu Zida understood Ningguang's predicament, but felt that things might not necessarily develop in a bad direction, and he still held onto a glimmer of hope.

Niu Zida sucked on Yole's big nipple for a while, then made Yole tilt her head back and open her tender red mouth to suck on his huge thing and slowly swallow it. Ningguang then took over and hugged Niu Zida, once again assuming the posture of holding him to urinate. Holding Niu Zida in mid-air, she could comfortably aim at Yole's little mouth and thrust.

"Mmm... Hmph..."

Joel squinted her beautiful eyes, crawled on the bed like a dog, and inserted her head between Niu Zida's legs, taking his huge member into her mouth and enduring his thrusts. Niu Zida held Joel's head down and began to thrust rhythmically.

"It's been a long time since I've used Joel's little mouth. As expected, Joel's wife's little mouth is the best at sucking."

Niu Zida felt the small mouth constantly sucking and tightening, coordinating with his movements, and then gradually increasing in speed, even reaching the throat. After hundreds of thrusts, he finally released all his desire in Joel's small mouth.

Chapter 871

After Joel swallowed all of it, Niu Zida was held by Ningguang and rested for a while. Then Joel took off her black-stockinged buttocks and let Niu Zida enter from behind, and began to thrust hard.

After a fierce battle, Niu Zida rested, and then vented his desire on Ningguang's body again. There was no way he could only favor one of the two beauties while he was holding them. Oh well, he thought to himself as he lay between the two beauties' soft breasts, playing with their delicate flesh, after their battle.

The next day, Niu Zida ate breakfast in his bedroom before meeting with Julianus. Today was the day for formal negotiations, as Niu Zida had been away for a long time and planned to return to the Altaic front as soon as possible.

"Regarding the supply route, we hope to pass through Kumani territory from Yunlai Port. Afterwards, we will cede the entire area west of Terras Town to the Kumani family."

After thinking it over, Niu Zida decided not to hand over Desharin Town to Julianus for the time being. He had previously promised the Maho and Yougong families that he did not want to hand over Desharin Town to others.

"Of course, that's no problem. As an ally, it's only right that we support your military operations."

Julianus readily agreed, seemingly unperturbed by yesterday's failed marriage proposal, which surprised Niu Zida. Was he perhaps overthinking things?

"However... now you know, Your Excellency, that the Kingdom of Fortini is also preparing for war. If we continue to support you as we are now, we will be hated by the nations of the Western Sea Continent."

As expected, Julianus wouldn't let Niu Zida off the hook on this issue easily. Now was the time for the other party to ask for the highest price. After thinking for a moment, Niu Zida decided to reveal his trump card:

“Then I can hand over control of Desharin Town to Lord Julianus.”

As a crucial transportation route in and out of Sacred Deer Valley, if the philosophy were mastered, the Kumani family could amass a fortune from taxes alone. Although he felt that doing so would be unfair to the Yugong family and Maho, he couldn't worry about that now. Niu Zida had to concentrate all his efforts on winning the siege of Altaïr first. To successfully siege it, his own supplies were key. He didn't have the abilities of a protagonist in a fantasy drama, capable of leading a few thousand men to defeat hundreds of thousands or easily conquering any city.

"You can entrust such a fertile place as Desalin Town to me? That's great, thank you so much."

Hearing Julianus's words always gave him a strange feeling, but since he needed the Kumani family's help, Niu Zida didn't think much of it. He just chuckled and pretended not to understand what the other party meant, trying to brush it off.

"Lord Niu Zida, let me be frank now. If the Kingdom of Fortini launches an attack, I am powerless to defend Desharin Town. Taking this territory for now would probably be of no use. In lieu of it, I would like to ask for a different condition."

"Oh? What conditions? If it's a territorial demand, you can tell me."

If it's just about land, Niu Zida doesn't care at all. As long as he can crush the Kingdom of Altair and even the Kingdom of Fortini, and reshape the overall political landscape of the Western Sea Continent, he can have as much land as he wants without any worries.

"I hope to acquire Altaïr."

"What???"

"I hope to acquire Altaïr."

Holy crap, Julianus really has the nerve to ask for the moon, even daring to demand the city of Altaïr directly? Then all this work of mine has been for nothing! Niu Zida felt a surge of anger. You old bastard, you were just waiting for me here. I won't marry that little Su Liya, so you're making things difficult for me with these conditions?

Niu Zida felt a surge of anger rising in his head and was about to explode when Ningguang stopped him with a look from inside Joel's arms, forcing him to swallow the curse that was about to slip out.

"I'll think about this again..."

"Very well, I await your reply, Your Excellency. You may stay at my manor as long as you wish; you are always the most honored guest here."

The meeting temporarily ended. Joel carried Niu Zida back. Once back, Niu Zida didn't mention the negotiations. Instead, he summoned Nilu, made her crawl on all fours, and grabbed her pigtails from behind, forcefully slamming his fists into her buttocks. The action was so rough that Nilu cried halfway through.

"Master... please don't be so rough..."

"No, I'm going to have you today, you slut..."

Niu Zida was frustrated and had nowhere to vent his anger. The more Nilu begged for mercy, the more violent he became. In the end, Nilu was crying and sobbing, and her eyes and genitals were swollen. It was only because Joel couldn't bear to watch that he kindly persuaded Niu Zida not to go so far. Only after Niu Zida had vented his desire on Nilu's body did he let Nilu leave.

"Master, are you calm now?"

Ningguang didn't have the authority to persuade Niu Zida. She knew that Julianus's condition was just to provoke Niu Zida. It was actually a good thing for Niu Zida to vent his anger now, so that he could calmly accept her subsequent suggestions.

"Hmph, that bastard Julianus, just as I told you, he wouldn't give in on this issue easily."

As it turns out, I was too naive. Ningguang was more experienced in this area, Niu Zida thought to himself.

"But even if Master is angry, he shouldn't take it out on Miss Nel's body."

"She was originally my mare, meant to be ridden."

Niu Zida said this in front of Nilu. Although Nilu felt wronged and wiped away her tears, she didn't dare to say a word. Ningguang smiled and gently patted the delicate and beautiful girl, signaling Nilu to leave. After Nilu left, Ningguang said:
