Zhuang Sen replied quietly and calmly, "Not like you, but like Lydia."
Dantalian understood; that meant the two Golden Women weren't born with the bloodline, but rather had a 100% compatibility with a certain bloodline in Zhuang Sen's possession.
After the couple finished their whispered conversation, Count Cameron, sweating profusely, said, "Well, we need to ask His Highness the Duke for permission, since it involves the two princesses."
Zhuang Sen nodded: "Of course, I was unaware of the identities of the two ladies before, and I was a bit presumptuous. But Lord Cameron, please explain that this is a level four bloodline and a level three bloodline."
Cameron continued to sweat profusely, his magnificent brocade robes looking as if he had just been pulled from the water, making one wonder just how terrified he was of Zhuang Sen. He certainly didn't look like a count at all. But putting aside the fact that Cameron's primary profession was bishop, the reason he was sweating so much wasn't because Zhuang Sen wanted to marry the sisters, nor because the sisters were truly "golden daughters," but because Zhuang Sen claimed that the sisters possessed a bloodline that had wiped out an important research project of the Bloodline Order.
These sisters are indeed Duke Starr's adopted daughters, but they are also "experimental subjects" of the Bloodline Cult. However, they are not the kind of subjects who are dissected and stitched up, but rather experimental subjects for another technology: bloodline transplantation. According to the Bloodline Cult's research, they believe that through postnatal training, ordinary people without any bloodline can develop "bloodline affinity" with a designated bloodline. Then, through blood transfusion, ordinary people can also obtain an awakened bloodline, or even change their bloodline!
These two sisters were the experimental subjects they had chosen. They were absolutely not allowed to have any bloodline, and they were still in the process of cultivating bloodline affinity. They were a pair of perfectly normal, pure girls. Then Zhuang Sen said that they carried bloodlines and even accurately stated their levels.
Previously, the researchers of the Bloodline Order would have scoffed at Zhuang Sen's claims. "You say you have it, so what? What technology do you have? You think you're worthy?"
But after Mira demonstrated her ability to diagnose pulse by smelling blood, and after Johnson brutally slaughtered Viscount Randolph, they were forced to take Johnson's words seriously. But wouldn't this mean that their research, which they had been actively pursuing for five years, was fundamentally flawed? If the prepared test subjects already possessed bloodlines, how could they possibly conduct bloodline transplant experiments?
No, even before that, they had to figure out what went wrong with the technology they used to detect the presence of bloodlines, and how it failed to detect the bloodlines of these two sisters. These weren't the low-level, first or second-level trash bloodlines, but rather a high-level third-level and a fourth-level bloodline. Such bloodlines shouldn't have been missed!
The entire Bloodline Order felt like a treasurer who had discovered a penny was missing during an accounting check—the sky had fallen.
Count Cameron spoke with difficulty: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Excellency. I will send a message to the Duke later and will give you a reply as soon as possible."
Zhuang Sen nodded casually: "No rush. Anyway, there's nothing much going on in the kingdom right now, so you can all stay a little longer. Also, the two princesses can consider it further. After all, I remember there should be more than two Golden Maidens, right?"
Knowing that Duke Starr was sending someone, Zhuang Sen naturally wanted to investigate the duke. The "Golden Daughter" was not a secret in the Duchy of Starr. In fact, Duke Starr would regularly adopt girls as foster daughters, and at least from the rumors, these girls were treated like true nobles. Some even represented the Starr family in marriage alliances with nobles—being able to represent the Starr family meant that they had at least a certain status.
However, being associated with the Bloodline Order seems to change things... This is also one of the reasons why Zhuang Sen suddenly named the two sisters.
"We will, Your Excellency, thank you for your kindness."
The older of the twin sisters, who still hadn't revealed their names, gave a polite answer, though it was somewhat perfunctory. But she couldn't say anything else, and Zhuang Sen, naturally, didn't mind, nodding to end the topic.
Princess Celine was left standing dumbfounded in the corner—wait, Johnson, what are you doing?!
Chapter 144: The Bloodline Order Resolves to Send Their Daughter; Princess Celine's Nature is Arrogant (2899 words)
With Zhuang Sen ceasing his deliberate attempts to cause trouble, the atmosphere of the banquet finally returned to normal. The members of the Source Blood Order were finally relieved, but they no longer dared to treat the pink-haired boy on the throne as a real child. Even their long-held belief that "the Source Blood Order's technology is the best in the world" crumbled considerably, and the faction opposing Zhuang Sen had almost no say.
Finally, the banquet came to an end.
Ignoring Princess Celine's resentful glare from the corner, Zhuang Sen nodded to the two golden girls. Of course, Zhuang Sen now knew their names as well. The older, spirited girl was named Lisander Starr, and the younger, adorable girl was named Piper Starr. They were sisters and had been adopted by Earl Starr for more than five years.
……
After the banquet ended, the members of the Bloodline Order, as the ostensible envoys, were naturally settled in. Since Zhuang Sen was not currently residing at Leon Manor, he simply left them there, making it convenient for him to monitor them. The Bloodline Order members had anticipated this, so there were no surprises. After putting their belongings away, they hurriedly gathered in Count Came's room.
They need to discuss whether or not to hand over Lysander and Piper to Johnson.
Viscount Kirk, the leader of the Zhuang Sen cooperation faction and also the technical priest, was the first to speak: "I think we can hand over Lysander and Piper to him. This way, we can at least obtain two bloodlines that haven't been recorded before, and we can also use them to probe Zhuang Sen's secrets. Maybe we can find out exactly how Zhuang Sen identifies bloodlines so accurately and simply. If things go smoothly, we might even be able to obtain Zhuang Sen's blood and essence through the two of them, and use that to analyze the bloodlines that Zhuang Sen possesses!"
When Viscount Kirk got excited, his sparse scalp even turned red and shiny, as if he wished he could take the stage himself, replacing the Starr sisters. His supporters, the members of the Bloodline Order who had initially supported cooperating with Johnson on technological exchanges, echoed his sentiments.
This person said, "Cooperating with Zhuang Sen can also expand our territory to Leon Territory. The Shadow Bloodline and Raven Bloodline here are of great research value!"
The person said, "Johnson has now taken over as the Kingdom's Minister of Intelligence. He can do everything that Cross can do. In fact, he just took office, which makes it convenient for us to infiltrate!"
Someone else suggested, "Actually, I think since Zhuang Sen likes those with bloodlines, why not transfer some female bloodline mothers from the cult to him? That way, we can get rid of these time-consuming, laborious, and low-yield useless stockpiles, and also steal Zhuang Sen's bloodline achievements!"
Amid their chatter, it seemed as if the matter was about to be settled. The opposition members of the Johnson faction, who should have refuted them, were somewhat resentful because they had lost their leader, Viscount Randolph, and had made a huge mess of things. However, they dared not speak out loudly.
At this moment, Count Cameron, who had previously been more inclined to support Zhuang Sen, suddenly tapped the table: "Wait a minute, don't be in such a hurry. We can't decide on those two. We need to inform Duke Starr and the Archbishop first."
"Also, do you think Zhuang Sen is an idiot or a moron? Do you really think those two innocent little girls could spy on Zhuang Sen in his hands, instead of leaking our information instead?"
"Furthermore, you all saw Zhuang Sen's performance today. Do you really believe that this kind of extremely domineering nobleman will obediently cooperate with us on an equal footing, or even accept our infiltration?"
Count Cameron's question cooled the enthusiasm of the Zhuang Sen collaborators considerably, though they remained defiant: "So what do you plan to do? Continue to oppose Zhuang Sen, and then turn into Randolph's meat paste like Randolph?"
Provoked by Count Came's vehement protests, Zhuang Sen's opponents finally spoke up: "Why not just send a high-level expert to capture and interrogate him! It's not like there aren't level five bloodline individuals within the Order! Just send a high-ranking official to capture him; we can use whatever techniques we want, can't we?"
"Then who are you planning to find? Lord Bone Dragon or Lord Blood Curse King? Who do you think you are to command them? Which lord would be willing to put aside his affairs just to capture a count?"
"This isn't just any ordinary earl! He's an earl who could very well possess the ability to rapidly increase bloodline concentration and accurately identify bloodlines! He might even possess a rare bloodline like the Chimera! Besides, why do you keep mentioning the lords of other branches? Do you have some kind of grudge against Lord Brad?"
"I'm furious with your brain! Can Lord Brad even move? Huh? Look me in the eye! Tell me, if Lord Brad leaves the lair, who will prevent Duke Starr from attacking it? Huh?! Tell me, you idiot!"
The heated discussion initially remained verbal, but it quickly escalated into slamming tables and glaring, followed by throwing cups and shoes, and finally turned into an unrestricted fighting tournament. Count Cameron, who had anticipated this, had moved aside beforehand, tied the letter in his hand to an extremely robust black eagle, and released it into the air.
……
On the other side, in Princess Celine's room.
Princess Celine, seething with anger, returned to her room. The moment her polite smile vanished, she couldn't help but raise her slender fist to the sky: "Damn it! What is that guy Zhuang Sen thinking? Why would he go and flirt with Uncle Borodi's adopted daughter? Does he really like those two little girls that much?!"
Princess Celine is eighteen years old this year.
Judy served her master hot tea and advised, "Master, didn't the Earl say it was only because of bloodline? Besides, the Duke may not necessarily agree to his request."
Princess Celine took the tea and gulped it down, then stuck out her tongue, burning herself. Even so, she didn't forget to retort to Judy: "Hmph, you believe that! Forgot he said he'd help me awaken my red dragon bloodline when we first met? Do you believe that? I think he's just a lecherous man, he's got his eye on those two sisters. Honestly, I thought he was a respectable nobleman! And my uncle, how could he refuse to use two adopted daughters to win over a royal earl? If he didn't want to win over Johnson, why would he send an envoy?"
"Ugh! I'm so angry! Zhuang Sen, that big idiot! He's a pervert who can't move when he sees a pretty girl!"
The young princess slammed her teacup on the table in a huff, her lips pouting so much they could hang a soy sauce bottle on them. After hesitating for a long time, Judy finally spoke up: "Master, are you so angry because the Earl hasn't pursued you?"
"Huh?!" Princess Celine crossed her arms over her chest, glaring fiercely at her guardian knight. "Who cares about that! What does it matter to me who he pursues! I'm just disappointed that he's a lecher! Besides, I'm a princess, how could I possibly marry a mere count!"
Judy didn't speak, she just looked at her beloved master.
Princess Celine couldn't take it anymore, so she simply snorted softly, turned her head to the side, and muttered softly, "But if he's willing to support my sister's ascension to the throne, then it's not like I can't marry him..."
Her voice trailed off, and a faint blush rose on her fair face, clearly showing that the princess's face wasn't as tough as her words.
Judy shook her head slightly and sincerely advised, "Master, this won't do. That Earl has so many women around him, you won't even be able to join them. Besides, what you said earlier is very true, it's very difficult for an earl to marry a princess, let alone that princess is very unwilling. Finally, Master, what do you think if your husband has an attitude of 'I wouldn't marry you if it weren't for my sister'?"
Her flushed face turned pale, and Princess Celine's small mouth twisted into a wavy shape: "Then, then do you want me to go pour it..."
Judy shook her head again: "Master, I understand your desire to help Princess Serafina, but personally, I do not wish to sacrifice your own happiness. After all, I serve you, and if I may be so bold, I do not believe that Princess Serafina would want to sacrifice her sister's happiness to obtain the throne. If she is such a person, Master, are you really willing to continue to help her?"
Celine was rendered speechless. Just as she was about to unleash her arrogant instincts and resort to sophistry, Judy, who knew her master intimately, spoke first: "Furthermore, Master, I hope you will consider whether you truly intend to marry that Earl solely to help Princess Serafina. Is that really what you mean?"
"We've only known each other for a few days! Could there be any other reason?!"
Princess Celine shouted, then fled towards the bedroom, "You servant, hurry and prepare the bathtub! I want to take a bath!!"
"At your service, master."
Judy shook her head, then called the maid over and told her to get to work.
……
At this point, the Bloodline Order finally reached a consensus.
"Then let's decide to send those two sisters to contact Zhuang Sen. Since they already have bloodlines, they can't be used as experimental subjects as originally planned. Instead, we can use them to win over Zhuang Sen. They have the title of Golden Daughters, so we can control him politically. If we're lucky, we might be able to manipulate Zhuang Sen through the Duke's channels. Even if we can get more intelligence, that's fine. If not, we won't lose anything."
Although the Johnson-cooperation faction successfully defeated the Johnson-opposition, they also suffered heavy losses and could only offer compromise suggestions. While some still disagreed, this time the majority prevailed over the minority, and the resolution was passed.

Chapter 145: Daily Life and Tidying Up
The lively banquet ended, and the nobles returned home. They had been quite busy lately, with new lands to take over, new subjects to register, new problems to solve, and a new leader to appease. Especially the last one: considering that Zhuang Sen was only interested in women of his bloodline, their plans to send their daughters to him had all fallen through. The only way to please Zhuang Sen was to diligently govern their territories according to his orders.
For a time, the atmosphere in Leon Territory improved considerably, mainly because Zhuang Sen had purged the violent, greedy, and foolish lords. The remaining lords, while not necessarily great saints, were at least less exploitative.
Zhuang Sen also began his "slacking off" time again.
……
Glorious Manor.
Zhuang Sen opened the system panel and looked at the existing bloodlines in the inventory. The level three ones were: [Forest Centaur], [Watermelon Girl], [Rankless Angel], and [Rock Dog].
Level 4 includes: [Tall and Dwarf], [Shadow Lizard], [Poisonous Lamia], [Dog Girl Queen], [Goblin King]
Among them, [Dog Girl Queen], [Watermelon Girl], and [Earth Elemental Spirit] are random Earth-type bloodlines rewarded by the Rune Dwarf's first awakening, random Plant-type bloodlines rewarded by the Sunflower Anawan's second awakening, and random Demi-human bloodlines rewarded by the Vampire Scroll Clan's second awakening. It's also worth mentioning that the sisters Lysander and Piper are compatible with the [Forest Centaur] and [Dog Girl Queen] bloodlines respectively, meaning they are a centaur girl and a dog girl.
Besides these bloodlines, Zhuang Sen also had some other rewards in his possession, all of which came from these bloodlines... That's right, Zhuang Sen had tried out all of these bloodlines himself first. Anyway, as long as he activated them once, he could get the initial development reward, so why not take them?
Therefore, the system reward items that Zhuang Sen currently has include:
The [Tall and Short Man]'s [Dwarf Wine Jar]: Provides half a jin of dwarf liquor daily.
【Secretary Angel】's 【Automatic Secretary】: A quill pen that can automatically write based on thoughts.
The Shadow Lizard's Color-Changing Scales: Palm-sized, multicolored scales that, when used once daily, can change the owner's skin color, eye color, and hair color.
【Inu-chan's】【Woof Badge】: A round badge with a Shiba Inu printed on it. Wearing it allows you to understand canine language and increases canine affection.
The Goblin King's Hunting Dagger: A rusty dagger that inflicts poison damage with attacks.
The Forest Centaur's Forest Longbow: A green wooden longbow with vines wrapped around its arms and green leaves and flower buds at both ends. It can cast an Entangling spell on the hit location three times a day.
[Watermelon Girl's] [Watermelon Seeds]: A small cloth bag containing about one hundred watermelon seeds, guaranteed sweet!
[Lamia the Poisoner]'s [Complete Book of Poisons]: A very thick book that records many poisons that Zhuang Sen knows and does not know, both man-made and natural, including how to collect, manufacture and use them.
[Rockhound Girl]'s [Rockhound Statue]: A rock statue about 15cm tall, depicting a cute dog girl with gray fur. Once a day, it can summon a rock hound for one hour.
They're all things that aren't particularly useful, and it's a real shame they don't have any nest anchors. It's better to be a positionless angel; the initial reward is a nest anchor.
In addition to these bloodline reward items, there are also things that the monster girls obtained from the inheritance. The most prominent of these is naturally the [Dwarf Couple Rings] that Nia and Zhuang Sen share. Not only does it have defensive capabilities, it also allows Nia and Zhuang Sen to have telepathic conversations. Incidentally, Nia is trying to replicate this ring, which is also a type of rune item.
In addition, there are the three types of seeds Hana obtained: [Fragrant Flower Seeds], [Carnivorous Flower Seeds], and [Glowing Flower Seeds]. She has already started cultivating them. The reason she hasn't planted the watermelon seeds yet is because it's already autumn, and even if the watermelon was given by a monster girl, it wouldn't be able to grow in winter... Unless she uses her special abilities to take care of it, but there's no need for that. If she really wants to eat watermelon, she can just turn into a watermelon girl and eat herself.
Unfortunately, there are no nest anchor points like the [Egg of Lamia] anymore.
"How boring!"
Zhuang Sen rolled over in his chair, looking like a dried-out salted fish, and then his door was pushed open with a bang. An Jie walked in quickly: "Brother, sign these. They're some of the newly introduced goods, and there's also the application for a trading license from the foreign chamber of commerce. This pile is about mandatory regulations on grain prices. It's time to harvest those grain merchants who are hoarding and speculating. The Falau Chamber of Commerce has already taken action, and their people are on their way. And this stack is an application from the merchants' guild. I've read it; it's an impeachment against me. Sign it first, and I'll see who's playing tricks on me behind my back."
Several stacks of documents were slammed down in front of Zhuang Sen, making him instantly miss the boredom he had just experienced. However, he didn't slack off; instead, he obediently signed them and stamped them with his personal seal: "Anjie, you can just sign these yourself without me saying anything. You know where my seal is."
Anjie gave a soft snort, pulled down Zhuang Sen's pants, lifted her knee-length skirt, pressed herself against Zhuang Sen, and swallowed his already erect penis: "I can take the official seal, but can I take this private seal too?"
Speechless, Zhuang Sen could only sign the papers.
Before Zhuang Sen could even finish dealing with the documents his little sister had brought, the half-open door was pushed open again, and Dantalian walked in, also holding a stack of documents: "Darling, I've drafted a proposal for the agricultural tax law reform you mentioned. Take a look and see if there are any places that need to be modified..."
Halfway through her sentence, Dantalian saw Ange swaying on top of Zhuang Sen, so she put the documents in her hand on the table, pressed down on Zhuang Sen from behind, and ruthlessly ravaged Zhuang Sen's face with her heavy, super-sized breasts.
While suckling at the soft, tender breasts, Zhuang Sen caressed the two delicate bodies in front of and behind him: "Didn't you say you were going to show me the draft?"
“Yes, we should draft the proposal first, then finalize it,” Anjie said with a grin.
Dantalian hummed softly, pressing down even harder, her massive member, resembling the peak of the Himalayas, silencing Zhuang Sen's mouth: "It's okay, I'll read it to you, it won't take any longer~ Hmm~ Harder~"
The cheerful sounds quickly attracted the newcomers. Lady Lia and Lydia entered the room, put down the documents they were trying to cover up, and flanked the "weak" Zhuang Sen from both sides. The full breasts of the beautiful woman and the firm breasts of the mature woman tightly swallowed Zhuang Sen's young arms, and the erect nipples rubbed against Zhuang Sen's arms, stimulating the big Zhuang Sen to become more and more excited, and finally he climaxed in Ange's narrow little nest.
Before Anjie could even process what was happening, a large hand lifted her aside. The greedy snake woman firmly held the disheveled Da Zhuangsen in her mouth, her nimble tongue waving as she quickly reactivated him.
"Mother, you go first." Dantalian said to Lady Liya, spitting out the words "Big Zhuangsen." Lady Liya was just an ordinary person and didn't have the stamina to wait as long as they did.
This wasn't the first time for Lady Leah. Without any hesitation, she pressed her beloved Zhuang Sen under her plump buttocks and began to knead her beautiful breasts with satisfaction. Ange, who had been left behind, wasn't angry. While lying on the bed and reminiscing, she said, "Mother, the Farau family has already sent people out. Shouldn't we stop now?"
"Mmm~ Mmm~ Okay~" Lady Leah rubbed her red cherry and answered softly, "The evidence is all~ Ah~ ready~ Just waiting for them to make their move~ Oh—"
The voluptuous beauty leaned forward, pinning the slender boy down. She couldn't resist kissing his alluring, pink face, leaving a large red mark. Then, she squeezed her legs together, dismounting from Zhuang Sen and replacing him with the eager snake woman. Her enormous, three-meter-tall frame ravaged the boy beneath her with her perfect, plump buttocks, but soon, like the two before her, she crumbled under the boy's disproportionately large member.
The daily routine is not over yet.

Author's note: Just summarizing what I have on hand, otherwise I'll forget everything...
Chapter 146: The Differences Between Sisters
August 15th, daytime.
There is no Mid-Autumn Festival in this other world, so it's just an ordinary day. Zhuang Sen gets up and washes up in an ordinary way, leaving his awful smell in the bathroom, and then prepares to go out in a less ordinary way.
It's about time. It's time to check on the situation with the Bloodline Order. We've given them so much time to consider... no, it's about time we gave them a conclusion. While the conclusion is pretty much certain, unless Duke Starr is the rare kind of "good person" who prioritizes self-interest over emotion, and even the kind of "extremely good person" who invests genuine affection in his numerous adopted daughters, he clearly isn't. Otherwise, who would send two young girls with no blood relation as envoys? Especially not with a treacherous organization like the Bloodline Order? What good person would trust their daughters to act like that?
Therefore, Duke Starr is almost certain to agree, after all, that's a fourth-level bloodline and a third-level bloodline, which means at least two powerful earls! Why didn't anyone object when Zhuang Sen generously bestowed titles upon Dantalian and the others? The main reason is that they all possess high-level bloodlines! A third-level bloodline is enough to be an earl, let alone a viscount. What bloodline do you have and what bloodline do I have? You dare to object to me?
Bloodline is power, and power is the reason to be king!
For Zhuang Sen, this wasn't a completely unprofitable deal. Duke Starr's adopted daughter, who was operating alongside the Bloodline Cult, undoubtedly possessed a wealth of intelligence. Furthermore, the nature of monster girls would likely gravitate towards Zhuang Sen; with a little training and development, they might even become spies. The Bloodline Cult thinks they're stealing the bloodline I released? Actually, it's me, Zhuang Sen, stealing your experimental results!
However, this is just a general plan; the specific implementation method will depend on the specific circumstances.
