Niu Zida certainly didn't pity the pregnant Asuna, treating her purely as a tool for sexual gratification. On the contrary, the more Asuna begged for mercy, the harder he worked, quickly bringing tears to Asuna's eyes and causing her breasts to sway.
"Master...I...oh...I can't take it anymore...it's hitting the baby..."
"You slut..."
As Niu Zida heard Asuna begin to plead pitifully again, his desire to conquer surged within him. He thrust his massive member in with tremendous force, finally ejaculating all his semen into Asuna's honeypot. Asuna let out a humiliating moan, reaching her final climax together with him.
For the next few days, Niu Zida was overseeing the remaining work in the new city, while also figuring out when Kirito should return. After all, Kirito said that Ningguang should have no reason to object to the conditions he brought back this time, so if the people sent were not just there to transport large supplies but to conduct an inspection, they should arrive soon.
Unexpectedly, Kirito did not return on the agreed day. For the first two days, everyone thought it was just a delay on the road. After all, the journey to Yunlai Port was so far, and a few days' delay due to some minor accident on the way was not a big deal.
A week had passed, and Asuna started to worry. Niu Zida, on the other hand, remained calm. Another week passed, and it was already late February, but Kirito still hadn't appeared. This time, Niu Zida also felt something was wrong. It had been almost a month since Kirito left. He had said he would be back in half a month, but now it had taken twice as long. It didn't seem normal at all.
"Master, is something wrong with Kirito?"
Finally, a few more days passed. It had been more than a month since she had returned. Asuna was starting to get restless and went to Niu Zida to ramble on about her worries for Kirito. Seeing how anxious Asuna was for Kirito, Niu Zida felt a strange jealousy. Did this little girl really like her boyfriend that much?
However, of course, Niu Zida couldn't say it out loud, so he could only comfort Asuna by pinching her daiyukiko:
"It's alright. Kirito's fighting strength is unmatched by ordinary people. He'll be fine."
"But it's been more than a month. Logically, he should have come back by now."
"I already told you he'll be fine."
"But……"
"But what? You shameless thing, it's probably because Kirito has fallen for another woman and that's why he's not coming back. I heard Ningguang is very beautiful, so Ningguang and Kirito are together, and that's why Kirito abandoned you. Asuna, you'd better be my lucky charm from now on."
Annoyed by Asuna's questions to no end, Ushio deliberately tried to scare her. This only made Asuna more worried, and she even started crying.
"I...no, Kirito wouldn't abandon me...I don't believe it..."
Unexpectedly, Asuna took his angry remark seriously. Seeing the bright and beautiful girl sobbing pitifully, Niu Zida felt his heart begin to flutter again. Damn it, Asuna is beautiful and has a great vibe. Every time he sees her, his wicked desires start to stir. At this moment, Shokuhou Misaki is holding Niu Zida and deliberately blows into his ear, saying:
"Master, Miss Asuna is feeling lonely right now, so we can't not comfort her properly."
Thinking this way, Niu Zida certainly wouldn't be polite. Since you've come to my door on your own initiative, you can't blame me, right? So he had Misaki Shokuhou carry Asuna, who was still sobbing and worried about her boyfriend, to her side. He pounced on her, pinned her down on the bed, and began to crawl on her again.
"Master... now is not... the time to do this kind of thing..."
"Don't worry, your Kirito will be fine. I'll send someone to Hetherlink Port in a few days to inquire about Kirito's whereabouts and see if anything has delayed him. Kirito is a reliable person, and besides, he wouldn't abandon you, would he? If you don't even have that much confidence, then don't wait for him anymore."
Hearing what Niu Zida said, Asuna seemed to relax a little. Since she believed in Kirito, she should continue to believe in him. There was no point in worrying blindly.
"Alright, open your legs, I'm going to make you cry today."
Asuna's fair face flushed crimson. Hearing Niu Zida offer to help her find Kirito's whereabouts, her emotions calmed slightly. Pressed down by Niu Zida, she had no choice but to open her white silk stockings and say:
"Master, you must help me find out Kirito's whereabouts. You absolutely cannot be sure that something has happened to Kirito."
"Alright, alright, don't worry."
Niu Zida gave a perfunctory reply and, with the help of Misaki Shokuhou pushing his buttocks, began to diligently work his way up onto Asuna's delicate body. The room was once again filled with Asuna's humiliated yet slightly pleasurable moans...
After his battle with Asuna the next morning, Niu Zida really thought about it carefully and felt that Kirito's late return this time might not be a small problem. Asuna's worries were reasonable. After all, if he really brought back a lot of funds from Ningguang, he might be targeted on the way and something unexpected could happen. In particular, the relationship between the Duchy of Hetherink and the Dore Territory was currently very delicate because of the Echeberia Territory.
After thinking it over, Niu Zida decided to go and take a look himself. Anyway, the recent reservoir and other projects in the new city were basically completed, and there was still some finishing work to be done on the passageway, so he didn't need to supervise it himself. He had nothing else to do anyway.

Chapter 237
Tsuyuki Tatsu decided to bring along Yoru, Misato Shizuku, and Kuroyukihime, and of course, Arita Haruyuki as a follower. Moreover, it would be great if they could meet Rokusuke from Umijima when they arrived at Hetherlink Port. He has a strong network of connections and intelligence in these ports, so asking him for advice would be a sure thing.
Upon learning that Niu Zida was going to Hetherlink Port without her, Asuna ran over and begged him to take her with him. Niu Zida originally didn't want to take Asuna, but how could he not miss Kirito since she was so concerned about him? Letting them meet would just be making things difficult for himself.
However, when Asuna promised to take good care of Niu Zida after her return, and even offered to serve him in the riding position throughout the entire encounter in bed, Niu Zida softened and made another request:
"After you come back, you have to apologize to me in front of Kirito. If you agree, I'll take you there."
"But Kirito will find out if we do that."
"It's okay, just put on the hood. I definitely won't take you there if you don't agree to this condition."
"I...I agree..."
Overwhelmed with worry for her lover's safety, Asuna disregarded everything else and accepted all of Kyuko's requests. All she wanted now was to make sure Kirito was safe and sound...
Chapter 192 Intelligence on Port Heatherlink 1
Chapter 192.
After preparing some luggage and taking some gold coins, Niu Zida, accompanied by several maids, set off for the port of Heatherlink. If he took the shortcut, he would have to pass through the territory of Echeberia before entering the Duchy of Heatherlink, but that way, his progress would definitely be known to Seritina's husband, Laudert. Last time he returned and passed through Echeberia, Niu Zida was extremely careful and did not inform Laudert before quickly crossing the territory of Echeberia.
This trip to Heatherlink was to gather intelligence. He couldn't afford to have his movements known in advance. After much thought, Niu Zida decided to take the maid along the back roads. The Duchy of Heatherlink was surrounded by mountains, with many winding paths instead of main roads. These paths were frequented by bandits and unsuitable for large carriages, so caravans rarely used them, and even ordinary travelers avoided them. They offered excellent secrecy. Niu Zida wasn't afraid of bandits, and since he wasn't transporting goods, it was perfect for him, as he needed to remain discreet.
Because they needed to traverse narrow paths, a carriage was not suitable. Niu Zida and his party took the carriage to the edge of the Echeberia territory, then sent the carriage back. The maid then carried Niu Zida over the mountains and along the narrow paths to the port of Heatherlink. Of course, Niu Zida and his party also dealt with a few groups of petty thieves along the way, which can be considered as doing a good deed for the local people.
It took about a day to cross the mountains. Afterwards, Niu Zida and his group found a village to rest. After several expeditions, Niu Zida and his group had a lot of experience in lodging outside. Finding a seemingly honest countryman in the countryside and paying him some money to spend the night was much safer than some inns in small towns.
A day later, Niu Zida and his group secretly arrived at Heatherlink Port, a bustling port city. Instead of looking for an inn, they rented a house through an agency to serve as their secret hideout. This was much more convenient than coming and going from a crowded inn, since Niu Zida's maids were all top-notch women, and frequenting crowded places would be too conspicuous.
After arranging accommodations, Niu Zida had Joel carry him and Asuna to the port area to gather information. The rest of them went their separate ways. Haruyuki, Kuroyukihime, and Misato Shizuku went to the merchant guild, the nearby shopping street, and the police station to find out where Kirito was. Of course, Niu Zida secretly gave Misato Shizuku a task: if possible, find evidence of Kirito soliciting prostitutes. If they had such evidence of Kirito's infidelity for Asuna, they could completely change her mind about him.
Shizuku Misato certainly wouldn't actively help Ushio Tatsumi fabricate evidence, but given her earnest nature, she probably wouldn't protect Kirito if she discovered he had actually done something similar.
Joel held Niu Zida in her arms, her head adorned with a golden flower headdress. She wore a long, slender top and black stockings, beneath which were tall boots, and finally a trench coat. The tall, beautiful woman looked every bit the dashing assassin. However, no one knew that beneath her trench coat was almost nothing, and that leather corsets hung from either side of her slender waist, with stirrups attached. Although she was carrying Niu Zida, as a maid, she needed stirrups to make it easier for her master to ride her.
Asuna, dressed in a sailor uniform, white stockings, and high heels—a typical high school girl outfit—followed behind Joel, looking like an older sister taking her younger sister shopping.
"Master, how do we contact Rokusuke when we get to the port?"
"Rokusuke often frequents the commodity exchange in the port. Where should we go?"
Following Niu Zida's orders, Yoel carried Niu Zida to the vicinity of the port's exchange. After inquiring around, Yoel discovered that Rokusuke was indeed active there, recently procuring supplies for Haigi Island. Upon seeing that it was Yoel who came to find him, Rokusuke recognized Niu Zida and led them to his office.
"Lord Niu Zida, what brings you here? Do you have business with Lord Xinhai?"
"Is Xin Hai doing well on Haiqi Island?"
"Very good, very good. Lord Xinhai has led the goblin army to subdue many demi-human islands around Haiqi Island."
Chapter 238
"Lord Xinhai misses Mr. Niu Zida very much and hopes you can return soon. Hmm... this young lady looks unfamiliar. Is she also Mr. Niu Zida's maid?"
"Oh, yes."
"Mr. Niu Zida is really amazing."
Rokusuke smiled with admiration and envy. He never expected that in just a few months, this short goblin would take in such a beautiful girl as his maid.
After a brief chat with Liu Zhu, Niu Zida got straight to the point and asked:
"Do you know anyone named Kirito in Hetherlink Port lately?"
"Huh? Why did Mr. Niu Zida ask him that?"
"You know this person?"
From Rokusuke's tone, it seemed that he knew about Kirito. Asuna looked at Rokusuke with concern, hoping that he could reveal more information about Kirito.
"Yes, of course I know. Not long ago, the customs of Hetherlink detained a merchant named Kiritani Kazuto from Yunlai Port, which also caused dissatisfaction from the Qunyuge Pavilion, because the technical personnel and a lot of funds he brought with him were also seized."
Why is he being detained?
"It's supposedly a crime of espionage."
"How could Kirito be a spy!"
Hearing this, Asuna couldn't help but interject to defend Kirito, which startled Rokusuke. Why was this beautiful girl reacting so strongly to this?
Niu Zida gave Asuna a wink, signaling her not to speak carelessly. Asuna calmed herself down a bit, and then he gestured for Rokusuke to continue.
"What I heard is that the Port of Hassellink believes that the amount of money does not match the amount reported for entry, because Kirito did not report this amount when he applied for entry, so he is suspected of tax evasion."
Upon hearing this, Niu Zida understood. This was because he had told Kirito to be wary of interference from Heatherlink, which was why he had secretly smuggled funds into the country. However, the Heatherlink customs had discovered it. Kirito was really unreliable in doing such a thing. Didn't he have any other way to secretly hide funds? Besides, Ningguang was with him; didn't she teach him? It was really strange.
"Mr. Kiritani Kazuto is currently being held by customs police, awaiting prosecution and court appearance by the prosecutor."
Rokusuke's intelligence network is still as sharp as ever; he's very reliable as the overseas intelligence gathering post for Haiji Island. Niu Zida inquired:
"Do you know if you have any connections that can get Kirito out of trouble? He's our friend."
"This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. If it were an ordinary case, I might be able to get out of prosecution and just receive administrative penalties through my connections, and I could just spend some money. But this case is said to be under the supervision of the higher-ups in Heatherlink. And as I just said, even when Lord Ningguang, the big boss of Qunyuge Company, came to personally inquire about it, the Grand Duchy of Heatherlink ignored her. I'm afraid the waters are too deep inside, and my connections won't be of any use."
Rokusuke is right. It seems that this matter is going to be very troublesome. Ushiko Tatsuya also fell into deep thought. Just then, Asuna on the side couldn't hold back anymore. After all, hearing that her lover was locked up in a prison, she was the one most affected by it.
"Thank you, Mr. Rokusuke."
"Not at all. Lord Xinhai said he would try his best to meet Mr. Niu Zida's request. If you don't mind, I'll entertain Mr. Niu Zida tonight."
"I appreciate your kindness, but I have other things to do recently. Let's find an opportunity later."
"Alright, Mr. Niu Zida, please let me know if there's anything you need, and I'll do my best."
Rokusuke was aware of the relationship between Niu Zida and Xin Hai, so he treated them with utmost respect. To be honest, Niu Zida greatly admired Xin Hai's confidant; he was capable, eloquent, and loyal. It seemed that Xin Hai was truly talented, managing to cultivate such a reliable subordinate on Haizhi Island at such a young age.
"Master, let's go save Kirito."
As Asuna emerged from Rokusuke's office, she couldn't help but start pleading with Ushiko-da. Ushiko-da sneered inwardly; as expected, she still had her eye on Kirito. However, on the surface, Ushiko-da naturally had to put on a cooperative attitude.
"Of course, but this matter is not that simple. Let's go back and make a comprehensive judgment based on the intelligence gathered from other sources."
Chapter 193 Intelligence on Port Heatherlink 2
Chapter 193.
Niu Zidara led Asuna back to his temporarily rented apartment, a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment of about 70 or 80 square meters. Kuroyukihime, Haruyuki, and Misato Shizuku also returned. Haruyuki came back empty-handed, while Misato Shizuku brought information from the shopping district that Princess Charlotte of the Grand Duchy of Hetherink seemed to be preparing for her wedding and was shopping more frequently in the shopping district. Kuroyukihime also brought news from the police station, confirming that Kirito was being held in custody.
"It seems that Kirito's detention by the Duchy of Hetherlink is confirmed. Is the specific reason indeed that he was carrying a large amount of unexplained funds?"
"Indeed, I inquired and that's at least what the police department officially said."
"Master, how can we save Kirito?"
"Don't worry, Ningguang will handle this. Let's wait and see. It's impossible that the Hetherlink side doesn't know that Kirito and Ningguang are related, yet they still chose to detain him. This means that Ningguang's negotiations with them are not going smoothly and may involve many other conflicts of interest. We need to continue to gather intelligence."
"But, won't Kirito suffer inside...?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen. Since it's a conflict of interest, and it's not targeting Kirito himself, what good would it do to deal with him?"
.
Chapter 239
"But...I'm worried..."
After offering a few words of comfort to Asuna, and finding her still worried, and getting a little annoyed by her nagging, Niu Zida simply grabbed Asuna's large breasts and scolded her:
"You slut, I told you not to worry, I'll find a way to get your Kirito-kun out. What you need to do now is spread your white-stockinged thighs open when your master needs to vent his desires, understand?"
"Um...Master...I...understand..."
Asuna was startled by Niu Zida's sudden fierce attitude. Now she needed him to save Kirito, so she didn't dare resist and only mumbled a reply. Seeing the beautiful girl's distressed expression, Niu Zida softened his tone and said:
"Although Kirito is detained, he still has Ningguang's support. Let's wait and see how things develop before making a move. Otherwise, a blind attack might harm Kirito."
Hearing Niu Zida say that, Asuna calmed down a little. Ever since she arrived at Hetherlink Port and heard that Kirito had been imprisoned, Asuna had been in a state of tension and anxiety.
"There's really no need to worry about Kirito. On the contrary, I find it strange. Shizuku Misato, you said there are rumors about Charlotte's wedding in the shopping district?"
"Yes, Charlotte is married to Earl Pollaz of the Grand Duchy of Heatherlink."
"Charlotte is currently the regent of the Grand Duchy, right? She's going to marry a count from within the country?"
Niu Zida sensed a power shift, but he didn't have any information yet. It was hard not to speculate in that direction. Compared to Kirito's life or death, this was what caught Niu Zida's attention more. Such aristocratic marriages often signified a reorganization of power, carrying strong political signals.
Recalling the time he happened to see Princess Charlotte's caravan on his way back to Dore from Haizhi Island, Niu Zida felt a pang of longing. Such a noble and beautiful princess was now marrying someone else; it was such a pity. How wonderful it would be if she could be his own beloved.
Holding Ushio Tada, Yoel could clearly feel Ushio Tada's penis suddenly swell, and she gently stroked it with her snow-white, soft hand. Ushio Tada, while talking, also began to play with Yoel's large breasts with his large hand, as his desire intensified, causing a slight blush to appear on the beautiful woman's fair face. Seeing Yoel's expression, Misato Shizuku roughly knew that Ushio Tada was up to no good, and said irritably:
"Master isn't asking about Princess Charlotte's marriage right now, is he? She's already taken, so let's not get any ideas about her body."
"Ahem, you misunderstood me, Misato Shizuku. What I meant was that if Princess Charlotte, as the regent of a country, marries a nobleman, it will have a significant impact on the political distribution within the Duchy of Hetherink. Once Earl Polaz becomes the princess's husband, he can directly control the Duchy's politics through her. The relationship between the Duchy of Hetherink and the Dore Territory is already quite delicate. It's unclear what changes this new earl will bring to the core of the Duchy's power. That's what I'm worried about."
Although Niu Zida's explanation made sense, Sanxiang Shizuku was unconvinced. She knew Niu Zida all too well. She had seen that elegant, long-haired, beautiful princess before, and she absolutely did not believe that Niu Zida would use the big head instead of the small head when he saw such a stunningly beautiful girl.
