In his Half-Beastman form, he could still cast spells, which greatly enhanced his strength.

After trying out all the powers he currently had control over, David nodded in satisfaction.

Now, with the internal strife in Silver Moon, this wave of strength enhancement was too critical, enough for him to participate in the struggle for the throne.

He wanted to see whether the Second Prince would indeed send troops to Frost Wolf Ridge.

By then, unless the Tier Six Knight Guardians of the Royal Family intervened, he would not be afraid of anything.

After sorting through his own strength and the current power of Frost Wolf Ridge, a confident smile appeared on David's face; indeed, there was nothing to worry about.

...

Frost Wolf Ridge City Hall.

Reina was busy approving official documents.

During this time, as David was preoccupied with cultivation, many tasks had fallen on Reina's shoulders.

Besides her identity as a craftsman, Hill had also taken up the role of Reina's assistant.

Though she didn't understand much about government affairs, the inherent abundant knowledge that came with being a witch made her quite capable of fulfilling the assistant role.

When David arrived at City Hall, the two were reviewing the frostwolf ridge's mineral collection situation.

Since Hill located the mines in Frost Wolf Ridge, many refugees had joined the mining industry.

Of course, the ores extracted using primitive tools by these refugees were minimal; the real work relied on Hill's Earth Power.

With Earth Power, Hill could swiftly mine and extract minerals, leaving the miners with only the task of transporting the ores, a process indeed highly efficient.

The iron ores gathered would be sent to blacksmiths to forge weapons.

When the Frost Wolf Clan hastily retreated from the Northern Fortress, apart from the Knight Order, they also brought along some craftsmen.

These craftsmen, holding onto their unique skills, were the most valuable assets within the territory, a fact David naturally understood, and now they were all being put to use.

Apart from the original blacksmiths of the Frost Wolf Clan, craftsmen from other subordinate territories, and even those from Ice Bear City, had been brought back to Frost Wolf Ridge.

Now, with the possibility of battle breaking out at any time, Frost Wolf Ridge would do whatever it took to enhance its power.

Seeing the busy Reina, David felt a sense of satisfaction deep inside.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

With Reina, also the Princess Jingge, handling governance, he indeed could spare more time for cultivation.

Moreover, Reina genuinely enjoyed managing affairs; this was a mutually beneficial pursuit for both of them.

"Lord Duke."

Reina looked up in surprise when she saw David enter.

Hill also reacted, nervously standing up.

Due to her vigorous movement, a certain part of her shook intensely.

David's eyes were dazzled by the bouncing spectacle, staring for a moment before coughing lightly to cover up.

They are indeed really big.

Even if David wanted to pretend he hadn't noticed, it was rather difficult to ignore.

Of course, he wasn't afraid of anything, looking openly as he pleased.

Unfortunately, the Little Witch Hill was too anxious, bowing her head and thus didn't notice the Lord's secret gaze.

However, Reina's gaze instantly sharpened, "Why isn't Lord Duke in the castle with Sister Liya? What brings you here?"

Detecting a hint of jealousy, David smiled calmly, "I just finished knight training on my end and came immediately."

"Really?"

"You'll find out when you check later."

The atmosphere in the room turned ambiguous in an instant, with the young fledgling Hill's face flushing crimson.

She vaguely felt something was about to occur, but with no idea how to deal with it, she could only freeze in place, afraid to move.

"Hill, you should go back and rest, I'll help out here." David said after another light cough.

"Okay, alright."

Hill replied quickly and swiftly left the room.

After closing the office door, she let out a small breath, feeling relieved yet with a slight hint of disappointment.

She shook her head and walked away quickly.

Inside the office.

David was showcasing his cultivation achievements to Reina.

Initially, Reina thought Lord Duke intended to display his physical strength.

But when David urged his Liquid Fighting Qi to envelop his arm, she suddenly widened her eyes.

"Lord Duke, you condensed Liquid Fighting Qi?"

Though she knew David's Fighting Qi had already partially liquefied, she hadn't expected him to break through so swiftly!

Just a few days ago, he hadn't broken through yet.

So today, when Lord Duke mentioned cultivation, it was indeed actual cultivation, and not what she had imagined?

She quickly realized and a look of joy surfaced on her face.

With Lord Duke successfully breaking through to Tier Five, the security of Frost Wolf Ridge is greatly assured!

"Of course."

"I told you, I have been diligently cultivating these past days."

David emphasized the word 'cultivation', then leaned to Reina's ear and whispered, "Madam, assist me in cultivating."

Hearing this, Reina pressed her lips together but didn't refuse.

She was originally a driven person herself, and being with Lord Duke was part of the cultivation process.

Receiving her response, David immediately lifted Reina and placed her on the table.

Now, with the Frost Giant Wolf Bloodline upgraded to Tier Six, the next target was naturally the Snow Demon Spirit.

Particularly since the Snow Demon Spirit could provide feedback in terms of Spiritual Power, potentially assisting him in elevating his Spiritual Power to Tier Four!

"Come, lift a bit."

[You completed one cultivation, Snow Demon Spirit +265]

[Snow Demon Spirit: Tier Five (39564/50000)]

Recently, Reina had been busy managing affairs, so the progress of the Snow Demon Spirit lagged significantly behind the Frost Giant Wolf.
