Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 2005: Chapter 670: The Library... An Encounter with the Minstrel...

[You’ve gifted the subject: Gweneth’s favorite present, Loyalty has increased, current Loyalty: 100]

Seeing the prompt, a trace of a smile appeared on Cao Xing’s face.

He clapped his hands and stood up, saying, ”You continue reading, I’ll head out first.”

”If there’s anything, or anything you need, just come to find me directly.”

With those words, Cao Xing was about to turn and leave.

At this moment, Gweneth’s gentle voice reached his ears.

”Please wait a moment, my lord...”

Cao Xing paused his steps and turned back, asking curiously, ”Is there something wrong?”

Gweneth gently nodded, ”Recently, I... crafted a piece of music myself,”

”Since you happened to gift me a new instrument, I’d like to play it for you.”

After a pause, she continued, ”Of course, if you don’t have time right now, it’s okay.”

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing showed some interest.

He happened to have no urgent matters now, so he nodded and said, ”Alright, let’s hear it.”

Seeing Cao Xing agree, a gentle smile appeared once again on Gweneth’s face.

She stood up and brought a chair from the side, placing it lightly opposite herself.

Then she said with musical tones, ”My lord, please sit opposite me.”

”This is...”

As she spoke, her voice paused slightly, and a faint blush surfaced on her face, ”This is a performance just for you...”

Cao Xing was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, ”Okay.”

Afterward, he sat opposite Gweneth.

Their knees were only about ten centimeters apart, and he could even smell the faint fragrance emanating from Gweneth.

Then, Gweneth gently caressed the strings of the organ, her fingertip trembling slightly.

Then she softly plucked the first note.

”Zheng~”

The melodic sound of the organ echoed, like a crisp breeze brushing through the heart.

Gweneth gently closed her eyes, her expression focused and tender.

After about ten seconds, she slowly began to sing: ”You float over rooftops glistening, glide over a lake spread with lily petals...”

”Cold wind wafts, speaking as if in whispers...”

The clear singing voice is like a mountain stream, flowing in the quiet library.

”Only because the years rotate, time flies without a sound, unnoticed...”

”You and I always accompany one another, entwining gently together with beauty...”

The organ music was melodious and gentle, the singing ethereal and beautiful.

In this moment, Cao Xing seemed to be transported into a dreamlike world.

For the first time, he sunk into it so deeply, as if the surrounding noise and time quietly stood still, leaving only Gweneth and the notes flowing from her fingertips.

Since they were very close at the moment, Cao Xing could even see some subtle expressions on Gweneth’s face.

No matter the angle, the woman before him was ever so beautiful.

And as Gweneth’s song reached its peak, Cao Xing listened completely absorbed.

After an unknown amount of time, the organ music gradually faded.

Gweneth softly released the final lyrics.

”As the years rotate, time flies...”

”My love, sing with me again...”

As the song ended, the air seemed to linger with the resonance, persisting long after.

At this moment, Cao Xing remained immersed in Gweneth’s beautiful visage and enchanting singing voice.

Until a system prompt jolted him awake.

[You listened to Gweneth’s performance, entered the [Poem of Freedom] status, Evasion Rate +30%, Move Speed +20%, lasting 10 minutes, enhanced by Talent [Eternal Power], this status has become permanently present...]

Cao Xing’s eyes gradually became clear, and the dreamlike world around him swiftly vanished.

He sighed, ”It’s really beautiful...”

”Gweneth, this melody is truly wonderful; you have amazing talent.”

Hearing Cao Xing’s sincere praise, the minstrel in front of him gave a gentle smile.

”Thank you for your compliment.”

”You’re also the most considerate lord I’ve ever seen...”

Her voice was filled with a special emotion.

Then she slightly bowed her head, her voice so light it was almost a whisper.

”If you like, you can come here anytime...”

”I... I can perform just for you.”

With these words, another blush rose on her face.

From Cao Xing’s viewpoint, Gweneth appeared exceptionally captivating at this moment.

Her expression was gentle and bashful, paired with that unique aura emanating during her performance, like a goddess governing celestial sounds.

Making hearts inadvertently fall in love.

At this moment, Cao Xing couldn’t help but feel a surge of indescribable emotion.

He reached out his hand and gently clasped Gweneth’s hand.

In this instant, the minstrel’s body gave a gentle shiver, a hint of panic in her bright pupils.

But she didn’t pull away, instead, she submissively bowed her head, the blush on her cheeks growing more pronounced.

”Gweneth,” Cao Xing’s voice sounded.

The minstrel listening to the call, gently raised her head.

The next moment, she saw a familiar face rapidly closing in.

Before she could react, she found her lips had already been sealed.

”Mmm...”

A soft sound escaped Gweneth’s mouth, her body instantly tensing, appearing very nervous.

This time, Cao Xing held her hand tightly.

Gweneth’s fingers curled slightly as if responding to Cao Xing’s touch, her inner tension dissipating a bit.

Then... she seemed to adapt, gently responding.

Cao Xing could feel the air she exhaled from the tip of her nose, and a faint sweet fragrance on her lips...

A few minutes later, their lips parted.

Gweneth quickly took a deep breath.

”Hoo...”

She lightly patted her chest, as if calming her overly fast heartbeat.
