Chapter 537 Am I So Scary?

Li Yi's eyes met Su Nuan's, and a cunning light flashed in her eyes, which was unpredictable. Li Yi felt an inexplicable chill down his spine.

Su Nuan's gaze lingered on him for a moment, and she clearly noticed that his originally straight back was slightly bent.

There was a hint of suspicion in her eyes, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Yi's heart tightened when she asked him this question. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his forehead. Only then did he realize that his forehead was already covered in cold sweat, and his fingertips felt something cold.

He suppressed his panic and stammered, "Nothing... nothing, I just... feel a little hot."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized how poor his excuse was. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he looked away, not daring to meet Su Nuan's gaze.

Su Nuan chuckled and didn't ask any more questions, but the cunning in her eyes became more and more obvious.

She said slowly, "Send out fifty men and have them go deep into the Rakshasa Kingdom to investigate the nobles' movements and power."

"The rest of you, follow me to wipe out the Giant Tribe and the Wild Dog Tribe. After all, they provoked us first. Is it okay for me to fight back?"

"Also, I'm the one who supports this tribe. Don't hurt them, understand?"

Li Yi didn't dare to say anything more, and quickly bowed and replied: "Yes, I understand, I will do it right away!"

After saying this, he turned and left almost as if fleeing, his steps hurried as if something terrible was chasing him.

Su Nuan looked at his back, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. Is she so scary?

Then she murmured to herself, "Once I've found out the power of those nobles, I'll sow discord among them and make them fight among themselves, hehe..."

By then, they will be so busy fighting that no one will pay attention to the changes on the border.

The tribe will have a good harvest in three months after planting the crops. By the time the nobles of the Rakshasa Kingdom get wind of it and want to get a piece of the pie, they have already brought the grain back to the north.

As long as this batch of food arrives, the situation in the north will be stabilized. By then, feeding not only hundreds but even thousands of people will be no problem.

Thinking of this, Su Nuan felt much more relaxed, as if the burden on her shoulders had suddenly been lightened.

She looked up at the sky. There were few stars in the dark night sky, and it was still a long time before dawn.

She turned to the chief and said, "I'll be gone for a while and will be back before dawn. If there's someone named Lingyun looking for me, tell him to wait for me."

The chief yawned lazily, waved his hand and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll take a nap first."

Su Nuan nodded and whistled. A moment later, Feixue's nimble figure swooped down from the night sky and landed steadily beside her.

Su Nuan gently stroked Feixue's feathers and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work. We still have a long way to go."

After leaving the tribe, Su Nuan took Feixue into the space. Although Feixue was strong, she was not made of iron after all and needed to replenish her strength.

Su Nuan took out a whole lamb that had been roasted long ago, and Feixue immediately lowered her head and started to eat it with relish.

After feeding Feixue, Su Nuan set off again. The night wind howled, and the flying snow flew at an extremely fast speed, like a flash of lightning streaking through the night sky.

Not long after, Su Nuan arrived at the large courtyard where Su Xia lived. Unexpectedly, the courtyard was brightly lit and people were moving around, as if something big had happened.

As soon as Su Nuan landed, several terrified screams were heard in the yard.

Su Xia and Su Hui heard the noise and immediately ran out of the house. When they saw Su Nuan, they immediately smiled with joy and shouted in unison, "Sister/Sister!"

Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they were in high spirits and had no signs of injury on their bodies.

She walked up quickly and held their hands, her tone carrying a hint of urgency, "I'm glad you're okay. What happened?"

Su Xia held Su Nuan's hand, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "There was an earthquake a while ago, and the sea water gushed out, and a lot of things washed up on the shore."

"The villagers picked up some bottles and jars. When my second sister rode Xiaoyu over to check, she saw a golden glow on the seabed. It might be treasure!"

Su Nuan frowned slightly when she heard this, and felt that things were not simple.

She waited for a long time but heard no news about the sirens. She couldn't help but ask, "Didn't they say there were sirens? Why haven't you mentioned anything about them?"

Su Xia shook her head, with a hint of doubt in her tone, "I suspect it might be an illusion."

"During the earthquake, some poisonous gas might have been released from the seabed, causing the villagers to have an illusion. Now no one dares to go out to sea, fearing they might be eaten by the so-called 'sea monster.'"

After hearing this, Su Nuan still felt uneasy. She felt that things were not that simple, but she had no more clues at the moment.

She patted Su Xia's shoulder and said, "Anyway, don't act rashly. Wait until I finish the things at hand and come back to investigate carefully."

"If Ling Cang's men come, don't go out to sea rashly. Wait until I come back and see."

Su Xia nodded, "Okay, we'll wait for you."

Su Nuan looked at the sky and knew that time was running out, so she didn't stay any longer.

She turned around and jumped onto Feixue's back, gently patting its neck: "Let's go, we have to go back."

Feixue let out a low hum, flapped its wings, and soon disappeared into the night sky.

When Su Nuan returned to the tribe, the sky was already a faint pale gray. She looked up at the sky and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that she was so busy that she didn't even have time to breathe.

At this moment, the space spirit slowly climbed up from above Su Nuan's head, rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Su Nuan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "I was busy all night and didn't have time to eat. You woke up and thought about eating. Isn't it too unfair?"

The space spirit scratched his head and asked in confusion, "What are you busy with?"

Su Nuan sighed and briefly recounted the affairs of the tribe. She also mentioned the treasure found on the beach and the "siren" that the villagers talked about.

After hearing this, the Space Spirit frowned, and said anxiously, "Why don't you go collect the treasure and come back? What if someone else gets it first?"

Su Nuan shook her head, her expression calm. "No rush. People on the coast say they've seen a mermaid. Whether it's true or not, no one will dare to go after the treasure anytime soon."

"Also, what we need most right now is food, and farming is our top priority. We must quickly subdue the tribe and stabilize the situation."

She paused and continued, "Through my contact with the chief, I understood one thing..."

Before Su Nuan could finish her words, the space spirit couldn't wait to interrupt, with a hint of excitement in her tone: "Do you understand that only by taking them as slaves can we grow more food? If you ask me, you should have done this a long time ago!"

Su Nuan's mouth twitched slightly, and she was speechless. Her thinking was not good, she needed to be taught a lesson.
