Chapter 143 Each with their own thoughts

Jiang Xi nodded, examined the silver fish, and then spoke.

"No problem, you can eat it."

Hearing her words, the beastmen, though they believed her, were still somewhat apprehensive and dared not make a move.

Lu Liufeng used his wind blades to cut open the fish's belly and began to clean it up first.

Immediately afterwards, several more silver fish were thrown up from the glacier.

Now, the other orcs dared to join in.

These fish, while not enough to feed twenty-two people, were enough to provide a meal, especially with the dried meat the tribe had prepared over the past few days.

The five orcs carrying the luggage ate the most, as they had to maintain their animal forms and thus consumed a lot of calories.

The aroma of grilled fish filled the air along the glacier.

Although the wind and snow have subsided, they are still quite heavy.

Jiang Xi sat by the fire, looking up in the direction where Yi Yuexi and the others had disappeared, feeling a little worried.

I don't know when they will be back.

As Lu Liufeng flipped the fish over the grill, he noticed the female master's gaze and spoke.

"Don't worry, Mistress, they'll catch up soon."

Jiang Xi nodded.

"I hope so."

The cooking facilities aren't as good as at home, so all the fish are simply grilled.

Sprinkled with salt and chili, it was quite delicious, even better than what I had in the Jehol Valley.

Jiang Xi doesn't have a big appetite and doesn't have much to burn, so she didn't eat much.

Seeing that she really couldn't eat anymore, Lu Liufeng and Mu Ling ate the rest of the fish whole.

Maintaining beast form was very taxing, so Mu Ling only ate about three-tenths of what she needed before setting off again.

Before setting off, a middle-aged orc named Herber came to report, looking rather grim.

“Madam, the remaining food is only enough for two days.”

Even while eating frugally.

Herber is Chen Yun's beast husband. In Hong's absence, he spontaneously organized the beastmen.

Although one of the ministers was dismissed, there are still three left.

There is no hierarchy among the elders, and all three elders have beastmen in their teams.

Herber is Chen Yun's beast husband, Vaughan is Vinal's beast husband, and Benson is Bawa's beast husband.

Benson was distraught and out of sorts because of Liang's death.

While tidying up nearby, Hearing Herber go to report to the female servant, he snorted inwardly.

Judging from her appearance, someone who didn't know better would think she was the chieftain of a tribe.

Lu Liufeng was sensitive to gazes and looked directly at Fu Deng the moment he appeared.

Fu immediately suppressed his displeasure and gave him a fake smile.

A young orc standing next to Fu couldn't help but speak up when he saw Herber fawning over the female servant.

"Fu, why don't you go and show your face in front of the female envoy? We can't let Herber steal all the limelight."

The beastman who spoke was Songwan, the beastman husband of Vinar's daughter. Although he was not Fu's child, they were related by marriage and were like grasshoppers tied to the same string.

Fu Leng snorted.

"What's there to say? Although she's a female envoy, she's still a female. What long trips has she ever taken? What decisions can she make? As long as she doesn't screw us over! Whoever wants to go can go."

If his mistress had any unmarried sons, he would be willing to go out of his way to please her and have his own son marry into the family.

When Songwan heard him say that, he sighed inwardly.

His gaze fell on the female servant surrounded by beastmen. Thick animal skin clothing covered her hair, revealing half of her face, which was as white as snow, with a pointed chin, red lips, and white teeth.

She was more beautiful than any female he had ever seen.

When the female messenger first came to the tribe, she tried to befriend him, but he found it disgusting and immediately married Vinar's daughter.

Now, only half a year has passed, and although his mistress also dotes on him, it's nothing compared to the prestige of a beast husband who serves as a female servant.

His brother, who had married far away in the Giant Tree Forest, had mentioned news of the Golden Soul Fruit...

This made him somewhat restless.

If he could leave his current mistress and marry a female servant, he would be incredibly successful in the future.

Suddenly, his gaze toward the female envoy became much more intense.

Jiang Xi was completely unaware of all of this.

After hearing Herbert's words, she turned to look at Raman, who was floating on the water.

Before she could speak, Raman twisted his red hair and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, female envoy. If I come across any edible fish, I will catch them."

Raman didn't usually interact much with the tribe, so the orcs rarely asked him for help. Hearing him say this, they all expressed their gratitude.

"Raman, thank you, you're so kind."

"Raman, I didn't know you were such a kind-hearted orc."

"..."

Raman snorted inwardly.

If it weren't for the desire to please the female servants, who would care about their lives?

Jiang Xi smiled and thanked her.

Thank you.

Raman smiled and said, "It is my honor to serve the female servant."

Mu Linglang narrowed his eyes, let out a low growl, and slightly bared his sharp teeth in the direction of Raman.

Hearing his threatening growl, Jiang Xi assumed he had discovered some danger and asked.

"What happened?"

Lu Liufeng spoke at the opportune moment.

"It's nothing, let's go."

As he spoke, he gently patted Mu Ling's wolf body.

Hollen also responded.

"Let's go."

The female master isn't some beastman; she's attracted to all of them.

After so much time, the only two people we can be sure of are Lu Liufeng and Mu Ling.

Although, on the surface, the female master is still rejecting Mu Ling.

But Hollen could sense that the female master had gradually accepted and become dependent on Mu Ling.

Mu Ling snorted coldly, his strong limbs strode out, and he took a big step forward, carrying the female master with him.

Even though Yi Yuexi wasn't there, he could still sense Yi Yuexi's annoying tone coming from Raman.

However, he hated Raman even more than Yi Yuexi!

He dared to seduce the female master in front of him and the other beastmen; he was shameless!

Jiang Xi scratched her head, confused, but didn't think too much about it; as long as there was no danger, it was fine.

The rest of the journey was much calmer.

They avoided the midday blizzard, suffered no casualties, caught a lot of fish, and even found a cave before nightfall.

Although it's not very big, it's enough for everyone to squeeze in and spend the night.

Outside the cave, clusters of fires were lit, and the beastmen sat around them in twos and threes, starting to roast fish.

Jiang Xi saw several unfamiliar, burly men among them, and only after Lu Liufeng explained did she realize who they were.

They were the five orcs who always maintained their animal forms and carried the luggage.

While they were grilling fish, a red figure wearing an animal skin and bare-chested slowly walked over from the direction of the glacier.

When Jiang Xi saw him, another red figure came to mind.

Even the scales hidden around its waist started to get slightly warm.

Putting everything else aside, the scale on her waist certainly played a significant role throughout the day.

Like a hot water bottle, it warmly enveloped her, preventing her from experiencing the bone-chilling cold since she set off.

Raman stood by the fire in front of the female messenger, under the gaze of the orcs, and laughed.

"Female Envoy, you don't mind if I borrow your fire, do you?"
