Chapter 144 Everyone Shows Goodwill

The beastmen's gazes shifted to mockery.

As a merfolk orc, Raman had no need to curry favor.

Besides, isn't he himself a fire-type ability user?

The fire in front of the cave was mostly filled with familiar orcs sitting together.

Jiang Xi's place is only occupied by her and her three beast husbands.

When she heard Raman say this, she was taken aback for a moment, then her gaze swept around the surrounding fires. Seeing that there were more people around the other fires than around hers, she lit one.

But before she could even speak, Mu Ling refused outright.

"There's no room!"

His wolf-like eyes swept coldly over them.

I hate orcs acting like this the most!!

Lu Liufeng nudged Mu Ling, looked up at Raman, and smiled.

"Please sit down."

“You’ve been catching fish all day and you must be tired. We thought you’d eat raw fish, so we didn’t call you over.”

He said this to Raman, and also to Mu Ling.

Now that everyone is in a team, and with food shortages, Raman has solved the food problem, which will give him a high enough status in the team.

Lu Liufeng, Mu Ling, and Huo Lun will not let the female lead go hungry.

But what about the others?

They can't solve the food problem for so many people.

Jiang Xi also quietly put her hand on Mu Ling's back and pinched him, then quickly said to Raman.

"Please sit down, please sit down."

Raman smiled and sat down casually, as if he hadn't heard Mu Ling's words at all, and greeted him with a smile as well.

Hollen made room for him and then rummaged through the potatoes buried in the ashes.

Raman saw Lu Liufeng applying a red powder to the fish and asked curiously.

"Is this the chili pepper that the female envoy discovered?"

He had heard about the food in the Jehol Valley.

However, he was a loner and it was inconvenient for him to go to the Jehol Valley, so he never tried the food found there.

Lu Liufeng nodded.

"You can try it in a while. I don't know if you sea people can get used to it."

Upon hearing Lu Liufeng mention the sea tribe, Jiang Xi had a sudden inspiration and looked at Raman, asking him a question.

"Raman, where did you live before you came to the Cursed Land?"

Seeing that the female master was interested in him, Raman's smile deepened.

"I am a member of the Red Fish Clan from the Great Western Sea. When I went to the Sea Palace to offer tribute, I accidentally broke the Sea Prince's pearl..."

When Jiang Xi heard that it was the Great Western Sea and not the Boundless Sea, her interest waned somewhat.

However, I tried to gather my thoughts and listened to him finish recounting his experience.

Basically, he broke the sea pearl of the sea prince and was thus exiled to the cursed land. He initially lived in the Dark Lake tribe, but later followed the glacier to the Lion Roar tribe. He liked it there and stayed.

Jiang Xi thought, "This is truly an undeserved disaster."

However... would breaking the sea prince's pearl lead to exile?

The royal family of the sea creatures is far too domineering.

Besides Jiang Xi and her group, the other orcs around the campfire were also listening intently.

This was also the first time they had learned about Raman's past.

While everyone felt that the Sea Clan royal family was domineering, Lu Liufeng and Huo Lun's eyes flickered.

Others didn't know what a sea pearl was, but they did.

Sea pearls are carriers of seabed energy, and only one is born every few hundred years. But one pearl can elevate the realm of a sea creature by one or two major levels.

Break it?

No, it's more like theft.

Sea pearls cannot be broken; they can only be absorbed.

Because it only works on sea creatures, and it takes hundreds of years to produce even one, most beastmen don't know what it is.

Some orcs stood up for Raman.

"The sea tribe royal family is far too domineering!"

"It's just a bead, yet you've been exiled to this wretched place!"

Raman smiled.

"The sea people are led by the royal family, unlike the land-dwelling beastmen, who are ruled by the strong and led by tribes."

Someone else asked.

"You lived in the Dark Lake Tribe at first? Wasn't it a good place? I remember that when you sea tribes were exiled here, you were all exiled directly to the Dark Lake Tribe."

Raman smiled again.

"It is precisely because the sea people are exiled here to the Dark Lake. The Dark Lake tribes are also divided into different classes based on bloodline, unlike our Lion Roar tribe, where as long as you are strong enough, you can have a say in the tribe regardless of bloodline."

His combination of criticism and praise fueled the indignation of the Lion's Roar tribe's beastmen, who began to criticize the Sea Clan and the Dark Lake Tribe, saying it was no wonder they were always at the bottom of the seven tribes, that their vision was too narrow, and so on...

As Jiang Xi listened to Raman's grievances and the orcs' curses, she felt that something was off.

She turned her head, wanting to glance at Lu Liufeng, but her gaze was drawn to Mu Ling instead.

His wolf-like eyes were filled with anger, and he looked like he was standing up for Raman.

Jiang Xi was taken aback.

this……

Didn't you just hate Raman?

Now you can empathize with them?

Suddenly, a nervous, stuttering voice rang in Jiang Xi's ears.

"Female, female, this is the fruit wine I brewed. It's cold, would you like to have some?"

Jiang Xi turned around.

She then realized that Chen Yang had been standing next to her at some point.

He was holding a leather bag, and his fair face was flushed.

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved her hand.

"No need, no need!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang deflated like a punctured balloon and quickly fled back to his father's side.

Herb looked at him with disappointment and lowered his voice.

"Couldn't you have said a few more words?!"

Chen Yang had already mustered up his courage to walk over, but when he saw the female envoy's face, he couldn't say a word.

Those two sentences alone exhausted all his courage.

At that moment, a black figure stood up and walked over.

Giles placed the fruit, wrapped in animal hide, directly on the ground in front of the female envoy.

"Female, have some fruit."

After saying that, he didn't wait for the female envoy to refuse and turned back to his campfire.

Immediately afterwards, many other young orcs followed suit and placed some food in front of Jiang Xi.

She was both amused and exasperated.

But when there were many people, it was difficult to refuse their kindness, so I could only thank them.

Herb watched, feeling increasingly disappointed and frustrated with Chen Yang beside him.

He snatched the animal skin bag from his son's hand, stood up, and walked towards the female envoy.

“Madam, Chen Yang is a boy who loves to make wine from fruits. In this freezing weather, a sip of wine can warm you up. Please accept it, Madam.”

Jiang Xi had already accepted the snacks from the other orcs, so she didn't refuse any further and took the animal skin bag from Herber's hand.

"Then I'll accept it, thank you."

Herb chuckled, "You're too kind, Madam."

Mu Ling sat to the side with a dark expression.

His emotions had shifted from sympathy for Raman to outrage at these damned orcs for daring to seduce the female master!

It's blatant! They don't take these beasts seriously at all!
