Chapter 156 He threw himself into her arms

Seeing that the female envoy was unwilling to speak, Raman's eyes flickered, and he did not press the matter further.

Seeing that he had been humiliated, Yi Yuexi snorted coldly in her heart.

How dare you try to teach him a lesson? Do you think he's dead?!

Mu Ling listened to their conversation while munching on beef.

He didn't want to say a single word to those five orcs!

Especially those three orcs from Phoenix Mountain, Ancient Land, and Nightmare Swamp.

They're always nitpicking, finding fault with this and that, saying the outside air is polluted and will damage their abilities. They're always looking for trouble, it's so annoying!

The conversation between the former "beast husbands" abruptly ended.

The five orcs cleverly changed the subject.

One minute they're talking about black holes, the next about pollution, and then they're praising the female servant—it's all full of the social niceties of the beastman world.

One cow, and ten orcs ate it all.

Even the intestines that the beastmen initially couldn't accept were eventually devoured, leaving them with a lingering sense of satisfaction. They made several appointments with Lu Liufeng to ask him for advice upon returning home.

Lu Liufeng nodded to each of them, indicating that there were no problems.

Casualties, especially those caused by contamination, have become commonplace for the orcs of the Cursed Lands.

Therefore, the orcs were in a very good mood, chatting and laughing, without worrying at all about whether they could survive the pollution and return to the tribe alive.

Death is indeed terrible, but living in the moment and enjoying life is the principle followed by the beastmen.

A group of nine people, carrying their packs, walked into the snow forest, heading towards the dark cave in the valley.

Raman floated on the water and waved to the crowd.

His gaze fell on the female envoy, and he spoke loudly.

“Female Envoy, I will continue my search downstream along the glacier.”

Jiang Xi sat on Mu Ling's wolf back and nodded to him.

"Take care on your journey."

After saying that, she patted Mu Ling on the back and told him to set off.

This time, because there was plenty of prey in the valley, all the orcs except Lu Liufeng transformed into their beast forms and did not have to worry about energy consumption.

Jiang Xi sat on Mu Ling's back, her gaze constantly drawn to the nine-tailed snow fox beside her.

The snow fox has nine large, fluffy tails, a pointed mouth, alluring ice-blue fox eyes, and long, prominent eyelashes. It runs gracefully through the snow without slowing down.

In a snow-covered forest filled with cows, horses, and rhinoceroses, the nine-tailed snow fox is a breath of fresh air amidst the robust creatures.

The stark contrast made it impossible for Jiang Xi not to notice it.

Yi Yuexi jumped over with a smile, standing next to Mu Ling, and asked.

"Would you like to climb onto my back, lady? It's very soft."

He patiently guided him.

But before Jiang Xi could answer, a vision of apocalypse, towering buildings, and drooping, glowing vines appeared before her eyes... She was surrounded by a bizarre and fantastical world.

The next second, a mountain of prey appeared before them.

She sat on Mu Ling's back and remained silent for two seconds.

The beastmen in the valley all turned to look.

"The female messenger has returned!"

"The female messenger has returned!"

Hollen stepped forward and glanced back.

"Where is the others? Have they had lunch?"

But as soon as he asked, he knew that the female master had already eaten lunch.

The familiar spicy aroma of hot pot wafted from the female protagonist and Mu Ling.

Did you have hot pot at the glacier?

Hollen thought of the dry-roasted beef he had just eaten, and for a moment his mouth lost its flavor.

Once you've eaten a meal prepared under the guidance of the female master, you'll never be able to eat food that's poorly prepared again.

Mu Ling's tone was full of self-satisfaction.

"Of course they're behind me! They can't catch me at all!"

"We ate! We had hot pot for lunch, a whole beef hot pot, it was so delicious!!"

Jiang Xi wanted to climb down from his back, so she patted his back.

"Lie down."

Upon hearing the female master's voice, Mu Ling's wolf eyes suddenly revealed regret.

Why did he go straight back to the valley? He should have spent some time alone with the female master!

But it was too late now, so he could only slowly lie down.

Jiang Xi slid down his back like a slide.

Due to inertia, she fell forward as soon as her foot touched the ground.

Then, he crashed into her tall, hard chest, making her nose sting and causing her to burst into tears instantly.

Jiang Xi covered her nose and quickly got out of Hollen's arms.

Hollen was stunned for a while before he realized that the female master had thrown herself into his arms.

But when he looked down, he saw the female master covering her nose, her eyes red and filled with tears.

He panicked and quickly bent down to check.

"Did the female master hurt herself? Let me see."

As he spoke, he reached out, trying to pull the female master's hand away.

The skin his fingers touched was delicate and soft, and her wrist was so slender that he dared not hold it.

He pulled it open gently, as if with the slightest force the female master would be as fragile as a broken object.

Jiang Xi moved her hand away, revealing the reddened tip of her nose.

She rubbed it with her other hand, completely unconcerned.

"It's nothing, I just bumped into something."

She wiped away the tears from her eyes, and seeing Hollen's worried expression, she couldn't help but smile through her tears.

"These are just physiological tears, not real tears."

Her dark eyes shimmered with light, her skin was snow-white, her nose was tinged with red, and her lips were curved and rosy. When she smiled, she made the black and white, quiet winter day bright and colorful.

For a moment, Hollen was stunned.

Mu Ling transformed back into an orc, donned an animal skin garment, and slipped in from the side.

He grabbed the female master's shoulders with his large hands and twisted her towards him.

The redness on Jiang Xi's nose had faded considerably, leaving only her dark eyes still moist.

When Mu Ling saw the female master looking at him like that, his body went limp, and his legs were so weak that he wanted to kneel down.

He stared intently at the female master with his wolfish eyes, swallowing hard as he asked.

"Is the female master alright?"

Jiang Xi pushed away his hand that was gripping her shoulder and said again.

"I'm fine."

Just then, a greeting eagle's cry suddenly came from the sky.

Perhaps because she had heard it so many times, Jiang Xi was able to discern the meaning behind the whistling sound.

She looked up at the snow-covered sky.

The next instant, Lu Liufeng appeared above the valley like an arrow, amidst the wind and snow.

Lu Liufeng was already faster in the air than the land-walking beastmen. After the female master left, he increased his speed, leaving the five beastmen to Yi Yuexi to lead the way.

He landed slowly, and seeing that the female was safe and sound, his heart was at ease.

The other orcs then gathered around, asking questions all at once.

"What did the leader say?"

"Have Luan Niu and the others come in too?"

"Mu Ling, you're really fast!"

"..."

The enchanting atmosphere dissipated as the beastmen gathered around.

Mu Ling pouted, somewhat unhappy, but still repeated what she had said at the glacier.

"The chief has set off with seventy orcs, but they won't arrive until tomorrow evening at the earliest."

The beastmen's faces lit up with joy.

"Very good!!"

"In this way, we can both defend against the cursed beasts and bring all the prey back!"

Jiang Xi looked toward the still, silent black hole floating in the valley and asked a question.

Has anything changed about the black hole?
