Chapter 170 Learning Has No Limits

Mu Ling peered over the shoulder and immediately saw the calm surface of the water below.

"have!"

Jiang Xi became increasingly interested in this place.

Judging from the cave we just explored, the first floor should be a warehouse for collective storage or collective management.

Furthermore, judging from the pictographic characters carved on the stone slabs, this tribe has its own culture and script. If she can understand them, she should be able to learn a lot about the history of this place.

Unfortunately, she couldn't understand it.

What caused such a tribe with a complete culture to leave without even having time to pack up the most important food and animal hides in the orc world?

Could it be because of a curse?

However, Nafiel said that this place could isolate the power of the curse.

Jiang Xi stroked her chin, deep in thought.

Why?

She looked up and gazed at the cave on the second level.

Perhaps, we can make more discoveries on the upper floors.

Just as she was about to take Mu Ling upstairs, Nafi's voice rang out in the empty cave hall.

"Mistress, it's time to eat."

Jiang Xi immediately suppressed her curiosity to continue exploring.

"They're here!"

She pulled Mu Ling along.

"Let's go eat!"

"Let's leave after we finish eating!"

No matter how curious you are, you can't let it interfere with your business.

Anyway, I can come again when I have time in the future.

We'll bring Lu Liufeng and the others along then, and explore the area thoroughly.

Although Mu Ling didn't want to eat Nafi's food, he knew that now was not the time for him to throw a tantrum.

You need to be well-fed to have the energy to travel.

He sat down on the stone stool, stared at Nafiel, and tore off a piece of pork chop.

Seeing that he didn't react, she snorted coldly in her heart.

You're smart to know what's good for you!

He turned to hand the pork chop in his hand to the female master, only to find that Nafi had already torn off a piece and placed it on a clean stone plate from who-knows-where, and handed it to the female master.

Jiang Xi looked at the stone disc, made sure it was free of ancient bacteria, and then took it.

"Thanks."

Mu Ling also placed the piece he was holding onto the female master's plate.

"Eat more, Mistress."

Nafiel paused in tearing the meat, then handed over another piece.

Jiang Xi quickly hugged the plate and shrank back.

"Enough! Enough! Enough!"

"I can't eat that much."

The beasts in this world are bigger than she ever knew.

So the two large spare ribs on the plate were enough to make her stomach bulge.

Seeing that the female master refused, Nafiel withdrew his hand and began to eat himself.

The grilled meat had no seasoning, but fortunately the meat was of good quality, so it tasted pretty good and not bad.

During the meal, Mu Ling frequently showed affection for her partner.

He would wipe the female's mouth for a while, and then personally tear off strips of meat to feed her.

While feeding him, he kept glancing at Nafer, clearly envious!

But to his surprise, Nafiel followed suit and reached out to wipe the corner of the female's mouth.

Jiang Xi froze on the spot, awkwardly tugging at the corners of her mouth.

But the next second, her face turned bright red.

Because, Nafiel extended his scarlet forked tongue and licked the finger that had wiped her mouth.

Jiang Xi was so agitated that she wanted to crawl into the ground.

Yet, Nafi remained aloof and indifferent, his eyes half-lowered as he looked at his fingers, as if he were licking something ordinary, not the fingers that had brushed against the female master's lips.

When Mu Ling saw this, she was instantly furious.

"What are you doing?!"

"You clever little scholar!!"

"Has the female master accepted you?! You were only able to marry her because you shamelessly forced your way into the contract! The female master will never like you! Stop daydreaming!!"

Nafiel raised his long, light blue eyes, glanced at him, and gave a faint "Oh".

Then, he looked at the female master, stretched out his finger, and reached out to continue wiping her mouth.

Although he didn't know what he was wiping, the feeling was good.

The female's face was soft, and her lips were soft too. When he licked them, they seemed to taste sweet. He wanted to verify it a few more times.

Jiang Xi quickly stepped back to avoid his outstretched, slender fingers.

She raised her hand, wiped the oil off her lips with the back of her hand a few times, and then spoke quickly.

"It's clean, you don't need to wipe it for me anymore."

Seeing that she refused, Nafer had no choice but to withdraw his hand, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

Mu Ling was furious.

But Nafiel completely ignored him, letting him unleash his fury and roars as if it were nothing, allowing him to punch the soft snow.

Mu Ling had never felt so frustrated.

Even if Nafiel argues with him, it's better than ignoring him like this!

He clenched his fists.

That damn Nafiel, wait until he regains his powers, then I'll teach him a lesson!

The meal was finished in this eerie atmosphere.

As soon as she finished eating, Jiang Xi quickly suggested leaving.

Nafi nodded and stood up.

"Let's go."

Jiang Xi wondered how long it would be before he returned after leaving, and asked him.

"Do you want to pack your things? Is there anything you want to take with you?"

Nafer shook his head.

"No."

Mu Ling's anger subsided somewhat, and she had no choice but to ask him.

"Do you have any clean animal hides? We can take some with us; the female master will need them to keep warm on the road."

Nafer thought for a moment.

“Nakan sent some, I haven’t used them, but they are all clean.”

Mu Ling took the flint and pine resin to help it burn, and then rolled up the animal hides piled up in the cave with Nafier.

Despite his dissatisfaction with Nefertari, he was meticulous in matters concerning the female ruler.

After they finished tidying up, Nafiel led them into the winding passage and upwards.

Mu Ling carried a bundle of animal hides on his back and led the female master by the hand.

After walking for a while, he simply picked up the female master and carried her horizontally.

"The road is difficult to walk on, so I'll carry my mistress."

The hazy glow of ice crystals illuminated the passageway.

Perhaps because it was designed for the snake race, the passage is circular and smooth.

When the path is parallel, it's fine, but now that it's angled upwards, Jiang Xi finds it a bit difficult to walk.

She didn't refuse, hugged Mu Ling's neck, and whispered her thanks.

"Thanks."

Mu Ling kissed the female master's soft face, making a "pop" sound.

"It's all I should do!"

He finally realized just how happy Lu Liufeng was!

The female smells so good! She's so soft!

Thinking that the pollution inside the female body had been almost completely cleared, he felt even more aroused.

The female master has accepted his words, so this time when he goes back, he can be intimate with her, right?

His wolf-like eyes gleamed as he looked at the female master, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed.

Then, he kissed her again.

Jiang Xi covered her burning face, her dark, watery eyes giving him a reproachful look.

"Walk properly."

If Lu Liufeng's love was reserved, then Mu Ling's was passionate, a love she longed to proclaim to the world.

Before they understood each other, Jiang Xi only found him noisy.

Now that they are of one mind, she is enveloped by his passionate love and feels shy and flustered.

Too...too flamboyant.

Mu Ling grinned.

"Walk properly... damn it!!"

He slipped and fell forward.

Just as he was about to throw the female protagonist to the ground with him, a silvery-white snake tail flashed by and snatched the female protagonist from his arms.

With a "bang," Mu Ling crashed heavily onto the smooth ground.

Jiang Xi, before she could even react, was pulled into a cold embrace.

She looked up blankly and met Nafi's misty, light blue eyes.

Nafiel looked down at the female master in his arms, his voice still calm and indifferent.

"The higher we go, the steeper the slope becomes, and the more slippery it gets. I'll carry the female master up."
