Chapter 174 Meeting an Acquaintance

Jiang Xi's foot suddenly stepped on something she shouldn't have.

She felt a sudden urge to jump and quickly bent her knees to pull her feet up.

But with her completely nestled in Mu Ling's arms, where could she possibly escape to?

In the end, she could only curl her toes, blush with embarrassment, and whisper to him to tone it down.

"Mu Ling!"

We're on our way!

It's not like we're at home!

Moreover, Nafi was also there.

She couldn't help but look in Nafer's direction.

The young man, his hair covered in snow, had already swept the snow under the tree clean and was bending down to light a fire, seemingly unaware of what was happening here.

Mu Ling hugged the female master and rubbed his chin against her face.

"Let's ignore him."

Jiang Xi raised her hand to push his face and muttered.

"Your face is covered in stubble, you've hurt my face."

Mu Ling quickly moved away and carefully examined the female master's face.

Seeing the red stains on her fair and delicate skin, he felt a pang of heartache.

He took the female master's hand and slapped it against his face.

"It's all my fault, Mistress, hit me."

Jiang Xi touched the stubble on his cheek, pinched it with her fingers, and when she saw his gray-blue wolf eyes shining, she couldn't help but hum.

"That's all I ever think about!"

She used to think this was just a way for the beastly husband to admit his mistakes.

But now, it's obvious that Mu Ling is a complete masochist.

She patted him twice, stepped on him twice, and he didn't feel insulted, but only as a reward, his unseen wolf tail wagging more enthusiastically than anyone else's.

She stepped down slightly with her foot.

Upon hearing Mu Ling's muffled groan, she took advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, lifted the animal skin, and rolled off his arms.

As Mu Ling reached out to grab it, Jiang Xi had already picked up a piece of animal hide and thrown it in his direction, covering his face.

She snorted.

"Don't push your luck!"

After saying that, she reached for the shoes in his hand.

But as soon as he reached out, Mu Ling grabbed his hand and pulled him back into her arms.

Bare feet, already on the snow, were pressed down and trampled on again.

In an instant, Mu Ling shivered from the cold, and her impulsiveness subsided considerably.

But soon, he regained his spirits.

When Jiang Xi realized what was happening, she was already wrapped in animal hide again, with nowhere to put her feet.

Just then, Nafer finished lighting the fire and swam over.

"Mu Ling, carry the female master to warm herself by the fire, I'm going to catch fish in the icy river."

Mu Ling grunted and picked up the female master, who was wrapped in animal skin.

But before he could walk over, Nafi suddenly looked towards the north side of the glacier, his expression turning serious.

Something's coming!

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the already frozen river, including the water beneath the ice, froze up and spread northward.

Mu Ling stopped acting recklessly. He fastened his animal skin and cautiously took a few steps back while holding the female master.

Just then, a fire lit up the ice not far away, and a familiar red-haired youth emerged from the melting ice. Upon seeing the person in front of him, he immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Female!!"

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment.

Nafer turned to look at her.

"Does the female owner know her?"

Jiang Xi nodded and quickly replied.

"Hurry and bring him over. He is Raman from the Lion's Roar tribe, a mermaid."

Although Nafiel was puzzled as to how there could be merfolk outside the Dark Lake tribe, he withdrew his powers and restored the ice to its original state.

Raman quickly swam over, and when he saw the snake-like orc standing by the glacier, he was also taken aback.

"The Serpent Clan?"

His gaze lingered briefly on the other's snow-white hair and silvery-white tail, and then, recalling the unusual ice in the glacier earlier, he suddenly realized what was going on.

"How could the Python Tribe have someone like you..."

He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.

Because Raman sensed the bond between the snake-like beastman and the female messenger.

He was stunned for a moment.

"You and the female servant have entered into a marriage contract?"

Jiang Xi showed a hint of embarrassment, but quickly suppressed it and asked about the important matter.

"Raman, do you know how Lu Liufeng and the others are doing?"

Raman snapped out of his daze, and although his feelings were incredibly complicated, he still spoke.

"After I received the news that the female messenger was missing, I searched all the way south. At that time, everyone was searching in the snow forest, but that was three days ago. Now, I don't know where they are."

“Three days…” Jiang Xi was stunned.

"Three days have already passed?"

In her memory, she was sucked into a black hole, appeared in an underground tribe, and received treatment... treatment!!

After having her powers extracted, she fainted and lost all sense of time.

Even after confirming that Raman and the female master knew each other, Nafiel stood by the glacier and did not leave.

Because he sensed an unpleasant aura emanating from this orc.

Just then, Jiang Xi's stomach suddenly rumbled, causing all three people present to look at her.

Raman laughed.

"Please wait a moment, I'm going to catch some fish."

Raman is a merfolk who dominates the waters, and Jiang Xi did not refuse.

"Thank you for your help."

Raman smiled and sank into the water.

Mu Ling gave Nafiel a disappointed look, then carried the female master to sit down by the fire.

Nafi noticed his gaze.

But he didn't explain, and sat down on the stone by the fire.

Mu Ling couldn't help but speak up.

"You're already the female master's beast husband, how can you let other beastmen go fishing!"

Why give other orcs a chance to shine for no reason?

Although he sympathizes with Raman's experience, it doesn't mean he will let him perform in front of the female master and gain her attention.

Before Nafiel could speak, Jiang Xi asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, isn't it? Raman has been fishing for everyone the whole way?"

Mu Ling naturally wouldn't tell the female master that Raman was showing off his ability to find food.

At that moment, Nafer's voice rang out, cold and merciless.

"I don't trust him."

"Huh?" Jiang Xi's dark eyes widened. "You're worried?"

"What are you worried about?"

Nafiel: "Anyway, the aura around him isn't good."

Mu Linglang's eyes narrowed.

"Could he have been contaminated?!"

Jiang Xi raised her hand, cupped his face, and pressed it down toward her, humming softly.

"Do you think I don't exist? If he were contaminated, how could I not notice?"

Mu Ling grasped the female master's hand that was pressed against his face and rubbed it against her. He looked at the female master and chuckled.

Jiang Xi couldn't stand his silly grin.

He's clearly a cool guy, but he acts like a silly dog ​​every day.

She withdrew her hand and looked at Naphel by the fire.

When she met those misty, light blue eyes, she was slightly lost in thought, but quickly recovered and spoke.

"Naffier, we'll rest for half the night and then continue our journey, is that alright?"

After saying that, she quickly explained.

"I'm a little worried and want to go back as soon as possible."

Although Jiang Xi didn't know what she was worried about, she couldn't calm down.

If she goes back sooner, there will be fewer uncertainties.

Naphel will not refuse.

He nodded and said, "Okay."

Whatever the mistress says is fine.

In this way, would he be able to gain the favor of the female master, just like Mu Ling...?
