Chapter 183 Shall we duel?

What people fear most is what they are most likely to come to pass.

Jiang Xi was flustered, unsure how to explain to Lu Liufeng.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Lu Liufeng appeared at the door and looked in.

"My lady, dinner is ready."

At this moment, Jiang Xi, wrapped in animal skin, was being held in Mu Ling's arms, her lips glistening with moisture as he kissed her.

She panicked instantly and struggled frantically to get out of the animal skin.

"Lu Liufeng, let me explain!"

Mu Ling instantly became unhappy and hugged the person in her arms even tighter.

"What's there to explain!"

He looked directly at Lu Liufeng and said smugly.

"The female master has accepted me! From now on, I am her proper beast husband!"

Not the kind of beastly husband who only has the name of a beastly husband!

Jiang Xi panicked even more.

But before she could speak, Lu Liufeng stepped in.

“I know,” he said.

He lowered his amber eyes, bent down, and gently tidied the messy hair on the female's forehead, speaking softly.

"The meal is ready. Would you like to eat now, Mistress?"

Jiang Xi stared blankly at him, feeling his long, slender fingers caressing her cheek, somewhat unable to react.

"You...you...you found out..."

Her voice faltered slightly, clearly indicating that she wasn't prepared to be honest.

But to his surprise, Lu Liufeng already knew, and remained calm.

Lu Liufeng smiled and nodded.

Jiang Xi swallowed.

"You...you don't mind?"

She had clearly promised him that she only wanted him as her beastly husband.

Now, however, she has broken her promise.

Lu Liufeng shook his head.

"The female master should have more male beasts."

Jiang Xi didn't understand, but seeing that Lu Liufeng's words didn't seem to be false, she first explained Mu Ling's situation.

"Mu Ling was seriously injured and almost died. I... I'm really scared, scared that I'll never see him again."

Mu Ling snorted.

Clearly, he wasn't satisfied with this explanation, as if he wouldn't be with him if he hadn't almost died.

"Does the female master not like me?!"

He asked directly.

As he spoke, he tightened his arms around the female protagonist, and with one hand he held her face, turning it towards him so they could look at each other.

Jiang Xi met his grey-blue wolf eyes, and the guilt she had managed to suppress welled up again.

Her eyes flickered.

With Lu Liufeng by her side, she inexplicably felt a little hesitant to speak.

There's a sense of shame and guilt about flirting with your lover in front of your husband.

Lu Liufeng spoke.

"Mu Ling, it's time for the female master to eat. Now that she has accepted you, of course she likes you. Stop fooling around."

As he spoke, he reached out to embrace the female master in Mu Ling's arms.

Mu Ling snorted, turned around while holding the female master, preventing him from holding her, and then put the female master down.

Underneath the animal skin, she was completely naked. Jiang Xi quickly grabbed the animal skin and said embarrassedly, "You all go out first, I'll wear the animal skin."

Mu Ling didn't move, his wolf eyes shining brightly.

Lu Liufeng was about to leave, but seeing Mu Ling's appearance, he had no choice but to stay.

Otherwise, the female master won't be able to eat lunch.

He stepped forward, took the animal skin garment, and helped the female master put it on.

On her snow-white skin, the marks left from last night were still visible. Lu Liufeng's breathing became slightly heavy. Mu Ling reached out again, pulled the female master into his arms, and lowered his head to kiss her.

"Mu Ling, it itches, let go quickly."

Jiang Xi quickly pushed him away and hid in Lu Liufeng's arms.

Lu Liufeng raised his arm to block Mu Ling, his voice turning colder.

"Mu Ling!"

Mu Ling pouted and had no choice but to release the female master.

Then, his wolf-like eyes gleamed as he spoke.

"How about the mistress sleeps in my room tonight?"

Jiang Xi quickly put on the animal skin coat.

"Let's talk about it tonight, let's talk about it later."

Mu Ling squeezed forward, pushing Lu Liufeng aside.

“Last night the female master slept in Lu Liufeng’s room, so tonight she has to sleep in my room. I can’t be biased.”

Lu Liufeng spoke at the opportune moment.

“Naffier is here. We might go to the Jehol Valley today and pick some spices and vegetables while we’re there.”

Mu Ling: "I want to go too!!"

Lu Liufeng's eyes flickered slightly, "Have your powers been restored?"

Mu Ling's face fell instantly.

"No……"

"The female master said it would take another ten days or so."

If his powers are not restored, he will not be able to go to the Hot River Valley.

For a moment, Mu Ling was extremely depressed.

But no matter how depressed and irritable he was, he would never have imagined that Lu Liufeng had said this on purpose.

Lu Liufeng also wanted to keep the female master for a few more days.

After Jiang Xi finished washing up, the kitchen was already full of beastmen.

There are two empty spaces between Yi Yuexi and Hollen, and one empty space next to Nafiel.

Jiang Xi then went to the two empty seats.

Mu Ling was quick-witted and grabbed the other one, so Lu Liufeng had no choice but to sit next to Nafier.

Today's lunch included: stewed beef with potatoes, roasted pork chops, winter melon and pork bone soup, cold pork head salad, stir-fried taro with shepherd's purse, and boiled corn.

Jiang Xi held the bowl, looking at the table full of dishes, and thought to herself that Lu Liufeng's cooking skills were getting better and better!

Yi Yuexi and Huo Lun had been eating very rough food these past few days, and only last night when the female master returned did they get to eat a good meal after a long time.

Not to mention Mu Ling, who had been eating and sleeping in the open along the way and hadn't had anything good to eat.

For a moment, the dining table was filled with the sounds of the beastmen enjoying their food.

Jiang Xi ate very little, less than one-tenth of what they ate.

She ate until she was about 70% full, then held the winter melon and pork bone soup and sipped it slowly.

At this moment, Nafer spoke.

Are we going to Jehol Valley later?

He had never been to Rehe Valley, but he had just heard Lu Liufeng mention it.

Jiang Xi's gaze flickered, landing on Mu Ling before returning to its original position.

"Um!"

"Let's go there! I wonder how things are in Jehol Valley."

Nafi continued, "I'll go borrow the Pact Tablet in a bit."

Jiang Xi was stunned, as were the other four people at the table.

"Borrow the contract signing stone tablet? What do you need it for?"

Nafiel stated frankly, "The female master and Nakan have formed a pact."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Ling was the first to explode.

"Naffel! Don't push your luck!"

"Back in the underground tribe, if you hadn't threatened my life, would the female master have entered into a marriage contract with you?!"

"The Queen doesn't want to marry you at all! If it weren't for the marriage contract, and you hadn't refused to help, how could you possibly have married her?! Now you want your brother to marry in too? Let me tell you, don't even think about it! You should go find the Golden Soul Fruit as soon as possible, dissolve the marriage contract, and hurry back to your Python Tribe. Who wants you?!"

Mu Ling roared and recounted, embellishing the story of how Nafier forced the female master into a marriage contract.

For a moment, apart from Yi Yuexi and Huo Lun, even Lu Liufeng's gaze turned somber.

All they knew was that the female master was in danger, Nafiel helped her, and they entered into a marriage contract, but they had no idea that there were so many other things that happened in between.

Nafiel did not explain Mu Ling's exaggeration.

He sat down in the chair, drank the last mouthful of soup in his bowl, then looked up at the orcs at the table.

"Shall we duel?"
