Chapter 198 The Baton

Nakan pursed his lips, his golden eyes lowered slightly to conceal the loneliness in them, and he helped the female servant Xixi to her feet.

"Are you really okay?" he asked.

Jiang Xi had just said "It's nothing" when she saw his red hair and golden snake eyes.

She paused for a moment, then, remembering what she had said, her cheeks flushed red, and she quickly apologized.

“Nafel, I’m sorry…no, no, Nakan, I mean I’m sorry…”

An apology that is utterly unconvincing.

This is truly a disaster.

Nakan's smile was somewhat awkward, but mistaking him for Nafiel was better than not seeing him at all.

He deliberately spoke in a lighthearted tone.

"Actually, when we were first born, we were all red snakes, and we couldn't tell who was who. We called each other names randomly. Sometimes I was Nafiel, and sometimes Nafiel was Nakan..."

"The name was not finalized until after Nafiel became albino."

"Therefore, I can also be Nafer."

His words were practically saying, "I'm also the female master's beast husband."

Jiang Xi was feeling awkward, so she didn't understand his implied meaning and even gave an awkward laugh.

"Haha, really?"

Lu Liufeng and Nafier were cooking by the messy riverbank.

The moment the female and Nakan emerged from the cave, they noticed it.

Lu Liufeng turned around, about to say that the food would be ready soon, but as soon as he turned around, he noticed the different atmosphere between the female master and Nakan.

He pursed his lips, lowered his long eyes, and withdrew his gaze.

He thought that something had happened between the female master and Nakan, and that he was one step closer to marrying Nakan.

Nafiel, however, did not think so, because he sensed the disappointment in Nakan's heart.

However, he didn't say anything and continued washing the vegetables.

Jiang Xi was on the riverbank, treating the beastmen who had been injured in the rage.

After treating each of them, she was surprised to find that the three little pigs were perfectly fine!

It's not exactly fine, the shed is newly built, and the location isn't the same as before.

But surprisingly, none of them were harmed!

Nakan swam behind her, taking the initiative to offer her work.

"Don't worry, madam. I know what they eat. I will cut bananas to feed them every day."

He secretly observed how Duan Si fed the pigs and secretly followed his route to find the banana grove.

Finally, his efforts paid off.

With Duan Si away, he can fully express himself when it comes to feeding the pigs.

Jiang Xi couldn't possibly refuse him.

After all, she was even less likely to trouble Yves than Nakan.

At least, Nakan is Nafiel's brother, so the difference in their relationship can be somewhat blurred.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Nakan."

She read his name aloud to make sure she didn't mispronounce it again.

Nakan's golden eyes lit up.

"No trouble at all!"

"This is what I should do!"

Jiang Xi looked at him, her lips moving slightly.

But in the end, nothing was said.

Because she also knew that whatever she said would seem pale and powerless.

After she became infatuated with Nefertari and slept with him, things spiraled out of control like a runaway horse...

The Jehol Valley was engulfed in a violent attack by supernatural forces; large swaths of forest near the riverbanks were destroyed, leaving the area in complete disarray.

Fortunately, the Jehol Valley is very large, and this ruin will not affect their lives for the next month.

During the time Jiang Xi was unconscious, the beastmen of Rehe Valley did not rest. They gathered a lot of food and sent it back to the Lion Roar Tribe.

Today, many of the snake-beastmen in the Jehol Valley have a female ruler from the Lion's Roar tribe.

Therefore, the Lion's Roar tribe has become a new home for many snake-beastmen.

When spring comes and the snow melts, a large number of snake-beast people from the Python Tribe will move to the Lion Roar Tribe.

I can't even imagine how frantic the Mangjiao tribe will be then.

After finishing their meal, Lu Liufeng carried the food and left Rehe Valley with the female protagonist on his back.

The first female had planned to leave long ago, but stayed because the female had fallen into a coma.

Since the female envoy was safe, she was carried away by her own airspace beast, Fu Hong.

Some of the women who left were those who missed their husbands and cubs at home.

Of course, many females did not want to go back and freeze, so they stayed.

Nakan stood on the riverbank, waving to the sky.

"I will take good care of the three little pigs!"

Nafel: "I'm leaving."

Nakan, still gazing at the sky, called out loudly, "Goodbye—Goodbye, Female Envoy—"

Nafi glanced at him, then turned and left.

Nakan did not look away until the black dots in the sky disappeared completely.

He glanced around the area and then frowned.

"Where is Naphir?"

"Why didn't you say goodbye before leaving?"

Yves, standing beside him with two small green snakes: "..."

"Would you like me to show you the location of the banana grove?"

Nakan raised his chin, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

"I know."

He not only knows where it is, but also knows to feed it twice a day.

"Little pig, little pig, grow up quickly!"

He will definitely raise the three little pigs to be plump and healthy!

Jiang Xi took a quick shower at the hot spring to wash away the impurities that had seeped out of her body during her breakthrough, before flying back.

She lay on Lu Liufeng's back, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and in no mood to look at the scenery.

Lu Liufeng tilted his head slightly and asked gently, "Mistress, what's wrong?"

Jiang Xi rolled over, lay on his back, buried her face in the soft feathers, and mumbled a soft "mmm".

How should she bring it up...?

How can I bring up that absurd night?

Will Lu Liufeng think she's being too much...?

She buried herself even deeper into the feathers.

This is insane!

Lu Liufeng's hawk-like eyes flashed, and he guessed what the female master was troubled about.

But since the female master didn't say anything, he didn't press the issue either.

This matter was partly due to Nefertari's serpentine nature, but also to his unstable mind.

He was wrong.

"Lu Liufeng...that day..."

Jiang Xi's lips moved, but after saying a couple of words, she couldn't continue.

I simply can't bring myself to say it!

Lu Liufeng flapped his wings and quickened his pace.

His voice rang out, mingling with the sound of the wind.

"The female master doesn't need to think too much. Whatever the female master does is right. We are the ones who are wrong."

That's an awkward remark, no matter where you put it.

But Jiang Xi understood Lu Liufeng, so she knew that these words were what he truly felt.

Her feelings were even more complicated.

"That's still not allowed..."

She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and finally, in a desperate move, she uttered a sentence.

"Then next time, remember to stop me."

Stop my indulgence.

That's ridiculous.

Lu Liufeng said "okay".

He then wanted to inform the female master about her fox-like and snake-like nature as well.

But before he could speak, a lion's roar echoed from the snow-covered forest not far away.

He stared intently and saw Hollen's golden figure.

Jiang Xi peeked out from his back and saw that golden hue.

"Is that Hollen?"

Lu Liufeng narrowed his eagle eyes and saw the other two figures clearly.

"And Yi Yuexi and Mu Ling."

Jiang Xi was surprised.

"Why did they come?"

She strained to focus and saw the snow-white figure next to the golden one, and... on the sled pulled by the golden lion... Mu Ling!!?
