Chapter 199 Remembering the Glacier

Why did they get here?

Jiang Xi blinked, then belatedly realized that her eyesight... seemed to have improved a lot?

She rubbed her eyes, looked repeatedly at the figures in the snow, and then looked around.

She even saw a bird the size of her palm on the treetops of the snow-covered forest.

Just as she was about to take a closer look, the snow-covered branches trembled, and a small bird flapped its wings and flew out.

“Lu Liufeng…”

Jiang Xi murmured, unable to resist sharing this good news with him.

"My eyesight has improved so much! I can see Hollen and the others even from this far away!"

Lu Liufeng was watching the little bird fly away when he heard this and turned his head slightly.

Is it because of the increased mental strength?

Jiang Xi nodded.

"Actually, rather than calling it mental power, I think it can also be called a superpower, except that yours is offensive, while mine is healing."

As she said this, Lu Liufeng landed with her in the snow, and the other three overheard her words.

However, before anyone could speak, Mu Ling shouted.

"My lady! My lady, are you alright?!"

He strode over, grabbed the female master, looked her over and over, stroked her hair, and pinched her cheek.

Jiang Xi was manipulated like a doll by him for a while, and finally pushed him away helplessly.

"I'm fine, what brings you here?"

Yi Yuexi also came over, looked her over from left to right, and after confirming that she was alright, snorted.

“Yesterday, Jiaxi came to tell us that you should stay in Jehol Valley for a few more days and that we shouldn’t worry.”

“He was stammering, which clearly indicated something was wrong, so we set off early this morning.”

As he spoke, he gave Mu Ling a disdainful look.

"He can't transform, fine, but he insisted on coming along. Hollen dragged a big wooden plank, making him slide around in the snow, which delayed us a lot."

Jiang Xi looked towards Hollen and saw him transform back into human form. His brilliant golden hair shone brightly in the snow, and his emerald eyes glanced at her as he nodded.

"The female master."

Jiang Xi nodded to him as well.

"Thank you for your hard work."

As she spoke, she briefly recounted what had happened in the past few days.

Of course, the events at the hot springs and Duan Si's memories are omitted.

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing the black snake coiled around her wrist.

Perhaps it was because we left the Jehol Valley and the weather got colder, but the black snake on my wrist also became much stiffer.

Jiang Xi only showed it to them once before gathering the animal skin and wrapping the black snake tightly to keep it warm.

Mu Ling wanted to poke it a couple of times, but seeing the female master withdraw, he had no choice but to give up.

"Atavism?" Hollen seemed to ponder.

“I know Duan Si’s ancestral home is in Kurkan, but that place changes with the floodwaters, so even the nomadic beastmen would have a hard time finding it, apart from the local snake tribes.”

"Moreover, Kurkan is a long way away. Even if you set off from the Holy City, it will take several months, let alone the Cursed Land."

Furthermore, they cannot leave the cursed land; Duan Si is a sinful beast released by the female.

Jiang Xi has a good attitude.

“I can’t go, and he won’t let go of my hand, so I thought I’d just let him stay in my hand.”

"That way, I can check on his situation from time to time and help him sort out his superpowers."

Given their current situation, this is the best solution.

As they were talking, Naphel arrived.

His gaze lingered for a moment on the wooden planks bound together with animal sinews in the snow, then casually looked away.

Lu Liufeng remained in eagle form and did not revert to human form.

Seeing that everyone had explained it clearly, he spoke up.

"It's getting late, let's head back, otherwise we won't be able to get back before dark."

Fortunately, we met them halfway through the journey. If we had met them in the Jehol Valley, we would have had to stay another day before we could leave.

Jiang Xi nodded in agreement.

However, before climbing onto the eagle's back, she first pulled open Mu Ling's clothes and looked at the wound and grime on his chest.

As she expected, after three days without cleaning, the infection had spread significantly.

However, because the speed was controlled earlier, it was still within a safe range.

She reached out to heal him, sending all the remaining supernatural power within her body into him.

Her healing abilities have improved significantly, and the speed of her healing has increased considerably. She can even sense that she will be completely healed in another two or three days.

Seeing that the female master cared about him, Mu Ling grinned foolishly.

After Jiang Xi finished treating the eagle, she climbed onto its back and waved to them.

"See you in the tribe."

Lu Liufeng grabbed the animal skin bag and flew into the sky.

Mu Ling waved his hand, sat down on the wooden board, and sighed.

"I really miss those days on the glacier."

As he spoke, he tried to glance at Naphel, but Naphel didn't look at him at all.

Hollen transformed back into a lion, bound the animal sinews to his body, and pulled up the plank.

Seeing Mu Ling's smug look, Yi Yuexi couldn't help but say to Huo Lun.

"If you ask me, just leave him here and let him walk back by himself."

"We were in a rush when we came, but we're not in a rush to go back now."

He and Huo Lun never intended to bring Mu Ling along.

After all, an orc who has lost his powers would only cause them trouble.

But Mu Ling kept making a fuss, clutching his chest and saying that his wound had reopened and the contamination was spreading. He said that if he couldn't see the female master again, he would turn into a cursed beast.

There was no other way; he and Hollen had to take him along.

Fortunately, Mu Ling somehow came up with a solution: she made a wooden plank, sat on it, and had Hollen pull her along.

Not exactly a drag on the team, but still quite annoying!

Hollen did not take his advice.

He knew that if he didn't bring Mu Ling back, the female master would definitely come looking for him.

"Let's go."

"Those two from the royal court are still waiting. Don't let the female master fall into their trap."

Jiang Xi only remembered the matter of the royal court after she flew into the sky.

However, it would be troublesome to ask again after landing, so she thought she would wait until she returned to the tribe.

But to her surprise, Layton and Yang were waiting for her in the backyard.

Conya and Carter were also waiting with her, and they waved to her as soon as she returned.

"Female!"

"Female!"

Lu Liufeng landed, and Jiang Xi slid off his back and stood still.

Only after Lu Liufeng transformed did they walk over together.

Jiang Xi was somewhat surprised by the way the two of them were acting.

"Any results this time?"

Just as Yang was about to speak, Jiang Xi said again, "Let's go inside and talk, it's terribly cold outside."

Carter quickly said, "I'll go inform the leader!"

Jiang Xi held him down.

"No, don't go yet."

"Let's go find the leader once we have the results. Otherwise, it's not good to keep making him run back and forth."

Carter scratched his head. "Alright then, remember to give me instructions later, Mistress."

Jiang Xi nodded.

Conya nudged Carter and winked at him.

Carter rammed back.

An orc who doesn't want to impress female envoys is not a good orc.

Pushing open the door to the kitchen, Lu Liufeng placed the animal skin bag in the corner.

Carter and Conya quickly brought in firewood to help start a fire and boil water.
