Chapter 220 Camping by the River

Mu Ling squeezed through and pushed Yi Yuexi aside.

Jiang Xi's beast husbands are all beastmen who have seen a lot.

Compared to them, the orcs of the Lion's Roar tribe were the ones who were so embarrassed that they didn't know whether to step with their left or right foot.

Where have they ever experienced such a scene?

Moreover, they had excellent hearing and could hear what the females nearby, and even those further away, were saying, making them so embarrassed that they wanted to run away.

Fortunately, the royal outpost was not far away, and the group quickly turned into a courtyard, keeping the onlookers, beastmen and females, outside.

Carter raised his hand and wiped away non-existent cold sweat.

"That's terrifying."

Gasi echoed, "That's terrible."

They are even more terrifying than the females of the Lion's Roar tribe.

Yang chuckled and teased.

"You are all orcs with the ability to grant amnesty. If you work hard, you might be able to marry a female from the Giant Tree Forest."

Carter and Gacy immediately shook their heads.

"No, no, no need. I think the Lion's Roar Tribe is quite good."

"Me too, me too."

Before they could exchange more than a few words, a chubby orc staggered in from behind the courtyard, wiping his sweat and forcing a smile.

"Beast Master, why is the Beast Master here at this time?"

Then, he froze, looking at the dozen or so tall and muscular orcs in the courtyard.

"These are..."

Yang didn't waste any words and spoke directly.

"Arrange meals and accommodations for us."

The fat orc was in a bit of a predicament.

"Eating isn't difficult; spring is here, and there's more food available. But accommodation..."

"As the Beastmaster knows, tomorrow is the Spring Festival. For some reason, there are a lot more beastmen from outside this year, and all the places to stay are full."

The orcs outside refer to those outside the Giantwood Forest.

Yang frowned slightly.

The fat orc wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled even more obsequiously.

"How about this, you stay at my house and they just set up a tent by the river for the night?"

"There are quite a few orcs setting up tents by the river; the weather's getting warmer..."

Yang gave him a forced smile, and he tilted his head slightly backward.

Do you know who that is?

The fat orc looked in the direction he pointed and saw a female whose face was only half visible, surrounded by five beastmen.

He then noticed that among the five beastmen, three were at the fourth rank and two at the third rank.

There was also a fourth-tier orc in another location.

In an instant, the fat orc had already figured out how he would be thrown into the Spring River.

Who...who is this important person?!

This lineup of beastmen is practically comparable to the legendary favored females!

"How about... how about the beast tamers and distinguished guests all stay at my house..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xi interrupted him.

"Let's go to the riverbank and set up a tent. We'll be sleeping like this all the way anyway. We just need some food, cloth, and clothes."

If we have nowhere to live, so be it. It's not a big problem.

The fat orc breathed a sigh of relief.

"No problem, no problem, I'll send someone to prepare food and clean clothes right away."

Yang turned his head to look at Jiang Xi.

"Female Envoy, it's decided that we'll stay in a tent by the river."

The fat orc almost fainted from catching his breath.

"Female...female messenger!!?"

"How about you stay at my place..."

Jiang Xi waved her hand.

"No."

She looked around and saw the Chunlai River from here, looking towards the backyard.

Where is a convenient place to pitch a tent? Is there a designated area for tent pitching?

The fat orc quickly replied, "No, no!"

"Or... perhaps the female envoy should..."

Jiang Xi looked at the beastmen behind her and symbolically asked for their opinions.

"Shall we go to the river?"

They certainly wouldn't have any objections.

"no problem!"

"Can!"

"The weather is perfect for swimming a few laps in the river; I hadn't had enough of swimming earlier."

A consensus was reached.

The group crossed the courtyard and headed directly to the Chunlai River behind it.

Chunlai tribe is built along the river, so Jiang Xi chose to build her house directly on the riverbank within the tribe, instead of going outside the tribe, which made it convenient for her to eat and explore the tribe.

Clearly, the orcs who also needed to set up tents shared her idea.

Upon arriving at the riverbank, I looked around and saw a few tents scattered about. The people wearing all sorts of clothes were dressed in very haphazard ways. I glanced at them a few times and then looked away.

Lu Liufeng frowned as he looked at the orcs.

Many of the orcs were very thin and didn't seem like the kind of orcs who would have the means to travel to the Chunlai tribe to celebrate the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival is not only a time to welcome the arrival of spring, but also a good day for beastmen to show themselves and find their female masters.

Generally speaking, only orcs who remain strong and robust after a whole winter are likely to win the favor of females during the Spring Festival.

Orcs like these look like they've been starving all winter...

The other orcs also noticed these orcs. They exchanged glances and then pitched their tents a little further away from them.

The fat orc directed the orcs at the outpost to help, practically kneeling on the ground in his eagerness.

He even had the orcs set up a tent for him, intending to stay there that night.

Jiang Xi couldn't help but say.

"You should go home and stay there. Don't worry about us."

The fat orc patted his chest and said.

"This is my duty, Georgie, to serve the Royal Court and to protect the Giant Tree Forest!"

Jiang Xi: "..."

She gave him a strange look.

Never mind, otherwise I could have become the head of the royal outpost of a medium-sized tribe.

This was handled so well that no one could find fault with it.

Royal outposts are usually set up in tribes near the border to serve the beast guards patrolling the border, as well as to act as transit points for beastmen from the royal court who go to various tribes on business. They also relay some royal court orders to the tribes on behalf of the royal court.

Anyway, it was basically an official office set up by the royal court.

Actually, Jiang Xi prefers camping by the river to staying in a house in the Chunlai tribe.

The river breeze was cool, and the grass was soft.

Laying out animal hides, setting out fruits, roasted meat, and drinks, it looked just like a joyful spring outing!

Yang leaned against a tree by the river with his arms crossed, and smiled as he watched Jiang Xi happily helping to arrange the food.

"Jiang Xi, you've changed a lot this year."

Jiang Xi glanced at him.

Do I know you well?

In any case, no beastman other than her husband could sense this transformative change in her.

She wouldn't expose herself.

Tonight, they didn't cook for themselves, but ate the food that Georgie had sent.

A little while later, the clothes were delivered.

Two young men also came with them.

A female and an orc, both dressed in clean cloth clothes, with fair complexions, clearly had a good winter.

"Georgie explained."

“These are Mary and Baker from the Spider Clan. Their clothes are the best woven in the entire Chunlai Tribe. Their mother is a female from the Holy City, and her clothes are also the best in style.”

Mary and Baker quickly bowed in greeting.

"See the female messenger."

Jiang Xi waved her hand, "No need for formalities."

The two of them cautiously looked up.

They had all heard that they were there to deliver clothes to the noble female envoy of the royal court.

This was their first time seeing a female envoy, and they were all very excited.

But when they saw the female envoy's appearance, they were amazed, but also felt a touch of envy.

I heard that the female envoy is nearly a hundred years old, yet she has maintained such a youthful appearance!

A female's lifespan and youthfulness are related to the strength of her mates.

The longer and stronger the male beast lives, the stronger the power it feeds back to the female, allowing her to live longer and age more slowly.

Generally speaking, most females only live for one or two hundred years.

But it is said that females who have mates from mysterious, long-lived clans can live for hundreds of years and hardly age...
