Chapter 227 A Private World in the Mountains

Jiang Xi looked at him suspiciously.

Why does it feel like he's being sarcastic?

But soon, she had no time to think.

Because Nafi reached out and touched her waist.

Jiang Xi's dark eyes widened, and she quickly covered her belt, her fair face instantly turning red.

"Naffel! We still have a long way to go this afternoon!"

Nafi hummed in agreement.

"I know."

As he spoke, his long, slender fingers continued to caress the female's waist.

Jiang Xi couldn't stop him at all. Just as she was about to firmly refuse him, a scale interwoven with silver and red was taken out from her waist, held between two jade-white fingers.

Nafiel said, "That will make it faster."

Jiang Xi froze for two seconds.

"What?"

"What do you mean, faster?"

Nafel: "Start a fire."

As he spoke, he picked up the protective scale, threw it into the woodpile, and then channeled his supernatural power into it.

Soon, the white on the scales expanded and spread, while the red was squeezed into a very small space. Suddenly, flames rose from the scales and instantly ignited the firewood pile.

After lighting it, Nafi reached in and took the scales directly from the fire.

He used ice to lower the temperature of the scales before stuffing them back into the female master's belt.

Jiang Xi blushed deeply as she watched his fluid movements.

She patted her burning cheeks, took out the scales that she had tucked back into her waistband, and then took them out again.

The scales have regained their shimmering silver and red hues.

She held up the scales, examined them for a moment, and then struggled to get down from Nefertari's arms.

“Naffel, let me try. I’ll see if I can start a fire with my scales.”

If possible, they would be like mobile sparks of fire!

She couldn't use a flint.

Back in the tribe, she tried to strike a flint and steel until her arm ached, but she still couldn't get a spark out.

Even if a spark is generated, it is easily extinguished; it burns for a while and then goes out.

The fire released from these scales looks very powerful!

Nafiel had never heard of females being able to use the supernatural abilities within their protective scales.

But he still put the female down and picked up a small pile of firewood for her, which he then placed next to her.

Jiang Xi placed the scales under the woodpile and tentatively infused them with healing abilities.

This feeling is strange.

Because there are no supernatural abilities or flesh and blood in the scales that she needs to groom and repair.

However, during the treatment of the injected superpower, she also sensed Nafiel's superpower within it.

The cool, icy power cheered and surged through her body, becoming one with her.

Conversely, the other fire-type ability within the scales, while not aggressive, also showed no inclination to approach her, resembling an inanimate object.

Is this the power of forming a bond?

Jiang Xi stroked her chin, deep in thought.

She turned to look at Nafiel, who was grilling fish.

"Naffel, how did you manage to unleash Nakan's powers?"

Nafiel: "I'll channel my powers into it, taking up space in the protective scales. Nakan's powers will be threatened, and he'll rebel and seize the space."

Jiang Xi blinked.

very good.

Simple and direct.

So she also infused her powers into it, and specifically into Nafer's powers.

The cool, psychic energy, sensing her infusion, cheered and expanded its silvery-white area on the scales, while the red was gradually squeezed to a corner of the scales.

Finally, Jiang Xi sensed the imbalance and sudden surge of power within the scales.

She quickly withdrew her hand, and the instant she did so, flames leaped from the scales, instantly igniting the pile of firewood.

"It's a success!"

Jiang Xi excitedly hugged Nafi's arm.

"Naffel! I did it!"

From now on, I won't have to worry about not being able to light a fire when I live away from home!

Nafi stared blankly at the burning fire.

"Am I amazing or not!" Jiang Xi looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

Nafiel looked into the female master's eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, and nodded.

"The female master is amazing."

Jiang Xi: "Hehe."

She was incredibly excited.

Her healing abilities are indeed powerful, but she lacks aggression.

Now that I have these protective scales, I can not only start fires, but also attack.

Even a small mosquito is still meat, so she was very satisfied!

That afternoon, the two continued their journey.

To conceal their whereabouts, they deliberately took a detour.

This meant that they couldn't reach the agreed-upon tribe before dark and had to spend the night outdoors.

We didn't bring a tent or any food.

Jiang Xi ate fish for lunch and fish for dinner.

Fish in early spring are delicious, and they taste great even without salt or seasoning.

But even if it's good, you'll get tired of eating it if you keep eating it.

Jiang Xi ate half of it, but couldn't eat any more.

She put down the grilled fish and ate some wild fruit she had picked from the woods.

The Giant Tree Forest has abundant water resources, and there is a river not far from where we will stay tonight.

The babbling of the river, accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds in the woods, lingered in the air, yet only brought a sense of tranquility.

The silence of no one.

Jiang Xi leaned closer to Nafier, holding his arm with one hand and munching on a fruit with the other, her lips moist and her mouth full of juice.

If she were alone in the deep mountains and forests, she would still be afraid to spend the night there.

But with Nafiel around, she wasn't afraid.

Even so, she still thought of Lu Liufeng, Mu Ling, and even Yi Yuexi and Huo Lun.

Gathered around the fire in a lively atmosphere, the smoke from cooking rises gently, a scene both warm and nostalgic.

As Jiang Xi was thinking, her chin and the corners of her lips were wiped with a cloth.

When she looked up, she met Nafer's misty, light blue eyes, which were filled with apology.

"Please make do with this, my lady. I will also learn to cook from Lu Liufeng in the future."

Jiang Xi stuck out her tongue to comfort him.

"Actually, it's not bad. River and seafood dishes taste great without any added seasonings."

Of course, it was indeed quite bland.

I miss Lu Liufeng's cooking.

The disciple taught the master to "starve to death."

Ever since Lu Liufeng took over the management of three meals a day, she has been too lazy to lift a finger.

It feels so good to have someone cook for you, and it tastes delicious!

Nafiel knew that the female master was just comforting herself.

He pulled the female into his arms, stroked her hair, and placed a kiss on it.

Although he appeared calm, he was also very worried.

The Heavenly Rank is beyond the comprehension of most beastmen on the beastman continent.

No one knows just how strong that Sea Ancestor really is.

Even if the opponent is suppressed in the Cursed Land, they are still far beyond what these fourth-tier beings can contend with.

He was very worried, worried about the female master.

Although he would follow the female master wherever she went.

But he did not want the female master to be coerced in any way.

That night, the two slept outdoors.

Without a tent, Jiang Xi slept in Nafi's arms.

His embrace was cold, but perhaps because of the marriage contract, Jiang Xi didn't feel cold at all; instead, she felt comfortable and fell into a deep sleep.

In her dream, she was still wandering around with Xiao Duansi.

Xiao Duansi took her to raid bird nests, steal fruit wine, and attend a bonfire dinner hosted by Kurkan for newlywed couples.

Jiang Xi was quite tipsy.

The little black snake cautiously stretched out its head, its bright red eyes reflecting off her fair, rosy face.

She raised her hand and waved it, feeling the little black snake in front of her sway.

The little black snake disappeared, but then, cool scales slid across my neck.

Little Duan Si's voice rang in my ears.

"Female, when I transform into human form, will you marry me?"
