Chapter 230 Hopefully I can catch up

Jiang Xi was feeling embarrassed when a big gray rabbit hopped over, squatted in front of her, and spoke in a childish voice.

"Female sister! My brother is back! Take a look at him, do you like him?"

Jiang Xi: "..."

She chuckled awkwardly and recognized the large gray rabbit in front of her.

"Little Ai, I came to the Giant Rabbit Tribe not to find a beast husband."

Xiao Ai tilted her head in confusion.

"That can't be right, you're so beautiful!"

"The mother has found several female sisters for your brother, but none of them have worked out. I think you can succeed!"

"Xiao Ai!" The young man's voice rang out like a gentle spring breeze.

"Do not be rude."

Xiao Ai stuck out her rabbit tongue and hopped into the house.

Jiang Xi looked up and met the young man's gaze. She nodded awkwardly at him.

"Passing by the Giant Rabbit Tribe, my beastman and I stopped by for a while."

As she spoke, she took Nafi's arm to avoid any misunderstanding.

Judging from what Xiao Ai said, Mary often arranges blind dates for this young man.

Sure enough, no matter where they are, children can't escape blind dates arranged by their parents.

Hill said with a smile.

"My lady, I know. They all told me when we entered the tribe."

"It is an honor for the Giant Rabbit Tribe to have a female messenger visit us."

Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good, that's good.

As he spoke, the young man pointed to the basket on his back and began to say.

"I've picked some fruit; would you like to try some, madam?"

Jiang Xi peeked out, but couldn't see anything.

Although the young man wasn't as giant as his father, he was still quite tall, and even with Jiang Xi craning her neck, she couldn't see anything.

She nodded.

"OK, thanks!"

Although I don't know what it is, the food of the Giant Rabbit Tribe is really delicious and plentiful!

We can introduce them to the Lion Roar Tribe in the future!

Hill put the basket on the ground, and Jiang Xi leaned over to look at it. Her eyes lit up instantly.

"coconut!"

Or perhaps it's a fruit that looks a lot like a coconut.

Hill took one out of the basket, his eyes wide with surprise.

"Does the female recognize this fruit?"

Jiang Xi smiled.

"It's like a fruit I've eaten before, but I'm not sure if it's the same kind."

Hill nodded.

It seems that this noble female messenger comes from the Great Beast City outside the Giant Tree Forest.

Perhaps, it is the Holy City?

Recently, I heard from nearby tribes that many orcs have come from outside, and it seems they are all going to the Cursed Lands.

No one knows what happened in the Cursed Land.

Big Rabbit Xiao Ai squatted down beside them, watching longingly.

"Brother, I want some water."

Hill took a stone knife from the corner and cut open the top of the water fruit. The juice inside was clear, but the flesh around the juice was light green.

Hill handed the first one to Jiang Xi, who then passed it to Xiao Ai.

"Xiao Ai, drink first."

As she spoke, she couldn't resist touching Xiao Ai's fur.

Oh my, it's so fluffy!

I miss my furry friend.

Xiao Ai's eyes widened as she happily hugged the fruit.

"Thank you, female sister!"

After saying that, he hugged the fruit and gulped it down.

Hill shook his head helplessly and took out another fruit to cut.

This time, Jiang Xi did not refuse.

She took a sip; the juice tasted like coconut milk, but it didn't have a milky aroma. Instead, it had a fresh, grassy fragrance—in short, very refreshing!

She held it up to Nafer, her dark eyes sparkling.

“Naffier, you should try it.”

Nafi held it up, took a sip, and then stopped drinking.

He took the fruit and fed it to the female.

"The mistress likes to drink, so drink more."

Jiang Xi could tell he didn't like it, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.

This was the first time she had ever seen him show such obvious dislike.

That makes sense, snakes are carnivorous and it's normal that they don't like rabbits' food.

Seeing that the female servant was pleased, Hill smiled and took a spoon, handing it to her.

"The pulp inside is also edible; female envoys, please have a taste."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Nafer.

"I've already gone to the neighboring tribe to buy meat, so we can have it at noon."

Nafiel pursed his lips. "Thank you."

Actually, he could go hunting by himself.

But he was not comfortable leaving the female master here.

These giant rabbits, though seemingly gentle, are not weak.

The young orc in front of them had already reached the fourth major stage, and should not be underestimated.

While Jiang Xi was eating the fruit, Mary and Hood returned, bringing with them several old orc females.

Jiang Xi quickly stood up and nodded politely to them.

Mary helped an old woman in.

"Good day, Madam. I am Rose, the previous Madam who served the Mother Tree."

Jiang Xi nodded, "Good day."

The old woman sat down shakily on a stone covered with a straw mat, her cloudy eyes scanning her up and down.

"Since I began to serve the Mother Tree, I have sensed its resistance to the power of heaven and earth..."

She paused, then looked at Hill.

Hill raised his hand and waved it, and Jiang Xi felt that this stone house had become two separate worlds from the outside world.

Mary said, “This is my son Hill. His special ability is isolation. The secret of the Mother Tree cannot be known by the tribe, as it would cause panic.”

Jiang Xi nodded, indicating that she understood.

Hill looked at Naphel, his eyes showing hesitation.

"Excuse me, would you like to excuse yourself?"

It wasn't that he didn't want to separate him, but that he couldn't; this snake-clan beastman was far stronger than him.

Jiang Xi grabbed Nafi's hand and said quickly.

"He's my beastly husband, it's alright."

"Moreover, we passed through the Wild Fox tribe on our way and communicated with their Mother Tree. If I'm not mistaken, you have the same question."

Jiang Xi looked at the old female and said, word by word.

"The world is filled with the power of the curse. The mother tree is unable to communicate with the primal power and is gradually weakening. Once the primal power is exhausted, it will disappear and return to the world?"

The old female's cloudy eyes widened. "Female servant, the female servant knows!"

Mary's eyes widened slightly, filled with disbelief.

Jiang Xi nodded.

“I know, and I can roughly know, what the oracle of the Mother Tree is.”

The old woman, holding Mary's hand, was about to stand up and kneel down.

Jiang Xi quickly helped her up.

"You don't need to be so polite."

The old woman, with her body half-bent, still had to kneel down.

"Please, Madam, save the Giant Rabbit tribe!"

Jiang Xi tried to pull her up, but couldn't. The old woman knelt down with a "thump".

Jiang Xi felt that being forced to kneel like that was going to shorten her lifespan.

She quickly moved aside and spoke.

"Take me to see your mother tree first."

Mary readily agreed.

"Mother, get up quickly, let's go see the mother tree."

The old woman stood up shakily.

Hill waved his hand to remove the barrier, and the sounds of playfulness outside came in again.

Jiang Xi lifted her leg and stepped out, then paused.

She looked at Mary and Hood.

"I don't know, but would it be convenient for you to send someone to check out the tenth entrance to the border? If you encounter a group of sea creatures and other powerful beastmen mixed together, could you let me know? Of course, don't tell them I'm here."

Mary paused for a moment, and although she didn't know why, she nodded anyway.

Hu De immediately said.

"I'll send someone right away."

Hill said, "I'll go."

“Perfect timing. There’s a bumper harvest of red jujubes recently. I’ll take them to the border to sell some.”

After saying that, he added, "Ordinary people can't judge the race of orcs or whether they are powerful."

Mary paused for two seconds, then her gaze fell on the female envoy, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Alright, alright, Hill, you go, you go."

Meanwhile, in the distant Lion's Roar tribe.

Nakan herded the three piglets into the newly built pigpen in the tribe and explained how to feed them.

Then, he shouldered the animal skin bag, bid farewell to the crowd, and with his red snake tail swaying, swam towards the Giant Tree Forest.

He looked up at the sky and murmured to himself.

"Hopefully I can make it."
