Chapter 254 Giant Wood King

A corner of the royal court, a palace near the cliff.

Jiang Xi and her entourage were led into this hall by Yang.

"Please rest here, Your Excellency and all of you. The King will summon you privately later."

"It's not convenient to speak in front of the sea people and the people of the ancient lands."

Jiang Xi looked at him and confirmed.

"They've already sent orcs skilled in construction to the Lion's Roar tribe?"

Yang nodded. "We sent them out the day you entered the royal court."

"This is the Royal Court's sincerity. We hope you won't be angry because of Nicola's words. She was merely concerned about the King, and..."

He paused, then winked mischievously.

"She was a little unhappy that Layton didn't come back."

Jiang Xi instantly sensed the gossip in the story.

But she needs to speed things up.

"Besides the orcs who built it, what about the orcs who weave, cultivate, and brew it? Have they been sent out?"

Yang smiled politely.

"They are still recruiting, but I expect they will be able to set off soon."

Yang reiterated: "The royal court is full of sincerity towards the female envoy's visit."

Speaking is an art.

Yang's words eased the atmosphere considerably.

At this moment, Lu Liufeng suddenly spoke.

"We're going to rest now, so we won't see you off."

As he said this, he looked at Riley and the large bee on his shoulder.

Riley shrugged.

"Okay, I'll come again tomorrow."

Dobin exclaimed "Huh?" and looked at him in disbelief.

"Riley! Aren't you staying here? Everyone else has checked in, so you should stay too. I'll take care of things at the hotel."

Riley ignored him and looked at the female messenger.

"See you tomorrow."

After saying that, Riley put his arm around Yang's shoulder and took him away with him.

Yang quickly turned around and shouted behind him.

"The king will be here soon!"

His voice lingered in the air.

Jiang Xi's hand was tugged, and Lu Liufeng's expression became somewhat serious.

"Quickly, Queen, go and check on Nafiel and Nakan."

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment before she realized that they were no longer beside her.

Mu Ling appeared, picked up the female master, and instantly appeared in another room.

Inside the house, Nafiel and Nakan had separated. The two had transformed into their full serpent forms and were lying on the ground, their tails intertwined, struggling as they lay there.

Nafiel's silvery-white scales shimmered with red light, while Nakan's red scales shimmered with silvery-white light.

Mu Ling, holding the female master, appeared between the two.

Jiang Xi reached out and placed her hands on the tails of two snakes, one cold and one hot, closed her eyes, and released her healing power.

It's all messed up.

It's all in chaos.

Nafiel's sea of ​​supernatural powers collided with Nakan's supernatural powers.

Nakan's sea of ​​supernatural powers collided with Nafiel's supernatural powers.

Jiang Xi followed her instincts and separated the individual superpowers, sending them back to their original sea of ​​superpowers.

Nafiel and Nakan gradually stopped struggling and slowly transformed into snake-beast forms with human heads and snake bodies.

Even so, there were a few strands of red in Nafiel's snow-white hair, and a few strands of white in Nakan's red hair.

The two lay prone on the ground, sweat pouring from their handsome faces, their muscles glistening with sweat as they breathed heavily.

Nafi opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice.

"The first time we combined, we didn't control the timing well, but we learned from that experience afterward."

What he didn't say was that if the fusion exceeds the limit time, it might become impossible to separate them again.

Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the two had calmed down.

"It's good that you're alright."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Ling's exclamation suddenly rang out.

"Nakan! How can you have the female master's aura on you?!"

His words made Lu Liufeng and Yi Yuexi both look at him.

Yi Yue smiled, her breath calming down.

"It's only been a few days since I last saw her, and the female master has already taken in another beast husband!"

Lu Liufeng pursed his lips and said calmly, "Nakan will marry into the family sooner or later, it's all the same."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be deep in thought again.

"Neither of your supernatural abilities have improved. Could it be that Nakan entered into a marriage contract with the female master yesterday? Is your union due to the bond of the marriage contract?"

Yi Yuexi was stunned.

Jiang Xi also looked at Nafiel and Nakan.

Nafel nodded.

"A lot has happened recently..."

In a few words, he recounted a series of events, including the female master's loss of her major rank after her powers were extracted.

However, when the marriage contract was withdrawn, Nakan instantly returned to his original state.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be due to the female master's marriage contract."

"We've only barely made it to the Earth Rank; it's not stable yet. If my or Nakan's abilities advance further, we should be able to stabilize at the Earth Rank."

Upon hearing this, Yi Yuexi remained silent.

At that moment, Hollen walked in from outside.

"A messenger from the royal court said that the Giant Tree King requests the Queen to come over."

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"But the messenger said that only the female master is allowed to bring one beastman, otherwise Nafiel..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hollen saw Nafiel and Nakan disintegrate.

In that case...

His gaze swept between Lu Liufeng and Mu Ling.

If it were before, he would definitely have supported Mu Ling.

But after Mu Ling's displacement was restricted, he became somewhat uncertain.

Lu Liufeng said, "Anyone can go. The sea tribes and the orcs of the ancient lands are still there, so the royal court can't pull any tricks."

Without the sea creatures and the ancient lands, he might have been much more wary.

But the royal court was anxious, as were the sea tribes and the ancient lands.

Jiang Xi glanced at the group of beastmen.

"Then let Lu Liufeng come with me."

Lu Liufeng has many ideas and is also good at collecting useful information.

Mu Ling...

Mu Ling decided against it.

When the two return, everyone will ask them questions, and they will both claim to know nothing.

No one had any objections to this.

The orc who came to invite Jiang Xi this time was the green-haired orc who had previously led the way at the entrance of the royal court.

The orc placed one hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and paid his respects.

“Greetings to the female messenger, who may call me Soye.”

Jiang Xi nodded.

"Lead the way."

She wanted to see what the Giant Wood King was really up to.

Sawyer led her and Lu Liufeng towards the center of the Giant Tree Royal Court.

At the center is a building that looks somewhat like a pyramid, but its top is flat, not pointed.

Sawyer led them to the top of the pyramid. At the top, there was a passage leading down. Just as they were about to descend, Sawyer paused and turned to look at Jiang Xi.

"You brought two beastmen with you?"

Jiang Xi's eyes flickered slightly.

Just before Sawyer could speak, she sensed a familiar force sweeping over her.

She pulled up her sleeve, revealing the black snake that had coiled around her forearm.

Duan Si has grown a lot, and he should wake up soon.

Sawyer smiled slightly.

"This is the sacred ground of the royal court. If any orcs who enter do not meet the requirements, they may be punished by the gods."

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"But the mother tree said, since he is your beast husband, please come in."

Mother tree?

Jiang Xi and Lu Liufeng exchanged a glance and clenched each other's hands.

Go down the internal stairs and turn into a slightly flatter internal passage. The passage winds downwards, and faintly glowing vines climb the stone walls of the passage.

Looking at these vines, Jiang Xi knew that these were the branches of the mother tree.

As expected of the center of the Giant Tree Forest, even the mother tree is so powerful. The vines climbing the wall conveyed an aura of abundant vitality to Jiang Xi.

Could it be... that the mother tree of the royal court can defy the power of the curse and communicate with the source?

Sawyer led her and Lu Liufeng through a maze of turns, when suddenly a gust of wind came from the end of the passage, and the light shone brightly.

Jiang Xi knew they had arrived.

Sawyer stopped and stood sideways in the passageway, speaking.

"I can only go this far. Please go down the rest of the way by yourself, my lady. The king is waiting for you inside."

He paused, then looked at Lu Liufeng.

"If you want to go down, you can go down, but if you can't withstand the power of the mother tree, don't blame me for not warning you."

Lu Liufeng frowned slightly and nodded.

"I understand, thank you."

He gripped the female master's hand tightly, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Jiang Xi lifted her leg and stepped out of the passage.

In an instant, a bright green light enveloped her, so dazzling that she instinctively closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, the sight there shocked her so much that she was speechless.

The hollowed-out mountainside, obscuring the chasm above, is covered with glowing vines. These vines resemble the mother tree of the Giant Rabbit tribe, but are far, far larger.

The mother tree of the Giant Rabbit tribe... could it have branched off from the royal court?

A muffled groan came from beside her. Jiang Xi turned her head to look and saw that Lu Liufeng's face was pale and there was a hint of blood in the corner of his lips.

Her expression changed, and she quickly channeled her healing power into him.

Just then, a glowing vine descended from the sky and landed in front of them.

The vine first gently touched Lu Liufeng's brow, then led him forward as if guiding him.

Jiang Xi quickly asked, "Lu Liufeng, how are you feeling?"

Lu Liufeng nodded.

"Much better."

The two continued walking forward in the glowing underground until they reached a place covered with a bunch of glowing vines.

The glowing vines swayed and slowly loosened.

As the thing wrapped in vines was revealed, a figure wearing a golden flower crown walked out from the side.

Jiang Xi stood there, stunned.

She looked at the golden figure, then her gaze shifted slightly and landed on the golden figure wrapped in vines...

Amidst the glowing vines lay a handsome young man with his eyes tightly closed. He had long, platinum-gold hair, wore a golden robe, and had pale, bloodless lips. His cold, white skin was like ice, devoid of any life...

Two... Giant Tree Kings.
