Chapter 257 Shameless Sea Clan

Jiang Xi inwardly cried out in alarm.

How can she change this outcome?

Although she didn't know what Duan Si's atavism process was like, the invasion of the White-bellied Snake Clan and the tragic deaths of his parents and clansmen would definitely cause him to have a mental breakdown.

Jiang Xi quickly lay down, closed her eyes, and fell asleep again.

But no matter how much she tried to clear her mind, she couldn't fall asleep.

She had no choice but to get up and prepare to have someone inquire whether there were any sleep aids similar to sleeping pills.

But as soon as she opened the door, with her hair uncombed and face unwashed, she was met face-to-face with a group of orcs in the courtyard.

Who else could be the leader but Haizu?

Haisia, sitting in a wheelchair with her back to her, faces the morning sea of ​​clouds.

As soon as Jiang Xi appeared, all the orcs turned their gazes toward her.

She subconsciously raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth; thankfully, there was no drool.

Lu Liufeng walked over.

"The mistress is awake. Breakfast is ready. Please go and wash up first."

Jiang Xi walked towards the washroom, gesturing towards the yard with her eyes.

"What happened?"

Lu Liufeng pursed his lips.

“Haizu brought generous gifts early this morning, saying that he wanted to marry Haixia into the family.”

Jiang Xi: "You didn't refuse?"

Lu Liufeng: "I refused, but Haizu won't leave and insists on seeing you."

Jiang Xi snorted.

"I hate these sea creatures who can't understand human language the most."

Her words naturally reached the ears of the beastmen in the courtyard.

Yi Yuexi looked at Hai Zu and found that the other party's expression had not changed at all, and his palm was stroking the large seashell box on the table.

Mu Ling snorted coldly and turned to find the female master.

Jiang Xi quickly finished washing up.

Since they would be staying for a while, Lu Liufeng and Wang Ting asked for ingredients and pots and pans to cook for themselves.

After all, the royal court's food preparation methods were too simple, either roasting or boiling, and the seasonings were not very rich, which did not suit the female master's taste.

A large, long wooden table was placed in the courtyard, and the animal handlers brought out the food one by one and placed it on the table.

In an instant, the aroma of food filled the morning mist.

Beyond the courtyard lies a cliff, below which rises a sea of ​​clouds, from which sunlight radiates outwards, creating a breathtakingly beautiful, dreamlike scene.

As Haisia ​​sat in his wheelchair, watching the sunlight break through the sea of ​​clouds and rise, his complex emotions gradually calmed down.

If she really is Jiang Xi, he shouldn't have come.

But when Haizu ordered someone to bring him here, he fell silent.

He faced the sea of ​​clouds at dawn, as if in this way he could escape all of this.

Jiang Xi sat down at the dining table and saw Hai Zu standing stiffly beside it. She said something without thinking.

"You must have eaten by now, right? Why don't you go inside and sit for a while? We can talk about it after we finish eating."

What's the point of standing in front of someone's table and staring at them while they eat?

Jiang Xi thought that after she said that, Hai Zu would at least take people to wait in another place, or at the very least go to the other side of the huge courtyard, instead of standing in front of the dining table.

But Haizu looked at the abundant food on the table and said...

"Perfect timing, we haven't eaten yet either."

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Xi and the others to reply, he turned his head to look at David.

“David, we’re bringing Haisia ​​over here. She’ll eventually marry into the family, so it’s good for her to get used to it beforehand.”

Jiang Xi remained silent.

"Um, Haizu, please make this clear, this place isn't one you can just marry into whenever you want."

"Let me be frank, I will not marry Haisia."

“He finally got away from me, and I think he wouldn’t want to marry me again. Letting each other go is better for everyone.”

Haizu touched his face.

"I'm old? Dragonfish have long lifespans. At a thousand years old, I'm just a young adult."

Jiang Xi: "..."

Did you even listen to what she was saying?

At this moment, David pushed Haisia ​​to the dining table, and then several sea beastmen came forward, carrying several bowls of lively fish and shrimp, and placed them on the table.

Lu Liufeng frowned and separated the cooked food he had made from the several bowls of raw fish and shrimp.

“The female master does not eat raw food. If you want to eat these, take them away.”

He discovered early on that when frying steak, the female master couldn't eat it rare or medium-rare; it had to be thoroughly cooked.

Jiang Xi does not eat raw food.

However, looking at the fresh prawns in front of her, she thought she could ask Wang Ting for some another day. She hadn't had boiled prawns in a long time, and if she had lemons, she could make lemon dipping sauce.

She thought this to herself, but continued to politely ask the guest to leave.

"Look, we can't even eat the same things, it's really not a good match."

Lu Liufeng broke off half an ear of corn for the female master, poured her a cup of rich soy milk, and served her a bowl of stewed beef until it was tender.

Mu Ling and the others also held bowls, each filled with a large bowl of beef, and each had a large ear of corn.

Haizu smiled as he watched their harmonious life.

"It's alright. The sea creatures will supply fresh fish and shrimp every day. You don't need to worry about food in Haixia."

Just as Jiang Xi was about to speak, Hai Zu spoke again.

"Let's not say no for now. Why don't we take a look at the dowry of our sea tribe?"

As he spoke, he pushed the large seashell forward and opened it.

In an instant, the tabletop was filled with dazzling light, and blinding rays of light shone from the seashell.

Jiang Xi closed her eyes briefly, then opened them amidst Mu Ling's exclamation.

"Haizhu!"

Jiang Xi looked at the large seashell, inside which were five sea pearls.

Sea pearls are energy carriers nurtured on the seabed. It may take hundreds of years for one to be formed, but one pearl can elevate the realm of a sea creature to a higher level.

Jiang Xi first heard about this thing when it was during the Ice Age.

She seemed to be deep in thought.

Hai Zu continued, "Although the Sea Pearl's enhancement to land-dwelling orcs is not as great as that to sea-dwelling orcs, it can still raise them by at least one or two minor levels. The further they progress, the more difficult it becomes for orcs to improve their abilities. The Sea Pearl can help them break through bottlenecks and enhance their abilities."

"This is only part of the dowry. I've heard that the royal court belongs to the Lion's Roar tribe of the Cursed Land..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Xi interrupted him.

"No need to say anything more."

“I told you, I will not marry Haisia.”

She was still attracted to Haizhu; nothing was more important than improving the beastmen's superpowers.

Especially Nafiel and Nakan.

“But it’s not like we can’t make a deal. I don’t want anything else, no marriage contract. I can try to treat Haixia. If the treatment is effective, I want eight Haizhu.”

Hai Zu lowered his brow slightly. "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that I can directly analyze the situation. If I'm not mistaken, his power sea must have shattered, which is why he lost his life. You must have used some method to slow down the time it took for his power sea to shatter, which is why he's still sitting here."

Except for Lu Liufeng, all the beastmen at the dinner table looked towards Hai Xiya.

The Sea of ​​Superpowers is shattered?

Is this the backlash after the dissolution of the marriage contract?

The crowd's supernatural abilities instantly turned cold, and they all shivered.
