Chapter 287 Why Cling to the Past

Jiang Xi ignored him and sat down to eat brunch.

Hollen was missing from the table, but for some reason, she felt like many people were missing.

However, it's one thing that Hysia didn't come, but it's another that Camus didn't come either, which is a bit out of character for him.

She asked Lu Liufeng casually.

"Did Haisia ​​come this morning?"

Lu Liufeng nodded, "The female master is still sleeping, so he went back first."

After saying that, he added, "By the way, many beastmen from the royal court have sent gifts, hoping to pay their respects to the Queen. I wonder if the Queen would like to see them. If not, I will return all the gifts."

Jiang Xi frowned slightly, caught in a dilemma.

She was quite eager to meet these beastmen.

It wasn't for these gifts and items, but to increase trade cooperation with the Lion's Roar tribe.

But then she hesitated, remembering that the Giantwood Forest was Camille's territory.

She has already reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Riley. If she were to go further and recruit people from the Giantwood Forest to the Lionroar Tribe to conduct trade, she would probably have to consult with the Royal Court first.

After all, even if this doesn't count as trade between countries, the Cursed Lands and the Giant Tree Forest should be considered trade between provinces.

It's better to talk to the officials first and get a heads-up about some things.

Thinking of this, she looked at Lu Liufeng.

"Let's leave it for now. I'll go and see what he thinks when I treat the Giant Tree King this afternoon."

Lu Liufeng hummed in agreement and broke off half an ear of corn for her.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Xi didn't wait for Hai Xiya to come over; she went to find him herself.

The palace where the sea creatures lived wasn't far from her, but there was a small lake inside.

Guided by the sea creatures, Jiang Xi entered and saw a black tail emerge from the water, followed by the sea goddess Cecilia rising from the surface.

His black, wet hair cascaded down his shoulders, clinging to his bare, strong muscles, glistening with water droplets.

Jiang Xi quickly looked away, pretending not to have seen it.

Damn it, the sea creatures really do roam freely, big and small.

She quickly walked away with the sea creature beastman.

The palaces used for receiving guests in the royal court were all built in similar ways, with a courtyard in the middle and stone palaces surrounding it.

When Jiang Xi reached the house where Hai Xiya lived, she could still hear the sound of water behind her.

The orc stood outside the door and called in.

"Your Highness, the female messenger has arrived."

Haisia's voice came from inside.

"Come in."

The palace doors were pushed open.

The first thing they saw was a very large pool. Haisia ​​was lying in the floating water. When she saw them come in, she slightly propped herself up and looked over.

Her long, light blue hair, interspersed with white, cascaded down her shoulders. Her fish-fin ears were dreamily spread open, and light blue fish scales, fine and delicate, cascaded down her slender neck, covering her pale skin. They shimmered with the changing light and shadow, and her blue fish tail swayed gently on the water, creating an unreal effect.

Jiang Xi paused for a moment, then pulled her foot back from the step.

She asked somewhat awkwardly, "Is it inconvenient to come in now?"

Haisia ​​gently shook her head.

"Please come in."

This time, Jiang Xi was accompanied by Lu Liufeng. Seeing that the female master hesitated, he spoke directly.

"This is the half-orc form of the sea race, not much different from Duansnafiel and the others."

Jiang Xi pursed her lips, her face feeling a little hot.

That makes a huge difference.

She lifted her leg and stepped back in, but Haisia ​​didn't come out of the water. He looked at her apologetically.

"I'll probably have to stay in the water for a while to repair my lower body..."

Jiang Xi waved her hand.

"It's alright, this way you'll recover faster and be able to leave the Giant Tree Forest sooner."

She can also return to the Lion's Roar tribe sooner.

Haisia's blue eyelashes drooped, concealing the emotions in his narrow eyes.

When the warm, soft hand touched his shoulder, his body trembled slightly.

Jiang Xi thought she had touched the scales he was repairing, so she quickly withdrew her hand.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, did I hurt you?"

Haisia ​​pursed her lips and shook her head.

"No."

Jiang Xi scratched her head, confused, and prepared to begin the treatment directly.

But then, Haisia's voice rang out again.

"You, you've really changed a lot."

Jiang Xi gave an awkward laugh.

People always change.

"I'm not going to talk about it anymore, I need to get treatment."

She didn't want to get involved with him in any other way.

One troublesome creature like the Giant Tree King is enough to give you a headache.

Jiang Xi closed her eyes and began the treatment.

This time, she intensified her treatment efforts in hopes of ending the illness as soon as possible.

As she increased her strength, the scales on Haisia's upper body visibly decreased significantly, and the white in his long, light blue hair, which was mixed with white, also faded somewhat, becoming much shinier.

Jiang Xi nodded in satisfaction, then looked at David.

"The third pearl."

David twitched the corner of his mouth.

"You just took one yesterday."

Jiang Xi: "The treatment was so effective today. If it continues like this every day, it might be cured in five or six days."

David remained silent.

Haisia: "David, go get the sea pearl."

Jiang Xi smiled, her dark eyes crinkling.

"Thank you very much."

Who should use this one?

Let Duan Si try to enter the Earth Rank.

David went out to get the sea pearl, feeling dejected.

Jiang Xi felt it was inconvenient to wait here and wanted to go out, but then she thought of the sea monsters swimming freely in the lake outside, so she could only continue to sit here idly.

The sea creature orc brought over juice and some snacks.

Just as Jiang Xi was about to take a sip, she suddenly heard Hai Xiya ask her a question.

"Are you doing well in the Lion's Roar tribe?"

Jiang Xi held the cup, unsure whether to drink it or put it down, and then casually said something.

"fine."

She took a sip of juice and, in an attempt to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, brought the glass to Lu Liufeng's lips.

"Try it, it tastes good."

Lu Liufeng glanced at Haixia, took a sip from the female master's hand, and then brought it back to her lips.

"The female master drinks."

Haisia ​​watched the two of them being so sweet, and felt a strange emptiness in her heart.

He could tell that she had completely forgotten him and no longer liked him at all.

He added, "No wonder you didn't recognize me that day."

Jiang Xi didn't want to talk to him much in the first place, so she changed the subject away from Lu Liufeng.

But the sea prince seemed oblivious to her meaning and kept talking on and on.

"What's past is past, don't dwell on it."

She got up, pulled Lu Liufeng up as well, and made up a lame excuse.

"I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do. Haizhu, please have someone deliver them directly to us. We'll be leaving now."

After saying that, she eagerly pulled Lu Liufeng away.

Haisia's voice came from behind.

"I'll be waiting for you to come tomorrow."

Jiang Xi cried out "Ah ah" twice, grabbed Lu Liufeng, and quickened her pace as if a fierce tiger was chasing her.

Haisia ​​loosened her elbows, which were supporting her body, and sank herself completely into the pool.

Her blue hair flowed like seaweed, her skin was as white as snow, and her fish scales reflected a shimmering light through the clear pool water.

He stared blankly at the rooftop through the thin layer of water in his azure eyes.

But what came to his mind was Jiang Xi's last words before she left.

"What's past is past..."

David poked his head out from above the pool.

"Your Highness, has the female attendant left?"

Haisia ​​suddenly sat up in the water, her long, light blue hair sticking wetly to her shoulders and back, and glistening water droplets rolling down her pale skin.

His azure eyes suddenly burst forth with intense light, making his pale, sickly face regain its vitality and color.

“David, she’s right.”

Hysia looked up at David and murmured repeatedly.

“David, she’s right.”

"What's past is past, why should I dwell on it..."
