Chapter 288 Cannot Escape the Palm of His Hand

Jiang Xi grabbed Lu Liufeng and left quickly, not even noticing the sea god in the lake.

After leaving the palace, she let out a long breath.

Lu Liufeng seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and his amber eyes lowered.

"Is the female master worried that Hysia will become clingy like Camus?"

Jiang Xi nodded.

She had feelings for her beastly husbands, such as Lu Liufeng, Mu Ling, Duan Si, Yi Yuexi, and Huo Lun, who had spent a long time with her and gone through thick and thin together.

But she had absolutely no desire to get involved with beastmen like the Giant Wood King, the Sea Clan Prince, and the Ancient Land Young Chieftain, who were completely unrelated to her.

The beastmen behind them were too powerful; even though she was a so-called favored female, she was still bound by constraints.

"Let's not delay Alvino any longer. Agree to his deal and start the treatment right away."

Originally, Jiang Xi planned to wait until Duan Si or Nafier broke through to the Earth Rank before considering whether to make a deal with Alvino, depending on the difficulty of the Earth Rank.

But for now, let's try to get as many benefits as possible, and then run back to the tribe with the beastmen.

After making her decision, she immediately turned around and went to find Alvino.

The palace where the ancient people lived was also on the edge of the cliff, but on the other side.

When Jiang Xi entered, Alvino was shirtless, sitting cross-legged facing the cliff.

With his wheat-colored skin and bulging muscles, the midday sun bathed him in a golden glow.

If he shaved off his long, curly hair, he would look like a hermit monk.

Jiang Xi glanced at it, then looked away and asked the other ancient beastmen.

When will he get better?

The orc looked towards the cliff, then took two steps back.

The meaning is self-evident.

Jiang Xi also looked over.

Alvino had already stood up. He casually picked up his robe and draped it loosely over his body, leaving his chest slightly open, revealing large, firm, bulging pectoral muscles that were comparable to Mu Ling's.

Jiang Xi couldn't help but mutter to herself.

You wouldn't guess there's so much underneath that big robe.

Alvino faced her scrutiny with composure, seemingly guessing why she had come.

"Have you thought it through?"

Jiang Xi hummed in agreement.

"I agree."

"If you have time now, let's get started."

Alvin laughed.

"Of course, that's why I came here."

Jiang Xi did not go inside the house, but chose to do it directly in the yard.

She reached out and touched Alvino with practiced ease.

But what she entered was not the Sea of ​​Superpowers, but a familiar space of white light.

Her eyes widened slightly. "This is... the mother tree?"

As she uttered the name, an ethereal voice echoed in her mind.

"You've come..."

Jiang Xi had already heard the voices of several mother trees. Although they were very similar, she could tell that the consciousness behind these voices was not the same.

"Could you be... the mother tree of the ancient land?"

The moment she finished speaking, a humanoid figure of light suddenly appeared in the air and slowly walked towards her.

This was the first time Jiang Xi had ever seen a mother tree in human form.

The light and shadow were so dazzling that she felt she would go blind if she looked any longer.

She closed her eyes and used the light filtering through her eyelids to sense where the other person was.

The other person stood in front of her, and she felt her exposed skin being gently touched by a cool touch.

Then, the voice rang out again, carrying a faint hint of mockery.

"As expected, Regina is still a coward."

Jiang Xi raised her hand, wanting to touch her, but she didn't touch anything.

She could sense that the other person had taken a step back.

She asked with her eyes closed, "You know Regina? You know me? Then who are you?"

The voice sighed.

"You've forgotten me again, which really saddens me."

Before Jiang Xi could answer, the voice rang out again.

"There's no time left."

"Alvin is a gift I give you. Enjoy it; it will give you strength..."

After she finished speaking, the light disappeared, and Jiang Xi appeared in the surging sea of ​​supernatural powers.

But this time, the sea of ​​supernatural powers was covered with a layer of luminous green light as it rushed towards her.

Jiang Xi was tackled to the ground, and countless emerald green lights surged into her body, while the waves in her sea of ​​supernatural power became even more turbulent.

As she absorbed the light into her body, she saw that the crevices of the Sea of ​​Supernatural Powers were covered with glowing green vines.

The vines of the mother tree.

Just as Jiang Xi absorbed the green light, the glowing vines on the crack gradually disappeared, and her supernatural power poured out.

Alvino also coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The combing stopped abruptly, Alvino fell backward, and Jiang Xi also staggered back a few steps.

Lu Liufeng quickly embraced the female master.

"Mistress, are you alright?"

The ancient beastmen were terrified and rushed forward to help the fallen Alvino.

"Young Clan Leader!"

"Young clan leader, what's wrong with you?!"

The ancient beastmen swarmed around Jiang Xi and Lu Liufeng, their expressions hostile.

"What have you done to our young clan leader!"

Jiang Xi leaned against Lu Liufeng's chest, feeling dizzy.

She wasn't stunned by the shock; rather, she felt her supernatural power growing, reaching the critical point for a breakthrough, yet she couldn't break through that barrier.

This made her feel like she was about to explode.

She needs to vent.

Jiang Xi grabbed Lu Liufeng's collar, closed her eyes, and tried to speak.

"Go back, go back."

Upon hearing this, Lu Liufeng spread his wings and, ignoring the ancient beastmen's obstruction, carried the female master into the sky and flew towards their palace.

The ancient orcs were about to give chase when Alvino's hoarse voice rang out.

"stop."

The beastmen quickly turned around.

"Young Clan Leader!"

"Young clan leader, how are you?!"

Alvino slowly sat up with the help of the orc.

He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, looked up at the figure that had disappeared into the sky, and forced a ugly smile.

"So, the oracle of the Mother Tree has never changed."

The ancient beastmen looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Young clan leader, should we return to the ancient land now, or what should we do?"

Alvin lowered his eyes and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Ancient land?"

“The mother tree has already given us to her.”

"One of the orcs couldn't help but say."

"How could that be? When the young clan leader broke off the marriage contract and returned to the ancient land, the mother tree did not punish you for it, and even suppressed the backlash for you."

"I believe that when we return this time, the Mother Tree will surely bless the young clan leader."

Alvino shook his head as he felt the collapse of his inner sea of ​​supernatural power and the loss of the Mother Tree's power.

"No more."

"The Mother Tree left a divine message within me. If I disobey it again, I will return to the world."

O supreme Mother Tree.

Who exactly is she that made you send me to her once, and then send me a second time?

Is he destined to never escape Jiang Xi's grasp for the rest of his life? Is he destined to be her beastly husband?
