Chapter 301 Rescuing People Through Backdoors

Orcs and females alike rushed to chase after the float.

This news spread like wildfire throughout the entire royal court.

Everyone was worried about this and rushed to the float to offer their blessings, hoping that the female attendant would not leave the king because of this.

"Queen, you will always be the Queen of the Giant Tree Forest!"

"My lady! The king truly loves you, please don't abandon him!"

"Wang can definitely be cured! You two will definitely be able to get married smoothly!"

"..."

Jiang Xi sat on the float, her face cold, not wanting to pay any attention to Camus.

But when she heard those heart-wrenching roars and screams, she couldn't help but look confused.

She glanced at Camus out of the corner of her eye.

Camus's lips curled slightly, his face displaying a perfectly standard smile, his arrogance concealed, as if he were the most approachable of all the giant wood kings.

Some orcs noticed the female peeking at the king out of the corner of her eye, and they started making a fuss.

"Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"

In an instant, the orcs and females on both sides joined in the commotion.

"Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"

Camus turned his head to look at her, but Jiang Xi quickly turned her head away to avoid his gaze.

Camille's blue eyes showed a hint of melancholy, then she smiled and looked away, raising her hand to greet the orcs and females on both sides.

The females instantly clutched their chests in distress and screamed loudly.

"Please marry me! I wish to marry you! My noble king—"

Her beastly husband quickly covered her mouth.

"My lady! The maid is already unhappy! This will only make her dislike the king even more!"

The female made two "mmm" sounds, pried his hands off, and looked at the departing float with a pained expression.

"But the female servant doesn't seem to like the king at all. The king deserves the female's favor!"

"..."

The royal court was in an uproar all day.

Even after the float entered the royal court, and the orcs and females could no longer see it, the topic of the king and the female servants continued to circulate in the streets and alleys of the royal court, and for a long time afterward, countless versions of it appeared.

The first thing everyone says when they meet is, "Did you know? The King and the Female Envoy," and so on...

When these conflicting messages reached the Great Tree Inn, Dobin was frantically gathering a group of young orcs, preparing to return to the tribe to rescue Riley.

Upon hearing this news, the wings on his back fluttered into a blur, and he anxiously circled around the eight or nine boys.

"What should I do? What should I do?!"

"Now that the female envoy has married the king, her interest is definitely focused on him. There's no way she'll marry Riley anytime soon!"

Ma Nan squatted on the wooden stake, resting his chin on his hand.

"Let's put aside what happens next. Right now, isn't the most important thing to rescue Riley?"

Dobin exclaimed, "Oh dear!"

"Yes, yes! Riley is still locked up in the tribe! If this continues, he'll be given to the Holy Mother!"

A young orc scratched his head, looking utterly puzzled.

"Isn't a Holy Female better than a Holy Female? We might not see a Holy Female in our Giant Tree Forest for hundreds of years. If Riley could marry a Holy Female, what an honor that would be."

Dobin flew over and stomped hard on his hair with his six legs.

"What do you know! You newly transformed, single beastman! You have no idea how important it is to marry the right female!"

"Although the female messenger is only a favored female and not as good as the Holy Mother, she is located in the neighboring Cursed Land, and her beast husbands are all so powerful. Now she has married the King. If Riley could marry the female messenger, wouldn't that be a million times better than marrying the Holy Mother who is far away in the Holy City!"

The young beastmen still didn't understand.

"Very complicated."

Manan glanced at Dobin.

"You're not only single, but you haven't even taken human form yet. You talk like you know everything."

Dobin stands with his six legs on his hips.

"Can you guys transform a little bit before me? I can transform by next year at the latest!"

"There's no point in explaining this to you orcs who don't care about the shop! Our Tree God Tribe is rooted in the Giant Tree Forest. Even if the Holy City offers immense benefits, it's still better to latch onto the Royal Court's coattails!"

When he said that, the young beastmen understood.

They suddenly realized.

"That seems to make some sense."

Ma Nan scratched his short blue hair, looking troubled.

“It’s easy to say, but what are we supposed to do? You’re smart, so give us a way. None of us have even reached the third rank. Going back to the tribe won’t help us at all. If Riley can’t leave, we certainly can’t.”

Dobin chuckled.

"Your mother is an old woman~"

"Your mother is also an old woman~"

"Your father beast is the strongest in the tribe~"

Do you even understand what it means to get in through connections?

The boys shook their heads.

Dobin, hands on hips, said, "Bringing you stupid orcs to Wangtingguang to play around, do nothing, and still get shell coins is just using connections!"

The young beastmen: "..."

Ma Nan: "Hehe, as if you're not one of them."

Wang Ting.

As soon as the float returned and was out of sight of the orcs and females, Jiang Xi stopped acting and turned her back to Camus.

But seeing Lu Liufeng's still calm and gentle face, she became somewhat angry.

Since he knew, how could he not tell me and let me and the Giant Tree King parade through the flower streets in the form of a wedding, receiving blessings from the orcs and females of the Giant Tree Forest?

Their blessings and expectations were so fervent, yet she was destined to disappoint them.

The Giant Tree Forest and the Cursed Land are so close that they are bound to intersect. Therefore, if she wants to cooperate amicably, she cannot deny this non-existent identity, even if she doesn't want to.

Jiang Xi was caught in a dilemma.

But now that she's going to the Holy Land, she can't possibly tell Lu Liufeng about this here.

It's better to discuss family matters behind closed doors; she's not used to talking too much about her and her beastly husbands in front of outsiders.

Seeing that she was ignoring him, Camus spoke calmly.

"Didn't this mean the deal wasn't successfully concluded?"

Jiang Xi glared at him.

"Does that mean we can just pretend it never happened?!"

Camus smiled.

"Of course not."

“Even if our marriage contract didn’t come to fruition, the news has already been announced to the entire Giant Tree Forest. From now on, you will be the Queen of the Royal Court, not the Sinful Queen of the Cursed Land.”

Jiang Xi said coldly, "I will return to the Cursed Land soon."

Camille: "Wherever you are, you are the most noble Queen of the Giantwood Forest. Even the Holy Queen of the Holy City Temple cannot command you."

Jiang Xi pursed her lips.

“Even if I weren’t in that position, she couldn’t order me around.”

Camus: "She is the Holy Mother."

Jiang Xi: "So what?"

Camus: "The Holy Maiden will pray to the Mother Tree to strip you of your holy feminine identity."

Jiang Xi: "Funny!"

"Who cares!"

Camille's intentions were good; she wanted to remove Camille's status as a sinful woman and prevent her from being controlled by the Holy Mother.

But Jiang Xi didn't like his way of doing things at all.

He never asked her if she needed anything, never respected her opinions, and always did things his own way, never giving her a chance to refuse.
