Chapter 304 Turning the Tables

These words piqued the interest of Mu Ling and Yi Yuexi.

They are now full of enthusiasm for improving life in the cursed land.

After all, that's their home.

Home, a place that evokes a sense of belonging, makes them long to return.

Jiang Xi bid farewell to the old patriarch of the Holy Deer Clan and left with Duan Si and Nafiel, along with Cecilia.

The old clan chief did not stop her; he simply watched her leave with a smile.

After the person had gone far away, he raised his hand and waved it to activate his domain for concealment, then gave instructions to the Holy Deer Guards.

"Keep a close watch on all exits of the royal court. The female envoy must not be allowed to leave before the king wakes up."

The orcs, led by the Holy Deer Guard, hesitated to speak.

"The female beastmen are all at the fourth rank, and the three of them have already reached the late stage. They also have a pair of rank-one snake twins. Once they merge and enter the Earth rank, we will be no match for them at all."

The old clan chief stroked his beard and said.

"It's not only through force that you can keep people here. You can figure out your own way. If it comes to the point where you have no choice but to take action, I will handle the Serpent Clan."

"A forced entry into the Earth Rank is never a true Earth Rank, no matter how strong it is."

The Holy Deer Guard bowed his head in agreement.

In the distance, Cecilia's eyes flickered slightly.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Xi walking beside him.

"It won't be easy for you to leave the royal court."

Jiang Xi looked up at him, her brows furrowing slightly.

"What's the meaning?"

Cecilia glanced back.

"That old man probably won't let you leave so easily."

Jiang Xi also glanced back, but could no longer see the old patriarch of the Holy Deer Clan.

"He wants to force us to stay?"

Cecilia: "This is the royal court, the territory of the Holy Deer Clan. Isn't it easy to forcibly keep you here?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the two snake-like figures behind her.

"Your beastmen are indeed strong, but for those who have transcended the twelfth rank of Earth and Heaven, there is no difference between the third and fourth rank."

"It's a pity, though. Your beastmen improved too quickly, and their abilities are too superficial. Even if you use the Sea Pearl, you won't be able to break through to the Earth Rank in a short time."

Jiang Xi pursed her lips.

Just as she was about to say that Nafiel and Nakan were of the Serpent Clan and could combine to enter the Earth Rank, Cecilia's voice rang out again.

"The fusion of the Tier 1 Serpent Clan has a limited time, but the true Earth Tier has an infinite time."

Jiang Xi: "As long as it's enough to run away, that's fine."

Is it stupid to force a fight when you can't win?

Cecilia: "Only the weak run away."

Jiang Xi: "..."

She rolled her eyes.

"Only a fool would try to break a rock with an egg."

Cecilia: "A beastman who cannot protect his mistress is not a qualified beastman."

Jiang Xi: "..."

She frowned at him. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Cecilia's lips curved slightly, and her azure eyes looked over, reflecting her image in them.

"If you're willing to come back to the Boundless Sea with us, I'll take care of that old man for you."

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"Of course, your beastmen can come along."

Jiang Xi chuckled.

"I don't need your help!"

She knew that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

"We will leave once Haisia ​​recovers."

Cecilia: "What if Hysia re-emerges?"

Jiang Xi said irritably, "Then he's just unlucky!"

Cecilia chuckled to herself.

"It won't do you any harm to come back to the Boundless Sea with me. The Boundless Sea has both the East and West Seas, and countless sea creatures. It is much more powerful than the Giant Tree Forest."

Jiang Xi almost burst out laughing.

"Please! You are sea creatures, we are land creatures! We live perfectly well on land, why would we want to live in the sea?"

Cecilia: "If you marry a sea creature, you can breathe underwater."

Jiang Xi was truly at her wit's end.

"Not interested!"

After saying that, she walked quickly forward.

But after taking a couple of steps, she felt more and more that she hadn't performed well, so she stopped and asked a question that she also wanted to know.

"You call the old patriarch of the Holy Deer Clan 'elder,' but he's older than you?"

Cecilia's lips twitched twice, and she walked forward without saying a word.

Jiang Xi said "Oh," and then exaggeratedly opened her mouth.

"So he's younger than you!"

Nafiel and Duan Si smiled slightly, a hint of amusement in their eyes.

Cecilia was slightly annoyed. "What do you know! The Dragonfish Clan carries the blood of the Dragon Clan. If they can successfully transform into a dragon, they will have a lifespan of ten thousand years!"

"If you can enter into a marriage contract with a dragonfish beastman, you will live for ten thousand years."

Jiang Xi felt relieved to see him angry.

Finally, we won a game.

She gave a perfunctory "uh-huh" response.

"Let's go, let's hurry up and finish treating Haixia so you can go back and transform into dragons and live for thousands of years."

Forever and ever?

She had no interest in living that long. Even if she did live a long time, all her beast husbands and offspring, except for the dragons, would leave her before her, leaving her alone in the world with only memories. How painful that would be.

Jiang Xi stepped into the Sea Clan Palace.

Haicia stood by the lake and looked at her.

His fish tail transformed into legs, and the white streaks in his long hair disappeared completely, leaving him with long, light blue hair and slightly open, delicate, cicada-wing-like fin-like ears.

Jiang Xi was pleasantly surprised.

"You can stand up now?"

During this time, she continuously treated Haixia. His supernatural sea repaired very quickly, but the repair speed of his fish tail was very slow. He was unable to come out of the water for a long time, which made Jiang Xi suspect that there was a problem with her treatment.

Seeing that Haixia had successfully stood up, she felt relieved.

It seems the treatment approach is correct.

Haisia ​​lifted his leg and walked towards her very slowly.

He opened his lips, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.

Jiang Xi didn't notice and asked directly.

"Do you want to receive treatment here, or go back inside?"

Haixia pursed her lips, lowered her azure eyes, and looked at her as she asked.

"You and Camille have remarried?"

Jiang Xi was covered by the divine robes of the Tree God Tribe, so he couldn't see the aura on her body and had no way of confirming it.

Jiang Xi shook her head.

"No."

Haisia ​​was slightly taken aback. "Didn't you have your wedding ceremony today, with the floats parading through the royal court?"

This matter was too complicated to explain, and Jiang Xi didn't want to say too much, so she just gave a random answer.

"It's just to remove my status as a sinful woman, it's not a real marriage contract."

Haixia's eyes flickered slightly.

Jiang Xi looked around and spoke directly.

"Why don't we get treatment here?"

To avoid trouble.

Haisia ​​nodded.

The sea creature beastman brought over a chair, and as soon as Jiang Xi sat down, she immediately reached out to Hai Xiya, maximizing her efficiency.

Haixia subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to shake it, but Jiang Xi twisted her hand around his and placed it on his shoulder.

She closed her eyes and began the treatment.

Haisia ​​pursed her lips and closed her eyes.

Jiang Xi wasn't mistaken; the power that the Mother Tree had injected into her body to treat Camille still had a lot left, allowing her to repair three days' worth of damage in just one day.

She opened her eyes, and the smile on her face became much more genuine.

"If we just have one more day, we'll be cured!"

"You're still missing two sea pearls. Give them to me tomorrow!"

Jiang Xi spoke in a relaxed tone. The thought of leaving the royal court soon brightened her whole being, and she couldn't stop smiling.

She stretched and twisted her stiff waist from side to side.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I'll come back tomorrow. Remember to have Haizhu ready."

After saying that, she prepared to leave with Duan Si and Nafi.

But as soon as she turned around, her clothes were grabbed.

Haisia's voice came from behind.

"etc."
