Chapter 322 You're back so quickly

When Lu Liufeng saw Mu Ling appear, he quickly stuffed the female master into his arms.

"Take the female to the Chunlai tribe first, we'll be there soon."

Mu Ling was overjoyed. He hugged the female master, threw down the roasted berries in his hand, and disappeared from the spot.

Jiang Xi sighed.

But the sound was quickly buried in the bizarre and fantastical light, and her attention was drawn to the images she was seeing.

Waves, castles, and towering ships bobbing with the waves as they dock in the harbor. On the shimmering sea, fish leap out, their phosphorescence shimmering. Young merfolk race members leap out one after another, causing the young ladies pausing on the coastal stone path to cover their mouths and giggle...

The scene before my eyes flashed, and the sunlight, waves, castle, and young orc ladies all disappeared, replaced by stone houses with burning firewood.

Jiang Xi froze, her mind still a little blank.

She heard Mu Ling's voice.

"Quickly boil some hot water! The mistress is soaked."

A huge cloth was draped over, wrapping Jiang Xi up and rubbing her.

Jiang Xi snapped out of her daze, her pale face, slapped by the rain, peeking out from under the towel. She let Mu Ling dry her hair and looked up at him.

"Mu Ling, did you see anything just now?"

Mu Ling paused, a look of confusion on her face.

"What?"

Jiang Xi described what she had seen.

Mu Ling shook her head. "I didn't see anything."

Jiang Xi thought for a moment and then said, "Take me to another location and see."

Mu Ling's eyes widened.

"Now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce wind howled past outside, making a series of loud crashing noises.

Someone shouted.

"It's raining! It's raining!"

Jiang Xi was silent for two seconds, but still spoke.

"Let's give it a try. What if this scene is actually caused by the rain?"

Mu Ling hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

But as soon as he picked up the female and tried to leave, he found that his movement was restricted, and he shouted outside.

"You've imprisoned me again! Are you crazy?!" Old Sea Fish!

Of course, there were some things he only dared to curse in his heart, and dared not actually say them out loud.

Jiang Xi turned her head to look outside, but all she could see were withered branches and leaves and flying sand and stones in the howling wind; she couldn't see anything else.

Mu Ling snorted coldly.

"Hai Zu has sealed off the space around here, so I can't teleport out."

Jiang Xi: "..."

Where are the others?

Mu Ling gritted her teeth: "I don't know, probably hiding in some dark corner!"

All he could say was, "The female master should take a hot bath first to warm herself up."

Jiang Xi glanced at the howling wind and the pattering raindrops outside and nodded.

"Alright."

It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer.

The Chunlai tribe had already prepared houses for their residents, located right by the Chunlai River.

Jiang Xi took a nice, relaxing hot bath.

As she was taking a shower, a torrential downpour began, pattering loudly outside. A cold wind, carrying raindrops, blew in through the cracks in the doors and windows, causing her to shrink further into the water.

Mu Ling came in carrying a bucket of hot water, added some hot water to the water, then quickly stripped naked, jumped into the water, squeezed the female master into his arms, and chuckled twice.

Jiang Xi scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on his face.

Mu Ling grinned and grabbed the female master's hand, splashing several more handfuls of water onto his face.

“My lady, it’s a rainy day, perfect for staying indoors and not going anywhere.”

Jiang Xi knew perfectly well what he was thinking.

She stuck out a finger and poked his forehead.

"Can't you think of something else?"

Mu Ling clung to the female master, all sticky and affectionate.

"Of course, I only have the female master on my mind."

"Besides the female master, there's nothing else..."

"Hmm..."

Amidst the torrential rain, the room was filled with a warm, misty atmosphere.

In the Spring Lai River, phosphorescence shimmered as the sea creatures swam in the water, tilting their heads back to feel the raindrops enveloping their bodies.

The black-tailed mermaid sank to the bottom of the water, her eyes closed as if she were asleep.

Haixia stepped ashore, his light blue fishtail transforming into legs. He casually wrapped a piece of cloth around his waist and walked towards the stone house.

But after taking only a couple of steps, he stopped and turned his head to look at the house not far away next door.

The doors and windows of the house were tightly closed, and he couldn't see anything, but the soft, sobbing sounds drifted into his ears through the wind and rain.

Rain lashed against his face, his long, wet, light blue hair clung to his back, and his bare skin, washed by the rain, was as white as jade.

He raised his hand to wipe the rain off his face, his blue eyelashes trembled, and finally turned and went back to his room next door.

Mu Ling was living like a beast god in the Chunlai tribe, while the beastmen who were traveling in the heavy rain were in a terrible state.

Many orcs transformed into their animal forms and ran in the rain. The rain soaked their fur, which clung to their bodies, and they had to shake it off from time to time to get rid of the rainwater that had seeped into their fur.

Yi Yuexi remained in her orc form and did not transform into her beast form.

However, in order to keep up with everyone else, he had to rely on his special abilities.

Ice-blue snowflakes filled the sky.

The thought of the long journey ahead made him secretly groan.

Why can't we give him a superpower like Mu Ling's?

Lu Liufeng sped up, not waiting for them. Rainwater swirled and splashed with the flapping of his wings, and with the help of the wind, it was like an arrow piercing through the clouds, cutting through the rain layer and leaving a long tail of rain before disappearing into the horizon.

Yi Yuexi: "Give me a pair of wings too!"

It doesn't have to be furry!

But all that answered him was the rain and countless figures that had drifted away from him.

Seeing that he would be left behind by Nafi and the others if he didn't speed up, he could only continue to wave his ice-blue snowflakes to help him run faster.

Duan Si was in the sky, amidst clouds and rain, swallowing thunder.

Lightning flashed across his jet-black snake body, floating in the thunderous sky, like a god who controlled thunder and rain.

When Yi Yuexi and his group arrived at the Chunlai tribe, it was lunchtime.

Lu Liufeng had already taken a shower and was sitting next to the female master, looking refreshed.

Mu Ling was also dressed in clean clothes, and her whole body exuded an aura of satisfaction.

Yi Yuexi walked in with a resentful expression.

Mu Ling hurriedly called out, "Go and change your wet clothes quickly, so you don't get them on the female master."

Nafiel and Nakan washed themselves in the Spring River. As soon as they entered the house, Nakan used his powers to dry their hair and then sat down.

Yi Yuexi was soaking wet and felt uncomfortable. Seeing how happy they were, she could only go and take a bath in frustration.

Although he wanted to sit next to the female master as soon as possible, he looked so disheveled and unseemly.

Duan Si was still swallowing thunder in the sky and had not come down.

It was also because it was raining and everyone stayed indoors, otherwise, his act of swallowing lightning from the sky would have shocked the Chunlai tribe.

Jiang Xi hadn't expected Lu Liufeng to be so fast, so when Lu Liufeng pushed the door open just now, she felt guilty and flustered, as if she had been caught cheating.

But soon, she couldn't care less about the mess of thoughts in her mind.

Because Lu Liufeng also stepped into the water...

Even so, Jiang Xi was sitting here with Mu Ling on her left, Lu Liufeng on her right, and Nafier and Nakan opposite her, all of whom were looking at her, which still made her feel inexplicably guilty.

She clenched her fist and coughed symbolically.

"You're back so quickly!"
