Chapter 33: That pose is so weird!

Duan Si was silent for a moment.

"It's still early, should we look some more?"

He got the reward he wanted today, and although he wasn't a trustworthy orc, he subconsciously hoped she could find what she wanted.

Jiang Xi shook her head, "No, let's go back! Lu Liufeng is still waiting, we'll come again next time!"

Lu Liufeng...

Duan Si's crimson snake eyes flashed. He hummed in response, said nothing more, and turned to swim back.

But in her mind, she couldn't help but wonder, did Lu Liufeng know that she wasn't her?

For the past six months, he has been in a daze, his mind is confused, and he can no longer remember many things.

But on these two occasions, the care that Lu Liufeng showed when he brought the female master to Rehe Valley was not the coldness he remembered.

As Duan Si was thinking, a startled cry suddenly came from above his head.

"etc!"

"To the left, a little further, a little further."

Jiang Xi's eyes lit up, and she knelt down, her legs crossed, and she couldn't help but lean in that direction.

Duan Si swam over, not understanding why, and then stopped at the instruction.

Jiang Xi jumped off the snake's head, took a few steps forward, and stood still next to a few stalk-like plants.

The straw has long, thin leaves extending from both sides, with a bunch of wrapped stick-shaped objects sandwiched between the leaves.

"It's corn!"

Moreover, it's a super corn that's two to three times the size of a regular corn!

Duan Si's snake head leaned closer, his scarlet snake eyes staring vertically at her. "This thing is edible?"

Jiang Xi peeled off the leaves, took a seed, popped it into her mouth, chewed it, and nodded with bright eyes.

"It's edible!!"

Duan Si transformed into a human-headed snake and began to husk corn.

There are four or five corn trees in front of us, and the huge ears of corn on one tree can fill half a leather bag.

Jiang Xi only allowed Duan Si to pick one tree.

"The rest, you and the snake-beastmen in the Hot River Valley can deal with it together after we leave."

The Rehe Valley is in complete chaos today.

There are too many people with ulterior motives.

Subconsciously, Jiang Xi wanted to save some for the snake-beast people living in the Rehe Valley.

After all, everyone had kindly helped her two days ago.

If this corn were announced now, it would probably be completely harvested in less than a day.

She then told Duan Si how to do it.

"Corn is a staple food. It can be eaten by simply boiling it in water or by roasting it."

Duan Si was puzzled.

"Why?"

"The snake-beast people in the Jehol Valley can find their own food; you don't need to save any for them."

As he spoke, he began to break off the second tree.

Jiang Xi quickly reached out to pull him.

"No, I can't possibly eat all of this if I take it back."

The back of her hand was icy cold to the touch, with sharp knuckles. Jiang Xi was slightly taken aback, realizing that her actions were inappropriate, so she withdrew her hand and continued.

"Besides, food should be eaten fresh. If you peel all of these off, it will spoil in a couple of days."

Of course, it's winter now, so food doesn't spoil as easily.

She said this only to get Duan Si to stop and share the food with other people in need.

Duan Si stood among the corn stalks, his scarlet snake eyes looking over, his handsome and wicked face showing a hint of contemplation.

Finally, he nodded in agreement.

But what I agree on is that food should be eaten fresh, not shared with others.

Because Duan Si later broke off some more, the bag was eventually filled two-thirds full, making it bulging.

This time, Duan Si did not transform into a giant snake.

He maintained his human-headed, snake-bodied appearance and, taking advantage of Jiang Xi's inattention, tossed the two small green snakes into the animal skin bag containing food.

He slung the leather bag over his shoulder and then reached out his other hand to her.

"Let's go."

Jiang Xi was completely baffled, and she reached out her hand in confusion.

But the moment his fingertips touched Duan Si's hand, the young man bent down, grabbed her legs with one hand, and lifted her up, placing her on his shoulder.

Jiang Xi was startled and exclaimed in surprise.

She quickly grabbed his head to steady him, and said awkwardly, "Put me down!"

What kind of pose is that? It's so weird!

In particular, Duan Si had a leather bag on his other shoulder, while she was sitting on his other shoulder.

Although she knew that the orcs were all very large.

But perhaps because of the snake-beastman's long tail, she always subconsciously felt that Duan Si was tall, not slender.

Now that she was sitting on his shoulders at close range, Jiang Xi realized that the young man had broad shoulders and muscular arms that could easily wrap around her and lift her up.

She sat on his shoulder, and even though she was wrapped in animal skin, she was still very slender.

Duan Si didn't see anything wrong with it and explained in a cold voice.

"There's still some distance. Sit still and don't move around."

After saying that, he flicked his snake tail and swam away.

As he moved forward, Jiang Xi dared not move, afraid that she would fall off his shoulder.

Its speed in its human-headed, snake-bodied form is much faster than in its fully beast form.

Jiang Xi wanted to reiterate that he should put her down, but Duan Si looked ahead with a businesslike demeanor, which made her swallow her words again.

It's just a matter of riding the wave.

Even so, this posture is still too embarrassing.

Her thoughts wandered, and her gaze involuntarily drifted downwards, landing on Duan Si's face.

The young man had pale, bloodless skin, a high nose, and deep-set eyes. His already handsome and wicked face became even more eerie under his pair of scarlet snake eyes.

Duan Si noticed her gaze, his snake-like eyes flickered, and he turned his head to look at her.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Xi suddenly met those scarlet snake eyes and was so embarrassed that she almost fell off his shoulder.

She quickly denied it three times, saying, "No, no, it's nothing!"

Getting caught peeping is so embarrassing.

But how could she resist looking?

After all, the beastmen of this world were too novel to her!

Orcs, half-orcs, in their complete bestial form.

With a 'whoosh', it transformed!

That's amazing!

Duan Si's snake-like eyes shifted away, and he continued swimming forward.

Before reaching the valley, Jiang Xi wanted him to put her down.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, Duan Si flicked his tail and instantly swam out of the forest and into the valley.

There are far fewer females and orcs in the valley.

Even so, he was startled by Duan Si's sudden appearance.

Then, everyone's gaze slowly shifted upwards, landing on Jiang Xi, who was sitting on his shoulder.

Duan Si...Didn't Duan Si dislike his female master?

Thinking of the duel that Duans had challenged Nakan to the day before yesterday, the snake-beastmen had a hint of amusement on their faces.

It seems that Duan Si doesn't dislike the female master as much as he appears.

Duan Si is the most mysterious snake-beastman in the Rehe Valley. Since entering the valley, he has rarely appeared there except when washing himself.

Orcs are gossipy creatures, and they had already learned all about his affair with the female master from the snake-orcs of the Lion's Roar tribe.

So when they saw this scene, many people exchanged glances.

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment under everyone's gaze, and then her face instantly burned.

She raised her hand to cover her face, too ashamed to show her face.

"Put me down!"
