Chapter 356 is all crammed together.

When Malthus said this, he was standing on the stone roof, with a crimson full moon behind him, obscuring his face and giving him an eerie aura.

Upon hearing this, and seeing the scene before her, Jiang Xi's heart skipped a beat; she almost thought the Giant Tree King had descended upon her.

Riley shrugged: "Malthus, what are you pretending to be?"

"It's the Giant Tree King we'll meet soon, not you, okay?"

Malthus coughed, jumped down from the stone roof, walked over with a smile, placed one hand on his chest, and bowed.

"So, the female envoy is my king's female mistress, the queen of the Giant Tree Forest."

Jiang Xi took a step back and quickly waved her hand.

No, no, no.

"There are some misunderstandings. My relationship with the Giant Tree King is not like that."

Sen was surprised, "The female servant married the Giant Tree King?"

Jiang Xi denied it, "No!"

Malthus: "The king has already proclaimed this to the Giantwood Forest, and it shouldn't be long before the Cursed Lands also receive the news."

Mori: "I believe in female messengers."

Malthus met his gaze, their eyes clashing like gunpowder in the air.

Malthus glanced at the sky.

"It's getting late, let's finish the rest tomorrow."

A small stone hut was built in front of the statue, but it was only a rough draft and had not been reinforced yet, so it was uninhabitable.

As initially agreed, Malthus first led his men to build a habitable hut so that the fox-orcs could take turns guarding the Mother Tree.

But clearly, things have fallen apart.

Sen nodded, his expression unchanged, and said in a low voice.

"I know I'm being a bit unreasonable, but please make sure you come tomorrow to help build the house that protects the statue and the mother tree."

“During this period, the female envoy comes every day to groom the mother tree, and she must also want the mother tree to have an undisturbed environment as soon as possible.”

Malthus gritted his teeth slightly and replied with a smile.

"Of course, the royal court will definitely take matters concerning Wang Ci very seriously."

Jiang Xi looked at the two of them; they were both smiling, but she felt that something was off.

However, she was hungry, so she didn't dwell on it and smiled as she spoke to the two of them.

"Thank you for your help. See you tomorrow."

Malthus smiled and nodded: "See you tomorrow, Queen."

Mori smiled and said, "See you tomorrow, Female Envoy."

Riley smiled with satisfaction at the sight of the two men not getting along.

He approached, patted Malthus on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Keep it up, Malthus, the most capable man under the King of Giantwood and a model worker of the royal court!"

After saying that, without waiting for Malthus's reply, he turned around and chased after Jiang Xi, who had walked some distance away.

"Wait for me!"

Malthus and Sen stood still, watching the female messenger and several orcs walk away.

Malthus glanced sideways at Sen beside him and warned him.

"The Queen Consort is the king's empress; not just any beastman can marry her!"

Mori: "The female envoy already said no."

“There are plenty of orcs who want to marry the female envoy, but the Giantwood King is the first to unilaterally declare his intention to marry her.”

After saying that, Sen smiled slightly at him, turned around and walked towards the statue.

He sat cross-legged before the icon, closed his eyes, and ignored Malthus.

Malthus snorted and turned to leave with the orcs.

Jiang Xi was so hungry that her stomach was practically touching her back.

As soon as she pushed open the courtyard gate, she shouted and ran towards the kitchen.

"I'm so hungry, so hungry."

Hollen stayed in the kitchen, watching the charcoal fire to ensure the food on the pot was always kept warm.

Upon hearing the female master's voice, he quickly got up.

"The female master is back?"

Jiang Xi hummed twice, ran to the charcoal fire, untied the lid from the stone pot, and exclaimed "Wow!"

"Braised beef brisket with tomatoes! I haven't had this in ages!"

My mouth is watering.

She opened another pot.

Wow! Lamb offal soup! It's been so long since I've had this!

Hollen was lost in her constant wails.

"Should the lady try it first and see if there's anything she doesn't like?"

As he spoke, he picked up a spoon, scooped out a piece of beef brisket, then picked up his chopsticks, used them to pick up a piece, and fed it to the female master.

Jiang Xi opened her mouth and ate it directly, giving a thumbs up repeatedly.

"Delicious! Delicious!"

"Let's eat quickly, I'm so hungry."

Riley: "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry too."

Jiang Xi paused for two seconds upon hearing his voice, then looked over in confusion.

Why are you still here?

Riley: "Come on, I've been waiting for you in Icon Square all day without eating. You can't expect me to go back hungry, can you?"

"Where should we eat at this time?"

Jiang Xi saw Hill behind him.

Riley was thick-skinned, but Hill was always gentle and polite.

If Hill didn't eat either, then he really didn't eat anything.

"Okay, let's eat. Come help serve the dishes."

Besides the braised beef brisket with tomatoes, lamb offal soup, and spicy stir-fried chicken, while serving the dishes, Hollen also made a stir-fried vegetable dish.

It was a bit chilly at night, so Jiang Xi didn't go to the backyard to eat. Instead, she ate at the same long dining table on the first floor.

Not long after we entered the house, while we were still setting out the meal, Haixia walked in from the backyard.

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment.

"You haven't eaten yet either?"

Haisia ​​gave a soft "hmm".

"We'll wait for you to come back for dinner."

Seeing that no one had eaten, Jiang Xi couldn't help but speak up.

"Next time this happens, you don't need to wait for me."

Hollen shook his head slightly.

"The female master hasn't returned yet, how can we eat first?"

Jiang Xi said a few more words, but still couldn't change their minds, so she had to give up.

Lu Liufeng, Duan Si, Nafier, and Nakan were all absent. Although Riley and Hill were present, the dining table inevitably became quiet.

Thinking back to the lively scene in the backyard this morning, it now seems even more deserted.

Thinking back to the morning, Jiang Xi looked at Riley.

"Has the site been chosen for the hotel?"

Riley raised an eyebrow: "So eager to be my neighbor?"

Jiang Xi: "..."

Yi Yuexi: "Let's eat. Why are you talking so much?"

They're all very skilled, even better than him.

Mu Ling: "Your land is two or three houses further over there! What kind of neighbor are you! It's ridiculous!"

Jiang Xi coughed twice to prevent them from arguing.

She then looked at Hill with equal favor.

And you?

Hill looked up and answered with a smile.

"We chose the other side of the river."

After saying that, he continued.

"In addition, the planting area cannot be located together with the breeding area, otherwise no matter how many fruits and vegetables are grown, they will be eaten by pigs, cattle and sheep."

"I plan to cultivate farmland on the other side of the river. The soil there is fertile and the water supply is plentiful and convenient for irrigation, making it an excellent place for planting."

Jiang Xi naturally gave a thumbs up and said "good".

Professional tasks should be handled by professionals!

Riley: "Well, now they're all crammed together."

"Can't you go to the river on the other side of the tribe? I can pay you with seashell coins."

"You've cultivated land right across from my hotel; it's such an eyesore."

Hill met his gaze and shook his head.

"This is the only piece of land that is most suitable for planting."
