The Duke tapped his fingers on the table. "Medium efficiency."
Li Aili: "Don't go too far! If you shrink so much, who will make you alchemical potions?"
The Duke said calmly, "I can make a sacrifice."
Li Aili: "..."
To prevent someone from turning against him upon returning from the forest, the Duke actually produced a contract scroll.
Li Aili was so angry she laughed.
But he still pressed his humiliating handprint.
She was finally able to go to the Water Bottle Forest to see the tree spirits with the centaurs!
Because Li Aili was added at the last minute, the Duke simply waved his hand and funded their use of the underground portal in the Adventurers' Guild to travel back and forth.
Centaurs are children of the forest. After returning to the forest, they all ran wild, kicking their heels every few steps.
Li Aili pondered whether she should discuss with the Duke about expanding the western forest area of the castle to make the centaurs more comfortable.
"I hope Jasmine didn't cause you any trouble." A stiff male voice came from beside him.
Li Aili came to her senses and saw that Zhegumu had walked up to her side at some point.
"She is very good, I have already accepted her as my disciple."
Zhegumu raised his hand and naturally pulled a fake vine-like snake from the branch in front of him, then casually tossed it into the grass to the side.
"Really? She's a troublemaker. Your judgment isn't very good."
Li Aili was almost scared to death by the snake, but she still tried to remain calm. "You're so 'good with words,' no wonder Alice broke up with you."
The valiant centaur chieftain stood frozen in place.
It was visibly drizzling above his head.
Before long, the dejected chieftain fell to the back of the group.
"Hehe, you're really something. This is the second time I've seen the clan leader get his comeuppance."
It goes without saying who was the first.
The one who came closer was a centaur female warrior. Her horse body was pure white, and her hair and eyelashes were also white. She looked better than Jasmine.
"My name is White Rose, and I am a good friend of Jasmine."
Looking at the centaur girl's strong physique, Li Aili could hardly suppress the urge to commit a crime.
"Want to ride on? I'll give you a ride. You must have had a hard time walking, right?" the centaur girl said generously.
Li Aili was ecstatic. "Ah, is this really possible?"
The centaur girl smiled nonchalantly. "I really like you. You're so kind to Jasmine. So, no problem~"
As she spoke, she casually pulled Li Aili onto her horse.
"See? I told you women couldn't be soldiers, didn't I?"
"White Rose, what are you doing? Are you going to be a mule for humans?"
"Hahaha~" Several young men shouted loudly from behind.
Li Aili froze, and whispered, "I'd better go down."
White Rose reached out to protect her, saying nonchalantly, "Don't worry about it. You know, some people go through a phase like that in their lives."
Li Aili asked curiously, "What stage?"
White Rose calmly turned around and threw a punch at the young men who were laughing and walking forward, saying, "You're in the stage where you need a beating."
Then, a scream startled countless birds in the woods.
