Chapter 287 The King Arrives
Ye Li nodded weakly, "Yes, I'm from the forest tribe, what about you?"
"Me? Haha..." The shackled woman said with a wry smile, "I'm a native of the farming tribe."
"Do you know Shi Qi?" Ye Li asked hurriedly.
"I don't know him, I don't know him." The woman was so scared that she ran away immediately.
"Hey... don't go!" No matter how Ye Li shouted, the man didn't turn back.
She continued to eat the hard bread in her hand. When she couldn't swallow it, she drank a sip of water. After she finished the whole bread, her strength was almost restored.
She had been waiting for Jiang Mei to come back, but no one came to ask about her for a long time. Ye Li was extremely tired, her head sank, and she fell asleep against the wall of the cowshed.
At the mountaintop tribe, Jiang Mei led a group to the mountaintop king's residence. Just as she stepped onto a staircase, a woman suddenly emerged from the house. Seeing her, she glared at her and shouted harshly, "Stop right there!"
Jiang Mei stopped and looked at the woman in front of her with interest. She was dressed gorgeously and seductively. She must be the woman of Qiu Laoer in the house.
"Who are you? How dare you come to a place like this?" Hua Nu looked at the woman who broke into the king's residence. She looked weak and delicate, exactly the type that men like. She couldn't let her become a threat to him.
"Me, haha..." Jiang Mei laughed, and the subordinates behind her also laughed.
"What are you guys laughing at? I'll call the king to deal with you! How dare you make fun of me!" Hua Nu was furious, but she could do nothing about them. She could only bring up the king of the tribe on the top of the mountain, the man she relied on, Qiu Laoer.
At this moment, one of Jiang Mei's men stepped forward and shouted, "You woman, you are so tactless! Why don't you go in and announce that the real leader of our mountaintop tribe is here?"
"What?" Hua Nu's eyes widened suddenly. What real boss? Wasn't her man the real boss?
Qiu Laoer, who was inside the house, heard the noise and quickly rolled out. He was just a short, middle-aged man with a wretched appearance. When he saw Jiang Mei, he immediately put on a flattering smile, "Oh, my king, you are finally back. After so many years, you are even more beautiful than before."
"Don't come on." Jiang Mei looked at the house that originally belonged to her and said, "Qiu Laoer, you've had enough of living here!"
"Yes, yes." Qiu Laoer bowed his waist and said quickly, "Thanks to you, my king, I have enjoyed my life very much these years. Now that you are back, my king, I should give up my throne and return to my original position."
"Haha..." Jiang Mei smiled, very satisfied with Qiu Laoer's reply.
"Come, clean up the house immediately and replace everything with new ones. Let our king return home comfortably."
The servants in the king's house immediately started to move, quickly cleaned up the house, and threw out all of Qiu Laoer and Hua Nu's things.
"My clothes! My cosmetics!" Hua Nu was heartbroken. She pulled Qiu Lao Er and said coquettishly, "My king, look at these servants who are just changing their attitude according to the situation. They don't take you seriously at all. Besides, how can you give up your position just like that? You said you would give me a lifetime of good life, and I have only lived a few days."
"Shut up!" Qiu Laoer waved his hand and slapped Hua Nu. He said fiercely, "Don't be disrespectful to the king!"
Hua Nu was stunned by the beating. She shrank to the side and dared not speak anymore.
"My lord, please come in!" Qiu Laoer smiled again and extended his hand to invite Jiang Mei into the house.
Hua Nu glared at Qiu Lao Er with hatred, cursing in her heart: "You worthless thing, you actually dared to hit me! Now you are no different from others, why should I still serve a wretched man like you? Pah!"
