Chapter 104 Could it be a new female?
Lu Liufeng sensed the unease in the female master's tone.
He guessed that the female's unease might stem from her journey to the glacier to search for the blackfish.
Then he spoke.
"Don't worry, Mistress. No matter what happens, we will protect you and ensure you are not harmed."
Jiang Xi rolled over, buried her face in his feathers, and mumbled a soft "mmm".
One must be strong to forge iron; if she is too much of a burden, they may be powerless to protect her even if they want to.
The journey was uneventful, and we flew smoothly to the Jehol Valley.
In the Rehe Valley, the chief female had already instructed the snake-beast people of the Lion Roar tribe to begin harvesting.
However, there weren't many females in the valley. Occasionally, a few young ones would be talking to snake-kin beastmen or beastmen husbands on the riverbank or in the woods by the river.
Jiang Xi thought that since the chief female said she would bring the females of the tribe to live in the Rehe Valley for a while, she would see many females.
At the same time she saw the First Female, the First Female also saw her.
As soon as it landed, the first female came to greet it.
Upon seeing her face, he was also taken aback for a moment, and then quickly greeted her.
"Female Messenger."
Jiang Xi smiled at her.
"The first female arrived very early."
After looking around, she asked her question.
"Isn't it said that all the females in the tribe have to come and stay in the Jehol Valley for a while?"
The first woman gave an awkward laugh.
"They probably won't arrive until tomorrow."
The lazy females of the tribe, upon hearing that she would be gathering food for the glacier exploration team these two days, were afraid of becoming gathering laborers themselves, and one by one they delayed until the end of tomorrow before coming over.
Bringing this up will only upset the female envoy and make the Lion's Roar tribe appear disunited.
Therefore, the first female did not reveal the reason.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Jiang Xi didn't press for details.
After all, management matters are the most trivial and complicated.
Such a large tribe has diverse opinions, making it difficult to manage.
At that moment, a chilling voice came from the woods by the river.
"You've arrived."
Jiang Xi turned her head and saw Duan Si, with his black-scaled snake tail, swimming out of the forest.
He still looked like a vampire who hadn't left the castle for hundreds of years.
Jiang Xi smiled at him and said succinctly.
"We're heading to the glacier the day after tomorrow. Besides gathering food, I also wanted to let you know that I might not be coming back for a while."
But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Duan Si raise his scarlet snake eyes, scan her around, and then fix them on her. His eyes were filled with a hint of inquiry, and his nose twitched slightly.
Jiang Xi: "..."
She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her face.
She knew she had changed a lot, but she didn't know that it was so much that Duan Si doubted she was herself.
Just then, the faint sounds of orcs talking could be heard from not far away.
"Who is she? Why is she with Lu Liufeng? Has Lu Liufeng successfully dissolved the marriage contract and found a new mistress?"
"Tsk, Lu Liufeng is really amazing, he actually managed to find such a beautiful female master."
"Also from the Lion's Roar tribe? I've never seen her before. Could she be a newly exiled female?"
Jiang Xi: "..."
Could you speak any louder?
Lu Liufeng transformed from his hiding place, emerged wrapped in animal skin, and spoke.
"Duan Si, it's only been a short time, don't you recognize the female master?"
He deliberately amplified his voice so that the orcs who were discussing it could hear him.
The female master remains the female master.
"The female protagonist?"
Duan Si's gaze fell on Jiang Xi's unfamiliar and beautiful face, his expression full of suspicion.
He could sense the presence of the marriage contract and smell her familiar scent, but... was the female in front of him, whose appearance had changed so drastically, really Jiang Xi?
Jiang Xi nodded without explaining further.
"We'll be staying in Jehol Valley tonight to prepare food together. We'll need you to come with me to find some food later."
You can never have too much food.
While the tribe provides, we cannot be completely unprepared ourselves.
In case of unforeseen circumstances.
Duan Si pursed his lips.
He crossed his arms, swung his black-scaled snake tail, and circled Jiang Xi twice, keeping a distance between them.
Finally, he had to admit that this was indeed the new Jiang Xi.
He responded with a faint sound.
"knew."
Jiang Xi was both amused and exasperated.
However, she didn't say anything.
She turned her head, about to speak to Lu Liufeng, when she suddenly saw that his upper body was completely naked, with only animal skin covering his lower body, revealing his beautiful muscles.
In an instant, she felt a sense of shame for going too far and hurriedly stepped forward to help him cover up.
But as soon as she stepped out, she saw Yves, shirtless with two small green snakes on his head, swimming towards her from a distance.
Jiang Xi's steps froze.
The snake-beastmen of Jehol Valley... are all shirtless and wag their snake tails...
Lu Liufeng's bare upper body didn't seem out of place at all; on the contrary, he seemed to be conforming to the customs of the valley.
"cough."
Jiang Xi pressed her fist to her lips and coughed lightly to cover up her actions.
Then, she changed the subject.
"Lu Liufeng, I'm going to the woods with Duan Si to find food. You can play in the valley for a while, or go to the nearby area, but remember to come back for dinner."
Lu Liufeng smiled helplessly.
Why is the female master treating him like a little beastman again?
"Don't worry, Mistress. I'm going hunting. There were traces of piglets at the hunting grounds last time, and there might even be wild boars there."
Jiang Xi's eyes lit up, and she quickly added.
"If you find piglets, don't kill them. Catch them and raise them in the Jehol Valley. They'll grow up and be ready to eat next year when the weather warms up! And if there are both male and female piglets, they can continue to have piglets, achieving a sustainable meat supply!"
After saying that, she realized she needed to ask Duan Si about her decision, so she quickly turned to look at him, her dark eyes sparkling as she asked.
"Duan Si! If Lu Liufeng catches piglets, could you help raise them in the Rehe Valley? Just feed them plants, they're easy to raise. That way, when they grow up next year, we'll have meat to eat."
Duan Si remained silent for two seconds.
Raising...pigs?
But looking into the female's bright eyes, he nodded after a moment of silence.
"knew."
"If I catch it, I'll raise it."
Lu Liufeng gave him a strange look.
The young man standing to the side was strikingly handsome and wicked, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay...
But he's supposed to help the female owner raise pigs?
Despite how strange it was, Lu Liufeng didn't bring it up. He simply nodded, indicating that he would do his best.
He would do his best to fulfill whatever the female master wanted.
Even something as baffling as catching piglets to raise.
Because he knew that the female master must have her reasons.
At that moment, Yves came forward with two small green snakes.
On his way there, he heard the snake-race beastmen exclaiming about how Jiang Xi had changed so much. After seeing it for himself, he was stunned for a long time.
However, considering that her face was covered in black bumps before, now that the blackness has faded, it's hard to imagine what she looks like now.
The two little green snakes didn't have as many of the adults' complicated thoughts; they only smelled the scent they liked and stood on their father's head, whimpering and twisting their necks.
"Mistress, mistress, fragrant mistress~"
"Fragrant Mistress~"
