Chapter 138 As if No One Else Was There
"If... I mean if..."
Before Jiang Xi could finish speaking, a finger pressed against her lips.
She looked up and met Lu Liufeng's warm, amber eyes. He shook his head at her.
There are no "ifs".
“Mistress, the cursed land has existed for thousands of years and has nothing to do with you.”
“Even if something has happened, it must be a problem with the Cursed Land, not with the female master.”
Jiang Xi knew that he said this to make her feel better.
She pursed her lips.
"But what if there really is a connection?"
She thought of the pollution on her body, of the black fish, of the cursed beasts that outnumbered even the bountiful harvest...
And then there were the orcs and females who perished in the blackfish.
Lu Liufeng said, "Even if there is a connection, it must be the evil influence of the Cursed Land trying to harm the female master."
"No females favored by the Holy Ones have ever appeared in the Cursed Lands. What if this is the reason?"
"No one can say for sure if the reason why no second favored female has appeared is because of this."
Jiang Xi was stunned when she heard him say that.
That seems... to make sense?
Lu Liufeng continued.
"Such a great change has occurred in the Cursed Land. The Holy City and the Giant Tree Forest will make a decision. The Mistress doesn't need to worry too much."
"What kind of changes haven't occurred over the past thousand years? Perhaps all of this is just a coincidence."
Jiang Xi knew that he was trying to comfort her.
She pursed her lips.
But indeed, no matter how worried she was, there was nothing she could do.
We can only take it one step at a time and see how things go.
All I can do in the time to help with the treatment within my capabilities is to do so.
After thinking it through, Jiang Xi felt much better.
She looked up and saw Lu Liufeng still looking at her gently. She couldn't help but throw herself into his arms, bury her face in his chest, and whisper her thanks.
"Lu Liufeng, thank you."
She knew that she had always been a quiet person, not liking to talk about anything, always feeling that too much talk would lead to mistakes, and preferring to keep everything to herself and let her imagination run wild.
Without Lu Liufeng's comforting words, she might have struggled with this for a long time.
She never had anyone like Lu Liufeng around her before, someone she could confide in. Now that she does, she should communicate more with him about everything!
Communication! It helps overcome the long-term itch! It helps strengthen relationships!
Lu Liufeng held the female master in his arms and gently kissed her hair.
"No need for thanks, I am the female master's beast husband, this is what I should do."
Jiang Xi made a soft "hmm" sound, closed her eyes, and snuggled into his arms.
The room was warm, and the charcoal fire crackled and popped.
Lu Liufeng's embrace was broad and warm, completely enveloping Jiang Xi in his arms.
The thumping of her heartbeat made her heart beat faster.
She quietly looked up from his embrace.
She had expected to see Lu Liufeng's sharply defined jawline, but instead, she met his warm, amber eyes.
His long eyes, illuminated by the dim light of the charcoal fire, were exceptionally clear, reflecting her as if she were the only thing in his sight.
For some reason, Jiang Xi felt a bit thirsty.
She licked her lips.
Then, she made a bold decision.
She reached out and wrapped her arms around Lu Liufeng's neck, then lifted her upper body and tilted her head back to kiss him.
Their soft, warm lips pressed together.
She looked into his eyes, so close, his eyes reflecting her.
Lu Liufeng was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Xi's heart raced, their lips pressed together, rubbing against each other, and she whispered.
"Close your eyes."
Lu Liufeng's heart also raced. As he closed his eyes, he placed his hands on the back of the female master's neck, lowered his head, and held her tightly in his arms, kissing her.
Amidst the crackling of the charcoal fire, muffled sobs and the sound of water gradually rose up.
Time passed gradually.
Until Mu Ling's voice rang out in the courtyard.
Where is the female master?
Yi Yuexi said in a low voice, "Inside the house."
The two people inside the room were startled awake.
The lips are separated.
Jiang Xi's fair face flushed crimson, as did Lu Liufeng's.
He raised his finger to wipe the saliva off the female's lips, but once his finger touched it, he couldn't move it away.
Jiang Xi had already heard footsteps outside.
She quickly grabbed Lu Liufeng's hand, moved it away, then sat back down, leaving his embrace, and sat properly on the animal skin cushion.
For some reason, she felt like Mu Ling had caught her cheating.
But deep down, she told herself that if Mu Ling saw her kissing Lu Liufeng, he would definitely make a scene again tonight!
In order to get a good night's sleep, Jiang Xi decided not to let him see her.
Otherwise, once they start making a fuss, it will never end, and you won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Mu Ling's tall figure appeared in the doorway, his body covered in blood and exuding a murderous aura.
He stood by the door, originally intending only to glance at whether the female master was asleep or not, but seeing that Lu Liufeng was also there, he simply stepped inside.
Lu Liufeng's eyes flickered.
He assumed the female master wanted to spend some time with Mu Ling, so he prepared to go out.
The female master kissed him first, what more could he want?
But just as he was about to get up, the female master grabbed his arm.
Jiang Xi hugged Lu Liufeng, looked at Mu Ling, and asked.
"Are you alright?"
Mu Ling's gaze first swept over Mu Ling and the female master before he spoke.
"No."
"Why isn't the mistress asleep yet?"
For some reason, he always felt that something was off about the room, something... something indescribable that made him feel out of place.
Jiang Xi said guiltily, "I just finished washing up and I'm going to sleep."
But after she finished speaking, she thought, "Why am I feeling so guilty?!"
So she tightened her grip on Lu Liufeng's arm and spoke directly to Mu Ling.
"I'm going to sleep, you can leave now."
Mu Linglang narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Liufeng.
"What about Lu Liufeng! I leave? Does he have to stay and sleep with the female master?!"
He won't do that!
Lu Liufeng: "Of course I'll leave with you."
Mu Ling asked suspiciously, "Really?"
When Jiang Xi heard that Lu Liufeng was leaving, she felt a little reluctant for some reason.
But she knew that if she left Lu Liufeng behind, Mu Ling would definitely stay as well, so she could only regretfully let go of his hand.
Lu Liufeng did not answer Mu Ling's question. He lowered his eyes to look at the female master, raised his hand to touch her hair, and spoke in a gentle voice full of doting affection.
"The mistress should go to sleep early."
Jiang Xi met his amber eyes, and the kiss from before floated into her mind. Her gaze couldn't help but drift towards his lips.
Her thin lips glistened with moisture, alluring and suggestive.
Her face flushed again, and she nodded, "Mmm."
"You should go to bed early too."
Mu Ling couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to join in.
But as soon as he walked over, he was stopped by Lu Liufeng with a wind blade.
He turned his head to look over.
"Mu Ling, you're covered in filth, go wash yourself off."
Upon hearing his words, Mu Ling glanced down at the dirt on her body, pursed her lips, and didn't go any closer.
But he also insisted on his principles.
"Come with me!!"
