Chapter 22 The Ungrateful Beastmen
A blush rose on Lu Liufeng's pale cheeks, and his amber eyes shimmered gently in the sunlight and snow.
This was the first time the female master had praised him.
For a time, he worked even harder.
Jiang Xi didn't notice his change.
Because there are just so many things that need to be done for this family to live a better life!
After washing the animal hides, she and Lu Liufeng went to the river to dig mud.
Lu Liufeng was puzzled at first, but when he saw the female master covering the outside of the wooden wall with mud, he understood her intention.
The fleeting sweetness that had just risen in his heart vanished instantly.
The female owner preferred to repair the house rather than let him keep her warm at night.
Lu Liufeng spread his wings and transformed into a half-beastman form.
He snatched the animal skin bag filled with wet mud and said earnestly.
"My lady, I'll take care of the outer wall. You should rest for a while."
Jiang Xi thought about it and agreed, because she had other things to do.
For example, wild grapes can be made into wine.
Fortunately, we had little in the house except for a lot of pots that we dug out of the stones.
She was washing grapes in the yard when she looked up and saw Lu Liufeng flapping his wings, flying in mid-air, covering the upper part of the wooden house with mud.
But whether it was Jiang Xi's imagination or not, she always felt that Lu Liufeng's wings seemed to have shrunk a lot.
Is it possible to control whether something gets bigger or smaller?
She remembered that Lu Liufeng said that beast transformation was not allowed in the tribe, so his miniature functional beast transformation should be permitted.
However, as she looked, Jiang Xi noticed something different.
Because his wingspan wasn't wide enough, Lu Liufeng couldn't fly very high, and he had to land and rest after flying for a while.
Jiang Xi's gaze was so intense that even Lu Liufeng noticed it.
He turned around, his face flushing again.
"Mistress, what's wrong?"
The young man had long, dark hair, a gentle and refined appearance, and slightly spread wings on his back. When he turned to the side, he looked like a crane in the snow.
Jiang Xi realized how embarrassing it was to be caught peeking.
She said awkwardly, "No, it's nothing, I just think you're really amazing."
Lu Liufeng's lips curled up slightly, and his mood brightened again.
The female master praised him again.
"The female master is also very capable."
Jiang Xi mumbled two "uh" sounds.
Not wanting to continue this awkward exchange of compliments, she quickly carried the washed grapes into the kitchen and placed them on clean straw mats to drain.
Then, she took out half of the potatoes from the animal skin bag in batches, washed them, and prepared to make potato noodles later.
The female and the animal in the yard had a clear division of labor, each performing their own duties.
A young orc came looking for Lu Liufeng and was almost speechless when he saw Jiang Xi working.
For a moment, the orcs didn't know whether to be surprised or to feel envy, jealousy, and hatred.
So, Jiang Xi's malice was only directed outwards!
They're surprisingly kind to the orcs, even offering to help them with chores!
No wonder Lu Liufeng and Mu Ling, even though they were often beaten and bruised, were still willing to speak up for their mistress.
It turns out that their mistress treats them and outsiders completely differently!
The orc's gaze was so intense that Jiang Xi subconsciously looked up.
This time, the burly orc outside didn't rush away as before; instead, he grinned at her, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
Jiang Xi: "..."
He doesn't seem very bright.
She lowered her eyes and continued washing the potatoes.
Lu Liufeng noticed the beastmen outside the courtyard and asked, "Luan Niu, is something the matter?"
The young orc called Luan Niu looked at him and quickly spoke.
"Lu Liufeng, the chief sent me to ask you if you have time tomorrow. He wants to organize the airspace beastmen in the tribe to transport food to the Jehol Valley tomorrow. It will cost 5 contribution points."
Lu Liufeng subconsciously looked towards the female master by the water.
But the female master did not turn around.
He thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure. Let me know before you leave tomorrow."
Luan Niu agreed, then couldn't help but look at Jiang Xi by the water.
Although he was a bit ugly, he was also a bit vicious to outsiders.
But a female master who is as good to her beast husband is really hard to find!
Luan Niu quickly waved to Lu Liufeng.
Lu Liufeng was puzzled, but he still came over.
Luan Niu stood outside the fence and asked in a low voice.
"Lu Liufeng, what type of beastmen does your female master like?"
Lu Liufeng's gaze fell on the burly, bull-like beastman in front of him, and he politely declined.
"My mistress doesn't like your type."
Luan Niu scratched his head: "So what type do you like?"
Lu Liufeng said without batting an eye, "Someone like me."
Luan Niu felt the pressure.
Lu Liufeng was the most popular orc in the tribe, second only to Yi Yuexi.
He's handsome, has a good temper, possesses strong superpowers, and is a Sky-Taming Beastman.
After thinking it over, Luan Niu was still unwilling to give up. If he couldn't do it, it would be good if someone from his family could marry into the family. He heard from the chief that the food Jiang Xi found was actually edible!
"I have a younger brother who is not yet married. He is from the bird tribe and has a beautiful singing voice. Several females in the tribe want to marry him. Do you think your queen would like him?"
Lu Liufeng: "..."
He replied coldly, "No."
Despite being discouraged, Luan Niu did not give up and went back to tell his bird-clan brother about it.
But the bird brother was so angry that all his feathers sprouted out.
"Even if I die, I will never marry that wicked female!!"
If Jiang Xi knew all this, she would only say, "Don't flatter yourself."
Lu Liufeng only painted the outer walls of the female master's house, not his own.
After applying the mud, he cleaned it off his body and then went to help the female master pound potatoes.
As evening fell, Mu Ling returned carrying a large bundle of bamboo.
He had half-undone the animal skin, revealing half of his muscular upper body. When he saw the mud house in the yard, he was stunned for a long time.
Even if he was slow-witted, he could guess the reason.
As the beastly husband of the female master, he failed to keep her warm, which was extremely irresponsible of him.
He forgot his resolve the night before never to give himself up, threw down the bamboo, and pushed open the door to the kitchen.
"My lady, come and sleep in my room tonight."
In the kitchen, Jiang Xi and Lu Liufeng were squeezing and pounding potatoes to extract starch.
The sound suddenly came in.
Jiang Xi was startled, but Lu Liufeng's eyes flashed as he sensed danger.
Mu Ling stood there with half of his upper body bare, exuding an alluring self-recommendation.
"I am a wolf, with thick fur. Sleeping under my belly in winter will keep you warm."
Lu Liufeng pursed his lips, unwilling to be outdone.
"My lady, I'm warm too."
Jiang Xi looked at Mu Ling, then at Lu Liufeng.
I'm a bit confused.
Why are they all asking her to sleep together even though they're about to break off their engagements?
Didn't they used to be so desperate, preferring to be beaten rather than sleep?
How come they've become so casual in just a few days?
