Chapter 244 They are searching for someone
"A...marriage contract!!!"
Nakan almost cried out in surprise, his eyes brimming with uncontrollable joy.
"Really? Really, will you marry me?"
Jiang Xi looked into his bright eyes and nodded somewhat shyly.
I just feel like something's off.
Nafiel glanced at Nakan.
"Let's eat first."
"After you finish eating, go out and ask around."
Nakan: "Yes, yes, let's eat first, let's eat first, I'll go out after we eat."
He became so excited that he started talking incoherently.
Jiang Xi took her seat, and Nafiel and Nakan sat on either side of her.
The three of them usually sit like this.
But this time, because of the marriage contract, the atmosphere was completely different.
"Female, female master, try this..."
Nakan served her food and whispered tentatively, trying to find the right way to address her.
Seeing that she didn't refuse, he smiled so broadly that his mouth almost stretched to the back.
Jiang Xi grunted and ate.
When she was talking about the marriage contract, she spoke very naturally, without the slightest embarrassment.
Sitting down now, I feel a little uncomfortable in some way.
Nafi also served food to the female master.
"Mistress, try this."
Jiang Xi mumbled an "uh" again.
Now that she'd calmed down, she suddenly realized how she was going to explain this to Lu Liufeng and Mu Ling...
There's also Yi Yuexi...
If we don't give him a little treat, he'll probably throw a huge tantrum.
Jiang Xi's heart jumped again.
Too many beasts aren't a good thing either.
A black snake was visible on her wrist. She touched the tiny snake scales. Fortunately, Duan Si was still asleep and wouldn't be involved in this 'smoke and fire' for the time being.
These days, she dreams of playing with Little Duan Si in Kurkan every night.
It's clear that little Duan Si has already decided that he wants to marry her when he grows up.
If he remembers these memories after he wakes up...
Originally, he had already given me his protective scales, and then there were these memories from my dreams...
Jiang Xi sighed deeply.
Having too many beasts to work with is no easy task.
After finishing his meal in high spirits, Nakan immediately went out.
Jiang Xi stood on the small platform outside the house, watching Nakan disappear into the distance.
Nafiel embraced her from behind, bent down, rested his chin on the crook of her neck, flicked his forked tongue, and gently licked it, his voice hoarse.
"My lady... since we have nothing to do during the day, let's do something fun, shall we?"
He asked the question, but his voice was a statement of certainty.
After saying that, he picked up the female master and carried her horizontally.
Jiang Xi gasped and was about to struggle when she caught a glimpse of some hotel guests coming down from the side. She quickly buried her face in Nafi's arms and stopped struggling.
Nefer carried the female back into the house and closed all the doors and windows.
The room grew dim, with only the silvery-white scales shimmering with tiny lights.
Jiang Xi sat on the bed, the snake's tail coiled around her, a few strands of snow-white hair falling down. She looked up and met Nafi's snake eyes, which were becoming increasingly hazy in the dim light.
"Naffel".
Jiang Xi slightly raised her upper body and reached out to hug his neck.
It felt cool and solid in my arms, and the scales on the snake's tail were also cool to the touch, making it very comfortable to step on.
Nafiel wrapped one arm around the female master's waist and placed the other hand behind her head, then lowered his head and kissed her.
"The female master..."
Inside, it was enchanting.
Outside, on the wooden walkway connecting the treehouses, Dobin led two tall orcs dressed in white and brown robes to their houses.
The lower half of both orcs' faces were covered with the same-colored face coverings, revealing only pairs of green eyes of different shades.
One of the orcs, whose eyes were even greener, spoke up.
Who lives there?
Dobin followed his gaze and saw that it was room number one. He turned his head and chuckled.
"That's my brother's future mistress, we're still looking at each other."
As he spoke, Dobin flapped his wings and turned, leading them in another direction, far away from Room 1.
We must not allow any competitive orcs to get near room number one!
These two outsiders, one a third-tier beastman and the other a fourth-tier beastman, have no contractual aura yet. We must not let them get close to Room Number One.
What if they manage to seduce that pretty female?
He has to think about Riley and marry him off as soon as possible, so all these hotels will be his, hahaha~
Dobin let out a laugh like that of an evil bee.
The two orcs gave him a strange look.
"Kid, is there an empty room over there? We can stay there and earn extra shell coins."
Dobin buzzed and flapped its wings twice, chuckling softly.
"Guest, that area is fully booked."
The two orcs had no choice but to follow the giant bee to a treehouse so far away that they could no longer see the house they had just left.
After the giant bee left, the two sat down by the window, removed their veils, and revealed their young faces.
He was very young, but his demeanor was calm and ancient, as steady as the earth.
One of the orcs leaned out of the window and looked toward the unseen direction of room number one.
Could it be her?
The other orc shook his head.
"It's too far away, I can't sense it. Let's find an opportunity to get closer."
Immediately afterwards, the two orcs began to discuss.
"Phoenix Mountain and Nightmare Swamp have already headed towards the Cursed Land."
"Don't worry, Gu Ling's guidance has never gone wrong."
At the base of a large tree, Riley leaned against a stake, settling accounts.
Suddenly, an orc whispered something in his ear.
His dark green eyes narrowed.
"really?"
The orc nodded.
“Indeed, these brown-robed orcs, traveling in pairs, have checked into most of the inns in the city. Every spot is occupied by their men. Moreover, their leader has entered the royal court, seemingly looking for someone.”
Riley stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Just then, Dobin came flapping its wings.
He waved to him.
"Tell those two brown-robed orcs that the supporting branches of their house are broken, upgrade their house, and send them to the old inn to stay."
After he finished speaking, his brows furrowed again.
"etc."
"Let's do it tomorrow. When they want to extend their stay tomorrow, we'll tell them that we're already full and the room they're staying in is already booked."
Dobin rubbed his six legs and quickly recounted what had just happened.
"By the way, they want to stay near room number one."
Riley looked at him. "You agreed?"
Dobin flapped its wings and buzzed around once.
"Who am I! I am the wise and resourceful King Dobin, how could I possibly agree to this! I sent him to the very end of the room."
Riley chuckled.
"Alright, you are indeed the clever and resourceful King Dobin."
Dobin felt that he was being insulted, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Riley left the tree roots and entered the giant tree's interior through a hidden spot behind it, heading deeper into the tree.
Deep inside, there is a hazy green veil that isolates the inside from the outside.
Riley stepped into the green dome. On a stone platform inside the dome, a miniature of a large tree floated, with scattered points of light on the miniature.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that this is indeed the large tree supporting the treehouse, and those points of light are the treehouses perched on its branches.
Riley reached out, and green light emanated from his hand, enveloping the miniature tree.
Soon, the light spot belonging to room number one began to twinkle, becoming the brightest of all the light spots.
Riley stared at the phantom of the tree and murmured to himself.
"Big tree, oh big tree, tell me, are they those people?"
"If they come, will you go with them?"
The shadowy image of the large tree flickered, as if answering him.
Riley chuckled and raised his hand to press his head.
"What nonsense am I spouting?"
Nakan returned in the evening.
Riley, who brought food, came with Nakan.
Nakan was unaware of Riley's conversation with the female master at noon, so he graciously let him into the house.
Jiang Xi turned her head and was startled to see Riley standing in the room with a smile.
"You... how did you get here?"
Nakan stepped out from behind him, excitedly.
"My lady, I've found out everything. We can go in a little while."
When Jiang Xi saw Nakan, she quickly turned her attention away from Riley.
Riley laid out the food on the wooden table, and then took out a wooden box containing a beautiful dress made of linen and dark green.
Jiang Xi's eyes widened, and she took a step back.
No way...
Nafiel and Nakan's gazes immediately turned towards them.
Riley said very calmly.
“Recently, there have been many more orcs from outside the royal court. They seem to be looking for someone. This dress is made by my people and has been blessed by tree spirits. It can ward off detection…”
Seeing that Jiang Xi and her two beastmen were wary, Riley spoke slowly again.
"Only 299 coins, how about it, interested?"
Jiang Xi, Nafiel, and Nakan were all stunned.
Jiang Xi looked at Riley strangely.
Are they really here to sell something?
"Are there any worn by orcs?" she asked.
Riley scoffed, "Orc clothes can't even sell for Shell Coins, okay? We're not going to make them."
Nafiel, Nakan: "..."
It seems that this is indeed the case.
Along the way, apart from the fact that food was eaten with the orcs and no separate shell coins were charged, clothing, shoes, hats, and fruits that the females liked to eat were all more expensive.
Jiang Xi dispelled her doubts.
This young boss always talks nonsense, but his love of money is certain and undeniable.
Jiang Xi stepped forward and touched the dress in the wooden box. The fabric was slightly thick, well-shaped but not stiff, and soft to the touch. It should be very comfortable to wear.
If this dress can truly block detection, she can not only go to the Qi Palace, but also go out into the streets to gather information.
"Can it really isolate it?"
Jiang Xi looked at Riley with suspicion.
Riley's eyes were dark green, deep and narrow, and when he smiled, he looked very malicious.
"Of course, my hotel is right here. Do you think I'd try to trick you?"
Jiang Xi thought it made sense.
"I'll buy it!"
She lowered her eyes, looking at the dark green color of her dress, feeling as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Nafiel counted out 299 shell coins and gave them to Riley.
Riley tossed a seashell coin into the air, clasped it in his palm, and with a smile gathered the remaining seashell coins before leaving the house.
"I'm leaving now. If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime."
Nafiel and Nakan both looked at the exquisite dress in the wooden box, then looked up at the female master.
Jiang Xi was also tempted.
Everyone loves beauty, and she was no exception.
but……
Let's eat first!
She can't wear such a pretty dress when eating; if she gets it dirty, she'll have nowhere to turn for help.
