Chapter 296 An Ordinary Rich Orc
In a luxurious room covered with carpets.
Jiang Xi sadly put on her dress.
Nakan had to close his eyes and meditate because his powers were too strong.
As for Nafiel, although he hasn't reached that point yet, Jiang Xi could sense that he was close to needing to recuperate.
A silvery-white snake tail wrapped around Jiang Xi's waist, and a cool body covered her from behind. Nafiel embraced his mistress, his voice low and hoarse.
"My lady, I'm still alright."
It would have been better if these words hadn't been said; once they were, Jiang Xi felt like she was cruelly destroying a beautiful flower.
It was as if she were a sorceress who practiced certain evil arts, specifically designed to drain men's yang energy until they were completely drained.
Just thinking about this scene made Jiang Xi shudder.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Yi Yuexi's cheerful voice came in from outside.
"My lady, may I come in?"
His voice carried a hint of allure, sending a tingling sensation into Jiang Xi's ears.
The healing power within her body, which had subsided, began to stir again.
But she still refused, because she felt she needed to break through her limitations.
Hearing the refusal, Yi Yuexi was not annoyed. Instead, she smiled and sat back down.
Looking at the churning sea of clouds, he felt that the day he would serve his mistress was not far off.
The dueling arena was bustling with noise.
Duan Si will face off against Lu Liufeng and Mu Ling.
Duan Si's attack methods were strong, but unlike Mu Ling, he was not thick-skinned. So he was hit by Mu Ling's lightning-fast punches several times, and purplish marks appeared on his pale face.
None of the three activated their domains; they fought purely using their supernatural abilities.
Their superpowers were unleashed recklessly, creating deafening roars in the dueling arena.
Orcs and females cheered and shouted from the stands surrounding the dueling arena.
During this period, the dueling arena was packed every day.
The orcs watched the battle with high spirits, and some of the stronger ones went directly into the fray to duel these creatures from the cursed land.
But without exception, they all lost.
The females, on the other hand, were all filled with longing and wished they could immediately marry such a powerful and violently beautiful orc.
The orc trend in the royal court has gradually shifted from the handsome, pale-skinned, humorous men to the powerful and aloof ones.
Especially the type that's ready to duel at the slightest disagreement.
Among the females of the royal court, a rumor began to circulate that the orcs of the Cursed Lands were very strong.
Strength in every aspect.
Jiang Xi did not allow them to conceal the fact that they came from the Cursed Land. In fact, she not only did not conceal it, but also publicized it a little, in order to improve the impression of the Cursed Land in the royal court and make the females of the royal court willing to marry the orcs from the Cursed Land.
In this way, the bonds formed through marriage can better promote the development of various tribes in the Cursed Lands.
But what she didn't expect was that her small step would lead to a giant leap forward.
Recently, many orcs from the royal court and the great tribes of the Giantwood Forest, after witnessing the power of these orcs from the Cursed Lands and their strength as fourth-tier humans, have decided to send their young talents to the Cursed Lands for trials, to hunt cursed beasts, and to improve their own strength.
When this news reached the Tree God Tribe, the tribe was still sparing no effort to sell their unmarried orcs to the Holy Maiden from the Holy City.
They knew that the Holy City had sent people to the Cursed Land, but they did not know that the people who came were the Holy Mother and four Holy Favored Females.
These four favored females each took in a beastman husband on the Star Sea Plain, and also recruited some beastman followers from the tribes along the way who were not given official titles.
The noble holy woman did not take in a single beastman, which gave the Tree God tribe hope.
Therefore, they did not hesitate to abandon their cooperation with the favored female in the cursed land and decided to turn their attention to the holy female in the holy city.
Over the course of a few days, they noticed that the Holy Mother and the four Holy Favored Women often lingered their gazes on Riley.
They urged Riley to express his love to the Virgin Mary, to please her, and to marry him in the tribe to avoid any unforeseen complications.
But Riley not only failed to please them, the usually shrewd and charming Riley became a cold, unyielding figure, uttering not a single word. Moreover, when he tried to leave quietly at night, he was almost mistaken for a treacherous orc by the powerful Earth-rank experts of the Holy City.
The red moon hangs high, and the night is perfect.
The bonfire at the Tree God Tribe burned continuously, creating a lively atmosphere.
Riley, carrying his bag, left the tribe again, hidden by the young beastmen.
The young beastmen wiped away tears of emotion.
Is this the power of love?
"Reeley disregards even the Holy Mother for a favored female from a cursed land. What is this if not love?"
"That's really touching."
“I’ve made up my mind. I will no longer make marrying a favored woman my life’s goal. I will seek true love! No matter her status, whether she is beautiful or ugly, as long as I love her, we can overcome all difficulties and obstacles!”
The young orc was expressing his feelings when he was tapped on the forehead a few times.
The boy covered his head, looked up, and was horrified.
"leader!"
The middle-aged orc glanced at the group of brats.
"Aren't you going back?! Are you feeding insects here in the middle of the night?"
If he hadn't turned a blind eye and let them off the hook, they wouldn't have been able to leave the tribe unnoticed, and Riley wouldn't have been able to escape.
Although he was the leader, the tribe did not belong to him alone. He had to consider the interests of the tribe and consult with the elders on everything. He could not make all decisions on his own.
But that doesn't mean he's a stubborn, inflexible old man.
Back then, his brother married into the royal court for the sake of the Tree God tribe, marrying the female emissary Nicola.
However, having failed to produce offspring, he became the lowest of the female beastmen after the initial novelty wore off, a position that every beastman could easily trample on.
If the Tree God Tribe hadn't developed well later and its trade had spread throughout the entire Giant Tree Forest, his brother would probably have been wasted away in the royal court long ago.
Even a being as powerful as the First Giant Tree King, even with offspring, gradually declined after losing the favor of his mistress, becoming the Giant Tree King with the shortest reign.
The holy city's favored females can accept orcs from various tribes along the way, and assign them corresponding statuses based on the strength of the orc tribe, such as beastmen or untitled followers.
This shows that even if they accept the orcs of the Tree God tribe, they will only consider their value.
Once it has been used up and lost its value, it will be discarded without hesitation.
Therefore, when he heard that the favored female of the Cursed Lands, knowing the power of the Tree God Tribe, refused to marry Riley and instead planned to trade with the Tree God Tribe, he knew that she was definitely not a favored female who would mistreat orcs for profit.
The middle-aged orc looked at the dense forest under the red moon and muttered to himself.
"Hopefully, she is a female servant worthy of a beastman's lifelong commitment."
Riley left the tribe under the cover of night.
He looked up at the red moon under the night sky, and through the moonlight that fell on the earth, he seemed to see his beloved admiring the moon in the royal court.
Riley smiled, a slight upturn to his lips.
"Without the power of the Tree God, I'm just an ordinary rich orc now~ Please don't look down on me, female servant~"
