Chapter 426 All I Want Is to Compete for Favor
"Can Hollen come back?" Mu Ling asked.
Although he didn't want too many orcs to compete with him for the female's love, he had at least known Hollen, and the sudden sealing of him made him feel inexplicably sad.
Jiang Xi: "Of course, but it will take some time. I need to purify the destructive black tide in the colorless realm first."
Osiris: "He was lucky; he turned misfortune into blessing and received the Qilin's inheritance."
Mu Ling: "What!?"
"Does that mean he'll be better than me when he comes back?"
That really doesn't make me happy at all.
Jiang Xi sighed helplessly, "Osiris, you need to apologize to Hollen when he comes back. How could you just throw him into the unknown debris? What if it's a destroyed debris?"
Osiris remained silent, but Lu Liufeng's consciousness took over his body and he spoke.
“He knows, and he will apologize to Hollen.”
Osiris thought to himself with displeasure, "I didn't say that, and I won't apologize."
Lu Liufeng: "I will apologize to him."
Jiang Xi saw that it wasn't right for them to keep sharing a body, so she spoke up.
"I'll help Osiris rebuild his body in the next couple of days."
Osiris: "May I have the bloodline of the Phoenix?"
Jiang Xi: "..."
"If you want..."
Before she could finish speaking, Osiris added, "Never mind, the original one is still the best."
Although the Phoenix bloodline is powerful, it is not as important as the female master's affection.
His handsome appearance and beast-like nature were undoubtedly part of the reason he won the female master's heart.
Jiang Xi told them not to spread the news of her return, otherwise, they would probably not have peace for a long time.
After she briefly explained the situation, the atmosphere turned cold again.
Over the past three years, although everyone has gotten along harmoniously, that was based on the premise that there was no need to compete for favor.
Now that the female master has returned, everyone wants to make a good impression to show that they haven't regressed or fallen into depravity in the past three years.
But it seems that the female master knows the extent to which they can demonstrate their abilities.
Yi Yuexi spoke first, "The female master has just returned and is not yet familiar with the divine kingdom, so why don't I take her around?"
Before Jiang Xi could answer, Nafiel spoke up.
“I have been in charge of the security of the divine kingdom for the past three years and know the streets and alleys of the divine kingdom like the back of my hand. Let me take the female master there.”
Duan Si: "They only know what's in the open, but I know many secret places where no one is around."
Mu Ling: "You guys are all too slow, and the female lead doesn't want outsiders to know she's back, so it's better if I teleport to take her around."
Lu Liufeng: "The airspace is the domain of the divine kingdom. No beast guards other than those of the divine palace are allowed to hover in the air. Why don't you, the female master, look down at this divine kingdom from the air?"
Cecilia frowned. "What's so interesting about the Kingdom of Gods? Why not go to the Divine Lake? The Dragon Fish Palace in the Boundless Sea is exquisite, with sparkling pearls and colorful corals. It's much more beautiful than the land."
Haisia nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, why don't we go to the sacred lake?"
Camille pursed his lips, about to speak, when Jiang Xi quickly interrupted their chatter.
"We can go together."
She was puzzled.
Didn't we all travel together in the past?
The atmosphere fell silent for a brief moment.
Lu Liufeng: "Then the female master should rest for a while and take a stroll around the palace. I'll have someone prepare lunch. You can go wherever you want after lunch."
Jiang Xi naturally agreed.
She also has a lot to do.
But soon, she lost interest in doing anything.
"Why are you following me?"
Everyone who had finished their short meeting followed.
When Lu Liufeng said he was going to arrange lunch, he only asked someone to prepare it, while he himself followed closely beside her, not moving an inch.
Every now and then, Osiris would appear, trying to take his hand, only to be grabbed by someone else.
Jiang Xi stood under the statue, covering her face.
"You can go ahead and get busy."
Such a vast divine kingdom must have many things to do.
"Just leave a few people with me, the rest of you can go and get busy."
Yi Yuexi raised a brow with her fox-like eyes, asking expectantly, "Then who does the female master want to stay?"
Jiang Xi's gaze swept over everyone.
Mu Ling and Nakan still had flushed faces from the alcohol and needed to go back to rest.
Nafiel and Duan Si are in charge of security; one of them can stay...
She randomly selected three people.
"Then let's go with Lu Liufeng, Yi Yuexi, and Nafi'er."
Mu Ling walked over in a few steps, and before anyone could react, he pounced on the female master's feet, knelt down, hugged her legs, and began to act out his drunken antics.
"Doesn't the female master love me anymore? Why don't you want me to stay?"
Nakan stared at Mu Ling for two seconds, then followed suit and knelt down with lightning speed, grabbing the female master's other leg.
"My lady, don't you love me anymore...?"
Jiang Xi: "..."
Her legs felt like they were filled with lead; she couldn't move them or push them away.
Duan Si tried to pull Mu Ling, but Mu Ling clung tightly to the female lead's leg. If he didn't let go, he could only pull the female lead around wildly, forcing him to give up.
"Mu Ling! If you've had too much to drink, go to sleep. Don't cause trouble here."
Mu Ling: "I didn't drink too much. I just miss the female master. I don't want to be separated from her. What if she disappears again after we're separated?"
He tilted his head back, his gray-blue eyes slightly hazy with alcohol, and looked at the female master. He took her hand, rested his chin on it, and rubbed against her like a puppy.
"Please don't send me away, Mistress."
Nakan, channeling his inner repeater, cried out, "Mistress, don't send me away."
Nafiel: "..."
However, Nakan's antics also drew the female master's attention more to the twins.
Jiang Xi sighed inwardly, finally understanding why they had stopped moving.
"Alright, alright, you can follow if you want."
She placed her hands on Mu Ling and Nakan's hair respectively, ruffled them, and smiled.
"Don't worry, I won't leave this time."
Yi Yuexi kicked Mu Ling.
"Get out of the way! Don't block the female master's path."
Mu Ling hesitated for a while before finally standing up and taking the center position, holding the female protagonist's hand.
Now, the glares directed at him were even more piercing.
Nakan also tried to reach for the other hand, but before he could touch it, Nafiel pulled him back.
Then, Osiris led him up.
Nakan looked at Nafiel with a puzzled expression.
Nafiel said calmly, "You'll find out tonight."
Tonight, Mu Ling will definitely disappear from the Divine Palace.
The statue stands atop the temple, entwined with vines that glow with a vibrant green light.
The once small mother tree, climbing the chasm beneath the holy statue, like the mother tree of the Giant Tree Royal Court, its vines climbed upwards along the interior of the mountain, all the way to the holy statue at the highest point.
The emerald green vines swayed and stretched out from the hole under the statue, affectionately wrapping around Jiang Xi's fingers.
