Chapter 45 Squeezing Into You
When Jiang Xi came out after taking a shower, she found Lu Liufeng at home.
She was somewhat surprised.
"You're back so soon?"
Lu Liufeng shook his head.
"There are some things I'd like to ask the female master's opinion on."
Jiang Xi rarely saw Lu Liufeng like this.
She sat down by the fire pit and asked curiously.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Liufeng first raised his hand, letting the wind bypass the warmth of the fire pit and caress the female master's wet hair, before telling her what had just happened and his opinion.
Yi Yuexi clicked his tongue inwardly as he watched Lu Liufeng's skillful movements, and then spoke up in response to Lu Liufeng's words.
"Her status as a favored female has already attracted the attention of the entire Cursed Land, and even the Giant Tree Forest."
"If word gets out that we've touched the fourth major order, it will probably attract the attention of the Holy City, and even the great clans of our ancestral lands."
Holy City...
Jiang Xi parted her lips slightly, silently murmuring those two words.
The memories of the holy city have gradually faded.
Although, if she had the chance in the future, she would like to visit this sacred city of the orc world.
But she didn't want to go back in her original identity and get involved with those beastmen and females again.
Therefore, she did not want to attract the attention of the Holy City.
"The matter of the fourth stage should not be spread."
“But…” Jiang Xi paused, “It’s probably not easy to keep this matter of external affairs a secret.”
"When I first combed Duan Si's hair in the Rehe Valley, all the snake-beast people in the Rehe Valley saw it."
Upon hearing this, Lu Liufeng's expression turned somewhat solemn.
Yi Yuexi felt that, compared to the fourth major stage, the external manifestation was not so troublesome.
"At most, it just means we accept a few more duels."
Whether it's her status as a favored female or the outward appearance of her being groomed, it signifies that in the coming days, countless orcs will flock to her, seeking her favor.
The female master now only has five beastmen by her side, and Duan Si has been unable to leave the Hot River Valley all winter, while Holen has disappeared without a trace, so only the three beastmen can bear the burden.
However, which favored female doesn't have ten or eight powerful beast husbands by her side?
If there truly is someone as powerful as them, they are willing to accept them.
"On the bright side, it's winter now, the roads are impassable, and we only have to face the orcs of the Lion's Roar tribe."
When spring arrives and the news spreads, the Lion's Roar tribe will likely face the largest orc invasion in its history.
Jiang Xi didn't think that tidying up the external appearance would be a problem.
After all, managing the orcs' abilities would also benefit her.
As her healing abilities improve, she will be able to process more and more orcs each day, and eventually, she will inevitably begin processing orcs other than her beast husbands.
"Hmm... how about we say that the reason my outward spiritual power suddenly disappeared when I was in the Holy City was because of the accidental explosion of the guiding stone?"
"The rest is up to them to guess."
Secrets always need a little bit of mystery to remain truly enigmatic.
“But…” Lu Liufeng looked at the female master.
"In that case, the chief female might want to contribute points to get the female master to help the orcs in the tribe who do not have a female master to develop their supernatural abilities."
The thought of such a thing happening made Lu Liufeng somewhat reluctant.
Yi Yuexi's relationship with him was still far from settled, and she was unwilling to get involved.
"You want the female master to groom them? No way!"
Jiang Xi told Lu Liufeng that she could improve her mental strength through mental cultivation.
"Right now I can't manage too many orcs, but later on, the more orcs I manage, the better it will be for my mental strength."
Lu Liufeng pursed his lips.
But... in that case, those orcs would be clinging to the female master for the rest of their lives.
But he will obey the female master's decision, even if he doesn't want to.
"Liu Feng understands. I will explain the situation to the Chief and the Leader."
Lu Liufeng got up and prepared to go out.
Jiang Xi thought of the memories she had seen and wanted to call out to him, but after thinking about it, she decided to wait until it was evening when they were alone before saying so.
Currently, Yi Yuexi is still inside the fire room.
Since he is going to dissolve the marriage contract, there are some secrets that are not suitable for him to know.
After Lu Liufeng left, Yi Yuexi saw the female master sitting by the fire in a daze, and couldn't help but stare at her, also lost in thought.
The whiteness on the female's face increased, and after the scabs from the poisonous bumps fell off, only black marks remained. The white and black intertwined, creating a contradictory sense of mystery.
It made him want to see her clearly, to sketch out her appearance.
Jiang Xi's thoughts were in turmoil, but her mind was blank, unable to hold onto anything.
She stood up and looked at Yi Yuexi.
"Shall we cook?"
When your mind is a mess, doing things that don't require thinking can be very fulfilling.
Yi Yuexi met those dark eyes and lowered her fox-like eyes guiltily.
"Okay, okay."
hateful!
He was completely engrossed in watching it!
There's absolutely nothing to see here!
Yi Yuexi repeated this to herself over and over again.
The result of using the water vat in the yard for bathing was that the two of them had to carry the vegetables to the icy river behind the yard to wash them.
A gust of cold wind blew outside, and Jiang Xi shivered.
She wrapped the animal hide tightly and waited for Yi Yuexi to melt the ice.
He possesses ice and snow powers, and his control over glaciers is certainly stronger than that of ordinary orcs.
But Jiang Xi saw that Yi Yuexi raised her hand and waved out several ice-blue snowflakes, which began to cut along the ice surface with a "crunching" sound.
She paused for a moment, "Isn't your special ability ice and snow?"
Yi Yuexi: "There is only snow, no ice."
Jiang Xi's eyes showed even greater confusion. "Aren't these two the same thing?"
Yi Yuexi raised her fox-like eyes and looked over.
"Does the female master think I'm too weak?"
Jiang Xi quickly waved her hand.
"No, no."
Even in the apocalypse, there are people with superpowers, and superpowers within the same system are interconnected.
She had witnessed a supernatural snowfall; when she woke up the next day, the zombies in the ruins had all turned into ice sculptures.
That's amazing.
Combined with the weather, it can kill silently.
So she subconsciously assumed that Yi Yuexi was the same.
But Yi Yuexi was different from Lu Liufeng, so Jiang Xi stopped there and didn't continue the conversation.
Lu Liufeng returned quickly; the two had just finished washing the vegetables when he was already back in the yard.
He reached out and took the bamboo sieve from the mistress's hand, which was used to drain water, and first told her an interesting story.
"At the First Female's place, there are only orcs who have gone there to 'seek justice'."
Jiang Xi was surprised, "They're back already?"
Lu Liufeng laughed and said, "I went in first, and they arrived right after me."
"So I came back before I even had a chance to say anything."
Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing as they headed towards the kitchen, Yi Yuexi felt inexplicably annoyed.
They're all beasts, so why the discrimination?
He thought this way and did it that way, walking directly over and squeezing between the female master and Lu Liufeng, and speaking very naturally.
"What are you saying? I want to hear it too."
Jiang Xi looked at Yi Yuexi, who had squeezed in, and remained silent for a moment.
"...Let's talk about the Jehol Valley."
Lu Liufeng gave him a scrutinizing look, his eyes flashing.
