Chapter 75 Hiding Under the Beastman's Wings
Jiang Xi: "?"
Before she could speak, Mu Ling roared, "Come on then! Who's afraid of who?!"
He appeared on the ice in a flash.
Yi Yuexi also stepped through the snowflakes and quickly flew over.
Jiang Xi covered her face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
When will these two childish kids ever grow up?
At that moment, Hollen's voice suddenly rang out.
"My lady, should I go?"
Jiang Xi slowly raised her eyes and looked at him.
The man's neck and sharp jawline were covered with shimmering golden scales, and his golden hair was dazzling. His turquoise lion eyes stared at her, as if he would charge forward and start a three-way battle at her command.
Jiang Xi thought about it and still refused him.
"Forget it, your combat strength is stronger than theirs. Your joining would easily cause an imbalance. Let them play by themselves."
Although Yi Yuexi's punches and kicks were not as powerful as Mu Ling's, his Ice Blue Snowflakes were extremely sharp.
It won't be easy for Mu Ling to gain an advantage under him.
Snowflakes fell, and the two figures on the frozen river occasionally flashed together, accompanied by the sounds of wind, snow, and chirping like little kids.
Come on!
Come on!
Don't think I wouldn't dare hurt you!
"I'm afraid of you!"
but……
As the battle intensified, Jiang Xi discovered that the recovery speed of her healing abilities had increased again.
She seemed to be deep in thought.
Could it be that the more intense the battle and the more the beastmen use their superpowers, the faster she will recover?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Liufeng asked her a question.
"Did the female master discover anything?"
Jiang Xi quickly shook her head.
"No, no, I was just thinking that if they keep fighting like this, my restored mental strength might not be enough to heal their injuries..."
She didn't intend to tell them about the idea that the more intense the better.
Right now, it's a fight between family members, so everyone's holding back.
If she lets them fight fiercely, and things go too far and someone dies, that would be terrible.
After all, she is the female ruler. As long as she speaks, they will definitely beat her without restraint and give her the desired effect.
But when they encounter outsiders, they will fight with all their might without her saying a word.
So, let's not say anything more, and let's not stir things up.
Peace and friendship.
Peace and Love~
The feeling of regaining her strength was so wonderful that she patted Lu Liufeng's hand, asking him to put her down.
"Put me down, I'm fine now."
It's kind of embarrassing to keep holding him like this.
Lu Liufeng hummed in agreement, but although he put the female protagonist down, he kept his arm gently around her waist to prevent her from falling backward.
Jiang Xi leaned against him, his drooping feather wings enveloping half of her body, making her feel warm and cozy.
This made her instinctively snuggle closer to him.
Lu Liufeng noticed the female master's movement, lowered his eyes, smiled, and moved his wings forward, almost completely enveloping the female master.
Jiang Xi fluttered against his wings, revealing a fluffy head, and grinned at him.
Hollen stood to the side, feeling awkward and unsure where to look.
Watch the battle on the glacier; there's nothing interesting there.
Look at the female protagonist and Lu Liufeng beside her; he seems superfluous and shouldn't be here. He's just getting in the way.
Hollen had never felt this neglect before, and a strange emptiness filled his heart.
This winter is really cold.
However, someone quickly came to his rescue.
When Hollen discovered that there were about a dozen orcs heading back upstream of the glacier, he immediately spoke up, interrupting the sweet moment between the female master and Lu Liufeng.
"The orcs who went to investigate the blackfish have returned!!"
Jiang Xi looked in the direction Hollen was pointing, unaware of his strange enthusiasm.
Lu Liufeng did notice it.
He sighed inwardly, feeling as if he had known it all along.
The first female beast, Hong, descended from the sky.
He glanced at the glacier with some surprise, even though the beastmen in the tribe often fought over the female ruler.
But... it's rare to see a fight this fierce.
However, since the other party was a female envoy, Hong didn't say anything, but simply told the female envoy about his search along the river with his men.
"We searched all night but couldn't find the blackfish. We're preparing to come back and pack our bags. We'll send out two teams to search upstream in Mangjiao and downstream in the airspace to see if there's any blackfish contamination in these two tribes."
Jiang Xi emerged from under Lu Liufeng's wings and stood beside him.
She nodded. She couldn't help with this kind of thing, so she could only say a few polite words.
"Thank you for your hard work, if..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xi suddenly sensed a presence.
That aura she sensed yesterday after Lu Liufeng and the others came into contact with the black fish—and it was much stronger! Much stronger!!
Moreover, this aura arrived just as the orcs who had gone out with Hong approached.
Jiang Xi instantly became alert.
She gripped Lu Liufeng's hand tightly, squeezing it twice, then looked at Hong and quickly gave him a wink.
Lu Liufeng sensed something was wrong. He lowered his eyes, picked up the female master, and used the wind to quickly retreat towards the icy river.
Hong wasn't stupid. When the female envoy winked at him, he knew that she must have discovered something, and it was related to pollution.
As Lu Liufeng carried the female envoy away from the accompanying beastmen and quickly retreated towards the glacier, he realized that the problem lay with the accompanying beastmen.
Jiang Xi stepped back and shouted loudly.
"Scatter! Something's fishy about them!!"
The golden scales that had just faded from Hollen's neck instantly reappeared, golden light swirling around him, his azure lion eyes sweeping over the orcs.
The dozen or so orcs stared at each other blankly for a moment, then slowly dispersed.
They set off for the glacier to search for it before they cooked the blackfish yesterday.
Therefore, they were unaware of what happened to the tribe later.
Apart from Hong, the other orcs still held a skeptical attitude towards Jiang Xi.
They always believed that it was the chieftain and the leader who were causing unrest in the tribe in order to please the female envoy.
They had been searching all night and were exhausted. All they wanted was to go back, have some hot food, and get a good night's sleep.
But the thought that Hong would organize two more teams to search in the direction of Mangjiao and Lingkong tribes filled them with inexplicable irritation and dissatisfaction.
This awful weather! A round trip by ground would take at least a month, and we don't even know if they'll come back alive. It's so annoying!
But when a beastman thought this way, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if the cold wind was penetrating to his bones.
The orc stared blankly down at his chest, where he saw a black, withered hand piercing through his chest, with a bright red heart beating in its palm.
A scream of "Ah—" came from who-knows-who.
The orcs retreated in terror, simultaneously unleashing their powers and striking towards the black hand.
