Chapter 127 Let Me Carry the Female Master Away
"What?"
Jiang Xi didn't react at first and looked over in a daze.
"Where did this rabbit come from?"
Duan Si and Lu Liufeng had already smelled Nakan's scent from above.
Seeing that Duan Si's expression was not good, Yves did not say that it was sent by Nakan, but only tentatively said that...
"Maybe someone sent it?"
"Who sent it?" Jiang Xi was even more confused.
Who would give her a rabbit?
Soon, the image of that red figure appeared in her mind.
She was about to suggest that it might be Nakan, but then she felt that it would be presumptuous of her to say that, so she said...
"Let's leave it there for now and see if anyone comes back looking for it."
"Mu Ling went fishing; we'll have fish for lunch."
Regardless of who gave you this rabbit, it's best not to eat it.
Thinking of Nakan, Jiang Xi walked over to Yves's location and asked him in a low voice.
“Yves, do you know where Nakan usually is?”
Although she lowered her voice, Duan Si and Lu Liufeng could still hear her.
The two of them glanced sideways and pricked up their ears.
Then they heard the female say something.
"I want to return the scales to him."
Duan Si pursed his lips and swam over.
"My lady, I will take you to him."
The Jehol Valley is only so big, there are always traces to follow.
When Jiang Xi saw that he was willing, her dark eyes lit up instantly.
Lu Liufeng, however, was a little worried.
After all, Duan Si had just injured the female master.
After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Yves.
“Yves, you usually get along well with Nakan, could you please come along to look for him as well?”
Yves was naturally willing, but Duan Si's expression darkened.
"You don't trust me?" He stared at Lu Liufeng with his scarlet snake eyes.
Lu Liufeng met his eyes directly without looking away.
"I don't distrust you, it's just that having another orc to help will make things more efficient."
"After lunch, we have to go back. We don't have much time to look for Nakan."
Of course, he was indeed worried about him.
But despite his concerns, he wouldn't be foolish enough to say it aloud.
Yves stood there, somewhat embarrassed.
The two small green snakes coiled in his hand also sensed the unusual atmosphere and timidly stopped trying to go down to find the fragrant female master.
Jiang Xi quickly spoke up to ease the tension.
"With Yves here, if we come across any ingredients later, we can pick some and bring them back. More people means more strength."
Duan Si pursed his thin lips into a straight line, turned around, and swam directly into the woods.
Jiang Xi knew that this meant she had agreed.
Before she left, she saw the taro flower in Lu Liufeng's hand and gave him some instructions.
"Let's make the taro flowers when I get back. They cook quickly, but if you don't handle them properly, they can cause numbness and itching. I'll help you with that when I get back."
Lu Liufeng nodded, his amber eyes lowered, and looked at the female master.
“Mistress, be careful on the road. Remember to come back for lunch. If you can’t find Nakan, you can return him to him next time you come.”
Jiang Xi smiled at him.
"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
She called out to Yves and gave him a slightly apologetic smile.
"Please bear with Duan Si's temper."
Yves quickly waved his hand.
"It's alright, it's alright, let's go."
Two small green snakes poked their heads out, blinking their big eyes.
"Fragrant Mistress~"
"Fragrant Mistress~"
The meaning is self-evident.
Jiang Xi stretched out her hand, and two small green snakes whimpered and slithered along her arm.
Finally, it swam up to my shoulder and curled up obediently.
When Jiang Xi and Yves found Duan Si in the woods, he was leaning against a tree with his arms crossed, and spoke indifferently.
“There’s Nakan here; he was here today.”
This place is not far from the riverbank; in fact, you can see a large stretch of riverbank just by looking down.
Jiang Xi stared blankly at the riverbank.
If she remembered correctly, it was around here that she felt the red scales on her waist getting hot.
For a moment, her feelings were mixed.
So, was Nakhan here back then?
Were those two rabbits also delivered by him?
Yves noticed that the female envoy's expression was a little off and asked her what was wrong.
"Did the female envoy discover anything?"
Duan Si looked over, his scarlet snake eyes narrowing slightly.
Jiang Xi quickly shook her head.
"No, no."
"Let's keep looking."
After saying that, she turned and walked into the woods, but as soon as she stepped out, her waist was suddenly wrapped around.
As she lowered her head, a thick, black-scaled snake tail wrapped around her waist and pulled her back slightly.
Jiang Xi looked up at Duan Si with a somewhat blank expression.
Duan Si: "The female master's two legs are too slow."
Jiang Xi thought for a moment and then tentatively spoke.
"Then you'll transform into a snake?"
She was sitting on his head?
Duan Si: "It takes up too much space; if it moves quickly, it will destroy the forest."
Jiang Xi was even more confused.
"What should we do then?!"
This won't do, that won't do! Does Duan Si really want to help her find Nakan?
Duan Si, with a slight increase in strength, pulled the snake tail wrapped around the female master towards himself.
“I can hold the female master.”
"Huh?" Jiang Xi's dark eyes widened, and she was completely stunned.
Yves quickly spoke up.
"I think it's a good idea! If Duan Si carries the female master, we can be much faster!"
As he was talking, he brought up Lu Liufeng.
"Lu Liufeng said that we have to go back for lunch, and after lunch you have to go back to the Lion Roar Tribe."
Yves realized that Duan Si had no intention of breaking off his marriage contract with the female envoy!
He wasn't an oblivious beastman; they were both snake people, and he didn't mind lending a hand.
Of course, more importantly, it was to build a good relationship with the female envoy's family.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xi nodded.
She lifted her foot and walked towards Duan Si, but the snake tail wrapped around her waist, though not weighing her down, made it difficult for her to walk.
She stopped and couldn't help but say.
"Duan Si, could you please put your tail back first?"
Seeing that she was walking in his direction, Duan Si obediently tucked in his tail, lazily landed on the ground, and swayed it gently from side to side.
Jiang Xi walked up to Duan Si.
As far as the eye could see, there was the young man's bare upper body, with smooth and beautiful muscle lines. He wasn't exaggeratedly muscular, but he was very powerful.
With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, below her mermaid line, black scales spread downwards, making Jiang Xi inexplicably afraid to look down.
She took a deep breath and told herself that it was just a hug.
She looked up, about to speak, when a strong, powerful arm wrapped around her waist and lifted her feet off the ground.
Jiang Xi gasped softly, and losing her balance, she had to quickly wrap her arms around Duan Si's neck.
This resulted in the two of them being pressed tightly together.
The skin pressed against mine felt cool, but my heartbeat was strong.
Jiang Xi settled down amidst the pounding of her heart.
Once she was settled, she noticed that Duan Si was holding her like a child, with her sitting on his forearm.
This meant that with just a slight tilt of her head, she came into close contact with those scarlet snake eyes.
In the crimson light, her snow-white face was reflected, and her dark pupils were slits. When they met, she felt a chill run down her spine, as if she were being stared at.
Jiang Xi froze, quickly averting her gaze to look ahead.
"Let's...let's go."
Duan Si's sharp Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he let out a soft "hmm".
