Chapter 239 The Conspicuous Twins
Nafiel packed his things and swam out.
"Let's go."
It was time to check out, so we couldn't eat inside and had to eat on a wooden stake next to the tree roots.
Jiang Xi was worried that the young boss would use excuses like it was past breakfast time to embezzle her money for breakfast.
Unexpectedly, the boss took a generous break today, accepted the wooden sign, and told them to sit down and wait for their meal.
Jiang Xi, Nafiel, and Nakan sat down on a wooden stake a little distance from the roots of the big tree.
Near the roots of the big tree, some orcs were already sitting. They weren't the same group from last night, and there were few females. They all seemed to be in a hurry, eating quickly and leaving just as quickly.
When Jiang Xi sat down with two snake-beastmen, one white and one red, many beastmen glanced at her a few more times.
Not to mention, although the two snake-beastmen have different eyes and hair, and their temperaments are completely different, it is not difficult to see that their faces are similar upon closer inspection.
Twins...
The beastmen's eyes held a meaningful look, while the females' eyes were filled with envy.
A moment later, an orc brought up a large plate of roasted meat and fruits and vegetables and placed it on the wooden table.
Enjoy.
Nafiel cuts the roast meat for the mistress.
Nakan, feeling a little awkward, quickly joined in the division.
Jiang Xi didn't notice and assumed he wanted to eat it himself.
She took off her face towel, and just then, Nafer placed the cut pieces of roast meat onto her plate.
Just as she was about to eat, Nakan placed the cut-up roast meat over.
Jiang Xi froze instantly.
She looked at the plate full of small pieces of roasted meat and spoke to Nakan tactfully.
"You can eat by yourself, don't worry about me."
She wanted to say that Nafer would help her divide it, but then she felt that it was a bit cruel to say that.
The two people in front of me are twins...
Jiang Xi has a headache.
To be honest, she hadn't figured out what to do either.
She thought that by leaving the cursed land and heading to the royal court, she could avoid this matter.
But to our surprise, Nakan caught up with us so soon.
Nakan didn't understand the female envoy's refusal and laughed, "It's alright, it'll be quick to cut it."
Jiang Xi pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, but she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Nafer ate his meal in silence.
Jiang Xi looked up and saw Nafi's face, then couldn't help but look at Nakan.
After that close contact, Nafi's face was already crystal clear in her mind.
But she only realized today that Nafiel and Nakan's faces, aside from hair and eye color, are almost identical.
Jiang Xi raised her hand and covered her head.
Seriously... my memory is starting to get all messed up.
How is she supposed to face Nakan's face?
Just then, the young boss's voice rang out from not far away.
"Fresh, juicy fruit, 1 coin each, anyone interested?"
Jiang Xi looked at Nafiel and Nakan, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"Would you like some fruit?"
Nafiel shook his head. "The mistress should drink it."
Nakan hesitated for two seconds because he didn't know what water fruit was.
Jiang Xi understood immediately. She raised her hand and shouted towards the direction of the tree roots.
"Two fruits."
Riley turned his head and said, "The female and snake twins over there are two water fruits."
As soon as he finished speaking, many orcs and females turned their gazes over again.
Jiang Xi sat with her back to these people, but she could still feel countless gazes upon her.
How embarrassing...
With her snake twins by her side, she'll probably become the center of attention wherever she goes.
Not to mention...
Her gaze fell on Nafiel and Nakan's bare, beautiful muscles, and she spoke tactfully.
“We’ve entered the heart of the Giant Tree Forest. How about we find a place later and buy a couple of clothes that you can wear?”
Always naked like this...
No wonder the people around were all gloomy.
Nafiel had no objection, and Nakan naturally nodded in agreement.
Just then, Riley came over carrying two chopped pieces of fruit.
He put down the fruit and looked at the female.
Then, raising an eyebrow slightly, she finally understood why that kid was so enthusiastic.
Jiang Xi thought he was standing there for the shell coins, so she muttered to herself and took out two shell coins from her pocket, handing them to him with a pained expression.
"Here! Two!"
So expensive! So expensive! So expensive!
I'm broke! I'm broke! I'm broke!
Waaaaah.
Jiang Xi felt a pang of heartache.
But the young owner said, "He paid an extra 5 coins for the meal, so these two fruits are free for you."
Jiang Xi's dark eyes widened.
What?! This meal actually cost extra!!
She immediately looked at the young man, "Then there are three of us, you have to give us all a ride!"
We can't let ourselves be taken advantage of!
Riley: "..."
Riley, speechless, went and got another piece of fruit.
As he put down the fruit, he saw the beautiful female smiling with her eyes crinkling, and couldn't help but say something.
"You should marry a rich orc."
With such good looks, what kind of beastman couldn't she marry? Yet she ended up with two poor, stingy snake beastmen.
In the Giant Tree Forest, good looks don't put food on the table.
However... if they came from the cursed land, then it's understandable.
Jiang Xi got three free fruits, so naturally she was happy with whatever the boss said.
"Okay, okay, thank you for your suggestion. Thank you, Shui Guo Shi. I wish you a prosperous business."
Riley sensed her perfunctory attitude, didn't linger, and turned back.
Jiang Xi separated the fruit and water, giving one to each person, and then looked at Nafier and said.
"If you don't like it, just leave it here, we'll take it with us on the way."
Nafel nodded.
"good."
Nakan had never drunk this stuff before, so he imitated the female and drank it like water.
Then, he frowned slightly.
"What a strange taste."
Jiang Xi drank to her heart's content.
"If you don't like it, don't force yourself to drink it. Nafiel doesn't like it either."
It's perfectly normal for different orcs to have different taste buds.
Nakan didn't like drinking, but orcs don't have the habit of wasting food, so he gritted his teeth and gulped down the whole thing.
Jiang Xi was taking a bite of grilled meat and a sip of fruit juice.
Looking up, I saw Nakan holding a fruit bar and drinking it ravenously.
She paused for two seconds.
Didn't you dislike it...?
Nakan put down the water and fruit, looking pale and sickly.
Jiang Xi pushed Nafi's fruit to him as well.
"If you like it, there's another one."
Nakan looked at the watery fruit and felt water sloshing around inside his stomach.
Nafiel glanced at Nakan and sensed his aversion to the water fruit.
He raised his hand and pushed the fruit back in front of the female owner.
"Let's take this with us and drink it on the way."
Jiang Xi did not persist.
It's just three pieces of fruit, and they're free. Whoever wants to drink them can drink them.
Nakan breathed a sigh of relief and gave Nafiel a grateful look.
Nafi didn't even lift his eyelids.
After finishing our meal, we prepared to set off.
Jiang Xi stood in front of the wooden stake and asked about the road conditions ahead.
Riley rested his chin on his hand, glanced at her face mask, and smiled.
"How about staying a couple more days? There aren't many guests today, so the room rate is half price."
Jiang Xi's eyes widened, and her fist hardened.
"Don't stay!"
She pulled Nafiel along and called to Nakan to leave.
"A swindler!"
They're such unscrupulous merchants!
What's the 30 coins she spent yesterday!
Nafi glanced back, and Riley met his gaze, smiled, tossed the shell coin in his hand into the air, let it fall, and clapped it in his palm.
These poor orc brothers, once they enter the royal court, how can they possibly support their mistresses?
In the royal court, there are many wealthy orcs.
The big bee buzzed back.
"Huh? Where's the pretty female sister?"
Riley was tossing the shell coins around.
"They're gone."
The big bee was making a loud "waaaaa" sound.
"Riley! You'll regret this! You should show her your wealth! Only females who have never experienced a life of luxury would marry those poor, good-looking but penniless beastmen! You may not be as good-looking as that snake beastman, or as strong as that beastman, but you're rich! You're rich!"
Riley picked at his ear.
"Alright, stop arguing, it's hurting my ears."
Are we still short-staffed at our new store in Wangting?
The large bee, with its six legs, leaped and circled happily above the young man's head.
"Riley! You've finally figured it out!"
