Chapter 171 The Python Tribe
Jiang Xi leaned against him, stunned for a moment.
She turned her head to look back and saw Mu Ling getting up from the ground, baring his teeth and clenching his fists.
"or……"
She was about to suggest that Mu Ling take her upstairs.
But before she could finish speaking, Mu Ling, who had just stood up, stumbled and fell forward again, even sliding down a section of the way.
Jiang Xi quickly asked, "Mu Ling, are you alright?"
Mu Ling braced herself against the slippery, thinly icy ground and stood up through gritted teeth.
"I'm fine!"
How embarrassing!
So even though he knew that the thin layer of ice was Nafer's masterpiece, he didn't say anything.
Because that would make him seem useless after losing his powers!
He had finally gained the female master's approval; the dignity of a beastly husband could not be compromised!
With a flick of its tail, Nefert embraced the female and swam up.
The thin ice gradually disappeared as he moved upwards, allowing Mu Ling to fall without further embarrassment.
He was furious, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Jiang Xi gently placed her hand on Nafi's bare shoulder. The skin was cool to the touch, but the muscle lines she inadvertently touched were full of power.
She felt a little embarrassed and looked away, avoiding his bare chest that was so close to hers.
Nafi's embrace was cold, but perhaps because of the marriage contract, Jiang Xi not only didn't feel cold, but also felt a cool and comfortable sensation.
This realization became clearer after Nafi carried her through winding tunnels and emerged onto the snow above.
The exit is a hidden tree hole.
When she emerged, the wind and snow rushed towards her, hitting Jiang Xi's face and clearing her mind, while every cell in her body sent out signals of enjoyment.
She... seems to be immune to the cold now?
Is it because of Naphel...?
Jiang Xi couldn't help but raise her gaze slightly to look at him.
Nafiel's pale lips were slightly pursed, and his light blue eyes became even more hazy and unreal under the snowstorm, making her lose herself in thought.
At that moment, Nafi lowered his long eyes, shrouded in mist amidst the wind and snow, and looked at her.
“My lady, I need to go to the Python Tribe and tell them that I am leaving this place.”
Jiang Xi snapped out of her daze and nodded quickly.
"sure."
After saying that, she apologized again.
"However, we are pressed for time and may not be able to stay with you in the tribe for a day or two to say goodbye."
Nafi shook his head slightly.
"We won't go into the tribe. We'll just find an orc outside and let them know."
"Huh?" Jiang Xi was taken aback.
"Don't you need to say goodbye to your female mother and father?"
Jiang Xi only knew that Nafiel was albino and lived near the glacier, but she was unaware of his and Nakan's family situation.
So, subconsciously, they assumed that their parents were still alive.
Nafer shook his head.
"Need not."
Jiang Xi had no choice but to agree.
Because she didn't know what to say.
However, if she thought about it carefully, she would realize that their father beast must have already passed away.
After all, the Rehe Valley was the winter habitat of the three nearby snake-beastmen tribes. If their father beasts were still alive, Jiang Xi would have been able to meet them in the Rehe Valley.
She didn't think about it for a moment, and assumed that their parents were still alive.
Every family has its own troubles.
It works in both her original world and the orc world.
Therefore, when Naphel said there was no need to say goodbye, she did not try to persuade him, but simply respected his choice.
A rustling sound came from behind.
Mu Ling, carrying an animal hide on his back, crawled out of the cave, panting heavily.
He cursed inwardly!
Can't these snakes build some normal passageways?!
There was a straight, upward-climbing passage that he almost couldn't make it to the top.
Orcs' transformations rely on supernatural abilities.
Mu Ling's powers are currently restricted, so she can't even turn parts of her hands and feet into claws.
Fortunately, he was physically fit enough to climb up with his bare hands.
Otherwise, if Nafiel were to pull him up, it would be a disgrace to the Misty Forest.
"Where to now?" Mu Ling asked, leaning against the tree trunk.
Jiang Xi explained that she needed to go to the Mangjiao tribe first.
Mu Ling nodded.
He glanced at the swirling snow, put down the animal hide on his back, and prepared to take one off to wrap around the female master to protect her from the wind and snow.
Jiang Xi quickly replied.
"Don't take it yet."
"I don't think I'm as afraid of the cold anymore."
Mu Ling was stunned for a moment.
He gave Nafer a strange look.
He's somewhat useful!
But isn't Yi Yuexi also a snowflake superpower?
Why was the female protagonist afraid of the cold before?
Is Naphel really that amazing?
Jiang Xi was also puzzled by this question.
But if I can't figure it out, I stop thinking about it.
After all, there are just too many things in this world that she can't understand!
Nafiel determined the direction and swam south with the female in his arms. Mu Ling had no choice but to run as fast as she could, otherwise she couldn't keep up at all!
Jiang Xi glanced at Mu Ling, who was carrying an animal skin and chasing after her, and then at Nafier, who was still moving at full speed. She didn't know how to start the conversation.
Should Nafiel deliver Mu Ling's message?
Neither of them would likely agree.
Then, we left the snow forest and arrived at the familiar glacier.
However, this glacial area is wider than the area near the Lion's Roar tribe.
Jiang Xi was worried that Mu Ling was expending too much energy, so she couldn't help but say something.
"Mu Ling, why don't you wait for us at the Ice River? I'll go with Nafiel."
She was going to abduct the orcs from another tribe, so she should have shown her face, both morally and logically.
Mu Ling quickly shook her head.
"no!"
His wolf-like eyes scanned Nafiel from head to toe, filled with wariness and distrust.
"What if this guy takes you back to his tribe and never comes out again!"
"Hmph! I don't believe him!"
Nafel: "Whatever."
After saying that, he didn't linger and swam out with the female in his arms.
But this time, his speed was so fast that it left afterimages.
Before Jiang Xi could even speak, she quickly buried her face in Nafi's arms amidst the biting wind and snow.
All she heard was Mu Ling's voice, coming from afar through the wind and snow.
"Don't run!!"
"Where are you taking the female master?!"
Jiang Xi wanted to speak, but she couldn't because Nafi's speed was so fast that it made a whooshing sound.
Almost instantly, they left Mu Ling far behind.
Jiang Xi was not worried that Nafiel would keep her in the tribe.
This stemmed not only from the rules of this world, but also from the slight trust she placed in his temperament.
Before long, the sound of wind and snow breaking through the air gradually subsided.
Jiang Xi knew they had arrived.
She slowly raised her head from Nafi's chest and turned to look ahead.
A tribe completely different from the Lion's Roar tribe came into her view.
Cave...
The towering stone walls are covered with caves.
Almost identical to the caves of the underground tribe, the exterior facade also features some winding passages leading upwards.
But apart from the caves, there are some stone houses standing on the flat ground below the stone walls, lined up one after another, which is extremely spectacular.
