Chapter 63 The Female Envoy Must Not Be Questioned
Doesn't it snow in the Cursed Land?
Even with her vision obscured by the wind and snow, Jiang Xi could still see that the Cursed Land remained a dark red expanse, showing no signs of being covered by snow.
Lu Liufeng, carrying the female master, controlled the distance and flew back and forth along a direction parallel to the protective wall.
His sharp eagle eyes peered through the wind and snow toward the cursed land, and he grunted in response.
"The Cursed Land remains unchanged."
In fact, he had a vague guess in his heart, but he couldn't confirm it, nor could he possibly confirm it.
Jiang Xi looked at the blurry red in the wind and snow, and wanted to get a little closer.
"Let's go a little further."
But this time, Lu Liufeng did not agree.
"Mistress, it's too dangerous."
Jiang Xi nestled among the feathers on his neck and said, "Just a little bit!"
"If I feel unwell, I will definitely tell you!"
Lu Liufeng subconsciously didn't want the female lead to get close to danger, but he was also afraid that she would be unhappy.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then we can only do it a little bit."
Jiang Xi nodded.
Lu Liufeng flew over in an S-shaped path at a very slow speed.
He kept a close eye on the movements on his back, and when he heard a muffled groan from behind, he immediately moved away before the female could speak.
"Mistress, what happened?"
Jiang Xi covered her chest with one hand and her head with the other.
Just now, a heart-pounding "thump!" suddenly struck her mind, causing her to instantly cover her head.
But right now, all that's left in the air is the howling of the wind and snow.
The "thump!" of the heartbeat vanished as if it had never happened.
Jiang Xi slowly shook her head. "I'm fine."
But as she said this, a hint of uncertainty lingered in her eyes.
As she looked toward the cursed land, she asked Lu Liufeng.
Did you hear anything just now?
That sound couldn't possibly be her imagination.
The throbbing sensation in her heart still lingered within her body.
A barely perceptible hint of fear flickered in her dark eyes.
Could this endless cursed land be inhabited by living beings?
Lu Liufeng, worried about the female master, had already flown outside the tribe and landed.
Upon hearing the female's words, the eagle's head swayed from side to side.
"No."
Jiang Xi only then noticed that he had landed.
She didn't get off; she remained seated on the eagle's back.
"How did it fall down?"
Lu Liufeng turned his eagle head back, but because of the angle, he couldn't see the female master, so he could only speak.
“I heard the female’s voice just now, and she seemed to be feeling unwell, so I flew down.”
Jiang Xi nestled in his feathers and rubbed against them.
"I'm fine."
"But as I got closer to the wall, I thought I heard a heartbeat."
"A heartbeat?" Lu Liufeng was somewhat surprised.
Jiang Xi hummed in agreement.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Shall we go take another look?"
"I want to check whether it's just my imagination or if there really is that sound."
Lu Liufeng has resisted countless cursed beast tides and even entered the cursed land from the airspace.
But the sound of a heartbeat?
He had never heard of it.
However, he did not doubt the female master, but was somewhat worried.
"Is the female master really alright?"
Jiang Xi lay on his back, reached out and touched the feathers on his neck, and said energetically.
"I'm fine, don't worry, I'm the Mistress who can detect pollution!"
Lu Liufeng is great in every way, except he worries about her too much!
It felt like I was treating her like fragile glass, afraid of breaking her if I held her in my hands, afraid of melting her if I kept her in my mouth.
She's not that delicate!
In the end, Lu Liufeng braved the wind and snow and took to the sky again, but he still emphasized the importance of being meticulous.
“I only flew over for a short while, and then I came down.”
Jiang Xi nodded and said okay.
"Just fly as close as you were before."
Of course, even closer would be fine.
However, given Lu Liufeng's personality, it will take some time for him to realize that his female master is not a fragile object.
Take your time.
You can't get fat in one bite.
But this time, Jiang Xi didn't hear that "thump!" of a heartbeat.
The only sound in the air was the howling of the wind and snow.
She saw that a fire had been lit on the altar.
The fire, tinged with a bluish hue, had been mixed with something and burned rapidly, engulfing the entire altar in no time.
Black smoke rose above the altar, stirring up the wind and snow, and drifted towards the cursed land.
Many of the orcs around the altar felt that their leader was making a mountain out of a molehill, believing that the blackfish had not been contaminated at all.
All of this was just the first thing Jiang Xi did after regaining her identity.
The purpose was to demonstrate the authority of his holy female attendant and to do whatever he wanted in the tribe.
But when the blackfish turned into black water in the fire and burned with a "whoosh," the faces of all the orcs changed.
One of the orcs took a few steps back in terror, then quickly turned around, leaped off the wall, transformed into his beast form, and ran towards his home.
Leader Rupert looked at the other orcs and said coldly.
“I know that some of you, like him, must have secretly kept the fish. If you don’t want your fish to be contaminated, hand them over immediately!”
Thanks to the Jehol Valley, the food problem for this winter has been solved.
However, females and beastmen cannot eat only vegetables without oil; they also need meat to replenish their energy.
For some orcs who lack the ability to hunt in the snow, these fish are nothing short of a savior.
Rupert had guessed that some orcs would secretly stay behind, but he hadn't expected there to be so many.
He watched as the orcs on the wall leaped down one by one, and sighed deeply.
Rupert turned and knelt before the six-winged white lion statue outside the altar, and prayed.
"By the Beast God, bless the Lion Roar tribe and help them overcome this crisis."
The other orcs also knelt down one by one and prayed.
"By the Beast God, bless the Lion Roar tribe and help them overcome this crisis."
"..."
The orcs' prayers, like chanting, mingled with the wind and snow, and swirled into the air.
After praying, Rupert stood up and looked solemnly at everyone.
“I know that many of you orcs still hold prejudices against Jiang Xi, but that’s all in the past.”
"Now, the female messenger has regained her outward spiritual power. She is a traveler chosen by the Mother Tree to descend upon the earth, bringing food to the Lion's Roar tribe and discovering the black fish contamination that entered the walls..."
"This is the blessing of the mother tree, and the protection of the beast god."
"I don't want any more questioning of the female envoy to appear in the tribe."
Rupert's gaze swept across the faces of the orcs one by one.
Some of the orcs wore expressions of indifference.
He knew this was because the cursed land had never seen a holy female, and even the Mother Tree of Life was unwilling to take root there to protect females and offspring.
Therefore, due to preconceived notions, they did not think it was a big deal.
Rupert's tone became more forceful.
"This is the first time a female messenger has descended since the Cursed Lands appeared, the first time she has received the Mother Tree's favor, and the first time she has descended upon our Lion's Roar tribe!"
