Chapter 177 We Go Home
Mu Ling knew that now was not the time for him to act recklessly.
He could only nod, then looked at Nafer and gave him some instructions.
"Naffier, take good care of the Mistress."
Nafi hummed in agreement.
He wrapped the female completely in animal skin and turned to leave.
Jiang Xi poked her head out from under the animal skin and bid farewell to Mu Ling and the beastmen inside and outside the cave.
"See you in the tribe."
Mu Ling stood outside the cave with her hand raised, looking utterly lost.
As soon as the female envoy and the snake-man left, the beastmen immediately surrounded them, their faces full of gossip.
"Mu Ling, is that the female's new beast mate?"
Everyone hadn't had a proper rest for days; their faces were covered in stubble and their eyes were dark, but their eyes were shining brightly with a gossipy light.
Mu Ling wasn't in the mood to talk to them about these things. She scratched her head in frustration, turned around, and went into the cave.
"I'm going to sleep."
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk about it, everyone had no choice but to give up with regret.
That night, all the orcs, except for Mu Ling, slept well.
Mu Ling listened to the snoring that rose and fell in the cave, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The space in his arms was empty, and the air was devoid of the female's fragrance, filled only with the unpleasant smells of orcs, making him only want to travel back to the tribe overnight.
However, since he had no supernatural abilities, he had to give up on this idea.
The red moon hangs high.
Even though it was late at night, campfires were still lit everywhere in the Lion Roar tribe.
The houses along the river were the brightest.
Yi Yuexi stood by the door, watching the two orcs inside packing food into animal skin bags.
His usually stunningly beautiful face was now etched with weariness, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He pressed his lips together, but couldn't help speaking.
"Why can't I go?"
Lu Liufeng and Huo Lun turned around.
Both of them looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes from not having rested for many days.
Lu Liufeng looked at him and said, "A house can't be left unattended."
"If the mistress comes back and there's no one at home, she'll be worried."
Yi Yuexi's fox-like eyes were filled with anger.
Why me?!
"I also want to enter the Cursed Land, and I also want to find the Female Mistress!"
"What good will it do me to stay here, except for self-blame and unease! I can still help if I go to the Cursed Land! Even dying in the Cursed Land is better than staying here and doing nothing!"
The female master disappeared before his eyes.
He watched helplessly as the female was swallowed by the black hole that expanded from the ice crystal.
He hated himself for being unable to do anything!
I hate how weak I am!!
Hollen pursed his lips and spoke.
"Our main purpose in entering the Cursed Lands this time is to find the female master. The fewer orcs, the better. If there are too many, we won't be able to escape."
"Moreover, Lu Liufeng is right. If the female master returns and finds no one there, she will definitely panic."
Yi Yuexi gritted her teeth, turned around, and sat on the threshold with her head in her hands, looking pained.
The wind blew, and snowflakes fluttered in the courtyard.
Lu Liufeng and Huo Lun came out with the animal skin bags, stood by the door, and looked at him.
"Tell the chief again tomorrow."
The chieftain disagreed with their entry into the Cursed Lands and had already asked the orcs from the Giantwood Royal Court to return to the Royal Court to explain the situation and request assistance from the fourth-tier orcs.
So they decided to leave in the middle of the night.
The longer they wait to find the female master, the greater the harm she will suffer.
And the fact that they are still standing here safely means that the female master is still waiting for them.
Lu Liufeng looked at the red moon in the sky.
My lady, are you also gazing at the red moon, awaiting our arrival?
Mu Ling, you must protect the female master...
Hollen pursed his lips and said, "Let's go."
"If we don't leave now, we'll be discovered by the chief and the patrolling orcs, and it will take us a long time to get here."
Lu Liufeng nodded.
They bid farewell to Yi Yuexi, turned around, and walked into the wind and snow.
Yi Yuexi slammed her fist on the door in frustration.
He hated himself terribly, hated that he wasn't strong enough.
Snowflakes swirled and danced along the glacier.
Nafiel carried the female master as they hurried through the snow.
Jiang Xi remained awake, wrapped in animal skin, and did not fall asleep.
She clenched her fists and prayed incessantly.
Lu Liufeng and the others haven't left yet.
She can make it! She can make it!
You absolutely must make it!
The cursed lands are polluted and teeming with wild beasts, and the land stretches out endlessly.
Let alone finding a single person, even getting out safely is harder than climbing to heaven!
Moreover, they wanted to find her, to find someone who didn't exist in the cursed land.
After an unknown amount of time, a howl suddenly sounded from the sky, and a sky-diving orc swooped down from the sky.
"Who's there! Stop right there!"
Nafiel slowly slowed down, and Jiang Xi poked her head out from under the animal skin.
Have we arrived?
She looked up at the low sky and met the gaze of the airborne orc.
The orc was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed with delight, "Female Envoy!"
Jiang Xi quickly replied.
"Nafiel is my beast mate. He brought me back. Are Lu Liufeng and the others still in the tribe?"
The orc quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes! They haven't left yet! The chief persuaded them to stay!"
"I'll go inform the chief right away!"
After saying that, the orc quickly flew into the sky and headed towards the tribe.
Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
This place is not far from the tribe, and Jiang Xi's home is located on the glacier outside the tribe, which can already be seen.
She held out her finger, pointing in a direction for Nafer.
"That courtyard by the glacier is our home. Let's go there quickly."
A slight smile appeared on her face, and she relaxed completely.
go home.
For the first time, Jiang Xi felt the emotional sense of belonging that came with the word "home".
This is her home.
Her home is located on the banks of the glacier in the Lion Roar tribe. The yard is large and contains seven small wooden houses.
Of course, after the kitchen collapsed, only six rooms remained.
However, this is still her home.
The firelight shone through the gaps in the wooden planks of the makeshift fire room.
Jiang Xi wondered, "Aren't they asleep yet?"
Nafiel carried the female master and swam from the backyard into the yard.
But as soon as he was admitted to the hospital, icy blue snowflakes flew towards him, and at the same time, a cold voice rang out.
"who!"
With her snow-white hair and blue eyes, Yi Yuexi came out of the kitchen, looked towards the courtyard, and then froze on the spot.
The snake-beastman's aura was so strong that he didn't notice the female master immediately.
“Female…Mistress…” His lips moved, and tears welled up in his eyes instantly.
The female master sat in the arms of the strange snake-beastman, her cheeks flushed, as if she had never left.
"My lady, my lady, have you really returned?"
"No, I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Jiang Xi looked at him, her dark eyes crinkling, and smiled, "Yi Yuexi, I'm back."
She patted Nafer, wanting him to put her down, but Nafer didn't. Instead, he glanced at the surrounding houses and then said...
There are no orcs inside.
Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment.
Yi Yuexi, whose fox-like eyes were filled with tears, also reacted instantly, and her expression changed.
"Oh no! Lu Liufeng and Huo Lun have climbed onto the wall!"
Jiang Xi's face instantly lost all color.
She quickly looked up at Nafer.
"Naffel! We must go after him!"
