Chapter 298 A Plan to Turn the Tide
In the end, apart from Jiang Xi, only Lu Liufeng and Yi Yuexi wore the outer robes sent by the royal court.
Jiang Xi's outfit also included a gorgeous gold-green inner dress, but she didn't wear it. She was still wearing the aura-blocking dress from the Tree God Tribe underneath, only covering the gold-green robe of the royal court on the outside.
The robe was very long, and in the morning sunlight, the green branches on it seemed to come alive, swaying and full of vitality.
The gold and green colors made Jiang Xi's already fair skin appear even more radiant and alluring.
Camus looked at her and nodded in satisfaction.
As soon as Jiang Xi stepped outside, she noticed several flower-decorated carriages pulled by light-gold deer parked outside the palace.
That feeling of unease was getting stronger and stronger.
Mu Ling saw the floats and deer and curiously circled around them a few times.
"It's actually quite pretty."
As he spoke, he looked up at the female master.
"Queen, when we return to the Lion's Roar tribe, let's get a few of these floats too."
The golden deer rolled its eyes at him.
Those ignorant earth-beastmen, do they think they can make this so easily?
Several orcs brought up two floral crowns, one with more golden vines and the other with more fresh flowers.
Camus picked up the crown with the most flowers and put it on the queen's hair.
Jiang Xi quickly took a step back and reached out to catch it.
"I'll do it myself."
Camus pursed his lips, didn't insist, and handed her the flower crown.
Jiang Xi then handed the flower crown to Lu Liufeng.
"Help me put it on, I can't see~"
Camus's expression instantly darkened, but he didn't retaliate.
After all, today is his big day.
Lu Liufeng picked up the flower crown and placed it on the female master's head.
The female ruler doesn't usually wear jewels and flowers like other females, but this floral crown made her already beautiful appearance even more radiant and charming.
Her dark eyes sparkled, her lips were crimson, and her skin was snow-white; she was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Mu Ling squeezed through and curiously touched the flower on the female's corolla.
"They're real flowers?"
Camus frowned.
"It's so rough, don't touch it!"
Mu Ling pursed her lips and asked again.
"Do I have one? The robe is ugly, but I can still wear the flower crown."
Camus replied curtly, "No!"
After saying that, he handed another crown of golden vines with more flowers to Jiang Xi, and then bent down.
"Help me put it on."
Mu Ling was eager to try it, and poked the female master with his finger, meaning that he wanted to wear it.
Jiang Xi: "..."
She ignored his ADHD and placed the flower crown on Camus's head.
Yi Yuexi looked at the robes and floral crowns worn by the female master and Camus, both of the same style, and stroked her chin thoughtfully.
Compared to the robes of the Queen and Camille, the robes of these beastmen were much simpler, with more green than gold, and no animal embroidery.
He pulled Lu Liufeng aside and lowered his voice.
"Don't you think there's something strange about today's parade?"
"It doesn't feel like a trip to a holy site to pray for blessings, but rather like... celebrating the king's wedding?"
Lu Liufeng's eyes flickered.
His amber eyes glanced at the floats not far away, where the female lead was arguing with Camus about how to allocate the seats.
Camus wanted to ride alone in the first carriage with the female, but she refused and wanted to ride in the back carriage with them.
Lu Liufeng withdrew his gaze and sighed.
"I just received news that, in addition to the nine beast races, the Holy City also has the Holy Queen and four Holy Favored Females."
"What!"
Yi Yuexi was shocked.
Duan Si also looked over, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
Nakan was somewhat surprised, and he looked up at Nafiel.
Naphael: "Neither the Holy Mother nor the Favored Female has anything to do with us. We are the beast husbands of the Queen. Just remember that."
Nakan scratched his head. "That's not what I meant."
"I'm just... I'm just a little worried."
"I heard that the female master's mother was the previous Holy Mother, and that the female master was exiled by the current Holy Mother."
“You know the status and position of the Holy Mother, and I’m afraid the Queen will be wronged.”
Nafiel: "The Cursed Land is not the Holy City. The Holy Maiden is in the Cursed Land, but she is just a female."
Despite saying that, Nakan was still worried.
Nafiel: "Get on the float, Lu Liufeng already has a plan."
Nakan looked completely bewildered.
"What method..."
Can you please not only say half of what you mean?
He tried to understand it carefully, but he still couldn't grasp the specific meaning from the bottom of his heart.
On the other end, Yi Yuexi's face was grim.
"What is the Holy Mother doing in the cursed land? This will restrict the status of the female ruler and the sinful female..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized.
He glanced at Camus, who was not far away.
"you mean……"
Lu Liufeng hummed in agreement.
"Camille has already brought the gift to our doorstep; there's no reason not to accept it."
At this moment, he was actually somewhat relieved that Camus had lost his memories of the Holy City and was preoccupied with remarrying the female master.
The identities of a sinful female and a sinful beast are neither particularly significant nor insignificant.
However, they will inevitably be subject to the temple's control in some aspects.
The female protagonist needs a completely new identity to deal with all of this.
Of course, since Camus was keeping it a secret, Lu Liufeng would pretend to be oblivious and act as if he knew nothing.
Since he didn't explain it clearly, it doesn't mean they took advantage of him.
At the very front of the float, Jiang Xi firmly refused.
"What's the point of me riding in the lead car with you! No way! You ride by yourself!"
Camille glanced behind her and conceded.
"Let Lu Liufeng ride with you in the lead car."
“You are a favored female. If you sit in the back, it will make it seem like our royal court is neglecting you.”
Camus knew that if he told her the truth, she would definitely turn around and leave.
But he must remove Jiang Xi's identity as a sinful woman before the Holy Mother arrives.
Otherwise, if too many people get involved, things will become complicated and not so easy to solve.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Xi nodded.
"Oh well."
Mu Ling had already boarded the second float and was warmly inviting the female master.
"My lady, come and sit here~"
Yi Yuexi grabbed the handrail and came up, letting out a yelp.
"Move over a bit! Don't push me!"
Mu Ling frowned: "Yi Yuexi, could you please sit somewhere else? This is the Mistress's seat."
Yi Yuexi picked at her ears.
"Stop making noise, the female master won't sit with you."
Finally, Jiang Xi led Lu Liufeng onto the lead car.
She sat in the middle, with Lu Liufeng and Camus on her left and right.
Mu Ling and Yi Yuexi in the second car.
The third car: Duan Si, Nafi'er, and Nakan.
Alvino was about to get into the fourth car when he was stopped by the St. Deer Guard.
"Sorry, you are not the female servant's beast husband, so you cannot be paraded through the streets."
Alvino's expression shifted.
"Who cares!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
As the floats left the royal court, Nicola stood with Taff on the palace steps behind them, her face grim.
She glanced displeasedly at a beastman beside her.
"What's going on! Why hasn't the Holy Mother arrived yet!"
The beastman whispered, "The Holy Maiden has been staying in the Tree God Tribe for a few days..."
Nicola's brows furrowed even deeper.
"It's the Tree God Tribe again! They really don't know what's good for them!"
She looked around. "Where's Joyce? Send him back to the Tree God Tribe. If he can't get this done, he can forget about staying by my side!"
Her several beast husbands also looked around, their faces full of doubt.
"It was just here a moment ago."
Nicola said impatiently, "Find him, make my point clear, and make him set off back to the Tree God Tribe today."
After saying that, she narrowed her eyes and looked at the blond beastman next to her.
"How are the preparations going at the Qi Palace?"
The blond beastman laughed and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"My lady can rest assured that I will handle things properly."
Nicola touched his face and chuckled, but her voice was icy cold.
"If Jiang Xi and Camus successfully get married, then your marriage contract can be dissolved."
The blond beastman's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
"Please rest assured, Mistress."
