Chapter 338 All Sides Gaze
Cecilia fell silent.
He felt that he might have fallen into a big pit as well.
The brunch passed by strangely amidst a complex atmosphere of warmth, silence, scrutiny, and vigilance.
But Jiang Xi didn't notice the atmosphere; instead, she felt that both the host and guests were having a good time.
She also learned a lot about construction from Malthus.
After dinner, Lu Liufeng, Duan Si, and Nafi went to receive Haizu's supernatural power training.
Mu Ling and Nakan make furniture.
Hollen and Yiyuexi assisted the female master in designing the interior decoration.
Haixia, accompanied by her sea-folk beastmen, tended to the flowers and plants along the riverbank in her backyard, treating the place as her own home.
During this time, Kangya and Carter came over and said that the chief and the chief female had heard about what happened that morning, and that from now on, beast guards would patrol the area to prevent the beastmen from disturbing the chief female.
Jiang Xi thought about it and felt that the stone path in front of the door, with its beautiful river view, should not become her private area.
She declined the offer.
Patrolling is fine, but stopping them is unnecessary.
Roads are built so that people can walk on them.
In the living room on the first floor, on a stack of animal skin mats, Jiang Xi, holding Lu Liufeng's hand, stepped on them and hopped around.
"It's very soft and has great elasticity."
"But if it's all animal hides... it feels a bit too extravagant."
A mattress made entirely of animal hides—I can't even afford to sleep on one.
Hollen laughed and said, "A lot of animal hides were delivered this morning and they're all piled up outside. We were just wondering where to use them. They're perfect for making a mattress for the female master to sleep on."
Jiang Xi hugged Yi Yuexi's neck, jumped down from the high animal skin mattress, and stood firmly on the ground.
She thought about it.
"Then don't make it so thick, make it wider and longer, and design it according to the largest beast among you."
Although the third floor is where she lives, it's impossible for her to sleep alone; their beast forms must be taken into account.
Yi Yuexi raised an eyebrow.
"Then the whole room would have to be covered with mattresses."
Jiang Xi: "..."
"Then let's take the human form as a reference."
In the end, they made a mattress that covered most of the third-floor area.
Jiang Xi remained silent for a long time, as if anyone could sleep on her bed.
Why bother with separate rooms? Everyone can just sleep on the third floor.
However, she only dared to think it in her heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.
Because she knew that if she told them, they would definitely believe it.
After all, this orderly sleeping arrangement is the result of a long struggle among the beastmen.
She didn't want to disrupt this harmony.
After finishing the animal hide mattress, Jiang Xi felt it was necessary to make a few down comforters.
Unfortunately, the tribe did not have ducks or similar prey. Other feathered prey were generally processed into hides with the feathers on, and the feathers were not separated and preserved separately.
Jiang Xi had no choice but to put the matter of the down comforter on hold for the time being.
Not far from the backyard, on the riverbank, dark clouds and rain suddenly fell, engulfing a small area. Lu Liufeng, Duan Si, and Nafi'er were already able to stand in the rain.
The torrential rain washed over their bodies, a stark contrast to the bright sunshine outside—a completely different world.
Cecilia sat leaning against the riverbank, her eyes closed as if dozing, her black scales shimmering with an eerie light underwater.
Many orcs watched from a distance on the opposite bank of the river, not daring to approach.
The entire tribe of orcs, including those from outside the tribe, knew that the Heavenly Rank cultivator from the Boundless Sea had come to the Lion's Roar tribe and even stayed at the female envoy's house.
For a time, gossip was rampant in the tribe.
Some say that this Sea Ancestor was fond of female messengers, so he chased them to the cursed land, wanting to marry them.
Some say that Haizu came to the Lion's Roar Tribe, just like the beastmen of Phoenix Mountain and Nightmare Swamp, for the cursed land. He stayed at the female messenger's house simply because there was no better house in the tribe that was worthy of his status.
However, the leader of the Lion's Roar tribe issued a death order to the orcs, forbidding them from disturbing this ancient sea ancestor.
Whether the other party stays or leaves, whether they live in the female envoy's house or elsewhere, do not try to please them by going beyond the female envoy's authority.
But despite saying that, everyone still secretly watched from a distance.
After all, this is a Heavenly Rank item!
They might not even see the Heavenly Ranks in their entire lives!
If they could glean even a glimpse into the secrets to enhancing their superpowers, they would have hope for the rest of their lives.
"It seems that Lu Liufeng and the others have already reached the fourth major stage."
"Are they trying to break through to the Earth Rank?"
"Is Haizu helping them break through?"
"How could that be? The Heavenly Ancestor wouldn't have the time for that... But then again, if he wanted to marry the Female Envoy... it's not impossible..."
"Hai Zu is already this age; if she wanted to marry a woman, she would have done so long ago."
"What if she's already been married before, and this is her second marriage?"
"Well, that's quite possible. If she remarries, the female envoy will be at a huge disadvantage. Even if he's a Heavenly Rank, how can she marry a beastman who's been married before?"
"..."
The orcs whispered among themselves on the other side of the river.
Among the orcs stood several dressed in black robes. Their faces were covered with black tattoo-like markings, and their entire bodies exuded a gloomy aura.
They all looked unwell, exchanged glances, and then withdrew from the group of beastmen.
"Damn it! A Heavenly Rank cultivator! Why would this Heavenly Rank ancestor of the Sea Clan come to the Cursed Land!"
"We must pass this message on to the young clan leader as soon as possible."
Not far from the beastmen, perched on the tops of giant trees were several small birds, some golden and some red, staring intently at the clouds and rain on the opposite bank of the river.
"Hai Zu actually helped them solidify their supernatural abilities."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't be able to get what you want."
The birds were whispering to each other.
Suddenly, a small dark cloud appeared above their heads, and the rain poured down. The birds shrieked and were splashed into the mud by the rain.
At the same time, dark clouds appeared above the heads of the retreating black-robed orcs not far away, and rain began to fall.
One by one, the orcs were slammed into the muddy ground, struggling, veins bulging on their foreheads, but they couldn't get up.
A cold voice echoed in their minds simultaneously.
"roll."
The dark clouds dissipated and the rain subsided, but the beastmen of Phoenix Mountain and Nightmare Swamp were covered in mud and trembling with fear.
Cecilia sat leaning against the riverbank, eyes closed, feigning sleep, without any change in expression.
But suddenly, he opened his azure eyes and looked towards one side of the river.
In the direction he was looking, red scales were rising from the water.
A moment later, the handsome red-haired orc emerged from the water, his ear fins unfolding and gleaming in the sunlight.
At the same time, Haixia emerged from not far from Haizu, and frowned after seeing the red figure clearly.
"Raman?"
What are you doing here?
Raman, his upper body bare, surfaced from the water, one hand pressed to his chest, and bowed in a perfectly impeccable gesture.
"Raman greets Haizu and His Highness the Prince."
Haisia pursed her lips, her expression not very good.
At this moment, the river surged, rising high like giant waves, and crashed towards Raman.
At the same time, Cecilia coldly said, "Get out!"
A giant wave crashed in and instantly submerged Raman.
The red figure struggled to maintain his balance amidst the giant waves, and just as they were about to push him away completely, Raman shouted loudly in the surging water.
"I know that guy from the Dark Lake Tribe!"
