Chapter 290 Tensions Rise
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Mu Ling appeared before everyone. He was shirtless, and the gray lines and spots of light on his bulging muscles had not yet faded, reflecting the starlight in the twilight.
He saw everyone standing in the courtyard, paused for two seconds, and then looked at Lu Liufeng.
"I'm so hungry, is there any leftover food in the kitchen?"
Mu Ling's appearance broke the tense atmosphere in the courtyard.
At that moment, the sound of orcs' orderly footsteps could be heard outside.
Camus entered with the Holy Deer Guards.
After looking around, he sat down at the head of the dining table in the courtyard, leaned back in his chair, and tapped his fingers on the table.
"Sit down, everyone. What are you standing for?"
He had a headache all day, and hearing the news of these female masters' beast husbands' indecent behavior only made him more irritable.
Lu Liufeng looked at Mu Ling first.
“We haven’t eaten yet, there’s no time to cook, go to Dobin’s and buy some.”
Mu Ling is fast and has just entered the fourth major stage. He has a lot of wolf-like energy that he doesn't know where to use, so it's more appropriate to send him to buy food.
Mu Ling was surprised.
"Haven't eaten yet?"
He turned to look into the dark room. "Has the mistress not eaten yet?"
Lu Liufeng nodded, stuffed a bag of shell coins into his hand, and looking at his bare upper body, said again.
"Put on some clothes before you go."
As dusk and night blend together, it is the time for the royal court's nightlife to begin. At the Great Tree Inn, countless orcs and females are drinking and eating meat.
Some promiscuous orcs with female masters will flirt with other females under the cover of night.
Mu Ling should dress more conservatively, lest something goes wrong and become unmanageable.
Mu Ling tossed the seashell coins in her hand, glanced at the dark house behind her, and said reluctantly.
"All right."
He was very unhappy that he didn't see the female master immediately when he opened his eyes.
But then he thought, what if the female owner wakes up when he comes back with food?
Mu Ling disappeared from the spot.
Lu Liufeng walked to the dining table, looked at Camus, and spoke in a cold, emotionless voice.
"I asked Yang to pass on a message to you: the female master is not available right now. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Camus looked at him, his voice equally cold.
"What I want to talk about is the matter of the female master."
Lu Liufeng took a deep breath.
"Camille, the affairs of the female master have nothing to do with you."
Camus gave a cold laugh.
"You think it's okay just because you say so? You're just a beast husband of the female master, don't overstep your bounds."
Lu Liufeng: "You are the one who overstepped the mark."
"When the former Holy Mother passed away, the Queen lost her outward spiritual power. Not only did you not help her, but after the marriage was dissolved, you also took advantage of her misfortune, exiling her to the cursed land instead of just banishing her from the Holy City."
“What kind of place is the Cursed Land? If the female master hadn’t restored her outward spiritual power and discovered edible food in the Jehol Valley, she might not have survived this winter.”
"You were the ones who wanted to dissolve the marriage contract in the first place, you were the ones who united with the Holy City to send the females to the cursed land, and now you're all rushing to cling to them. Can't you feel a little bit guilty?"
Lu Liufeng was usually not easily angered, but in recent days, he had been irritated by the behavior of Camus and Alvino.
Furthermore, the female protagonist is no longer the same as before, and no matter what they do now, it cannot make up for it.
Then it should be cut off completely.
Camus paused, taken aback by what he heard.
His emerald green eyes narrowed slightly as he looked up at him.
"What do you mean?"
"You mean I caused her to be exiled to the cursed land?"
Yi Yuexi smiled and spoke in the Yin-Yang Dao.
"Who doesn't know that the Giant Tree Royal Court, the Holy City, and the Boundless Sea hold the greatest decision-making power in the Cursed Land?"
"Don't tell me you, Giant Wood King, don't know?"
"The Sinful Beasts and Sinful Hens of the Cursed Lands want to leave, but your Giantwood Forest is the only way."
As she spoke, Yi Yuexi stretched.
"Oh dear, I almost forgot. I'm a Sin Beast now. Unless I complete the contribution points, all three of you need to pass through simultaneously to shed my Sin Beast status and leave the Cursed Land."
Lu Liufeng looked at Camus and said, word by word.
"After treating you, Haisia, and Alvino, we will return to the Lion's Roar Tribe. The Queen will not stay in the royal court, so you don't need to waste your time. Whether your amnesia is real or fake, the Queen will not stay for you."
Camus pursed his lips.
He had no memory of the things Lu Liufeng mentioned.
But he believed there must be some misunderstanding.
Once he regains his memory, the truth will come out.
After a moment of silence, he looked at Lu Liufeng, his voice firm.
"I cannot let the Mistress return to the cursed land."
Duan Si's snake-like eyes turned cold.
"You don't necessarily intend to force us to stay here, do you?"
Camus glanced at him sideways.
“Those two guys from Fengshan and Nightmare Swamp have already arrived at the Lion's Roar Tribe. If you don’t want the female master to run into them, it’s best not to go back.”
"Although I don't remember them, the orcs of the Nightmare Swamp are skilled in poison and cruel in their methods. They won't be as easy to talk to as I am."
"Without the royal court, I cannot protect the mistress."
Nafer stepped forward.
“The female master doesn’t need your protection. As her beast husbands, we will naturally risk our lives to protect her.”
Camus looked at him and gave a cold laugh.
"You think you can rely on the Earth Rank of your Serpent Clan after their fusion?"
Nakan quickly stepped forward and puffed out his chest.
"Yes! Our Serpent Clan can skip ranks!"
In the Cursed Land, those at the Earth Rank can now roam freely.
Camus scoffed.
"Don't underestimate any ancient beast race. They have more ways to deal with other races than you can imagine."
As he spoke, he paused slightly and glanced at Alvino.
"Don't you think so, Alvino?"
Alvino's eyes darkened.
I don't understand what you're talking about.
Camus stood up and dusted off his robe.
Whether you understand or not, only you know.
He looked at Lu Liufeng.
"Since none of us can sit down and talk calmly today, let's wait until the female master wakes up before we talk."
"On the entire orc continent, only I, the Giant Wood King, can protect the female master and ensure her lifelong peace of mind."
After saying that, Camus glanced at the orcs and turned to leave.
Lu Liufeng's thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his face was unpleasant.
Yi Yuexi shrugged, looking relaxed.
"What about those old birds in Fengshan? What about those poisonous insects in Nightmare Swamp? It's as if the Cursed Land is their territory."
"If we can't beat them, we'll just unleash the cursed beasts."
The Cursed Lands may not have much else, but they are teeming with cursed beasts.
It's still a cursed beast that endlessly revives and relentlessly attacks.
Nakan also has a good attitude.
"And what about our Python Tribe! If they knew that our brothers had married the Holy Favored Female, they would definitely revere her and never allow any beastman to run wild against her in the Cursed Land!"
As they were talking, the aroma of roasted meat suddenly filled the air.
The next second, Mu Ling appeared in the yard carrying a large basket of roasted meat and slammed it heavily onto the table with a thud.
He breathed heavily, "I'm exhausted."
"Luckily, the charcoal fire at Duobin's place burned from morning till night, and the barbecue was always on the fire without interruption, otherwise we really wouldn't have been able to eat in such a short time."
After Mu Ling finished speaking, seeing that everyone was standing still, he chuckled.
"What, you've gotten so used to good food that you can't stand barbecue anymore?"
"With the mistress gone, Lu Liufeng won't spoil us. Let's just eat whatever's available. We should be grateful that we have anything to eat at all."
Looking at his carefree attitude, Yi Yuexi sighed and shook her head.
"You really only think about eating and sleeping."
Lu Liufeng: "Let's all eat."
"We can talk about it after the female master wakes up."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Alvino.
"Aren't you leaving yet? Are you staying for dinner?"
