Chapter 139 Departure from the Glacier
Lu Liufeng didn't say much and left the house with Mu Ling.
But he paused for a moment as soon as he stepped outside.
In the courtyard, Yi Yuexi stood in the snow, snowflakes falling on her shoulders and hair. It was unclear how long she had been standing there.
Lu Liufeng could vaguely guess the reason, but since Yi Yuexi didn't speak, he wouldn't meddle and ask, only offering a reminder.
"The female master has gone to sleep. You should all go to sleep early too, as we'll be setting off early tomorrow morning."
He reminded them that no one was allowed to disturb the mistress that night.
As he finished speaking, Hollen walked in from outside the courtyard as if he had lost his soul, and unconsciously headed towards the direction of the mistress's house.
Lu Liufeng unleashed a wind blade, which then collided with the golden blade.
Hollen suddenly snapped out of his daze, looked up, met Lu Liufeng's gaze, nodded, and turned back to his room.
In the courtyard, the animal handlers in each house were all in a state of turmoil.
Lu Liufeng is worried about what dangers he will encounter on his journey to the icy river.
The other beastmen, though in disarray, each had their own unique strengths.
But they all boil down to two words—female master.
After being comforted by Lu Liufeng, Jiang Xi slept soundly.
After getting up in the morning, washing up, eating noodles with meat, and asking my neighbor Mary to keep an eye on the house for me, I was ready to set off!
Jiang Xi slept well, but the four beast husbands didn't sleep very well.
All four of them had light bruises under their eyes, with Lu Liufeng and Yi Yuexi's fair skin making the bruises more noticeable.
Jiang Xi looked at the two of them and couldn't help but ask.
Didn't you sleep well last night?
Yi Yuexi's fox-like eyes flickered, and she looked away, somewhat afraid to look at her mistress, and mumbled a vague "hmm".
last night……
He dreamed of the female master.
Her snow-white skin was tinged with red, her lips were a deep, dark hue, and her eyes, shimmering with a captivating light, gazed at him.
The moment he saw the female master, those enchanting images flooded his mind, making him feel somewhat agitated.
Lu Liufeng adjusted the animal skin hat on the female master's head and sighed softly.
"I was a little worried, so I didn't sleep very well."
Jiang Xi smiled and rubbed her face against his hand.
"Don't worry, let's go."
As the saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way," and "When the boat reaches the bridge, it will straighten itself."
Mu Ling took the female master's hand very naturally.
"The female master is right!"
Jiang Xi: "?"
She lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on their clasped hands.
No, that's right. Why are you holding my hand?
She tried to shake it off, but couldn't.
Just then, Rupert came up from the glacier in the backyard and asked.
"Is the female master ready?"
Jiang Xi quickly replied, "Okay, okay."
At this moment, Lu Liufeng looked at Mu Ling.
"Mu Ling, the snow is deep by the icy river. Transform into your beast form and take the female master with you."
After he finished speaking, he explained to the female master.
“The glacier’s unusual movements are probably hard to detect from the sky, so it might be more convenient for the female to ride on Mu Ling’s back this time.”
Jiang Xi nodded, indicating that she understood.
Mu Ling was naturally willing, but he felt inexplicably uncomfortable listening to Lu Liufeng's arrangements.
Before he could speak, Lu Liufeng continued.
“If you don’t want to, you can have Hollen bring the female master.”
Actually, Huo Lun is a better choice than Mu Ling.
It integrates offense and defense, ensuring the female owner's safety in the first instance no matter what happens.
But the main reason he chose Mu Ling, besides his feelings for the female master, was his bloodline talent.
In case of an accident, even if he cannot protect the female protagonist, he can immediately take her away from the battlefield and protect her.
Upon hearing his words, Mu Ling immediately lost her temper and quickly replied.
"I change, I change."
Hollen's lips, which had just opened, closed again.
Yi Yuexi silently followed.
She couldn't help but think to herself, "Is he really that bad? He's not even a backup option."
The group, carrying their luggage, descended from the backyard to the glacier.
A large group of orcs were already standing on the glacier.
As they drew closer, the figures of the crowd grew larger and larger in Jiang Xi's eyes, so tall that she felt as if she had wandered into a land of giants.
Rupert did not go on this trip; instead, he was led by Hong, who was also the first female's beast husband.
Jiang Xi and Hong had met before and exchanged greetings.
Hong then introduced the remaining orcs to Jiang Xi one by one.
Including Lu Liufeng and his four beastmen, there are a total of thirty beastmen, twenty of whom are at the third tier and the remaining ten are at the second tier.
The entire Lion's Roar tribe has fewer than a hundred people in the third tier, so sending twenty people is enough to show the Lion's Roar tribe's attitude towards this trip.
Lu Liufeng glanced at each of the orcs and nodded in approval, acknowledging the strength of the team.
He greeted everyone one by one.
Aside from Hong, Kangya, Carter, and Gazi whom she had met a few times, Jiang Xi didn't recognize anyone else, so she simply nodded.
At this moment, a middle-aged orc with short orange hair suddenly pulled a fair-skinned young orc with the same hair color out of the group and introduced him to Jiang Xi.
“This is my son with Elder Chen Yun, Chen Yang.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the young man again.
"Chen Yang, hurry up and pay your respects to the female envoy."
Jiang Xi: "..."
She said that when they met in the air that day, Chen Yun suddenly mentioned her son who was traveling with her.
That's the reason, it's because of feelings.
Chen Yang's gaze fell on the female envoy's extremely beautiful face, and he lowered his head somewhat shyly, bowing in greeting.
"The female is good."
Jiang Xi nodded, without saying anything more.
Jiaxi, who was standing to the side, was kicked by his father, Hong, and had no choice but to step forward and bow awkwardly.
“Female messenger, I am Gasi.”
Jiang Xi nodded in agreement, treating everyone the same.
Even in the world of orcs, where fathers and sons are intertwined, human relationships and social dynamics are still essential.
However, as long as they don't drag the team down, Jiang Xi will just pretend not to see them.
The other elders no longer had any unmarried sons of marriageable age; those accompanying them were mostly their daughters' husbands.
This trip was dangerous, but it was also an opportunity to win the favor of the female envoy, so many old men took the opportunity to enter.
However, their abilities are indeed powerful enough to meet the team's standards.
After the initial introductions of the personnel, the group prepared to set off.
Mu Ling transformed into a giant gray wolf, crouched down, and let the female master sit on his back.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Jiang Xi tried to climb up twice but failed, and was so embarrassed that she scratched the ground with her toes.
Fortunately, Lu Liufeng quickly helped her up.
Jiang Xi sat on the warm, fluffy back, pretending not to notice the gazes falling on her, and looked towards the glacier before speaking.
Let's go!
Suddenly, a splashing sound rang out, and a red figure slowly emerged from the water.
Jiang Xi looked over subconsciously.
Then, he met the gaze of a handsome young man with red hair and red eyes.
The young man's muscular upper body was bare, and light red fins flared slightly by his ears in the wind and snow.
