Chapter 283 Uninvited Guest
Jiang Xi was somewhat confused.
She remembered that at first, she only had Lu Liufeng as her legitimate husband...
How did things develop to this point?
She didn't know either.
Lu Liufeng brought her a glass of juice.
"The female master doesn't need to think too much. If she likes him, she can let him stay; if she doesn't, she can let him leave."
"Walk?"
Jiang Xi looked up at him, her eyes filled with uncertainty and confusion.
Lu Liufeng's eyes flickered slightly.
"Yes, didn't he say that his people are also on their way to the Cursed Land? If you don't like it, just let him go back with them."
But after a pause, he continued.
"However, Yi Yuexi is now a sin beast, and if we don't have enough contribution points, we can't leave."
That being said, given the relationship between the female ruler and the royal court, breaking through the Giant Tree Forest and leaving the cursed land would be an extremely simple matter, without even needing to inform the Holy City.
Jiang Xi was even more confused.
She sat in a wicker chair, holding a bottle of juice, enjoying the cliff breeze and watching the distant mountains rise and fall.
At that moment, the wicker chair she was sitting in sank slightly.
Jiang Xi turned her head and met Hollen's turquoise lion eyes.
A gust of wind blew, making his blond hair fly, his pale skin, and his handsome and noble face flutter.
Jiang Xi looked at him, paused, and felt inexplicably nervous.
It's as if something is heading in an irreversible direction.
She looked away, took a sip of her juice, and asked.
"What's wrong?"
Hollen: "I'm leaving tomorrow."
Jiang Xi responded with an "Oh".
"Bon Voyage."
After a pause, he added, "Have Lu Liufeng prepare some convenient food for you; it's quite a long journey."
This is something everyone knows, but Jiang Xi still didn't know what to say.
Hollen hummed in agreement.
After a brief silence, he spoke again.
"I'm not leaving after I've dealt with the Golden Lion Clan."
Jiang Xi was nervously drinking her juice when she heard this. Although she didn't spit it out, she choked and coughed repeatedly, her face turning red.
"Cough, cough cough, what? What?"
She tilted her head, her dark eyes widening slightly as she looked at him.
No way... here we go again...
Hollen looked down at her; the mistress's snow-white face was flushed, and her dark eyes were glistening with moisture, making her look beautifully sparkling.
For some reason, he thought of Yi Yuexi's question earlier.
Thinking about it, he asked the question as well.
"Does the female master not like me?"
Jiang Xi: "..."
She also thought of Yi Yuexi's forced sale.
"I think..."
Hollen, afraid of hearing a rejection, quickly interrupted her.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. Tell me the answer when the female master returns to the cursed land."
Of course, once the female master returns to the cursed land, he should have severed ties with the Golden Lion Clan.
At that time, he will naturally have no choice but to stay by the female master's side.
Jiang Xi pursed her lips, looked at the unease in his eyes, and nodded.
She didn't know what she wanted to say.
She is now completely bewildered.
Hmm... how did things get to this point?
She seems to have had many questions about this.
Since Hollen was leaving, we decided to have a barbecue in the yard for dinner and invited Hill, Little Ai, and Dobin.
When the sea creatures heard about this, they sent someone to deliver a basket of fish and shrimp to them.
The ingredients arrived, but the person didn't; it showed a great sense of boundaries, which was excellent!
Camus and Alvino, having somehow heard the news, arrived one after the other shortly after the whole roasted lamb was placed on the fire.
Camus had some fruit wine brought over, while Alvino arrived empty-handed.
Jiang Xi sighed again. Not only did they come uninvited, but they were also so stingy. It would be really difficult to get anything out of Alvino.
Mu Ling is absorbing the sea pearl and has not come out.
Dobin buzzed and flapped its wings, diligently working in front of the charcoal fire, asking how to grill this and how to grill that.
After taking a couple of bites, they cheered enthusiastically.
"This is so delicious!"
"Wow, you're amazing!"
Jiang Xi had a tailor make many aprons for the beastmen in charge of the barbecue to use.
Hill took a piece and, like Lu Liufeng, wrapped it around his waist, helping with the grilling and brushing on the dipping sauce.
He would occasionally ask Lu Liufeng a question, and Lu Liufeng would teach him one by one.
Little Ai, a big, fluffy creature, couldn't stay in front of the grill for long, so she sat there holding some fruit, waiting to be eaten.
Yi Yuexi tied up his snow-white long hair, rolled up his sleeves, and loosely wore his apron, which became a fashionable item on his body.
He carried a plate and placed the freshly grilled prawns in front of the female master. Then he bent down, rested his elbows on the table, propped his chin on his palms, and looked at the female master with his fox-like eyes.
"My lady, please try this shrimp. I grilled it myself!"
After saying that, he even winked, which was as impressive as a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
Camus sat at the head of the long table, not next to Jiang Xi who was in the middle.
Seeing Yi Yuexi's attitude, he frowned deeply.
"Mistress, such a flamboyant beast husband should not have been married; he will only cause trouble for the family."
He acknowledged the likes of Lu Liufeng, a beastman from the Eagle Strait.
He also approved of twins like Nafiel and Nakan, who, despite lacking beastman background, possessed powerful bloodlines and were able to please the female master without causing trouble.
As for Duan Si, Mu Ling, and Yi Yuexi, one has an unpredictable temper, one is stupid and only has that one thing on his mind, and one is always dressed up and only goes out to spend money on clothes.
They're practically delinquent beastmen.
Jiang Xi was already speechless at Yi Yuexi, but when Camus spoke, she was even more speechless.
She turned to look at him and reiterated.
"King of Giant Trees, don't call me Mistress."
"We've dissolved our marriage, okay?"
Camus was slightly puzzled. "What does 'OK' mean?"
During this time, he often heard many strange words from her.
Jiang Xi: "OK means good or no problem."
Camus: "OK."
Jiang Xi: "?"
She turned her head to look at him, feeling that his "OK" wasn't the "OK" she thought it was.
"Are you okay?"
Why don't you call me Mistress?
Camus glanced at Ilse.
"I won't interfere with what kind of beast husband you like, OK?"
Jiang Xi raised her hand to pinch her philtrum and took a deep breath.
"You have absolutely no say in what kind of beastly husband I like!"
Yi Yuexi sat down beside her, peeled a shrimp, and thoughtfully fed it to the female master, smiling as she spoke ill of her to her face.
“Come on, Mistress, eat shrimp. Don’t talk to these wishful orcs.”
Jiang Xi was suddenly stuffed with fragrant grilled shrimp, and she chewed hard with her cheeks puffed out.
The shrimp was too big, and her mouth was stuffed full, so she could only chew while opening her eyes wide and speaking indistinctly to Yi Yuexi.
"One is too much, I can't eat it all in one bite."
Yi Yuexi rested her chin on her hand, watching the female master eat shrimp, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.
It turns out that feeding the female owner is such a joyful thing.
No wonder Lu Liufeng always liked to serve his mistress meals.
Camus picked up his spoon, tapped the plate, and spoke with a cold arrogance.
"Yi Yuexi, don't corrupt the Mistress's eating habits."
