Chapter 323 Oh my god, this is so embarrassing!
Just as Jiang Xi finished speaking, Hai Zu's voice came from outside.
"It's so slow."
Cecilia, still dressed in black, stepped inside.
Behind him followed Haisia, dressed in a crisp white linen shirt, with long, light blue hair cascading down her shoulders and a gentle smile on her face.
"You don't mind if we eat together, do you?"
Mu Ling: "I mind!"
He showed no respect whatsoever, and a hint of wariness appeared on his face.
Hai Xia's smile froze slightly, but Hai Zu had already walked over and sat down cross-legged at the low table, as if he hadn't heard Mu Ling's "mind".
Haisia pretended not to hear, walked over, and sat down.
Mu Ling: "..."
He rolled his eyes. Was it even necessary to ask?
Jiang Xi coughed strategically again to ease the atmosphere.
She looked at Haizu, "Which tribe in the Cursed Land are you going to?"
Haixia also glanced sideways at her clan ancestor, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
But the clan patriarch did not give him the answer he wanted.
“The Dark Lake Tribe,” Cecilia said.
A hint of disappointment appeared in Haixia's eyes.
He thought that the clan ancestor had changed his mind and decided to go to the Lion Roar tribe after settling down in the Chunlai tribe and waiting for Jiang Xi and the others to travel together.
Unexpectedly, it was the Dark Lake Tribe again.
Haisia lowered her eyes, wondering if she could visit the Lion's Roar Tribe after visiting the Dark Lake Tribe.
He really wanted to go to the Lion's Roar tribe to see what kind of tribe it was that could turn Jiang Xi into this state.
Jiang Xi didn't notice Hai Xiya's unusual behavior.
Upon hearing Cecilia's words, her dark eyes lit up, and her mood instantly brightened.
"Oh dear, Dark Lake Tribe is quite far from Lion Roar Tribe. After leaving Spring Lai Tribe, we may only be able to travel together for a short distance before we have to part ways."
Cecilia glanced at her and said with a half-smile, "Is that so?"
Jiang Xi nodded.
If they only travel together for a short distance, it will neither delay their attempt to intimidate the old man from the Holy Deer Clan nor affect their happy return journey.
Cecilia: "Then let's travel together for as long as we can."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Yuexi's voice rang out.
"Oh, what a rare guest!"
It was cold because of the rain. Although orcs are not afraid of the cold, Yi Yuexi still changed into a white fur-lined coat with a turn-down collar. The white fur collar made his face look even more handsome and charming.
He had a matching fluffy shawl draped over his arm, and as soon as he came in, he personally draped it over the mistress's arm, his voice gentle and tender.
"It's cold in the rain, Mistress, don't get cold."
Jiang Xi didn't actually feel cold. Her constitution had improved a lot, and after taking a hot shower, her body had warmed up.
But the fluffy shawl she wore made her feel warmer, comfortable and soft.
She didn't refuse and thanked him with a smile.
Mu Ling glanced at Yi Yuexi and sneered inwardly, "Vixen!"
The room fell silent again, and the atmosphere became somewhat strange.
Lu Liufeng spoke first, breaking the strange silence that hung in the air.
"Let's eat first. We don't know when Duan Si will be back."
Mu Ling's stomach had been growling with hunger for a long time, and upon hearing this, he immediately put a large chicken leg on the female master's plate.
"Queen, try this. It's a specialty chicken from the Chunlai tribe these days. They wrap it in some kind of grass, cover it with mud, and roast it in the fire. Everyone says it's delicious!"
Jiang Xi's eyes lit up, "Beggar's chicken?"
"Beggar's chicken?" Mu Ling hesitated for a second, then immediately nodded, "It's beggar's chicken!"
Jiang Xi also thought it was better to eat first, and since Duan Si was busy collecting lightning, she let him collect it first.
"Let's get started!"
Only after she finished speaking did the others pick up their chopsticks.
Lu Liufeng reached for the chicken leg on the female master's plate, intending to cut it into small pieces for her.
Jiang Xi quickly refused.
"Chicken drumsticks are only truly enjoyable when you hold them in your hand and eat them!"
She wiped her hands again, picked up the chicken leg, and took a big bite.
With that bite, juice instantly splattered, covering half of her face and splashing directly onto Cecilia's face diagonally opposite her.
Jiang Xi bit into a chicken leg, her dark eyes wide open.
Time seemed to stand still as all the beastmen stared at the scene, some unable to process what was happening.
Jiang Xi screamed, quickly put down the chicken leg, picked up a towel and stretched it out, trying to help him wipe it.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!" she apologized repeatedly.
The flaxen cloth was used to wipe Cecilia's cold and unapproachable face, but instead of cleaning it, it seemed to have made the area even larger.
Jiang Xi fell silent, and her wiping motion slowly came to a stop.
Cecilia closed her eyes and reached for the cloth in her hand.
"I'll do it myself."
Their fingers touched, and Jiang Xi quickly let go, holding her breath as she gently sat back down.
She watched as Cecilia used her powers to conjure some water to wipe herself, and awkwardly fiddled with the tablecloth with her fingers.
Now, even Mu Ling didn't know what to say. She sat quietly to the side, pretending nothing had happened.
The already strange atmosphere in the room became even stranger.
Fortunately, at that moment, a familiar voice came in.
"Female Envoy, this roasted berry meat is really delicious. Would you like to try some?"
Killian brought in a plate of roasted berries, without a trace of embarrassment at his uninvited arrival.
Xi Liu followed behind him, carrying several bottles of wine.
"This fruit wine is also quite good."
He said with a smile, "The Giant Tree Forest is rich in resources, and it has really opened our eyes when it comes to food."
Just as Yi Yuexi and Mu Ling were about to kick them out, they heard the female master speak enthusiastically.
"Right! I think it's delicious too. There are many more delicious things to try, you should all try them!"
Jiang Xi was just wondering where to break the awkward atmosphere when Killian and Xi Liu arrived, instantly giving her a way out.
Xi Liu was surprised to see her so enthusiastic.
But after his gaze swept over Haizu and Haixia, he knew the reason.
So he asked with a smile, "Would the female envoy mind if we sat down and ate together?"
Finally, he added, "There are many of us, but the room is a bit small, and there isn't enough room to sit over there."
Jiang Xi hesitated for two seconds, but after hearing what he said and considering the awkward atmosphere in the room, she immediately nodded.
"Sure! No problem, let's eat together, there's room here."
Mu Ling pursed her lips but didn't say anything.
But soon, he couldn't hold it in any longer.
Because he saw that Kylian went back and called Tolkien and Theodore over.
"You're here, but why are you dragging two others along with you?!"
Tolkien was somewhat embarrassed and at a loss for what to do.
Xi Liu's smile remained unchanged.
"There are eight of you here, sixteen of us over there, and four more coming over, making a total of twelve for both of you."
It's all calculated perfectly.
Nakan whispered, "Dans hasn't come back yet."
Seeing that the food would get cold if she continued talking, Jiang Xi spoke up directly.
"Please sit down, please sit down."
Two more or two less makes no difference.
The important thing is...
She glanced at Cecilia, then quickly looked away before he could look at her.
The important thing is to overshadow the fact that she splattered chicken leg juice all over Haizu's face!
Aaaaaahh ...
