Chapter 373 Refusing to Leave
"Riley, how are you feeling right now?"
Riley covered his head and collapsed back onto the sofa, speaking indistinctly.
"Not good."
Jiang Xi touched his forehead and used her healing ability to probe him again and again, but there was no problem inside or out.
She looked at him, her gaze gradually shifting from worry to suspicion.
"Is it really that bad?"
Riley grunted, slightly lifting his eyelids to peek through his fingers.
Jiang Xi immediately caught him peeking, her dark eyes widened, and she immediately tried to pull him away.
"Riley! You did it again!"
She raised her hand to hit him.
Riley quickly sat up and raised his hand to cover his face.
"Don't hit me, don't hit me! If you ruin my face, you'll be the one who suffers."
Jiang Xi pulled him up and pushed him outside.
"If you have nothing else to do, hurry up and get out of here! Hurry up and finish that noisy construction you're doing there! It's driving me crazy every day."
Riley leaned back as if she wasn't standing, resting her head on Jiang Xi's shoulder and continuing to cover her head.
"I feel really dizzy."
"Lu Liufeng chopped me up like this, you have to take responsibility for me."
Jiang Xi was impossible to persuade, and she couldn't win an argument with her.
She stepped back, causing Riley to lose his balance against her, and staggered back a few steps, almost falling.
Without the support of strength, Riley finally managed to stand firm.
But after standing still for only a short while, he sat down again, spreading his arms out over the back of the sofa, crossing his legs, and comfortably leaning back on the sofa.
"Oh dear, it's so noisy over there that's giving me a headache. Let me find some peace and quiet here. We'll be neighbors from now on, we'll run into each other all the time."
“And…” He stomped on the carpet beneath his feet.
"I brought you so many good things from the Giant Tree Forest, don't be so heartless."
Jiang Xi didn't fall for his trap.
"This is what the tribe traded for with you in exchange for land!"
Riley touched his nose.
"Why distinguish between yours and mine? What's mine is yours too."
When Nakan saw that Riley was being a scoundrel, he tried to chase him away, but Nafiel held him back.
“Naffel?” he asked, puzzled.
Nafi pursed his lips. "Riley has a lot of shell coins."
Nakan: "..."
"Naffier, when did you become so greedy?"
Nafiel: "Shell coins are a good thing; they can make the mistress live a comfortable life."
The house was practically empty just a few days ago, but after Riley arrived with a truckload of fabrics, spices, and utensils, it was transformed in an instant.
The carpet was laid out, the bed sheets were made, and even the quilt was prepared.
Every time they slept on the third floor, it was so comfortable that they didn't want to go back to their own rooms.
It's not that they didn't have anything to furnish their rooms, but rather that they were too lazy to do so. Wherever the female slept, that was their warm nest.
While Jiang Xi and Riley were arguing, Mu Ling suddenly appeared and returned home.
He threw the vines covered in soil onto the ground and rushed forward to check if the female was injured.
Jiang Xi was tossed and turned by him, and when she saw the dirt on the carpet, she couldn't stand it anymore.
"Mu Ling!! The carpet is covered in dirt!! Go clean it for me!!"
Mu Ling picked up the female master with one arm and carried her to the backyard with the other vine.
"When Lu Liufeng comes back, let him blow it dry. I'm too slow at packing."
Jiang Xi held his shoulder and pinched his ear.
"Go clean up!"
Mu Ling feigned pain and shrank back, but did not put the female down. His wolf eyes gleamed, and instead showed a hint of excitement.
"I'll clean up after I plant this vine."
"Mistress, where should we plant it?"
Jiang Xi: "Put it down, I'll have Nakan plant it, you go and clean up."
Nakan stepped forward, saying, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
Mu Ling: "No way! I dug it up, so I have to plant it myself."
He didn't mention the Holy City because he had decided to do something naughty that night, and if he did, the female master would definitely not allow it.
Jiang Xi had no choice but to point him to a spot in the corner and tell him to plant it.
"We'll make some trellises out of bamboo or wood another day, so the vines can climb up them."
Mu Ling hummed twice and casually planted it.
At this moment, Riley diligently brought out the carpet.
"Is this place okay, Tudou?"
Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, then Mu Ling shouted, "I can do it myself!"
That way, the female master will definitely think he's lazy!
That wretched Riley!
Riley smiled as he cleaned the carpet, then looked towards himself in the backyard and made a suggestion.
"There's no need to block this area anymore. I'll expand the back garden and connect it with yours, making it bigger."
Nakan: "No, no, there are orc females coming and going in your area. If they get together, the female lord will never have a peaceful day."
Riley: "This is where I live; the hotel is further on."
Jiang Xi's backyard is already quite large, but with the addition of a long dining table, rattan chairs, a swing, and other items, it looks a bit cramped.
She hesitated for a moment, but still felt it was better to separate them.
"Let's put a door in the middle so we can easily communicate when needed."
Riley smiled and said okay.
As for the bottom line, it's something we keep backing down from.
Yi Yuexi couldn't teleport, so she didn't return until almost dinner time, even later than Lu Liufeng.
When Lu Liufeng returned, his clothes were neat and his hair was smooth and not messy at all, as if he had just gone out for a walk instead of fighting with the Holy Temple's Grand Protector.
Seeing that he had no external injuries, Jiang Xi helped him clean up his supernatural energy sea for a while.
The lightning in the Sea of Superpowers grew increasingly violent, sweeping across the sea like a net of lightning with devastating force.
However, these lightning bolts remained docile when they encountered her.
Jiang Xi raised her hand and touched it, feeling a tingling, electric sensation on her fingertips—it was quite strange.
Dinner was prepared by Jiang Xi, Nakan, Nafier, and Mu Ling.
Jiang Xi was in charge of directing, Nakan was in charge of cooking, Mu Ling was in charge of washing vegetables, and Nafier was in charge of chopping vegetables. They worked together very well.
Hollen was unable to eat while absorbing the sea pearl, so Jiang Xi asked Mu Ling to call Duan Si back to eat from the wall, but of course, she didn't manage to call him back.
Yi Yuexi returned carrying a basket of flowers on her back. Her clothes were torn by tree branches, and grass and twigs were stuck in her snowy hair. She looked quite disheveled.
He put the basket in the backyard and asked about what had happened that afternoon.
Jiang Xi gave a brief explanation.
In an instant, everyone turned their heads to look at Lu Liufeng.
"Lu Liufeng... Lu Liufeng, just start fighting already..."
They suddenly realized that Lu Liufeng's change was actually quite good.
Riley lingered there to finish his meal, and when he met Lu Liufeng's gaze, he quickly covered his head.
"My head is spinning."
Lu Liufeng looked at him, his long amber eyes narrowed, the coldness in them unmistakable.
Riley: "Your family's food is still the best."
Jiang Xichun pretended that he didn't exist.
After the meal, orcs came to deliver gifts to thank her and her orc husbands.
Jiang Xi didn't refuse; she accepted the small gifts like food and flowers without hesitation.
Hill also came, bringing some seedlings he had cultivated.
"Females like to eat leafy greens, so you can plant some in the yard and they'll be ready to eat in about ten days."
