Chapter – 95
Each Has Their Own Thoughts
Horen’s emerald lion eyes trembled slightly.
He lifted his gaze toward Jiang Xi.
“Mistress, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Jiang Xi shook her head.
She had wanted to say something earlier, but everyone was talking over each other, so she hadn’t had the chance.
“I’m fine, I don’t feel anything. And when you were combing through my abilities in your power sea, the golden light surrounded me, helping me recover very quickly.”
“Almost every bit of my…” She started to say abilities, then immediately corrected herself.
“Ah… no, I mean mental power!”
“Almost all the mental power I used was immediately replenished in my body.”
When she helped the other beastmen comb through their abilities, whatever was spent was truly spent, and recovery was minimal.
No one noticed the little slip about “abilities,” since the mistress often said things they didn’t understand.
Everyone’s gaze then fell on Horen.
Mu Ling felt jealous again.
Jealousy never ends!!
If things went this way, in the future, wouldn’t the mistress be even more willing to let Horen comb through her powers?!
Horen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was fine.
As for the matter of the golden attribute, he didn’t intend to mention it; even if he did, he would only tell the mistress herself, not the other co-serving beastmen.
Lu Liufeng’s gaze lingered on Horen’s relieved expression.
He knew Horen was hiding something.
But since it didn’t harm the mistress and might even have some benefit, he wouldn’t press the issue.
“If we can’t figure it out, we’ll have to leave it for now.”
He added one more caution to Horen.
“However, don’t let your guard down. If anything changes, I hope you notice it in time.”
Horen nodded.
Yi Yue Xi’s fox-like eyes flickered and paused briefly on Lu Liufeng.
He knew how precious the mistress was to Lu Liufeng.
And now… he seemed to let it slide so easily?
Clearly, he knew something.
Mu Ling said, “Just leave it like that?”
“What if something happens later?”
Yi Yue Xi replied, “Then what do you suggest we do?”
“Right now, neither Horen nor the mistress sense anything unusual. We have no way to deal with it either.”
Mu Ling glared at them both with his wolf eyes.
Then he slumped a little.
“So what am I supposed to do?”
“I won’t be able to recover anymore, right?”
“There can’t possibly be an altar in the ability sea…”
As he spoke, his wolf eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had discovered some truth.
“Could it be that some beast clan is cursing me?!”
“Is that why I can’t shift into my beast form, and why there’s an altar in the ability sea?!”
Hmm…
Although it wasn’t impossible, Jiang Xi felt that probably wasn’t the reason.
“I feel…”
She touched her chin thoughtfully.
“I feel like they are praying for you, not cursing you.”
She could sense the emotions released by prayers to the gods versus curses.
As she spoke, she suddenly recalled the scene she had seen in Lu Liufeng’s mind, of people kneeling in worship.
“Just like the eagle clan in Eagle Strait kneeling before their ancestor eagle statue! Very devout!”
Now it was Yi Yue Xi’s turn to feel jealous.
“Who knows, maybe they are treating you as some kind of ancestral beast to worship!”
After all, Mu Ling was likely from the Ancestral Forest.
These words caused a two-second pause in the room.
A single room, yet countless secrets.
Horen hid his golden attribute, and Mu Ling and the others instinctively hid the fact about the Ancestral Forest.
With no solution in sight, there was nothing else to do but leave it for now.
They would try other methods later.
After breakfast, Mu Ling went hunting in the mountains.
Jiang Xi took the other three beastmen and headed toward the place where Kang Ya and Carter were being held.
On the way, they passed by Sena’s house again.
This time, there was no sound of Sena cursing.
Jiang Xi looked at Lu Liufeng thoughtfully.
“Can you sense who’s in Sena’s house?”
Lu Liufeng’s amber eyes lowered, looking at her as he asked,
“The mistress wants to treat little Di.”
Jiang Xi nodded.
She had thought of it last night but had been too caught up in unexpected events and had forgotten.
At that moment, Horen spoke.
“Sena isn’t here, but besides Quick and little Di, there are several of Sena’s other beastmen inside.”
“They’ve probably noticed our presence already.”
They were too close.
And compared to the beastmen’s aura, the aura of a female was even harder to hide.
The mistress had stood there for so long; the beastmen inside should have sensed her.
Jiang Xi frowned, unsure of what to do.
Yi Yue Xi suddenly whispered.
“The mistress go first, I’ll sneak him out.”
Jiang Xi looked at him in confusion.
Yi Yue Xi… was he under Mu Ling’s influence?
He cleared his throat, ears slightly red.
Clearly, this wasn’t his usual behavior.
“I found that after entering the ninth level, the late stage of the third major stage, I can conceal most of my aura in the snow.”
“I’ll try. The beastmen in Sena’s house shouldn’t be able to detect me.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xi’s black eyes lit up.
“Then go try! Quickly, and come back soon!”
She then led Lu Liufeng and Horen to move forward at a slow pace.
Lu Liufeng knew that, though she hadn’t shown it, she was still worried about Mu Ling, so he spoke.
“Our abilities, Yi Yue Xi’s and mine, have both greatly improved. Perhaps Mu Ling’s has too, but his newly enhanced abilities need some time to convert. His beast form can’t contain it yet, so he remains in beast shape.”
Jiang Xi listened and felt he made perfect sense.
She looked up at him and smiled.
“Maybe that’s really it!”
“Lu Liufeng, you’re so clever!”
“We’ll tell Mu Ling later!”
Lu Liufeng smiled in return.
Horen pressed his lips together, feeling oddly irritated by the scene.
Luckily, Yi Yue Xi returned quickly.
He was carrying a little lion, and as soon as he came, he hurriedly said,
“Mistress! Quick has distracted them for a while, giving little Di some time alone in the room.”
Jiang Xi didn’t say anything and immediately reached out to begin treatment.
Little Di’s round lion eyes widened instantly at the sight of the much-prettier mistress.
But his father had told him to be obedient and not ask questions, so he had to suppress his curiosity.
Jiang Xi’s ability had advanced two levels.
And since little Di had been treated once before, this time the healing was very quick, consuming little energy.
Little Di obediently thanked her.
“Thank you, Mistress.”
As Yi Yue Xi was about to leave with little Di, Horen suddenly spoke.
“Help me give Quick a message: if he needs, he can come find me.”
Just as a favor for Quick, since he had once worked under the Golden Lion Clan.
Yi Yue Xi gave him a strange look but didn’t say anything.
He nodded and quickly left.
Jiang Xi, however, was curious about what Horen meant and glanced at him.
Lu Liufeng immediately realized something. Without hesitation, he asked,
“Do you have a Golden Soul Fruit?”
