Chapter 162 People from the Holy City
"Yao, people from the Holy City have arrived."
Chu Xinyao pushed Hu Xiao's huge head aside in annoyance. He blinked innocently, seemingly not understanding what he had done to offend her.
Just then, Shemo walked in with a gloomy face, his dark expression instantly freezing the previously relaxed atmosphere.
Hu Xiao immediately straightened up. Seeing that She Mo's expression was not good, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Mo, does the Holy City not agree to us opening a school?"
After a moment's thought, Chu Xinyao realized that this was the only thing that had caused them a stir recently.
Shemo shook his head and said, "The Holy City only said they wanted to see the Goddess of Childbirth, but they didn't mention the school."
"see me?"
Chu Xinyao frowned slightly. Since the purpose of the meeting was to see the Goddess of Childbirth, then it must be for the sake of the child.
She subconsciously touched her slightly protruding belly. Since becoming pregnant, she had been sleepy and her body had become unusually tired.
"Alright, you can make the arrangements!" She looked at She Mo with eyes full of trust.
She Mo nodded and turned to make arrangements, but Chu Xinyao stopped him again: "Mo, no matter what the Holy City's intentions are, we cannot let them disrupt our plans. The school must continue to move forward."
She Mo stopped and looked back at Chu Xinyao, then nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I'll handle it."
After Shemo left, Chu Xinyao sat back down in her chair and gently rubbed her temples, trying to relieve her fatigue.
"Yaoyao, are you feeling unwell?" Hu Xiao asked with concern, his voice filled with worry and heartache.
He reached out and rubbed Chu Xinyao's temples with just the right amount of pressure—neither painful nor soothing.
His warm and broad palms conveyed a sense of reassurance, which helped Chu Xinyao relax her tense nerves a little.
Chu Xinyao turned her head and smiled at him. Although her smile carried a hint of fatigue, it was still bright and beautiful, as if it could dispel all gloom.
She said softly, "It's alright."
"It's still quite hot today. Let me help you back. Shemo can bring his people later."
Chu Xinyao thought about it and felt that Hu Xiao's words made sense, so she nodded in agreement.
She stood up, stretched slightly, and walked towards the courtyard with Hu Xiao.
Just as I returned to the courtyard, Snake Ink sent word that the orcs from the Holy City had arrived at the courtyard gate.
Chu Xinyao's heart tightened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She changed her appearance and sat quietly in the chair, waiting.
Hu Xiao and Yu Zijing sat on either side of her, their eyes filled with vigilance. Even Hu Yi, who had been busy lately, stayed by her side.
Chu Xinyao is their pillar of strength; as long as she is there, they have nothing to fear.
A moment later, Snake Ink led in several tall orcs.
These orcs were burly, with well-defined muscles, and their animal skins exuded a wild aura.
A male orc had a hint of arrogance in his eyes, but he softened his expression slightly when he saw Chu Xinyao.
She Mo walked ahead with a serious expression. He nodded slightly to Chu Xinyao as a greeting, and then stepped back to Chu Xinyao's side.
Fish Bubble followed the group of orcs in, raised his hand, and gestured for everyone to sit down.
"My lords, let me introduce you. This is Chu Xinyao, the Beast-Giving Goddess of our Yao Tribe Alliance. These are her beast husbands. She Mo is the first beast husband, as you all know."
Fish Bubble introduced the two parties.
The orc leading the Holy City was named Xika. He was burly and muscular, like a moving mountain, with a pair of large, bell-like eyes that shone with a sharp light.
At this moment, he looked at Chu Xinyao with some surprise, astonished by her youth and beauty.
The reputation of the Goddess Who Sends Off Children has already spread throughout the entire continent.
But the Chu Xinyao in front of him was clearly still a young woman in the prime of her life, yet she could have such a high status, which was hard for him to believe.
Shemo sat next to Chu Xinyao. He had known Xika for a long time, but he had not seen him since he and Chu Xinyao became a couple.
Now that they meet again, Xika finds that he can no longer discern Shemo's rank. Shemo was originally quite strong, reaching the eighth rank, the same level as him, but after forming a partnership, his strength has increased by leaps and bounds.
His aura became increasingly powerful yet restrained, no longer as flamboyant as before, but rather like a dormant volcano, ready to erupt with astonishing power at any moment.
Xika was shocked. Could it be that Shemo had really broken through to that realm? No, impossible. Without the Holy Son and Holy Daughter, how could they, as non-Holy City tribes, possibly break through to that realm!
But when he saw that the other two male beastmen who were sent to deliver the child were no weaker than Snake Ink, Xika's shock was beyond measure.
The three of them standing together resembled three majestic mountains guarding Chu Xinyao, inspiring a sense of awe in Xika.
Aside from the beautiful fox clan member next to her, what is so magical about this Yao tribe alliance that it has gathered so many powerful individuals here?
Xika wondered to himself, "Could they really be hiding some secret that allows these male orcs to improve their strength so quickly?"
Long Wu, standing beside Xika, noticed that Xika was staring intently at the beautiful Chu Xinyao, paying no attention to the purpose of their trip.
He was secretly anxious, knowing the importance of this mission and that he could not let Xika's loss of composure ruin everything.
Then, he narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them, and said coldly, "Empress Dowager, the Holy City requests your presence there."
Chu Xinyao turned to look at Long Wu and said calmly, "I am not fit for a long journey right now, you should all turn back!"
She picked up the floral tea beside her, its fragrant aroma rising gently, seemingly highlighting her composure and elegance even more perfectly. She took a small sip, the tea flowing slowly in her mouth, as if savoring everything in this world.
"You..." Long Wu suddenly stood up, his aura surging instantly. The chair behind him was knocked to the ground by the force of his movement, making a loud "bang".
His eyes were filled with disbelief; he never expected that Chu Xinyao would so readily reject their invitation.
In his mind, the invitation from the Holy City was the highest honor, and any tribe would accept it without hesitation.
But now, Chu Xinyao's rejection was like a slap in the face to him, making him lose face completely.
Upon seeing this, the orcs behind Longwu also revealed their anger. They clenched their fists, their muscles tense, as if they could unleash powerful force at any moment.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared intently at Chu Xinyao and her group, as if he wanted to tear them to pieces.
The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense and volatile, so much so that you could hear a pin drop.
The beastmen around Chu Xinyao also sprang into action instantly. She Mo leaned forward slightly, his eyes flashing with a cold light, like two sharp daggers, piercing straight towards Long Wu.
Yu Zijing then nimbly leaped in front of Chu Xinyao, her body moving like a gentle breeze, gracefully tracing a beautiful arc.
Tiger Roar stood directly in front of Chu Xinyao, crouching slightly, his hands clenched into fists, his muscles bulging like a volcano about to erupt, ready to unleash powerful force at any moment.
