Chapter 549 Doubts
A chilling red light suddenly flashed in Necro's eyes!

North shuddered in fright, swallowed hard, and hurriedly explained, "But, but this is just hearsay... it came from a very small number of people, and there is no conclusive evidence yet. Nobody knows whether this rumor is true or false."

"However, based on my speculation, there are no rumors without a reason, and this matter is probably true... it's just that we can't find any relevant images or data yet."

Over the past six months, Necro has sent people to search for information about the "Black and White Cat Clan" more than once. He rarely cares about anything so much, but this "Black and White Cat" has repeatedly stirred his emotions.

Necro quickly calmed himself down, closed his eyes, leaned back on the sofa, and unconsciously tapped the armrest with his fingers.

Why... could he sense a trace of Xiao Cuihua's aura on the ruler of the Night Glow Empire?
He suddenly wondered if they might be blood-related sisters.

No wonder she cared so much about the survival of the empire.

But Necro had already sent people to investigate in secret, and they had never heard of such a princess in the royal family, not even in remote collateral branches.

Or perhaps it's just a coincidence?

A deep look flashed across Necro's eyes.

Xiao Cui valued her family and friends most in life, and her dying wish was for peace in the empire, as she did not want her family and friends to die in the war.

Unfortunately, after her passing, Necro sent people to investigate her relatives and friends in an attempt to find any trace of her life, but to no avail.

He realized that he knew too little about her.

For some reason, Necro had a gut feeling that the emperor of the Night Glow Empire must have some connection with Little Cuihua.

Some problems can only be understood by seeing them with your own eyes.

It seems he needs to find an opportunity to meet the king in person.

……

At this moment, Shen Tang was unaware that someone had their eye on her. She sneezed with a "choo—" sound, and almost spilled the large basin of fertilizer she was carrying on the ground.

She hurriedly hugged the iron basin tightly, not wanting to burn the seedlings.

I grabbed a handful of fertilizer and sprinkled it around the roots of the sapling.

It would take forever for one person like Fu Teng to grow saplings, not to mention that the purified saplings need to be exported to other places to treat polluted areas, so it can't all be done by him alone.

Fortunately, the system store has now been upgraded to a premium store, with a wider variety of more advanced products, including specially formulated fertilizers for purifying tree species.

This fertilizer not only promotes tree growth but also significantly shortens the planting cycle, allowing the purification trees to reach maturity within six months.

While not as efficient as binding vines, it's still quite good.

The harsh winter has long passed, and it is now late spring and early summer.

Several spring rains fell in succession a few days ago, and the sun finally came out yesterday evening, but the soil in the fields was still a bit muddy.

The beastmen carried fertilizer through the fields, fertilizing the newly planted saplings in the area.

Shen Tang rolled up his trousers and walked back and forth in the field, his calves splattered with mud, and the soles of his shoes were heavy and covered in mud, making every step feel strenuous.

Sigh, at this moment she especially missed Jialan—if he were here, he could easily wash it clean with a water-based superpower.

Xiao Jin also transformed into a beast, carrying fertilizer and frolicking in the field.

This guy clearly used to do a lot of work. He carried the fertilizer bag on his back, poked a small hole at each end, and then evenly sprinkled the fertilizer into the tree pit through the small holes. He was the fastest at it all.

Seeing that Shen Tang seemed tired but couldn't find a suitable place to rest, Xiao Jin shook off the empty fertilizer bag and ran over to ask, "Tangtang, are you tired? Do you want me to take you back to rest?" Xue Yinzhou was coiled on a tree next to him, lazily yawning, his long snake tail hanging down like a vine, which Shen Tang could reach with one hand.

He said softly, "Come rest in the tree for a while."

Shen Tang shook her head, "I'm a little afraid of heights, so I'm not going up!"

It's a little embarrassing to admit, but this cat-beastman is actually afraid of heights. Maybe it's a trauma from the past!

Xiao Jin transformed back into human form and tried to hug her, but found that his hands were covered in mud, so he quickly ran to the nearby river to wash them.

Just then, Lu Xiao flew over, and Shen Tang climbed onto his back, letting him carry her back to the tent in the camp.

Back in the tent, Lu Xiao took out clean clothes and shoes from his spatial storage.

The weather is warm now, and even if it rains at night, it won't be too cold. Shen Tang changed into a light dress and neatly took off her dirty clothes and shoes, tossing them aside.

During this period, they often stayed here for half a month at a time, so they kept everything simple, only bringing a few changes of clothes and their usual dried meat and seasonings.

After washing his clothes by the river, Lu Xiao also prepared firewood for the evening's fire on his way back.

As the campfire was lit outside the tent and dinner preparations began, Xue Yinzhou and Xiao Jin returned.

Today it was Xueyinzhou's turn to hunt, and he brought back a rather plump prey, which he estimated to weigh at least five or six hundred pounds, enough for a dozen orcs to have a hearty meal.

With limited resources in the wild, daily meals consisted mainly of grilled meat and meat soup. There were plenty of wild fruits and vegetables in the nearby woods, which made it easy to enjoy them whether eaten with grilled meat or added to soup.

As dusk fell, clusters of campfires rose outside the tents, and five or six people sat around them. The aroma of food quickly spread, wafting for miles.

A wooden rack stands beside the campfire, used to dry freshly washed clothes. They usually dry overnight and can be worn again the next day.

Shen Tang and the beastmen sat around the campfire eating dinner, their laughter echoing through the air.

Luo Fei, watching from a distance, was filled with envy. Unfortunately, every time he tried to strike up a conversation, the beastmen protected him tightly, leaving him no chance to even get a word in edgewise.

Especially that snake beast. It's one thing for the few in the family, but if any outsider dares to approach Shen Tang, his icy gaze is as if he wants to peel the skin off the other person.

Luo Fei shivered violently, then sat down by the campfire with the wild fruit he had just picked from the bushes, intending to bring it to Shen Tang after she finished eating.

Fu Teng walked over, plopped down opposite him, picked up a fruit, and started eating it without caring about the dirt.

Although it wasn't as delicious as raw meat, he still quite liked the fruit.

Luo Fei was in a bad mood and couldn't be bothered to talk to him.

Fu Teng finished the fruit in a few bites and said lazily, "What, you've taken a fancy to my little darling? I heard you used to pursue her? What happened after that?"

Luo Fei recalled unpleasant memories, and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He picked up a fruit and took a big bite, mumbling, "I'm not exactly ugly, am I? I'm a well-known handsome young man in the Black Wind Stronghold. I heard that His Majesty's partner had died, and I was thinking of filling the vacancy, but who knew that fox was still alive."

Luo Fei never expected that the "sickly fox" he had initially thought of was actually the emperor of the Yiyuan Empire!

Since then, he has become much more well-behaved. Although he is arrogant and conceited, he still has a sense of self-awareness.

He didn't think he was bad, but compared to the other beastmen around Shen Tang, he was indeed not good enough.

Fu Teng was happy to see him humiliated, and said with a smile, "Someone like you still wants to covet my little darling? You're like a toad trying to eat swan meat. What you should do now is find a sow and have a litter of fat, healthy piglets."

Luo Fei was so angry that he immediately started a fight with him!
good night~
