Chapter 168 Not So Desirable
"That's not a big deal," Artis said with a smile, "as long as I can find some nice and special feathers."
A wedding dress requires a lot of feathers. Artis and Xiaomo only have seven days to make the wedding dress together, so he has to hurry.
Attis climbed up a big tree with a nimble figure. The smooth trunk posed no obstacle to him. With a little force from his strong arms, he had already reached the fork in the trunk.
The orcs' arms were so strong, Su Xiaomo exclaimed, that no matter how thick or smooth the tree trunks were, they could easily break them.
After searching in one tree, Attis went to another tree. Instead of coming down from the tree, he grabbed the branches of one tree and jumped to the trunk of another tree.
Xiaomo was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat under the tree.
Only then did she understand how the feathers for her first feather dress were obtained.
At that time, Attis's wound had not yet healed.
Such strenuous climbing and jumping would definitely cause injuries, and no one knew how he did it.
Artis had never mentioned it to her.
"Artis, be careful." Xiaomo shouted loudly under the tree.
"No problem," Artis stood on the tree trunk and looked at Xiaomo with a smile, "Don't worry, Xiaomo, if you are tired, just wait for me in the tent."
Su Xiaomo was not tired, but her heart was trembling as Attis' figure moved high up.
Although she was not afraid of heights, she could only climb on the branches of such a tall tree.
Attis, however, moved very nimbly among the branches, and occasionally he was seen bending down to pick up beautiful bird feathers.
Su Xiaomo suddenly felt that compared to the wedding dress that made her heart beat, what she hoped more was that Artis was safe.
She suddenly didn't long for her dream wedding dress so much anymore.
Even if Attis made her an ordinary animal skin coat, she would be happy to be with him on the day of their marriage.
"Artis, come down," Xiaomo shouted, "It's too dangerous, come down quickly."
Artis stood on a tree, leaned over and said to Xiaomo with a smile, "I told you, don't worry. As a beast king, if you are in danger even when climbing a tree, then you are useless."
Well, after hearing what Artis said, Su Xiaomo could only put her heart at ease.
And Artis seemed to be afraid that Xiaomo would always worry about him, so he quickened his picking up steps.
After about an hour, Artis came down from the tree.
He carried with him a hide bag filled with all kinds of feathers.
The colors are different, but not too gaudy.
The feathers that Artis chose were all soft and fluffy, so light that they seemed to float.
In addition, there are a few red fruits at the bottom of the bag.
"Xiaomo, I picked some fruit for you," Artis said with a smile, "Wait for me, I'll go to the waterfall and wash it for you."
"I want to go too," Xiaomo said, envious of the rushing water of the waterfall, "I want to see if the waterfall is high."
"Okay." Artis agreed readily, holding Xiaomo's hand and walking towards the water.
The waterfall is not wide, so it doesn't look that majestic.
But the huge drop in height and the splashing water mist still made Su Xiaomo feel that her cheeks were immediately covered with a layer of fine water droplets.
In this warm and beautiful place, the mist makes people feel like they are in a fairyland surrounded by clouds and fog.
"Ha, Artis, the water is so cool," Su Xiaomo smiled and stretched out her hand to catch the pouring water. "This water is so clear, it must be very sweet."
I really want to have a taste.
"The water is too cold, don't drink it," Artis looked at Xiaomo lovingly, "The fruit has been washed, eat this to quench your thirst first, I'll ask the guards to boil water later, and you can drink it later."
Ever since Xiaomo complained of a stomachache last time, Artis had been paying attention all the time to prevent Xiaomo from coming into contact with too many cold and hard objects.
This waterfall comes down from the top of the mountain and is formed by the confluence of mountain spring water. It is naturally sweet and refreshing.
But it was late autumn now, and even though the temperature in Niaomingjian was just right, Artis was still worried that Xiaomo would get a stomachache after drinking the cold water.
Artis handed the fruit to Xiaomo.
This fruit is bright red in color, sweet in taste, and juicy, similar to the grapes in our current society.
But it's about the same size as an apple.
It tastes really delicious.
"Xiaomo, let's go back to the tent and rest for a while," Artis said, "You must be tired from looking up at me for so long."
Xiaomo bit the fruit and raised her mouth slightly, smiling.
Artis not only picked up the feathers, but also watched her secretly.
I have to say, my neck is really tired after looking up for so long.
Su Xiaomo and Artis walked to the tent.
She took off her shoes and walked into the tent.
The outer layer of the tent is a thin layer of animal skin that allows light to pass through, so it is not dark inside the tent at all.
The inside of the tent was covered with thick animal fur, which was soft and comfortable.
Artis also put a soft pillow in it.
As soon as I entered, I wanted to lie down on it and sleep.
Xiaomo didn't care much, since she and Artis were very familiar with each other. She immediately lay down on the soft animal skin mat.
It’s so comfortable.
Xiaomo lay on the pillow.
Such a comfortable little pillow and cushion are perfect for a good sleep.
The tent is also spacious and can accommodate two or three people at the same time.
Xiaomo lay down for a while, preparing to make room for Artis.
Artis did not come in.
Xiaomo stood up and turned to look outside.
Artis was outside the tent, sorting the feathers he had collected.
"Artis, you," Xiaomo invited shyly, "you, don't you want to take a rest?"
It seems inappropriate for Attis to sit outside such a big tent.
Moreover, this is the tent he prepared.
The pillows in the tent were very small, so Artis probably didn't think about going in to rest.
"I'm not tired," Artis turned his head, still with a warm smile on his face, "You can rest inside, I'll pick out the impurities on the feathers."
"I'll help you choose," Su Xiaomo stood up and walked out of the tent, "I like this job."
She sat down next to Artis.
I was too lazy to wear shoes, so I just worked barefoot.
The feathers Artis collected were all very soft down.
He felt that the hard outer feathers were uncomfortable to wear. Only this kind of fluff would be neither heavy nor warm to wear when the spring came next year.
"Even though it's warm here, it's still a bit cold with bare feet," Artis said with concern, "Xiaomo, you can stay in the tent first and just watch me do it."
"Hey, Artis, you won't even let me touch such beautiful feathers?" Xiaomo teased him.
Artis smiled sheepishly.
"Okay, Xiaomo," Artis gave a small portion of the feathers in his hand to Su Xiaomo, "Just pick these. It will be too tiring to pick more."
