Chapter 55: Hewu Liya Joins the Cause

"I wonder what brings you here this time, Immortal Lord?"

Arriving at the temporary reception room prepared within the tribe, Hewu Liya ordered her subordinates to bring out strong tea.

"It's nothing major, really."

Jiang Yan sat in a chair and took a light sip of the strong tea.

"What do you think you have here that would be worth my coming all this way?"

Jiang Yan spoke casually, causing Hewu Liya, seated opposite, to freeze for a moment before forcing a bitter smile.

"So that's how it is..."

Hewu Liya laughed bitterly, her fists clenching tight.

A feeling of helpless sorrow welled up in her heart.

"How so?"

Jiang Yan asked, puzzled.

"Isn't it precisely the land of the Salt that brings you here this time, Immortal Lord?"

Hewu Liya's tone was low. "I only hope... that you can treat the people here well."

"Oh my, who told you I had my eye on this territory?"

Jiang Yan smiled faintly.

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Hewu Liya suddenly raised her head, a look of astonishment on her face.

"Isn't... that how it is?"

"Then what brings you here this time..."

Now it was Hewu Liya's turn to be unsure.

Originally, upon hearing that Jiang Yan had not come to seize territory, Hewu Liya had felt a surge of joy within.

But on second thought, besides territory, what on their side could possibly attract his attention?

Surely not herself?

Gazing at her own curvaceous, alluring figure, a blush rose to Hewu Liya's fair cheeks.

But when she glanced at Little Ganyu beside Jiang Yan, that thought was dispelled.

For from the moment they first met until now, the Wood Spirit Immortal Lord before her and the blue-haired girl with twin horns on her head had appeared especially intimate.

Then what on earth was the reason?

As if sensing Hewu Liya's confusion, Jiang Yan spoke softly.

"Salt God Hewu Liya, if I'm not mistaken, your Authority should be salt, correct?"

Hewu Liya nodded.
