After some discussion, Hu Shen and Ying Jie naturally decided to "go" to Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain with Su Tang.

The group reconsidered their route, and before setting off, Su Jianyuan pulled Su Tang aside.

"Girl, Hu Shen has followed you all the way here. Does he have feelings for you?" Su Jianyuan was a straight man, but as an outsider, he could see things clearly. He couldn't possibly be unaware of Hu Shen's unusual attitude towards Su Tang.

Upon hearing this, Su Tang couldn't help but recall what Ying Jie had just said: these hallucinogenic mushrooms would make orcs see the orcs they wanted to see, bewitch them, and thus prevent them from regaining their senses.

And that's when she saw Hu Shen...

So deep down, she actually wanted to see Hu Shen?

"I think Hu Shen is a good man. He has backbone, responsibility, and strength. He can protect you and is handsome. He can reluctantly be my brother-in-law."

"Sister, what do you think? If you like him, I'll knock him out when we get back and take him home for you. I heard that quite a few females are interested in Hu Shen, and he might get snatched away later."

They are no longer in the modern world, but on an ancient continent.

Before, I couldn't bear to see Su Tang get married, but now it's all good. She doesn't need to get married; she can just marry the male she likes.

Su Jianyuan now wholeheartedly supports Su Tang finding a boyfriend. After all, in this dog-eat-dog world, having a strong male bodyguard for protection makes things much safer.

Su Tang's lips twitched slightly. "Don't cause trouble."

Knock her out and bring her home? Is she that kind of barbaric person? Just use catnip... cough cough!

Su Jianyuan chuckled, "Then you'd better hurry up. I've seen those female bamboo bears and stone moths looking at Hu Shen with such fervor. I've heard that male beastmen can only have one partner in their lifetime, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

He genuinely admired Hu Shen, this orc.

"Brother, when did you switch careers to become a matchmaker? If you're so eager to bring joy to the family, I'll talk to your parents when we get back and ask them to make some arrangements for you." Su Tang rolled her eyes at Su Jianyuan, engaging in playful banter.

Su Jianyuan: "..." Just thinking about the bizarre and varied beast forms of those female orcs sent a chill down his spine.

Jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards are somewhat normal, but giant pandas and moths are really not his type!

Knowing that Su Tang and the two elders were truly capable of such a thing, Su Jianyuan quickly slipped away.

As Su Tang watched Su Jianyuan's retreating figure, the image of Hu Shen appeared in her mind.

She raised her hand, rubbing her index finger knuckle against her chin twice, and couldn't help but think that she had seen Hu Shen quite a few times in her dreams, and the children liked him too, so it seemed that Su Jianyuan's suggestion wasn't entirely unacceptable.

Bringing him home to be the kids' stepfather wouldn't be bad either.

Just then, Daqing's voice came from the side.

"Why is it you again?"

Su Tang turned her head and saw Ying Tai leading Ying Yiyi, with two Qingying beastmen and Mo Bai walking straight behind them. The other Qingying beastmen had disappeared.

The five men looked disheveled and were covered in sweat. They collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted, as soon as they landed. When they heard Da Qing's words, Ying Tai didn't even pay attention to him and just lay on the ground panting heavily.

The other two Azure Eagle Beastmen were also exhausted. Ying Yiyi had just escaped from a dangerous situation and was still in shock.

"Didn't you find the way and leave? Why are you still following us? Are you trying to sneak away with us?" Da Qing crossed his arms and couldn't help but sneer.

Thinking of Ying Yiyi's arrogance when she left, and seeing her and Ying Tai's current disheveled state, he felt very relieved.

They at least know the way out, so they're not much better off than them!

"None of your business!"

Ying Yiyi's face turned pale and then flushed, and she replied angrily.

She would never let these orcs know that they had just been attacked by a giant python; they would definitely laugh at her mercilessly.

After Daqing landed on the rock, he returned to the group.

"This bastard dares to mock me!" Ying Yiyi was furious. Seeing Ying Tai and the other two Qingying beastmen looking exhausted, she knew that she couldn't afford to argue with them now.

My brother can't protect himself now.

Mo Bai followed Ying Yiyi, minimizing his presence. As long as he kept quiet, Ying Yiyi and Ying Tai could basically ignore him.

He just needs to follow these few orcs, and it will naturally come looking for him when the time comes.

Ying Yiyi didn't have time to pay attention to him; her gaze fell on Hu Shen and Ying Jie, who had joined Su Tang's team.

Why is it that when she went out, a group of her people died, but the number of people in this female's group not only did not decrease, but actually increased?

Where did these two orcs come from? Did they just join her?

Ying Yiyi felt extremely resentful as she thought about it.

Why?! She's just a female from a small tribe, why is she so successful all the way?!

Soon, she realized something.

Since she joined halfway through, she could have recruited those two orcs into her team!

A hint of arrogance flashed in Ying Yiyi's eyes. She stood up, her legs feeling a little weak, and walked up to Hu Shen.

Hu Shen sat under a tree at the front of the group to rest, while Ying Jie stood guard behind him. Hu Shen was casually feeding Si Bao, who was lying at his feet, with fruit he had picked along the way.

Si Bao, who usually dislikes moving around, is quite willing to stay with Hu Shen.

To Su Tang, this scene was actually quite heartwarming.

Instead, he began to seriously consider Su Jianyuan's words.

Just then, Su Tang suddenly saw Ying Yiyi walk over and stop in front of Hu Shen.

"Hey, you two are the new orcs who joined them, right?" Ying Yiyi asked Hu Shen with an arrogant expression.

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Hu Shen frowned slightly and looked up to see a female standing in front of him.
