Su Tang jumped down and gave Si Bao's head a good rub.

"Hu Shen, sister, you've come back just in time! Come and eat, the roast whole lamb and wolf meat are freshly made, they smell amazing!"

Su Jianyuan saw the two of them and waved to them casually.

He didn't mention at all that he had specially cooked it slowly over a low flame so that the two of them could have a hot meal when they returned, just in case it was overcooked.

Su Tang could smell the aroma of meat from afar.

Turning my head, I saw two large racks next to me, one with roasted whole lamb and the other with wolf meat.

Thin skin and tender meat, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

The mutton soup in the iron pot was still bubbling and steaming hot.

A breeze carries the fragrance far and wide.

This wasn't the first time Hu Shen had eaten with them, but it was the first time someone had waited for him to join them.

He watched as Su Jianyuan and Daqing busied themselves getting bowls and chopsticks, and Sibao picked up a spoon with his mouth and handed it to him and Su Tang, a gentle look appearing in his eyes.

It feels like coming home with your partner, and your little one is there to greet you.

When he and Atang have their own partners in the future, it will probably be the same, right?

He was thinking to himself.

Seeing that Hu Shen was standing there motionless, Su Tang took his hand and sat down in front of the fire with a natural expression.

They've already kissed, so holding hands isn't too much to ask, right?

Hu Shen felt the soft fingers in his palm, and his legs seemed to move on their own, following him.

"Brother, the meat you roast is absolutely amazing, almost as good as Mother's cooking!" Su Tang tore off a piece of wolf meat, gave half to Hu Shen, and then took a big bite herself.

Dinner was a bit late tonight, and she was starving.

Hu Shen also took a bite and subconsciously started talking as well.

"Brother, it's delicious."

Su Jianyuan looked like he'd seen a ghost, but secretly gave Su Tang a thumbs up.

My sister is awesome!

He's only been gone a short time, but he's already got Hu Shen under control.

They've all started calling him "brother" along with her. Tomorrow, won't we just make Sibao call him "father" instead?

No, wait a minute. Si Bao is Hu Shen's adoptive father's cub, and Tang Tang is the adoptive mother of Hu Shen's adoptive father's cub. This generational relationship seems a bit off...

The four-treasure bowl was already filled with mutton soup, large chunks of mutton and wolf meat, and bones.

Seeing that Su Tang had returned, it finally sat up and started eating with peace of mind.

During the meal, Su Jianyuan didn't talk much.

He eats the fastest, finishing his food first and cleaning his bowl completely before asking about what happened earlier.

Hu Shen trusted them completely, and when Su Jianyuan asked, he didn't hide anything and told Su Jianyuan about the recent events and his plans.

"Thank you so much for the herbs today, otherwise he probably wouldn't have woken up."

After saying that, he didn't forget to express his sincere gratitude.

"No need to thank me, we're all family from now on." Su Jianyuan waved his hand, already treating Hu Shen as his brother-in-law.

Even without this connection, the Ganoderma lucidum wasn't his anyway.

Hu Shen paused for a moment, then looked at Su Tang beside him, his eyes flashing.

Just then, Su Jianyuan said again:

"You're going to find orcs to lure out those griffin orcs?"

"Yes." Hu Shen nodded.

“I’m an expert at luring the snake out of its hole,” Su Jianyuan said, patting his chest with a magnanimous air. “Find a few orcs, put Da Qing and me in there, and I guarantee I’ll capture the griffin orc for you.”

Consider it a way of repaying Hu Shen for giving Si Bao the precious divine stone to treat his throat.

He has never seen what the legendary griffin looks like!

It'll be a good opportunity to see for myself.

Besides, he'd been away on missions for so long, he was really itching to get back to work.

Just think of it as carrying out a mission on an ancient continent.

"What? What are we going to do?" Daqing looked up, wiped the grease from his mouth, and asked with a blank expression.

Su Jianyuan pressed his head down.

"It's okay, eat your food. I'll take you out to have some fun in a few days."

Although Daqing is simple-minded, his reaction speed in the forest is much faster than that of other beastmen, and most beastmen can't even touch him.

During the journey, he and Daqing developed a better understanding of each other.

With the two of them working together, he was confident he could take down the griffin orc.

Upon hearing this, Hu Shen did not immediately agree, but instead turned to Su Tang to ask for her opinion.

Seeing that Su Jianyuan was confident, Su Tang also said:

"If it won't cause you any trouble, then let my brother and Daqing participate."

She knew that Su Jianyuan wouldn't say such a thing if he wasn't confident.

"Alright, thank you both very much then." Hu Shen nodded in agreement.

“Tsk, tsk…” Su Jianyuan looked at the two of them with a meaningful expression.

It hadn't been long before he realized that the mighty Beast King of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain actually had the potential to be henpecked.

He will never become like that again; it's too embarrassing.

The next two days.

Hu Shen instructed Hu Ming to select suitable orcs, while Ying Jie and Niu Li were tasked with figuring out the range of activities of the griffin orcs.

In the past two days, the orcs of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain have intentionally reduced their outings, but the number of injured orcs is increasing.

Eagle and Bull quickly pinpointed the area.

“Your Majesty, these griffin orcs are too arrogant. They only travel halfway down the mountain into the forest and don’t go anywhere else.”

"I am filled with righteous indignation," Yingjie said.

But the griffin orcs always managed to succeed.

Many more orcs have died in the last two days; not a single one has survived.

Niu Li also said, "They should only have one team of orcs active, operating twice a day, and they will choose to attack when the orcs are concentrated."

Hu Shen's eyes were deep and dark.

In other words, they can even act together.

This makes things convenient for him.

"I understand. Pass the word down: no orcs are allowed to go down the mountain to hunt until I return tomorrow."

"Yes!" Ying Jie and Niu Li's eyes gleamed with fervent light.

This time, they're going to make sure the griffin orcs never return!

After the two left, Hu Shen also went to tell Su Jianyuan the news.

the next day.

A dozen or so orcs came down the mountain to hunt.

They were all common beastmen from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, including eagles, leopards, tigers, and so on.

It was the time when orcs came down the mountain to hunt, and a group of orcs came down the mountain together without arousing any suspicion.

Just as the beasts were about to reach the forest and prepare to disperse to hunt, a dangerous aura came from above them.
