Winter passed quickly; the spring snow melted outside, and the branches began to sprout green buds.

Longyin had long since lifted the restrictions on cash withdrawals from the major families, but by this time they had lost the support of the people.

All the orcs stopped paying attention to them, but You Ran and his group were doing quite well.

It's just a bit expensive.

Huang Yu did the math: "This winter, we spent a total of 100,000 gold coins on wild animal meat and hides."

Mu Youran held a freshly fired ceramic watering can in her hand, leisurely watering the newly planted flowers and trees.

"It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it."

Long Yin chuckled, crossing his legs: "That's right. As long as I adjust the interest rate slightly, this money can be paid for by those major families."

Now, he finally understands how ruthless lending banks are.

With just a little thought, he could control all the money in the world!

His next step was clear: he would open his lending bank in every major market on the orc continent!

Huang Yu was touched by their relaxed demeanor and smiled gently.

"Okay, I'm just doing a statistic."

However, Xuan Feng was not as relaxed as they were.

"I think that Shu Ming might be planning something big recently."

Upon hearing this, Mu Youran paused slightly while watering the flowers; it was perfectly normal for him to make a big move.

This winter, he has been completely out of the loop since he fell ill last time. According to Xuan Feng, he is now terminally ill.

How could such a vengeful orc not make a move when he was about to die?

"It's alright, we've already made it through this winter, why would we be afraid of him who's about to die?"

Xuanfeng also took a watering can and went to the side to help water the plants, while also pulling off some withered leaves.

"Eileen is coming back."

Upon hearing this news, Mu Youran's heart tightened.

His eyes flashed slightly coldly. So you're back.

It's good that you're back.

She wanted to ask this modern person who had traveled through time how he could bring himself to torture a little brat!

Huang Yu already knew about this, and in his opinion, Eileen was nothing to fear.

After all, she came here as the Queen of the Beasts, a very noble status in the Beast Forest.

But things are different on the Orcish continent.

Having such a status is no different than having a pile of dung on one's head.

If it weren't for the fact that they had been fighting a long war with the Monster Forest and had finally gotten a chance to recuperate, they would have been in a different situation.

He really wanted to break through the barrier, raze the entire Monster Forest, and avenge Wuyou!

These people are absolutely despicable. Even now that Wuyou has finally returned, he is forced to separate from his father due to pressure from these orcs.

Just then, a guard came to report.

"Your Highness, Chief Fei Yun of the Falcon Clan and Young Master Fei Qiu have also come over."

Mu Youran turned her head and exchanged glances with Huang Yu and the others. Huang Yu and Long Yin immediately turned around and went into the inner courtyard.

Their identities are too prestigious for them to appear in public for the time being.

"Oh, Your Highness, you must stand up for us!"

Before they could even see anyone, they could already hear the Feiyun clan chief's wailing, followed by a male with a very sour face.

Mu Youran recognized the young man at a glance. Wasn't he a regular at the Ni Chang Pavilion, and the one who had even argued with her Ma Wanjin?

Fei Qiu was initially reluctant to come, but his father insisted on dragging him along, saying that if the Queen took a liking to him, their Falcon Clan would soar to great heights.

This was also an idea suggested by Father's good brother, Hu Chen. Chief Fei Yun thought about it and agreed.

I'm such a brat, I'm going to find a partner anyway, why not find one who's good for the family?

Mu Youran glanced at the two of them but didn't offer them a seat. Instead, the two of them sat down as if they were already familiar with each other.

"Oh, Your Highness, you don't know, that Shuming is practically not a male at all!"

“He actually hit a female, and beat my daughter so badly that her face was bruised and swollen. She can’t even get out of bed now.”

"You must stand up for us!"

Chief Feiyun, with tears streaming down his face, spoke in a deeply moving manner.

Mu Youran never expected that he would come to her door on his own.

However, his defection is actually a good thing.

What do you want?

Upon hearing this, Chief Feiyun knew there was hope. After all, none of the major families didn't know that the princess had always been at odds with the rat clan.

They only found out now; they used to think the princess was targeting all the noble families.

Seeing the festering sores all over Shu Ming's body, I realized that they were just dragged into this mess by Shu Ming.

Chief Feiyun made no attempt to hide his intentions: "Of course, we should expel Shuming from our Falcon Clan!"

Mu Youran couldn't help but laugh out loud, glancing at Xuan Feng beside her, who looked completely serious.

Now she understood why Shu Ming had married herself off to the Falcon Clan.

"Xuanfeng, help me catch a handful of dried fish."

Xuan Feng handed her a small basket of dried fish, saying, "Be careful, there are bones."

Mu Youran took it, popped it into her mouth, and enjoyed it with satisfaction.

Only then did he slowly speak: "Falcon Clan Chief, do you know that it's easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away?"

Speaking of this, the Falcon Clan Chief was a little embarrassed. He knew it too, otherwise he wouldn't have come here.

There's really no other way. It's safe to say that the entire Falcon Clan is now under Rat Ming's control.

He then grabbed his son, Fei Qiu, and said, "If Your Highness doesn't mind, I can let my son marry you!"

Cough cough cough!

Upon hearing this, a small piece of dried fish got stuck in You Ran's throat.

Xuan Feng quickly handed over a water glass, then glanced at Fei Qiu, whose face was covered in dark energy, instantly startling him.

"Slow down."

You Ran drank a couple of sips of water to wash away the bits of dried fish, and felt much better after that.

She doesn't want someone with bad luck.

He straightened his expression and said, "Let's skip this."

"As for Shuming, he won't be able to keep jumping around for much longer."

Of course, the Flying Cloud Clan Chief knew this, but he was sick now. What if he infected all of them?

They dared not openly refuse to go back.

"But, but his disease is contagious."

Mu Youran had a headache; how could a clan leader be so incompetent?

Xuan Feng spoke up: "You, a clan leader, can't do anything about this orc who's sick and on the verge of death?"

"Since you managed to get here, you must have somewhere else to go."

Upon hearing this, the Falcon Clan Chief immediately realized, "Oh, I understand now. Thank you for reminding me, Your Highness and Young Master Xuan."

With that, he immediately pulled Fei Qiu away in a flurry of activity.

They came and went in a hurry.

Unbeknownst to them, no sooner had they joined the tiger clan than uninvited guests arrived at their home that very night.
