The orc's eyes were gloomy. "You little brats, you just won't admit it, huh? Then we'll go and reason with the chieftain."

When he mentioned the chieftain, Shen Miao realized that he was also an orc from the tribe.

However, the other party's house was far from hers, and she had never met them.

Shen Miao remained noncommittal, only saying, "No rush."

Then he walked over, squatted down to examine the pig's wounds, and the orc followed, clearly feeling guilty. "You still suspect I'm lying? How could a grown orc like me lie? You should teach your cub a lesson!"

Shen Miao gave him a look that was as cold as ice, as if she wanted to freeze him.

The orcs were too frightened to utter another word.

Shen Miao looked down and examined the pig. It had indeed been bitten to death, with the fatal wound on its neck. The wound was also very fresh, but the bite was quite large, something that the piglets could not have made.

After she finished reading, she stood up without saying a word, walked around the low wall of her house, and paused slightly when she reached a certain point.

"There's no need to go to the clan chief; I already know what happened."

The children, including the orc, all stared intently at her. Da Bao and the others were eager and expectant, while the orc was nervous, short of breath, and somewhat blustering but actually cowardly.

Shen Miao pointed to a line of bloodstains left on the low wall and said with a smile, "What is this? Come and see for yourself."

The orc walked over with some doubt, and when he saw the line of blood, his face immediately changed. But he was thick-skinned and refused to admit it, pretending to be stupid and saying, "What are you looking at? I didn't see anything."

“You say you didn’t see such a big bloodstain? You’re really trying to cover your tracks,” Shen Miao said, stroking her chin. “Let me guess, you probably threw the dead pig in from here.”

She held up a stone and mimicked the action of throwing a dead pig.

The sound of a stone falling to the ground immediately echoed in the courtyard.

The children clapped their hands and said, "Yes, that's exactly the sound."

Shen Miao turned to look at the orc. Seeing that his plan had been exposed, the orc dared not speak anymore. He bent down, picked up the pig, and carried it away.

"Wait." Shen Miao blocked his way.

The orc said gruffly, "What else do you want? I've already told you not to compensate me for the pigs. Just consider it my bad luck!"

Shen Miao raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms, and glanced sideways, looking nonchalant: "So, you're saying this pig was killed by my little one?"

“I didn’t say that,” the orc said, his face flushed.

Not only did they not gain anything, but they were also forced to admit that they came to cause trouble. It was incredibly frustrating.

"Fine, if that's not what you thought, then I'll have to tell you about my family's losses." Shen Miao counted on her fingers, "First, you threw a dead pig into my yard, making it filthy, and you didn't clean it up. Second, you falsely accused my children, which frightened them..."

The little ones huddled together obediently around Shen Miao.

"You want to compensate me for emotional distress. I won't ask for more than the pollution fee plus emotional distress compensation. Just leave your pig here."

The orc was utterly stunned, exclaiming incredulously, "You, you're extorting me! I'm not giving you this pig. If you want it, you'll have to take my life!"

Shen Miao was both amused and exasperated. "What would I do with your life? Since you refuse to give it to me, let's go find the clan leader to settle this."

The orc was sweating profusely, his eyes darting around. Knowing he wouldn't get anything out of the chieftain, he gritted his teeth and was about to throw the pig down: "Here you go, consider it feeding the dog."

"Don't leave it here, put it in the yard," Shen Miao ordered.

The orc dared not disobey and obediently carried it to the courtyard.

The children looked at them with starry eyes, filled with admiration.

"Mother is so amazing!" With just a few words, the beastman was speechless and obediently offered her a pig.

Shen Miao said without any modesty, "You guys are this good too."

The beastman angrily delivered the pig to the designated location as Shen Miao requested. Just as he was about to leave, his eyes darted around and he caught sight of the people inside the house.

He immediately perked up, took a few steps into the house, and said to Qingchen with feigned concern, "Qingchen, you're still lying there. You're really lucky. The people in the tribe thought you were dead."

In fact, Qingchen had already appeared in front of everyone when the Bloodworm Clan attacked the tribe. However, this orc was afraid of death and stayed at home, not daring to go out at all.

He didn't go out until the Bloodworm Clan was defeated, so he naturally didn't know that Qingchen had already recovered.

Qingchen opened her dark eyes but ignored him.

The orc got even more excited. "Hey, if you ask me, you're just lying here while your female beast runs around everywhere, not even taking care of you at home. Maybe she's already hooked up with another orc. Look how well she's been living lately. You're really being treated badly. I think you should just kick her out."

"Shut up!"

A sudden, deep shout startled the orc.

He felt a chill run down his spine. As a coward, he was naturally afraid of beastmen with outstanding talent like Qingchen, both in the past and now.

He swallowed hard, his gaze falling on Qingchen's two legs covered by the animal skin. Realizing that the other party had no way to get up, he suddenly became bolder and revealed a disdainful smile.

"I know male beasts can't handle this, but it's a well-known fact, so it's no big deal, right? Anyway, in your current state, you can't do anything to her, can you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the orc felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and was sent flying sideways, crashing heavily into the courtyard.

Qingchen stood before him, looking down at him with an icy voice devoid of any emotion: "Have you said enough?"

The orc was terrified and backed away, supporting himself with his hands on the ground. "No, I won't say anymore, Qingchen. I was just talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart."

As he spoke, he scrambled to his feet and, taking advantage of Qingchen's inattention, ran away in a panic.

This was the first time Shen Miao had seen Qing Chen make a move. She had to admit that his speed and strength were top-notch. It was hard to believe that he had been disabled for so long.

"Amazing, you've fully recovered?"

Qingchen ignored her excitement, only glancing at her indifferently before returning to her room without saying a word.

Shen Miao felt confused. Why was this person angry again? He was so difficult to please. However, she had already gotten used to the villain's bad temper. She touched her nose and decided not to go and provoke him.

Qingchen lay back down on the bed and, as usual, simulated battles in his mind. That's how he spent the time he spent lying in bed.

But I couldn't calm down today; the orc's words kept flashing through my mind.

Shen Miao followed another beastman? Who did she follow? How dare she follow another beastman?!
