Shuanghua never raised her head, because she was simply unable to do so. Shen Miao's kick only made matters worse for her already damaged body.

But Shen Miao felt no sympathy whatsoever; Shuanghua's wickedness once again shattered her worldview.

This female beast is incapable of becoming good.

The thought crossed Shen Miao's mind, and she decided to kill the female beast. She didn't want to keep her alive any longer.

"Mommy, my neck hurts," the little boy said weakly in her arms.

Shen Miao suddenly came to her senses. Yes, Si Bao was still here. She couldn't kill someone in front of her.

After glancing at the frost flowers one last time, Shen Miao turned and left.

After returning home, Shen Miao checked Si Bao's neck. Fortunately, she arrived in time. Shuang Hua hadn't had time to do anything more, but a bruise was still left on Si Bao's thin neck.

Shen Miao was so angry that she scolded Shuanghua again. She took out the ointment and carefully applied it to Xiao Sibao. Xiao Sibao whined and wanted Shen Miao to hold her, but Shen Miao did not hold her. Instead, she sat far away with a cold face.

Sensing her mother's unusual coldness, the little boy panicked, stretching out his two little arms, almost bursting into tears, "Mommy, hug me, hug me!"

Shen Miao ignored her, and Si Bao's tears fell down in a steady stream.

Shen Miao watched from the side, offering neither comfort nor soothing. Xiao Sibao cried even harder, his little shoulders trembling, looking utterly aggrieved.

"Why are you crying?" Shen Miao finally spoke, but her voice was a little cold.

Little Sibao sobbed, "My mother today feels so unfamiliar. Waaah, I don't want a mother like this. I want a soft mother who will hug me."

Shen Miao, her face grim, asked again, "Why are you crying?"

"Waaah, Mommy's ignoring me, waaah." Little Sibao sobbed.

Shen Miao said calmly, "Why is Mother ignoring you?"

"Because, because I gave something to Frostflower."

“Wrong,” Shen Miao corrected, “Mother doesn’t think it’s wrong for you to send things, but it depends on the person. Shuanghua attacked you last time and used you against Mother. Why haven’t you learned your lesson? Why did you go there alone again this time?”

Little Sibao sobbed, "I was wrong, Mother. I was going to put the things down and leave, but she said she couldn't get them and asked me to hand them to her. So I handed them over, and she grabbed me."

Shen Miao could almost picture the scene.

Shuanghua is cunning and ruthless; even adults are no match for her, let alone a little brat like Xiao Sibao.

It's hateful that Xiao Sibao's kind heart was so cruelly trampled on.

"Have you learned your lesson? Will you go alone again next time?" Shen Miao hardened her heart.

Xiao Sibao shook his head frantically, "I'm not going anymore, I'll never go again."

Shen Miao then reached out and hugged the four little treasures into her arms.

On the other side.

The orcs of the tribe were building houses with great enthusiasm. The cat orc was afraid they would build the wrong houses, so he would come and take a stroll every day. Today, he actually discovered a problem.

"Whose house is this? Tear it down and rebuild it!"

A young orc ran over, indignantly saying, "Why? We've already built one wall. If you tear it down now, aren't you just making things difficult for us?"

The cat-beastman squinted at the beastman in front of him. He was very young and looked strong, with considerable fighting ability. That was probably why the beastman dared to ignore him.

"I've said that houses can only be built within the areas I've designated, and you've violated the rules by building outside of them, so what are you saying here?!"

The argument quickly attracted the attention of others, and other young orcs from the tribe ran over and stood beside the orc, forming a standoff with the cat orc.

The cat-beast laughed angrily, "What, are you going to rebel? I remember you just said a few days ago that you would submit to Shen Miao, and you can't hold back anymore?"

His tone was full of contempt, and his expression was extremely disdainful.

The young orc clenched his fists and said angrily, "Stop slandering me."

The cat-beastman ignored him and said directly, "Tear down the house and rebuild it, or else..."

"Otherwise what? Cat-beastman, don't go too far. We won't demolish the house today. This place isn't just yours."

Before the cat-beastman could answer, another voice suddenly rang out, "The land of the Beast Realm really is mine. What, you disagree?"

Shen Miao walked in slowly. Today she was dressed in a plain-colored long robe, her expression very calm. She looked at the group of troublemaking beastmen as if they were ants.

The orcs felt insulted and angrily said, "You look down on us. Although we have come to your side, we do not want to be treated unfairly."

"Where is the unfairness? All people in the Beast Realm must follow the rules. Tell me, what makes you special?"

The orcs were speechless. The older orcs tried to dissuade the younger ones from causing trouble and to stay put, but the younger orcs wouldn't listen.

A tall orc who seemed to have a lot of influence among them stepped forward, slightly raising his chin, and said to Shen Miao, "How does the Beast Realm define power? If we can defeat you, will we be the ones calling the shots in the Beast Realm?"

Shen Miao stared at the orc. She had already seen through his impure intentions. He was the first to express his loyalty to her that day, but today he was also leading the seizure of power.

They really are ungrateful wretches.

Seeing that she remained silent, the young orc deliberately raised his voice so that all the onlookers could hear him: "Shen Miao, tell me the truth, is it possible for me, or any one of us, to defeat you and replace you?"

His words were quite provocative; what orc doesn't have ambitions? They just kept them to themselves in the past.

Now that someone is taking the lead in provoking others, everyone is inevitably showing expressions of eagerness to try.

Shen Miao was so angry she laughed. "I hope your abilities are as great as your audacity."

"I'm just telling the truth. If you can't beat us, you shouldn't be sitting in that position," the young orc continued to provoke.

Everyone stared intently at Shen Miao, waiting for her reply.

Shen Miao remained calm and composed, but her anger was already surging within her.

She knew that if she didn't handle this matter properly today, her prestige would be greatly diminished afterward.

"Come on, all of you come at me together." Shen Miao gestured to the few young orcs who were shouting the loudest.

The young orcs were secretly delighted. Shen Miao was courting death! She still hadn't grasped the situation. She had them all come together. If they lost, they would lose their positions.

Even if they can't beat her in a one-on-one fight, they can't lose if they all go at her together.

But they didn't consider that since Shen Miao dared to do this, she must be absolutely certain of success!
