Shen Miao was extremely anxious. She flipped over and leaped up, immediately reaching for the stone spear: "No, I have to save him!"

The orc tribes already hated Jiuying and his group. If Jiuying were to fall into the hands of these orcs, would he have any chance of survival?

The cat-beastman advised, "If you go over there now, you probably won't be able to stop them. You should calm down and think of another way."

"I can't wait any longer. If I arrive any later, Jiuying will be in even more danger."

“An Ran, you have to think about the kids…”

The cat-beastman chased after them.

An Ran ignored him.

At that moment, Qingchen's voice suddenly came from inside the house: "Chen Miao, stop!"

Shen Miao stopped abruptly, her body stiff.

"Come in!"

Shen Miao stood there for a while, gritted her teeth, and went inside.

The cat-beastman was dumbfounded. So, all his earnest advice was less effective than a single sentence from Qingchen.

I'm a little depressed.

A few breaths later, Shen Miao came out of the house, her expression unchanged, still determined to go to the clan chief's house to rescue people.

The cat-beastman hadn't left yet, and seeing this, he quickly asked, "Why are you still going over there?"

Did Qingchen fail to persuade her either?

Shen Miao paused for a moment, then said softly, "Brother Cat, it's alright. I'll definitely be able to bring them back. I'll leave the little ones at home in your care for now."

"Sigh, fine." The cat-beastman said helplessly.

Shen Miao walked up to Lin Shousheng first and said politely, "Uncle Lin, please come with me. I need to prove that I was poisoned by the Beast-Eating Tree."

Lin Shousheng agreed without hesitation.

The two went to the clan chief's house.

The chieftain's house has a courtyard specifically used for executions. Anyone in the tribe who breaks the rules or commits a serious offense, such as Li Qiu before him, will be dealt with here.

The Nine-Headed Serpent is currently in this courtyard, tied to a wooden stake. Its upper body has been stripped of its animal skin, and its body is covered in blood from being beaten. Its head is drooping, and it is unknown whether it is alive or dead.

The rage in Shen Miao's heart suddenly flared up.

"Stop it, all of you!" she shouted sternly, and strode over.

Holding a rattan whip, the young orc in charge of the execution completely ignored Shen Miao, the female beast. Instead, he defiantly lashed out with the whip right in front of her.

However, the whip did not land on Jiuying; instead, it was firmly grasped by a pair of hands halfway through its flight.

The orc tried to pull it apart, but couldn't for a moment. He was shocked to find that the female beast was so strong.

Shen Miao easily snatched the whip, threw it aside, and coldly stared at the orc carrying out the execution. The orc was a little flustered by her gaze, but when he thought that he was only in charge of the execution and that he had so many people supporting him and that the chieftain was also there, he suddenly became bolder.

"What are you doing, Shen Miao? This is the decision of the clan leader and all the beastmen. You have no right to interfere!" the young beastman said, his voice stern but his voice weak.

Shen Miao laughed, but her laughter was chilling: "Is that so? I was just about to ask, what did Jiu Ying do to deserve such a cruel treatment? Is it just because he's a wandering beastman? That's not what we agreed on."

Her clear, bright eyes looked at the clan leader, as if waiting for an explanation from him.

The clan leader was somewhat embarrassed and said, "Well, Shen Miao, the agreement is of course not null and void, but this Jiuying has broken other rules, and even you cannot protect him."

“What did he do wrong? Clan Chief, you might as well tell me.” Shen Miao refused to back down.

She knew, of course, that these orcs had pinned those fabricated charges on Jiuying, but she wanted them to say them out loud themselves.

The clan leader hesitated. He was not in favor of dealing with Jiuying, not out of pity for Jiuying, but because he had witnessed Shen Miao's abilities in the tiger beastman Li Qiu and did not want to offend her too much.

While the chieftain was struggling with this dilemma, the other orcs couldn't hold back any longer and immediately jumped out.

"Chieftain, there's nothing that can't be said. If you won't tell, then I will." The orc spoke in a very aggressive tone, saying to Shen Miao, "What shameless things did you and that wandering orc do? Do you need others to tell you? What did you two do on the mountain? You were still hugging and cuddling when you got down the mountain. It's only because the tribe protects you female beasts that you should be executed."

Shen Miao listened, a faint smile playing on her lips: "Who witnessed what Jiu Ying and I did on the mountain?"

The orcs present looked at each other in silence, then all turned to look at Green Pearl.

The complaint was filed by Green Pearl, and the words were spoken by Green Pearl, so of course we should look for her now.

Green Pearl was not intimidated and stepped forward, saying, "I saw it."

"Alright, then tell me what Jiuying and I did on the mountain, how we did it, and where we were. Tell me everything in detail, okay? Lying will be punished."

Green Pearl felt a little guilty, but then she thought, what if she said she saw it? No one would know she was lying.

With a quick glance, Green Pearl was about to speak when Shen Miao said with a half-smile, "Green Pearl, did you see that? You should think carefully before you speak. With so many people listening, it wouldn't sound good to be accused of lying."

Green Pearl shuddered, thinking of the beatings she had received from Shen Miao before, and felt a dull ache all over her body.

“Although I didn’t see what you were doing in the mountains, you were definitely carried back by this wandering orc. I saw it with my own eyes.” Green Pearl spoke confidently, after all, it was something she had witnessed.

Shen Miao nodded and asked, "What was my state at that time?"

Green Pearl didn't understand why she asked that, and replied irritably, "Who knows what state you're in? I just saw you nestled on that wandering orc, looking like you were enjoying yourself."

"Wrong, I was already unconscious at the time," Shen Miao said calmly. "Because I was poisoned, Green Pearl. You knew I was poisoned, yet you still slandered me and Jiu Ying. What were your intentions?"

Green Pearl retorted, "Who knows if you're poisoned? I could say you're not. You're willing to take that kind of bet for that wandering orc. What wouldn't you do?"

Ignoring Green Pearl's clamor, Shen Miao said to Lin Shousheng, "Lin the veterinarian, tell everyone, am I poisoned?"

Only then did everyone notice Lin Shousheng, who had been quietly staying in the corner, completely oblivious to his presence.

Lin Shousheng is like that. He doesn't like to show off and just wants to quietly study his herbs. He came here today at Shen Miao's request.

But he doesn't like to be in the limelight, nor is he afraid to speak in public.

Facing the intense gazes of the orcs, especially Green Pearl's piercing stare that seemed to want to bore a hole through him, Lin Shousheng calmly said, "Chen Miao has been poisoned by the sap of the Beast-Eating Tree. She was surrounded and attacked by the Beast-Eating Trees in the forest."
