Hongmei came back not long after they finished their conversation, with a male by her side.

She was very surprised by their arrival, but before she could say a few more words, Bai Di spoke directly.

"Red Plum Beast Mother, shall we talk?" He looked at her, his dark purple eyes staring deeply into her.

Perhaps sensing the solemn atmosphere, Hongmei flinched inwardly, but she slowly put on a forced smile.

"good."

"Let's go inside and talk." Bai Di turned sideways, watched her walk in, and followed her.

The male next to Hongmei also wanted to follow in, but was stopped by another male.

He held his shoulders, shook his head, and motioned him not to go in.

The other male was silent for a while, then nodded slowly, took over the prey he had not finished processing, and sat silently on the side.

Song Jinqiao looked at them, then looked at the tightly closed stone door, and found a big rock to sit on.

It looks like it will take a while to finish, so let’s just sit and wait.

Just as Song Jinqiao thought, after a long time, there was still no movement inside. The other two males seemed to be waiting calmly, but they stood up and looked around from time to time, showing their anxious mood.

As the day gradually darkened, the sun set, and the sunset glow dyed the sky, the tightly closed stone door slowly opened.

Upon hearing the sound, the two males immediately stepped forward.

As the stone door opened, Baidi walked out of the stone house, followed by Hongmei who lowered her head.

She raised her hand to wipe her cheek from time to time, looking like she was wiping away tears.

When the two males saw their partners' red eyes, they stared at Baidi with anger in their eyes.

"What did you do to her?!"

Song Jinqiao stood up and walked over, holding Bai Di's hand.

Baidi first touched her head, then looked at the two males and was about to explain, but Hongmei interrupted him.

"I'm fine, don't blame her." She pulled the hand of one of the males and looked at Baidi again. Her eyes, red from crying, flashed with determination and a bit of relief. "I hope you'll keep your promise."

Bai Di nodded, said hello, and took Song Jinqiao away.

Because of the system, Song Jinqiao knew everything that happened inside the stone house, but she did not say it out loud. Instead, she waited for Bai Di to tell her.

Sure enough, after walking a few steps, Bai Di started to explain: "She said she couldn't let go of Beast Father, but she would never be the same as before. Also, I promised her that I would help Beast Father clear his name."

The previous king of the City of Light died in unclear circumstances and was falsely accused by the orcs of stealing the rare crystal stone that the witch had placed on the altar. He eventually defected and was killed by a ferocious beast.

This is the most widely circulated story among the orcs. In fact, there are several other stories. Some say that he is colluding with some pagans, some say that he is capturing innocent orcs, and some say that he betrayed his partner...

"Beast Father is not that kind of beastman. Hongmei Beast Mother and I both think so. We understand Beast Father."

In fact, even if Hongmei didn't say it, he would still vindicate his beastly father, because that was his beastly father.

However, the original version of the former king's death was not this, but rumors are like a small snowball rolling in the snow, and they will definitely get bigger and bigger and more outrageous.

Song Jinqiao blinked and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by pagan?"
