"Little Boss——"
Yun Luo paused for a moment and turned back.
After all, he was the one who helped him, Yun Luo thought, I'll give him one last chance and see what he really wants to do.
"It's okay, I just want to call the boss." Something flashed across Samuel's eyes so quickly that Yun Luo couldn't catch it before it disappeared.
He became the familiar face of Yun Luo again. The slightly warm light shone on him obliquely. Something sharp seemed to disappear, creating an illusion of gentleness.
But, illusions are always illusions.
Yun Luo's heart didn't have time to soften for this momentary illusion. Samuel blinked, and a playful smile appeared in his silver-blue eyes: "What are you thinking about, young boss?"
"I'm thinking about how to get you away from me." Yun Luo quickly collected his thoughts and said expressionlessly.
"But the boss's behavior just now tells me that this is not the case." Samuel approached step by step, his eyes always staying on Yun Luo's face, not missing any change in his expression.
As the man approached, the oppression that was unique to males over females became more and more intense. This was the first time that Samuel showed his aggressive side in front of Yun Luo.
Yun Luo frowned uncomfortably: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Samuel moved closer and closer. He was more than half a head taller than Yun Luo. He looked down at Yun Luo from above, not hiding his aggressiveness. "I hope that next time we meet, the young boss will still be the same as now..."
She is interesting and holds countless secrets. She has not become as boring as other females on the Imperial Star.
Don't have too many people around you who shouldn't be there.
Don’t let the pearl that belongs to him run away with someone else in the blink of an eye. If you do, he will be very angry.
Looking at the man whose dangerous aura was increasing, Yun Luo felt that talking to him was a waste of time.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. If you have any problems," Yun Luo smiled meaningfully, "go see a doctor as soon as possible."
He almost said that Samuel should get treatment as soon as possible if he was sick.
Samuel was not annoyed by what he said, "If I can stay with the young boss, I will definitely be fine."
The two were very close to each other. Samuel lowered his head slightly and spoke these words almost brushing Yun Luo's ear. After that, he took a step back and put some distance between himself and Yun Luo.
The aggression on his body subsided completely in an instant. He did not stop Yun Luo from leaving. Only when Yun Luo's back disappeared from his sight did he frown impatiently.
pain.
As the soothing breath left, the overwhelming pain washed over him once again. Every part of his body felt like it had been struck hard, every bone seemed to be shattered, then reassembled, then shattered again. Even his beast core was cracked in the pain.
This is the energy riot that high-level orcs fear the most. The higher the level of the orc, the more terrifying the attack will be.
Pain that ordinary people could not bear even one ten-thousandth of was nothing but a common thing for Samuel. He could handle government affairs as usual in such pain, and even go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. The more severe the pain, the more fierce his attack.
Few people in the empire knew that this young emperor had suffered from an energy riot that was almost unsolvable for orcs before he was twenty years old, and now there were countless cracks on his beast core.
Energy riot is a very common and frightening term in the Empire. It is a disease that occurs frequently in male orcs and there is no cure.
If it is in the early or middle stages of the energy riot, it can be soothed and alleviated by the mental power of a highly compatible female. If it is in the late stages and cracks appear on the beast core, one can only watch the cracks grow bigger and bigger, and eventually the beast core will completely rupture. At the very least, the beast will become a fallen beast without humanity, and at the worst, the beast will die directly.
Either of these two possibilities would be unacceptable. Furthermore, those most prone to energy riots were often high-ranking orcs. Who could endure going from a favored child of heaven to a fallen beast?
Samuel had already gotten used to this kind of pain. Just being close to the young boss would relieve the pain in his body. Now that the young boss had left, the sudden burst of pain almost made him groan.
The person who had been guarding in the dark appeared silently and knelt respectfully: "Master, the place is ready."
This is the most secretive team around Samuel, loyal only to him. Only some of these people know that Samuel's annual retreat is due to energy riots.
Samuel nodded.
Just as they appeared, the group disappeared silently from the spot.
From that day on, Yun Luo never saw Samuel again. He felt a little uncomfortable because there was suddenly no one trying to make his presence felt in front of him every day.
It didn't take Yun Luo long to get used to it. Amid the hustle and bustle of Lingyun Manor's opening, Yun Luo quickly put the man out of her mind.
To open a shop, a source of goods is essential. In addition to the rice grown on the estate, various exotic animal meats are also needed. Hunting for them yourself is unrealistic, and buying them is also difficult.
There wasn't much of a market for exotic animal meat in this world. Few people were selling it, and even fewer were raising it. Unlike setting up stalls, opening a shop required a long-term, stable supply. Yun Luo had never imagined that the first difficulty he'd encounter in opening a shop would be with ingredients.
You can't open a farm first, right?
"We can let Colin take people hunting." The old butler suggested.
"No, the manor doesn't have enough manpower." This idea was rejected by Yun Luo as soon as it was put forward. Yun Luo sighed, "It would be great if someone could raise exotic beasts."
The housekeeper was also in a dilemma. If he only needed one or two occasionally, he could ask someone to hunt, but if he needed them every day, it would be more difficult.
Yun Luo thought about it for several days but couldn't come up with a solution. Finally, the arrival of the planet chief gave him a solution.
"Young Boss, are you short of exotic beast meat?" The planetary chief had come to ask Yun Luo when he would open the business. After hearing the reason behind Yun Luo's delay, he suddenly realized, "Young Boss, you should have told me earlier. Planet Somir is short of everything except exotic beasts."
The planet Somir is a very primitive planet. The human living area only accounts for 20%, and the remaining 80% is almost the territory of exotic beasts and mutated plants. The level of technology here is many times behind that of the Emperor Star.
"I hope to have a stable supply of goods. I don't need too much every day. I can't handle too much. The most important thing is stability." Yun Luo thought that he couldn't spend the whole day on this, and after opening, he should only be open for half a day.
"It's not difficult. The Governor's Mansion alone can provide it. If you ask other families, there will be many people willing to do it."
What the planet chief said was true. News of Lingyun Manor had already spread, and many people were eagerly anticipating it, hoping that Yunluo would open soon. After the last banquet, everyone went back and reminisced about it, only regretting that their stomachs were not big enough to eat more.
"Young Boss, there's absolutely no need to worry about the exotic beast. If you need it, I can have someone deliver it to you right now."
"How come there are so many exotic beasts, sir?" The exotic beasts at the last banquet were also provided by the planet chief. Yun Luo thought that the planet chief had specially sent people to hunt them, but now it seems like they just went along with it?
"Well," the planet chief stroked his smooth chin, "we actually have to hunt alien beasts every few days. There are too many alien beasts on this planet. If we don't clean them up, it will cause trouble to the civilians."
The nobles have special guards and live in the city, which has the city walls as a solid barrier, but not everyone can live in the city. More civilians live outside the city, where there are no barriers and most of them are low-level orcs, who can easily be hurt by strange beasts or mutated plants.
"The meat of these exotic animals cannot be eaten directly, so a lot of it is disposed of directly." The disposal here refers to the direct decomposition with drugs, which will not pollute the environment.
"Will the nobles also organize people to kill strange beasts? Then shouldn't I have to do it too?" Yun Luo also has the title of viscount, as he was half-abandoned and thrown to Somir Star to fend for himself at any time, but he had never heard the butler talk about this.
"This is stipulated by the higher-ups. Each family must organize at least two events per year. Generally, several families act together. Having more people reduces the casualty rate. Logically speaking, since the young boss is a viscount, he should also participate."
The planet chief changed his posture and said, "But don't worry, little boss. I will tell you in advance when we all act together in the second half of the year."
The planet chief is an official directly appointed by the emperor and has certain power to dispatch troops. The task of clearing out the alien beasts mainly falls on the army.
"I'll trouble you, Lord Planet Master, about the matter of the exotic beast meat." Yun Luo realized that the Lord Planet Master was trying to show goodwill, so he returned the favor.
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother. I wonder if the boss will sell the meat strips from last time after the opening this time?" Thinking of the delicacy that was snatched away by His Majesty, the planetary governor felt sad. He thought he could eat it at the banquet, but he didn't.
People are always like this. The more they can't get something, the more they miss it. What's more, it is really fragrant. Just smelling it makes your mouth water.
It took Yun Luo a while to react before he remembered that the planetary governor was probably referring to the fried meat strips he made as a snack last time. He said with certainty, "Since the planetary governor has personally asked for it, there will definitely be some."
The planetary leader was satisfied with the answer he wanted. His subordinates were confused and asked in a low voice, "She was just a female exiled by the family. Why is your Excellency so..."
"You don't understand." The planet chief thought to himself, that was the person His Majesty wanted to take care of, how could he dare to neglect him? Besides, even if His Majesty didn't exist, the young boss was worthy of friendship just based on his own abilities.
Samuel was enduring pain that was getting more and more severe. This time the situation seemed a little different from before. The pain stripped Samuel of all his mind, and he didn't notice it.
I don’t know how long it took, but a dazzling silver light appeared in the enclosed space, followed by a loud bang. Under the huge energy impact, the entire secret room exploded from the inside.
Boom——
When the smoke and dust cleared, the man in the secret room disappeared.
A white long-haired kitten poked its head out from the gap, blinked its big silver-blue eyes blankly, its whiskers trembled slightly, and it crawled out of the ruins with a clatter.
"Meow?"
Someone is approaching!
The kitten pricked up its ears, lowered its body, looked around vigilantly, its nose twitching slightly, and found a certain direction. Before people arrived, it jumped up and ran into the woods.
Gone.
