Qu Lingyuan pursed her lips and remained silent.
She didn't know why this body was so fragile. Could it be a side effect of being able to sense the jade's energy?
The bruises on my shoulders cannot be touched at all; they hurt so much that it's unbearable.
Sighing softly, she agreed: "I'll wait for you to come back."
Logar went to the dense forest, and Qu Lingyuan went to school.
Due to poor health, she has not attended practical classes for a week.
Several female orcs in the back row gathered together and whispered.
"I think I saw Teacher Dottie out of town."
"Did you go to the jungle?"
"That should be the case. He's definitely not in school."
Several people looked at Qu Lingyuan with ill intentions, turned around and walked out of the classroom.
Today is the day with the most classes every month. It was dark when school was over. Not knowing whether Logar had returned, Qu Lingyuan walked home in a hurry.
As she was about to pass through a dim alley, her rapid pace slowed down.
"Yi Ling, go and see if there is anyone inside..." Qu Lingyuan tiptoed to the wall, holding the backpack tightly in both hands.
Her powerful sixth sense told her that danger lurked in that dim alley.
"Okay." Yi Ling stood up from her shoulder and flew into the alley.
After a while, Yi Ling's cold voice echoed in her mind: "There are two people inside, holding wet cloths soaked in the juice of the poisonous vine."
Qu Lingyuan had no idea about the plants in this world. Just as she was about to ask, she heard Yi Ling continue, "The poison vine is a plant with the mildest toxicity. Its sap can cause muscle weakness and a coma."
With a sneer on his lips, Qu Lingyuan understood.
Isn’t it just a knockout drug?
She calmly took out her phone and sent a text message to the Gambling Stone Association's law enforcement team, then stood there quietly waiting.
The two people in the alley were getting a little impatient.
"The time Miss Chris gave is now. Why haven't you come yet?" a small orc asked timidly.
"I don't know." The other man was a little taciturn, but he looked wretched.
They didn't know that Yi Ling was eavesdropping nearby, nor did they know that the conversation had reached Qu Lingyuan's ears.
It's Chrissy...
Qu Lingyuan thought of the sneaky female orcs behind the classroom, and her heart sank.
Do you really think she knows nothing? In the same classroom, Yi Ling's hearing aid is the most powerful tool.
The members of the Gambling Stone Association's law enforcement team arrived at the scene quietly. They did not sound any sirens because they were afraid that the criminals would become alert and escape.
Seeing a few people in uniform, Qu Lingyuan pointed at the alley with her cold little hand, picked up her schoolbag and walked forward.
"Boss, the target is here." The short man clenched the wet cloth in his hand and prepared to walk out of the alley.
"Let's go, follow them." The taciturn and wretched man also stopped being casual.
Outside the alley, Qu Lingyuan's petite figure flashed by. The two beastmen walked out of the alley and were about to attack when they were grabbed by the arms on the left and right by four burly law enforcement officers.
"What are you holding?"
"Hand it over and come with us."
“…”
When Logar was returning home from the dense forest, he encountered law enforcement officers escorting two male orcs away. The figure walking in front of him had its tail swaying, and he looked very familiar.
"Eve?" Logar ran over and called her, "What happened?"
Qu Lingyuan smelled a strong smell of blood. She was stunned for a moment, looked back and said, "I don't know."
In just one day, Logar in front of him looked a little disheveled. The clothes on his arm were cut, and under the cut clothes, there was a bloodstain in the same direction. The clothes on his body were stained with blood, and it was unclear whether it was his own or the beast's.
"Are you hurt?" Qu Lingyuan looked up nervously.
Looking at the passers-by, Logar's face darkened: "Let's talk about it when we get home."
After returning home, Qu Lingyuan put down what she was holding and sat down next to Logar.
"What's going on? You look so cautious."
Logar frowned and hesitated for a moment before answering, "This year's beast tide may be coming earlier. There are some unusual movements in the dense forest."
Not knowing much about this, Qu Lingyuan simply asked, "Will you be in danger?"
"I..." A gleam flashed in Logar's eyes and he paused.
Whenever a beast tide comes, male orcs always gather outside the city to protect the females in the city.
In everyone's eyes, Logar was a very powerful orc. In the past, people would only say to him: "You must protect everyone."
No one has ever worried about his safety.
He was a little distressed and answered truthfully, "It will be a little dangerous. This year... I'm the team leader, and I haven't even reached level ten yet. I don't know what will happen."
The beast tide is imminent, and there is not enough time for him to slowly accumulate energy and advance, unless... there is a large amount of jade.
"Violets are not enough?" Qu Lingyuan raised her eyelids in surprise.
Logar nodded regretfully: "I haven't used it yet, but it shouldn't be enough."
This is not a big problem.
Qu Lingyuan was confident and raised her right hand firmly: "Don't worry! Leave it to me!"
"You want to go gambling on stones?" Logar looked at her confident expression, walked into the bedroom and took out a card, "It will all be yours from now on."
Is this the rhythm of letting her manage the money?
Taking the card without hesitation, Qu Lingyuan smiled secretly.
I wanted to find an opportunity to punish Chris, but the most urgent task was to solve the problem of Logar's safety.
————
Logar didn't want others to know that the beast tide had come early, for fear of causing panic.
But soon, the Gambling Stone Guild realized this matter and summoned some powerful male orcs from large families to prepare emergency countermeasures.
Logar was the captain who had been decided long ago, so he was naturally among them, but he was not present at the meeting today.
"Quiet! Who will call Logar Doti?" The president of the Gambling Stone Association stood up from his seat and slammed the table.
Old Sterglin looked at Claire, who was sitting at the door listening in a dignified manner, and blinked his sparkling eyes: "Claire, if you have nothing to do, go call Logar."
After observing for a period of time, Rick was indeed not as good as Logar, and was far behind. He still hoped that Chris could seize the opportunity wisely.
"Okay." Christine stood up from her chair and left.
When she got closer, she saw Qu Lingyuan walking out of the house from afar.
Today is a school day. Chris was taken to the Gambling Stone Guild by Elder Sauron and asked for leave from school.
What was Eve doing?
She secretly watched the figure walking away, and calmly came to the door of Logar's house.
I knocked on the door, but there was no response.
Just now when Qu Lingyuan went out, Chris clearly saw that she did not lock the door and pushed it open and walked in.
After searching for a while, Chris finally found Logar in the bedroom.
