"I fell into a coma after absorbing the violet and did not do anything wrong to Chris." Logar regained his composure, picked up the dull violet, and explained to everyone.
Claire pursed her lips, her face full of sorrow. "If you don't want to admit it, forget it. There's no need to use jade as a shield..."
"A real man should take responsibility for his actions. You don't have to do this." Old Sterglin looked at Logar indifferently, clearly favoring Chris.
No one present dared to speak, and Logar and Qu Lingyuan had nothing to say in front of the two scoundrels.
After a while, Chris breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "The beast tide is more important, you don't have to worry about me..."
Old Sterglin's eyes instantly turned fierce: "How can that be...!"
"Claire is right," said Alvin, the president of the Gambling Stone Guild, in a conciliatory tone. "She's a sensible person. Steglin... let's not dwell on it for now."
No one dared to disobey Alvin's orders. He was the supreme ruler of the entire orc world. Old Sterglin had no choice but to stop and sit aside tiredly.
Only Qu Lingyuan glanced at Chris suspiciously.
Could she really be that kind?
Alvin turned to look at Qu Lingyuan, a hint of a smile on his serious face. He pointed at her small cart of jade and asked, "Did you gamble away all this today?"
Qu Lingyuan nodded obediently: "Yes."
Her tender little face became increasingly rosy, and it was unclear whether she was angry or shy because a stranger spoke to her.
Alvin simply thought the child was adorable, and his dignified voice softened. "I find you quite pleasing to the eye, and I've heard of your deeds before. I wonder...would you be willing to be my apprentice?"
His words hit everyone like a bolt from the blue.
Alvin is the highest-level stone gambler in the entire Orc world. He had long surpassed level ten to hold this position, but he has never accepted any apprentices.
Chris thought she had dug a deep hole for Qu Lingyuan, but she didn't expect the other party to have no reaction, and she unexpectedly won the favor of Alvin.
At this moment, Qu Lingyuan didn't know who this person was, but she felt that he looked familiar, so she nodded unconsciously, her ears twitching with the movement. "I'm very happy to do that."
The president of the Gambling Stone Guild has always been a female orc, but the beast tide is a major problem that threatens everyone's safety, and Alvin, as the supreme leader, has to get involved.
"Since everyone is here, let's hold the meeting here." Alvin stroked Qu Lingyuan's ears and led everyone to the living room.
She first asked Logar, "It seems your partner has found a lot of resources for you. Are you confident you can reach level ten this time?"
Hearing her ask this, Logar looked at the cart with lingering fear and answered affirmatively: "It will definitely work this time."
With so many jades, if he can't break through the tenth level paper, he might as well commit suicide.
"Then let's confirm your captain status once again," Alvin said, his expression serious and his brows furrowed. He looked at the older male orcs present and said, "You're all old men now, so it should be no problem for each of you to lead a team."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded in unison: "No problem."
The beast tide is a battle in which all the males in the city must participate. Each captain has to choose his own subordinates, which is not Alvin's responsibility.
They also had another important issue to discuss at this meeting.
That's why the beast tide comes early.
Old Stergreen said it was a climate problem, but Alvin felt that something strange had happened inside the jungle, but after discussing it for a long time, no one knew the specific reason.
The main cause of the beast tide is the rapid reproduction of wild beasts.
But what exactly caused the beasts to reproduce earlier?
"After resisting the beast tide, why don't you all go to the dense forest together to take a look?" Old Stergreen said indifferently.
Another older man immediately retorted, "Don't you know how dangerous the deep woods are?"
Alvin frowned in displeasure. "Alright, let's not argue at this time. Since we can't come up with a specific reason, let's wait until we've resisted the beast tide before discussing it. First, decide who will lead how many people!"
After saying that, she stood up and left through the door.
The rest of the people were still discussing the issue of the beast tide leader. Qu Lingyuan felt bored and went back to her room.
Soon, Chris came in.
She looked at Qu Lingyuan shyly and lowered her head.
"I know that Logar's fiancée is no longer me. Even though this has happened, I won't have any delusions." After a pause, she continued, "Logar... he likes to eat the meat of the Fire Cloud Beast the most and doesn't like vegetables. He used to take me to the end of Outlet Street to eat..."
Listening to her gentle voice, Qu Lingyuan propped up his temple with one hand and looked at her coldly with his head tilted. "Will you shut up? I really don't believe there's anything going on between you and him. Stop pretending. I want to rest."
Chrissy was shocked, and her shy expression became even more intense: "Didn't you see the red on the bed sheet just now?"
Seeing that she was still pretending, Qu Lingyuan was annoyed and irritated. Her cute little face lost its blush and she screamed in her head, "Yiling! Scan!"
Yi Ling understood and circled around Claire before replying calmly, "Left leg, inner thigh, one centimeter wound."
Chris was sitting on the edge of the bed, wearing a short, thin silk skirt.
Qu Lingyuan closed her eyes, too lazy to raise her hands, and with a flick of her tail, she lifted up her skirt and pointed at the small wound exposed on the inside of her thigh.
Her tone was full of threats, but her voice was low: "Is this the blood you were talking about? I know everything, and I gave you some face by not exposing it. Why do you have to be so shameless?"
