"I just won the bet." Qu Lingyuan looked at her with a smile.
"Is it for Logar?"
Ever since Mrs. Albert knew that her daughter had won blood jade and violet in gambling, she felt that nothing could challenge her nerves. She never expected that her daughter could win black jade in gambling.
"Well, that's all I can do."
The mother and daughter walked into the house with their heads down and heavy hearts on their shoulders.
———
After living in a daze and fear for an unknown amount of time, Mrs. Albert calculated the time and found that the beast tide had been going on for a month.
Logar had been gone for a month, and Old Albert and Hiro had not returned home either.
The city gates are kept closed and female orcs are not allowed to go out.
The school teachers are not planning to start the school term either. According to Mrs. Albert, everyone is very scared every time there is a beast tide, but each time it only lasts for half a month.
Not knowing what to do, Qu Lingyuan just stared at the black jade in a daze every day, vaguely feeling that something was about to happen.
The first time, Mrs. Albert burst into the house without knocking, and without saying a word, she dragged her out, across the street and through the market.
There were a lot of people at the city gate, and all the female orcs gathered here, waiting for their partners to return.
Qu Lingyuan and Mrs. Albert looked at each other, remained silent, and huddled together, staring at the crowd.
From a distance, Qu Lingyuan saw Logar, standing tall and handsome among the crowd.
After not seeing him for such a long time, he looked a little disheveled, with blood and dust all over his body, but he did not look tired.
Pushed by Mrs. Albert, she ran uncontrollably and rushed into Logar's arms.
I vaguely remember that she rushed towards me like this on the day she confessed her love to me.
Logar's unique low voice sounded above his head, with a smile: "I missed you so much."
Tears welled up in her eyes, but Qu Lingyuan held back her tears and punched his waist with her little fist: "I... don't miss you at all."
A faint laugh came from above her head. Qu Lingyuan felt a little ashamed and angry. She wrapped her arms tightly around Logar's thin waist, not caring at all about the smell of blood that penetrated her nose.
"Logar?"
A discordant voice came over, sounding very familiar, like Chris.
"What are you doing here?" Logar frowned at her, not wanting her to disturb their hard-earned reunion.
Chris licked her dry lips, embarrassed and sad, her face flushed and she said, "I...I'm pregnant."
Logar and Qu Lingyuan didn't know how to react.
Mrs. Albert's reaction was even more intense than the others involved: "What? Pregnancy!? Logar! What did you do behind my daughter's back?"
Hearing his mother-in-law's question, Logar became anxious and speechless.
Qu Lingyuan waved her hand to stop Mrs. Albert, with a cold look on her face, and she was not happy with Chris.
Where does this woman get the nerve to say she's pregnant? She was already exposed last time, and she still has the nerve to say she's pregnant.
"Yiling, she is not pregnant, right?" Qu Lingyuan asked lightly in her mind.
Yi Ling narrowed his eyes and scanned Claire up and down: "Not pregnant."
After receiving the expected answer, Qu Lingyuan smiled unexpectedly: "You're pregnant, that's great. Why don't you come live with us, Chris? I'll take good care of you, and I'm sure you'll give birth to a beautiful and smart cub!"
He winked at Logar and Mrs. Albert, and they understood.
Logar immediately put on an ecstatic expression: "I'm going to be a father? Chris, come home with me."
Mrs. Albert snorted coldly: "Since my daughter doesn't mind, I won't say anything. You can go to Logar's house and take care of your pregnancy."
Watching the two people's coordinated performance, Qu Lingyuan bit her lower lip and smiled. Her clear eyes stared at Chris, making Chris feel as if she was about to be stared through.
The gestation period of a female orc is only five months. Qu Lingyuan tilted her head, her eyes filled with smiles.
She wanted to see what Chris would give birth to in a few months.
"I..." Chris wanted to hesitate. Just now, a few people were looking at her coldly, how could they suddenly change so quickly?
"You don't have to worry. Since I did it, I will bear the consequences. Besides, I really like the little cubs." Logar smiled while suppressing his nausea.
Qu Lingyuan didn't give Chris any chance to hesitate. She took her hand and stroked it like a sister.
"From now on, you just take good care of your pregnancy. Logar and I will take care of you until you give birth to a beautiful little orc." Qu Lingyuan's smile did not reach her eyes.
Chris's heart was beating fast, and a sense of strangeness flashed through her mind, but she didn't catch it.
Mrs. Albert didn't even want to look at Chris and continued to stare at the city gate.
"Is anyone from Albert's family here?"
A tall and strong man stood in the crowd and shouted.
Mrs. Albert tried to reply, but her voice was so weak and gentle that the other party could not hear her at all.
Logar waved at the male and shouted, "Over here!"
When the male orc came over, they noticed that there were two people carrying a stretcher following him.
One of them was Hiro. His face was so stained with blood that his features could not be seen clearly, but his anxiety was obvious. Lying on the stretcher was old Albert, with his eyes tightly closed.
"What's wrong with him!" Mrs. Albert walked over slowly with trembling hands.
Qu Lingyuan also left Chris and hurried to the stretcher.
"He's not dead yet..." The tall male paused and said, "He needs a lot of energy to heal his injuries, otherwise his life will be in danger."
Mrs. Albert shuddered: "I...I'm going to gamble on stones!"
"Mom!" Qu Lingyuan stopped her panicked steps and gently comforted her, "There's Mo Yu at home."
Mrs. Albert was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. She looked at Qu Lingyuan lovingly and said, "That's what you prepared for Logar. He's still young, and the black jade can give you a better future."
"That's not necessary," Logar took over the stretcher carrying old Albert. "I'm still young and have plenty of time and opportunities. Let's go back to Albert's house."
Mrs. Albert lowered her head and was pulled to Qu Lingyuan's side. She mechanically followed them home.
Chris was left behind, her eyes full of resentment. These people were so enthusiastic, but in the end she was still an outsider.
As soon as she returned home, Qu Lingyuan opened the safe at home and carefully took out the black jade.
Old Albert was so injured that he could no longer absorb energy on his own and could only rely on other male orcs to act as a go-between.
A higher-level male orc would have a better effect, but the harmony between father and son is higher. After a period of discussion, it was decided to have Shiro act as a go-between.
The energy of the black jade was too great. Hiro stroked the jade with one hand and grabbed old Albert's wrist with the other, cold sweat slowly seeping out of his face.
Having never experienced this before, Mrs. Albert and Qu Lingyuan were so scared that their lips turned pale.
"It's okay, he just looks very tired." Logar had seen this scene when he was very young, and he comforted them softly.
