"It's not this." Bai Yuheng shook his head and said to Yu Nian.
"These are all the injured snake beastmen in the shelter." Pei Ling said.
"Maybe he is not injured, or his wound has healed?" Yu Nian expressed his guess.
In order to avoid confusion caused by too many people knowing the truth, Yu Nian only asked Pei Ling for help.
This black shadow either came with their warship or was a male orc who was already on this planet.
Pei Ling knows the most about the orcs on this trip, so with his help, things will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
But no one expected that after searching all the injured snake beastmen in the shelter, it turned out that the black shadow was not the one.
Bai Yuheng frowned and thought, "The damage caused by my ability can't be healed in such a short time. He must have used some method to cover up his wound."
For a moment, the situation seemed to be at a stalemate.
"General!" The guard guarding the observation room suddenly ran to Pei Ling with an anxious look.
"What happened?"
"It's Han Chen. He seems to be in a bad condition." The guard said hurriedly.
When Yu Nian heard his words, she immediately went outside the observation room and could clearly see the situation inside the observation room through a layer of one-way glass.
On the simple bed, the figure that should have been strong was now curled up, his messy clothes almost bursting due to his swollen muscles.
Although he couldn't see Han Chen's expression, Yu Nian could feel that he must be in extreme pain at the moment.
A hand suddenly grabbed Yu Nian's wrist, stopping her from leaving.
Pei Ling lowered his head and looked at Yu Nian quietly, "Your Highness, Guard Han is currently transforming into a beast. The danger is unpredictable. I cannot let you take the risk."
Unable to break free, Yu Nian looked up at him and said, "I can help Han Chen and stop him from transforming into a beast."
The dark grey eyes were like the calm ocean, deep and captivating.
"I cannot and will not let you take this kind of risk."
Yu Nian grabbed the hand on her wrist and pried it apart one by one, leaving deep finger marks. "I can take the risk of my own actions."
She pulled her hand back and looked at Pei Ling, "As for the Admiral's concerns, I will keep them in mind."
"Your Highness! Have you ever thought about what kind of punishment the orcs traveling with you will receive if something happens to you?" Pei Ling raised his eyelids and turned his gaze to the one-way glass.
The human figure lying on the bed was no longer there, replaced by a beast that was transforming into an animal and was unpredictably dangerous.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, clearly reflected on the glass.
Yu Nian took only one step and then stopped.
She clenched her hands at her sides.
Pei Ling was right. Every decision she made wasn't made for herself. If anything happened to her, the Queen Mother might vent her anger on the orcs.
But, Han Chen...
Yu Nian slowly raised his eyes and his gaze fell on the glass, clearly taking in the ferocious beast in the house.
The scarlet eyes looked like two burning flames in the dark observation room. The huge beast completely occupied the thin bed. Its tail swayed slowly up and down, and its eyes turned to observe the surroundings.
"Are you sure he is still him now?"
The man's cold voice suddenly rang in Yu Nian's ears, like a thunderclap that made her hair stand on end.
The beast in the house jumped off the bed and circled around in the small house like a lion patrolling its territory.
"Tibetan Mastiffs have a strong sense of territory, but once they recognize their master, they are also very obedient. However, Your Highness, you cannot gamble."
"Your mental power is only level B, and it is very difficult to comfort an unconscious orc. But if you can improve your mental power to level A, you might be able to give it a try." Bai Yuheng stood behind Yu Nian. Although he couldn't see the expression on her face, he could see her pain and entanglement.
"Really? Would it be enough if I could be promoted to level A?" Yu Nian turned to look at Bai Yuheng in surprise.
Pei Ling's expression slightly tightened. "Whether it's an orc or a female, it's almost impossible to increase their spiritual power in a short period of time. Imperial Master, won't your method harm His Highness's body?"
Bai Yuheng spread out his palm, revealing a white pill in it. "This medicine can help Your Highness improve his mental strength for a short period of time, but... after 24 hours, the mental strength will counteract it, causing Your Highness to suffer a splitting headache at best, or fall into a coma, with his life or death uncertain."
Unlike Pei Ling who weighed the pros and cons and stopped it, Bai Yuheng put the right of decision in front of Yu Nian.
Yu Nian looked at the pill in his palm, then turned his head to look at the Tibetan Mastiff in the observation room, and hesitated for a moment.
As if it had sensed something, the Tibetan Mastiff squatted in the middle of the room, its eyes fixed on the one-way glass.
In his sight, it was just an ordinary wall, but his animal instinct told him that there was a very important person waiting for him.
Yu Nian met his gaze.
It was just a moment, but it seemed like a thousand years.
"What will happen to him if we leave him alone?" Yu Nian asked softly.
"Currently, there is no technology that can treat orcs who have completely lost their minds. You can try continuous psychiatric treatment later on, which should have some effect," said Bai Yuheng.
Yu Nian knew that identity meant responsibility. Since she now bore the title of Crown Princess and had promised yesterday to treat all the victims, she certainly could not go back on her word easily.
However, Han Chen is the closest person to her since she came to this strange world.
If she abandoned him at this moment, she only knew that she would regret it.
"Your Highness! Are you sure you want to do this?" Bai Yuheng saw that Yu Nian took the pill and swallowed it without any hesitation, and he didn't even have time to stop him.
The pill melted in his mouth, and Yu Nian clearly felt a warm current flowing through his body, and his spiritual sea of consciousness began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I will not give up on him, nor will I give up on the responsibilities and obligations I have assumed."
Pei Ling watched the slender figure walk into the observation room with firm steps.
Youyou said, "National Master, our prince is very different from what is rumored..."
Bai Yuheng stared at the scene inside the glass without blinking, "Your Highness, it's Your Highness."
There was a hint of doubt hidden in the man's dark gray eyes.
The burning, bloating and tearing sensations tore at Yu Nian's spiritual sea of consciousness every minute and every second, and even the spiritual tentacles grew many times larger from thin to thick at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From grade B to grade A, it is a leap in quality and quantity.
But this is only temporary.
Yu Nian gritted his teeth, endured the pain of mental tearing, and walked step by step towards the Tibetan Mastiff in the dark observation room.
The moment he noticed the sound, those scarlet eyes suddenly stared at Yu Nian.
The beast suddenly stood up, hunched over in a defensive posture, and even bared its teeth to warn Yu Nian who continued to approach him.
