The group assignments this time are the same as last time.
However, Ling Yunxi's team has changed from having two members, Qi Liyuan and Xiao Yeyu, to a four-person team.
"Is everyone here?"
The burly, middle-aged plant beast master of the wolf clan spoke.
"Today's plant class will mainly teach you how to use your superpowers to generate plants in various complex environments."
"The herbalism class will be the same as your cooking class last time," said the thin fox-clan herbalist.
"Being able to identify common and used herbs is the main content of this field trip."
Among the beast masters who went out this time, in addition to plant beast masters and herbal beast masters, there was also a beast master with supernatural abilities who was specially invited by the Beast Academy from the Supernatural Abilities Academy.
"Let's set off," said the Plant Beast Master.
Then a group of young orcs followed three middle-aged orc masters on a study trip.
In a four-person team.
Xiao Yeyu and Qi Liyuan were in front.
Ling Yunxi and Xiao Mingyan were behind.
On the road.
"My lady, are you thirsty?"
"I'm not thirsty."
"My lady, are you hungry?"
I'm not hungry.
"My lady, are you tired? Let me carry you on my back."
"Not tired yet."
"Mistress, be careful, there's a stone here."
"good."
...
They thought they wouldn't see the two beasts if they walked ahead, but their hearing was too good, and they still heard Ling Yunxi and her beast husband talking in hushed tones.
As Qi Liyuan listened to their conversation, his gaze cooled, and a barely perceptible, icy smile curved his lips.
Inner monologue: Noisy.
Xiao Yeyu deliberately fanned himself by his ear, his eyes full of mockery, making an exaggerated appearance of being "so nauseatingly sweet".
"Help! What crime have my ears committed today to deserve this punishment?"
He looked ahead, too exhausted to complain to Qi Liyuan beside him.
He then walked up to Jiang Yichuan and said, "Let's switch seats."
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yichuan asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just want to say a few words to Brother Xuan."
Jiang Yichuan looked puzzled, but still switched places with him.
Although Jiang Yichuan was not as tall as Qi Liyuan, he was not short either. He tilted his head slightly and could easily see the two people behind him holding hands.
A sudden, inexplicable feeling of bitterness welled up inside her, and the fox tail behind her shook impatiently.
"You like her?"
Noticing this, Qi Liyuan suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichuan's wagging tail suddenly stopped.
His pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately retorted, "You're the one who likes her!"
"Oh..." Qi Liyuan noticed his flustered expression and gave a soft hum.
"I don't like her..." he nodded.
"Do you like it?" Jiang Yichuan asked in return, his tone casual yet probing.
Qi Liyuan remained expressionless, but a dark current surged deep within his eyes.
"No."
He answered simply and coldly.
Ling Yunxi hugged Xiao Mingyan's arm: "Mingyan, do you feel cooler like this?"
"Yes, it's much cooler now, but Mistress, it's best to use your powers less."
Upon hearing this, Qi Liyuan caught a glimpse of her hand out of the corner of his eye, from holding Xiao Mingyan's hand to her entire body pressing against and hugging his arm.
A complex emotion flashed in his cold eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"You're using your superpowers right at the start of the trip. If there are any ferocious beasts later, don't expect me to come to your rescue."
He spoke calmly and in a low voice, without even turning his gaze to look at her.
Ling Yunxi looked up at him, shrugged, and continued to hug Xiao Mingyan.
Her contact with Xiao Mingyan nourished her special abilities.
On the other hand, because she ate too many spiritual herbs last night, her body could not fully absorb them at her current level.
It requires consuming the turbid energy on one side and absorbing the essence on the other.
She never intended to rely on these orcs who already loathed her when danger came.
"My lady, I will protect you, don't worry," Xiao Mingyan said gently.
"Yes!" Ling Yunxi nodded in response, smiling as she looked up at him. "I will protect you too!"
Xiao Mingyan tightened his grip on Ling Yunxi's hand, a tender look appearing in his eyes.
Hearing their intimate conversation, a barely perceptible hint of regret flashed in Qi Liyuan's eyes.
But his face remained cold.
Why would he bother arguing about these things with a female?
Females need protection; otherwise, they wouldn't need to specifically call out their beast mates.
...
Throughout the morning, the plant veterinarian led them through plant growth drills in swamps, sand dunes, mountains, and barren land.
Herbalists would stop and introduce any herbs they saw along the way.
The whole process was quick and easy, and we didn't stop for lunch until almost afternoon.
In the woods, on a flat area of a mountain ridge.
"Come, Mistress." Xiao Mingyan handed Ling Yunxi some dried beast meat and fruit.
The other orcs around him were also resting.
At this moment, Pu Yueling wanted to take this opportunity to go out. She whispered to Pu Shangji beside her, "Brother, I heard there are spiritual herbs over there. Do you want to go and pick some?"
"Where did you hear that from?" Pu Shangji frowned slightly, puzzled.
"You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, I know there are plenty of them. Do you want to go?"
Before Pu Shangji could speak, she continued, "By the way, let's invite Ling Yunxi along."
"You are not allowed to go."
Without even thinking, Pu Shangji denied it, "She won't go, and you're not allowed to go either."
"elder brother!"
Pu Yueling stomped her foot in anger, then secretly glanced at Mo Yanche sitting to the side and calmed down a bit.
"Yan Che, are you going? I know a place nearby with lots of spiritual herbs."
Mo Yanche glanced at her and said, "You should listen to your brother."
"Yan Che, I heard that when the Beast Academy courses end, only beastmen of higher rank will be qualified to enter the Supernatural Ability Academy. Don't you want to go?"
Mo Yanche's expression changed slightly, and a complex emotion welled up in the depths of his eyes.
“Yueling, if he’s not going, I’ll go with you,” said the jackal beastman who sat next to Mo Yanche.
"Where to? Where to?"
At this moment, two male orcs nearby came over and said.
A moment later.
"I told you not to go!" Pu Shangji scolded her as she and several orcs got up to leave.
Pu Yueling turned around and sneered, "Brother, you are so strong yourself, you have already entered the Superpower Academy, but you refuse to help me."
I have reason to suspect that you are trying to prevent me from becoming stronger in order to obtain the position of High Priest.
My mother said that the position of High Priest will forever belong to me.
Pu Shang remained silent.
"I told you so, don't worry, brother. With so many orcs with me, you don't need to worry about how to explain things to your mother when we get back."
Pu Shang frowned in silence.
"Let's go." Pu Yueling and the others turned and left.
"Aren't you going to follow?"
"This is what Mo Yanche said while sitting to the side."
Pu Shangji looked up in Ling Yunxi's direction and found that she was also gone.
