Mu Youran was impressed by Qiong's verbal skills and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up: "Qiong, you're amazing! You managed to shut those males up and make them run away in a sorry state all by yourself."
"hey-hey!"
Qiong scratched her head sheepishly. She had just lost her temper, but she didn't expect You Ran to praise her.
If Wolf were bigger, he might be saying he acted impulsively now.
"They look down on people too much."
Mu Youran: "Yes, we should fight back when we encounter orcs like this."
Suddenly Wen'e was bumped again, and he slapped his arm in annoyance.
"You Ran, let's hurry up and leave, there are so many people here and they smell terrible!"
The female who was told she smelled bad ran away heartbroken upon hearing this.
Mu Youran turned her head and saw his tightly furrowed brows and displeased expression. There was no way around it; he was just too eye-catching.
In the entire Beast King City, almost every handsome male is well-known, and these males are mostly from aristocratic families, so ordinary females wouldn't bother with them.
But Wen'er was a complete stranger, and so good-looking, so naturally he became the object of their attention.
Let's go.
This time, Wen'e was smarter and picked up You Ran directly, which would cause any females with ulterior motives to stay away.
"Just tell me how to get there."
Mu Youran suddenly stood much taller than the crowd, and everything around her could be seen clearly.
Wolf wanted to pick up Joan so she wouldn't run away, mainly because she was too restless, looking around here and there.
Unexpectedly, Joan didn't care for his hug at all and broke free.
"Don't hug me!"
Dog Egg, seeing Wolf carrying a large bundle on his back, sometimes at the front of the group, sometimes at the back, chasing after Qiong, couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Big Wolf, don't run away, we'll all keep an eye on you."
The other orcs chimed in, "Yeah, it won't get lost!"
Wolf rolled his eyes at them. Anyone can say nice things, but what if something goes wrong?
What if he loses it? Will these people compensate him with a Qiong?
Just as I was passing by the three-way intersection, I suddenly noticed a crowd gathered at the entrance of the Ni Chang Ge (霓裳阁) on another street, watching the spectacle.
Meanwhile, Ma Wanjin was standing at the shop entrance with his hands on his hips, saying something that clearly wasn't good news.
She immediately pointed in that direction and said with some concern, "Shall we go take a look over there?"
Wen'e immediately changed direction and headed in another direction, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.
Even the worst clothes they wore were linen, and some were even white silk.
Wolf and his companions wisely avoided squeezing in, lest they be ridiculed for being small. Mainly, they were carrying a lot of things and it wasn't appropriate for them to crowd into the area, lest they tear the orcs' clothes, which they couldn't afford to pay for.
You Ran was surrounded by Wen E, so Ma Wanjin spotted her immediately, excitedly ran over, and hugged her shoulders.
"You Ran, you're finally back!"
Suddenly having her neck locked, Mu Youran felt like she was about to suffocate and quickly patted her back: "Let go!"
Wolf and the others were outside, but Qiong followed them in. She was very curious about what had happened inside that had attracted so many onlookers.
Unexpectedly, as soon as You Ran got out of Wen E's arms, a strange female hugged her neck, and it looked like You Ran could hardly breathe.
He quickly reached out and grabbed Ma Wanjin's arm, saying, "Let go of me right now."
Ma Wanjin was already simmering with anger, and now that a female other than You Ran was pulling at his arm, his displeasure suddenly surfaced.
He roared down at them, "Who are you?"
Qiong was not one to be trifled with either, and was about to start a fight when You Ran stopped her: "Don't argue, don't argue, we're all on the same side."
He quickly took their hands and said, "This is Qiong, and this is Ma Wanjin. You'll be friends after you meet, so don't fight."
Upon hearing the word "friends," the two of them rolled their eyes at each other dismissively and turned their heads away.
"Hey, Ma Wanjin, hurry up and give me the clothes. Don't think you can get away with it just because Mu Youran is back!"
Suddenly, a man in a long green and white silk dress walked over arrogantly, his brows furrowed with displeasure.
Mu Youran remembered that this piece of clothing was the first one to be auctioned off, and it was bought by Fei Qiu, the young master of the Falcon Clan.
The thought of that name made her want to laugh.
With a forced smile, he asked, "Wan Jin, what's wrong with you all?"
Ma Wanjin crossed his arms impatiently: "You Ran, you don't know, he's a scoundrel!"
Upon hearing this, Fei Qiu objected: "How am I a rogue? It was clearly your Ni Chang Pavilion that broke your promise first."
"We agreed on this three months ago, and the goods were to be delivered today. Now you can't produce them. Is this your problem? How dare you say I'm being unreasonable?"
At this moment, the surrounding orcs nodded in agreement: "Yes, the clothes from the Rainbow Pavilion are worth a fortune, and these were ordered three months ago. If they can't deliver them now, isn't this just extortion?"
"Hey, I think Ma Wanjin only dares to act so recklessly because she has the Hidden Prince backing her up."
"Yes, I think so. I heard that this Ni Chang Pavilion was opened by her and the Princess. She dared to do this, so it must have been at the Princess's behest."
"You guys think that since those two females are running a shop together, they're still in that kind of relationship, hehe!"
Mu Youran felt incredibly frustrated. She had only just returned and was already hearing these rumors. It was truly...
He turned and glanced at the gossiping orcs, then took a step back and walked to the main entrance of the Rainbow Pavilion.
"Everyone, since this matter has occurred in my Ni Chang Pavilion, it will definitely be handled properly. Please don't make wild guesses."
"Anyone who spreads rumors and causes serious consequences will be held accountable!"
At this moment, a sharp-eyed orc recognized Mu Youran and immediately screamed in the crowd.
"Oh dear, it's the princess who's been missing for so long."
"Hey, it really is true. Last time I saw her, she was heavily pregnant, and this time she's heavily pregnant again. Looks like I'm really lucky."
"I just don't know if this baby is the Hidden Prince's or the Great Witch's."
"Based on my years of experience delivering babies, a belly that's big and round definitely means it's an egg, so this must be the Hidden Prince's!"
Someone nearby scoffed, "Tch."
"It's big and round, it must be an egg, so why couldn't it be the Great Shaman's?"
"Are you out of your mind? The great sorcerer's magic is unparalleled in the world, how could his child be conceived so easily?"
Mu Youran: ...
These people really know how to change the subject; now they're discussing whose baby is in their belly.
