"How could this be?" The beastmen erupted in uproar. They knew Guo Xiaoxiao was angry, which was why she said that. No one dared to provoke her again, and they all took a large step back, creating a significant space for her—a gesture of weakness.
When an orc shows respect to someone, they will keep their distance, lower their head, and hunch their body, displaying a posture of submission.
"We don't mean anything by it, we're just making a suggestion. If the High Priest doesn't want to take it, no one will dare force you."
"Yeah, enough said. Everyone take two bottles of healing potion, and that's enough."
"Every veterinarian kept the healing potion tightly under their wing, only taking it out during wartime. After the war, any unused potion had to be taken back. It was already very kind of them to give us two bottles to keep on our person."
Guo Xiaoxiao was unaware that the veterinarians had stopped distributing the healing water, but everyone has their own policies, and who can blame them when someone tried to steal it?
"Everyone, follow me. Go to Arno's and each of you get two bottles. Also, take any remaining gourds you have, I'm worried we won't have enough. These are for people with facial injuries; those without any injuries don't need to come."
Ha... all that hype. Turns out, after all that fuss, they got nothing. All they got were onlookers, crowding around to spread the word because they heard they could get healing water.
After Guo Xiaoxiao said this, some of the orcs left, feeling embarrassed. They then counted the injured; there weren't many, only about a dozen or twenty.
Hmm... that's still a lot. Arthur and Randy alone beat 20 people black and blue. That orc who couldn't speak clearly had his teeth knocked out. How despicable!
Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao lead a large group of people to find A Luo
A Luo initially disagreed, thinking that the injury was making a mountain out of a molehill, and told Guo Xiaoxiao not to fall for their tricks.
The damage was caused by Arthur and Randy, two powerful figures, the clan leaders. Without offering them some benefits, it would be difficult to maintain their authority and make future work difficult.
Guo Xiaoxiao had also considered this aspect. As the clan leader, it wasn't like a leader to tease ordinary orcs and females.
Some orcs happened to come by and ask, "What's going on with Randy and Arthur? They're so unserious!"
Guo Xiaoxiao and the veterinarians confessed to the poisoning; there was no way to hide it anymore, and they couldn't explain it. They decided to tell the truth, since they were fine the next day anyway.
Upon hearing the news of the poisoning, the orc didn't show much surprise. Alo had said he would recover the next day; the poison was temporary.
The word spread like wildfire, and soon all the beastmen understood: stay away from Guo Xiaoxiao's room, and avoid Arthur and Randy whenever they come out. Never get close to them; they're like madmen.
He's poisoned, but his strength is still there; even if he wanted to fight head-on, he couldn't beat someone.
After Guo Xiaoxiao finished, she ran to the room on the third floor to find something to eat. She wanted to cook some food so they wouldn't go hungry.
I searched high and low, but all the jerky was gone. I remember there were so many pieces! Were they eaten?
Let's borrow some from Amansa; she has some food stored at home. Arthur will repay him double tomorrow. That's decided.
When they arrived at Amansa's house, she was still being controlled by her male companion late at night. It wasn't that he was intentionally imprisoning her, but rather ensuring her safety.
After Arthur tricked the female who lived not far from their room today, all the males kept the females as pets, fearing that their own females would be next to suffer.
Only Irina went to Wen Yi's room to serve him; Amansa wasn't even allowed to come out and see what was going on.
Xiao Ni said it's all for your own good, just bear with it for today. Arthur's got a screw loose, whatever you do, don't let him get near you.
Amansa's condition is strange; she's inexplicably forbidden from leaving the house.
"Can we go out now? I'm so bored staying here all day. I want to get some fresh air outside the cave."
Xiao Ni: "Sasha, if we wait any longer, until Arthur and Landy are asleep and we get confirmation that they've been poisoned—by eating datura flowers that have caused them to become delirious and their personalities to change drastically, turning them into half-madmen—what if they escape and cause trouble, and you get caught in the crossfire?"
Amansa: "What mandalas? What lunatics? Isn't it dangerous for Xiaoxiao to stay with them? I heard a lot of noise in the cave today, what exactly did they do? Tell me!"
Out of politeness, Guo Xiaoxiao stood at the door without going in, and called out through the curtain.
"Is Sasha asleep? This is Guo Xiaoxiao. Are you free? I need to borrow something from you."
Amansa jumped up: "I'm free, I'll be out in a bit!"
Xiao Ni alertly stopped Amansa and had her other two partners watch over her.
He didn't want to get involved in Randy and Arthur's situation, not because he didn't want to, but because he simply couldn't help in that situation.
He came out and saw Guo Xiaoxiao.
"Great Shaman, what can I do for you?"
Guo Xiaoxiao smiled and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing serious. I just wanted to borrow some food from you. We didn't hunt today, and my grandson has run out of food. I'll have Arthur come and return it tomorrow."
The dignified and noble female shaman was beautiful and capable, yet she was starving and had no food at home.
Without saying a word, Xiao Ni went into the house carrying a lot of meat, at least five or six large pieces, and handed them to Guo Xiaoxiao.
"Come on, eat as much as you want. There's more if you're not full."
Guo Xiaoxiao could barely hold it all in her hands; it was a bit too much. But she didn't refuse, in case it wasn't enough, to avoid having to borrow more from elsewhere.
"Thanks, please say hello to Sasha for me, I'll be going now."
"Okay, goodbye. Come find me again if you need more."
Amansa stood in the house, hands in her pockets, clearly unhappy. She wouldn't even let Xiaoxiao see her, even though Xiaoxiao rarely came to visit. Fortunately, Amansa was a reasonable female and knew the males were doing it for her own good, so she didn't scold them excessively.
"If someone comes looking for me and I don't go out to say hello, they might think I did it on purpose. I can't do that next time."
Xiao Ni: "Okay, don't be angry. I'll wash the fruit and give it to you. Once the poison dissipates, you can go find Guo Xiaoxiao without any problem."
…
After Guo Xiaoxiao finished cooking, she faced another problem: the pot was still too big to lift, and with Randy's help, she had cooked even more than she had at lunchtime.
Since she didn't encounter Falai, Guo Xiaoxiao asked a nearby orc for help.
This person was happy to help Guo Xiaoxiao, but after leaving the meat soup by the door, he ran off. I'm too scared to go in!
Guo Xiaoxiao opened the door and let Randy in, who then placed a pot of soup on the table.
Finally... the chaotic day has come to an end peacefully...
Both of them were very obedient when they went to sleep that night, knowing they had done something wrong and not wanting to upset Guo Xiaoxiao any further.
The next morning, a ray of warm sunlight streamed in, filling the room with a golden glow.
Guo Xiaoxiao opened her eyes with trepidation, hoping to see a sober Arthur and a serious Randy.
Mikkelsen and his large group did not return home last night.
