Many beastmen in the Beast Realm signed up, and Shen Miao selected some of the strongest and most robust ones to be escorted to the spirit mine by Xuan Ran's army.
The other orcs who were not selected were very disappointed.
You should know that Shen Miaokai is very generous with wages. A beastman can earn enough beast crystals to support his family for two or three months by working in the spirit mine for a month.
Next time someone quits, they must fill in! The orc who wasn't chosen clenched his fist secretly.
This matter caused quite a stir in the surrounding area, and even the lowest-ranking beastmen were discussing it. Several disheveled wandering beastmen gathered under the eaves of someone's house, discussing the profound mystery they had never seen before.
"If only I could enter the Beast Realm, maybe I would never have to go hungry again."
"That's right. In the Beast Realm, people grow their own food and can eat meat without hunting. They also provide work for the beastmen. Even beastmen like us who are a bit disabled can do light work and receive beast crystals every month."
"Sigh, I wonder what kind of person the leader of the Beast Domain is. If I could meet him, I would be willing to die for him."
As they were talking, a strange orc, completely covered in cloaks, suddenly appeared in front of them. The man looked very thin, but the eyes peeking out from under his cloak were cold and sharp, as if they were covered in frost.
"Who are you?" a few wandering orcs asked suspiciously.
The strange beastman didn't speak, but stepped forward, grabbed a male beast much larger than herself, and threw it away violently, cursing as she did so: "Shen Miao isn't that good, she's a vicious slut, you're not allowed to worship her!"
The other orcs were terrified. They were ordinary orcs with disabilities, and they had no awakened superpowers. But the strange and violent orc in front of them looked very strong.
The group immediately chickened out and quickly said, "We don't admire you, we won't say anything more, please spare us."
The thin orc turned her face, which was still hidden under her cloak, making it impossible to see her features clearly. However, they could all sense that the female orc's eyes were watching them.
Cold sweat poured down the orcs' backs. Frostflower spoke in a sinister tone, "I'll let you go if you repeat 'Chen Miao is a slut' ten times."
These orcs didn't know Shen Miao, so they had no qualms about cursing her a few times to save their own lives.
The strange female beast listened to their eager cursing of Shen Miao, a cold smile curving her lips. "Get lost."
The stray beastmen fled in panic.
After everyone had left, the thin female beast lifted the cloak on her head, revealing a gaunt and mean face—it was Frostflower, who had been hiding and running away all this time.
Half a month later, Shen Miao received a message from Xuan Ran's army via carrier pigeon. The message said that something had happened at the spirit mine. According to the time, the group of orcs had just arrived at the spirit mine.
However, on the very first day of construction, many orcs died for no apparent reason. They have now taken the initiative to seal off the spirit mine and are requesting Shen Miao's next instructions.
Shen Miao was surprised by what happened. She found people who had previously been in contact with the spirit mine and asked them to ride on strange beasts to the spirit mine to investigate the situation.
The final result revealed that the spirit mine had been tampered with; whenever someone tried to mine it, it would release a toxic, corrosive gas that would kill everyone who tried to work in it.
The person who tampered with the mine is nowhere to be found, so Shen Miao could only order the mine to be temporarily closed and people to study the poisonous gas. The mine would reopen once an antidote was developed.
Shen Miao didn't intend to publicize this matter, nor did she intend to keep it a secret. She personally visited the homes of the dead beastmen and gave them beast crystals as compensation. When the beastmen saw that she had money, they stopped causing trouble.
But when this reached Shuanghua's ears, she was as excited as if it were New Year's Day. She had already imagined seventeen or eighteen scenes of Shen Miao being surrounded and beaten, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Everyone says Shen Miao is amazing, everyone praises her for being strong. She wonders if these people will still think she's amazing after they know that Shen Miao killed so many beastmen.
Frostflower wrote a letter to Shen Miao triumphantly, tied it to the leg of a pigeon, and delivered it to Shen Miao.
When Shen Miao received the letter, she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that the spirit mine was going to say something again. But when she opened the letter, she saw only a screen full of sarcastic words.
The tone and the choice of words—it goes without saying—are definitely Shuanghua's.
At the end of the letter, Shuanghua also threatened her, saying that she would expose the matter and let everyone know her true colors.
Shen Miao scoffed at this and threw the animal hide into the fire to burn. As for the pigeon, she caught it and made pigeon soup that night.
Shuanghua waited and waited, but Shen Miao's letter begging for mercy never came. Furious, she gritted her teeth and ran to spread the news that the spirit mine had killed people. She also said that it was Shen Miao's conspiracy to deliberately lure them there and then kill them!
The beastmen looked at her with strange eyes after hearing this.
Shuanghua said smugly, "Didn't Shen Miao tell you? Let me tell you, from now on, don't listen to Shen Miao anymore. If you follow her, you won't even know how you died."
"Something happened in the Beast Realm, why are you so happy?" an orc asked in a questioning tone.
Frost Flower was startled and quickly composed herself, saying, "No, I didn't."
As she spoke, she became more self-righteous: "I came here out of kindness to tell you that you should go and punish Shen Miao, so why are you yelling at me?"
The beastmen snorted and said disdainfully, "Who asked you to tell us? We already knew. You're not even one of our beast realms, so mind your own business."
After saying that, the orcs left, leaving Frostflower furious.
She didn't believe it and asked other people for their opinions. They had similar reactions. After inquiring, she learned that not long after the incident, Shen Miao had told everyone that mining was dangerous and that if they were afraid, they didn't have to go.
Her open and honest actions earned her the respect of the beastmen.
Shuanghua's attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and she was furious. But before she could rage for long, someone shouted, "Over there! That looks like the person Boss Shen is looking for. She's been stirring up trouble everywhere. Arrest her and send her to Boss Shen!"
A group of orcs swarmed toward them like flies attracted to excrement, which frightened Frostflower so much that she turned and ran away.
For the next few days, I didn't dare to go out again, like a rat in a stinking ditch.
Shen Miao wasn't very clear about what was happening outside; it was other beastmen who came over and told her. Shen Miao had failed to capture Frostflower again this time, and coupled with the matter of the spirit mine, she wasn't in a very high mood.
Her way of venting is to practice martial arts at home. When she gets tired, she starts jumping, and she can jump all the way to the roof.
The children, who had never witnessed Chen Miao's jumping ability before, were dumbfounded, clapping their hands loudly and excitedly shouting, "Mommy is so amazing! She's incredible!"
