Travel through the world of beasts! Build a kingdom by giving birth to cubs!

The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became unusual.

Although the empress and Song Xingyue were both smiling.

But there was no sincerity in each other's eyes, instead there was a hint of provocation.

They are the only two humans in the orc world.

Now they are like two mortal enemies.

only……

None of them said it clearly.

It was just a secret rivalry, not exposed in public.

"Okay, a pastime when you're bored."

The empress suddenly became interested.

After decades of silence, it’s time to have some fun.

"Oh, right. What did you say you wanted to exchange salt for with me?"

"I want to exchange grape vines."

Song Xingyue didn't ask for grapes directly, but for grape vines.

She understood it very well.

If you just want grapes, they will probably be eaten up soon.

But if you have grape seedlings, you can plant them slowly in Hongnan Country, and then you will have more grapes than you can eat in the future.

"Muyi, do you think we can exchange?"

The empress did not directly respond to Song Xingyue's words, but gave the right of exchange to Mu Yi.

Mu Yi hesitated for a moment, then spoke carefully.

"Maybe not for grape vines, but if it's grapes, no problem."

"Expand and tell me."

The empress looked at Mu Yi with pride and encouragement in her eyes.

"Why not? Why exactly?"

Seeing that all the orcs were looking at him, Mu could only speak slowly.

"The leader of the Red South Kingdom didn't say how much salt he would exchange for our grape vines. After all, if you own a grape vine, you can have endless grapes. In other words, we can only exchange once, right?"

Song Xingyue indeed thought so.

But I didn’t expect that Mu Yi’s mind would work so quickly.

I originally thought that only the empress would know about this kind of thing, but I didn't expect that Mu Yi could also see it. That's really good.

"If it's just a one-time exchange, salt alone won't be enough."

Mu Yi turned around and looked at Song Xingyue very seriously.

"You, the Red South Country, need to provide other equally precious materials in exchange for our grape vines. That's what we call an exchange."

"aweason."

Song Xingyue couldn't help but applaud Mu Yi.

Her commentary was really fascinating.

The empress also looked at her daughter with relief.

Then he couldn't help but speak.

"It's really a good thing for you that my daughter goes to Red South Country with you. She is my proudest daughter."

"I will take good care of Muyi."

Song Xingyue made a promise to the empress.

"I will definitely treat your daughter with all my heart. You don't have to worry about that."

After the sun sets.

Song Xingyue's team began to march back in a mighty manner.

When they came, there were only Lang'er, Leng Feng and Ji Yunxiu.

On the way back, there was an extra phoenix and two injured lions.

as well as……

The big snake Changqing follows at the back.

"Let's go the other way when we go back."

Song Xingyue suddenly spoke when they reached a fork in the road.

"Don't go back the way you came. Go around the other way."

The wolf stopped uncertainly and spoke in confusion.

"We've been walking for so long, and now you're saying we should go around from the other side?"

Song Xingyue leaned over and whispered in Wolf's ear.

"We came here to deceive the Empress. We took this road, and now we are taking a detour to guard against the Empress, so that she won't do anything to us secretly."

"You mean... the Empress will take action against us?"

"Maybe."

Song Xingyue wasn't sure, but it was not impossible.

"It's always safer to take a detour."

She has made her decision.

"For everyone's safety, and so that we can arrive safely at Red South Country, let's take a detour."

The wolf immediately changed direction and gave orders to the other orcs.

Although this is a bit of a roundabout way, since it is the leader's intention, the other orcs can only do it.

When Mu, who was riding on a lion, saw that the lion took a detour, he immediately questioned it.

"Chief, how do we..."

"Did your mother tell you that there was an assassination attempt on us ahead?"

Song Xingyue interrupted Mu Yi with a smile and spoke lightly.

"Did your mother promise you that if you can kill me with your own hands, she will let your good friend go?"

Mu Yi's face gradually turned pale.

Even though she didn't say anything, her shocked expression betrayed her inner feelings.

"Muyi, you are a good beast. You are not suitable to be an undercover agent."

Song Xingyue reached out and patted the back of her hand soothingly.

"The reason why I asked you to be the stakes was mainly because I saw the differences between you and your mother."

When she turned back, she happened to meet Changqing's team.

Just a look.

Changqing almost understood what she was thinking, and ordered the snakes behind him to take a detour.

"Your mother is indeed capable and has something that the orcs admire. But..."

She changed the subject and couldn't help but shook her head.

"She really doesn't care about the lives of orcs. She kills them if she wants to kill them, and insults them if she wants to insult them. You are different from her."

Mu Yi gradually felt uncomfortable in his heart.

In fact, from the moment the bet became a reality, her heart has never been at peace.

"But then again."

Song Xingyue looked at Mu Yi with eyes that understood everything.

"In fact, when you agreed to the bet, were you also eager for me to win the bet so that I could take you away from here?"

"I really don't like what my mother did."

Mu Yi finally began to open her heart and express her thoughts.

"She...any orc she takes a fancy to will never have a good ending."

She spoke cryptically.

But Song Xingyue could also guess the hidden meaning in her words.

Have fun.

"My partner was once favored by my mother."

When Mu Yi said this, his hands clenched involuntarily, and there was a hint of unwillingness and hatred in his eyes.

"My partner was tied up and forcibly sent in. When he came out the next day, he was already a corpse."

Song Xingyue had thought about the tricks the empress played, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

Steal your daughter's partner?

And killed him?

Doesn't she worry at all that her daughter will turn against her?

Or……

Because she is not a human cub, so... in the eyes of the empress, this daughter is no different from an orc?

"Since then, I have never looked for a partner. It was Yiyi who accompanied me through the difficult times."

When Mu Yi mentioned Yi Yi, his eyes turned red involuntarily.

"But now, I can't take Yiyi away. I'm worried that when we meet again, there will be another dead body."

"You don't have to worry about it anymore. She's a corpse now."

Song Xingyue's voice suddenly became deeper and she frowned slightly.

"From the moment you asked me to go to the Empress to ask for her, she was already sentenced to death."
