Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

Inside the Sifang Pavilion, Lin Ziyu sat in the courtyard pavilion, a delighted smile on his face. Beside him, a stone table was covered in toys and delicacies, while five adorable fantasy beasts happily played around him. They chased and frolicked, leaped and played, sharing this wonderful moment with Lin Ziyu.

At that moment, Long Yan slowly walked into the courtyard. Seeing the joyful scene between Lin Ziyu and the other fantasy beasts, he couldn't help but smile. Two larger fantasy beasts jumped off his shoulders and joined the group of five fantasy beasts. Long Yan walked over to sit next to Lin Ziyu, hugged him, and whispered, "Ziyu, thank you. Lang Xiaoyi and the others' injuries have recovered halfway. Also, did you think yesterday's martial arts competition was enjoyable?"

Lin Zi turned around and replied with a smile, "Oh, it was great! Every match was exciting, but Lu Lu Meng was lucky. The opponent she met today was just as strong as her, but the competition environment was too favorable for her. Huang Beiyue's opponent was very strong, so her loss was not unfair. The match between Lang Xiaoyi and the Sea Clan was the most exciting, and the match between Mo Wenxuan and She Yanchen. I think She Yanchen's loss was a bit unfair. If the environment on the stage hadn't been unfavorable to him, he wouldn't have lost so quickly."

Lin Ziyu was speaking excitedly when he suddenly sensed a change in Long Yan's aura. He quickly said, "Long Yan, the fantasy beast's illusion is truly amazing. It's exactly like the real thing!" He reached out and gently stroked the little fantasy beast beside him, and the little creature immediately cried out with joy. However, he secretly muttered to himself, "You were the one who asked me about the competition, so why are you unhappy after I told you?"

Of course he was unhappy, you were talking about other men with admiration on your face.

Long Yan smiled slightly and responded, "Yes, the illusions of the fantasy beasts are indeed very powerful, but their combat effectiveness is relatively weak, so their numbers are extremely rare." After that, he touched Lin Ziyu's head lovingly, and then continued, "Ziyu, come for a walk with me."

Lin Ziyu shook his head gently, a look of disappointment on his face. He said slowly, "Fifth Grandfather has assigned me a task. If I can't complete it, he won't take me to the academy's martial arts competition next time." His eyes showed that he really wanted to go...

Hearing this, Long Yan couldn't help but ask curiously: "What kind of mission is that?"

Lin Ziyu sighed, with a hint of helplessness and pressure in his tone: "Fifth Grandfather asked me to refine ten kinds of seventh-level pills within three days, and twenty of each kind!" After saying that, he frowned tightly, as if he had already felt the difficulty of this task.

"Ah, this is indeed a very difficult task." Long Yan frowned and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "However, has my Ziyu been able to refine seventh-level pills?" He turned his gaze to Lin Ziyu, with a hint of surprise and expectation in his eyes.

Lin Ziyu nodded slightly and replied softly: "Well, it's just that the success rate is not high." After that, he saw Long Si walking quickly towards him and gently pulled Long Yan's sleeve.

Long Yan turned around, looked at Long Si, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Long Si lowered her head and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor has ordered you to return to the palace immediately to receive the Third Prince and the First Princess of the Human Race."

After hearing this, Long Yan turned around, his eyes fell on Lin Ziyu, and he said softly, "Ziyu, I'll go back first." Lin Ziyu smiled and nodded in agreement, then watched Long Yan slowly stand up, turn around and leave.

Lin Ziyu returned to his room with the dream beast, ready to start refining the elixir. He was filled with anticipation and confidence, believing that the elixir he would refine this time would be a success.

At the same time, Long Yan calmly came to the Dragon Emperor's Palace and met Long An, the chief steward of the Dragon Emperor.

Long An said respectfully, "Your Highness, His Majesty has asked Your Highness to receive the Third Prince and the First Princess of the Human Race in the side hall."

Long Yan nodded, turned around and walked towards the side hall with Long Si and Long Shen.

In the side hall, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn. Third Prince Qin Jinghuai sat quietly, his fingers occasionally tapping unconsciously on the tabletop. These small movements betrayed his inner uneasiness and anxiety. Meanwhile, the eldest princess, Qin Yasi, had long lost her composure. She paced back and forth incessantly, her face clearly etched with anxiety.

Finally, Qin Yasi couldn't help but stop and walked to Qin Jinghuai, with a hint of impatience in her tone: "Third brother, how long do we have to wait?"

Qin Jinghuai smiled slightly and tried to comfort her: "Yasi, please be patient."

Qin Ya Si sighed helplessly, then turned around and sat back in her seat.

At that moment, Long Yan slowly walked into the side hall. He spotted Qin Jinghuai and Qin Yasi sitting on chairs. Qin Jinghuai's expression was calm, as if he had everything under control; Qin Yasi's face, however, was filled with rage, as if she could explode at any moment.

Long Yan walked straight to the main seat without hesitation. After sitting down, he asked calmly, "I wonder what the Third Prince wants to see my father for?"

Qin Jinghuai stood up and said, "Your Highness, Crown Prince Long, we are here because of my fifth brother Jingyi and my third sister Yaling. They came here with the students participating in the alchemist competition. My fifth brother Jingyi is said to have been captured and imprisoned in the beast prison. I don't know which law of the beastman tribe he has violated. Please investigate, Your Highness, Crown Prince Long."

Long Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. He naturally knew that Qin Jingyi was imprisoned in the beast prison. However, the beast prison was only a place for orcs who committed minor offenses.

He looked at Qin Jinghuai and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Third Prince. This prince will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. However, as far as I know, the beast prison only holds orcs. How did your brother get locked up there?"

Qin Jinghuai's heart sank. He certainly knew why Qin Jingyi was imprisoned there, but he also knew to pretend he didn't know.

"Prince Long, please conduct a thorough investigation. My brother would never take the initiative to offend the orcs." Qin Jinghuai bowed.

Long Yan nodded, "This prince will send someone to investigate and will inform you of the results."

Qin Jinghuai bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Crown Prince Long. I have one more request. Please send someone to look for my third sister, Qin Yaling. She has disappeared here."

"Really? The security in our orc royal city is very good. This prince will send more people to look for her." Long Yan promised. He was wondering why Qin Yaling disappeared. Didn't she go to the human residence that day?

After Qin Jinghuai thanked Long Yan again, he took Qin Ya Si away.

After the two left, Long Yan instructed Long Shen and Long Si, "Long Shen, investigate what happened to Qin Yaling's disappearance. Who is causing trouble in the imperial city? Long Si, go to the beast prison and bring Qin Jingyi and the others out and hand them over to Qin Jinghuai."

Long Shen and Long Si took the order and left. Long Yan sat and thought for a while, then stood up and left.

Inside the Orcish Imperial City's beast prison, the atmosphere was gloomy, filled with an atmosphere of despair and fear. Qin Jingyi and the others were pale, their eyes revealing a deep sense of exhaustion and helplessness. When they first entered, they still carried the pride of being sons of aristocratic families, princes of the royal clan. But now, all that had been lost. Five or six of them huddled together, leaning on each other, with only one thought in their minds: to quickly escape this horrible place, where they had been imprisoned for over a month.

One of them said in a trembling voice: "Fifth Prince, I heard today that all the people who participated in the alchemist competition have left. Do you think anyone will come to save us?" He stared at Qin Jingyi, his eyes full of worry about the future.

Qin Jingyi was silent for a moment before answering, "Perhaps... But now we can only wait, hoping someone will remember we're still here." His voice was filled with helplessness and bitterness, as if he felt powerless to change his fate. He thought to himself that his third sister should remember him, and his third brother should have arrived too.

The others chimed in, expressing their agreement. They understood their current situation to be extremely difficult, and their only hope was for the outside world to learn of their plight and offer assistance. However, as time passed, that hope seemed to grow increasingly elusive. Anxiety and unease were written across everyone's face, unsure how to face this endless imprisonment.

At this time, the guard guarding the beast prison came over and said, "You guys come out."

"What do you want to do?" one of them said.
