Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

After muttering to himself, Xiao Zhang didn't even glance at Xixi before extending his antennae again.

Before Xixi could stop them, a group of magical beasts rushed towards them at an even faster speed than the first two!

Most importantly, Xixi counted them and found that there were a total of twenty-three!

Originally, she thought that since Xiao Zhang was an octopus with eight legs, the limit for controlling other magical beasts should be eight.

As it turns out, there is no limit at all!

But then Xiao Zhang pointed to the two places ahead and said, "I was just thinking that the Goddess Goddess must have some kind of mission to give, so I chose the two strongest places nearby."

“However, since the Goddess only wants to eat meat, there are many more options available.” He waved his hand at the surrounding magical beasts. “Those that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water, we have them all! Moreover, I’ve chosen only new beasts, which are less than a month old and have just reached adulthood. Their meat is tender yet has a bit of a chewy texture, so they can be eaten raw or roasted!”

Xi Xi's lips twitched. In the past, when they hunted, there was always a chase, and they had to set traps from time to time. But he never expected that Xiao Zhang's hunting would be so simple. He just waved his hand and they all came.

The key point is that the way they lined up and waited for her to eat would confuse anyone!

God-level magical beasts are truly two different kinds of creatures from ordinary magical beasts!

Seeing Xiao Zhang's honesty, Xixi decided to cut to the chase. "Although you are trapped in the canyon, you can still use your senses to explore the outside world. You should know the current situation. Have you been involved?"

"I..." Xiao Zhang's bright smile froze, and she stammered for a long time before she could say anything.

The West Creek Secret Passage, just as I suspected!

But now is not the time to pursue these matters. Besides, the other party is a magical beast, so it's not unreasonable for him to side with the magical beast.

However, she still wanted to ask one more question about the cause and effect of her past life, since she found that both reality and dreams pointed to that.

"What does 'traitor' mean?"

The sudden remark made Xiao Zhang's expression change. He hurriedly said, "That's all nonsense they're talking about, don't take it to heart!"

Sure enough, he knew!

Without backing down, Xixi pressed on, "Tell me, what exactly does 'traitor' mean?"

"This..." Xiao Zhang shrank back, seemingly wanting to change the subject, but under Xi Xi's burning gaze, he had nowhere to escape.

"Back then, you advocated for peaceful coexistence between orcs and magical beasts, sharing this continent, and that's how you gained the support of us magical beasts. People like me also pledged our allegiance to you at that time, willingly following you. But later..."

He paused, lowered his eyes, and said with a look of desolation, "Later, you suddenly became the lord of the orcs, and then the orc army launched a massive surprise attack!"

"This is not a hunt, not a quest for food, but a massacre that threatens the survival of a nation and the extermination of its people!"

"In an instant, all the magical beasts were thrown into chaos. We didn't know what had happened, nor why you suddenly changed your mind. But as we watched one divine-level magical beast after another fall, and saw vast mountains of corpses and seas of blood, we knew that if we didn't fight back, we would all be finished."

"We were forced to unite, but just as we were preparing to fight back, you suddenly appeared!"

"You left no words, yet you directly confined us to the Netherworld. From then on, apart from a small group of races that escaped because they did not participate in the resistance and remained with the orcs, we magical beasts never saw the light of day again!"

"Then you are..." Logically speaking, Xiao Zhang should have been left there like the other magical beasts, so why did he have to go through this canyon?

"Perhaps the seal you just set wasn't strong enough, so I escaped and wanted to get an explanation from you. But I heard from the orcs that the seal you set was a demon-slaying seal, which was meant to destroy god-level magical beasts like me. Once the god-level magical beasts are gone, ordinary magical beasts will just be their prey." As he said this, Xiao Zhang looked up at Xixi. Even after so many years, his eyes still welled up with tears when he mentioned this.

"So, you were the one who sent the message back?" That would make sense.

From Warcraft's perspective, her inconsistent words and actions made her a traitor.

However, she didn't know why she had done that in her past life.

According to Xiao Zhang, since she can gain the support of both monsters and orcs, doesn't that indirectly prove that her suggestion is reasonable? Can orcs and monsters really coexist peacefully?

But if that's the case, why did she start a war?

What benefit could such a war bring to her, the ruler of the world?

Perhaps she hasn't reached that level yet. Her current thinking is still stuck in the small family of beast husband and cubs, and she hasn't formed a holistic view of the beast world or the world at large. Therefore, she can't see the reasons for doing what she did in her previous life.

Just as Xixi was pondering, she saw Xiao Zhang vehemently shake his head in denial, "No! Although I don't understand why you locked us up, I don't think it's a bad thing. At least in the place you opened up, the sunshine, rain, mountains, and grasslands are no different from here. For the tribes that have suffered losses in the war, it is a good opportunity to recuperate."

"Besides, you didn't say these words yourself. How can I believe such rumors? I don't even believe them myself, so how could I spread them and make up stories?"

"But... it seems the news still got back. By the time I found out, it was many years after I was sealed away. They call our place the Netherworld, the place where the beastmen live the Immortal World, and you, Goddess, the Traitor. All of this was told to me by A-Da."

Ah Da was the first magical beast that Xiao Zhang took under his command, and the first black panther that attacked the cubs!

If Xiao Zhang didn't send back a message, then who did?

Therefore, besides Xiao Zhang, there must have been other god-level magical beasts that broke through the seal back then!

It's funny, though. The seals and boundaries they created in their past lives sealed off most of the magical beasts, but they couldn't stop the god-level magical beasts. Little did they know that the real threat to the orcs was precisely these god-level magical beasts that had already developed intelligence!

"By the way, how many of your magical beasts have reached the god level?" Xixi continued to probe for information.

“A thousand years ago, when I left the Netherworld, there were six of them. As for how many there are now, I have no idea.” Seemingly sensing Xixi’s disbelief, he gave a wry smile and explained, “Whether they are magical beasts or orcs, there isn’t much difference once they reach the god level. And if they wanted to hide it, how would ordinary magical beasts know?”
