After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 157 Having a higher seniority makes all the difference.

He was about to blurt out "Holy crap!" but the silver shuttle forced him back down.

He stared in horror at Yin Ling and Liang He's clasped hands, feeling as if the world was about to collapse.

Alright, alright, he was only gone for a short while and Liang He was already lured away by the Holy Maiden. Now there's no one to protect him, sob sob...

"You've caused such a huge mess, shouldn't I have come?"

The moment Yin Ling saw Yin Shuai, her face darkened, and she adopted the dignity of a saintess, which frightened Yin Shuai so much that he didn't dare to move an inch.

"I...I know I was wrong..."

Faced with Yin Ling, Yin Suo knew that all explanations would be futile and might even be labeled as sophistry, so he simply admitted his mistake honestly and tried to get lenient treatment.

"Silver Feather, may I say a few words?"

Seeing that her future free labor force was so frightened, Liang He couldn't bear it and gently tugged at Yin Ling's sleeve.

Yin Ling's attention was diverted by Liang He. The moment she looked back at Liang He's face, her expression softened, a smile appeared on her lips, and she spoke softly.

"Of course, there's no need for such formalities between us."

Silver Shuttle: ? ? ?
Silver Shuttle couldn't understand their inexplicable friendship, but that didn't stop him from being so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

"Alright, close your mouth, you're drooling."

Xu Yi, who came in a little later, kindly helped Yin Shuo find his chin, lifted it up, and successfully closed it.

"No... Brother Xu, what exactly did Liang He do? Is this still the saintess I know?"

Silver Shuttle was extremely suspicious that the Holy Maiden had been replaced and that the person in front of him was an imposter!
But for the sake of his life, he dared not expose it on the spot. If he said something wrong, it would be adding insult to injury—he would be asking for a beating!
"Yinling, that's how it is about Yinshuo. He's naive and easily deceived by the rebels, which is understandable. Don't blame him."

Liang He briefly explained the cause and effect to Yin Suo. Some of what Yin Suo called sophistry, she said was actually pleading for mercy.

"Besides, Silver Shuttle knows his mistakes and is willing to correct them. He has already promised to stay in the reserve and help me, which is a way of making up for it."

Taking the opportunity to suggest that Silver Shuttle stay and help out was a way to give each other a way out.

Yin Shuo made a mistake and must be punished; this is the Holy Maiden's duty. Liang He is the aggrieved party, and it is reasonable for her to ask Yin Shuo to work as compensation.

"Since you've put it that way, I naturally respect your opinion."

Just as Liang He had predicted, Yin Ling agreed to let Yin Shuo remain in the protected area until Liang He no longer needed him.

"But this kid is very mischievous. If he makes you unhappy, you can teach him a lesson. If he hurts you, it's on me."

Hearing Yin Ling's words, Yin Suo's eyes widened, and he had the illusion that Liang He was Yin Ling's family.

"Grandma...you don't have to be so cruel, do you?"

Great-aunt?
Liang He tilted her head curiously, not understanding why Yin Suo would call Yin Ling that, since she looked not much older than Yin Suo.

Why does he call you "Grandma"?

Yin Ling glanced at Yin Shuo coldly and indifferently, but upon hearing Liang He's question, she immediately began to explain in a gentle and courteous tone.

"I have a high seniority in my family."

As someone who is revered as a saintess, Yin Ling must have her own extraordinary abilities. Although Yin Suo's surname is Yin, she is not actually a descendant of gods, but rather a child born from a divine lineage and an ordinary human.

He inherited the silver hair, but not the power of the divine lineage. However, he still has a unique advantage in terms of physical strength and martial arts.

"I see."

Liang He nodded knowingly; this kind of situation often happened on Earth as well.

Elderly people, even when they are very old, address school children as "Grandma" or similar terms, especially during ancestral worship ceremonies, where children of higher seniority are required to stand at the front and offer incense.

"Liang He, can I ask you for help?" Yin Ling fully respected Liang He's opinion regarding the Silver Shuttle matter and considered it a closed case.

"Of course, feel free to speak."

Not only does Yinling have a very high level of affection for Lianghe, but Lianghe also likes this new friend very much. If her friend asks her for help, she will not refuse as long as she can do it.

"Here's the thing, we have a divine beast in our temple that hasn't been feeling well lately. We've tried many methods, but nothing has worked. Could you please take a look?"

Divine beast?

Huo An and Xu Yi frowned, realizing that things were not simple. They pulled Yin Shuo to the middle of them and began to ask questions in hushed tones.

"Your Silverwing Temple even has divine beasts?"

To be able to act as a divine beast among a group of orcs, one must be extraordinary, right?

"I've never heard of it."

Silver Shuttle was also completely baffled. He had lived in the temple for so many years and had never heard of any divine beast.

However, after hearing Yin Ling's description, he had a flash of inspiration and was about to speak as if he suddenly understood, but Xu Yi covered his mouth.

"I'm warning you, keep your voice down, or your auntie will beat you up."

Xu Yi subtly reminded Yin Shuo to be careful with his words, and Yin Shuo nodded quickly.

After the seal on his mouth was lifted, Silver Shuttle whispered his conjecture in their ears.

"The Holy Maiden was probably referring to the Divine Child Yin Qi. He is still in the evolutionary stage. It seems he encountered some problems before I left, and his family has been trying to find a solution."

The Silverwing Temple not only has a saintess, but also a divine son. Due to the special nature of the divine lineage, they are considered to be siblings.

Before Silver Shuttle 'ran away from home', the temple was having a headache because of Silver Qi's situation, which is why he was able to take advantage of the situation. Normally, it wouldn't be so easy for him to leave.

"Do you know what the problem is?"

As an orc who successfully survived the evolutionary period and was also the head of the protected area, Huo An had seen many orc situations.

It's simply that the orcs were injured in the wild but refused to accept human treatment, which endangered their lives.

However, Yin Shuo just said that there were signs before he left, indicating that Yin Qi's illness was not acute. So, what could be so important that would make a saintess ask for help?

"Feeling listless? Is it because you haven't been eating or resting well?"

Liang He wasn't surprised by the divine beast that Yin Ling referred to. In her opinion, it was probably because of the existence of the Silverwing Temple that it was called that, like a totem.

“He simply won’t eat anything. We’ve tried everything, but nothing works.”

Yin Ling's brows never relaxed when Yin Qi was mentioned.

The lineage of gods actually had an easier time surviving the evolutionary period compared to other orcs. They were used to the extreme natural conditions, and the rebels dared not provoke them easily, so they faced very few threats.

It was assumed that Yin Qi, as a divine child, possessed immense power and would easily overcome the evolutionary period, but unexpectedly, things went wrong later on.

"That's not all. He's been sleeping for longer and longer periods of time. If you don't listen closely, you'd think he's not breathing."

Is it hibernation?

Liang He heard that the Silverwing Temple lives in an icy world, and if they are animals, they might hibernate.

"No, we are absolutely certain that something is wrong."

Yin Qi is the first orc to experience this situation over the years. As a divine son, he is highly valued by the temple. Yin Ling's visit is ostensibly to deal with the matter of Yin Shuttle, but in reality, it is also a test.

They wanted to know if Liang He was really as miraculous as the rumors suggested.

"So... Liang He, are you willing to help me?"
