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

Chapter 271 When it comes to acting, they're all acting geniuses!
When asked by Landon, Huo An pursed his lips and simply told them what Liang He had discussed with him the night before their departure.

"I'm not sure if she had already noticed something was wrong with Rick at the time, but it's a fact that she asked me to secretly protect Lyra and the others."

Logically speaking, if Liang He only felt that this operation would be dangerous, she could have simply let Huo An accompany her. There was no need to hide her identity and disguise herself until the last moment to expose herself and save Leila and the others.

But the truth is that Liang He created a moment of glory for Huo An, as if he were a savior descending from the sky, successfully saving everyone when the situation was out of control.

Except for her.

"Wait! You mean Liang He already knew about the existence of the orcs?!"

Cedril's originally deep and narrow eyes widened instantly, his gaze fixed on Hoan, and the fleeting tension in his eyes was enough to show his inner turmoil.

"……Seems to be."

Speaking of this, Huo An also didn't understand when Liang He discovered the existence of the beastmen and knew that he was Kunpeng.

When she found him and told him everything directly, Hoan was no less shocked than Bidrill.

"So after you admitted it... what was her reaction?"

As Cedrill asked the question, Landon, who was standing next to him, also unconsciously straightened his body, clearly also caring about Hoan's answer.

Stared at by their tense, fearful yet expectant gazes, Huo An could only grit his teeth and recall Liang He's expression at the time.

"There was no anger, but rather a sense of unexpected yet expected."

It was unexpected because she hadn't expected that orcs actually existed; the fact that they actually existed surprised her.

As expected, it was because she already had the answer in her heart through her own observation and guessing, and Huo An's answer was just a confirmation of her thoughts.

"that's it?"

Lyra voiced the thoughts in Langdon's and Cedril's hearts.

Isn't Liang He's reaction a bit too calm?
"Ah."

Huo An couldn't possibly fabricate Liang He's reaction just to appease these two big shots; if he were exposed, he would be the one to suffer.

"Cough...this shouldn't be the most important thing right now, should it?"

Sensing the slightly tense atmosphere, Huo An kindly reminded the two who were silent.

Landon, his thoughts instantly pulled back, regained his composure and leaned back in his chair, gently raising his hand to signal Hoan to continue.

"Later, as we were preparing to leave the eerie sea, Rick, at the last moment, destroyed the beast god totem on the statue, triggering a deep-sea whirlpool that led to everyone's deaths..."

Huo An emphasized the look Liang He gave him before she fainted.

He could have saved Liang He first and then rescued Laila and the others, but it was because of Liang He's silent refusal that he did not reveal the beast form of Kunpeng in front of Rick.

"So, Liang He was deliberately taken away?"

Cedril was more concerned about Liang He. He was completely indifferent to the so-called truth, just like on the battlefield, where he didn't care about the process, only the result.

The current situation is that Liang He has been taken away by the rebels. The situation is critical, and he is very anxious inside, far from being as calm and composed as he appears.

"I guess...yes."

Although unwilling to admit it, it seems that Liang He had planned all of this in advance.

As for why she did this, Huo An really couldn't guess.

It's normal that Huo An couldn't guess, because Liang He's reason for going deep into the rebel army's headquarters was for personal reasons.

Are you here because of the rebels poisoning the water supply last time?

To avoid being monitored by the rebels, and with her personal terminal confiscated, Liang He could only communicate with Elius using the most 'primitive' method. Elius looked at the words Liang He wrote on the paper, his brow furrowing slightly, not understanding why she would risk her life for such a thing.

"Chief Elie, are you a graduate of an acting school? Your acting skills are amazing!"

Unlike written communication, Liang He also needs to maintain normal conversations with Elius to avoid arousing suspicion from the rebels.

"Liang He, let me explain..."

Fortunately, Elius was highly perceptive and cooperated well with Liang He.

Of course, there was some sincerity in his words; he was genuinely afraid that Liang He would be angry about the fact that he had deceived her.

"Yes, the rebels have been targeting me. If I don't come, the protected area will only become more and more dangerous."

Just as Minister Ace had been instructed, if the rebels stopped targeting her and instead launched an attack to kill her, the people and animals in the protected area would be affected and could even lose their lives.

Moreover, she had deeper reasons that she couldn't reveal to Elius.

"An explanation is just a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth. Let's start from when you impersonated the little black snake and tried to scam me! How many things have you been hiding from me?!"

Liang He became more and more agitated as she spoke, as if Elius were a complete liar and a heartless accusation, which made Cher, who was eavesdropping, keep covering her mouth and laughing.

The dignified leader of the space pirates has actually fallen into the hands of a woman. It seems that the commander's plans are going to succeed.

[But what good will your arrival do? Are you really going to agree to cooperate with the rebels?]

In any case, Elius did not believe that Liang He would agree to cooperate with the rebels; she was simply not that kind of person.

Especially since the rebels have repeatedly crossed Liang He's bottom line, it's even less likely that she will comply with their wishes.

"Little ancestor, can you please be reasonable? I was beaten half to death by you back then, and I had no choice but to transform into a little black snake."

Speaking of this, Elius also felt a bit resentful.

He never imagined that his scales, which were as hard as armor in the past, would be so vulnerable when he encountered Liang He.

It was indeed a bit embarrassing to talk about how he was beaten by Liang He, punch after punch, until he cried out in pain.

[Of course, it's a feigned cooperation. I need to know something about the rebels. Can you tell me?]

As Elius stated, Liang He would never cooperate with the rebels.

But it wouldn't be a bad idea to let her act out a scene or pretend.

She was completely at ease deceiving her enemies, without any moral constraints.

"I don't care! The bottom line is, you lied to me! And you even freeloaded and slept in my bed!"

Liang He deliberately disguised herself as a domineering little wife.

People are complex anyway. The rebels only know that she is highly skilled in martial arts, but they may not know her private life. If they can use this to lower their guard and make it easier for her to act, that would be the best outcome.

The rebel leader was named Drowier, and he rarely appeared in public; no one had ever seen his face.

Below Drovell were four army commanders and a black wizard.

Nick was the most trusted by Drowville and was in charge of all matters at the rebel headquarters.

The existence of the Black Wizard represents an army of ferocious beasts; he is the mastermind behind the previous animal poisoning incidents and this strange sea area.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, my little darling, please have mercy and forgive me?"

To cooperate with Liang He's acting, Elius humbled himself to the point of being insignificant.

"If all else fails, I'll perform a dragon and snake dance for you?"
