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

Chapter 397 Eating, Drinking, Playing, and Chasing the Big Cat

Moving the 'battleground' to the terrace makes it feel even more relaxing and entertaining.

At first, everyone was a little hesitant to perform on stage, but thanks to Goring's lively atmosphere, they gradually got into the zone.

"It feels so good to eat, drink, and have fun together."

Leila leaned back in her chair, her cheeks flushed, clearly having drunk quite a bit.

Her eyes were slightly unfocused as she watched her friends singing on stage, swaying gently to the melody, completely relaxed.

"Yes...this is the kind of day I've always longed for and that I rarely get to experience."

Evelyn was also somewhat moved.

If it weren't for Liang He, Evelyn might not have felt so relaxed around other people.

"Huh? Where's Beibei?"

Liang He looked around and, finding Bei Bei nowhere to be seen, asked Evelyn curiously.

“She should have been asleep long ago. I had the bodyguard take her back to her room to rest.”

Beibei is a child with lots of energy, and this is her first time attending such a fun and joyful party.

If she were to stay here with Evelyn, she probably wouldn't get any sleep that night.

Therefore, for her physical and mental well-being, Evelyn had no choice but to entrust Bebe to her bodyguard.

Fortunately, the bodyguards were all trained by the royal family, so their safety was beyond question. In addition, this was an island castle, isolated from the world, so Evelyn didn't have to worry.

"Yeah, we're all playing around here, but it's pretty boring with no one to play with."

That's what they say, but actually Beibei just loves to stick close to Lianghe and the Platinum Lion.

Even if Liang He wants to chat with Evelyn, Laila and the others, Bei Bei can still tease the Platinum Lion and play house with him.

Hey everyone, look over here!

Just as Liang He was thinking about whether to find some other entertainment activities for everyone, Li Xiao made his move.

He held up mahjong tiles and playing cards, inviting everyone to join in the game.

"Ten people, one table for mahjong, two tables for Dou Dizhu, just right."

Li Xiao had a table brought over, since there was no automatic mahjong machine, so everyone had to shuffle the tiles themselves.

"Or two mahjong tables? We can take turns; if someone loses, they step down and someone else takes their place."

Considering that some people might want to sing, or not want to do these things, we still need to ask for everyone's opinion.

Fortunately, everyone found mahjong and playing cards novel and were very happy to participate.

"Let's play Dou Dizhu!"

Already quite drunk, Leila took the women's party to the extreme, dragging Liang He and Evelyn along to take over a table for playing Dou Dizhu (a card game).

Liang He and Evelyn exchanged helpless smiles, having no choice but to obey Lyra's orders. However, Lyra had never played Dou Dizhu before and only had a vague understanding of the rules.

Why is the letter A called "point"?

Why are "sharp" and "2" larger than other numbers?

Why rob landlords?

Leila had so many "whys," especially since she had been drinking and her speech was a little unclear, making communication quite difficult.

"Um……"

Xuan Jiao, who had been obediently following Liang He, couldn't sit still any longer.

Silently, she got up, hid in a corner, covered her ears with her paws, closed her eyes, and acted as if she wouldn't listen or see anything and wouldn't be bothered.

The snow leopard, however, had a much worse temper. It barked and snatched the playing cards from Layla's hand, then turned and ran away.

"Eh? Eh!!!"

"Kuang Ye! Give me back my cards!!!"

Seeing that most of the cards in her hand had disappeared, leaving only a bunch of small cards, Leila instantly came to her senses and chased after the snow leopard, trying to snatch the playing cards back from its mouth.

"Pfft~" Evelyn really didn't expect that playing cards would turn into such a good show.

The snow leopard and Laila were playing around, and Liang He didn't stop them.

Mainly, she was also dizzy from Leila's questions and needed to clear her head.

"How about we go watch them play mahjong?"

Evelyn pulled Liang He toward the mahjong table.

Interestingly, this table happened to be occupied by the four men who liked to secretly compete with each other.

"What a fool."

As soon as Liang He got close, Landon won by drawing a tile and immediately won against the other three players.

Playing mahjong requires using your brain, and coincidentally, among the four people, apart from Liang Jia's unknown memory, Landon's intelligence is child's play when it comes to playing mahjong.

Don't take it too easy!

"Tsk tsk, Landon is planning to kick the other three off the table."

Evelyn raised an eyebrow, making a pointed comment, but Liang He didn't pay any attention and couldn't understand her subtext.

"Landon's luck is really good."

In fact, including Liang Jia, they were all novices. They might have some card counting skills, but in the end, luck still played the biggest role.

A new round of card games began. Watching their thoughtful and cautious expressions as they played, Liang He chuckled and shook her head.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they were making some important decision.

"Would you like to take a walk in the garden?"

Evelyn watched for a while, but felt that just looking at it without being able to touch it was a bit uncomfortable, so she took Lianghe downstairs to the garden for a walk.

Seeing that Leila was still fighting with Mengji Snow Leopard for playing cards, Liang He did not refuse Evelyn's suggestion.

She felt that Evelyn might have something to say to her.

"Xiao He, actually, although the main purpose of bringing Bei Bei here this time was to have fun, there are other things I want to talk to you about."

Let’s get straight to the point.

Evelyn dislikes beating around the bush, especially with female friends she greatly admires.

"Aren't you surprised that Huo An hasn't let you go back to the reserve?"

Even if it's a business trip paid for by the company, there's no such thing as leaving someone on Skarlan Star to be a live streamer and take a vacation on the side.

Besides, Goring had tried to poach Liang He, so how could Huo An be so comfortable leaving Liang He here?
"I have a rough idea. Is it about Elius and Liang Jia?"

The entanglement between Elius and the Eli family needs no further explanation.

As the research subject of the black wizard, Liang Jia's identity as an experimental subject has not yet been exposed, but none of the Federation's high-ranking officials are fools.

It's quite normal to learn Liang Jia's true identity from the undercover agent sent to the rebels.

“Erius is the leader of the space pirates. Although he is not a heinous criminal, they have robbed many high-ranking officials and nobles, so they do not want Elius to stand in the light again.”

Especially the current Duke of Elie.

Elius's presence was, in his view, very threatening.

Therefore, in discussions about matters related to Elius, many people associated with Duke Elius chose to oppose or abstain.

"So, if you really want Elius to stand in the light, you'll probably have to put in some effort."

Only significant achievements can offset his previous wrong choices.

In this way, even if Eli wanted to use any means, there would be no way to stop him.

I will reconsider this matter.

Huo An has not contacted her yet, which indicates that the situation is at a stalemate. Liang He decided to wait and see.

If the Duke of Elie doesn't let Elius go, then she'll have to investigate him thoroughly.

"Actually, I came to see you because I wanted to tell you about Wang Ting's attitude toward this matter."
