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

Chapter 471 The Scheming Serpent Appears Online

As Liang He and Mrs. Cedr were chatting happily, recounting all sorts of amusing anecdotes about Cedrir, Elius suddenly cast a resentful glance at her, instantly catching Liang He's attention.

Liang He turned her gaze to Elius with a puzzled look, blinking her eyes in confusion, until Elius said something hesitantly—

"I really envy Cedril, he has parents who care about him."

Sensing Liang He's surprised yet enlightened, loving yet guilty expression, Liang Jia, who knew the inside story, was completely speechless.

So Elius's "daring" was just a ruse?

"Xiao Hei, you..."

Liang He didn't know how to comfort Elius, but fortunately he took over the conversation himself, appearing kind and considerate.

"I'm fine, I'm just feeling a bit sentimental. Don't worry about me, go on chatting with Mrs. Saide."

Elius, feigning strength, silently bowed his head, held his rice bowl, and ate only rice, refusing to eat any vegetables.

This small gesture alone made Liang He frown, and she had no mind to chat with Mrs. Saide about Cedril's interesting stories.

"Little Black, don't just eat rice, this meat is quite delicious, you should try it."

Liang He used serving chopsticks to fill Elius's bowl to the brim with food, until the bowl was overflowing and about to spill, before she stopped.

Elius, who had only intended to play the role of a delicate and innocent girl, stiffened slightly and her eyes flickered for a moment when she saw the bowl full of food in front of her, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Cough cough... You should eat more too."

Seeing Elius's forced smile, Liang Jia was overjoyed.

Heh heh, trying to outsmart his sister? What a waste! He's out of options now, isn't he?
Serves you right! You scheming snake!

"You are Elius?"

Liang He's attention was completely captured by Elius, making it difficult for Mrs. Saide not to notice him.

Before she came, she specifically asked her son who was around Liang He, and Elius was naturally the main person she was concerned about.

"Yes, Mrs. Saide."

Elius's attitude towards his elders was relatively good in front of Liang He.

Even though Elius was disgusted by Cedril's act of calling his parents for help, he still showed him the respect due to them.

"Okay, you're okay too."

Mrs. Seid had assumed that Elius, as the leader of the space pirates, would be an arrogant and disdainful person, but she did not expect him to be so obedient.

However, she could also tell that Elius was deliberately trying to attract Liang He's attention, and she guessed that he and her son had competed for Liang He's favor quite a bit in the past.

As a mother, I can't let my son lose out.

“I heard from Lille that you stayed by Xiaohe’s side on your own initiative, which is quite a coincidence.”

"Xiao He," Mrs. Saide changed to a more affectionate nickname in a short time, and Liang He didn't seem to mind at all, accepting it happily.

As for the deeper meaning behind Mrs. Saide's words, Liang He couldn't understand it, but Elius heard it very clearly.

Isn't he implying that he only stayed by Liang He's side by forcibly faking an accident, and even tried to harm Liang He before that, making him inferior to Cedril?

"It really was fate. If it weren't for her, I might have been a monster in the abyss forever."

Elius did not refute Mrs. Saide, lest Liang He feel that he was disrespectful to his elders.

But he was never one to compromise himself. Since Mrs. Saide had already given him the opportunity, he was not to be surprised if he took advantage of it and launched another psychological attack.

As expected, after hearing his words, Liang He's heartache became even more apparent.

"Little Black, whether I'm here or not, you're not a monster."

In Liang He's eyes, Elius was a dragon from the legends of Earth!
How could it possibly be associated with monsters?

It doesn't exist at all! "But because you're here, I've realized that I have another world of my own."

Elius sincerely expressed his feelings for Liang He, which even Liang Jia, who was standing nearby, could feel, not to mention Mrs. Seid, who was facing Elius directly.

She sighed and shook her head inwardly, thinking that her silly son was probably no match for the other party, no wonder she was asked to come and take a look.

Fortunately, she was not fighting alone.

"Erius? You're that child from the Elie family who was expelled from the family? And you became a space pirate?"

Minister Seid, who was having a pleasant conversation with Chairman Lucas, immediately changed his conversation after noticing his wife's pleading gaze, and his target became Elius.

As the Federal Minister of Defense, space pirates have always been one of his key targets. Now, with Elius sitting right in front of him, the scene is somewhat eerie.

"……Yes."

Elius cannot deny either his past or present identity.

Liang He, worried that Minister Saide might have misunderstood, quickly offered a few words of explanation.

“Although Elius is the leader of the space pirates, he has never actively harmed innocent citizens. He did not come to the capital planet to do anything bad. Please forgive him, Minister Seid.”

Seeing that Liang He was defending Elius, everyone present began to speak well of Elius.

Even Mrs. Saide silently shook her head at Minister Saide, signaling him not to overstep his bounds and frighten the children.

"I was just asking casually, what are you afraid of?"

If Minister Saide really wanted to capture him, he could have sent the Federation army to surround and annihilate him the moment Elius stepped into the capital planet. Why wait until now?

"The reason you dared to bring this kid back is because you've been planning this for a long time and are confident in your plan, right?"

That's what they say, but Liang He still had to consider Cedril's feelings, after all, they were Cedril's parents.

Even though Liang He felt sorry for Elius and made plans for him, she was unwilling to hurt Cedriel's feelings.

Because they are all her family, the furry creatures she truly loves and who accompany her every day.

"Yes, I think the Ellie family should give him justice."

Even if Elius hadn't mentioned it, what happened back then caused quite a stir.

It wouldn't be difficult for Liang He to investigate thoroughly.

"You want a ducal family to apologize to him? That's not going to be easy."

The title of Duke of Elitaire is hereditary, which means that the Elitaire family originally had a deep foundation and great power.

For people like them, family reputation is paramount, because they share in the glory and the loss.

Therefore, even if they were wrong back then, they certainly won't admit it now.

Minister Saide was quite curious as to why Liang He was so confident that she could control a ducal family.

"Whether they apologize or not, the truth is there, and I believe that justice will prevail."

Compared to Ellitale's hypocritical apology, Liang He felt that changing public perception was far more important.

Only by changing the public's impression of Elius will he have the opportunity to appear openly and legitimately in any corner of the galaxy.

"Haha! Your idea is indeed very good, it's just a pity..."

Minister Saide had to admit that he admired Liang He's drive, but ultimately he was still a bit immature.

"You're not just facing the Ellie family; there are countless other families involved behind them, making it far more complex than you can imagine."

In particular, the current head of the family is Ellitaire.

The person they just offended.
