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

Chapter 480 Xuanjiao's Strange Movements: Another Conspiracy?
Xuan Jiao's sudden departure drew everyone's attention.

Liang He, who was most concerned about him, followed him out immediately.

"What's going on? The evolved orcs are acting strangely. Could it be that a ferocious beast has broken in?"

Reina knew about Xuanjiao's identity, so she immediately associated him with a ferocious beast.

"Impossible. There are many orcs in our tribe. If a ferocious beast were to break in, we would definitely notice."

The head of the Leonard family immediately denied Reina's speculation.

But if it wasn't a ferocious beast, why did Xuanjiao suddenly rush out?
"Hurry up and follow them to check. We can't let Xuan Jiao get into trouble here."

Reina hadn't forgotten what Liang He had said during the match against Elitel.

If anything happens to Xuan Jiao, the entire planet Blue Star will turn out to avenge him.

"Jiaojiao!"

Liang He followed closely behind Xuan Jiao, heading towards the Leonard family's 'back garden'.

The entrance to the garden was heavily guarded, and the appearance of the iron-eating beast surprised them and made them instinctively wary.

"stop!"

Fortunately, Reina arrived in time and stopped the guards who were about to stop the Iron-Eating Beast.

"Open the door and let him in."

The guards obeyed and made way, and Xuan Jiao instantly disappeared from sight, with Liang He following closely behind.

Afraid of losing her, Reina didn't care about anything else at this moment and simply transformed into her beast form, since four legs are always faster than two.

"Liang He! Come up here!"

Soon, a fiery red fox appeared beside Liang He and they raced together toward the Iron-Eating Beast.

Liang He continued walking, but still had time to glance at the red fox, which was slightly larger than Forpers.

"You are... Reina?"

Recalling the fox tail that Reina had forcibly stuffed into her hand when they first met, coupled with the familiar voice, Liang He's first thought was Reina.

"It's me! Come on up, I'll take you after Xuan Jiao!"

Even though Reina knew that Liang He was very capable, she couldn't bear to see her "run herself ragged" and was willing to become Liang He's "mount" to help her chase the Iron-Eating Beast.

Reina noticed that Liang He was hesitant, so she quickly explained to her to save her from feeling embarrassed.

"I know this place better than you do, so I can catch up with him faster!"

"Then it's hard work for you."

Sensing that Reina didn't mind taking her along, Liang He stopped hesitating and nimbly climbed onto Reina's back.

After confirming that Liang He was seated, Reina headed straight for Xuan Jiao's location, even taking a shortcut.

“Strange…this seems to be the place where we found Fulperth.”

As Reina said, she was very familiar with the garden.

Since Falpers was seriously injured, Reina, as his aunt, would definitely find out what happened, which is why this place looks very familiar to her.

"Could it be..."

"What did you find?"

Liang He noticed that Reina seemed lost in thought. She urgently needed to find out the reason for Xuan Jiao's sudden change in behavior, so she could only press Reina for answers.

"I suspect that Xuanjiao may have detected the scent of the black bear."

Upon their first meeting, the Iron Eater reacted strongly to the black bear scent emanating from Reina.

Now that he has suddenly barged into the back garden, Reina can't help but make connections.

"A black bear? The black bear that attacked Fulperth before, didn't you get rid of it?"

If the black bear wasn't a ferocious beast or an orc in disguise, even if it harmed Fulperth, it could only be classified as normal animal combat.

In general, the black bears are either sent back to the forest or placed in the care of a protected area.

“No, we’re too worried about Folpers to have the time or energy to catch it.” But Reina was certain that the black bear was neither a ferocious beast nor an orc.

"But the black bear suddenly broke through the barrier and appeared here, and even fought with Forpers before being discovered, which really puzzled me."

After hearing Reina's thoughts, Liang He had a vague idea in her mind.

However, since she hadn't seen the black bear yet, she couldn't directly tell Reina her speculations.

"Putting all that aside for now, if Jiaojiao really did go after the black bear, we should have the answer once we find him."

Liang He's only worry now is that Xuan Jiao has a stress response to black bears and might accidentally get injured...

Reina, of course, had no objection to Liang He's decision.

"Okay, then hold on tight, I'm going to speed up!"

Reina's heart raced with excitement at the thought of possibly catching the black bear that had harmed Folpers.

She also wanted to find out the truth and confirm her suspicions.

By this time, Xuanjiao had followed the unpleasant smell of the black bear all the way to its temporary dwelling.

"Roar!!!"

The usually adorable and innocent Iron-Eating Beast suddenly let out a terrifying roar, which was clearly heard even by Liang He and Reina, who were some distance away.

"Jiaojiao has always had a good temper; this is the first time I've ever heard him roar."

Liang He frowned, her worries growing, but she couldn't urge Reina on, since Reina was already rushing along frantically.

"Judging from the sound, Xuanjiao doesn't seem angry, but rather intimidated."

As a fellow orc, Reina had some understanding of animal sounds.

So, Xuanjiao didn't actually see the black bear as an enemy; he simply wanted to capture it.
"Roar!"

Another roar, much weaker than that of the Iron-Eating Beast, reached the ears of the man and the fox.

"Is that the black bear's voice?"

It sounds like they can't harm Xuan Jiao.

However, being a fellow evolved beastman, Liang He couldn't help but worry when she thought of Fulper's injuries.

Moreover, even a cunning fox can be seriously injured by a black bear, so how could the adorable and honest Xuanjiao be its match?

"Don't worry, although Forpers is seriously injured, the black bear is definitely not in good shape either. Its strength has been greatly reduced, so it shouldn't be able to hurt Xuan Jiao."

Knowing that Liang He valued the Iron-Eating Beast, Reina comforted her all the way and kept going until they arrived at the 'battleground'.

"Jiaojiao!"

Upon seeing Xuan Jiao, Liang He immediately jumped off Reina's back and ran towards him.

Xuan Jiao, whose attention was originally focused on the black bear, immediately stood in front of Liang He to prevent the black bear from launching a sneak attack and hurting her.

"Uh-huh."

Facing Liang He, Xuan Jiao's voice softened considerably, yet remained firm, as if telling her not to worry.

Reina was a step slower, but instead of reverting to human form, she also stood in front of Liang He in her beast form. Xuan Jiao, who was not prejudiced against outsiders, had no objection to this.

Liang He, who was being protected, observed the black bear's every move through them, which finally confirmed her guess.

"It is an intelligent, Class A ferocious beast."

"A Class A ferocious beast?"

Reina's fox-like eyes widened in surprise. It wouldn't be difficult for these noble families to find out about the rebels' development of Class A ferocious beasts.

Reina never expected that a Class A ferocious beast would appear in the Leonard family's 'back garden'.

"Was Fulper's injury a deliberate act by the rebels?"

If the black bear were an ordinary animal, even if Forpers had actually died because of it, the Leonard family would have had to swallow the blame.

But if all of this is a conspiracy by the rebels, then it's a completely different story.
