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

Chapter 536: Have we strayed from the main force again?
The ghost turtles moved slowly across the clear blue river, forming groups that resembled small, icy blue islands, each only big enough for two or three people to board.

Liang He sat on the back of the Ghost Turtle, keeping a close eye on the two mischievous creatures, the Platinum Lion and the Mengji Snow Leopard, fearing they might get carried away and accidentally fall into the river.

"Are they evolved orcs?"

The ghost turtles, who live year-round in the endless ice domain and slumber in the blue ice river, are unaware of what is happening in interstellar space.

They don't care, or rather, they're too lazy to care.

"Yes, his name is Kuang Ye, and his name is Xirui'er."

Liang He sat on the turtle's back and introduced the names of Mengji Snow Leopard and Platinum Giant Lion to the Ghost Turtle Boss, without mentioning their identities.

In her view, since these ghost turtles have chosen to live in seclusion, there is no need to cause them trouble by using their worldly identities.

"Haha~ They sound like two naughty and unruly little guys."

As we all know, SSS-level beastmen enter their evolutionary period after reaching adulthood, which lasts for three to five years. So no matter how you calculate it, the Ghost Turtle leader is much older than them.

Therefore, the general and the crown prince, who were naturally referred to as "little guys," didn't even have a reason to object.

"They are quite lively, but I would rather they continue to live a lively and happy life."

Liang He's blessing for them was simple.

As long as she's alive, she's willing to be rebellious and disobedient.

Just like how Earthlings love keeping cats and dogs, even if their furry friends are disobedient, they can only grit their teeth and accept it, spoiling them.

"No wonder they're so clingy to you."

Although the Ghost Turtle couldn't see Liang He's expression, it could clearly feel from her voice and the gentleness she exuded that she genuinely cared for them.

It was precisely because of this unique gentleness and kindness that the Ghost Turtle boss treated her differently.

"Little girl, if you ever run into any trouble here in the future, just come to me. I'll protect you!"

The Ghost Turtle doesn't like to move, so the area it protects Liang He is only this small plot of land; any more... it's too lazy to move.

Even so, the Ghost Turtle's promise is already quite remarkable.

Tortoise shells are really hard!
"Haha~ Thank you in advance."

Liang He chatted happily with the Ghost Turtle leader, so happily that she didn't even realize she had lost track of the main group.

Or rather, it was Ghost Turtle, the leader, who intentionally led her away from the main group.

"Huh? Where are Liang He and the others? I can't see them."

Fearing an ambush by the Ghost Turtle Boss while crossing the river, Xu Yi was the first to notice Liang He's disappearance.

At Xu Yi's prompting, Cedril and Landon immediately began searching for Liang He, but they couldn't find her anywhere. They were so anxious that they wanted to turn back and look for her.

"Hey, hey, hey? Don't worry, Liang He is safe."

Seeing that Landon was about to transform into a blue falcon and fly into the air to find someone, Silver Shuttle immediately stopped him, fearing that he would ruin his plans.

Realizing that Silver Shuttle was hiding something from them, Landon frowned, exchanged a knowing glance with Cedril, and then both grabbed Silver Shuttle's arms.

"Speak! What do you want to do to her?!"

If it weren't for the fact that everyone was an acquaintance, that Silver Shuttle had prepared a surprise for them, and that it was within the territory of the Silverwing Temple, Cedriel and Landon would never have been so relaxed and vigilant, giving them an opportunity to take advantage.

Unexpectedly, their momentary lapse in attention led them to lose Liang He, which infuriated and distressed them greatly.

"Hey hey hey!!! Gently! Gently! I'm innocent!"

Silver Shuttle couldn't fight against powerful figures, especially the Federal Marshal and the First Commander, who were both powerful figures. He was in so much pain that he kept crying out.

The only person of his clan, Yin Ling, surprisingly did not speak out to stop him, which clearly indicated that he also disapproved of Yin Suo's actions.

"Little Shuttle, what exactly happened? Don't keep it from us." Since both the Holy Maiden and the Great Aunt had spoken, Yin Shuttle naturally dared not continue to hide it and could only stammer out a question, feeling extremely guilty.

"Actually... it's nothing, it's just that... she wants to see Liang He alone..."

That one?

Huo Anfu stared intently at the silver shuttle.

"You mean—Divine Child Yinqi?"

Yin Qi was originally a reverted Qilin sent from Yin Hui Star to Tian Yao Star by the orders of the Holy Maiden and the High Priest, under the command of the High Priest.

"who are you?"

After realizing that the Ghost Turtle Boss intended to take her on a solo mission, Liang He, relying on her own strength and not sensing any malice from the Ghost Turtle Boss, did not stop him.

After all, she was also very curious about whose orders the Ghost Turtle Boss had given to take her away.

Unexpectedly, the Ghost Turtle took her to an island that looked like a fairyland. After she successfully landed on the island, it turned around and left.

Thus, Liang He could only enter the island under the protection of the Mengji Snow Leopard and the Platinum Giant Lion, until she met a man with a head of flowing white hair, which fell like a waterfall of stars.

"Hello, Liang He."

Upon hearing Liang He's question, the man slowly turned around, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face to her.

What impressed Liang He the most were his pair of clear, icy blue eyes.

"You are... Yin Qi?"

After learning that there were beastmen among the furry creatures, Liang He naturally realized that the divine beast that the Silverwing Temple had asked her to help 'heal' was actually their divine child.

After all, back then, Yinling and his group were so bold that they didn't even bother to change their names.

"Yes, I am Yin Qi, it's nice to meet you."

As I am now.

Seeing that Liang He recognized him at a glance, a smile gradually appeared on Yin Qi's god-like face.

His eyes, as clear and bright as ice-blue gemstones, rippled with warmth, clearly remembering his time with Liang He in the Tianyao Star Nature Reserve.

I'm sorry to meet you in this way.

Before Liang He could speak, Yin Qi expressed his apology first.

He had actually wanted to see Liang He for a long time, but she came to the temple for the grand ceremony with so many people that Yin Qi couldn't find an opportunity to meet her alone.

Therefore, upon learning that Yin Shuo wanted to prepare a surprise for the guests, Yin Qi decisively bribed Yin Shuo and summoned the Ghost Turtle as an accomplice, thus tricking Liang He into coming.

"Is there something you want to say to me alone?"

As intelligent as Liang He was, once she realized that all of this was arranged by Yin Qi, she understood some things.

She said that with Ghost Turtle's arrogant nature, how could Silver Shuttle easily persuade him to bring his people to act as a ferry and take them across the river?

If it was Yin Qi's order, then everything makes perfect sense.

"Ah."

Yin Qi didn't expect that Liang He could see through his thoughts before he even spoke.

This unspoken understanding made Yin Qi feel as if he had returned to the joyful time they spent together briefly in the Tianyao Star Reserve, which made him more gentle and his eyes filled with determination.

"I...have a premonition."

I was so angry today. I encountered a really rude delivery rider who even threatened me. I was so angry my head was spinning and I was shaking all over. Luckily, I made it to the update before midnight. Sorry for keeping you all waiting!
