Shiji drew the sword from the scabbard, gripped the hilt tightly, and poured strength into it. The sword was like a mirror, cold and overwhelming, and the high burning blade on the edge of the blade condensed with cold light, as if it was flowing endlessly, adding to the sword's chilling aura.

Shiji waved his sword lightly, and a wave of sword energy instantly knocked the person rushing towards him away.

"Ah, it hurts so much!" The person who was knocked away screamed while covering his chest.

The leader yelled angrily, "Useless things, keep charging, or I'll kill you when I get back!"

Although everyone was afraid, they still rushed towards Shiji.

Shiji was agile and easily dodged the attacks of the crowd. She quickly got behind the leader and put the hilt of her sword against his neck: "If anyone comes over here again, I will kill him."

The leader panicked: "Stop, stop, stop! Don't attack him."

The others looked at each other, at a loss.

The warriors who were watching the fun laughed and said, "Oh, is this all you have?"

Xiaoli cursed, "A bunch of rubbish, they didn't even hurt a hair of Shiji."

Alas, it seems that he has to take action at the critical moment.

Xiaoli took out a dagger secretly while everyone was not paying attention, and approached quietly, intending to attack Shiji from behind.

The pigeon elf exclaimed, "Master, be careful!"

"Ah!" Xiaoli's hand was tightly grasped by another strong hand, and then twisted upwards, and his hand... broke.

Shiji exerted force and Xiaoli fell to the ground. He grabbed his broken hand with his other hand and screamed, "Ah! My hand! My hand is broken!"

Everyone was shocked: Shiji was able to quickly sense the danger and knock Xiaoli over with one hand while holding someone hostage!
Although this scene is a bit cruel, Shiji's image in everyone's mind is more majestic.

Shiji said to the warriors, "Don't have any bad thoughts at this time. Think about your own abilities first."

He glanced at the crowd, pointed at a few of them, and said calmly: "You, you, you, and you, go find some ropes."

Although the tone was gentle, it made people tremble in their hearts as if they were hearing the orders of the devil.

"Okay... okay." The people being pointed out thought that Shiji was going to kill them, but when they heard that he was asked to get a rope, they slowly let go of their worries.

"Master, aren't you afraid that they will take the opportunity to escape?" asked the pigeon elf.

"Don't be afraid." Shiji said, "Now I am like a demon in their hearts, they dare not run away."

As Shiji expected, these people came back with ropes soon, and did not plan to escape. Because they knew that with Shiji's strength, they would not be able to escape far even if they ran, and would be caught soon, and they did not know how they would be punished by then.

Shiji took the rope, tied the men together, tied a knot, and threw them on the side of the road, saying coldly, "I'm in a good mood today, so I won't kill you."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"But," Shiji suddenly changed the subject, "I'm leaving you here, it's getting dark soon, and there are wild beasts everywhere. If you're lucky enough not to die, then you're lucky. But if you're eaten by wild beasts, then there's nothing I can do."

Everyone thought to themselves: How terrible! We can’t afford to offend him! Mom, I want to go home!

Shiji ignored them and walked over to the warriors. The warriors looked at him and trembled, fearing that he would kill them in the next second.

Shiji said expressionlessly: "I know you planned to escape after my death. But unfortunately, you failed to do so and fell into my hands instead."

The warriors panicked and begged for mercy, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Lord Ishiji, please be magnanimous and let us go!"

Shiji raised her eyebrows and said, "Since you are so sincere, I will give you two choices. One, let me kill you with my sword now; two, you must obey me and serve me from now on, and never betray me. If I find out that someone has betrayed me in the future, I will make him live a life worse than death!"

The warriors looked at each other, their faces full of embarrassment. They whispered a few words and glanced at the stone in front of them.

The man's power was so amazing that the warriors thought for a moment and finally nodded. They lowered their heads and honestly expressed their willingness to follow him. After all, no one wanted to really die here, and being able to survive was also good.

They knew that they would not be able to report back like this, so it would be better to follow Shiji honestly, maybe there would be a way out. Maybe one day when this gentleman is in a good mood, they can also follow him to rise to prominence, this is what most people think.

So, they set out again, and soon arrived at the place of transaction, just in time.

The rich businessman stood in front of them and called a few people to inspect the quality of the ore. Those people looked left and right, touched left and right, and occasionally knocked on it with their hands to listen to the sound, as if to say: "Does this sound good? If it sounds good, it means the ore is good!"

After a careful inspection, the few people confirmed that everything was correct and reported to the rich businessman: This batch of goods is the same as the previous batch, all of which are high-quality ore.

The transaction was successfully completed. Not only that, the rich businessman also invited them to dinner.

At the dinner table, the rich businessman inquired about the source of the ore intentionally or unintentionally, but Shiji was vague about it. After all, the ore was of the best quality, so how could he let others know about it easily?

The rich businessman said, "Shiji, you and I are both sensible people. Although this mine is good, it is still inferior to those famous mines. And I heard that a new mine has been opened nearby, with good ore quality and large quantity. This ore will depreciate sooner or later, and you can't handle this amount." As he spoke, the rich businessman showed a look of great concern for Shiji. However, Shiji knew in his heart that this was just a lie of the rich businessman. He had long seen through the rich businessman's little tricks, and the so-called "new mine" was all made up. The rich businessman's purpose was very simple, that is, to acquire his mine.

Shiji remained silent, quietly listening to the rich businessman continue to talk. Seeing that Shiji was silent, the rich businessman thought that Shiji was tempted and hesitated. He was secretly happy, thinking that as long as the price was right, the mine would definitely be his.

The rich businessman began to dream of taking off and becoming rich, imagining that his wealth would be greatly increased after acquiring the mine. He had already started thinking about where to build his next residence.

The rich businessman couldn't wait to continue, "How about this, Shiji, you name a price and I'll buy the mine. This way you don't have to worry about it in the future, and I'll bear the profit and loss of the ore myself. If you lose, you'll lose everything, and I naturally don't care about this little money. This deal is absolutely worthwhile for you!"

Shiji smiled and declined. He said, "Although I am young, I have the confidence to run this mine well. Thank you for your concern."

The rich businessman's face changed when he heard this, and he cursed Shiji in his heart for being ungrateful. But he didn't dare to show it on the surface, after all, the mine and the ore were still in Shiji's hands. He had no choice but to admit defeat and continue to have dinner with Shiji.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became awkward. After a while, Shiji said to the rich businessman, "Thank you for your hospitality. I'm full. It's getting late and we want to go back as soon as possible. I won't bother you anymore. We'll leave right away."

After hearing this, the rich businessman could only sigh with regret and said, "Remember to come find me next time you go out to mine."

Shiji said goodbye to the rich businessman and the group set off on their journey home. The journey back was very smooth, and they soon returned to the Orc Kingdom and went to the palace to meet the king.

The king was extremely happy to see Shiji coming back. He was even more delighted when he saw the large amount of treasures Shiji presented to him. Even the sound of his voice when he spoke to Shiji seemed to be full of smiles.

Shiji looked at the king quietly, neither seeking credit nor being modest. He just smiled slightly, and waited until the king was happy before he said, "The deal is done, and I have helped you mine the mine. Can you let me leave the Orc Kingdom as you promised?"

The king was a little hesitant after hearing this. After all, leaving Shiji would be like leaving a mountain of gold. The king was really reluctant to leave.

The king knew that he had made a promise and could not go back on it. That was not his style and he had to maintain his reputation.

So he nodded and agreed to Shiji's request. The king said to Shiji: "You have brought us such rich and high-quality minerals and created huge wealth for us. I am really grateful."

"Shiji, you are the benefactor of our Orc Kingdom. Without you, we would never have reached our current heights. Thank you so much!" The king said as he signaled the attendants around him to perform the highest etiquette of the Orc Kingdom to Shiji.

Shiji looked at them and nodded slightly. After the ceremony was over, he said calmly that he was just fulfilling his promise.

Now that the promise has been fulfilled, the Orc Kingdom has these rich mineral resources and no longer has to worry about poverty. The future development will definitely get better and better. And he himself is about to embark on a new journey.

After hearing this, the orc king nodded his head in agreement. He looked at Shiji, as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant. He opened and closed his mouth, but finally swallowed his words back.

Shiji noticed the king's hesitation and took the initiative to ask, "Your Majesty, do you have any questions? Please tell me and I will answer them for you."

The king smacked his lips, looked at Shiji carefully, and then looked around him, his eyes full of surprise. After a long time, he asked, "Shiji, you are young but have an extraordinary demeanor, you are calm and composed in the face of things, and you exude the aura of a king. You are definitely not an ordinary person."

"With your ability, you can choose to run away, and I will not be able to catch you. But why didn't you choose to run away?" The king continued, "I have never seen such a strong king's spirit before! I believe you will become a great man in the future! When you do, don't forget me, the orc king!"

After hearing the king's questions and praise, Shiji did not get carried away, but just smiled and kept silent. He did not intend to tell the king the reason why he did not run away, as he felt it was unnecessary.

After a while, the king invited Shiji to take a walk in the garden. After all, Shiji was about to leave the orc kingdom and embark on his own journey.

The king and Shiji walked side by side in the garden, sometimes appreciating flowers, sometimes looking at leaves, and sometimes looking at grass. Although the orc kingdom was simple, the garden was beautiful. From time to time, the king asked Shiji for advice on how to govern the country, and the two of them quietly admired the flowers.

In this silence, Shiji was the first to speak. He said to the king: "Humans are not insignificant creatures, King. They will also unite and use technology to create weapons to fight against the enemy."

"Please stop provoking humans. I believe your people also know that peace is what they desire most. If you protect peace, you are protecting your people and giving them the opportunity to live and reproduce. Only in this way can the country become stronger, the world will be more peaceful, and everyone can smile."

The king listened to Shiji's words and thought they made a lot of sense. After thinking for a moment, he nodded solemnly and promised Shiji that he would never provoke humans again.

The king even considered establishing diplomatic relations with humans in the future. After all, the wealth brought by the minerals was given by humans.

Shiji nodded with satisfaction and smiled at the king, who smiled back.

Soon after, Shiji and his warriors were ready to set off. The king personally saw them off, which was a rare honor in the Orc Kingdom.

The king stood on the top of the city wall, looking at Shiji in front of him, patted his shoulder vigorously, and said reluctantly: "Shiji, don't worry, you will always be a friend of the Orc Kingdom! If you encounter difficulties, I will do my best and call on all citizens to do their best to help you. Just go forward with confidence!"

Shiji was moved when she heard the king's words. Thinking back to the time when they first met, and looking at the present, both humans and beastmen have changed, and they are willing to put aside their prejudices and become friends.

After that, they talked about many trivial things. Finally, the chapter of the Orc Kingdom came to an end. After experiencing this episode, Shiji was about to usher in a new story. He said goodbye to the Orc King and embarked on the road ahead.

So, Shiji and a group of warriors bid farewell to the Orc Kingdom and embarked on a new journey.

At this time, the pigeon spirit flew out of the space ring. She stared at Shiji curiously and asked softly, "Master, where should we go next?" The pigeon spirit still maintained its animal form, standing on Shiji's shoulder like a small pigeon, tilting its head, looking very cute. Shiji couldn't help but look at it a few more times, then held her in the palm of his hand and stroked her gently.

The feathers of the pigeon were smooth and soft, and felt great. Shiji touched it several times before letting it go. He smiled and said with a hint of tenderness in his tone: "'Since we are here, we should make the best of it'. We will head east and we will naturally find the direction."

At this time, there was a commotion among the warriors behind Shiji. Although the voices were not loud, several warriors could still be heard complaining in low voices, as if they were quite dissatisfied with Shiji. Shiji glanced at them coldly, especially the leader, and the warriors' voices immediately stopped. Shiji turned around and faced them.

"You are from the Dragon and Tiger Palace, so it is understandable that you are not obedient to me. But you must think clearly about your situation. Now you are just my defeated generals. You are my subordinates and must obey my orders." (End of this chapter)
