Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

However, judging from the current state of Lin Academy, it seems unrealistic to continue rescuing people. Dougs sighed softly.

"I apologize. I was taking care of my health and couldn't be disturbed. I acted rashly this time, which made my injuries even more serious. So, I may have to wait a few more days before I can treat His Majesty the Beast King."

After a moment of silence, he looked at the two beastmen princes again, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. If these two hadn't been causing trouble, there probably wouldn't have been so many complications, causing those innocent beastmen to suffer losses for nothing.

"You should rest well first. I'll have someone keep an eye on this place and prevent any troublemakers from bothering you."

"Thank you very much then." Coughing up another trace of blood, Lin Xueyin, her pretty face pale, thanked him.

Several figures vanished into thin air just as quickly as they had arrived. As he left, Dougs glanced at Lin Xueyin one last time, then looked at the two princes to the side.

"Remember this: during the days Lin Xueyin is recuperating, you are not allowed to come here and cause trouble again. If there is a next time, then you will no longer be able to live here."

After saying this, he also quickly disappeared into the sky, while Nakumar, who watched him leave, glared fiercely at the frail woman in front of him.

It was all because of this woman that he had lost his greatest protection. Although he really wanted to take this opportunity to win her over, he could only helplessly stomp a small hole in the floor beneath his feet when he thought of those Saint-level beings.

"Hmph..." He arrived with several guards, but left alone. Nakumar knew that he had already missed his best opportunity.

When he first came, he only hoped to visit the woman, check on her condition, and determine when she could receive treatment again so he could make some arrangements. However, he never expected it to turn out this way.

K'sus just smiled wryly at the human guards in front of him. "I'm sorry, I didn't know so many things would happen. I hope Pastor Lin can recover well. If you need anything, just come to me."

After saying this, perhaps fearing the other party's sarcasm, he left in a hurry without waiting for a reply.

"Aria, help me back first, I want to rest for a while."

Lin Xueyin weakly tugged at Arya, who was trying to provoke Cthulhu, and then closed her somewhat obscure eyes.

"Well, we'll go back now."

Suppressing her anger, Ailiya picked up Lin Xueyin and carried her towards the room where they had rested.

Watching Ailiya leave carrying Lin Xueyin, Kalier and Kashaer exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly. This older sister, really, she acted so convincingly that she startled them at first. But when they remembered how she glared at them slightly when she collapsed, they realized that this older sister was probably up to something again.

It's just a pity for Sister Aria, so innocent, always worried about Sister Yukine's health. If things are exposed later, I wonder how Sister Yukine will explain it to her. Suddenly, things seem to be getting a little interesting.

Ailiya carried Lin Xueyin back to her room in a princess carry. The pale-faced girl clutched her collar tightly, her lips pursed, and she managed to utter a weak "I'm sorry."

"Xueyin, it's not your fault, we were just too presumptuous."

Looking at the weak and powerless girl, Ailiya gently placed her on the bed, her sexy lips lightly touching Lin Xueyin's forehead, her small hand gently resting on the girl's chest, her face filled with shame.

"I'm sorry, Yukine. We were too reckless. We thought we could lure the assassin out, but instead you were injured so badly again."

"I'm fine. But the assassin matter isn't so simple. Aria, you've done your job, but don't worry, I'll help clean up the mess."

Seeing the pain in Lin Xueyin's voice, her soft and weak words, made her feel even more guilty. Especially when she heard Xueyin's intermittent coughing, it felt like a sharp knife was stabbing into her heart.

“Aria, do you know that this expression doesn’t suit you at all?”

She tugged at the corners of her lips slightly, trying to force a smile, but it looked more like a bitter one. She seemed to be trying to comfort her friend, unaware that she was rubbing salt into her wounds, making her more easily consumed by guilt.

"I'm sorry, Yukine, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I'm the one who's bad."

"I already told you, this has nothing to do with you, Aria. Go check on the Royal Guard outside. They need you there too. Right now, maintaining morale is the most important thing."

He continued speaking with difficulty, hoping to distract Arya, because the two little girls were also giving him a guilty look. Their pitiful little faces looked like they were about to cry.

"I understand..." Ailiya glanced at the somewhat weak Lin Xueyin. Although she wanted to stay with her, as the team leader, she had to take responsibility at this moment.

Her inner strength told her that she needed to stay calm so that everyone could safely weather this crisis. "I'll head out now. If anything happens, have Kaliel and the others contact me."

"Okay, don't worry. But be careful out there. Who knows what kind of trouble the beastmen might cause? Be sure to stay safe."

"Don't worry, I won't be so easily caught by those brainless orcs."

He gave Lin Xueyin a thumbs-up, a confident smile on his face, which made Lin Xueyin shake her head. So confident again, isn't she afraid of something going wrong? But with me here, even if she does crash, I can get her back on her feet. I'll just let her have some fun.

Watching Ailiya leave, even glancing at her subconsciously as she closed the door, Lin Xueyin chuckled and waved gently as a farewell, which finally made her leave reluctantly.

Turning his head again to look at the little girls who were about to cry from guilt, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Alright, it's not a big deal. There's nothing to be sad about. You all know my current situation."

Since no one else was around, Lin Xueyin no longer needed to feign weakness, and a faint smile returned to her face.

"I'm sorry, Xueyin-neechan, we didn't mean to, we just wanted to... wanted to..."

"You want to use this opportunity to lure out that assassin, right? But you seem to have forgotten that this assassin has connections with the orcs' higher-ups. Would they risk everything to kill me before they actually see me regain consciousness? Or rather, if I don't go to treat the Beast King, is it really necessary for them to risk being caught?"

Gently stroking the two little girls' heads, watching them nod as if they understood, she chuckled softly, a row of adorable pearly teeth peeking out from between her lips.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you. Besides, it's time for us to close the net."

"Closing the net? But haven't we done nothing at all?"

"You didn't do anything? I remember sending you to quite a few places before, and didn't you put what I wrote in the places I told you to?"

Lin Xueyin smiled as she looked at the still bewildered little girls, their bright, wide eyes staring at her with confusion. They were so cute...

"Ugh... Sister Xueyin, your eyes are so scary..." Kaliel and Kashael took two steps back in fear, not understanding why they were being looked at with such strange eyes.

He coughed twice, touched his face, and tried to change his expression back to normal. "I'm not going to eat you, so what's there to be afraid of? Okay, just watch the show. I think there are a lot more fun things to come."

"But we didn't receive any information. Is it really possible to just send a note?" Somewhat surprised, she realized that she had indeed secretly placed the note in the corner of the previous hall, as long as no one found it.

Then they would sneak away, but they never got anything from there. Does that mean the best time has come?

"I never expected you to get anything back. Don't worry, there will be a big show in a few days, so you don't need to worry."

"Yes, yes, since Xueyin-neechan said so, then something is bound to happen. We will definitely protect Xueyin-neechan when the time comes."

As if she had made a decision, Kalier nodded vigorously, but Lin Xueyin pinched her face hard again.

"Don't make any promises in your mind, just take good care of yourselves. Also, remember to stay with Aria and the others, and don't get too close to me."

"Huh? Why is that? Aren't we supposed to protect you? How can we protect you if we're far away..."

"You guys, by then, there will be plenty of orcs around me. There won't be any room for you to stand. Just stick close to Arya. Also, you must stop Arya from sending people to get involved. This is an internal orc problem and has nothing to do with us."

As they were talking, they heard Lin Xueyin write something on the note again and hand it to them. However, this time the task had changed.

"This note is the same as before, but tonight you need to go back to the same spot and retrieve another note. Remember, be very careful not to let anyone find it."

"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, we know that place inside and out."

Kaliel, patting her little chest and confidently assuring herself, looked so adorable that Lin Xueyin once again felt the cuteness of a little girl. She really wanted to...

While Lin Xueyin was disciplining the little girl, things weren't so harmonious over there. Nakumar, returning to his residence, walked back to his study, seething with anger.

Looking at the cabinet full of books, Nakumar had no desire to look at them. Right now, all he wanted to do was kill. That's right, he wanted to kill those who dared to provoke him.

"Ailiya, Lin Xueyin, and those two little girls, I'm going to make you regret this."

His most trusted subordinate was burned to ashes right before his eyes. This not only shocked Nakumar, but also made him feel threatened by Lin Xueyin's existence.

That staff must be a divine artifact. I never imagined that a mere human would have a divine artifact by her side, giving her such a powerful boost that she could kill her most powerful Berserker-level assassin in one fell swoop, and even stand up to those Saint-level powerhouses.

That staff was definitely not an ordinary artifact; it was a powerful artifact that could potentially grant someone temporary Saint-level strength. The fact that such a weapon had fallen into the hands of a little girl made him even more resentful.

A feeling of jealousy kept gnawing at Nakumar's heart, making him wish he could grab that woman right now and snatch the divine staff from her.

"Go investigate today and see if you find anything." He swept everything on the table in front of him to the floor, turned his back to the door, and didn't turn around, as if talking to thin air. He said something completely out of the blue.

"Yes, we still didn't see the Second Prince make any unusual moves this time. I suspect that it might not have been the Second Prince who made the move this time. Perhaps there are others who want the Beast King to keep his eyes closed."

"Hmph, you mean there were other people involved in the assassination of the Beast King, and my poor second brother took the bullet for someone else?"

The slight raising of his eyebrows brought a cold smile to the face of the beastman prince. How ridiculous! His own brother would take a bullet for someone else. He really wanted to see who had such a great ability.

“Continue the investigation. This time, expand the scope and include the people around my second brother. I want to see how long he can keep hiding.”

Once the second brother is completely defeated, as for the third brother, how can that weak fool lead the mighty orcs? At that time, I will become the sole heir.

Just as he was still immersed in his beautiful fantasies about the future, Lin Xueyin's cold, mocking smile suddenly appeared in his mind, interrupting all his imagination.

"Damn it." If that woman and the second brother have made some kind of deal, I'm afraid I really won't be able to get rid of him.

Nakumar turned to look at the orc kneeling before him, who seemed like a shadow. "Help me kill someone. Find an opportunity to make her die where she deserves to die."

He looked up, his scarlet eyes devoid of any emotion, as if killing were as easy as tearing paper. "I understand. May I ask, Your Highness, who exactly do you intend to kill...?"

While the eldest prince was plotting murder, the third prince, C'Sullivan, had no such thoughts. He happily returned to his residence and quickly went back to the secret chamber he had been in before.

"Haha, that's great! Big brother really went and caused trouble today. Sure enough, all the talk about him before was for nothing. He really just acted impulsively."

"What, has Lin Xueyin really woken up?"

The speaker's tone was full of complexity, as if he was conflicted about Lin Xueyin's awakening, as if he both hoped that she would wake up and was very dissatisfied with the fact that she had woken up.

"I know you have a deep conflict with that woman, but didn't I promise you that if you can help me obtain the throne of the Beast King, I will naturally help you capture this woman alive? Then, whether you kill her or play with her is entirely up to you, isn't it?"

"That's right, exactly. You really understand me..."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two locked eyes and burst into wild laughter.

“If I don’t understand you, who else can I understand? However, the main problem now is with Father. I’m worried that what we did before will be discovered, so I hope we can resolve Father’s matter as soon as possible.”

"Are you in such a hurry to get rid of your father?" The man looked coldly at the orc in front of him. As expected of an orc, he was willing to assassinate his own father for the sake of a position.

"There's no chance for now. You should know that the other side has made full preparations. Unless they want Lin Xueyin to go again and drive all those guards away, my people can't get in."

"I understand, so I want Lin Xueyin to go for treatment again as soon as possible, but I don't know how to do it properly."

"What to do? You don't need to do anything, because there are people who are more anxious than you. Why should you step forward first?"

A single word can be a wake-up call. That's right. Those high-ranking members of the beast race, especially those who are pro-beast king, will definitely rush to demand that Lin Xueyin receive treatment as soon as possible after hearing the news of her awakening. There's no need for me to be in a hurry. I just need to stir things up a little from the sidelines.

"That's right, I'll immediately order people to spread the word that Lin Xueyin has awakened, so that..."

"You'll definitely be in trouble if you do that."

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. Cthulhu looked at the man in front of him, somewhat puzzled, wondering why he would say that.

"Is it not even allowed to spread the news that Lin Xueyin has woken up?"

"Of course, you don't need to publicize it. Now, all you need to do is slowly talk about these things with people you know. Don't give anyone the feeling that you are in a hurry or that you are putting pressure on Lin Xueyin."

She frowned slightly, but the next second she understood what he meant. She had been too hasty. The eldest prince, who had been wronged, would probably spread the news to vent his anger, and she could just wait in the background to reap the rewards.

What on earth happened yesterday? A reader actually threw 25 razor blades at me! Is everything this scary now? What did the poor author do? (o'?ェ?｀o)
