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

"Of course, the Feather Clan considers themselves the chosen ones of heaven, so how could they possibly believe in those gods? However, this time we discovered that they have actually begun to believe in gods."

Lin Xueyin frowned slightly, realizing that something was amiss. However, being a member of the Feather Clan, she had no way to investigate and could only shrug helplessly.

However, the thought of those statues made Lin Xueyin feel a faint unease.

"Yukine, has something come to mind?"

After seeing off Flamebringer Bronzebeard with Lin Xueyin, Orichils returned to his room and immediately asked.

"Um, I didn't think of anything about that."

"Little girl, don't you know you're not suited to lying?" Orichalcos gently pinched the girl's nose, his doting smile making Lin Xueyin even more at a loss for words.

At least, Lin Xueyin chose to remain silent about the fact that she owned a statue, as it was not appropriate to talk about it with others.

Seeing that Lin Xueyin simply said she hadn't thought of it, Orichalcos could do nothing but shrug and hug her.

"Little girl, tell me if anything happens. It's not good to put all the burden on one person."

“Hmm, Orichils, I think we should leave now. I’m a little worried about the situation of the Feather Clan.”

"If you're worried, let's stay here a few more days. There's nothing urgent."

She simply shook her head silently. Thinking of the strange behavior of the clan leader, Lin Xueyin couldn't help but wonder what kind of conspiracy was behind it. She felt that some of the queen's actions were not as holy as they seemed.

"Orichils, let's leave first. I'm worried about my two little girls."

The constant intrigue and backstabbing outside had left the young woman feeling emotionally exhausted. She wished Nana were by her side so she could discuss things with her and find comfort in a loving embrace.

Now, I can only look for those two little girls, but holding those soft little girls feels pretty good too.

"Okay, then I'll prepare properly and leave tomorrow."

“No, Orichils, we’re not waiting until tomorrow. We’re leaving now. We can’t afford to waste any more time.”

Lin Xueyin suddenly felt a tremor in her heart, as if she had been targeted by something. Unable to suppress her panic, she could only choose to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

"So eager?"

"That's how urgent it is. Let's pack together and leave as soon as possible."

As she spoke, Lin Xueyin packed all her belongings with Orichils, and even bid farewell to the Black Iron Clan members, including Flame Bronzebeard, before hurrying through the streets of Sky Domain City towards the city gate.

After Flame Copperbeard left, he did not return to his residence. If Lin Xueyin had followed him, she would have found that he had come to the same small building that Star God Tear had brought her to before.

"I said, does it really have to be this way? I feel a little guilty about lying to that little girl like this."

“You know, this is a very turbulent time. We can’t afford to gamble. If the other side uses her as leverage, we’ll really be out of options.”

Flamebringer Bronzebeard paused for a moment, then looked at Star God's Tear, "You made sure she wouldn't get hurt, and you know, she saved my life."

"Of course I know, that's why I had you go and say those things to her, and then force her to leave on her own. As long as she leaves Tianyu City, she will naturally be fine."

"Hmm? I remember you've already declared a citywide curfew, right? Isn't it a bit unsafe for Yukine and the others to be walking around outside like this?"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I've made full preparations, so naturally I won't let her have any problems."

Thinking of the arrangements she had made, Xing Shen Lei's eyes softened, revealing a gentler side that, combined with her previous aloofness, made her even more captivating.

Flame Bronzebeard shuddered as if he had been electrocuted, lowering his head and not daring to look at the woman who possessed a holy aura yet was impossible to look away from.

"Now that you've said so, I'm relieved. I'll go ahead and you can make the arrangements as soon as possible."

"Yes, don't worry, it will be over soon."

Watching the Dwarf King's departing figure, Star Goddess Tears breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, she felt a little reluctant to part with that little girl, but what was about to happen was beyond her control.

"Clan leader, do we really have to do this? That woman named Lin Xueyin isn't very important to us, but if she were here, we could reduce our losses considerably."

“I understand. However, I have already tested her and found that she is very resistant to our relationship. There is no need to create unnecessary trouble at this time. If something goes wrong, we will also be held responsible.”

Of course, there are some things I haven't mentioned yet. That is, Ronnacros's previous words and actions made her have to re-evaluate this little girl. At least until she can be sure that she has no connection with the demons, it's best not to let her get involved.

Volume VI: The Rebellion of Pankor: Chapter 1: Maca

"Xueyin, where are you going?"

The speaker was not Orichils, but Maca, a woman who claimed to be a princess of the Feather Clan. Her alluring and beautiful figure was nothing like the Star God Tear Clan Chief she had encountered before.

At first, Lin Xueyin didn't believe what the other party said at all. However, after encountering the winged warriors who were constantly patrolling, the courtesy she received gradually made Lin Xueyin believe what the other party said—that they had been ordered to escort her back to the human capital.

"Huh? What's wrong? Aren't we going back to the capital? Is this the wrong way to go?"

After a brief silence, a half-smile appeared on his lips, which made Lin Xueyin quite displeased.

"Tell me quickly, did I choose the wrong path?"

"The human capital is in the northeast, but you chose the southwest."

"I'm so sorry, I have no sense of direction," Lin Xueyin said angrily, turning around and walking in the opposite direction. "Don't you know the earth is round?"

"Hmm, what is Earth?"

Unable to exhale, Lin Xueyin angrily waved her cute little fist at the tactless woman, letting out an angry snort from her slightly parted pink lips.

"Even if this continent is round, there are still oceans around it. Without a ship, you can't get to the capital."

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

Stomping her foot angrily, Lin Xueyin strode quickly toward the northeast, grumbling indignantly as she went.

"Hmph, who told you to come along? I could have gone back to the capital by myself. Why did you come along? You're so annoying."

Orichils looked helplessly at the girl who was muttering to herself, and could only shrug at the winged princess before hurrying over to Lin Xueyin.

"You silly girl, you really don't appreciate my good intentions."

Maca quickly approached Lin Xueyin's side, looking at the girl who seemed completely oblivious to any danger.

"Where did you get this kindness from? I can't see it coming from."

"You can see it? What can you see?" The voice, seemingly bewitching and alluring, sounded grating to the angry girl's ears.

He gently stroked the tip of her delicate nose on her puffed-up cheek, causing her to extend her small, white paws like a little wildcat.

"Little girl, don't you know that the Elf race has already passed on all your abilities? Defeating the chieftain of the Nightmare Clan of the Demon Race is one thing, but don't you know how important the ability to resurrect the dead is to those powerful beings?"

With a snort, she turned her face to the side, her pouting lips uttering words that left Maca speechless and shaking her head.

"You know, no one can live forever, especially on this continent that has begun to fall into turmoil. The powerful are also very worried about their own deaths. If someone could resurrect the dead, what do you think they would do?"

What would they do? This question made Lin Xueyin gasp. That's right, at this moment, what they had to do was to keep her by their side. Only by being by their side could she guarantee that she wouldn't die.

Seeing that Lin Xueyin seemed to understand something, Maca continued, "What do you think those people would most want to do after they learned that you didn't want to cooperate with him and were leaving with him?"

"If it cannot be used by me, it cannot be used by the enemy either."

Seeing that the other party actually showed a smile that seemed to say "you're teachable," Lin Xueyin was startled and her whole body trembled. "Wait, I did it before, but why hasn't anyone come after me?"

Hearing Lin Xueyin's rebuttal, Maca couldn't help but roll her eyes at her. "You don't believe me when I say you're stupid. Let's not even talk about how your abilities weren't widely known before. You should know who you were following before."

"I was supposed to return to the Elven race with the main Elven army, then I followed the Fire Phoenix to the Black Iron race, and then I went to Sky City with them. What happened?"

"What's wrong? Putting aside the elves and dwarves, even the Fire Phoenix is ​​a well-known mercenary group among humans. Do you think anyone without some skill would dare to make a move under their protection?"

Well, she didn't know how to respond, but thinking about it, it seemed to make some sense, so Lin Xueyin could only nod helplessly.

"Your mother was worried that you would encounter danger if you returned to the human race alone, so she sent me to escort you back."

"Um, your mother sent you specifically to see me off? But she isn't..."

"Hmm? What is it?" Maca was a little puzzled. Did this girl have something going on with her mother? If so, why hadn't her mother told her?

She waved her hands repeatedly, saying it was nothing, nothing, and then Lin Xueyin prepared to walk forward.

"You just like to keep things to yourself. Why don't you just say what's on your mind?"

Looking at the girl, Orichils felt a pang of sympathy, but he didn't dwell on the matter any longer.

“Orichils, stop talking. Some things are better left unsaid. The more you know, the shorter your life may be.”

Orichalcos never expected to hear such words from this little girl, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Alright, since that's what you think, I won't ask any more questions. But if anything happens, be sure to tell me in advance. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

Lin Xueyin glanced at the maca on the side and, seeing that its attention was not on her, said softly, "I know, but Olihirs, be careful of that maca."

“Yes, I understand, you don’t need to worry.” Hearing Lin Xueyin’s whispered words in his ear, Orichalos nodded in agreement, gently placing his right hand on the girl’s long hair.

"Don't worry, little girl, I know what I'm doing. Just be careful yourself."

"Okay, I understand. I'll be fine."

Lin Xueyin knew her current worth, but unfortunately, she also understood that her current situation was not very good. Being the target of everyone's criticism might be a bit harsh, but it was also very apt.

“Little girl, let’s hurry up and go. There should be a human town ahead. Let’s go and rest for a while. Don’t worry, it won’t cost you any money. Mother gave me a lot of money and said that I will pay for all the expenses along the way.”

"Hey, this isn't a good idea."

Maca rolled her eyes at him, thinking to herself, "Could you please stop that obvious upturn at the corners of your lips before you refuse?"

Volume 6: Pankor's Rebellion: Chapter 2: Bandits? ??

Lin Xueyin and her two companions gradually entered the territory of the Xima Empire. The fact that they had been safe and sound along the way put them at ease.

"Hey? Have you noticed that there seem to be far fewer people here?"

Orichils looked at the deserted road and felt somewhat confused. Something seemed wrong. Although it wasn't exactly crowded before, there were quite a few pedestrians, but now it was so desolate.

"Yukine, be careful. I have a feeling something's up here."

"Hmm, I can see that now. It's unbelievable that this road is so desolate. I don't believe there's nothing wrong with it." Lin Xueyin stared intently at the deserted road and the obviously desolate sides, which had probably been like this for a long time.

Maca seemed to sense something, her eyes fixed on the woods to the side. "Who goes there? Come out."

Orichils also noticed the commotion and turned his gaze to the side. In an instant, he nocked his bow and fired several arrows into the woods with lightning speed.

With several screams, a group of men wielding "weapons" emerged tremblingly from the woods.

Looking at the men carrying hoes and other farm tools, Lin Xueyin scratched her head. "You'd think they were bandits, but they don't look like bandits at all. They're skin and bones; they're not what you'd expect from bandits."

To say it isn't, that's not quite right either. At the very least, if these guys blocking people's way isn't robbery, then what is it?
