The princess is missing.

"What are you guys doing?"

Just as several leopard-headed people were about to lay their hands on Wang Xiaole, a figure rushed over from the camp.

A burly orc general, wearing a cowhide armor and carrying a giant wolf tooth club, rode forward and entered the view of the people involved.

Ignoring Wang Xiaole for now:

Whether those things the other party wore or used had any suspicion of harming their own kind;

After guessing the other party's extraordinary identity, Wang Xiaole disguised himself as an innocent girl who had never seen the world, pretending to be afraid and covering his eyes.

This misleading move successfully deceived the orc general.

The general originally thought that those leopard-headed officers under his command were colluding with human spies in this dark place;

But then the general thought:

Do his men have the potential to be undercover agents? They don't even have the courage that matches an undercover agent.

The general looked at the two human girls in front of him and found that they were not carrying any weapons and appeared to be powerless.

So solely based on their outward appearance, the orc general slightly lowered his guard. After exchanging glances with the two girls, he basically ruled out the possibility of them being spies.

The general would never know:

Even something seemingly soft like a fan could take away fragile lives;

Even if it was two seemingly weak girls, it would be easy for them to bring him down...

Feeling at ease, the general put down the weapon he had just raised and faced the two directly with a less brutal expression.

"Where are you guys from?"

Seeing the opportunity to show themselves, the leopard-headed people didn't wait for Wang Xiaole to figure out how to deceive and spontaneously gathered around their superior.

Without the need for the "beauties" to explain, they preemptively said:

"These two human girls accidentally trespassed the border. They were originally trying to go to Dibiles and did not..."

"No need for you to tell me!"

The wolf tooth club was lifted by the general's strong wrist and hit the ground forcefully.

With a loud bang, the cyclone swept away by the wolf tooth club spread out, turning into a visible ripple and shaking the leopard-headed people who had gathered around.

Some of the leopard-headed people with extraordinary strength were already falling to the ground, upside down.

Taking care of his subordinates' face was not the immediate priority for the general. Right now, he just wanted to get answers from these two humans in front of him.

"Who are you guys?"

Lucia had seen the world and knew that the general in front of her was not as easily fooled as the previous fools. But that was a good thing.

Lucia was just thinking about how she hadn't shown herself properly in front of her beloved after eloping abroad, and now the opportunity presented itself.

It was Lucia's turn to play a role. She covered Wang Xiaole's figure and lifted the fan in front of the general;

With the opened fan facing inward, Lucia held the fan with one hand and the wrist of her other hand was struck by the turned down fan, creating a rhythmic sound.

"Report to the general: This humble lady used to live on the outskirts of the capital, with a courtyard and a tower at home, enjoying a joyful life.

But who knew that wicked woman (Isabella), she was rude and unreasonable, colluding with soldiers to disrespect the heavens, occupying my castle and taking my money.

I wanted to confront her, but she attacked me first.

My husband scolded her for bullying innocent people and almost got captured by her and defiled a hundred times, a hundred times..."

She drove my husband and me out of our home and we wandered to the border.

In order to feed my beloved, I joined hands with her to pick fruit in front of the tree;

Little did we know that this beast (referring to the Leopardman lying on the ground) was so treacherous, knowing about this situation and wanting to harm my husband and me in the camp.

The girl was skilled in martial arts, and she punched the beast in front of her, but sadly, it frightened my beloved, causing her soul to return to heaven;

This heart is even more unsettled, in order to protect our love, I had no choice but to ask for help from the military officer;

While seeking a cure, I also protected myself;

Since then, the two of us have relied on each other, and I will remember this grudge and never share the same sky with her (Isabella)!'

Dada, dundundun dada dun!

The sound of the fan hitting reached its climax and ended with a rhythm like strong percussion music;

Wang Xiaole was shocked and supported his chin with his hand, thinking:

It turns out that "those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black." After getting along with Sia for so long, her ability to cause trouble has become more and more powerful.

To summarize Lucia's nonsense just now in a "rap form", the general meaning is:

She and Wang Xiaole are a loving couple who had to leave their happy home because they were oppressed by the royal power;

When they finally got away from danger and arrived at a safe place, they happened to encounter a humanoid beast with evil intentions;

After she punched the opponent and protected Wang Xiaole, in order to ensure her beloved's safety, she sought help from several leopard-headed military officers.

The general probably understood what was being said, although he didn't know:

Why can two girls openly be together in the human kingdom?

But this didn't stop the general from starting to sympathize with the two of them.

From appearance alone, the orc general looked fierce, and others would become alert just by looking at him.

But he was really a good orc!

Because of his simple heart, the general believed the story of "seven parts fake, three parts true" and sincerely thought that the two humans in front of him were just poor people who were driven out of their homes.

"You've been through a lot..."

If it weren't for Lucia's made-up story, the general would definitely have temporarily imprisoned these two humans just to be safe.

But now, the orc general changed his mind, waved his dark arm, and urged Wang Xiaole:

"I'll take it as an act of kindness, as if I didn't see the humans crossing the border, now go."

The leopard-headed people beside him were anxious when they heard this.

They had finally encountered a black-haired beauty, how could they just watch her leave?

The leopard-headed people in a hurry gave all kinds of signals to the general;

However, their superiors, as if they didn't notice the hints from their subordinates, kept driving the two people who were not far away with stern eyes.

Wang Xiaole and Lucia were definitely happy to have the chance to escape.

The two thanked the orc general and glanced sideways at the reluctant leopard-headed people before departing.

Before leaving, Wang Xiaole was cautious.

He used a small stone from his shoe as a cover, crouched down and pressed one hand on the ground before he truly left the camp.

During the short time when he turned his back to the orc, Wang Xiaole quickly completed an incantation and arranged imperceptible magic patterns around the camp;

After finishing this, he held Lucia's hand and officially left.

The magic patterns he set up were a barrier that was difficult for the orcs to detect.

Because Wang Xiaole did not have ill intentions towards the orcs, the barrier he set up had no lethal effect; its only purpose was to "listen in".

Wang Xiaole had to be cautious, as he was unsure if the orc general's goodwill was genuine or just a facade.

What if the general was only polite on the surface and planned to gather his troops and wage war against outsiders once he left?

To discover the true intentions of the orcs, it was necessary for Wang Xiaole to continue "listening in" and find out their true motives.

Shortly after he and Lucia left the orc camp, the magic he had set up activated on its own, causing a nearly transparent halo to spread outwards.

The spreading halo encompassed the nearby orcs; their voices carried into Wang Xiaole's ears. The orc general was the first to speak:

"Regarding your slacking off during patrol, I won't pursue it for now. I only ask you one question: did you see the princess?"

Following this, the cries of the leopard-headed orcs filled the air:

"Boss, this isn't fair!"

"When we're on patrol, it's true that we approach girls, but we wouldn't dare go near the princess. How could we know her whereabouts?"

"Boss, just punish us directly instead of using these baseless reasons to nitpick."

After expressing their stance, the general became furious, almost on the verge of cursing loudly:

"Who's causing trouble? I said I won't pursue your flirting! I'm only asking if you saw the princess while on patrol!"

The leopard-headed orcs seemed to understand the general's seriousness and stopped complaining one by one, responding with a serious tone:

"Boss, what happened? The princess is really gone?"

"Nonsense! Do you think I would joke about this? According to the princess's maid, ever since she picked up a fat cat yesterday and started playing with it, she disappeared from the camp!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaole searched his memories:

The princess whom the general said had already "disappeared" was Wang's only daughter, who was even more important to him than the country itself.

If this princess had really run away or had been abducted, the entire orc Wang kingdom would be turned upside down in the near future...

On a psychological level, Wang Xiaole sympathized with the kingdom, but that was as far as it went.

After all, this was an internal matter of the orc Wang kingdom, and as a human, he had no intention of interfering or searching for the princess.

(Whisper) "There are many border troops to help find a princess. It's no big deal. Or maybe in a few hours, the princess will return on her own."

After successfully convincing himself, Wang Xiaole decided to forget about this matter.

At present, he was certain:

The general had no plans to pursue the incident of the foreign race crossing the border, and he wouldn't randomly wage war against any human country because of their intrusion with himself and Xiyuan.

With this weight lifted off his heart, Wang Xiaole ended his eavesdropping and decided to shift his thoughts away from the military camp.

As long as he didn't activate the barrier again, the orcs would never notice it, and he didn't need to worry about it anymore.

With his mind back on track, Wang Xiaole focused on figuring out how to return.

As they held hands and wandered near the border, a small figure was waiting not far away while they were with Lucia.
