Chapter 13: Silly-Sweet Tiger VS Green Tea Eagle, Defeat!

Regarding the evolutionary period of SSS-class orcs, it occurs between three to five years after reaching adulthood. They enter their beast forms at irregular intervals until the evolution of their beast-form spiritual bodies is complete.

Therefore, in a sense, even battle-hardened veterans like Cedric and Landon are actually only in their early twenties.

At first, Landon's father thought his son was genuinely pursuing a girl and intended to advise him to treat her with sincerity; he never expected to learn a truth that would shock him even more.

"So... that keeper named Liang He can approach orcs even when they have transformed into ferocious beasts?"

"That is correct. I am currently organizing Landon's records from the past few days and will send them to the parents' group shortly."

Hoan had been preparing the relevant materials for a while, but the unexpected incident on the Star Network had caused a delay. He quickly sent the data to Landon's exclusive parents' group and also forwarded a copy to Cedric's parents' group.

【Hoan: Please ensure strict confidentiality. Thank you.】

【Landon's Father: Received!】

Landon's father was a retired orc. His talent was not as high as Landon's, so he had never experienced an evolutionary period. It was precisely because of this lack of understanding that he was even more worried.

When he learned that orcs in their evolutionary period would become unrecognizable to their kin, refuse human proximity and feeding, and become unable to accept medical treatment after transforming, he was filled with anxiety. This was why he had agreed to send the transformed Landon to the Tianyao Star Forest Reserve for centralized protection.

However, looking at it now, he had made the most correct decision!

"That's wonderful! My son finally has someone he can rely on."

Landon's mother was an ordinary human. Watching the video of Landon being well-cared for by Liang He, she wept with joy, constantly wiping away her tears.

"This keeper named Liang He might just be the salvation for all SSS-class orcs. I expect the Federation will soon summon us for a secret meeting."

Compared to his wife, Landon's father had a more far-reaching perspective. He thought of his friend's child, who also seemed to be approaching the evolutionary period and was currently worrying about it.

Meanwhile, the carefree Liang He and the others were happily playing volleyball.

"Awoo!"

Just as Liang He had predicted, every time Landon flapped his large wings, he sent the ball flying accurately, making Cedric so angry that he began catching the ball with his mouth.

"Pfft~ Cedric, that's a foul."

Liang He chuckled and pinched the fluffy ear of the Ink-Gold King Tiger. She said it, but she wasn't being serious; after all, they were two beasts—how could they truly understand the rules?

"Awoo?"

Having his ear pinched, Cedric foolishly released his grip, tilted his head, blinked his golden eyes innocently, and nuzzled Liang He's neck in an attempt to please her.

Seeing this, Landon, who was already dissatisfied with being on the same team as Xu Yi, immediately flew over from the opposite side, his eagle beak pecking directly at the tiger's head.

"Skree!"

"Awoo!"

"Skree!"

The two beasts descended into chaos, abandoning the volleyball to fight for victory by trying to pluck each other's fur.

"Oh dear, stop messing around!"

Seeing that things were about to spiral out of control, Liang He had a sudden idea and tossed the volleyball far away.

"Whoever picks up the ball first, I'll brush your fur tonight!"

Successfully distracted, the Ink-Gold King Tiger and the Azure Hunter Falcon instantly released each other's claws and teeth and raced toward the volleyball.

They couldn't actually understand what Liang He was saying, but because it was Liang He, they were both willing to cooperate just to make her happy.

"Awoo!"

"Skree!"

The Azure Hunter Falcon flew extremely fast, but his beak simply couldn't grip the volleyball.

The Ink-Gold King Tiger, arriving a step later, opened his jaws and easily claimed it, which made the Azure Hunter Falcon very unhappy.

"Skree~"

Taking advantage of his flight, Landon flew back to Liang He's side in a sulky manner, nuzzling her small head and softly complaining about his grievances.

"Alright, alright, it's all Big Sister's fault. I shouldn't have used such a big ball. Big Sister apologizes to Landon, okay?"

Liang He reached out to pat Landon's little head and smooth his fur. At that moment, Cedric also rushed back. Seeing this scene, he flew into a rage, released his grip, and began brawling with Landon again.

Watching the chaotic, no—the "flying eagle and leaping tiger" dramatic scene, Liang He felt mentally exhausted.

In the end, she could only grab Cedric's ear with one hand and Landon's wing with the other, dragging the two beasts directly back to the service area.

"Haha, I'm dying of laughter. The Marshal and the Commander are too funny. It really takes Liang He to keep them in check."

"I suddenly feel like the Commander has a bit of a 'green tea' personality. The silly Marshal is definitely at a disadvantage."

"Luckily the 'Love Pursuit Mission' was fake, otherwise Cedric would have lost miserably; he's no match for the scheming Lord Landon."

They had seen such playful scenes quite often over the past few days, but every time they saw it, they still found it novel and interesting. It even made their work feel less boring.

After returning to the service area, Liang He checked their wounds again. Fortunately, they had been somewhat careful with their strength. After applying medicine, she began preparing dinner.

Xu Yi had already left due to work. Liang He prepared the food for Cedric and Landon separately, sliced it, and served it before them.

"Why is Liang He applying medicine right in front of Cedric and Landon?!"

A gasp came from the control room. Under the dual surveillance of a tiger and an eagle, Liang He directly put the medicine prepared by Xu Yi into their food bowls, while also adding some nutritional supplements and fur-beautifying additives.

"Won't Lord Cedric and Lord Landon refuse to eat it like that? They don't trust humans to begin with and are unwilling to eat food provided by humans."

"Liang He is getting too bold. Who feeds them like that? Does she really think they're fools?"

"It's over, it's over. The Marshal and the Commander definitely won't want to eat Liang He's food anymore; they'll be forced back into their original forms."

Compared to her colleagues' worries, Liang He was clearly much more composed. In her view, the hearts of animals were as clear as mirrors; they knew exactly whether someone was being good or bad to them.

Sometimes, the more you try to hide things, the more sensitive beasts will sense something is wrong and refuse to eat. It was better to be open and straightforward like her; perhaps the effect would be better.

"Awoo?"

"Skree?"

Just as Liang He expected, when Cedric and Landon saw her sprinkling several kinds of powders, they didn't stop her or leave; they simply watched her with curiosity.

"These are all things that are good for you. No picky eating allowed!"

After stirring the food bowls evenly, Liang He pushed them toward Cedric and Landon.

They first sniffed with their noses, then looked up at the smiling, kind-looking Liang He, and finally, they cautiously picked up a piece of meat and put it in their mouths.

As apex predators, they were exceptionally sensitive to danger signals, but because of that, they were also able to detect things that were beneficial to their bodies.

"Awoo!"

"Skree!"

Once they confirmed it was non-toxic and beneficial, the eagle and the tiger ate even more enthusiastically, leaving the staff in the control room stunned.

"To be honest, I feel like even if Liang He actually poisoned them right in front of their faces, they would probably still think she was doing it for their own good."

Liang He was always the most special. (Hehe. PS: The Commander's scheming is truly heavy; what a green-tea eagle.)
