Chapter 190: The Holy Daughter Who Beats People Up Anytime, Anywhere

Chapter 190: Chapter 190: The Holy Daughter Who Beats People Up Anytime, Anywhere

The group, who had originally planned to return to their respective rooms to rest, all stayed behind after hearing Liang He’s suspenseful words, entirely to satisfy their curiosity.

Ignoring Yin Qi’s WHIMPERING, Liang He returned to the animal dormitories. Under the watchful eyes of the fluffballs, she headed to the storage room and rummaged around for quite a while before returning to the medical room.

As she passed by the fluffballs, she casually pet them, comfortingly telling them that she would be right back.

"Liang He, what is this?" Silver Shuttle asked, his face full of curiosity as he pointed at the item in her hand. His question echoed exactly what everyone else wanted to know.

"It’s an audio player."

She had specifically prepared it the first time she left the reserve, which was when she went to rescue the Mengji Snow Leopard.

To prevent the fluffballs from feeling unaccustomed or unhappy, Liang He had specially recorded some audio stories to play on loop. This way, the animals could wait for her return at the service area with peace of mind.

"It contains bedtime stories I recorded. It should help Yin Qi feel a bit more at ease."

Liang He placed the audio player on a high shelf in the medical room and pressed play. Her clear, gentle voice instantly filled the room.

"Be a good boy, Yin Qi. You can’t touch this audio player, okay? I’ll come see you again tomorrow."

Seeing Yin Qi curiously reaching out with his paw to touch the device, Liang He specifically warned him not to mess with it.

Upon hearing this, Yin Qi actually obediently retracted his paw. Sitting quietly in place, he looked just like a large, well-behaved dog expecting praise.

"My goodness, Yin Qi actually has moments where he’s this well-behaved?" Silver Shuttle was completely stunned.

To prevent anyone from accidentally slipping up, Silver Feather had taken the opportunity while Liang He was away to specifically instruct them to unify how they addressed Yin Qi—simply calling him by his name would suffice.

"So cute..."

Silver Feather suddenly recalled that when Yin Qi was much younger, he would also have such adorable moments.

Especially when he accidentally made a mistake; to beg for forgiveness or avoid punishment, he would pretend to be perfectly well-behaved. Like a soft, squishy little dumpling, he had been incredibly endearing.

Unfortunately, once Yin Qi grew a bit older and understood the duties and meaning behind being the Divine Son, it was as if he had grown up in an instant. He became rigid and meticulous, completely losing the lively agility of his childhood.

"Why does Yin Qi trust Miss Liang He so much? Even her voice can comfort him."

Compared to Silver Feather and Silver Shuttle, Silver Li was more curious about what exact abilities Liang He possessed to earn such special treatment from Yin Qi. Why couldn’t he see it?

"Why think so much about it? In short, Liang He won’t harm him."

It wasn’t about how formidable Liang He was—even Silver Feather had been won over—but rather that she trusted her own judgment.

"From now on, you must respect Liang He just as you respect me. Help out wherever needed, understand?" Changing the subject, Silver Feather issued a command to Silver Li and the others in her capacity as the Holy Daughter.

"Yes!"

Having just pet the well-behaved "large dog" for a while, Liang He walked out of the medical room, only to be unexpectedly met with the loud response from Silver Li and the others. She froze in her tracks.

Seeing this, Silver Shuttle hurriedly poked Silver Feather’s elbow.

Silver Feather subconsciously turned her head. Thinking Silver Shuttle was just causing trouble, she wanted to glare at him, but he signaled for her to look behind. Only then did she realize that Silver Li and the others seemed to have startled Liang He.

"Little He, I’m sorry. Their voices are too loud. I’ll go educate them!"

After saying that, Silver Feather quickly shoved Silver Li and the others away, scolding them as they walked.

"Who told you to be so loud? Don’t you know it’s the middle of the night? If you scare Liang He or any of the other people and animals, see if I don’t beat you!"

Silver Li and the others felt incredibly wronged by the scolding. They were clearly just speaking normally; it was just that their combined voices seemed a bit loud. How did that warrant a beating?

"Holy Daughter, we know we were wrong. We will definitely speak quietly from now on and will absolutely not scare Miss Liang He and the others."

However, with Silver Feather’s immense authority as the Holy Daughter, Silver Li and the others didn’t dare to retort. They could only obediently apologize and swear that they would learn to speak softly in the future before Silver Feather finally let them off.

"Ah Ling, I’ll head back to the dorms first. You guys should go back to your rooms and rest early, too."

Having properly settled Yin Qi, Liang He was still thinking about the fluffballs waiting in the dormitory to sleep with her. Her mind was entirely set on getting back as soon as possible.

As for why she had frozen earlier, it wasn’t because she was scared. She just felt that the scene was... a bit too theatrical.

"Okay, okay! Little He, hurry up and rest. You’ve worked hard today!"

Liang He had been busy from morning to night, watching over the Iron-eating Beast around the clock. Silver Feather was afraid her body wouldn’t be able to take it. If it hadn’t been for Yin Qi, she would never have borne to delay Liang He’s rest time.

After bidding everyone good night, Liang He had Hoder help move the Iron-eating Beast onto the large bed.

"Why do I feel like Xuan Jiao’s condition seems a bit better than the past two days?"

To allow the fluffballs to get a good night’s sleep without having to wrongfully crowd around the small single room where Xuan Jiao was staying, Xu Yi had conducted an evaluation. After confirming it was safe, they were allowed to share the same bed as before.

However, instead of his usual corner, Xuan Jiao was unhesitatingly placed in the center, occupying the spot closest to Liang He.

None of the other fluffballs had any objections to this. Compared to the meager attention they had been making do with over the past two days, this was already a vast improvement. Besides, they knew Xuan Jiao was sick, and it was perfectly normal for a sick animal to receive preferential treatment.

"Xu Yi said that Jiao Jiao’s coma has started to shift from deep to moderate."

Watching the Iron-eating Beast WHIMPER softly during the move, looking just like a little baby, Liang He gently stroked his brow. However, a dark glint flashed in her eyes.

"Has the person who poisoned him still not been found?"

"Not yet."

Speaking of this matter, Hoder was also filled with helplessness and anger. The poisoner was too cunning, knowing how to use the natural environment and the animals’ living traces to cover their tracks. This left the Law Enforcement Team with no way to investigate.

"Perhaps... we could ask Cedriel and the others for help."

Liang He suddenly mentioning the Mojin King Tiger and the rest made Hoder pause for a moment. But he quickly recalled the time the Platinum Giant Lion, the Elephant Group, and the Bear Bee Swarm had helped search for the Little Elephant.

"You mean..."

"There are some scents that humans might not be able to distinguish, but animals can."

If the scents of all the animals were excluded, leaving only the scent of humans, it might aid the investigation.

"But back when we were saving the unconscious animals, most of the people were mobilized and lingered near the water source. Won’t that have an impact?"

If fewer people had participated in the previous rescue, this method might have been feasible. But with so many people, the scents were mixed up.

It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in the abilities of the Mojin King Tiger and the others; he just felt it was asking a bit too much of them.

"The Federation previously had a military dog division that helped a lot when tracking the Rebel Army stationed on the Sky Shining Star. Even with professional training, they couldn’t pull off a search of this difficulty."

Hoder’s words made sense, and Liang He didn’t deny them. However, she felt they could afford to be a bit bolder.

Especially during her search and rescue of the Little Elephant on the Greenfield Star, she seemed to have figured out something new regarding certain matters.

"Have you ever thought that the person who planted the poison might avoid humans, but wouldn’t intentionally avoid animals?"
