Chapter 176 Displeasure
Yu keenly sensed Ruan Mianmian's discomfort. A hint of worry flashed in his eyes, and then he gently released a soft sonic wave into the cave.
The sound waves were like an invisible barrier, instantly enveloping the entire cave. The originally noisy orcs seemed to be under a spell, gradually ceasing their clamor, and the entire cave fell into a moment of silence.
Sen slowly stood up, his cold gaze sweeping over the dense mass of orcs, a hint of displeasure appearing on his face.
He frowned and said loudly, "Don't you know that such a loud noise will disturb the chief? We will carefully consider who to take to the deep forest. Now keep quiet!"
As soon as Sen finished speaking, every orc present felt as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water. They realized how reckless and rude their behavior had been, and that they had actually disturbed their leader.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, filled with regret.
Immediately afterwards, the orcs became obedient, like puppets that had suddenly lost their vitality.
They all lowered their heads and silently began to gnaw on the roasted meat in their hands, looking like frightened quails, no longer daring to make a sound.
Zhi stared intently at the crowd, the displeasure flashing in his eyes seeming to transform into a tangible blade, leaving a sharp mark in the crowd.
He thought to himself that the chief was too kind to his people. If he continued to indulge them like this, how could they develop the proper sense of awe?
Such reckless behavior must never happen again, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
After finishing speaking, Sen gently sat down next to Ruan Mianmian. His rough but powerful hands gently pressed Ruan Mianmian's head, as if to dispel the lingering oppressive feeling.
His movements revealed a rare gentleness, a stark contrast to his usual cold demeanor.
"Thank you, I feel much better."
Ruan Mianmian slightly raised the corners of her mouth and gave Sen a soft smile as warm as the spring sun.
That smile was like a blooming flower, instantly brightening the entire space, and even making the usually cold and ruthless orc Sen blush involuntarily.
He had never seen Ruan Mianmian like this before. Her delicate expression was completely different from the strong and decisive woman he knew, which stirred a ripple in his heart.
Ruan Mianmian stood up and quietly looked at the tribespeople below who had been noisy but had now become quiet, a strange feeling welling up in her heart.
She knew deeply the affection these people had for her; they were willing to protect her at all costs, and this kindness moved her deeply.
Therefore, she solemnly stated, "My main purpose in going to the deep forest is to excavate precious mineral veins. This is extremely important to me and may also benefit the future development of our tribe. Therefore, earth-type and strength-type ability users will be given priority in participating in this operation. As for the remaining guard arrangements, I believe that Sen and Yong, with their experience and abilities, will be able to make the most appropriate decisions. Thank you again for your concern and care. I will certainly live up to your expectations and return safely."
After saying this, she nodded slightly to the crowd, then turned and left, leaving behind a group of clansmen still lost in thought.
