After being locked up in separate rooms, a variety of food was placed in front of them on large trays, along with threats of punishment if they did not finish their meals. Initially, Chang Long tried the orc food and found it quite delicious. She continued eating heartily, much to the delight of the beautiful orc women responsible for fattening up the captured women.

"It's time to take them to meet our king!"

Announced an orc warrior who entered the hut. The beautiful orc women batted their eyelashes at him, making the warrior blush slightly and leave quickly. Chang Long could not help but laugh at their antics.

"Hahaha. You guys look so tough, but what's with the blushing!"

"Take them outside. Our king wants to have lunch with them!"

Ordered a fierce-looking, smiling orc woman, who outranked the beautiful orc women in both level and the orc-specific standard of beauty. They led the female players and NPCs outside the hut.

"We just ate..."

Chang Long grumbled, feeling full from the food she had only half-finished.

"Stop complaining and move!"

One of the orc women pushed Chang Long to follow the others. The look she gave her suggested that she found the women unacceptably ugly. Chang Long was left speechless.

"Just look at them... thinking they're so beautiful. Hippos!"

Chang Long muttered softly, not wanting to get slapped flat on the wall by the orc woman. She quickly followed the female player in front of her.

"Level 100 Orc Warlord Beast King appears,"

the system announced as Chang Long and the other captured women stood in a line, staring in awe at the Orc King. Not only was his level high, but his appearance was quite impressive. He was tall and well-proportioned like a warrior, with muscular arms and a defined six-pack that was not overly bulky. His rough green skin was characteristic of his race. He might have been considered handsome if not for his protruding lower jaw and the long white tusks pressing against his upper lip.

The orc women bowed in respect and began to flirt with the young orc king as much as they could, fluttering their colorful eyelashes, likely made from bird feathers. Chang Long had to stifle her laughter, fearing that the orc women might beat her up. The orc king surveyed the area with an authoritative gaze, shaking his head when he saw the frail female players. None of them seemed suitable to be his bride. Even though the orc women in the camp had the body type appreciated by orcs, their makeup skills still needed a lot of improvement.

"Sigh!"

The orc king sighed in frustration. Finding a suitable bride was proving to be a daunting task. However, his eyes became fixed on one woman. She was slender and taller than the others, with a mischievous and curious expression of a child. Her demeanor indicated she was not an ordinary human. Despite not fitting the orc ideal of beauty and seeming hard to approach, the orc king found himself unable to look away from her without knowing why.

Chang Long, who was quietly chuckling at the disappointed expressions of the orc women after being ignored by the Orc King, watched as they vented their frustration on the captured female players. They roughly dragged and shoved the players, hitting them as they led them to the farthest table from their king. Realizing she was being watched, Chang Long turned to meet the gaze, causing the Orc King to blush in surprise, though he maintained his composed demeanor.

"No! Have her sit close to me!"

The Orc King quickly commanded when he saw one of the orc women dragging Chang Long to a table far away from him.

The entire camp fell silent. Everyone turned to look at Chang Long. Even she was stunned, her mouth agape, as she watched the Orc King approach and courteously invite her to sit beside him in a manner so polite it was almost unbelievable. The other women sighed with relief, knowing they were spared from being chosen, except for the orc women in the camp, who seemed to be boiling with anger at the sight.

The Orc King catered to Chang Long's every need, serving her food and speaking to her with such respect and courtesy that it was hard to believe a creature known for its brutality could act this way. Chang Long observed an orc warrior sitting nearby, blushing as he was pampered by the orc women, which only made her more surprised.

Lunch continued with an endless stream of food being served. The Orc King kept adding more food to Chang Long's plate, not noticing that it remained almost untouched. Eventually, Chang Long could only stare at the food in front of her, feeling nothing but nausea. The Orc King, noticing that the food in her large plate was not decreasing, asked with deep concern that made goosebumps spread all over Chang Long.

"What's wrong, my beloved? Is the food not to your liking?"

"Huh! My beloved? Are you talking to me?!"

Chang Long repeated, her expression stunned and feeling even more nauseous.

"Yes, from now on, you are my beloved. You will be the queen of all the orcs in this forest. Aren't you happy, my beloved!"

The Orc King nodded firmly, clearly proud of his position and assuming that Chang Long would be thrilled to become his queen. But when he looked at her with hopeful eyes, expecting to see joy, admiration, and love, he was instead met with Chang Long's shocked face.

"Uh... well... it sounds nice,"

Chang Long replied, fearing that remaining silent might anger the Orc King.

"Yes! Exactly! But you're still too skinny. Looking so sickly, the women in our tribe will mock you. So, you must eat more to become as well-proportioned as the women in our tribe,"

the Orc King responded cheerfully, not minding Chang Long's shocked silence. He assumed she was simply too excited to become his bride.

"Well-proportioned, like a bloated hippo. That's their idea of beauty..."

Chang Long muttered quietly, horrified at the thought of becoming a giant, plump woman admired by orc men. What kind of beauty standard was this?

"What did you say, my beloved?"

The Orc King asked, having missed her earlier comment in his self-satisfaction.

"Uh... I can't eat anymore. My stomach is about to burst!"

Chang Long shook her head. The other female players, brought along and force-fed to the point of nausea, felt the same way but were unable to satisfy the orcs.

"Blasphemy! How dare she defy our king!"

A fierce orc woman shouted angrily, angered by Chang Long's outrageous words to the handsome Orc King, the orc of her and many orc women's dreams.

"You! Leave at once. Don't scare my beloved! My dear, you need to eat more. You must gain a lot of weight before our wedding day,"

the Orc King bellowed at the fierce orc woman, causing her to recoil in shock. He then turned back to Chang Long, speaking to her with stark gentleness that it made everyone shiver.

The Orc King tried to persuade Chang Long to eat more, but she could only shake her head and turn away, unable to force anything more into her already full stomach. Finally, she stood up and walked away from the table abruptly, unable to stand the sight or smell of the food any longer, leaving everyone at the table in stunned silence.

"She's brave, defying death like that!"

The priestess whispered, almost wanting to stand up and applaud Chang Long for daring to defy the Orc King in front of his followers.

"My beloved!"

The Orc King called out, starting to follow Chang Long, his concern evident.

"Stop it! I can't take it anymore. I'm about to throw up! I'm a person, not a hippo to eat so much!"

Chang Long snapped irritably. She decided that there was nothing more of interest in the orc camp and that it was time to leave before she was forced into marriage with the Orc King. She stormed towards the prisoner cage, causing the orc warriors to quickly block her path.

"My beloved, what are you doing?"

The Orc King asked, his voice growing slightly firmer.

"Let my people go, and then leave,"

Chang Long responded nonchalantly.

"I can't let you go, my beloved, because you are soon to be my bride,"

the Orc King said, standing directly in front of Chang Long. Though his tone was firm, his eyes showed a hint of pain, as if experiencing love for the first time and fearing heartbreak.

"No! I won't be your bride!"

Chang Long replied without hesitation, causing the orcs around her to seethe with anger at her rejection of their king.

"Why? What's wrong with being my queen? Many women desire this position. Why do you reject me so!?"

The Orc King asked in confusion, noting how even now, some orc women were still trying to flutter their fake eyelashes to flirt with him.

"The women you're talking about? Those hippo-like ones behind you? No, thank you!"

Chang Long replied, almost making the captive players, both female and those locked up in wooden cage laugh out loud.

"If that's your answer, then I have no choice. Seize her!"

The Orc King commanded loudly. The orc warriors, beautiful orc women, and fierce orc women immediately rushed toward Chang Long. The orc women, already holding a grudge, charged at her even faster than the sleek orc warriors, who could only scratch their heads in embarrassment.

"I refuse to be tortured like this again. Devi-chan, Spirit Possession!"

Chang Long shouted angrily. She called for Devi-chan to possess her, and the chilling aura of his possession spread around her, causing the orcs to halt in shock. A dark aura began to form, taking the shape of a man in a cloak holding a long, sharp scythe, with a mysteriously chilling, cold expression.

"Spirit Incarnation!"

And that was not all, Chang Long then used Devi-chan's unique skill, summoning Hisa-chan in his physical form to join the fight. She intended to eradicate the orc camp that tortured prisoners by force-feeding them.

"My beloved, what has happened to you?"

The Orc King asked, stunned. His beloved had suddenly changed into another person. She looked so terrifying and formidable that even his followers dared not approach her recklessly. The two men who had appeared beside her from nowhere exuded an aura of danger he could sense clearly.

"Beloved, beloved, it's so annoying. Look here, this is my beloved. If you can defeat him, then we'll talk!"

Chang Long shouted at the Orc King, feeling nauseated and furious, wanting to get rid of the orcs immediately.

The Orc King turned to Hisa-chan with a murderous glare and charged at him. The young samurai merely smiled, preparing to defend against the attack without much concern, as their levels were vastly different. Chang Long turned her cold gaze toward the Orc King's followers.

"If you don't want to die, run away now."

Her words seemed to insult the warriors' pride. The orc warriors roared in anger and charged at Chang Long, ready to fight to the death without any fear.

"What should we do, boss?"

Kimhant turned to ask Kitsune, who was lounging in the cage with a relaxed demeanor. None of the other creatures dared to challenge him. The three male players, initially looking for trouble, now watched him with respect and caution, not daring to move an inch without inspecting his expression first.

"It looks like things might get tough out there. I think I'll go help master!"

Kitsune replied. The three male players turned to look at Kitsune in unison, surprised. Although the cage was made of wood, it was sturdy and difficult to break.

"How are we going to get out?"

Kimhant asked, puzzled.

"It's not that hard. These ropes are strong, but what if I do this?"

Kitsune smiled and looked at the large ropes binding the wooden beams together to form the cage. Suddenly, flames erupted from his palm. Calmly, Kitsune touched each knot with his flaming hand. Kimhant and the three male players watched in awe. They had seen mages used fire magic in many forms before, but never someone who could use it without chanting a spell.

"You can control the fire in this form now?"

Kimhant asked excitedly.

"Not entirely. I can summon it without having to breathe it out, but I can't control it to attack precisely as I wish. It takes a lot more energy to do it this way than to breathe it out in the usual manner,"

Kitsune explained as he continued burning through the knots, ensuring they would be able to crawl out before the cage would collapse.
