Chapter 75 - A Run In With An Orc

Sweat dripped from Shen Xia's brow as she jogged at a slowing pace. She had already run ten laps, but the weight on her legs and wrist were getting heavier by the second. Luckily she had the support of two demons at her side who were egging her on. "Come on, Xiaxia, you can do it!"

"Yeah, Xiaxia, once you get used to nine kilos, we will up it to fifteen!" Lilith said with a bright smile. Both Quan Xinya and Lilith were also wearing weights, the same weight as Shen Xia, but they were both abnormal in Shen Xia's eyes. Yes, she was stronger than normal humans, but this was still a lot of extra weight! Nine extra kilos each on both wrist and ankles was just… Shen Xia wanted to cry, and when she heard Lilith's comment, she wanted to cry even more.

"Lilith, remind me to bite you later!" Shen Xia cried as she gritted her teeth and kept going. 

General Ning, who was watching the students as they ran, eyes kept falling on Shen Xia. Her beauty kept attracting his attention. But what surprised him was that as she ran, he saw weights on her wrist! This made his opinion of Shen Xia grow even more. "Maybe I should bring her back to the Ning Clan and make her my wife..." 

Thirty laps later, Shen Xia fell on her back, panting hard. This was about five times the distance from her home and school. "Lilith, are you sure you are not a demon?"

Lilith let out a laugh as she said: "I am just getting you ready for the future, Xiaxia. When you move to the capital, you will be facing much worse than this."

"I know..." Shen Xia knew all this already, but she just wanted to complain!  Under her illusion, Shen Xia's ears perked up when she heard footsteps walking towards her. She turned and looked to see General Ning walking over to her. Her nose wrinkled because she could smell a strange scent coming off this guy. It made her feel sick. 

"You girls are amazing, wearing weights while running." General Ning only now realized the four girls here were all wearing weights. While two were standing feeling fine, two were on the ground sweating. "Such dedication is really good."

Lilith was not blind to the look General Ning was giving Shen Xia. She slowly stepped in front of Shen Xia as she gazed at the hand man in front of her. "We are all on a special training regimen and wear these weights all day." 

Seeing his vision of Shen Xia was blocked caused General Ning to frown slightly but only for a split second as he looked at the fiery red hair of the girl in front of him. When he took a second look, he realized this girl was very pretty too but still not able to compare to Shen Xia. "Special training? What could girls like you be training for?"

"Not to die," Lilith said coldly as she took a step forward. She could smell a disgusting scent coming off this man. She looked at General Ning with cold eyes and whispered: "Orcs should know their place."

General Ning's expression turned bad as he looked at Lilith. "Humph! So you are not normal either. But what can a little girl do to me?" After saying this, he clapped his hands as he said: "Get ready for pushup! Since you four were last, you will do an extra ten sets."

Lilith was about to attack the stupid man when she heard a voice call out to her. "Lilith!" 

Hearing Shen Xia's voice Lilith could only grit her teeth and turn around and look at Shen Xia with an apologetic expression. "Xiaxia, because of me, we are now doing extra push ups..."

"It's fine. I am just glad that the disgusting scent is gone. He's not human, is he?" Shen Xia asked.

"He's an orc. I didn't realize it until he started using his pheromones to entice us." Lilith frowned. She hated orcs more than anything. They only thought about how to get a woman in bed and try to impregnate them. 

"But where not elves..." Shen Xia only knew orcs as pig faced men who chased after elves.

"Pfft! Xiaxia!" Lilith burst out laughing. "You know orcs only go after elves because they are beautiful. They will chase after any girl that fits their taste. There are even orcs who chase after goblins even though they are all male. It just so happens that this general seems to be fond of you. So we will need to be careful. Xiaxia, you are not to be alone until we get home, okay? Orcs are strong. This orc may seem weak at first look, but I can tell he is strong."

"Gah! Is that why for a few minutes, I couldn't stop staring at him? He was using some kind of scent to suck me in!? I didn't smell anything at all!  I want to kill him!" Quan Xinya finally snapped out of her daze. She had blanked out when General Ning walked over. Now she just wished to kill him! 

"How come it didn't affect me? I only thought he was a creepy old man." Dai Na pursed her lips. She was starting to feel that maybe she was too ugly for even an orc.

"Nana, it's because you are my servant. You will not be affected by anything I am not affected by." Lilith could read Dai Na's thoughts. She walked over, leaned down, and cupped the girl's cheek. "You are plenty pretty enough, so do not think you are not."

Dai Na blushed and nodded her head. Since her master said so, she would not think she was ugly anymore. Seeing Dai Na nod, Lilith smiled and stood back up. "But we will need to come up with some countermeasures for Xinya. I am sure he has already discovered who was under his enchantment and who was not.. I have already informed master and he said he will send someone over with an item that should help so for now Xinya and Xiaxia, you both need to stick to me and Nana like glue."
