Chapter 97 The Last Dignity

Seeing Abis standing with his head down, neither refutating nor speaking, completely devoid of his previous arrogance and venomous tongue, Gu Xi frowned even more tightly.

She was afraid that Abis was in heat and mentally unstable, just like the first time they met, so she quickly picked up the cubs and hid them behind her.

When an orc transforms into a half-beast, his perception of changes in the surrounding environment will be taken to a higher level.

Gu Xi's action of protecting the cubs behind him made Abis, who was lost in his own thoughts, suddenly look up and stare at Gu Xi.

It would be fine if Gu Xi didn’t like him, but she was actually worried that he would hurt the cubs?

In Gu Xi's heart, is he an orc who is inferior to the Zerg?

There was a deep sadness in Abis' eyes, which made Gu Xi stunned.

Is Abyss sad?

And...what's that in the corner of Abyss's eyes, tears?

She actually made Abis cry?

Gu Xi reviewed the conversation in her mind. When she thought about how Abiss asked her to be nicer to him, she felt that Abiss was not in his right mind...

But if he wasn't insane, why would Abyss say those words?

Gu Xi also felt a headache, so he could only soften his voice to explain: "Don't cry, I'm worried that you will be in heat and not sober, so I'm so wary of you."

"You know, we are irrational when we are in heat."

Seeing that Abis's face was still ugly, Gu Xi sighed and continued: "Okay, I'm sorry, my behavior just now caused you harm. It's my fault. I apologize to you."

Abis still didn't respond.

When Gu Xi almost thought that her apology was useless, something cold suddenly wrapped around her ankle.

The touch is somewhat familiar.

Gu Xi lowered his head and saw Abis's snake tail.

The tail of a snake becomes thinner towards the end, even in the half-orc state.

The snake's tail, which was as thick as two fingers, gently hooked Gu Xi's ankle and rubbed it twice.

Abis saw Gu Xi suddenly lower his head, and when he lowered his eyes, he found that the tail of his lower body had run to Gu Xi's ankles without him knowing when.

Not wanting to see the disgust in Gu Xi's eyes, Abis hurriedly retracted his tail and said coldly: "The tails of snake beastmen are not very controllable. There is a scientific explanation for this. If the Duke doesn't know, you can look up the information yourself."

Even though there was still tears in his eyes, Abis, who had quickly put away all his previous thoughts, raised his chin high and pretended not to care.

"I just cried because I thought of some unhappy things. It has nothing to do with Duke Gu." The snake beastman had a stern look on his face, with his tail tucked behind him, controlling his lower body to twist forward.

When he passed by Gu Xi, he said again: "I will go to the hospital for testing immediately. After the report comes out, please ask the Duke to remove the mark for me."

After saying that, he paused.

Seeing that Gu Xi didn't react, which seemed to be his consent, the interstellar admiral, with his aura fully open, still wearing a military uniform on his upper body and a black snake tail on his lower body, walked out of the room quickly with a cold face.

He wanted to maintain his final dignity and leave on his own, rather than watching Gu Xi turn around and walk away.

In this way, he would give up Gu Xi instead of being abandoned again and again like when he was a child.

Gu Xi stared at Abis's back for a while.

When the snake beastman transforms into a half-beast, does his hips look so high and his waist so thin? No wonder people always say "snake waist" and "snake waist". There is some truth to it.

etc……

Gu Xi slapped her forehead, secretly despising herself for being a pervert. She walked out of the study room carrying the basket, and after taking two steps she heard a scream.

"ah!!"

It’s Xu Mian.

Perhaps because he encountered the half-beast Abyss, Xu Mian screamed and approached Gu Xi in panic.

The hand originally wanted to pull Gu Xi's clothes, but when it realized Gu Xi's identity, it retracted it and said with fear: "My Lord Duke, I'm sorry, I lost my composure...but why did the Lord Admiral..."

Isn't the orc's gesture only shown when courting?

Especially the snake orcs.

This kind of cold-blooded orcs, when courting, at most make scales appear on their bodies. Whenever they make a big show of turning their lower body into a snake, it proves that they are facing a female they love to the core.

And now that Abis has come out like this, does it mean that he has failed in seducing Gu Xi?

When Xu Mian thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

But she held herself back and just continued to act scared.

Gu Xi saw Xu Mian shivering, as if she was very afraid of Abis, and felt a little annoyed.

I was already in a weird mood because of Abis, and now I have to watch Xu Mian act.

Gu Xi thought about it and smiled: "Don't be afraid, he is just angry and won't hit you."

Xu Mian was still timid: "Really? I'm afraid of cold-blooded orcs. I heard that they are as cold-blooded and scary as the Zerg..."

Xu Mian quietly observed Gu Xi's expression.

Gu Xi hated Abiss, that's why he let Abiss run out like this. So if you say this about Abiss, Gu Xi will definitely agree.

But Xu Mian was disappointed. Gu Xi actually spoke in a teaching tone: "Xu Mian, it's not polite to label people casually. We haven't been with all the cold-blooded orcs, so we can't just listen to hearsay."

"But...if the Duke doesn't hate the snake beastmen, why did he let the Admiral come out like that?"

"I..." Gu Xi explained to Xu Mian with a headache, "Why he and I are like this is very complicated. I can't explain it to you clearly."

It would have been fine if Xu Mian didn't ask, but when he did, Gu Xi felt even more weird.

She should have hated Abiss, but when she thought of how Abiss was extremely sad but still trying to remain stubborn, she felt something was strange.

Gu Xi was not in the mood to try on clothes anymore, nor did he want to bother with Xu Mian anymore, so he simply took the cubs to play in the nursery and asked Xu Mian to stand guard at the door.

After playing for a while, Lu Zhi brought people to say goodbye, saying that he had taken suitable samples and hoped to take a pair of horned rabbits back for research.

Gu Xi agreed, saying that he was not feeling well, and did not show up to see Lu Zhi off.

Until Bai Yu and Bai Si, who were busy in the palace, came back.

The two of them originally wanted to see Zaizai, but when they found that Gu Xi was in a bad mood, they sat down next to Gu Xi, one on the left and one on the right.

Bai Yu: "What happened, Xixi? Who made you unhappy? Ayu will help you get it back."

Bai Si glanced at his nephew, took Gu Xi's soft little hand and placed it on his lips and kissed it: "Xixi, don't get angry and hurt yourself, I'll punish Abis to run laps to help you vent your anger?"

"How do you know it's related to Abyss?" Gu Xi looked at Bai Si with sparkling eyes.

Bai Si gave Bai Yu a look that said "you are still young" and replied to Gu Xi with a smile: "I guessed. Young people are always impatient."

Bai Yuqi's pupils shrank.

This uncle of the emperor, if he wants to win favor, why does he attack me by my age? What's even more infuriating is that this attack is a double one!

He actually despised both him and Abyss!
