Simon: "Yeah, a bit too little."

"Uh-huh"

Aze nodded in agreement.

Seeing how bold the two men were, and considering that both were powerful clan leaders, and that they hadn't specified their star ring level, but they looked to be at least 4-star, wasn't Abier afraid of getting beaten up?

He tried to smooth things over.

"That's nonsense. It's not as exaggerated as you're making it out to be. Females usually live in groups, so what danger could they possibly be in? Hehehe."

Neither Cang Jue nor Miksen said anything, while Simon continued to tease them.

"Little female, you don't believe me? You'll see when you're really in danger! You're so fair and delicate, you're easy to be snatched away. You need a few more males to protect you."

Simon was really hitting every landmine with his words. Mickelson couldn't take it anymore, stood up, walked over, grabbed Simon by the collar, and dragged him up. His cold eyes were fixed on him, and Simon was terrified.

"What are you doing?"

Mickson threatened

"If you dare utter another word of nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."

Abier quickly pulled Simon back and said

"Don't get agitated, he just loves to talk nonsense, calm down."

Miksen returned to Guo Xiaoxiao's side indignantly, while Cang Jue also looked annoyed.

Simon muttered resentfully, while Aze, realizing the situation, wisely shut up.

Abir comforted Simon and said

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about the Beastmaster. Why did he call us over in the winter?"

"Who knows..."

"Either they have something important to do, or they just want to show off."

"Something doesn't feel right. Who would send someone to the Beast City in winter?"

"Exactly, the stuff is hard to carry, and the environment is harsh..."

…

The group chatted on and on, and the night gradually deepened. Guo Xiaoxiao got sleepy and fell asleep in Mickson's arms. Seeing this, Cang Jue didn't dare to take her away and obediently slept to the side.

Randy kept his eyes closed but didn't fall asleep, listening to their conversation until the fire died down and everyone was asleep. Only then did he sit up and glance at Guo Xiaoxiao.

He couldn't forget the snow-white body he had seen. He didn't understand what it was, but it was a strange feeling, making him restless. Unable to figure out why, he went back to sleep.

Everyone was fast asleep in the dead of night when Guo Xiaoxiao vaguely felt a pair of hands touching her, probing inside her clothes.

It made her feel a tingling, unbearable sensation all over her body. When she opened her eyes and saw that it was Mickelson's hand, she was momentarily confused and said...

"What's wrong, Mickson?"

When Mickson saw that Guo Xiaoxiao had woken up, he said softly

"I'm learning Cang Jue"

Why bother learning Cangjue?

Guo Xiaoxiao was taken aback, then understood what he meant, her cheeks flushed, and she said...

Why learn from him?

Mickelson's hands were still fidgeting; you could tell he was very unhappy.

"He's always kissing and touching you. I originally thought you didn't like it, but now I know you like that kind of thing."

"..."

Guo Xiaoxiao was speechless. Was she jealous? He certainly had reason to be angry when she secretly mated behind his back and left him outside.

Mickelson's hand left Guo Xiaoxiao's chest and rested between her legs, saying...

"If only I could be like Cang Jue."

“…”

Guo Xiaoxiao reached out and grasped Mickson's hand, stopping him from touching her. With several other adults around, she didn't want to be observed and watched.

"You're already very good; you don't need to learn from him."

"Yeah?"

After a moment of silence, Mickelson suddenly rolled over and pinned Guo Xiaoxiao beneath him.

"I don't like the fact that Cang Jue holds a more place in your heart than I do."

"Forehead…"

"No matter what he does, you forgive him immediately. If he says he wants to mate with you, you immediately take off your clothes to greet him. I always have to wait a long time; I'm always behind him in line."

Mickelson spoke of this with a serious expression tinged with resentment, while Guo Xiaoxiao listened, breaking out in a cold sweat. When had she ever immediately welcomed Cang Jue when he suggested mating? She whispered...

No, you're overthinking it.

"You're lying, Xiaoxiao, you don't care about me anymore."

Miksen was genuinely jealous of Cang Jue. Even if Cang Jue forced himself on her, Guo Xiaoxiao would easily forgive him. He didn't even want to mention his usual acts of taking advantage of others.

Guo Xiaoxiao was both amused and exasperated. She hooked her arm around Mickson's neck and whispered...

"Of course I like you because you're so outstanding. You're my first male, so don't overthink it."

"Really?"

Mikkson's distrustful gaze

"Yes, I like Mickelson the most."

Guo Xiaoxiao coaxed him

Mickelson was satisfied. He leaned close to Guo Xiaoxiao's ear and whispered...

"Xiaoxiao, do you think they'll hear me if I kiss you right now?"

Guo Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat; she really couldn't answer that question. She didn't want to reject him, but the situation wouldn't allow it—how embarrassing! There were so many people, and Randy was a minor!

The orcs, still asleep, were not awakened; they spoke very closely and softly.

"I...I'm not ready, I...I'm tired, I'm going to sleep now."

Guo Xiaoxiao closed her eyes in evasion. Mickson smiled wryly, but didn't go too far, only giving Guo Xiaoxiao a quick peck on the corner of her mouth.

Goodnight, Xiaoxiao.

On the morning of the second day, everyone got up very early. The people sleeping next to them were all strangers, and they couldn't sleep soundly, so they all got up early as well.

Everyone busied themselves packing their luggage, preparing to set off for their destination. The journey still had two or three days to go, and travel was slower in winter, so it might take another day or two.

Guo Xiaoxiao took a couple of bites of jerky, stood at the cave entrance looking at the snow scene, but now she didn't find it beautiful anymore, all she felt was cold, so cold, really cold.

Turning her head, she saw Mickson helping her boil water for washing. He was also wearing a fur coat, though it was quite thin. Were all male beastmen resistant to the cold? They usually dressed like it was summer, but in winter they dressed like it was autumn. Mickson was still diligently adding firewood to melt the snow.

Mickelson looked up and said

"I'll boil some water for you, then you can wash up and change into my clothes to keep warm."

Guo Xiaoxiao looked at his clothes; they were too big and probably wouldn't fit. She shook her head.

"I'm dressed fine, I don't need to change, and it's not actually that cold."

Randy and his friends washed themselves in a simple and crude way, rubbing animal hides in the snow and then smearing them directly on their faces, as if they were living a summer life.

Guo Xiaoxiao shuddered at their appearance. After washing her face, Miken took Guo Xiaoxiao to the restroom, leaving Cang Jue alone to pack his things.

When Guo Xiaoxiao goes to the toilet in the wild, she will absolutely not take Cang Jue with her; he will definitely take the opportunity to grope her, and she won't be able to shake him off. Mikeson won't.

He's completely obedient; he does whatever Guo Xiaoxiao says and never tries to take advantage of her.

But now, Mikkelsen really wants to learn from Cang Jue.

The group packed their belongings and decided to travel together. Their destination was Beast City, so they could look out for each other. A small incident occurred along the way.

For some reason, Randy pinched Guo Xiaoxiao's breast in full view of everyone, and even squeezed it.
