Mikel thoughtfully handed the grilled meat to Mikeson, who nodded, took the meat, held it in his hand without eating, and said to Mikel...

"Mikel, you can go back and rest now."

"good"

Mikel stood up without hesitation, turned and left without saying a word.

After Mick left, Mickson walked over to Guo Xiaoxiao.

"Would you like some more meat?"

Guo Xiaoxiao was packing her suitcase when she found the contents scattered in pieces. It must have been because Mickson had been moving very fast when he picked up the suitcase, causing the contents to fly out of her hands.

"No need, I'm full. Just tidy up."

Guo Xiaoxiao was very meticulous, carefully placing each item out of the box and arranging them neatly. She then picked out a white tracksuit from the clothes and said, "Okay, if I need to change, I'll change into this outfit; it'll be convenient."

"Still weird clothes," Mickson said.

"I'll make you some animal hides today, so you don't need to bring yours out."

"No need for that. We can do it later. I'm afraid I won't be used to wearing your animal hides. For now, I'll just wear what I have to wear. Don't worry about it."

"All right"

Mickelson didn't insist, but he secretly made a mental note to help Guo Xiaoxiao make a piece of animal skin by hand, as it was every male's responsibility.

After finishing his barbecue, Mickson picked up a makeshift broom made of leaves and gave the cave a quick clean.

Guo Xiaoxiao sat on the animal skin cushion like a lord, not having to do anything, just watching.

My infatuation has kicked in; just look at Mickelson's virtuous figure as she cleans the cave.

He's truly unique, absolutely flawless, like a star, his face sculpted, his nose perfectly carved... How come you never find a man like him in modern times! So caring and good at housework.

"What are you looking at?"

Guo Xiaoxiao shook her head

"It's nothing, I just think you're amazing. You're equally at home in formal settings and in the kitchen—that's exactly what they mean by 'you're perfect.'"

Mickelson only heard Guo Xiaoxiao praise him for being amazing. He didn't understand the words that followed, but he knew they were compliments.

He naturally enjoyed listening, flashing his white teeth.

"Doing all this is nothing for you."

"Hehe, thanks, thank you!"

Guo Xiaoxiao lowered her head guiltily. If I leave in the future, leaving him disappointed, I'll feel a little guilty.

Mickelson looked at Guo Xiaoxiao and assumed she was shy, so he chuckled softly. His laughter seemed to have a magical quality, and Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look up.

Their eyes met, and instantly they seemed to be connected by countless threads. Guo Xiaoxiao felt his gentle gaze, as if it could drown her, leaving her no way to escape.

Mickelson reached out and pressed Guo Xiaoxiao's head against his chest.

This small gesture made Guo Xiaoxiao tense up instantly; it's impossible for her not to be afraid.

"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything reckless. I'll tolerate you until you come of age."

Mickson said gently.

Guo Xiaoxiao fell silent, nestled quietly in Mickson's arms, feeling his heartbeat.

She didn't know what to say; she just felt uneasy, not for any other reason than her inability to reciprocate this love.

Mickelson tightened his grip on her, drawing them closer together, his breath brushing against Guo Xiaoxiao's ear.

A surge of heat rushed to her brain, leaving her bewildered.

Guo Xiaoxiao pushed Mickson away and changed the subject, asking...

"What were you discussing with the elder? You've been gone for so long."

"It's nothing serious, just some friction and conflict between tribes. This time, the elder and Mikel went to the Sishui tribe. The chief of the Sishui tribe, Cang Jue, wants us to cede a piece of land to them."

Mickelson said this in a flat tone, but his dissatisfaction was palpable.

"So you're saying we're going to take over territory? Who would agree to that?" Guo Xiaoxiao said.

"Why not just say you're not giving it to me?"

"Of course we won't give it to them. Do you think our Yushan tribe is easy to bully? You think you can just take land whenever you want? Dream on!"

Mikson snorted coldly, completely disregarding the Sishui tribe. If they dared to attack, he would make sure Cang Jue suffered a terrible fate.

Guo Xiaoxiao spent a few carefree days in the beast world, living a life of leisure, with food prepared for her and Miken handed to her whenever she wanted.

Guo Xiaoxiao liked to eat fruit, so Miksen found some fruits from their beast world for her to eat. She wanted to take a bath, so Miksen specially dug a stone pit in the cave for her.

In short, it's absolutely fantastic!

As long as Mickson doesn't use the word "mating," she can probably live with him like this for the rest of her life.

However, things can change unexpectedly; what's meant to happen will happen.

One day, the system opened in Guo Xiaoxiao's mind, reminding her...

[Host, you lied to Miksen and said you were a minor female. According to the schedule, your period is about to start. I don't need to explain what menstruation means in the beast world.]

Guo Xiaoxiao responded: What can I do? I'll just take it one day at a time. I've planned it all out; I have to run away the day after tomorrow.

System: [There is a special task available now. Will you accept it?]

Guo Xiaoxiao: Answer it! Why wouldn't you answer? I'm just looking for something to do. The skills you gave me are useless right now. Do you have anything more practical?

System [Some hosts, if you complete this mission, you will be rewarded with a resurrection spell.]

Guo Xiaoxiao: Okay, tell me what the task is?

The system [establishes a mate relationship with a male].

Guo Xiaoxiao made a quick decision: "Change it, change it. Are there any other tasks? This one won't do."

System [You're in the Beast World, and you can't hide your mating season. Take this opportunity to recruit a male to serve you; just think of him as a follower.]

Are you kidding me? Who follows someone this early? Trading their integrity for it? First of all, Guo Xiaoxiao isn't being pretentious; it's just that men in this world are different from men in the real world—their bodies are different, and she can't accept their size. It would be better to just kill her; that would be quicker.

Guo Xiaoxiao: Let's try another one. Are there any others?

The system rewards you with one energy potion for obtaining leaves from 50 plant species.

Guo Xiaoxiao: This seems more reliable. What is an energy potion?

The system [a potion that can make plants grow quickly is very useful in the Beast World]

Okay, that's it. Guo Xiaoxiao accepted the task. The task itself was very simple; she didn't even need to lift a finger. She just needed to tell Mikeson to give her the leaves of 50 different plants, and he would definitely help her find them.

Thinking this, Guo Xiaoxiao sat on the leather cushion, waiting for Mikeson to return. Mikeson had designated a certain area for her, forbidding her from wandering too far outside the cave, ostensibly for safety, but really just to prevent others from having designs on her.

Guo Xiaoxiao wasn't stupid; she naturally understood what Mickson was doing. Every time Mickson left, she would quietly run out to familiarize herself with the terrain and find an escape route. When Mickson returned, she would also return, and so on, pretending to stay in the cave every day.

Guo Xiaoxiao set a date for her escape, and now only one problem remained: her suitcase. Carrying it would be too cumbersome, but she couldn't leave it without all her important belongings.
