A stench filled the air, and all sorts of filth were scattered on the ground. Every orc harbored ill intentions, and occasionally, indistinct screams of agony could be heard.

Guo Xiaoxiao felt like she was about to faint, and Kevin kept holding her hand.

Having traversed countless ferocious orcs, they arrived at the castle. Living in such an environment for so long, everyone harbored a deep-seated, unvented anger.

Carlos had already received the message from the orcs at the city gate. One of the eagle beasts, upon seeing Kevin and his group, immediately ran to report.

Upon hearing this, Carlos immediately became excited. He had been looking forward to this for a long time, and although he didn't show it, every second of waiting was agonizing.

When Kevin and his group entered, they were greeted by a beaming face. They had never seen Carlos with such an expression before, and they had a strange feeling that they had entered the wrong room.

Kevin was so startled that he took a step back, while Guo Xiaoxiao shrank back even further, screaming internally, "Ahhh!"

Carlos waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave. Only after everyone had left did he slowly walk towards Guo Xiaoxiao.

Guo Xiaoxiao kept her head down, not daring to look at him, almost kneeling down and kowtowing twice, begging for his life.

Kevin watched him warily. Carlos was unpredictable; his mental state had been worrying ever since the female ran away. He didn't want Carlos to suddenly sweep his tail at him.

"You've finally arrived."

Carlos reached out to grab Guo Xiaoxiao's shoulder, and Guo Xiaoxiao screamed and quickly hid behind Kevin.

"Hey, don't come any closer, don't come any closer!"

Big Bear and Little Bear were dumbfounded. What was going on?

The two exchanged a glance, then turned and left in unison, planning to return later to claim their reward, leaving Kevin and the other two behind.

Kevin looked a little embarrassed and turned his head to say...

"There's no point in hiding anymore, you can't escape it anyway."

Then, smiling at Carlos, he handed Guo Xiaoxiao over and said...

"Well, I've brought the person here. I'll be going now."

Carlos didn't stop Kevin. He stood in front of Guo Xiaoxiao, looking at her coldly, his eyes flashing with a sinister light.

Why are you hiding? Am I that scary?

Guo Xiaoxiao forced herself to remain calm: "No, I..."

Carlos gently stroked Guo Xiaoxiao's soft, delicate face, giving her goosebumps. He said, "Answer me."

Guo Xiaoxiao felt the touch on her cheek, her heart leaping into her throat. She whispered...

"I...I haven't seen you in so long, oh, I'm shy."

"Hmm? You're shy because you like me?"

Guo Xiaoxiao shook her head vigorously. How could she possibly like a demon king? Had she lost her mind?

After shaking for a while, she felt something was off. Since they were on his turf, she figured it was better to just nod and agree. So she started nodding vigorously again.

Carlos suddenly roared angrily

I don't believe it.

With a roar, Guo Xiaoxiao trembled. She said...

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

Guo Xiaoxiao's head was bowed low. She glanced up at Carlos, and when she met his deep eyes, she froze, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, the chill penetrating to her very bones.

You lied to me.

Carlos suddenly flew into a rage, grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao by the neck, and lifted her up. Guo Xiaoxiao struggled, but couldn't break free of his grip. She had difficulty breathing, and her face turned bright red.

Carlos controlled his rage and put her down again.

"Why did you lie to me and poison me? Do you know what happened to me afterward? I barely escaped death, do you understand?"

Guo Xiaoxiao took a few difficult breaths, regained her breathing, and said...

"Why ask me? Just give me a quick death and kill me."

Carlos's gaze shifted to Guo Xiaoxiao's chest, and he suddenly stretched out his claws, grabbing at the animal hide covering her chest.

Ah~

Guo Xiaoxiao screamed. Her skills and abilities had been enhanced; she dodged with incredible speed, hiding behind a pillar.

"Carlos, calm down. Fine, you can poison me then, that'll do you a good job."

Carlos's feet transformed into snake tails, and he swiftly slithered towards Guo Xiaoxiao. Just as Guo Xiaoxiao tried to escape, Carlos grabbed her and dragged her along. Even with his skills, his speed was still too slow against the five-star ringed serpent beast.

"You think I won't kill you?"

Carlos cruelly said

Forced into a corner, Guo Xiaoxiao activated Lion King's Heart again. With the two skills enhanced, her mind and spirit were uplifted. She suppressed her fear, calmed her thoughts, and changed her mindset.

She said calmly

"If you wanted to kill me, you should have done it the moment you saw me. Why wait until now?"

Carlos gave a wicked laugh, his hand reaching into the animal skin pouch at his waist to pull out a bone knife, which he held to Guo Xiaoxiao's neck. Guo Xiaoxiao waited for him calmly.

"Kill them!"

After the Lion King's Heart skill is activated, it increases courage, causes blood to surge, and stimulates the host's intelligence, enabling them to react appropriately in adversity.

The skill disappeared prematurely because Kevin couldn't elicit an optimal escape plan from her while he was tying her up.

Carlos's expression changed. He threw down the bone knife, making a cracking sound, and grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao. Guo Xiaoxiao could feel the pain in her shoulders from Carlos's embrace.

Carlos held her tightly, kissed her lips, and clung to her, savoring the moment.

Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes widened

"Hmm..."

It lasted for a long time, until Guo Xiaoxiao was almost suffocating, before he reluctantly pulled away from her lips.

Guo Xiaoxiao's legs gave way and she fell to the ground. Carlos bent down, picked up the bone knife from the ground, and used it to lift her chin, saying...

I'll forgive you for now, but please don't make me angry again.

Guo Xiaoxiao was panting heavily, unable to speak, but it was clear she wouldn't be killed.

Carlos patted her cheek with satisfaction, put the bone knife back into his belt, then picked up Guo Xiaoxiao and carried her to the center of the house.

Guo Xiaoxiao hadn't even recovered when she was thrown onto the mat.

Let's get together!

He had barely finished speaking when he leaned down on her. Guo Xiaoxiao knew rationally that there was no escape. Her head was still steaming. She closed her eyes, resigned herself to her fate, and said, "Come on!"

Carlos gently untied Guo Xiaoxiao's animal hide, exposing her snow-white, rounded breasts to the air. He greedily inhaled the unique scent of a young girl.

"It smells so good, it tastes so sweet!"

The moment you possess it, all anger becomes meaningless.

Carlos licked Guo Xiaoxiao's collarbone, and Guo Xiaoxiao felt a ticklish sensation, her body gradually becoming hot.

Guo Xiaoxiao trembled as he bit her ear.

Carlos's hand moved upwards along her slender, long thighs. He was quite satisfied; Guo Xiaoxiao remained quiet, neither resisting him nor begging for mercy.

Guo Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and met his smiling gaze, which was filled with a predatory intensity, as if he wanted to devour her.

"Hmm~"

Guo Xiaoxiao let out a seductive moan.

"I love you"

Carlos's voice was deep, gentle, and magnetic as he softly caressed her body.

Just as Carlos was preparing his move, Guo Xiaoxiao finished releasing her skill, her body temperature plummeted, and she fainted.

Carlos noticed Guo Xiaoxiao's unusual behavior and quickly checked on her, only to find that she had fainted.

He pulled Guo Xiaoxiao into his arms, kissed her forehead, and said, "It's good that you fainted. When you wake up, we'll be officially a couple."
