Carlos went outside to find some branches and started sweeping the floor with his head down. Guo Xiaoxiao sat on the bed watching him. He would occasionally smile at her, his eyes curving like crescent moons. Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't help but curse.

"Are you out of your mind?"

"No," Carlos shook his head, "I just think you're pretty."

Guo Xiaoxiao: "..."

She ignored him, and Carlos continued working diligently. After finishing the assigned task of sweeping the floor, he went to boil water for her, and then picked some fragrant fruit and placed it on the table.

He obeyed every order given by Guo Xiaoxiao without uttering a single word of dissent.

In the evening, Carlos served dinner to Guo Xiaoxiao.

I wanted to sit down and keep Guo Xiaoxiao company.

Guo Xiaoxiao took the plate and shouted.

"Sit down? A lowly person like you can't sit. You stand and watch me eat."

"good"

Carlos stood obediently to her side, without a single complaint, gazing at her with a blissful expression. In his heart, he always felt that acknowledging her was better than ignoring her.

Even if he's scolded or treated badly, he'll accept it.

Guo Xiaoxiao: "You're hopeless."

Guo Xiaoxiao continued to ignore him, feeling no satisfaction from revenge. Being led by the nose, she threw the plate aside and refused to eat.

Seeing her like this, Carlos said, "Why aren't you eating?"

Guo Xiaoxiao remained silent.

Carlos: "Have something to eat."

Guo Xiaoxiao remained silent.

Carlos: "If you don't eat your fill, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep."

Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly turned her head to look at him, and Carlos was looking at her with an innocent expression.

"You did this on purpose."

She was furious

Carlos looked at Guo Xiaoxiao innocently: "Didn't you tell me to stand here and watch you eat? Why are you still angry?"

"snort"

Guo Xiaoxiao stubbornly refused to look at him. She continued eating, though she was still a little hungry. She picked up the plate and put small pieces of meat in her mouth to chew.

Seeing that she had started eating, Carlos cautiously said...

"Actually, I can keep you company even if you don't eat. I think you should take a shower first; the water I boiled is getting cold. What do you think?"

Guo Xiaoxiao glanced at it, then immediately turned her head, meeting Carlos's malicious gaze.

"I won't mate with you."

Carlos chuckled sheepishly, "No, I was just reminding you. I'll leave if you're going to take a shower, and I promise I won't watch."

Guo Xiaoxiao stared at him suspiciously. Had he changed his ways? She didn't believe it, but Carlos seemed very sincere.

"real"

Guo Xiaoxiao glanced at the large basin of water, thought for a moment, and decided to wash herself. She'd already said she was going out, so this was a good opportunity.

"Then you can leave. Don't come in until I'm finished washing."

"Okay!"

Carlos obediently left, closing the door behind him. To prevent Carlos from peeking, Guo Xiaoxiao ran out to check around, making sure he was gone before slowly returning to the large basin.

They had both seen each other naked, but Guo Xiaoxiao didn't want him to take advantage of her in any way.

She stood in front of the basin and touched the water; the temperature was just right, warm enough for a relaxing bath. Carlos was quite efficient; he said he'd get her a basin, and he'd brought it over in an hour or two.

Bathing is much more convenient now; there's no need to use wet animal hides to wipe your body anymore.

She removed the animal skin, sat in the basin of warm water, and felt incredibly comfortable as it soaked through her body. Her body felt soft and yielding, and she didn't want to get up, as if she were dreaming of a fairyland.

Guo Xiaoxiao squinted, lost in thought, but then her heart clenched again as she thought of Miken and the others. Sigh…

What should I do? This is so frustrating! I have to find the white crystal core, but this place is so airtight, where can she run to?

Even an eagle can fly away, but this person's two legs can't outrun their four legs. Hmm... Carlos doesn't have legs?

It reminds me of how the beast world never had a single day of peace.

She was initially found by Miken, then snatched away by Cangjue, and then returned to the tribe with Arthur. Then Carlos set his sights on her. She came to the Beast World to build infrastructure and farm, but did nothing of note, barely completed any quests, and was constantly being fought over by men.

She's always being pursued by someone, and she's not allowed to refuse anyone. And if she does refuse, she turns to the dark side.

Carlos is the epitome of the villain, often depicted in the book as saying, "What does it matter if I offend the world for you? Love doesn't exist."

I used to think this only happened on TV, but it suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which is unbelievable. The world is full of wonders.

Xiaoxiao

A familiar voice came from behind her, and Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her eyes. Looking up, she saw Carlos right behind her.

"Xiaoxiao, is the water cold? Should I boil it again for you?"

Guo Xiaoxiao asked him in surprise, "You jerk, didn't you leave? Why haven't you made a sound behind me? What are you up to? Get out of here!"

Guo Xiaoxiao splashed water on him, but Carlos neither dodged nor flinched. He remained completely still, soaked to the bone, and said in a serious tone...

"I've only been here a short while. I wanted to check on you, but I was worried the water would be cold. Now, well, I'm all wet too."

Guo Xiaoxiao curled up in a ball, glaring at him angrily: "The water's not cold, don't look away!"

"Really? Let me touch it."

Carlos reached into the large basin and felt the water; it was indeed not cold, quite warm, perfect for a bath.

"The temperature is just right"

"That's terrible! Get out of here right now!"

Guo Xiaoxiao was furious and ordered him to leave, but Carlos remained as steady as a rock and refused to budge.

"My clothes are wet too, let's shower together. Don't worry, just take a shower, I won't touch you."

As Carlos spoke, he had already removed the animal skin, revealing his muscular upper body, his strong muscles taut and exuding an alluring power.

Guo Xiaoxiao forced her gaze away: "Who wants to shower with you? Get lost, or... or I'll bite you!"

"Yeah?"

Carlos was pleasantly surprised and felt an eager anticipation.

"Then I'm coming in, go ahead and bite."

The basin was large enough for Guo Xiaoxiao to soak in, but with Carlos's arrival, the space clearly felt much smaller.

Guo Xiaoxiao kept shifting her body, trying to get away from Carlos, but Carlos obediently stayed to one side and didn't deliberately approach her.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash if you disagree."

He spoke with such sincerity that Guo Xiaoxiao no longer believed him. What was their relationship now? How could he let her off so easily?

Guo Xiaoxiao clutched her chest, trying to get out of the basin. She couldn't stay with this guy, especially in her current state; things could easily escalate into something more serious.

Carlos grabbed her ankle and pulled her forcefully into his arms.

Let me go!

Guo Xiaoxiao pushed him and struggled, but the more she struggled, the more intimate their position became, and her waist was trapped.

"I didn't even prepare animal hides for you; you'll catch a cold if you go out. Soak a little longer; I've already told you I don't know how to do anything else."

Guo Xiaoxiao: "Then why are you hugging me? Why did you drag me in here? You have the nerve to say that? You really are a slut!"

Carlos hugged her even tighter: "Are you afraid you'll fall? The basin is so high, can you get out by yourself? What if you get hurt? I'll be heartbroken."

"you……"

Guo Xiaoxiao was speechless. "Is she missing a screw in her head? You jerk!"

"Let go of me, or I'll bite you! Let go of me!"

Guo Xiaoxiao kept slapping him, but Carlos's arm was like steel.
