Upon seeing this, Carlos's eyes darkened, and Guo Xiaoxiao playfully punched him in embarrassment and annoyance.

"Let go! I'm still in pain!"

"I will be gentle, so you won't feel pain."

"No... Waaah... Ugh..."

After a passionate lovemaking session, Carlos lay contentedly on the bed, embracing the exhausted Guo Xiaoxiao. Although it felt incredibly pleasurable and comfortable, Carlos worried about potentially harming her, so he only dared to take small, tentative steps.

We've been mating way too frequently lately, but I can't afford to waste my heat cycle, right?

Guo Xiaoxiao lay on Carlos's chest, panting heavily, her body limp and powerless. If this continued, when her period came next month, he might mistake it for heat.

That would be... Oh my god, she didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Carlos: "Let me give you a massage first, you can rest for a while."

"Hmm...no..."

Guo Xiaoxiao's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz. She was exhausted and had no strength left to resist, but fearing that Carlos might accidentally pounce on her again, she weakly put up a fight.

I won't touch you anymore.

Carlos stretched out his arms to support Guo Xiaoxiao's delicate body.

With gentle caresses and massages, Guo Xiaoxiao let out a comfortable moan and drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up, Carlos had placed the food on the table, but he was gone.

"Ouch...that hurts!"

Guo Xiaoxiao rubbed her lower back and slowly sat up.

That damn bastard almost killed her. She'd never let him touch her again. No, no, she hadn't let him touch her in the first place; he forced himself on her.

Guo Xiaoxiao ate something to fill her stomach, then suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. It hurt terribly; she felt something moving through her body.

Guo Xiaoxiao was terrified... Could she be pregnant? No way! She dismissed the thought; even if she were pregnant, it wouldn't happen so quickly.

Guo Xiaoxiao touched her flat stomach and felt the cramping pain intensify. She endured it for a while, and then it disappeared without any further movement.

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't care and ate her fill. The meat was a little cold, as if it had been sitting there for a long time.

Hmm? Was Carlos in a panic when he left?

He would usually stand very considerately in front of her, so that she would see him as soon as she opened her eyes, standing there with a plate, asking, "Are you hungry? Let me feed you," and so on.

"Busy today?" She ate a few bites and quietly walked to the meeting room. Peeking through the crack in the door, she saw it was completely empty, not even a doorman.

"Is something wrong?" Guo Xiaoxiao wondered as she returned to her room, picked up a piece of fruit and started eating... until Carlos returned as usual.

…

She counted down the days, her heart always with them; another half month had passed…

She had been imprisoned for almost a month, and Carlos had stayed by her side the whole time, showing her concern and never leaving her side.

Despite the unexpected pampering he showed her, Guo Xiaoxiao still resisted, not wanting to be too intimate.

But Carlos, like a persistent ghost, became even more demanding, wanting to carry her everywhere and forbidding her from going out.

Guo Xiaoxiao looked up at Carlos standing by the window. His handsome, devilish face, deep, dark eyes, thick, long eyelashes, straight nose, and thin lips all drew people in to explore.

He shook his head vigorously. If this continued, they would all succumb. No, this couldn't be allowed.

You must hold on to Guo Xiaoxiao. This person caused Arthur and the others to lose their star rating and put you under house arrest here. You can't give her a chance.

Carlos leaned in and pecked Guo Xiaoxiao on the lips.

"Spying on me?"

The voice was magnetic and captivating.

Guo Xiaoxiao turned her face away and snorted coldly, "I wouldn't even bother looking."

Carlos laughed, "Xiaoxiao, your ears are all red!"

Guo Xiaoxiao turned her head to look elsewhere.

"No"

Carlos didn't mind; he was happy as long as Xiaoxiao looked at him, even for just one more second.

Okay, okay, I'm just kidding.

Guo Xiaoxiao pouted, feeling manipulated again.

Carlos gently took Guo Xiaoxiao's small hand and placed it on his chest: "Xiaoxiao, it will always beat for you."

Carlos's voice was seductive, and Guo Xiaoxiao felt a tickle in her heart, but she didn't know how to refute it. Damn, he's too good at it.

He's the one who's a femme fatale.

"I promise I will never do anything to hurt you. I only ask for an occasional kiss or a caress. I don't ask for anything else. Trust me, okay?"

"No! You've already hurt me by breaking the Bond Seal!"

Carlos lowered his eyes: "Without this, we can't form a partnership; they are stumbling blocks."

"You can't understand my predicament right now, but time will tell... I..."

Guo Xiaoxiao wouldn't listen anymore. Carlos was too stubborn and didn't think he was wrong at all. There was no point in saying anything more, so she shook off Carlos.

"I'm sleepy and need to rest."

Carlos pulled her hand back and asked softly.

Are you angry again?

Don't touch me

Okay, I won't touch you. You go to sleep quietly.

Carlos helped her lie down: "Go to sleep."

Guo Xiaoxiao lay on her side, looking at him, and suddenly felt a little reluctant to part. She closed her eyes.

Carlos gazed at her for a moment, then leaned down and kissed Guo Xiaoxiao on the forehead before leaving the room.

Guo Xiaoxiao felt the warmth on her forehead, opened her eyes, her gaze complex, but she needed to stay calm.

…

A lot has happened in the past ten days or so, but Guo Xiaoxiao, who is imprisoned in the very center of Beast City, knows nothing about it. Carlos will not tell her any of this.

Rewind 5 days...

The Yushan tribe had been completely wiped out, suffering heavy losses every day. Seeing that they could no longer hold out, Randy led all the orcs who were willing to follow him and fled.

Feather Mountain has been occupied by several beast kings. The good news is that their influence is not as strong as before, and some marginal beastmen, unable to get much food, have left on their own.

The remaining females who didn't escape were also living a difficult life under house arrest in the back mountains, being forced to choose a few more orcs.

Lin Zhi was among them. Yun Ying, as her male, didn't go with Randy, and Mikel, seeing the chaos, ran to rescue Lin Zhi but was also caught red-handed.

Some orcs knew he was Mikel's brother and wanted to kill him. In the midst of the crisis, Linzhi saved her life by taking the initiative to admit that Mikel was her male.

The Beast King sent someone to persuade him again today.

"As a member of the tribe, the female has an obligation to select more warriors. You can get food every day without having to work hard. This kind of life is a hundred times, a thousand times better than waiting to die in one place. Why don't you agree?"

The females all lowered their heads and remained silent. Everyone knew that this treatment wouldn't last long; she had no choice but to agree.

Linzhi is very calm

"Besides Yunying and Mikel, I have two other males. They have bad tempers and will be very angry if they find out I've found another male."

"We have a strong and well-equipped force here. He's just a male to you. If he's disobedient and you can't control him, we'll definitely help you."

Yunying, in a fit of temper, rushed over and grabbed the orc by the collar who had come to persuade her.

"Shut up"

Let go

The orc struggled twice, but seeing that Yunying didn't let go and instead tightened his grip, he became enraged and raised his fist to punch him.
