Silence

At this moment, it's quite obvious to her: if Carlos were still alive, she would definitely want to be with him.

Not only Cangjue, but also Miksen was unhappy. He said...

"You can't leave my side from now on. I need to watch over you closely. Don't think about the dead orc anymore, and don't mention him."

After saying that, he pulled Guo Xiaoxiao into his arms.

Guo Xiaoxiao fell silent after Mickson's dominant actions.

Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao's reaction, Cang Jue frowned. "I want to hug her too."

…

Back in the cave, they followed the plan meticulously, staying by his side every step of the way, except when he went to the toilet, they wouldn't stop watching him.

The snakes discussed it briefly and decided that one of them should go and relay the message, as the female was no match for the males.

Even if the father beast can't beat him, can he still run away with the people?

That evening, when it was Mickson's turn to eat meat, he asked the same questions as Arthur: Who exactly was that orc? And who put the beast mark on your hand?

Fortunately, no one suspected Carlos. Multiple sources confirmed that Carlos was dead and burned to ashes.

Poison might not kill him, but surely burning him would kill him too? If Carlos hadn't died, given his persistence, he wouldn't have given up on Guo Xiaoxiao. And what about the child? Wouldn't he have come out to snatch her away?

Mickelson kissed Guo Xiaoxiao gently, careful not to hurt him, but his worries were completely unnecessary.

"You can use a little more force, it's okay, but don't do what Arthur did yesterday."

Guo Xiaoxiao was implying to him that Arthur had been too rough yesterday, which was why she cried so much.

Okay, sure.

Mickelson's movements were slightly gentler than yesterday, but still rough; in other words, he loosened his grip.

Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think that if things continued like this, she would go crazy sooner or later...
