As Mickelson spoke, he extended his claws, attempting to snap Sam's neck.

Having finally been rescued, he went mad. Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't understand Mickson's behavior and got a little angry, so she blocked Mickson from getting close to Sam.

"Calm down. Do you have a grudge against him? Besides, he's underage. Aren't you bullying him?"

Mickelson was shocked by what he saw; he had never seen Guo Xiaoxiao so protective of a male, even though they hadn't known each other for very long.

But from what he knew of her, Guo Xiaoxiao had always been indifferent to other males, never showing any intimacy even to other females, yet she was protecting Sam, Mickson said.

"I only wanted to teach him a lesson, but today he's going to die."

"She's crazy!" Guo Xiaoxiao pushed Mickson away, shoving him back. Mickson stared at her actions, stunned. Guo Xiaoxiao turned her head and said...

"Sam, go now. Come back after Mickson has calmed down."

Sam shook his head to show his attitude.

"Females don't usually have only one male. It's Mikeson's fault. I'm not leaving. I can't beat him, but I won't back down."

Sam was no match for Miksen, yet he wouldn't run away. While Miksen may be a good patriarch, he wasn't wrong in this matter.

Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it anymore. Mickelson was serious. You could see that his eyes weren't gentle and tender, but rather filled with the ferocity of a beast.

If he doesn't stop him, Sam will be doomed. He was saved with great difficulty, and now he's crippled again. How can that be allowed?

Guo Xiaoxiao stayed close to Sam, separating him from Li Kesen, constantly monitoring Sam's movements, fearing something might happen to him.

That small gesture, however, was interpreted very differently by Mickelson. His carefully protected darling wasn't on his side.

She clearly promised that he would be the only male, so what is she doing now?

Mickelson felt he had been cheated.

When he saw Guo Xiaoxiao protect Sam with her body, he was consumed by jealousy and wanted nothing more than to kill Sam immediately. He tried his best to calm himself down and not act rashly.

"Hurry up!"

Guo Xiaoxiao urged

Sam didn't leave; instead, he lowered his head and looked at her.

Guo Xiaoxiao was annoyed. Why didn't he listen to advice? He's so much shorter; he really wanted to fight Mickson. Didn't he even know if he could win?

"I will no longer attack Sam."

Suddenly, Mickson said calmly, throwing the kiwi on the ground, then staring at Guo Xiaoxiao with a gaze that struck straight to her soul.

Guo Xiaoxiao felt uneasy under Sam's gaze, but she still mustered her courage and said...

"See you another day, Sam. I'm heading back with Mickson now."

Sam glanced up at Mickson, then at Guo Xiaoxiao, and ultimately acquiesced to her decision. In truth, given his current physical condition, a duel would be impossible; even escaping would be difficult.

Mickelson grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao's wrist and practically yanked her into his arms.

"Back to the cave"

Guo Xiaoxiao winced slightly but didn't refuse. He knew that Mickelson was just concerned about him getting too close to Sam.

Forced into Mickson's arms and carried back to the cave, Guo Xiaoxiao said something nice to Mickson to calm him down.

After placing Guo Xiaoxiao on the fur mat, Mickson immediately fetched a large number of branches to seal up the entrance to the hole.

Why did you seal the entrance to the cave?

Guo Xiaoxiao asked in confusion

Mickelson didn't stop what he was doing, staring at her face.

"To be a couple"

"Oh, it's about forming a partnership. I thought it was something else," Guo Xiaoxiao smiled.

Thank goodness it's about forming a partnership, not mating! Then, before I could laugh for three seconds, I realized, "What if he says he wants to form a partnership later? Isn't that the same thing?"

Oh no, what do we do, what do we do?

Guo Xiaoxiao sat on the fur cushion, shifting restlessly, thinking of a solution.

Seeing her like this, Mickelson frowned, as if he was about to explode.

"You don't want to?"

His voice was not as steady as usual, but tinged with savagery, as if he had completely locked onto his prey.

"no I do not…"

Guo Xiaoxiao wanted to refuse

But Mickelson didn't give her a chance; he pinned her down and kissed her lips.

His breathing was heavy and domineering. Guo Xiaoxiao tried to push him away, but he was very strong, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't budge him an inch. Instead, she was pressed down even more heavily by him.

"Mmm~~"

Guo Xiaoxiao pounded her fists on his chest, but his hands gripped her waist, rendering her immobile.

Like barbarians, they plundered indiscriminately.

This was no joke; Guo Xiaoxiao realized that Miken wouldn't let her off easily.

She could feel the warmth of Mikexon around her waist, but the thought of what she was about to endure made Guo Xiaoxiao begin to resist.

Her legs thrashed wildly, but Mickson remained unmoved, continuing his domineering plunder.

"Uh-huh"

Guo Xiaoxiao kept calling out, trying to resist Mikeson's advances. Mikeson sensed her reaction, his breathing becoming rapid. Now, Guo Xiaoxiao's resistance only further enraged him.

Guo Xiaoxiao's breathing became unsteady, and Mickson gradually lost control. His hand caressed her fair skin, leaving marks on her delicate skin.

"Mickson, no~~"

Guo Xiaoxiao pleaded, but he ignored her.

Left with no other choice, she activated the skill, silently reciting the Lion King's Heart.

I felt a power rising within me.

Mickelson's hand paused.

"You are mine"

Mickelson roared, and Guo Xiaoxiao was no longer afraid; instead, she felt boundless courage.

Just because I stayed for two days doesn't mean it's yours. What kind of logic is that? Do you think I'm eating and staying here for free? Fine, I'll just give you something in return.

Why…

It was still my fault. I shouldn't have lied to him for my own safety. I should have just made it clear that I was only staying for a short while and didn't want to leave.

Why did you promise to become a female or something back then?

"Let me go!"

Guo Xiaoxiao struggled desperately, but to no avail.

He glanced resentfully at Mickelson, who was already in the zone, and at his tattered clothes.

He opened his mouth and bit down hard on Miksen's pointed head, using all his strength. The orc's skin was very tough, and even with his best effort, he could only draw a tiny bit of blood.

Mickelson finally let go of her; he just wanted to change positions.

Guo Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity and quickly jumped away from Mickson; she had no intention of getting entangled with him.

"I won't be in a relationship with you, I won't date you! We're not a good match. I never intended to be with you; I was just trying to keep you around."

Wow, that feels so good! She finally said it! Guo Xiaoxiao would never have dared to say such a thing before. For some reason, a continuous force was surging within her, telling her that there was nothing to be afraid of. At worst, she would be a hero again in 18 years. What was there to fear even in death?

Is that really the case?

Upon hearing Guo Xiaoxiao's words, Mickson punched the wall, causing it to dent. He shook his arm and then moved closer to Guo Xiaoxiao.

"It's okay, you can't go anywhere anyway, and you can't escape."
