Thousand Nights' inner universe erupted in fury.

"That's outrageous! You promised to wait for me to come back. I went all the way to the Southern Hemisphere to pick you up, endured so much hardship, and still ended up behind him in line. How long have you even known him?"

Qianye met Linzhi three months later than Mikel, and Mikel was also later in the sequence. It wasn't just a matter of order; it was a matter of importance in the female's heart, affecting their future lives.

Lin Zhi knew she was in the wrong: "That's why I apologize to you. It was my fault. You can get married anytime you want, how about tomorrow? I'm too tired today."

Qianye persisted, "I'm fed up. In your heart, I'm definitely not as good as him. Linzhi... you can't treat me like this!"

Lin Zhi said kindly, "Who said that? I value you highly. You can swim and breathe in the sea. Stop joking, everyone's watching."

Lin Zhi appears very gentle in front of outsiders, but she actually cares a lot about her image and doesn't want others to laugh at her family's affairs.

Guo Xiaoxiao and the others tacitly understood that they had previously argued and fought over mating order, which was also determined by strength.

How could a large family not argue and fight? It's all men, and their high testosterone levels make them explode, especially when it comes to women—they won't back down an inch.

Every time, a mediator is needed, otherwise the fight will escalate to the death. Arthur is alright; he prefers to use his fists rather than his words. If someone is dissatisfied, he'll fight until they submit.

Arthur is adept at handling family issues. Before Arthur joined the family, Miken and Cang Jue often argued, and she couldn't stop them. Now they argue much less.

Qianye, oblivious to subtle cues, wouldn't let go of the problem.

"No, I really don't understand. I should be in front! It's so annoying!"

To be honest, Qianye's personality is a bit effeminate in some ways. Guo Xiaoxiao once saw Qianye fixing his hair and applying some kind of powder to his face in front of a large basin of water—probably some kind of beauty product. He lives too refined a life.

He had a pleasant, mild fragrance, like the kind of cologne modern men wear, but it was light and not overpowering.

Her long hair remained incredibly smooth, and she washed her robes and body with water every night.

For convenience, Guo Xiaoxiao showers every two days, while Qianye showers every day, neither of them finding it troublesome at all.

Lin Zhi patiently said, "Okay, okay, I know you're annoyed, let's talk about it when we get back, okay?"

When Qianye's temper flared up, she became spoiled and pampered.

"No, not at all. Make sure Mikel doesn't appear in front of me until I've calmed down."

As the older brother, Mickelson was unhappy and stood up to say...

"It's a female's choice who she wants to mate with; is it necessary for you to target Mikel?"

Mikel pulled Mikeson

"It's alright, Linzhi will handle it. She won't agree to Qianye's conditions."

Really? It seems Linzhi dotes on Qianye. As her family, Mikel is worried that he might be bullied in the Northern Hemisphere. He's unfamiliar with the area and joining a new tribe would leave him with nowhere to go.

It's the older brother's love for his younger brother!

Lin Zhi: "Mikel is a member of our family. He's with me every day. You have to see him eventually. Why don't you let him show up in front of you?"

Guo Xiaoxiao tried to smooth things over: "Linzhi said she can get married tomorrow, you should be happy, stop paying attention to Mikel."

Qianye: "Who cares about him? I get annoyed just looking at him. He cuts in line. Who does he think he is? I am the king of the Great Ocean Clan, a five-star ring beast, while he has only broken through to the four-star ring. How can he compare to me?"

He puts on quite a show of arrogance. He's unmatched at sea, but on land, someone with five-star strength can't really unleash their full potential. Going to fight Mikel, he could at best only manage a draw.

Lin Zhi continued to comfort her, saying, "Don't be angry, everyone's watching us."

Qianye got carried away: "Look, let them see! It's so unfair! Get Mikel out of here right now!"

Continuing her rambling: "There should be a limit to favoritism. You've left me hanging and ignored me completely. Linzhi, I'm so disappointed in you, I'm heartbroken."

"It's always like this. As soon as I calm down, they run off to be all lovey-dovey with other people, completely ignoring me."

Lin Zhi listened quietly, head bowed, but as he spoke, his expression gradually turned terrifying. Qian Ye didn't notice and continued reciting...

"Why do you have to provoke me? Is it fun?" "I don't think you even like me."

"This female has such a good temper," Arthur and the others thought to themselves.

However… Lin Zhi couldn't stand it anymore. Qian Ye's unreasonable behavior was delaying her from discussing important matters. Lin Zhi grabbed a stone bowl from the ground and smashed it against Qian Ye's body with a shrill sound.

"Get out, get out of here! Go back to the sea and show off your coral. Don't bother seeing me again. Go find Ji Xing and get a few red crystals as your reward. We're even. Mikel, come on, spear this fish out of here!"

Everyone except Mikel was taken aback, thinking that Linzhi was usually very gentle, but suddenly she became irritable.

Mikel was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran forward, grabbed Qianye, and dragged her outside.

Seeing this, Qianye struggled fiercely: "Let me go, Linzhi, don't be angry, I was just joking with you, please stop!!"

The more Qianye shouted, the angrier Linzhi became, and Mikel dared not let go of her grip.

"I tried to reason with you, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened!"

Regardless of whether Qianye wanted to or not, he dragged him out. Miksen followed to watch, worried that Mikkel might not be able to beat him in a fight, so he wanted to lend a hand.

Guo Xiaoxiao quickly persuaded Linzhi

"Okay, okay, he's gone. Calm down."

Lin Zhi's complexion returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, before her expression turned serious.

"Xiaoxiao, I heard from the system that you have a way to stop the tree from moving."

Guo Xiaoxiao never mentioned the word "system" in front of them, but it didn't matter; they didn't know what it was anyway, and if asked, she would just give them any explanation.

"Yes, I have a skill called 'No Cost,' which can drive conscious objects insane. It's perfect for countering those moving trees and cutting off the orcs' control from behind."

"I named the moving tree 'Tree Spirit,' it's easy to pronounce."

Lin Zhi responded, "You've been attacked before, haven't you? You think you can defend yourself with this skill? Have you ever seen any orcs who control trees?"

Everyone knows there's such a person, but no one knows exactly who he is. The system didn't say either, only that he's an unfamiliar orc.

Arthur: "Never seen him before. If I had, would I have let him leave? I would have just pinned him down and killed him."

Linzhi nodded

"Yes, we must find this person and kill him, otherwise the entire forest of tribes will become his playthings. But there's one thing I don't understand: he mainly attacks our Noah tribe. I've racked my brains but still can't figure out who offended him."

Guo Xiaoxiao: "Think about it again. Ask any of your males if they've offended any orcs with special skills."

Lin Zhi: "We've offended quite a few people, but there aren't any orcs with this skill. There are only a handful of orcs who have inherited this skill, and most of them become chieftains. None of the chieftains in the Northern Hemisphere can control trees."

Guo Xiaoxiao: That's strange. Why were they chasing after you and hitting you? There must be a reason.

Could it be… Guo Xiaoxiao thought of a reason. She glanced at Carlos and whispered in Lin Zhi's ear.

"When you came to the Beast World, did you ever reject any orcs who courted you? The more extreme kind, those who, unable to win your love, turned to hatred and wanted to kill everyone else to possess you alone?"
