She wanted to go out, but Xiao Ni was the top dog in front of Cang Jue, and she didn't want to bring any stain to his reputation.

Xiao Ni: "Didn't Sasha tell you to wait a few more days? Once things are more stable outside, I'll definitely take you out."

Amansa: "Wait, wait, how long do I have to wait? You say that every time, I'm sick of hearing it. Just tell me how many days it will take to confirm, and I'll wait again."

Xiao Ni was in a dilemma: "I'm doing this for your safety, you see..."

Wu and Randy ran away and were surrounded. We ran to rescue her.

Amansa: "Even if you don't go to rescue her, Xiaoxiao can handle it all by herself. She's got the power to command the wind and rain; which male could stand against her?"

Guo Xiaoxiao's thought was to run if possible, not necessarily with strong winds and heavy rain. If the enemy surrounded her and Randy within a certain area, they might get injured by the hail.

Guo Xiaoxiao completely understood Amansa's desire to go out and play; she herself was always thinking about running around, let alone the energetic and adventurous Amansa.

We can't let our guard down, or we'll suffer a terrible fate. Being surrounded is ridiculous, but the most dramatic part is that the enemy leader has turned into one of our own.

The leader of the group called Stone Forest actually works under Arthur; what a small world!

Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't directly refuse Amansa, so he used a delaying tactic to get rid of her. He would also talk to Arthur about this issue, suggesting that females who wanted to go out should have males accompany them in groups.

It's good for everyone to enjoy their own little world, go play in the water or take a walk.

There's no guarantee Arthur will agree. Arthur is quite stubborn in some ways, and given this situation, it might be difficult to persuade him.

"I'll talk to him, and if he agrees, we can go out and have fun together, okay?"

Amansa: "Really? That's great! You must tell him right away."

"I know, I know, don't worry."

Carlos: "You still want to run away?"

Guo Xiaoxiao tugged at Carlos's robe.

"Let's go out and play for a while, don't say anything yet."

Carlos, trying to avoid Guo Xiaoxiao's presence, still sighed.

"Don't go out alone anymore."

Guo Xiaoxiao: "I've never gone out alone, you guys have always been with me."

Carlos: "There are too many migrating orcs, so it's no different for you to go out alone."

Guo Xiaoxiao: "Okay, okay, I know, I'll go out alone."

Amansa: "That means it's not up to you, it's up to Arthur."

The cave was Carlos's hometown, and hearing this still made him feel uneasy. Who exactly took you in? But whatever, he didn't want to get involved in those troublesome matters. He'd let Arthur handle it; he liked being in charge.

Guo Xiaoxiao chuckled and pulled Carlos aside, saying that he'd probably need to take another shower that night after being exposed to the sandstorm.

A month later, summer finally arrived.

...

…

Guo Xiaoxiao experienced firsthand what it meant to be in a furnace. The ultraviolet radiation was many times stronger than it was now. You could stand outside and be so hot you couldn't even open your eyes; it was blindingly bright.

If you stand there for even a short while, sweat will drip into your eyes.

Carlos had spent countless summers on the Forgotten Continent and had grown accustomed to the climate.

They were used to the heat in the cave, but it was really killing Guo Xiaoxiao. She had to take a bath five times a day: twice in the morning, twice at noon, and once in the evening.

Simply soaking in the water without getting out to lower the temperature will make it feel very cool after a while.

The other females are the same; they are already plump and can't stand the heat. The males try their best to cool the females down, and they spend most of their time soaking in the water.

Guo Xiaoxiao originally thought that only she couldn't stand it, and even Arthur Mikson couldn't stand it, since there were forests as cover in the ancient continent.

Inside the grotto, you're exposed to the blazing sun with nowhere to hide, and you'll get heatstroke as soon as you start to sleep.

Only Carlos remained calm. Snakes must be afraid of heat, as too much heat would affect their metabolism.

The baby snakes were so hot that they wouldn't come out of the water, but Carlos was fine. Are there different kinds of snakes?

Carlos's hair had grown long, so he cut it much shorter for easier handling.

"I'm not an ordinary snake. I can survive hibernation, so this little bit of heat is nothing to me."

Wow!! In the summer, Carlos became the emperor's favorite, and he had to sleep with him every night.

The natural cooling effect was quite enviable to the males, but they were also very hot and couldn't cool her down. Hugging her would only add to their troubles.

Today, after Guo Xiaoxiao finished breakfast and fed the baby, she routinely soaked in the water, while Miksen and Cang Jue remained in the room.

Soaking in the large basin of water with Guo Xiaoxiao, Guo Xiaoxiao was no longer embarrassed, understanding that they were also feeling uncomfortable.

Once in the water, Cangjue started getting restless, wanting to touch and grope.

"Cang, you absolutely can't! I'm so hot I feel like hitting someone. Don't get into my line of fire."

Mickelson was more polite; he was lying on the edge of the basin, enjoying the coolness.

No, I just wanted to get closer to you.

Guo Xiaoxiao: "I don't want to be close to you, I hate you so much."

Mikson pulled Guo Xiaoxiao in his direction, away from Cangjue.

"It's so hot, why don't you go outside?"

Cang Jue: "Why should I go out?"

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't want to see the two of them arguing during her leisure time, so she changed the subject.

"Oh, right, I haven't seen Irina for a month. Is she still in the cave?"

Just mentioning the name Cang Jue makes me feel uneasy.

"Yes, she's here. How could she bear to leave? She's hiding in her room and won't come out. The center will bring her food. You still care about her?"

Guo Xiaoxiao: "I don't care about her at all. I'm just wondering, even though no evidence has been found, the orcs are still biased towards her, so why has she shut herself off?"
