A Luo: "Cang Jue, lead the females back. It's too hot. Don't let them get sick from the heat. When you have time, come to my room to get some cooling herbs. Every female has received some. Take some back for Xiao Xiao."

Cang Jue: "Okay, I'll go in a bit. I've seen what the Cooling Grass looks like. I've taken Xiao Xiao back with me. I'll go get it myself. Don't bother me."

Guo Xiaoxiao hugged Carlos and wiped his sweat.

"Then I'm really leaving. You guys keep partying, I'm going to cool off first."

Amansa: "Ah, Xiaoxiao, if you stay out for a little longer, you'll have to leave again. Play a little longer, it's a bit hot, but it's fun."

Amansa loves being in the thick of things, and even when she's suffering from heatstroke, she wants to stay outside. Her masculine side has no choice but to give in to her, or else she'll start yelling and screaming.

Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't take it anymore and said, "I'll give up then. Sasha, you can have fun all you want. I'll come find you tomorrow, and we can play in the water in your room."

Amansa's water basin is also very large, enough to hold several people. The male even prepared a small "swimming pool" especially for her, but none of them are as big as the water basin in Guo Xiaoxiao's room, which is a super large water basin.

Seeing this, Arthur immediately took Guo Xiaoxiao into the room. He didn't want to stay in this kind of place anyway, so it was a good time to leave.

In a corner unseen by them, on the fourth floor above the grotto, a female was silently watching all of this.

Looking down at the people singing and dancing below, she couldn't help but sneer. Her smile was like a chilling wind, completely out of place with her beautiful face, instead making her appear sinister and cunning.

That's right, the person above is Irina, who has been demoted invisibly. Although she was in the right in that matter, her treatment has not improved since then. Orcs are really opportunists; they say nice things, but what they do in private is another matter entirely.

It seemed like they were speaking up for her, pitying her, and as soon as it ended, Xiongxiong rushed over wanting to pursue her. Irina repeatedly refused, and then he disappeared.

What's even more infuriating is that Fala did so much for him, bringing him food every day and chatting with him. Anyone with eyes could see she liked him, so why couldn't he see it?

Irina had hinted to Fale countless times that she wanted to become his partner, but he always shook his head and said that he was determined to live alone and didn't want to waste any more time on her.

Irina didn't know what Fala was thinking, but she was certain that Fala had truly wavered halfway through, and his plan to spend his life with her was just about to end when, as if suddenly enlightened, he began to reject her.

But it wasn't entirely fruitless; there was another male named Shilin, who also had a four-star ring.

The first time I saw her was when she was at her most vulnerable. Irina thought Shilin wouldn't be interested in her and was so focused on winning over Falai that she ignored him. But Shilin was more persistent than the other males. He kept sending her things and flowers and kept praising her beauty.

With his 4-star strength, Irina gradually began to treat him differently. The remaining two males stopped trying to stop him. They desperately needed a strong male to keep things under control, otherwise they wouldn't be able to protect Irina if she was bullied again. They had come to terms with it; there were only two males, so adding another one wouldn't be a big deal.

Since that incident, Irina has become very distant from them, feeling that she shouldn't choose a weak male, as it seems pointless to do so.

But in reality, both of them are quite strong, being three-star and two-star ring experts respectively, making them elites among elites. It's just that they were powerless against Arthur. Under normal circumstances, they could unleash their true strength.

Irina couldn't see it. She only felt that they hadn't done anything when she was being bullied. But she wouldn't abuse the males; it was just passive-aggressive behavior. She would reduce her interaction with them, but they would still respond if someone wanted to say a few words to her.

If we disregard her personality, Irina is a very rational and intelligent female in terms of intelligence; she was just blinded and unable to find her own light.

Once someone gets stuck in a rut, they can't get out. If you call it ambition, it's useless if you achieve it by harming others. You might say she's not ambitious, but she's determined to reach the top, and she's put in a lot of effort for it and is also skilled in interpersonal relationships.

She gets along well with everyone, but sometimes she can't stand Guo Xiaoxiao. The disgust she feels from the bottom of her heart cannot be perfectly faked.

He was just one step away from conquering Shilin with Irina, and he dared not slack off for a moment; it was a matter of life and death.

He pushed all the tasks Arthur assigned to him onto Falley, saying that he wanted to pursue females and that he was old enough to have a family, so Falley should bear with him.

Falai remained silent and completely accepted the situation. He had his own way of shirking responsibility; he just needed to offer some incentives to get the orcs to do the work.

Arthur is a guy who only cares about results and not the process. He's easy to deal with. As long as the task assigned to him is completed perfectly, he generally won't interfere.

But Arthur shifted his attention from the stone forest to him, and his gaze towards him changed, as if to say, "This young man is teachable, a promising talent."

She would praise him for ages over the smallest things, and even said that he should stick to his ideals and not change his ways like Shi Lin once he entered the cave. She had originally agreed with Arthur that they would assist him and become his right-hand men, but she only persisted for two days.

He's completely bewitched by Irina. Doesn't the Stone Forest know that Arthur dislikes Irina? Sigh, but Arthur doesn't want to go either, to cause trouble over a female.

After looking at them all, Fala is still the most pleasing to the eye. Look at how the beautiful Irina couldn't seduce him no matter how hard she tried; he must just want to become stronger and ignore females.
