Mickson asked anxiously, "How does it compare to Cang Jue?"

Looking at Mickelson's expectant eyes, Guo Xiaoxiao gave a perfunctory reply.

"You're more capable."

"hehe"

Mickelson smiled happily, hugged her tightly, and sniffed her neck.

"It smells so good!"

"..."

Guo Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. After the two got up, washed up, and used the toilet, they sat down and ate some fruit.

Mickson had prepared the plot of land outside the cave. Ever since Guo Xiaoxiao mentioned planting, he had maintained it very well, though he didn't know what he would plant it for—they didn't eat vegetables anyway. Perhaps it was just for the females to pass the time.

Guo Xiaoxiao decided to plant something soon to complete her task.

Around noon, the beastmen of the Sishui tribe arrived at the Yushan tribe under the leadership of Cangjue. Before Mikesen could tell all the beastmen, he thought there would be trouble. When he arrived at the scene, Monet and Miker had already taken care of everything, so he didn't need to worry about it at all.

Cang Jue packed up his valuables overnight and acted immediately. The land that Mikeson found for them was suitable for their living habits. The forest at the foot of the mountain behind them had huge trees that were enough for them to build a wooden house.

This migration could no longer be kept secret after the two tribes merged; all the other orc tribes knew about it, and the Sishui tribe moved to the location of the Yushan tribe to settle down.

Miksen and Cangjue had said that apart from discussing resource allocation issues together, they would manage their own affairs and not interfere with each other.

Cang Jue gave a few instructions to his clansmen, then immediately ran to find Guo Xiaoxiao. Guo Xiaoxiao was standing by the land, deep in thought about how to get the corn seeds, when Cang Jue approached her.

"Xiaoxiao, have you missed me?"

"No"

"As expected, Cang Jue is all smiles and grins from the moment he arrives," Guo Xiaoxiao replied indifferently.

"You're lying, you definitely missed me."

Cang Jue laughed loudly, grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao's arm, and pulled her forcefully into his embrace. His smile widened as he pinched her cheek and said...

"Tell me, what happened last night with Mickelson? Who felt better?"

Guo Xiaoxiao stomped on him several times.

"Speechless now, huh?"

"Ouch, Xiaoxiao, that's not fair! I'm just asking. If I didn't do it right, you can't just correct my posture!"

Cang Jue winced in pain, released her, and said aggrievedly.

Guo Xiaoxiao rubbed her cheeks and glared at him.

"Stop fooling around, I'm busy."

Cang Jue: "What are you busy with?"

Guo Xiaoxiao said, "I'm thinking about where to get some corn seeds and plant some."

Cang Jue didn't know what Guo Xiaoxiao meant by "planting corn" and said, "Planting corn? What's corn? It's almost winter, it won't survive."

"It can survive; it's a very special kind of plant."

Guo Xiaoxiao casually explained that she actually still had the energy-recharging potion on her body and was thinking of using it to speed up the planting process.

"Um...are you sure?"

Cang Jue frowned in thought.

Guo Xiaoxiao had a sudden inspiration and said, "I'm sure. Why don't we go ask the other orcs if they have any corn seeds?"

Cang Jue took her hand

"Okay, I'll take you to the Jumping Orcs and ask. They love growing vegetables, so they should have the seeds you need. But why would a female like you grow vegetables? Why aren't you having fun all day, always thinking about this and that?"

Cang Jue's expression shifted to one of disappointment and frustration. In the male's mind, females lived carefree lives, enjoying good food, drink, and fun, without needing to toil for a living; farming was hard work.

Guo Xiaoxiao found it amusing. "If females just play all day, won't they become useless?" she said.

"Since I'm just killing time anyway! It's fun to do things myself!"

Cang Jue mimicked Guo Xiaoxiao's usual angry expression, rolling his eyelids upwards.

"Yeah, you're just bored out of your mind!"

Guo Xiaoxiao was displeased and retorted, "You're the one with a problem, your whole family has a problem!"

When Mickelson arrived after finishing his business at the stadium, he witnessed this scene. The two were chatting noisily, but it was very harmonious, and they seemed to have a very good relationship.

He walked over and looked at the two of them.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, Cang Jue and I were just arguing."

Guo Xiaoxiao smiled and pointed at Cang Jue, saying...

Mickelson: "..."

Cang Jue smiled and raised his eyebrows defiantly at him, then turned to fawn over Guo Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, are you hungry? Let's have a barbecue together later."

"Okay, but we need to find the seeds first."

Guo Xiaoxiao replied indifferently

"Don't eat what he brought, Xiaoxiao, I'll grill some meat for you."

Mickelson said coldly, his bad mood obvious; he hadn't accepted Cang Jue from the bottom of his heart.

Cang Jue pursed his lips. "Is he a jealous person?! He's already Guo Xiaoxiao's partner, and he's still so jealous!"

"What, you've divided up the food you brought? Your people can eat it, but Xiaoxiao isn't allowed to?"

Mickelson choked on his words; though that was true, it was just too much of an eyesore.

Cang Jue continued triumphantly.

“I am also Xiaoxiao’s partner. Your cave ceased to be yours the moment we became partners; it belonged to Xiaoxiao. Even if I wanted to move in, you have no right to stop me.”

"Cang Jue! I'll repeat myself, you're only staying at Yushan temporarily. We agreed that once we defeat the Black Tooth Tribe, you'll go back to where you came from. Don't even think about staying here."

Mickelson warned with a dark face, and Guo Xiaoxiao, seeing the situation was turning sour, jumped in to smooth things over. She wasn't sure how the negotiations had taken place, but she wanted them to get along well. She spoke in a gentle voice.

“Miksen, since we’re all from the same tribe now, why be so petty? Cangjue is actually a very nice person, easy to get along with. Be more magnanimous and don’t take it to heart. He’s just a smart aleck, nothing serious.”

Mickelson felt heartbroken listening to Guo Xiaoxiao speak up for Cang Jue, but he held back, after all, it was Guo Xiaoxiao's choice, and she was a genuine female mate.

Is he more important to you than I am?

Of course not.

Guo Xiaoxiao could conclude without thinking that Miksen was the first orc she encountered in the Beast World, and he was extremely important to her.

"Then why did you just say he was good?"

Mickelson asked coyly, ignoring Guo Xiaoxiao's comment about Cang Jue's sharp tongue; he only heard that Cang Jue was a nice person, without any problems, easy to get along with—every word was a compliment.

"Forehead……"

Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't answer.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Cang Jue felt extremely pleased to see Mikesen looking so humiliated and submissive; it was hilarious.

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't answer Mickelson directly, and instead changed the subject.

“Mickson, I remember we passed a river a while ago, and I was planning to try planting corn by the river. Do you think we should go find some seeds now?”

Cang Jue, lacking discernment, blurted out...

"Didn't we already choose a spot outside the cave? This place is perfect since the lions have dug it up. Let's stay here and not change locations."

Guo Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him speechlessly; if she didn't speak, no one would assume she was mute.
