"Ugh, how annoying~~"

"Xiaoxiao, you're still so shy. I've already seen it, are you still afraid?"

When Arthur heard that soft, sweet voice again, his muscles tensed, and he felt deeply insulted.

He came up with a plan: to wipe them all out in one fell swoop, seize control of the Yushan tribe, and consider today the end of it.

Arthur transformed into his beast form and left Mount Yu.

Mikson returned with the feather; Arthur had vanished without a trace. Had he really left so easily? Without thinking twice, he hurried back to the cave.

"Let go, let go!"

Guo Xiaoxiao clung tightly to the animal skin skirt, refusing to let go, while Cang Jue also grabbed her with one hand.

"Xiaoxiao, be good, I'll clean it for you, otherwise the smell will be too strong and attract other beastmen."

Asking Cang Jue to help wipe away menstrual blood? That's too much to bear! Guo Xiaoxiao vehemently refused.

No, I can wipe it myself.

"How long are you going to keep wiping, sweetie? I'll wipe it for you."

Cang Jue continued to persuade her, completely unaware of anything unusual about Guo Xiaoxiao. He had been so stunned by her beauty during their first meeting that he hadn't noticed she was in heat; he didn't know this was her second time being in heat.

Mickson walked in carrying a flying beast feather. This was a large bird, about the size of a chicken, whose feathers were absorbent and used by females as padding during their mating season.

Seeing that Cang Jue was still relentlessly tugging at her skirt, as if he were trying to clean up her menstrual blood, Guo Xiaoxiao issued a final warning.

"stop"

Cang Jue seemed not to hear, overwhelmed by the scent—a maddening body odor, truly befitting the smell emitted by a female in heat.

"Then I won't hold back!" Guo Xiaoxiao raised her hand and slapped Cang Jue across the face.

"Smack!"

Cang Jue took the blow; Guo Xiaoxiao had slapped him hard, making his face turn to the left. He came to his senses, then stood there, rubbing his stinging right cheek.

Guo Xiaoxiao got angry and yelled at him

"Didn't you hear me say 'Stop'?"

Mikson walked over, placed the feather next to Guo Xiaoxiao, then grabbed Cang Jue by the back of the neck, pulled him up, and walked out of the cave, turning back to say...

"Xiaoxiao, I'll be waiting outside the door. That can be used as a sanitary napkin for you."

Cang Jue knew he had gone too far, and dared not struggle, letting Mikeson carry him away. Once outside the cave, he began to speak into it.

"Xiaoxiao, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I won't do it again..."

Guo Xiaoxiao, inside the cave, ignored him completely. Cang Jue always said the same thing; she was ignoring him. He never learned his lesson; he needed to be taught a lesson.

The cave was now empty, and Guo Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief; she was finally safe. She then changed into a pair of animal-hide underwear, stuffed it with flying beast feathers, and washed the filth off her legs with stored clean water.

After everything was tidied up, she was surprised to realize her blind spot: Arthur? Where was Arthur? Did he run away because he couldn't win?

Arthur sneezed halfway down the road, shook his head, and continued walking.

To prevent the other orcs from noticing his arousal scent, Miksen placed firewood outside the cave to roast the meat, creating a large cloud of smoke to mask the smell.

Cang Jue sat outside the door, hesitant to enter, but he didn't understand why Miksen was making such a mess; the air was bad. He said...

"Mickson, do you even know how to grill meat?"

"Shh!"

Mickelson gestured for him to be quiet so as not to disturb the house, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then whispered to him...

"Xiaoxiao is in heat for the second time."

"What"

A female only goes into heat once a year, so how could there be a second time? Cang Jue said.

"That's impossible, she couldn't possibly be in heat twice."

It's illogical. Although they are all male, the female orcs are very knowledgeable about their habits; no female would have two estrus cycles within a year.

Based on Guo Xiaoxiao's previous displays of psychic abilities, magic, and healing powers, his understanding of her identity became increasingly unclear. His silence didn't mean he didn't want to know. Of course, Mikeson didn't mind Guo Xiaoxiao's special abilities, but such a female was dangerous in the beast world. Monet certainly wouldn't go around telling everyone, but it was a different story with other beastmen—what if she were discovered?

After thinking it over, Miksen decided to tell Cang Jue, speaking in a low voice.

"Xiaoxiao has a secret; she knows witchcraft. The healing potion she made last time was created using witchcraft. In short, we must protect her well, and be especially wary of Arthur."

Cang Jue was somewhat skeptical. A female, if she knew witchcraft, wouldn't she be a great witch? He still considered the healing potion to be Yu Shan's exclusive secret recipe, never connecting it to Guo Xiaoxiao. He said with a hint of doubt...

"Did she tell you?"

Mickson fiddled with the burning branches, creating smoke, and said...

“I saw it with my own eyes, and Monet saw it too. I have no reason to lie to you. The reason I'm telling you is simply so that you'll take her more seriously and protect her.”

A few words weren't enough to gain Cang Jue's trust, but when Guo Xiaoxiao spoke to him personally, he began to believe her to some extent.

Cang Jue remained silent, his eyes revealing deep suspicion. Miken knew it wouldn't be so easy to convince Cang Jue. He used his bone knife to make a cut on the back of his hand, and bright red blood slid down his wrist.

"Xiaoxiao, are you done?"

"alright!"

Guo Xiaoxiao tidied herself up and stepped out of the cave. Two people were grilling meat at the entrance. Her gaze was drawn to the wound on Mickson's hand, and she asked with concern...

"Mickelson, are you injured?"

How come she didn't see it? It must have been her oversight. Guo Xiaoxiao blew on the bloodstain with heartache.

Mickelson nodded, feeling a pang of guilt for deceiving Guo Xiaoxiao. He wiped away the blood that had flowed out and said...

"I got a minor injury from fighting Arthur, but it's nothing serious. Could you use your healing spell to heal me?"
