Xiao Lu knew what Xiao He liked to eat and what kind of clothes she liked to wear. She also knew when Xiao He was feeling unwell. "Uncle, I know you're angry. The problem is, you're going to marry off your daughter anyway. Why can't you let her marry someone you can control, just like me, someone who can't escape your grasp?"

Shi Hu was willing to listen to what Dongfang Long had to say. Dongfang Long was currently an outsider in this base. If he offended his daughter, he would be punished by Shi Hu. If Shi Hu couldn't punish him, he would find people to gang up on him.

“Look, if another beastman marries Xiaohe, and something happens, you won’t be able to change it. Even if you become a live-in son-in-law, it’s their business. But it’s different when Xiaolu and Xiaohe are together. He’s a live-in son-in-law. As for his current status, although he’s still a slave, he’s become a beastman. Let him go and experience the beastman transformation. When he marries your daughter, you won’t lose out…”

Upon hearing this, Shi Hu decided against going. His daughter had been taken away, and he was heartbroken. He was persuaded, but still wouldn't budge. However, when he looked at Xiao He, he said, "You brat, come here..."

Xiaohe was startled, her eyes slightly red, and stood in front of Shi Hu. "Dad, I like Brother Xiaolu." Looking at Shi Hu, she said, "I know you're angry, but I still like him..."

"You brat!" Upon hearing this, Shi Hu was furious and almost threw something at Xiao He. "Have you thought this through?"

"Yes, Dad, I've thought it through. The orc I want is one who's good to me and protects me. I'm scared when I'm home alone, but Little Deer is there for me. He's very good to me."

"Am I not good to you?" Shi Hu asked. Xiao He immediately shook her head. Shi Hu looked at Xiao He and felt a little helpless. Compared to Haitang, Xiao He was more like his first wife. Looking at her appearance, he couldn't help but soften.
