"You two stay with Xiaoxiao, I'll take care of Cang Jue."
It sounded like she was going to kill him, but Guo Xiaoxiao made up her mind. It was just Arthur; if she could tame him, her home would be secure.
Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly yelled at Arthur
"No, listen to me. This 30-day no-mating period is my decision. From now on, I'm in charge of this household. If you dare disagree..."
Um, Guo Xiaoxiao looked up and thought for a moment before saying...
"I...I'm not going to talk to you anymore."
Oh dear, after going out for a while, his temper has gotten worse; even Arthur was amused by his antics.
"Ha, that's a pretty big threat. Fine, I'll wait until you ignore me."
Then he said to Cang Jue, "Get out."
I'm serious.
Guo Xiaoxiao grew anxious. Arthur always preferred to solve problems with force; this hot-tempered guy had to be taught a lesson.
"What you're saying is true, I understand."
Arthur remained obstinate, Guo Xiaoxiao said.
"You...I...you're bullying me."
Seeing her aggrieved expression, Arthur agreed to anything except this one thing: his rules had been broken, and things would fall into chaos.
I'll reason with Guo Xiaoxiao properly later and coax her a bit more.
Guo Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Mickson and Randy.
They both lowered their heads, avoiding eye contact with Guo Xiaoxiao. Their thoughts were clear: they were on Arthur's side.
Is she Arthur's partner or her partner? She might as well just live with Arthur.
"Xiaoxiao, don't worry. I'll go out with him. Don't worry, I'm a five-star beastman, no worse than him."
Cang Jue puffed out his chest and stood up, ready to "spar." He was looking forward to a duel with him, as he had always been bullied by him and wanted to finally get his revenge.
Arthur gave him a defiant glare, and Cang glared back defiantly.
Guo Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth. Her words were like water spilled; she was determined to see it through. She sternly said to Cang Jue...
"I told you to listen to me. Did I tell you to go out with him? Sit back down."
"???"
Cang Jue was stunned, and Guo Xiaoxiao said again
"Didn't you hear me say 'sit back down'? You dare get up..."
Guo Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and thought for a moment before saying...
"I really won't mate with you for a year, and I won't have any babies with you."
Huh?! Upon hearing this, Cang Jue plopped down instantly, leaving Mickson and Randy standing by like outsiders, with no right to speak.
They were all waiting to see how Arthur would respond.
Arthur took a deep breath, suppressing the raging anger within him, and said...
"Xiaoxiao, stop fooling around."
Guo Xiaoxiao glanced to the side, still not daring to look Arthur in the eye.
"I... I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth. Starting today, you don't need to worry about the mating order anymore, I'll arrange it all."
Arthur clenched his fists, forcing himself to endure.
"Xiaoxiao... if you keep being willful, I'm going to get angry!"
Cang Jue retorted to Arthur's words, "Come at me, don't get angry at her!"
Arthur's resentful tone was filled with rage.
"I didn't tell you to speak, so shut up."
Oh my god, Arthur is so scary! Even now, Guo Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and refused to budge, determined to force Arthur to agree.
"I'm telling you this: if you don't accept it, don't blame me. Go calm down and think it through before you come back."
After those words were spoken, the room fell completely silent. Everyone looked at Arthur, wondering what it meant. Had they kicked Arthur out?
Cang Jue felt a warmth in his heart. The Beast God Stele must have been wrong. Look how good Xiao Xiao is to me! She'd rather drive Arthur away than not protect him. True love!
Seeing that Guo Xiaoxiao was so determined, Mickson and Randy dared not offer any more opinions.
"good…"
Arthur's blood boiled. He had never been so humiliated by a female; perhaps he had truly spoiled Guo Xiaoxiao too much.
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Arthur grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao around the waist, then ran out of the castle and quickly left.
Mickelson, Randy, and the others were stunned. Where could they have taken him? They immediately rushed out to give chase... but it was too late; he was gone.
Arthur carried Guo Xiaoxiao into a cave.
Guo Xiaoxiao was dizzy and disoriented from being jostled around. What was he going to do now? Seeing Arthur's menacing aura and the fierce glint in his eyes, she shrank back in fear, her legs clamped tightly together.
"I was wrong"
Guo Xiaoxiao immediately backed down. Arthur was furious, and she figured she could only avoid him if she couldn't afford to offend him.
"Where did we go wrong?"
“…”
Wait, she's right. Guo Xiaoxiao, you have to hold on! Don't let all your efforts go to waste. Don't let Arthur's imposing manner intimidate you again. If you go back, everything will be over. Didn't you want to turn things around? As long as you win over Arthur, you'll be the head of the household.
What can he do even if he's angry? He won't hit you.
Guo Xiaoxiao cheered herself up and then said
I did nothing wrong.
Arthur stared at her grimly. Was she really going to rebel? Fine, if that's the case, he'd teach her a lesson.
Arthur reached out and grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao's collar, tearing it apart violently.
"Waaaaah~~~~"
"what you do?"
Do what you love.
Guo Xiaoxiao cried out and tried to escape, but it was too late. Arthur carried her to the center of the cave and leaned down towards her.
"Let go of me, Arthur. Let's talk this out. Don't solve problems this way. I don't like it."
"Hmm? Weren't you quite assertive just now? Why did you back down, hmm?"
Spreading his legs apart, Arthur questioned, without stopping his actions, and continued...
"You shouldn't interfere in male affairs. Males are determined by strength, and I've arranged everything. Those who break the rules should be punished. I'll make you remember who your strongest male is."
"I deserve the most rights to marry, don't go against me."
"Then... I can't even refuse in the most basic way? I can't even say I don't want to?"
When Guo Xiaoxiao finally realized the problem, Arthur had arranged everything for her perfectly; everything had to be approved by him.
Arthur remained silent; he did indeed want to do that.
Guo Xiaoxiao used to be very obedient and always listened to Arthur. Besides, Arthur was rather domineering and autocratic, and she was a little afraid of him, so she simply left him alone to save trouble.
The overlooked issues were magnified infinitely, and Guo Xiaoxiao felt that in Arthur's eyes she was really just a female, and that female could be anyone.
It just so happened that she chose him as her partner, so even she was controlled. But recalling their experience in Yushan, Arthur gave up his dream of power and stayed with her in the cave, enduring the agonizing days without complaint.
Perhaps she misunderstood. Arthur is usually good at expressing his feelings, so it's possible he misspoke.
Guo Xiaoxiao said again
"Arthur, let's not do this, okay? Get off me first, and I'll talk to you properly."
Is this your attitude of begging for mercy?
As Arthur spoke, his breath hit Guo Xiaoxiao's face, showing no intention of letting her off the hook. Guo Xiaoxiao turned her face away, pushing him away with a cold and slightly angry expression.
"I'm tired. I don't want to mate with you today. Get off me right now."
Arthur stopped moving, propped himself up, and looked at her. He suddenly realized that he didn't quite understand what kind of female Guo Xiaoxiao was; she seemed to be constantly changing.
