"You actually thought of giving Xiaoxiao poison? Don't ever show your face in front of her again, or I'll beat you every time I see you."
Cang Jue blocked the cave entrance, preventing Randy from seeing what was inside. Randy had made a mistake he couldn't explain.
Wen Yi caught his breath and, seeing Randy struggling, said a few words in his defense.
"Randy doesn't know anything about herbs. I spoke too slowly and he didn't hear me. He's worried about the female, so he should ask her opinion. Why are you, a male, hindering Randy from showing any goodwill?"
Cang Jue's approach was also inappropriate. Randy shook his head, indicating he didn't care; to win Guo Xiaoxiao's heart, he needed to cultivate good relationships with his males.
Wen Yi took out the herbs from his waist pouch; they were genuine herbs for treating stomach and intestinal problems.
"Here, Randy, take this and offer it to the female."
Cang Jue was indignant: "No need, we have herbs, why would we need yours? Take it back and don't come back."
Randy: "Wenyi, you should go back to our territory first."
Wen Yi couldn't stand Cang Jue's arrogant attitude. "He's just one of the males," he said, "he can't finish his food."
"It's a cause for celebration that Randy has joined you. You know, he's the youngest five-star ring beastman on the continent right now. You couldn't find one like him even with a lantern. The females in the tribe are all clinging to Randy and showing him their love, but he won't even glance at them. Now that he's finally taken a liking to one of your females, you're pushing her away and rejecting her. Have you lost your minds?"
"No need for empty threats," Randy said. "Go back now, stop talking."
Cang Jue, hands in his pockets, said nonchalantly, "We still have a Reverse Star Ring Beastman, I don't even want to mention him."
"Reverse star ring?"
Wen Yi looked puzzled.
Randy and Abil didn't tell their tribe that Arthur was still alive, fearing that some hot-blooded young orcs might cause trouble. It was better to unite against a common enemy in times of crisis.
Miksen and Cangjue also kept a low profile within the tribe, while Arthur and his old followers busied themselves with various matters, ensuring that the Star Ring remained undetected and that everyone handled their own affairs independently.
Everyone turned a blind eye; at this time, it was better to win Arthur over than to become his enemy—a tacit understanding everyone shared.
"go back"
The Randy family's tone was imperative.
Wen Yi paused, lost in thought, and upon hearing Randy's words, slowly moved away, disappearing from their sight.
"What exactly are you thinking? If you don't give us your opinion on Randy's matter, I'll go out there and beat you to death. Don't blame me."
Arthur walked up to Guo Xiaoxiao and said that as long as the female's attitude is unclear, the male will continue to misunderstand and keep pursuing her.
No matter how much the male isolates the woman, she will only think it's because the male is unwilling; the real deciding factor is the female herself.
"Don't do anything reckless, just chase them away, and don't let them fight anymore."
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't want them to have a fierce conflict with Randy. Her attitude was very clear, and she had explained it to Randy as well. It was Randy's own misunderstanding, so it wasn't her fault.
She dared not tell Arthur and the others that she had met with Randy in private, for fear of upsetting them.
Men can be more terrifying than women when they get angry and jealous.
"He'll come back even after we chase him away."
Then Arthur said to Mickson
"Why don't you go out and fight him again, completely subdue him, and win the duel? Then the male will have no face to appear before the female again."
If she's going to get another beating, then why did she pretend to have a stomachache for so long? Guo Xiaoxiao firmly disagreed.
"Don't hit him! He's injured. Mickson scratched him, and his stomach is bleeding. How can you do this?"
Hearing Guo Xiaoxiao's words, Micken Arthur's expression darkened considerably. Did he really like Randy?
"Don't overthink it. My relationship with him is completely innocent, and I don't like him."
Realizing something was wrong, Guo Xiaoxiao simply stood up and went outside.
"Cang Jue, get out of the way!"
Cang Jue turned his head to look at Guo Xiaoxiao
"You ran away?"
Guo Xiaoxiao: "I need to see Randy. Step aside, I just need to say a few words."
Cang Jue lost his temper: "What do you have to say to him? I'll tell you to go back to bed. Mickson, take Xiaoxiao back."
Guo Xiaoxiao: "No, get out of the way!"
Seeing that Guo Xiaoxiao had made up her mind, Arthur gave the instructions.
"Cang Jue, step aside and let them meet."
Cang reluctantly rubbed for a couple of seconds, clearing the entrance for Guo Xiaoxiao.
Randy's eyes flickered a few times when he saw her come out.
"How are you?"
Instead of answering his question directly, Guo Xiaoxiao sternly rejected Randy's affections in front of Mickson and the others.
"Randy, don't come looking for me again. I won't like you, nor will I like any orcs. My only males are those three. Give up on me."
Randy gave a wry smile: "You still think I'm not good enough?"
"No, you are excellent, but I don't like you. Please stop bothering me. I'm sorry."
Guo Xiaoxiao paused for a moment and then said
"I'm already very content with having these three males in my life. Relationships are reciprocal; they've been so good to me, I can't betray them. I'll stay with them for the rest of my life, and they don't want me to have a fourth male. I have to consider their feelings."
She looked at Randy with unwavering eyes.
"Randy, you misunderstood something I said. What I meant was that I don't like you, so don't bother me. It's not that I think you can't beat the three of them. Even if you beat Mickson, I still won't marry you, understand?"
Guo Xiaoxiao's words were like a needle piercing Randy's heart.
"Go back now, it's getting cold. This is the last time I'm telling you, don't come back."
Randy touched his chest, feeling a sharp pain, but he couldn't understand what kind of emotion it was.
There's a dull, aching pain, like a stone pressing on my chest.
It's like there's a piece missing.
Guo Xiaoxiao's meaning was very clear.
Happiness cannot bring true feelings, but sadness and loneliness are so realistic.
He even forgot to say goodbye to Guo Xiaoxiao, remaining silent for a long time without saying anything.
…
Finally, Randy turned and left, his back straight and lonely. He didn't linger, nor did he say a word.
He left…
One-sided efforts in a relationship are futile. Guo Xiaoxiao watched Randy walk away, feeling sorry for the young man.
But it's always important to explain things clearly; dragging things out only leads to misunderstandings.
It's better to end it quickly than to suffer for a long time. He's still young; he can find any kind of partner in the future. There's no need to delay him.
After Guo Xiaoxiao confessed to Randy, the three of them, unlike Randy, were all beaming with joy.
Cang Jue excitedly hugged Guo Xiaoxiao and rubbed his head against her chest like a dog trying to please its owner.
"I'm so lucky to have found you, Xiaoxiao. No matter what happens, I'll always be by your side."
Mickelson: Me too
Arthur: "I'm good to you, so you have to be good to me too, do you hear me!"
The three were overjoyed and moved by what had just been said, and promised never to separate again, thus successfully resolving their relationship crisis.
…
Back in the tribe, lying in the cave, Randy couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong; this shouldn't have been his fate.
His emotions were in turmoil. He had thought he would win her love, but he never expected it to turn out like this. Was he really such a failure?
