Ling Feng was sent to the north by Carlos to stir things up and make sure Yu Shan didn't have it easy.
…
Carlos went back to see Guo Xiaoxiao and went a long way to pick a bouquet of flowers for her, as he was used to giving her a little surprise every day.
Guo Xiaoxiao felt a little better after hearing that outside help was coming to rescue her, but she didn't know when they would arrive, as she hadn't seen anyone yet.
Xiaoxiao
Carlos has returned. Guo Xiaoxiao isn't in her room; she's squatting by a large pillar in the conference hall outside. She's easy to spot without searching for her.
Orcs are born with a sense of perception and smell that is different from ordinary humans. Wolf beasts are suitable for long-distance tracking, and at close range, any orc can smell them. Carlos noticed Guo Xiaoxiao as soon as he entered and hid behind the pillar to her left.
He crept closer, wanting to give her a hug, but Guo Xiaoxiao noticed him first. She looked up at the person standing not far from her.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm back! I even picked a bouquet of flowers for you. Don't they look pretty?"
Carlos spoke with deep affection, his eyes brimming with tenderness as he looked at Guo Xiaoxiao, awaiting her reply.
"kindness"
Guo Xiaoxiao's indifferent response conveyed an air of aloofness.
I feel very unhappy and irritable when my period comes.
Seeing her reluctance to talk, Carlos felt a bitter pang in his heart, but he had no choice but to continue. He hoped they could have a child soon so he could resolve everything and be with her forever.
"Xiaoxiao, your constitution is really special; you go into heat twice a year. That's fine. We'll mate again after your heat cycle is over, and try to get you pregnant."
Guo Xiaoxiao started her period the day before yesterday. When Carlos saw her, he didn't think it was her being in heat; he assumed she was bleeding. In their inherited memories, females only go into heat once a year, never twice.
Terrified, he ignored Guo Xiaoxiao's screams and cries, forcefully pried her open to check, confirming that she was in heat.
Instantly, he felt a surge of joy. Heaven had been kind to him; wasn't this divine intervention? Once the baby was born, Xiaoxiao would stop being angry with him for the baby's sake.
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't care. She hadn't gotten pregnant after so many times, and even if she conceived after her period, she wouldn't get pregnant; she just had a constitution that made it difficult for her to conceive.
Carlos, not receiving a reply from Guo Xiaoxiao, picked her up from the ground and carried her into the room.
"The ground is cold, and you're feeling weak during your heat, so don't sit on the ground. Sit on the cushion to keep warm."
Guo Xiaoxiao struggled a few times, but the difference in strength between men and women was too great, and she couldn't break free from Carlos's grip. In the end, she let him carry her into the house. Strength really is that important.
The gentler Carlos was to her, the more she rejected him; she couldn't let herself be swayed by his tenderness.
We must always remember the mistakes he made; removing the mark of the beast is unforgivable.
No matter how good she is to him, for Arthur's sake, she can't give him a friendly look.
"I can't take you out while you're in heat, otherwise those orcs won't be able to stand the smell. I promise I'll take you out to play after you're out of heat, okay?"
"Whatever, just change that animal skin you're sleeping in; it looks dirty."
The mating took place on the leather mat. Carlos settled Guo Xiaoxiao in, even piling two or three layers of animal hides on the stone bench he had made, and then began changing the animal hides on the bed.
Carlos took off the animal hide, folded it neatly in his hand, and prepared to wash it later. Then he pulled out a clean one from the bottom layer of the animal hide pad and put it on.
Guo Xiaoxiao instinctively reached out to catch the animal hide he had taken off, but she lost her grip and nearly fell flat on her face.
Carlos quickly helped her up, asking with concern, "Be careful, I'll take care of you, just sit still."
Guo Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I'm all changed. Go take a shower, you stink."
"I don't smell bad at all."
Carlos sniffed himself and found no foul odor.
Guo Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, and Carlos, not daring to argue, could only go outside to take a bath, taking the animal hide with him as well.
Guo Xiaoxiao simply didn't want to spend too much time with Carlos, which is why she urged him to go out and take a shower.
Furthermore, he wasn't allowed to use the large basin in the room; that was for her exclusive use. Carlos didn't seem to mind; if she didn't want him to use it, so be it, he could just go outside to wash.
When Carlos returned after washing up, he found Guo Xiao already asleep on the animal skin mat, curled up like a child.
Carlos lay down beside her, put his arm around her shoulder, closed his eyes, and a happy smile appeared on his lips.
They are partners. He will try his best to make her like and love him more; he will take care of her, pamper her, and never let her be sad or upset.
…
Half a month has passed
The Beast King could no longer contain himself; they desperately needed a war to alleviate their internal conflicts.
With Ling Feng's meddling, the already difficult situation in the north has become even more chaotic.
The Beast King and his group had initially formed a united front, but due to conflicts, they split up, reshuffled their decks, and each found their own partners.
The various tribes in the north have already fought each other several times.
They weren't fighting for profit; they were simply struggling to survive.
This kind of defensive approach definitely won't work.
As expected, Leopard King Allen and Eagle King Danze arrived at Yushan Tribe today with their large entourage.
They were accompanied by many fleeing orcs, including some powerful ones. It seems they weren't there simply to negotiate; if their conditions weren't met, a major battle would be inevitable.
Danze was making a fuss outside.
"Call Arthur out here. We won't leave until we distribute the food."
then
"Your tribe has the most food hoarding, and aren't you also robbing others? In that case, it's not unreasonable for us to take a little."
The orcs behind them cheered. Driven by hunger, who would choose to attack Yushan unless driven to desperation?
Despite the harmonious atmosphere inside Yushan, the outside world is truly chaotic.
It was filled with violence, slaughter, and cruelty; many orcs died, and those who survived were all starving.
"Enough!"
Randy gave a cold shout, his imposing gaze sweeping across the entire room, and no one dared to act rashly.
Abier stepped in to help, intending to end the argument with words, while Randy, having lost the argument, was the last to speak.
Furthermore, Randy wasn't particularly adept at speaking; after a barrage of criticism from Danze and Allen, Randy was rendered speechless.
"What kind of food do you want? If you can't beat others, you're asking for trouble by trying to steal from us. Do you know how powerful we are? Even if you attack us, you won't gain anything. You'll lose your life without getting any food."
"You robbed others, you should pay the price. We're not unreasonable people, but we're all having a hard time these days. Give us one-third of the meat, and I'll leave with my men right away."
Danze spoke in an impartial tone, but their behavior was entirely that of a robbery, practically written on their faces.
Abil looked at us with disdain: "You talk as if you don't rob people. Your Beast King's infamy is legendary. You don't just steal food, you even steal females. And you have the nerve to talk about us?"
