Randy answered seriously.
"Take good care of her"
"Nonsense," Lin Zhi continued.
Do you think Arthur and the other two are still alive?
Randy: "You're dead."
He wasn't cursing them; those few, in such poor physical condition, had become separated from him, lacking the strength to hunt, and utterly unable to fight back in danger.
Lin Zhi: "I think so too, but I don't dare tell Xiaoxiao. Don't mention Arthur and the others' fate to Xiaoxiao later either. I'll have Qianye find a way for her to find Bai Jing. If you're going to help her find someone, just do it. Give her some hope."
Randy: "I understand."
Lin Zhi: "From now on, you'll be taking care of her. Without Carlos, Beast City is nothing to fear. The orcs from the southern hemisphere will come and help you clear out the western lands of Beast City. From now on, it's up to you."
Randy was deeply grateful to Linzhi. Whatever the reason, he was already very content with the extent of the help. To express his gratitude...
"If you ever need my help in Linzhi in the future, please do so."
His sincere promise
Linzhi: "Okay, I've got it."
After their conversation, Randy returned to Guo Xiaoxiao's side to keep her company. Lin Zhi turned and walked to the center of the camp, where Ji Xing was talking with Will.
"how's it going"
She leaned closer and asked.
The scouts returned and reported that the wandering beasts hadn't pursued them and they were generally safe.
"That's good," Lin Zhi smiled at Ji Xing, her eyes filled with affection. Ji Xing was amused by her, and the two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with love. Will, however, was furious.
He's standing right here, exhausted too, so why are they only giving him perks? Before Will could even complain...
Lin Zhi then took Ji Xing's hand and said
"Let me tell you something."
Ji Xing blushed slightly; Lin Zhi was truly beautiful no matter how you looked at her. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as the saying goes.
"Okay, go ahead."
Lin Zhi paused for a moment, then said, "After the orcs from the Southern Hemisphere join us and return to Beast City, you can lead your men to clean up the area and drive the stray beasts back to the Forgotten Continent."
"ha??"
Ji Xing's expression turned to shock. They were going back? He had planned to meet up with the orcs in the Southern Hemisphere and return the way he came, no longer caring about the mess in the Northern Hemisphere. He'd already faced death, and this was still going on?
He immediately refused.
"No, Linzhi, let's go home. Randy's here, don't get involved in this nonsense."
Lin Zhi: "The Northern Hemisphere is in such a mess, Randy can't handle it all by himself, Ji Xing, just consider it helping me out."
Will coughed twice at just the right moment, a cough cough. Lin Zhi understood, and before she could speak, Will said in a sarcastic tone...
"Hehe, don't look down on me. Ji Xing has connections, but I don't. You should go find him. What am I compared to Ji Xing?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Ji Xing; she was quite adept at getting jealous. Lin Zhi had forgotten that Will was petty.
She coaxed her.
"No, no, you're amazing too, and I like you a lot too."
Lin Zhi subtly observed their expressions; she, like Guo Xiaoxiao in her harem, was caught up in a power struggle for favor.
Will gave Ji Xing a defiant look, gave a haughty snort, and turned his face away.
Ji Xing didn't bother to look at him either; the two of them looked to the side, separated by an invisible wall.
"Then why don't you two both help out and chase the stray beast back home?"
Lin Zhi looked at the two expectantly, but they both shook their heads and refused in unison. Lin Zhi was frustrated, but she still patiently said...
"Please, we're begging you! Randy has too few people to handle this. Many of the orcs from Yushan have gotten separated from us. If we don't help, he's also with the pregnant Guo Xiaoxiao. What are we going to do?"
The two remained firmly opposed. Lin Zhi sighed, looked at Guo Xiaoxiao's sleeping face in the distance, steeled her resolve, put on an angry expression, and said in a deep voice...
"Alright then, forget about helping. You guys go home, and I'll stay in the Northern Hemisphere and help Randy figure out a way to take over Beast City."
Pretending to leave
Ji Xing grabbed her and asked, confused.
"Xiaozhi, why are you so concerned about Randy? You've fallen for him, haven't you?"
"ah?"
He had suspected it for a long time, but he was too busy with the war to ask, so now that he had the chance, he wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Lin Zhi looked completely bewildered: "Who likes him? Randy is in love with Guo Xiaoxiao, you knew that all along."
Will: "So you really need our help?"
Linzhi: "No, you guys go back first. I'll have Qianye take me to the Southern Hemisphere after I'm done with my work."
They could just abandon her and leave? What kind of talk is that? Ji Xing and Will know that once Lin Zhi has made up her mind, they can't stop her.
It was such a loss; they didn't get any benefit at all. Once they got back, the two of them planned to get everything back in another way.
After the compromise, everyone reached a consensus. At this time, Mikel and Yunying also joined the orcs with them.
They said their path was blocked by stray beasts, and they fought for a long time. Fortunately, they outnumbered the stray beasts, who were no match for them.
Mikel was restless, his mind preoccupied with Linzhi and worried about Mikeson's whereabouts, but deep down he already believed Mikeson was dead, after all, the chances of survival in that situation were extremely slim.
…
Guo Xiaoxiao dreamed of Carlos. In the dream, Carlos was still the same as before, handsome and charming. He seemed normal, but there was a sense of unfamiliarity in his eyes when he looked at Guo Xiaoxiao.
Carlos asked, "Do you still love me?"
Guo Xiaoxiao was in a panic
"What?"
Carlos gave a mocking smile.
Judging from your expression, you don't seem willing to admit you love me.
"No"
"Since it's not because of love, then you should leave."
His tone was icy, and Guo Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine: "I, I..."
"Enough! I don't want to see you. Get out!"
Guo Xiaoxiao stared at him blankly, tears streaming down her face.
Carlos frowned and waved her away in annoyance. He seemed normal, but Guo Xiaoxiao felt no warmth at all, only a chilling coldness all over her body.
Carlos left without looking at her again. She sat on the ground and cried for a long time, then suddenly felt dizzy... and woke up with a start...
Opening her eyes, Guo Xiaoxiao was greeted by a familiar house. Confused, she wondered, "Isn't this the castle room? Am I dreaming or is this reality?"
"You're awake? Are you hungry? I've made some porridge, have some."
Lin Zhi approached with a bowl of porridge, and seeing that Guo Xiaoxiao had woken up, she placed the porridge on the edge of the bed.
Guo Xiaoxiao rubbed her aching temples and asked her, "How long did I sleep?"
Lin Zhi touched her forehead; it was a little hot, probably a low-grade fever, and explained.
"I noticed something was wrong with you last night. I kept calling you but you didn't respond. I was afraid you'd get cold, so Randy kept holding you. When I woke up this morning, you were still asleep, so I cooked some porridge to warm your stomach when you woke up."
She sat up and looked at the hot porridge. Where did the rice come from? Lin Zhi noticed her doubt and said...
"I had the system switch to expedited delivery for me. There were still some left, so I'm giving them all to you."
Lin Zhi picked up the bowl and handed it to Guo Xiaoxiao. Guo Xiaoxiao reached out to take it, but just as her hand touched the bowl, she looked up and saw Lin Zhi's concerned eyes and smile at her. She then took the bowl.
