She picked up a spoon and tried scooping some out; it tasted quite delicious. Linzhi was very pleased to see that she liked it.
"Eat slowly, it's still hot, don't choke."
As Guo Xiaoxiao sipped her sweet and delicious hot porridge, she asked, "Where are they?"
Linzhi: "Let's go clean up stray animals!"
Guo Xiaoxiao seemed thoughtful: "Oh."
Then, he said, slowly and deliberately, "Have you found the body?"
Lin Zhi was stunned for a moment; she knew who she was referring to.
Guo Xiaoxiao lowered her eyes: "Are you still there?"
After saying that, he continued drinking his hot porridge as if he didn't care, but deep down he still held onto the last vestige of hope.
Lin Zhi looked at her for a moment and said
"It burned to ashes, leaving not a trace."
The room was quiet, the somber atmosphere creating a sense of pressure. Guo Xiaoxiao silently drank her porridge, seemingly oblivious to her words. Lin Zhi sighed; to help her let go of this, Randy would have to put in some effort in the future.
Lin Zhi approached her and said
"This is also my fault. Gasoline is impossible to extinguish once it catches fire, and once it gets on your skin, there's no chance of survival, so I didn't leave him any way out."
Guo Xiaoxiao shook her head
"No! It's not your fault. You were forced into this situation. Carlos is known for his temper; he wouldn't let you go even if he caught you."
Although she said that, Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think back to the dream she had just had. Could Carlos have died with hatred in his heart?
Guo Xiaoxiao dared not think too deeply, burying her head in her porridge to hide the sorrow in her eyes.
…
Half a month later
Lin Zhi led everyone back home. Before leaving, she reminded Qian Ye about the white crystals. The white crystal cores were their most important mineral resource at sea and wouldn't be given away as a gift. However, Lin Zhi insisted on having three, and Qian Ye, wanting to please her, agreed to get them for Guo Xiaoxiao when they returned. Randy only needed to pick them up at the beach in seven days.
The western part of Beast City has been thoroughly cultivated and restored by Ji Xing and his team, returning it to its original harmonious and peaceful state.
However, the area burned by gasoline is still a bare, blackened patch, and it will likely take a long time to recover.
The orcs gathered in the north received news that the orc city had been occupied by Randy and that peace had returned to the continent.
They returned to the eastern, western, and southern continents to make a living, forming their own free tribes, and the power structure was reshuffled.
In order to recruit talented individuals, at Abil's suggestion, Randy had the orcs spread the word that the orc city was deserted and needed rebuilding, hoping that capable orcs would join his ranks.
This news immediately caused a huge uproar.
The orcs went crazy, pouring into the orc city from all directions. Some strong males even went to the city gate hoping to join them.
Conquering the Beast City proved his strength, and Randy became a well-known and powerful orc in the beast world.
The youngest five-star ringed beast killed Carlos and drove away the rogue beasts; every single one of these feats is worthy of conversation.
However, what they didn't know was that all of this was thanks to Lin Zhi and his group; they assumed it was Randy's exceptional abilities that made things so smooth.
Ji Xing, Will, and the others who helped really didn't get anything in return...
…
Guo Xiaoxiao's snake eggs hatched. It didn't hurt, just a little swollen. One by one, they popped out from below, soft at first, then hardening after a while. One, two, three, four, five… a total of eight.
Setting aside the nest that Randy had personally made, Guo Xiaoxiao could hardly bear to look at it. She had never imagined that giving birth would result in a bunch of eggs.
But she still loved her own children very much, she asked Randy.
"Randy, how do I hatch the egg? Won't it break if I sit on it?"
Randy, well, he didn't know either! He offered to help incubate the eggs, but wolves lay eggs, not larvae, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to transform into a wolf and climb on top of them.
"Um, I'll go ask Abier. Xiaoxiao, you stay here and keep watch."
"good"
After Randy left, Guo Xiaoxiao carefully placed the animal hide on the egg, then sat down and waited, waited, waited...
Abir and Randy arrived, bringing with them a hawk.
Abil: "Little female, there are no snake beasts in the city, let Evan help incubate her for now."
Guo Xiaoxiao stood up and glanced at Evan, a young man about the same age as Randy, with fair and clean skin, a flushed face, and a timid demeanor. His eyes were fixed on her.
Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a pang of sadness. If only Carlos were still here. Thinking this, she quickly suppressed her bitterness and smiled, saying...
"Your name is Evan, and mine is Guo Xiaoxiao. Can you help me out for now?"
Evan nodded vigorously. He walked over, looked at Little Egg, transformed into an eagle, and sat down directly on it.
"I'm a little worried. Won't it break if I sit on it? After all, Evan is a huge orc, much bigger than a normal eagle," Guo Xiaoxiao worried.
Abil: "Little female, go and rest. Evan will be fine. Eagle cubs hatch from eggs; they'll be alright."
Guo Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then said
"Thank you. Let me know if you get tired."
Guo Xiaoxiao then went to prepare the ingredients and cook, as she still preferred the taste of vegetables.
Randy has been very busy since becoming the Beastmaster. Besides helping Abir vet the orcs who have come to join him, he also has to deal with various messages from people sent by the Horde to inquire about his situation.
Guo Xiaoxiao took the initiative to cook for him to lighten his burden.
Abier stealthily pulled Randy outside, then peeked inside to make sure Guo Xiaoxiao wasn't paying attention to them.
Randy: "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Abier patted Randy on the head.
Something's happened, something big.
Randy touched the spot where he had been hit and frowned.
"Tell me, why did you hit me?"
Abil, still uneasy, pulled Randy a little further away before finally saying...
"When are you planning to get married to her? And after the baby is born, shouldn't you start thinking about yourself?"
Her face flushed even more; the thought of becoming partners with Guo Xiaoxiao made her a little excited. Randy's old habit kicked in, and she stammered...
"I, I...she..."
