They cuddled together for a while until midnight before going to sleep. Randy was very obedient; he wouldn't continue unless Guo Xiaoxiao told him to. He was the most well-behaved one, even more so than Mickson at the beginning.
The next day, Randy woke up very early and saw Guo Xiaoxiao lying by the bedside as soon as she opened her eyes. She was exhausted from the previous day.
Randy didn't want to wake her, so he quietly got dressed and washed up. Guo Xiaoxiao was still lying there without moving.
Worried that she was hungry, he gently nudged her.
"Xiaoxiao, it's time to get up. Eat some meat before you go back to sleep."
Guo Xiaoxiao, still half asleep, heard his call, rubbed her eyes, and got up. She seemed to have slept poorly, having just had a good nap, and stretched.
"good"
Randy went and grilled the meat, then picked some fruit and brought it in. He decided that he would spend the day with Guo Xiaoxiao and let Abil handle the affairs.
These were all trivial matters, and it didn't matter who came. After eating, Guo Xiaoxiao went to check on the snake eggs as usual, and they were still the same—neither growing nor shrinking.
At noon, Aiven would come over to incubate for two hours, and the rest of the time he would just leave it here, with Guo Xiaoxiao checking in every now and then.
With more than a month to go before their birth, Guo Xiaoxiao finds it all very magical. Will they pop out and call her "Mommy"? Or will they just be a bunch of snakes?
Randy went to ask Abier for leave and took the opportunity to ask him about this question. Abier, being quite knowledgeable, had never seen or heard of it before.
"They start as snakes, but as they grow, they can transform into human form. They don't drink milk; they are fed meat as usual."
She told Guo Xiaoxiao, and she thought it wouldn't be too much trouble to raise them. At first, she was worried that with seven or eight children around, all the chattering would be too much for anyone to handle.
If it's a small snake, feeding it some meat every day is fine, but the fact that it gave birth to a bunch of snakes might bother it, even though they fell from its own body.
However, I will love them very much; they are my own children, after all, regardless of their species.
"I'm not busy today, let's go out and have some fun. There's a really beautiful spot in the mountains behind Beast City, I heard there are lots of butterflies there."
Randy spoke, a faint smile playing on his lips, looking expectantly at Guo Xiaoxiao, awaiting her response.
"Okay, let's go. Where there are butterflies, there are flowers, and we can pick lots of pretty flowers!"
Guo Xiaoxiao readily agreed, and Randy was even happier than him about the trip. Recently, Randy still had a childlike heart, but he carried too much on his shoulders, forcing him to wear a stern face, making it impossible for others to understand his heart.
Randy took Guo Xiaoxiao's hand and walked out of the house.
The entire Beast City is now completely different from what it used to be. It's no longer the filthy, smelly place it was under Carlos's rule; prosperity has returned, with vendors hawking their wares in every street.
There were also many orcs gathered together on the street, talking and chatting, each doing their own thing.
Everything returned to normal, and the place was thriving and prosperous.
Upon seeing the Beast King with Guo Xiaoxiao, the orcs would bow and nod slightly to them, showing their respect.
In crowded places, Randy's demeanor changed completely; he was no longer comfortable and gentle, but walked past them with an imposing aura.
But holding Guo Xiaoxiao's hand makes me relax and less tense.
After leaving the Beast City, Randy transformed into a wolf and carried Guo Xiaoxiao towards the back mountain. It was quite a distance, nearly half an hour's journey. Guo Xiaoxiao hadn't ridden on him in a long time, and the bumpy ride made his stride a little sore.
Even though Randy had slowed down, it still hurt.
Upon arriving at our destination, just as Randy had described, the mountain was beautiful. Countless colorful flowers bloomed on its slopes, and flocks of white birds danced about, some perching on branches, others soaring further afield.
Butterflies fluttered and filled the entire space, leaving Randy mesmerized.
Guo Xiaoxiao was stunned by the beautiful scene. She had never seen such a beautiful sea of flowers. At that moment, she forgot what she was doing, her eyes filled with a colorful world.
Guo Xiaoxiao jumped off Randy and stood on a large tree, admiring the beautiful scenery. The gloom in her heart was largely dispelled.
Randy wagged his tail, rubbed against Guo Xiaoxiao's legs, nudged her with his head, and said in a fawning tone.
Do you like it?
Guo Xiaoxiao stroked Randy's soft fur and said
"like"
"hehe…"
Randy smiled foolishly. Bathed in sunlight, Guo Xiaoxiao was dazzling, as pure as a fairy fallen from heaven. Randy thought to himself that he would protect her forever.
Randy transformed into human form, took Guo Xiaoxiao's hand, and led her along the path. They hadn't walked far when Guo Xiaoxiao saw a river winding its way through a lush, green forest.
There were many plants on both banks of the river; Guo Xiaoxiao recognized some, but many were unfamiliar to her.
She said to Randy
"I never knew the back mountains of Beast City were so beautiful. Carlos never brought me here before. I've been locked up inside Beast City all this time, and I've missed out on so much beauty."
Guo Xiaoxiao uttered the name Carlos so naturally that she didn't even realize it herself.
Randy paused for a moment, then returned to normal, pretending not to hear.
"I'll bring you here often from now on; there are lots of fun places to visit."
Guo Xiaoxiao quickly agreed.
The two sat down by the river, watching the rippling blue water, enjoying the cool breeze, and savoring this rare moment of tranquility.
Guo Xiaoxiao watched the fish swimming around in the river and thought they looked delicious. She hadn't eaten fish in a long time, and she was determined to catch at least two when she got home.
Fish are not on the orcs' menu; the bones are too small and can easily get stuck in their throats. In the orc world, there's no vinegar or similar remedies to soften them if they get stuck.
Therefore, fish is generally considered inedible by orcs. Mikel also mentioned this to Guo Xiaoxiao when they were fishing together.
That's because they haven't found a way to cook it. There are so many ways to cook it: spicy fish, boiled fish, braised crucian carp, and so on.
It's a pity there are no seasonings. I'll take it back and roast it, then try it out.
"You sit here, I'll go down to the river and catch some fish."
Randy didn't understand what she meant by "fish".
"What?"
Guo Xiaoxiao pointed to the fish swimming in the river
"Let's catch fish! They're swimming so fast, let's catch them and grill them!"
Randy was completely dumbfounded. They were talking about water beasts? How could anyone eat that? It was dangerous! Orcs had told him before when he was hunting that water beasts were not to be eaten.
"You can't eat the water beast, don't go down there."
Randy tried to dissuade her from going.
"It's okay, I can swim, I won't drown. You rest, I'll take care of it."
After Guo Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she went into the water, splashing up huge waves.
"grass…"
"Xiaoxiao~"
The river water was crystal clear, and Guo Xiaoxiao could see right to the bottom. Thinking it wasn't deep, she plunged in, splashing up a huge spray of water.
Randy got splashed in the face and stared in disbelief as his female jumped into the water.
"Ahhh!" Guo Xiaoxiao screamed. She could swim, but the icy river water gave her cramps, and her legs wouldn't obey her commands. She thought she could easily reach the bottom, but now, unprepared, she lost her footing and was about to fall in, swallowing several mouthfuls of water in the process.
Randy was terrified. He rushed over, jumped into the water, swam to her, grabbed her waist, and pulled her forcefully towards the shore.
"Xiaoxiao, don't move!"
