Randy: "No, these are my true feelings."
Then, after pondering for a long time, the breeze seemed to disregard him as he spoke.
"Xiaoxiao, what if they can't be found in the future? Will you be very sad?"
These words hurt her deeply. Whether it was Arthur, Mikson, or Cang Jue, they were all men she had loved most. This affection was worth cherishing, but she hadn't found them yet. This not only hurt her, but the lingering memories also constantly gnawed at her.
"No, we will return safely, it just will take a little longer."
Guo Xiaoxiao said firmly, leaning against Randy's chest.
"I still remember the first time I met you all, you know?"
“When Mickson saw me, I was looking for food in the jungle. He turned into a huge lion and chased after me. He took me back and kept talking about mating with me, afraid that I would run away. He hid me in his cave every day and wouldn't let me out. But he was very good. He always watched my expression when he spoke and did things, afraid that I would be unhappy and leave him. I once promised that I would only have him as my male, but later I broke my promise. He never blamed me or even scolded me.”
“Sometimes I can hear him sighing even when I’m sleeping at night, but what’s done is done, so I pretend I don’t hear it and think I’ll accept it over time.”
"He's always so patient and restrained, he can never win an argument with Cang Jue, and he always pretends to be carefree in front of me, so I often ignore him."
Randy, with mixed feelings, said softly, "He's fine."
Guo Xiaoxiao continued, "Cang Jue was the second one. He stole me away, dragging me up into the sky, scaring me half to death. He's also a smart aleck and a lecher, always trying to take advantage of me and bickering with Mikeson."
"He makes me angry and then pretends to be pitiful to coax me. He's very energetic and always has energy. Actually, I vaguely understand that he's afraid that Xinghuan is not as good as Miksen and will be ignored, so he always wants to get close to me. Every time he makes a mistake, I can't bring myself to ignore him."
She paused, then continued, "Arthur has a peculiar fetish. The first time we met, in the valley, he kissed me right away. He didn't understand love at all at first, saying a lot of nonsensical things. Even though he clearly liked me, he insisted I was seducing him. He almost killed Mikeson and Cang Jue, and stole a lot of things..."
"He actually used my underwear to wipe his sweat..."
Guo Xiaoxiao gave a bitter smile, then continued, "But, no matter what, he didn't hurt me. Even though he did many wrong things and can't forgive on behalf of Mickson and the others, I still married him. Maybe he felt relieved when he fell into the pit."
"He's not suited to a slow-paced life, but he's trying to adapt for me. He's ambitious, but he gave up his ambitions for me. He'd sit by a cave, lost in thought, living a life he could see the end of the tunnel. If it weren't for me, he would definitely have achieved great things."
It's all her fault... If it weren't for her, they wouldn't have become crippled, Carlos wouldn't have died, and everything revolves around her...
"He never complained or blamed me, saying he would stay with me forever on the ancient continent..."
"I'm very lucky. I don't know what stroke of luck brought me here. At first, I even looked down on it."
Guo Xiaoxiao burst into tears, finally releasing the bitterness in her heart.
Randy reached out and covered Guo Xiaoxiao's mouth to stop her from continuing to talk and affecting her mood, then pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
"I see"
Guo Xiaoxiao leaned on Randy's shoulder, tears soaking his animal hide, and sobbed as she spoke.
"Randy, I'm so tired, what should I do if I really can't find it?"
She didn't know how to break free; the memories were flooding her mind, and she couldn't let go.
Don't worry, I'll always be there for you.
Randy gently patted her back, not wanting her to suffer alone any longer.
Guo Xiaoxiao sobbed and nestled in his arms.
"I just want to find Arthur and Mickson again, like before. I can't lose you all again."
"good"
Randy gently stroked her back, feeling extremely distressed. Her frail body seemed as if she might collapse at any moment, and her fragility made him panic.
Do you think they're really dead?
"It's definitely not them. I'll help you find them, trust me."
"kindness"
Guo Xiaoxiao choked back tears, sniffling hard, her arms wrapped around his waist, nodding repeatedly.
Night deepens... everything is understood without words...
Randy stayed up with Guo Xiaoxiao while she slept, barely sleeping a wink. Two conflicting emotions clashed within him, like a battle raging in his mind.
He was so exhausted that he couldn't sleep at all.
When Guo Xiaoxiao woke up in the early morning, she smelled the aroma of meat. Opening her eyes, she saw that Randy had already prepared breakfast: a simple meal of meat and fruit.
Guo Xiaoxiao immediately got up, dressed neatly, washed up, and sat down at the table. The sadness from last night seemed to have vanished, and she was full of energy again.
Guo Xiaoxiao looked at him and said, "You have to go and get busy today, right?"
Randy took a sip of water and said, "Okay, but I'll be there for you soon."
Guo Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It's alright, you go about your business, take care of yourself and don't think too much. Just deal with those clan leaders the way I told you last time."
Randy: "Okay"
After finishing his meal, Randy immediately went to find Abil.
"Abier, you mentioned yesterday that you had news about those people. Once it's confirmed, let me know and I'll go pick them up."
Abir was shocked: "Huh? Didn't you make up your mind? You're backing out now? Are you sure?"
Randy nodded: "I'm sure. Xiaoxiao is very sad, she'll get sick. I can't be so selfish, we should find her."
Abir chimed in, "After you regain your level, you'll be sharing females with them, and you're the Beastmaster. Arthur has always been ambitious; aren't you afraid of ruining everything we have?"
"We'll talk about it later. I haven't thought that far ahead yet. Let's find them and bring them to Xiaoxiao first, then decide on the next step."
Abier sighed. This guy was so stubborn. Oh well, there was no point in trying to persuade him; he might as well just do as he was told.
"Okay, good. It's good that you've thought it through. The people we sent out haven't even left yet. I'll go stop Simon and Aze right away."
…
After some time, Lin Lin recuperated and, together with the tribespeople, managed the territory very well.
Simon and Aze, after some inquiries and tracking, confirmed that the message originated from this tribe.
They came with two or three orcs.
Who are you?
The guarding orcs blocked their way, and Simon stepped forward.
"We're from Beast City, and we'd like to ask your clan leader something."
The orc guards exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"The chieftain is sleeping in a tree hollow on the hillside; he doesn't have time."
Simon paused, then said, "Are you sure? We have an urgent matter. Tell him that a female is looking for Arthur, and your chieftain will probably understand."
The guarding orc sent someone to inform them, allowing them to enter.
Upon seeing Lin Lin, the orcs were momentarily stunned.
Unexpectedly, it was the former Beast King.
Why would he take in Arthur and the others? Did he suddenly become so kind? The group, unaware that Lin Lin was Arthur's adoptive father, were utterly shocked upon learning the news.
