He snapped out of his daze, looked at the cave before him, and smiled.
Okay, let's go.
With their original strength restored, and driven by their desire to see Guo Xiaoxiao again as soon as possible, everyone ran with all their might through the jungle.
Of the group, only Randy had some reservations; the others were filled with anticipation and joy.
Guo Xiaoxiao was alone in the castle of the Beast City. Abil would regularly send her meat and materials.
She looks out eight times a day, eagerly awaiting her husband's return; she's practically turned into a statue waiting for her husband's return.
No one can understand the urgency I feel. Happiness comes too suddenly; I fear it's just a dream, and it might vanish in an instant.
…
What should have been a 7-day journey, they covered in just 5 days. They were traveling day and night without a moment's rest, rushing towards the Beast City.
On the morning of the sixth day, the group arrived at Beast City. As they traversed the forest, they passed through the area where the forest had been burned down on their previous trip from Linzhi.
The area was dark and reeked of a foul stench; the rain couldn't wash away the bloody smell.
One can't help but exclaim in astonishment, "Who turned this place upside down? There aren't any wild animals for miles around; all that remains are charred tree trunks."
There was no time to ask questions; we hurried back to Beast City. Standing at the city gate, although it had changed drastically, traces of the great battle remained, the ground riddled with potholes and signs of having been filled in.
A section of the city wall was missing and was repaired with rubble.
What you don't know is that Randy spent a lot of time repairing it.
Inside the castle, Guo Xiaoxiao was unaware that they had returned. As usual, she sat by the door, gazing into the distance.
I'm going crazy with worry. Even though I keep telling myself Randy will bring them back, I'm so anxious I can't even eat until I see him.
"Xiaoxiao!"
Cang Jue's excited shouts reached his ears.
Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up and saw Cang Jue soaring in the sky, flying straight towards her.
"Cang Jue?!"
Guo Xiaoxiao stood up in a panic, pinching the back of her hand to confirm that it was all real.
Cang Jue, now in human form, landed steadily in front of her. His gaze remained sharp, yet when he looked at Guo Xiaoxiao, it was filled with boundless tenderness.
Immediately, she ran excitedly towards Cang Jue, threw herself into his arms, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Cang Jue, you're finally back!"
Hearing this, Cang Jue couldn't help but tear up. He put his arm around her shoulder, gently stroked her back, and said softly.
I'm sorry I worried you.
"It's not your fault, it's all my fault, I've made you suffer."
Guo Xiaoxiao shook her head, crying, and looked behind Cang Jue.
"What about them?"
"Hey, I'm right in front of you, why are you still asking them!"
Cang Jue smiled gently, cupped her small face, kissed away her tears, and spoke...
"Don't cry, silly. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. So don't blame yourself. You should thank the Beast God for bringing you into my life and letting me love you."
Guo Xiaoxiao cried tears of joy, and nodded with emotion.
We've grown accustomed to each other's presence through these years of companionship.
He held her in his arms, their embrace filled with a beautiful sweetness that overwhelmed his senses. Cang Jue felt he couldn't waste any more time, and whispered in her ear...
"Let me go first for mating. I was the first one here; they're still running behind."
His hands started wandering again, reaching for Guo Xiaoxiao's buttocks; his old habit had returned.
Guo Xiaoxiao was amused by him, swatted away his mischievous hands, pushed him away, and pretended to be angry.
"You're really in a hurry; you're thinking about this all the time."
Cang Jue smiled with such confidence
"Hehe, I've been so cooped up these past few days. If I wait any longer, I'm afraid I'll have problems. Do you know how long we've been apart? I've almost lost count."
Guo Xiaoxiao scolded, "Couldn't you have just held back a little? You've completely ruined the atmosphere!"
Cang Jue shamelessly grabbed her hand and placed it below his waist.
"I can't stand it anymore, this is my only option."
Guo Xiaoxiao blushed and withdrew her hand.
"Stop fooling around."
Another shout came from afar.
"Cang Jue, stop right now! What are you doing? Stop!"
A giant lion was running at full speed, and even with all four legs, Mickson and Arthur Landy couldn't keep up with the flying Cang Jue.
Upon reaching the city gate, Cang Jue immediately accelerated and flew inside.
The guards couldn't stop him, shouting and yelling, but Cang Jue ignored them all, only concerned with going inside to find someone. He was lucky.
With his excellent eyesight, he spotted Guo Xiaoxiao at a glance.
The orcs left behind by the Sishui tribe saw the figure and recognized it as Cang Jue. They were quite excited; their chieftain was still alive!
…
"So fast! I thought I'd have to wait a while."
Cang Jue couldn't help but feel annoyed. He hadn't had enough tenderness; he'd only hugged her once and hadn't even given her two kisses. What a pity!
Guo Xiaoxiao was overjoyed to see Landia Semykson in the distance; everyone was there, not a single one was missing.
"You're all back!"
"kindness"
"Um"
"kindness"
The three of them agreed simultaneously and ran quickly towards her, transforming into human form—so dazzling, powerful, and perfectly preserved—before her eyes.
"Xiaoxiao, we're back!"
"…very nice!"
Guo Xiaoxiao choked up and couldn't speak, tears streaming down her face.
"You're all alright, you're all alright."
Her last shred of strength crumbled instantly, and she burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
The fear disappeared; it turns out that joy can also make you cry.
"Xiaoxiao, don't cry, we're okay."
They quickly tried to comfort and soothe her.
Guo Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears and revealed a bright smile.
"I'm just so happy, I can't help but cry."
Mickelson gently leaned closer, tidying her disheveled hair, and said softly.
How could he not be happy to see the person he had been longing for? He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said...
"I thought I'd never see you again. I was desperate, I even considered ending it all. But the thought that you're still waiting for me makes me fearless. If you can still accept me, this lifetime is enough. With you, I have peace of mind."
Upon hearing this, Guo Xiaoxiao reached out and hooked her arms around his neck, kissing him passionately and silencing him with a kiss that silenced his words. She wrapped her arms around his neck, oblivious to everyone else around them.
Cang Jue felt his position was in jeopardy again. The contrast was too stark. Why didn't he receive the same treatment?
He touched her twice and got slapped, but Xiaoxiao kissed him first, so it had a different meaning.
Arthur was annoyed; he had been standing there for so long, and she hadn't even seen him?
Did Mickelson do it on purpose to block him from Guo Xiaoxiao's view?
"Cough cough~"
A loud coughing sound rang out, and Guo Xiaoxiao finally reacted, "Let go of me!" and looked around.
Arthur snorted coldly, walked over, and shoved Mickson aside.
"As for me, I'm a reversed star ring. Losing my star ring is the most painful thing for me. I was only focused on those two. What am I to you?"
Arthur glared at Guo Xiaoxiao, feeling a pang of jealousy, but his heart softened when he met her large, watery eyes.
The tone gradually softened
