Cang Jue said ingratiatingly, "Don't make that face. I prepared this especially for you."
Guo Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes speechlessly, paused for a moment, took the flower wreath from his hand, put it on her head, suppressed a smile, and pretended to be nonchalant.
"It's alright, not particularly pretty."
Cang Jue quickly praised, "But you are especially beautiful!!"
"Is that so?"
"Yes," Cang Jue nodded heavily, "Really!"
Guo Xiaoxiao tugged at the corners of her mouth and turned her back so he wouldn't see her joy. Cang Jue stood there watching her back, his eyes gleaming.
He slapped her shapely buttocks and gave them a squeeze, eliciting a string of soft, bell-like moans.
"Ah!!" Guo Xiaoxiao turned her head, the atmosphere she had worked so hard to build up was ruined again.
"rogue"
Cang Jue grinned wickedly: "You're my partner, this is perfectly normal."
Guo Xiaoxiao adopted a strategy of silence again, sitting down to continue eating her meat. Cang Jue, seeing that she was in a much better mood, stopped bothering her.
The little snakes, having eaten their fill, circled around Cang Jue. Cang Jue played with them, while pondering another matter: when would he be able to have his own offspring? If Xiao Xiao went into heat these next few days and he tried his best, maybe he could conceive.
Cang Jue thought to himself, counting the days on his fingers. It had been a long time since the last time, probably only a couple of days. It didn't matter if it wasn't these two days; he would stay until she was in heat before leaving, taking her a little further away.
Let's go to the next travel destination. Everyone has eaten their fill. Cang Jue took Guo Xiaoxiao and the little snakes for a low-altitude flight. I thought about it and realized I didn't like flying too high because it made me dizzy.
She has a slight fear of heights, but she got used to it after flying a few times. However, she can't fly too high anymore; she feels dizzy and nauseous.
…
This time, we arrived at another place.
Cang Jue lowered his altitude, traversed the forest, transformed back into human form, caught Guo Xiaoxiao, and let him rest on his shoulder. Guo Xiaoxiao, still dazed, felt herself being placed on the ground, and then a pair of large hands covered her chest.
Guo Xiaoxiao opened those claws and opened her eyes
Cang Jue: "You're awake. You must be exhausted."
Guo Xiaoxiao gave him a push
"Get lost! You never let yourself off the hook..."
Actually, Guo Xiaoxiao wronged Cang Jue. This time, it was an accidental touch, not intentional. The little snakes were happy.
They ran around.
Cang Jue refused to explain; given his past behavior, any explanation would be futile. He smiled and took Guo Xiaoxiao's hand, walking deeper into the forest.
"It's no fun if it's all trees."
Cang Jue didn't answer: "Go inside."
He walked a long way before stopping, letting go of Guo Xiaoxiao's hand, and pulling her to a giant tree. He took out a dagger and slashed the tree a few times, causing branches to fall down with a rustling sound.
A hole was revealed, a pitch-black hole.
"Xiaoxiao, go downstairs and rest for a bit, I'll be right up."
Guo Xiaoxiao was puzzled as to why Cang Jue had asked her to come here to dig a hole. She looked at the entrance of the hole.
It was very well hidden; if Cang Jue hadn't cut it open with his knife, she wouldn't have noticed the hole at all. She wondered what Cang Jue was up to.
Cang Jue rummaged around inside for a while, removing many branches and cleaning up before coming out.
"Alright, we'll sleep here tonight."
"It's still broad daylight, are you going to sleep already?"
"Of course not, I was just preparing in advance, trying out living in a cave and then living in a tree hollow..."
Cang Jue paused meaningfully for a moment, then said...
"Ahem, time to sleep."
Guo Xiaoxiao was confused. She knew that when he said "sleep," he didn't mean the kind where he slept completely still.
"Give up, I won't mate with you again."
Cang Jue hugged Guo Xiaoxiao and stroked her back.
"Okay, okay, we won't mate anymore, I'll do whatever you say."
Guo Xiaoxiao: "I'm serious, you can't keep bothering me like this. You have to let me rest. It can't be like this every time."
Cang Jue: "Okay, okay, I'll try my best to restrain myself and not touch you, alright?"
Guo Xiaoxiao: "..."
He was hugging and touching her all over, and he still had the nerve to say he was restraining himself. Guo Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. In any case, she couldn't let him get his way.
…
Arthur and his group searched extensively, but to no avail; the two had vanished. Fortunately, he had Cang Jue take Guo Xiaoxiao to safety.
It's rare for me to reluctantly give in this time, but Cang Jue is truly ungrateful. He has no strength, is the only four-star among them, and yet he has no self-awareness and even seeks the favor of the female.
After finishing his business in the tribe, Miksen asked Monet to tally up the losses and determine if any females or cubs had been harmed.
It was almost late at night and he still hadn't seen Cang Jue and Guo Xiaoxiao. Anxious, he ran to Arthur to ask why they hadn't been found yet, since he was the one who sent people to look for them. Arriving at the tent, he saw Arthur looking worried and depressed.
"Arthur, hasn't Xiaoxiao come back yet?"
Arthur: "Those two went to play and told me they won't be returning to Beast City for a while, saying they'll be back in a few days, but I don't know exactly how many days."
Mickelson sighed, "Just let them run wild and hurry back."
Arthur said in a deep voice, "You think I didn't tell you? Xiaoxiao has become stubborn for some reason. She won't listen to me, and she won't spend time alone with Cang Jue or go sightseeing together."
Mickson shook his head: "Cang Jue is good at sweet talk and playing the victim, he'll definitely be unable to resist Xiao Xiao."
"The inscription on the Beast God Stele is clearly reversed. He has never been ignored. Before you existed, he received far more attention than I did. He used this as an excuse to keep Xiaoxiao by his side."
If we have to say who was neglected, it's clearly him. Xiaoxiao should give him more love.
Arthur felt uncomfortable, but then he got down to business.
"By the way, I need to unite with the other tribes outside Beast City to discuss how to deal with the Beast King. I've given him too many chances; this time, we can't let him live any longer, lest he get carried away and come back to Beast City to cause trouble again."
"If the reaction is too strong, you and Randy should take some men to suppress it."
Miksen: "Who are you trying to ally with? Don't forget, the policy you offered was to have the surrounding tribal chiefs pay us a certain amount of grain in exchange for protection. Although they don't say it outright because of Beast City's power, they've long been dissatisfied with us. Getting their help might not be an option."
"Then kill the clan leader and replace him with another one."
A cold glint flashed in Arthur's eyes. He had done this before and wouldn't mind doing it a few more times.
"I did nothing wrong. To gain the protection of Beast City, you have to pay a certain amount of food. You can't do things for free."
"..."
Mickelson frowned. Here we go again. His brutality hasn't changed at all.
Carlos and Randy also entered the tent, both there because of Guo Xiaoxiao. Their eyes met, and before they could ask anything, Arthur directly answered their questions.
"Xiaoxiao hasn't been found. She's out traveling with Cang Jue. Don't ask anymore. Go back and wait for news."
Guo Xiaoxiao can communicate with her psychic powers now. They had asked each other privately, but Xiaoxiao hadn't contacted them, so they went to Arthur, who had been staying in the tent, to see if there was any news.
Carlos asked grimly, "Are you sure?"
Arthur nodded, meeting Carlos's unfriendly gaze.
"It's confirmed, they're together, inseparable, and don't want to see us."
"I'll go find it now."
None of them spoke; none of them wanted to be treated differently. Men are often more jealous than women.
