Back in Beast City, she discovered that she wasn't just suffering from poor sleep quality; her back aches and pains were tolerable.
Arthur, really, how could he treat me so roughly? He bumped my back when he pressed down on me.
Dinner was barbecue, from Arthur's BBQ. Perhaps because she was in a bad mood, she didn't cook it well, and Guo Xiaoxiao could only barely swallow it.
Arthur also prepared honey water for her. After drinking it, Guo Xiaoxiao felt much refreshed and continued eating the barbecue. After finishing, she went to take a shower.
Cang Jue complained, "The meat looks a bit burnt. You're the Beast King in Beast City, and you can't even grill meat anymore?"
After dinner, Guo Xiaoxiao took a deep shower. When she came out, several males sat around the table, with Arthur in the center.
He thought about it for a long, long time, and then he stopped worrying and said...
"Xiaoxiao, come here."
Guo Xiaoxiao nervously went over and sat down, and Arthur began to announce to everyone.
"Xiaoxiao will decide the mating order; I won't interfere anymore. Let's just listen to her."
Guo Xiaoxiao listened to Arthur say these things, unable to believe that Arthur was saying them, but she was still very satisfied; the revolution had succeeded.
Do you all agree?
Carlos didn't object. Although he wanted to have Guo Xiaoxiao all to himself, Guo Xiaoxiao had taken Cang Jue away and hadn't returned for a month and a half.
He'd figured some things out. If he continued to treat her the way he used to, Guo Xiaoxiao would definitely abandon him.
One more thing, their star rings have recovered; if they all gang up on him, they won't be able to withstand it.
If the bond seal is broken once, Guo Xiaoxiao will probably never forgive him for the rest of her life. He must change his strategy and become a doting husband!
"Xiaoxiao, I'll go first tonight."
Guo Xiaoxiao agreed without hesitation: "Okay, but we won't mate today, it's too late. We'll arrange the order tomorrow."
As soon as Guo Xiaoxiao finished speaking, everyone else was shocked! It was already late, but their hearts were pounding with anxiety. They had been eagerly anticipating how Guo Xiaoxiao would allocate the resources, but now they had to wait until tomorrow.
After today's antics, I don't want to argue anymore; I'll just wait patiently for dawn.
…
The next day, after Guo Xiaoxiao woke up and ate meat, none of them went out. They all waited silently, waiting for the result she had mentioned.
Guo Xiaoxiao made eye contact with everyone, and they only gave her gentle smiles, without rushing to urge her on.
They lingered there until noon, still staying with her, not planning to go out anymore, just keeping her company.
He treated her the same way as always, but Arthur was suppressing his interest. Guo Xiaoxiao was helpless; after all, Arthur had taken her to the cave yesterday, and giving up at that crucial moment would have been disastrous.
He could only endure it; a couple of slaps wouldn't hurt. Arthur even let her hit him during mating, and although he used his power-up, it didn't seem to have caused any harm.
After much consideration, Guo Xiaoxiao said
"To be fair, I think the order should still be linked to when we meet, starting with Mickelson..."
Mickelson beamed with joy upon hearing the satisfactory answer. He was already quite tall, and his smile was like a radiant little sun.
Carlos is a completely different story; he was the last one to meet Guo Xiaoxiao. Does he have to be the last one in everything?
Xiaoxiao doesn't like ranking people by ability, so he'll use age instead.
“We’re all pretty familiar with each other now, Xiaoxiao. I have a suggestion: I think we should assign them according to age, from oldest to youngest, and so on.”
"Strength isn't important, but older people like me don't have much time left. If I don't hurry, having children later will be a problem."
Carlos said the problem wasn't really a problem, just a matter of order; he didn't say anyone was excluded, so it was an overreaction.
"It's okay, the ranking doesn't matter, everyone has a chance."
Carlos: "I understand. I'm not talking about rankings. Give us older folks more opportunities. It doesn't matter for them who are young. Arthur and I are getting old, so if we want to have kids, we'll just have to increase the frequency."
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent, probably not expecting such a move.
Arthur was filled with a mix of frustration and resentment. He was used to solving problems with his fists; asking him to calmly discuss things or argue with them was simply not for him.
Randy, being the youngest and first, was unwilling.
"Arthur is one thing, he's already had a litter of snake pups, and you're still thinking about increasing the number? I haven't even had a litter yet."
Wow, Randy, who's usually so quiet, is actually showing some backbone.
Carlos choked, realizing he'd forgotten about the little snake cub. Mickelson continued...
"There are plenty of men this age in the beast world who haven't found a female yet, Xiaoxiao, don't be fooled by him."
Cang Jue proudly said, "Xiaoxiao and I have been mating almost every day for the past month and a half, except during her heat. She might already be pregnant with my child. I'll take her to A Luo's place to see her later."
A month and a half has passed since that incident, and Cang Jue is bringing it up again; this is bound to incite public outrage!
Mickson: "Xiaoxiao, look at Cangjue, thirty days isn't enough, should we extend it to sixty days?"
Cang Jue looked smug, and even Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't stand it anymore. Guo Xiaoxiao threatened...
"Stop provoking them, or they really won't mate for a year, and you'll die of pent-up frustration."
"oh"
Cang Jue's aggrieved agreement
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't understand the optimal reproductive age for male beasts in their world. Being older was fine; they were all incredibly virile during mating and didn't believe that age meant shorter duration, or that older beasts could last longer. Carlos and Arthur were a perfect example.
Guo Xiaoxiao accepted the heavy responsibility of procreation, becoming part of a family and still bearing two children for someone else. Besides, children aren't difficult to raise; they're like little snakes—sensible and obedient, how wonderful!
The poor little snakes are always forgotten. Even after finding Guo Xiaoxiao's hiding place, Carlos ignores them again, forcing the snakes to eventually return to their den in the Beast City.
