Arthur's gloom vanished; in fact, he felt a stroke of good fortune. Before he could even speak, a windfall had fallen from the sky. He wholeheartedly agreed; it was Guo Xiaoxiao's own decision, and anyone who dared to disobey would face his wrath without hesitation.
Carlos had hoped to gain some advantage, but he ended up not only failing to do so but also benefiting Arthur. How could this be allowed?
Besides being at a disadvantage due to their age, the three younger beasts were unhappy. Shouldn't being younger mean more mating rights? This is incredibly unfair!
Arthur acted decisively, giving them no chance to protest, and made the decision immediately.
"Okay, it's settled. You two can't argue anymore."
Stop arguing, or she won't be a masculine woman. First and foremost, Cang Jue, who talks the most, takes the lead.
"Xiaoxiao, you have to consider that we're young, but still full of vigor. It's unreasonable to let Arthur cut in line. At Sushi, there are guys older than Arthur who haven't found females yet. You can't favor him just because he's older."
Randy: "If we're talking about age, I'm the youngest of them."
Mickelson: "Xiaoxiao, you need to think this through. Even if they're 30 or older, it won't stop them from having children. Don't be fooled by him."
Um… Guo Xiaoxiao said again
"Alright then, let's forget about it then. We'll talk about it later. Let's just follow the original plan and take it one step at a time."
Arthur's benefits were canceled again, his mood fluctuating like a rollercoaster, but he didn't say anything. For the sake of fairness, it was better for him not to interrupt; he didn't have as many tricks up his sleeve as Carlos.
Carlos, taking advantage of the situation, said...
"Then let's stick to the original plan. Xiaoxiao is still young, and mating too frequently is not good. Once a day is enough. Don't argue anymore, let's leave it at that."
Carlos has a knack for peacemaking; he's said everything he could want without offending anyone, and he phrases things tactfully—he's a master of interpersonal relationships.
Guo Xiaoxiao noticed that Carlos's demeanor had changed. He no longer had the aloofness he used to have in the team; he was more peaceful and could even sit down and talk with them calmly.
Carlos used to have no desire to associate with them. Even when they were under the same roof, he would keep his distance and avoid communication, acting like an outsider, only speaking to Guo Xiaoxiao.
This is a good change. Didn't Guo Xiaoxiao ask him what happened?
In short, a harmonious, united, and loving atmosphere is the scene she most wants to see.
"See that? We should learn from Carlos; what a great attitude he has!"
Carlos smiled knowingly. He'd calm them down after their argument; the better days were yet to come.
After negotiation, Guo Xiaoxiao's opinion was adopted. Arthur had no say in the matter, but he didn't care about that. He only cared about whether Guo Xiaoxiao was still paying attention to him.
I seemed really angry yesterday, and I slapped him twice. This felt completely different from hitting him during mating, especially for a thin person or someone managing subordinates.
He could kick them away and yell at them for being useless, but not the females. He couldn't hit them or yell at them too harshly. What could he do? Scaring her wouldn't work either.
Arthur was a very proud orc, and he was proud of it. He believed he could control his females, but now that they were out of his control, he was afraid of losing them.
Was what he did really so outrageous? He just can't bring himself to apologize.
After lunch, they gradually left in the afternoon. Carlos had to go outside the city to deal with the wandering orcs; many issues regarding the free tribes they had established were still unresolved.
Cang Jue has been away from the Beast City tribe for too long, and there are mountains of affairs to handle. A Luo has helped manage important matters and still needs him.
Randy, as usual, left the tribe to Abil and spent his days with Guo Xiaoxiao.
Randy was called away by Abill today. Abill said that the wolf heart he collected last time had caused problems after the orcs took it as a medicinal ingredient, and he needed to go check on it.
Today, only Guo Xiaoxiao was home alone. Oh, no, there was also Arthur, the workaholic, who surprisingly stayed behind.
Is she afraid that Randy will run away again without watching her, so she has to keep an eye on her herself?
For a while after Carlos returned, she went out to date him. Because Randy kept getting lost, Arthur personally accompanied her for a day or two.
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't mention Arthur's anger. She had also acted impulsively yesterday and slapped him twice, which she regretted. However, she was very satisfied with the result.
"Aren't you busy today? You're the Beast King; those chieftains come to see you every day. Go and attend to the tribe's affairs; you don't need to keep me company."
Arthur thought Guo Xiaoxiao was sulking, and was she trying to shoo him away? If it were Randy, she wouldn't be like this, right? He's different; does he not want to be with her?
What should he do in this situation? Should he try to comfort her, or let her calm down?
Looking down at Guo Xiaoxiao, he didn't like her saying that. Why did she have to work so hard?
"Don't overthink it, I'll always be with you, don't worry."
"No, I just meant you don't need to be with me all the time."
Guo Xiaoxiao looked at Arthur's serious expression and felt a little helpless. She had clearly been worried, but her efforts had backfired.
Arthur reached out and stroked Guo Xiaoxiao's cheek; her delicate, smooth skin touched his fingertips.
"I'm not busy, you're more important."
After Arthur finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her soft lips.
Guo Xiaoxiao was stunned for a few seconds, then nudged Arthur.
I'm a little thirsty.
Arthur raised his head
I'll go get you some water.
He then went to the puddle and fetched some water.
Then he handed it to Guo Xiaoxiao to drink.
Guo Xiaoxiao took the water glass. Arthur seemed a little strange. After Guo Xiaoxiao finished drinking, he took the glass from her hand, hugged her, and moved closer to her intimately.
"Want to mate?"
Arthur shook his head
"If you don't want to mate, that's fine."
Holy crap, those two slaps were really powerful! Arthur's head is all meek and submissive like a little wife. It's really hard to get used to seeing Arthur so docile.
I'm hungry.
"Didn't you eat your fill?"
Guo Xiaoxiao blinked
"Mmm, I'm hungry again."
Arthur hugged Guo Xiaoxiao tighter and nuzzled her neck affectionately.
"I'll grill some meat for you, just sit here and wait for me."
Arthur didn't stop, quickly walked away, and soon returned with a plate of roasted meat, sprinkling it with salt before placing it on the table.
"Try it."
"kindness"
Guo Xiaoxiao picked up a piece with her fork and took a bite.
"How about it"
"It smells so good!"
Guo Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "I ate another big piece."
"You give it a try; if it's not enough, I can bake some more."
As he spoke, Arthur added another large piece of meat to Guo Xiaoxiao's plate.
"Enough, enough!"
Arthur smiled contentedly, picked up the meat beside him, and began to eat with them.
The two of them ate slowly, each taking a bite and enjoying the pleasure of the food.
Guo Xiaoxiao was so full that he lay on the mat, half-dead. He had eaten two meals in a short period and needed to go out to digest, otherwise he would definitely gain weight.
Guo Xiaoxiao glanced at Arthur, who was busy tidying up on the table, got up from the cushion, and quietly walked over. Suddenly, she hugged Arthur's strong waist from behind.
Arthur paused slightly, his hand stiffening for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
