"It's nothing, I just noticed you seemed a bit down and wanted to cheer you up."
She whispered in Arthur's ear, her breath tickling his neck.
Arthur endured it, turned around, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, hugged her tightly, and sat down on the table.
Do you know what you're doing?
"I know, I'm just trying to comfort you."
Guo Xiaoxiao tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling, and stared at Arthur.
Arthur lowered his head and bit Guo Xiaoxiao's red lips.
"Mmm"
The two separated, and Guo Xiaoxiao, panting, looked at Arthur. His gaze was dark and filled with intense desire.
Arthur pinched Guo Xiaoxiao's chin and whispered in her ear in a deep voice.
"Is it time for us to mate?"
"kindness"
Arthur lowered his head and kissed Guo Xiaoxiao's lips again, his tongue prying open her teeth and entwining with hers.
Guo Xiaoxiao stopped struggling. Coercion occurs when both parties are unwilling to have sex, but this was her consent, which makes a difference.
Arthur released her, looked at the already intoxicated Guo Xiaoxiao, licked his lips, and then lowered his head to kiss her forehead and the bridge of her nose.
"You taste so sweet."
He murmured
"Put it on the mat."
A long, lingering afternoon…
…
When Randy arrived at the Nightfall tribe's location, he found an orc lying on an animal skin in a tent, surrounded by several people looking at him, especially the veterinarian Wen Yi, who looked very worried.
If it were just a case of the disease not being cured after ingesting it, that would be one thing. But now the situation is much more serious. This orc is being parasitized by something.
Abir was helping to handle things in the tribe; such a big matter needed to be told to him.
Randy: "What's wrong with him?"
The orc's face was ashen, and he still retained his last vestiges of consciousness. When he saw Randy arrive, he opened his mouth but spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"vomit…"
Randy crouched down to check
"Are you sure it was because you ate the wolf king's heart that it turned out like this?"
The ordinary wolf king he killed wasn't poisonous. The Night Ling tribe had a unique skill in using the heart of a wolf as medicine, a recipe known only to Wen Yi. They often did this to promote recovery.
"Yes, I used my heart as medicine for him today, and he was the only one who took it. He turned out like this in no time."
Wen Yi also discovered that there were tiny, thread-like worms under the skin of the orc, like parasites, lurking throughout his body, and producing varying degrees of convulsive reactions as he changed.
"Being parasitized is troublesome; it would be terrible if it infected other orcs. He's not dead yet, but he certainly won't live much longer. Let's find a place to burn him."
"no!!"
A beastman roared at the veterinarian Wen Yi, the most outstanding hunter of the Ye Ling tribe, who was in charge of each hunting mission. His name was Xian, and he couldn't bear to lose his brother Sang.
Wen Yi knew that Sang Da was very important to Xian, but they couldn't delay any longer. They couldn't save him now; only death could bring him relief.
"What else will you do?"
Randy thought for a moment and suggested
"Send him to a cave outside the city and settle him there. Xian, take good care of him. I'll go ask Alo and Monet if they have any ideas. Don't make any further decisions."
Randy's suggestion was unanimously approved. They couldn't abandon their people. Ye Ling was very united. The parasites were terrifying, but to burn a living beast alive was too cruel.
Wen Yi had no choice but to agree. In fact, his method was the best. Medical conditions were too poor; if someone died from this infectious disease, it could be a matter of extinction for the entire clan.
Orcs have a low survival rate to begin with; very few live to be 200 years old, especially males. Once they grow old, they can only rely on their offspring for sustenance.
Most importantly, the female is physically weak and will die along the way. The male beast that has formed a mate will also perish due to the backlash from the beast mark.
Tribal wars and natural disasters both increased their mortality rate.
Wen Yi, Monet, and Alo never found partners. They lived to old age, accumulating experience to become elders and veterinarians. Although they no longer participated in hunting, they still provided value to the tribe.
Randy finds Monet and the others and tells them what parasites are all about.
Monet and Alo were both shocked; they were studying the latest herbs and the potion prepared by Guo Xiaoxiao together.
They haven't given up yet, believing that they can only rely on their own efforts to achieve the same immediate effects as Guo Xiaoxiao's water.
"Where did the parasites come from? Are they already around Beast City? When were they discovered?"
Monet and Arlo's unanimous question revealed their shock.
Randy frowned.
"I don't know the specifics either, but some orcs in our tribe have been parasitized, and I came to find you as soon as I heard that."
"This is incredible!"
"Yes, parasites are very powerful. They have many ways to reproduce, and it would be terrible if someone else got infected next time."
They both decided on the same simple and direct method as Wen Yi.
Monet: "Go and burn it quickly, and ask him what he's been eating lately."
Randy: "No, he's not dead yet."
Alo urged anxiously, "Whether they live or die, they have to be burned. Orcs infected by parasites generally don't live long, and if they die, the parasites will crawl out and infect others. It will be too late to regret it then. Listen to me, go burn them quickly!"
Randy thought they were overthinking it; he'd been in direct contact with the heart, so how come he was alright? He held the heart in his hand for a while before putting it back into the animal hide.
He recounted the entire incident to Alain and Monet.
The two of them moved a meter away from Randy.
"You're holding that filthy thing in your hand, it's not even fit to be looked at. Lie down and let me examine you."
Alo let Randy lie on the animal skin.
Is it really that scary?
