Cang Jue, transformed into an eagle beast, was incubating the eggs. The babies were due in ten days, extending his workload and preventing him from joining the fray. He whispered in his throat...
"Incubating the eggs is too tiring for me, I want to be first in line for mating."
Mickelson: "Xiaoxiao's stomach hurts, and you're still thinking about mating? Do you even care about her?"
Cang Jue's eagle eyes held a hidden meaning.
"Really? Xiaoxiao, say it again, does your stomach really hurt? I'll call Aluo over."
Guo Xiaoxiao: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt at all. I was just kidding. It doesn't hurt at all. I'm in great shape. I could run several hundred meters without any problem."
"Don't call Alo and Monet, I don't want to drink the herbs at all. If you make me drink them again, you might as well just kill me."
Good heavens, can it be that serious? Randy's condition is this serious too, and he doesn't like drinking herbal medicine either; making him drink it would be like killing him.
Randy can't even do mouth-to-mouth feeding like Carlos; he'd probably spit it out as soon as it's in his mouth.
Carlos joked, "Don't pretend we're just concerned about you."
Feigning illness is a losing proposition, as Guo Xiaoxiao said, "It's a case of harming yourself a thousand while hurting the enemy a hundred."
"I'm not forcing myself, I'm just telling you guys. I'm just... tired and want to rest for a couple more days."
All he does all day is eat and sleep, and he plays with the little snakes. Cang Jue takes care of the eggs too. What's there to be tired about?
Arthur's mouth moved slightly, he paused, and then said...
"I have desires. You think I'm not restless sleeping next to you? I've fantasized countless times about pinning you down."
Cang Jue: "Me too, okay? I'm about to hatch, incubating the egg is exhausting, and I have nowhere to vent my frustration."
Carlos: "Stop talking. Let Xiaoxiao arrange the order. If she really doesn't want to, I don't want to force her."
Carlos may have sweet words, but they only have superficial understanding. Spending a few days with him reveals that Carlos is exceptionally good at understanding people.
Knowing that retreating is a strategic advance, Cang Jue's method was similar to Carlos's—using delaying tactics to entangle her. However, Carlos had a skill; he could make Guo Xiaoxiao willingly allow herself to be entangled.
He had many methods at his disposal, such as feigning pitifulness and taking a step-by-step approach to gradually ensnare Guo Xiaoxiao. However, sometimes he would pester her for too long, and Guo Xiaoxiao would get annoyed and frustrated. But he always found a way to please her.
Carlos wandered around and bent down.
"Xiaoxiao, if you're not happy, we'll wait a bit longer. You don't need to consider us; it's your nature for a man to listen to you. Just do whatever makes you comfortable."
The men present cursed inwardly, thinking, "What a pretentious show, so cunning!"
He clearly doesn't think that way at all; his attempts to please females are purely for the purpose of winning their favor.
Carlos didn't care what others thought; all he cared about was Guo Xiaoxiao. In Guo Xiaoxiao's heart, he had always been that gentle person.
Guo Xiaoxiao seemed to be in the wrong.
It's like having a harem but not having any of your favorites, just keeping them around for show—that's not right. Actually, after giving birth, I didn't feel any physical discomfort; I could eat and drink normally, jump and play freely—everything was great.
But all I want is a peaceful and stable life, I don't want any more trouble. Okay, since that's the case, let's get to work.
The soundproofing in the grottoes is really bad. The sound of male and female mating on the third level is incredible!
The sound echoed in the air, lingering for a long time. What are single males supposed to do? It's so frustrating to just listen to the sound and have to deal with it alone!
Every night, Guo Xiaoxiao hears the females calling out, each one louder than the last, without any shame. Is she the only one who feels embarrassed?
Even though they were in the inner chambers, she needed to keep the noise down, even during mating, because she didn't want anyone to hear.
Guo Xiaoxiao cleared her throat.
"Then let's sort this out."
All eyes were on him, hoping to be the first.
Guo Xiaoxiao felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at, but she endured the discomfort.
"Carlos first, Randy second, Mickson third, Arthur fourth, and Cang Jue fifth."
Damn, how did he get to fourth place? Arthur has always been against prioritizing ability over family hierarchy; in a family, individual ability should determine one's status.
But Guo Xiaoxiao insisted on fairness and justice, and what kind of fairness was this? Arthur's mood plummeted, and his face... well, it's hard to describe.
He even glared at Guo Xiaoxiao with a hint of menace; if he hadn't been so good at holding back, he would have scared Guo Xiaoxiao half to death.
He tried to calm himself down and asked the reason.
"What's the basis for your order? Why am I fourth? Cang Jue just had a cub and should be fifth. Why am I so far down the list? And why is that snake beast first?"
Arthur is certainly a skilled fighter, but when it comes to females, he always seems clueless and awkward, unlike Carlos who is much more adept at handling situations.
In some aspects, aside from strength, Arthur is the smartest among the five, but he lacks emotional intelligence. He can't say sweet words and it makes him seem very impulsive.
Guo Xiaoxiao wouldn't mind. Since they're together, they're all part of the same family, and no one will be excluded.
She had given it a lot of thought, and then it just slipped out.
But what they care about isn't the order of mating, but rather their perceived hierarchy and status within the family. To ordinary people, these are truly trivial matters.
If you expand the timeline to a harem, with five women waiting for your favor, the others will definitely be unhappy when you decide who's first.
It's an orcish temperament to begin with, easily agitated and out of control.
Carlos: "Don't be so fierce. You're always the one who argues the most."
Actually, if you count the number of times, Cang Jue always makes the most noise. Cang Jue is incubating the eggs and can't be moved around much, so he has to stay still, and he's still talking in his throat.
"This is unfair! It's so unfair! Xiaoxiao, look at me! I'm so tired all day. I have to take care of things in the tribe, and I have to incubate the eggs. I need your love!"
It was because of her previous dawdling and carelessness that they had argued. This time, Guo Xiaoxiao was determined not to change; what's said is said.
