"That's not the main issue. The main issue is that everyone has settled down now, and we want you to take charge and give the males more opportunities. There are still many single men out there."
Pshaw, what's the big deal? It's such a trivial matter, especially at mealtimes.
But looking at it from another angle, everyone only gathers around dinner time, so is it really necessary to come all the way to the Beast King for this? Why not just go and try to get it yourself?
Did they really expect a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for him? Guo Xiaoxiao didn't take it seriously, assuming Arthur would definitely be forcefully kicked out.
As it turned out… several of them actually gave it serious thought.
Irina, being a superior female, should choose a strong male to stabilize the tribe.
At the last bonfire, all the single females found their ideal partners, except for her. She even promised to choose a male after joining, so what's the point of this delay?
"That's not quite in accordance with the rules," Arthur said. "You mean she regretted it and looks down on the males of the tribe?"
Carter waved his hand: "No, no, I didn't say that. I just want to speed things up. She's taking too long to choose. How about we have a big showdown and pick a suitable strong opponent for her to choose from?"
He really, really liked Irina, but she always greeted everyone with a smile, was very kind and friendly, and never turned anyone away. Chatting with her...
They'll answer your questions very seriously, but if you ask them about getting married or anything like that, they'll deliberately change the subject and avoid the topic.
Carter tried several times to test Irina's feelings for him, but to no avail. Irina just kept avoiding him, and at crucial moments she would drag Adler out as a shield.
They had no other choice but to come to Arthur and his group. Finding a mate is a big problem for females, not a trivial matter.
Guo Xiaoxiao was already dissatisfied with this system; forcing someone to dislike it is like making a cow refuse to drink water—that's unacceptable. Irina, an outstanding woman...
With well-proportioned features, a good figure, and a sharp mind, one is bound to be picky when choosing a partner.
But in Arthur's eyes, apart from Guo Xiaoxiao, all the other females were just ordinary.
Arthur: "I understand. You can go now. Tomorrow I'll bring a few strong men for her to choose from. You've been performing very well lately, so you're within the selection range."
Carter smiled. "Thanks, Arthur. I won't disturb your meal any longer. Goodbye."
Anyway, after walking a few steps outside, he came back, took a small flower from his pocket, and handed it to Guo Xiaoxiao.
"This is for you. It smells wonderful. I'll head out now."
What does this mean? The people present frowned. Didn't he say he liked Irina? Giving flowers in front of them?
Mickelson sat back in his seat
"Arthur, you take the male with you tomorrow. Remember to say a few nice words to him and get rid of him."
Arthur: "I know without you telling me, we really can't let our guard down."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Guo Xiaoxiao.
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't dare touch the flower, leaving it on the table unattended. Carter, being clever, knew how to use a feint, thus making Arthur do everything he could to sell it.
Suddenly, I realized that life was actually pretty good. We didn't argue or quarrel, and I didn't mate with her. Arthur and the others were busy and around; I could see them working whenever I went out.
I hope these days never end. Please don't force her to bring up the issue of who the baby's father should be again. Just quietly pretend you don't know.
But problems must always be faced.
Everything was in place; the defensive fences were set up in an orderly fashion; the hunters had become familiar with the area and marked their territories; and once time had stopped, the various factions were already restless.
How did Guo Xiaoxiao realize they were about to start arguing again? It was because Randy mentioned it while having lunch with her.
"You said you'd be in charge of everything at home from now on. We've all finished our work, and tonight we're waiting for you to decide the mating order."
Oh no, a big fight is inevitable. Guo Xiaoxiao tries to stop them; she doesn't want them to argue anymore. She's getting dizzy from listening to them.
But after much thought, how could I tactfully express the meaning of "Mr. Mickson's son"?
Guo Xiaoxiao had to balance everything perfectly, yet she also wanted to avoid upsetting them. This was an impossible choice; those ranked lower on the list would always be angry, even Mickelson, who was ranked lower.
But if you explain the reasoning clearly and someone still gets angry, there's nothing you can do. After thinking it over, I still believe that you should tell the truth.
As the head of the household, you must manage your male offspring well and not allow them to take over.
If you dare to argue, just throw a tantrum and argue even more fiercely than them, scaring them to death.
The imagination is beautiful, but reality is harsh. When she's in front of them, Guo Xiaoxiao becomes timid again, trying hard to adjust her mindset and put on an authoritative air.
Everything was normal at the beginning of the meal, and everything was normal after the meal. Was they not going to talk about it today? Guo Xiaoxiao was still sitting on the cushion, watching them come and go, feeling relieved.
As a result, Arthur sat down next to her and asked...
"It's been over two weeks since you gave birth. Have you experienced any discomfort afterward?"
Guo Xiaoxiao was about to say "very good," but then she thought better of it and decided to just pretend.
"I'm still not feeling well; my lower abdomen hurts occasionally. I think we can't mate for a while. You'll just have to bear with it."
A glint of light flashed in Arthur's eyes.
"Oh, really? I'll go get you some herbs; drink them for a couple more days and you'll be fine."
As Arthur was about to go find Monet and Alo, Guo Xiaoxiao got up and grabbed Arthur's hand.
"Wait, wait, don't go, don't go, I won't take my medicine!"
Mickelson and Randy, always honest, didn't realize that Guo Xiaoxiao was pretending to be anxious.
Mickelson: "How can you get better without medication? I'll get Monet right away."
Randy: "Yes!!"
When Randy gets a little flustered, he talks less and just jumps out one by one.
Cang Jue moved the eggs to the room where Guo Xiaoxiao was staying. He only went to the third floor occasionally. Even if they couldn't mate, the house was a bit crowded with five males, so they still had to take turns going to the third floor.
