Cang Jue seemed not to hear Guo Xiaoxiao's cries and continued his actions, his hands roaming restlessly over her body.
At times like these, Guo Xiaoxiao felt like a fish on a chopping board, completely powerless to resist them; they were tall and strong, and she couldn't push them away.
Guo Xiaoxiao steeled her heart and slapped Cang Jue across the face with a resounding thud.
"Don't touch me!"
Cang Jue stopped what he was doing and looked at Guo Xiaoxiao. He didn't feel much pain; Guo Xiaoxiao's strength was so light it was like a dragonfly skimming the water, Cang Jue barely felt it.
He stopped because he realized Guo Xiaoxiao was really angry, and if he angered her further, she might bite him in frustration, which would be troublesome.
Cang Jue wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and then closed it again, finally only able to retreat a little in frustration.
"Don't be angry..."
whisper
"Getting angry is bad for your health, let's go to sleep."
Guo Xiaoxiao stared at Cang Jue and said angrily.
"I don't want to sleep with you."
She knew that Cang Jue would use every means to take advantage of her; this Cang Jue was too dishonest, and she had to be very careful.
Cang Jue still went along with Guo Xiaoxiao
"Okay, then you sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the floor."
After saying that, Cang Jue indeed went into the house and readily lay down on the ground.
Guo Xiaoxiao looked at his cheeky, smug face as he lay on the floor, looking utterly ridiculous. She felt helpless, her mind in turmoil, and she was wide awake.
He discovered it, and the wooden house was too high off the ground for Guo Xiaoxiao to get down. She could only stare helplessly.
Having no other option, Guo Xiaoxiao had to lie back down on the animal skin mat.
"Don't come up here!"
Cang Jue agreed, turned over, facing away from Guo Xiaoxiao, and closed his eyes to rest.
This time, Cang Jue didn't resort to any dirty tricks and behaved much better.
After waiting for quite a while without any further disturbance from him, Guo Xiaoxiao gradually relaxed her guard and fell asleep.
The night breeze was blowing gently...
She didn't know how much time had passed until Cang Jue called her, at which point she woke up. The place for the meal was again in the threshing ground.
After inquiring, I learned that they ate together almost every day, held meetings, and announced important events, also at the venue.
It was a rule set by Cang Jue to increase tribal cohesion and encourage more tribesmen to integrate.
If you look closely, you'll notice that some of the eagles are different species, which is reflected in the length of their talons. A strict rule is that only eagles capable of flight are allowed to join.
For example, the eagle population in Cangjue mainly consists of black-feathered vultures, blue-winged eagles, golden-winged rocs, white storks, and two-headed eagles.
Except for mealtimes, Cang Jue is never by Guo Xiaoxiao's side, and these past few days have been a rare period of leisure.
Cangjue allows Guo Xiaoxiao to roam freely within the tribe. Where can a flightless female go? There's no way down the mountain. Unless a male can fly down, Guo Xiaoxiao would only suffer a freefall and be smashed to pieces.
Then Guo Xiaoxiao discovered that not only had Cang Jue disappeared after finishing his meal, but many males had also followed him out.
At night, you could hear the males dragging back something very heavy, which looked like stones and tree trunks.
Guo Xiaoxiao asked Cang Jue what he was doing bringing all these things back every day, and Cang Jue simply said it was for future planning.
Meanwhile, Miksen was also actively preparing. Just like Cang Jue had planned, the duel was one thing, but regardless of who won or lost, a major battle was inevitable.
He had the males dig many hidden burrows so that, in case of fighting, the females and cubs could all hide inside. These burrows were located not far from Miken's Cave and were relatively well-hidden, so that the eagles' attacks with falling rocks and tree trunks would not hit these locations.
The rest is not a problem; he must defeat Cang Jue.
…
The three-day agreement passed in the blink of an eye, and the time for Cang Jue and Miksen's duel arrived.
The Sishui tribe was in high spirits. Every male rose early, and the females also came out to bid farewell to the males who were about to go to Mingbei. The males who had females were all Star Ring Beastmen, and they were all warriors who rushed to the front in times of crisis.
Cang Jue hadn't let Guo Xiaoxiao eat at the farm; instead, he brought her the fruit and meat directly. Everyone was preparing...
"After we eat, let's go to the Mingbei."
"Mingbei?"
"The place where I dueled with Mickelson, the place that will decide who is the male."
Cang Jue raised an eyebrow at Guo Xiaoxiao as he spoke, exuding confidence.
"Today you'll find out who's worthy of you, and tonight you'll keep your promise; we'll mate."
"You should beat Bickson first."
Guo Xiaoxiao was unconvinced and filled with anxiety. She felt uneasy, as if it were a life-or-death situation. She didn't want Cang Jue to win, and she didn't want Miksen to lose. In other words, she didn't want any casualties caused by her.
Cang Jue snorted coldly.
"I have no reason to lose. You're watching closely as I defeat Mickelson."
He was certainly not afraid of Mickelson. Mickelson was no weakling, and besides, Mickelson would definitely go all out this time. After these few days of preparation, he absolutely could not afford to lose.
Guo Xiaoxiao clenched her fingers, finally unable to resist her inner anxiety, and tentatively asked...
"Cang Jue, will there be any death in your duel?"
Cang Jue stood at the doorway stretching his body, saying as if it were commonplace.
"Of course you'll die. In a duel between orcs, as long as you're alive, you can't admit defeat. If you give up without fighting to the death, it proves you're a very weak orc, and you'll never get the right to mate in this lifetime. No female will ever want you."
Ah!? Guo Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat. She wasn't afraid of death, but she also didn't want Cang Jue and Mikeson to die.
"Then... can we end the duel early?"
She tried to persuade Cang Jue, "Don't go for the kill!"
"No, once an agreement is made, it's an unbreakable promise. It involves the chieftains of two tribes, and the news has already spread among the other smaller tribes."
Cang Jue's answer was resolute.
At that moment, Guo Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a chill run through her body. Her body would react whenever she was nervous. She muttered to herself...
I don't want to go anymore.
Cang Jue didn't hear the question clearly.
"What did you say?"
Guo Xiaoxiao realized what was happening and answered.
"It's okay, just call me when you're leaving."
Cang Jue nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Judging by the sun's altitude, it was roughly between 10:30 and 11:00. Without a clock, Guo Xiaoxiao could only rely on the sun and moon to tell the time.
Cang Jue led Guo Xiaoxiao to the arena, where a large number of orcs had gathered. They were all shouting, celebrating, and excited, waiting for the battle to begin.
Even if they face the possibility of death, they will not be afraid to fight.
Guo Xiaoxiao stood beside Cang Jue, quietly observing the males of this world. Their blood was boiling, their passion surging, a stark contrast to her own emotions.
At this moment, Guo Xiaoxiao seriously reflected on herself, wondering if she had been too cowardly. She even felt that if Cang Jue and Mikesen were to fight, the final outcome, and who would die, would be entirely due to her instigation.
Caused
Guo Xiaoxiao grew increasingly uneasy. This conflicting feeling made her uncomfortable. She had transmigrated from the real world to this place and had been troubling others the whole time, doing no good deeds whatsoever. All the disputes and unpleasantness revolved around her.
