Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent for three seconds to process the news.
Firstly, their competition this time revolves around the females, with a duel to determine who will gain the right to form a mate.
Seeing that no one spoke up, Guo Xiaoxiao continued...
"Then there's no need to fight."
Unable to determine a victor, the orcs watching the spectacle did not want the duel to end like this.
They were a small race with a small population, always overshadowed by the Yushan and Sishui tribes. If they could kill a Star Ring Beastman in this battle, it would be entirely beneficial.
Those who weren't there to watch the duel all had their own ulterior motives, which they didn't say aloud.
But they couldn't decide that if the female truly allowed Miksen and Cangjue to become her males, the duel could not continue.
There's an agreement in the beast world: only when one beast is defeated or completely loses its competitiveness will the other beast acquire a female.
During the duel, the female demanded two males to become her mate—this was the first time such a thing had ever happened.
It's impossible to fight anymore...
Among the flock of eagles, veterinarian Alo suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Female, are you serious?"
Mickelson hadn't expected Guo Xiaoxiao to make this decision. He admitted he was her male, and he was definitely happy about it; he had finally managed to convince himself of it.
If Guo Xiaoxiao meets a male she likes in the future, will she be able to be magnanimous enough to accept him?
But the male was none other than Cang Jue, who had always been at odds with him.
"Xiaoxiao, I can beat him. That scoundrel is cunning and treacherous; don't let him fool you."
Cang Jue's face darkened upon hearing this voice. Cang Jue was always more perceptive than Mikeson, understanding the female's good intentions; clearly, Guo Xiaoxiao's actions indicated she didn't want them to continue fighting.
What a kind female, no wonder he chose her.
In the beast world, females see two males fighting and taking pride in each other, or rather, they enjoy watching the beastmen fight for them.
Alo retaliated without hesitation.
"Who are you calling a dead tiger? Say it again."
Alo always hated being called smelly, especially by guys with weird looks and bad tempers.
"You must make Cang Jue your male."
Mikel was the most surprised among the orcs. Everyone knew what kind of person Cang Jue was—a liar who liked to play dirty tricks.
Importantly, he had always believed that Guo Xiaoxiao would spend her life with his brother and wouldn't accept other males; he had even tested her before.
Guo Xiaoxiao had said she only wanted one male, Mikeson, and he was almost ready to give up. But after being captured by Cang Jue for just a few days, he changed his mind! It was her decision, he couldn't control it, but he felt betrayed.
Mikel's expression shifted unpredictably. Mikexon noticed something was wrong with Mikel and turned his head away.
"Mikel, let's hear what Xiaoxiao has to say first."
"I'm going to make Cang Jue my male, along with Mickson and the other one."
She wanted things to go smoothly; it would be best if they all agreed.
Are you sure?
Mickelson's voice trembled slightly.
Yes, I'm sure.
She sacrificed so much; it was the only method Guo Xiaoxiao could think of. We'll deal with the rest later. At least we managed to save one of your lives.
Guo Xiaoxiao's expression didn't seem like she was lying.
Even if Mikkelsen was unwilling, Guo Xiaoxiao's wishes couldn't prevent a female's right to choose a mate. As a male, he was already facing the issue of mate selection.
"Since you insist, then I'll agree."
Mickelson nodded
"That's fine then."
Peace was something Alo had longed for, and it finally came true, though the way it came about was a bit strange.
The other orcs shook their heads. It was too disappointing for a duel to end like this; both sides thought one of them would die, but... well, that's how it was.
Cang Jue transformed into human form and landed on the ground. From beginning to end, he never objected to Guo Xiaoxiao's suggestion. In his eyes, he supported everything Guo Xiaoxiao did.
His gaze towards Guo Xiaoxiao was deep and intense.
His hand rested on his chest; his restless heart told him that he wanted her, he wanted to possess her.
Xiaoxiao
Mikkson, now in human form and bearing horrific scars, walked to Guo Xiaoxiao's side and grasped her hand firmly, his resolve unwavering.
"Um"
Guo Xiaoxiao replied calmly, she simply couldn't face his gaze so openly.
"Thank you"
Mickelson's voice is deep, husky, and magnetic, making it very pleasant to listen to.
"At least you made me your male."
Guo Xiaoxiao smiled, a smile that looked more like a grimace. They were being far too polite; none of them had resolved her problems, and they'd only gotten her into more trouble. She was doomed…
Cang Jue looked at their clasped hands and, unwilling to give in, took Guo Xiaoxiao's other hand in his own.
"What about me, Xiaoxiao? Can I be the first to mate?"
Damn it, Guo Xiaoxiao's hand trembled violently and she slid down. Mickson quickly steadied her.
"careful"
After regaining her footing, Guo Xiaoxiao gave Mickson an awkward smile.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly got a leg cramp."
I want to cry…
Seeing this, Cang Jue quickly grabbed Guo Xiaoxiao's arm, saying worriedly...
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
The three of them were close together, and Guo Xiaoxiao's slight swaying was enough to sense her nervousness. Guo Xiaoxiao tried to sound calm and said...
"I'm fine, my legs just went numb from standing for so long."
Can I tell you that I was so scared my legs went weak?
Let me rub it for you.
As he spoke, Cang Jue's hand touched Guo Xiaoxiao's knee.
Guo Xiaoxiao immediately glared at him
"Stop! There are so many people here, be careful!"
"Let me give you a massage to improve blood circulation and remove blood stasis."
Get out of here!
Guo Xiaoxiao angrily pushed him away, her earlier tension vanishing.
"You've already acknowledged that I'm male, why are you still being petty?"
Cang Jue was pushed to the ground. He stood up and muttered aggrievedly. He was actually quite injured as well; his arms were covered in blood, and he was a little weak.
You're the one who's stingy.
Guo Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes
Miksen and Cang Jue exchanged glances, puzzled.
Mikel couldn't bear to watch any longer amidst the tiger pack and left first.
Where is Mikel going?
Sam called out, following Mikel's retreating figure, but Mikel left without looking back.
The battle was over. Not wanting to witness these three being all lovey-dovey, the other orcs from various tribes left, grumbling and cursing.
Some of the bolder ones tried to get closer to see Guo Xiaoxiao's face clearly, but before they could get any closer, they were blocked by the tigers and eagles, and couldn't see her from the side, so they had to give up.
"You'd better treat your wounds quickly."
Alo, standing nearby, offered a word of caution: judging by his spirits, he probably hadn't suffered any internal organ damage, but the significant blood loss could be serious.
"I know, Xiaoxiao, let's go back to the tribe."
Cang Jue wanted to strike first, grabbing Guo Xiaoxiao and flying into the sky to take her away. Mikesen reacted quickly, grabbing her other hand. All of Guo Xiaoxiao's belongings were in Mikesen's cave, and she didn't want to go back to the Sishui tribe with Cang Jue.
"I'm going with Miken today, not back to the Sishui tribe. Go back and treat your wounds first, then come find me."
"Xiaoxiao..."
Cang Jue was displeased, and Guo Xiaoxiao was even more displeased.
"I've sacrificed so much, can't you just give me a break?"
