But Cang Jue didn't return; instead, Arthur did. He was also incredibly hot, with large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.
"How are you? Hot? Come in and soak in the tub."
Guo Xiaoxiao asked
Arthur shook his head, sat down to drink some water, then stood up again.
How long have you been running?
Arthur knew that staying in the water for a long time was bad for the female's health, so he would strictly control the amount of time Guo Xiaoxiao spent in the water whenever he was with her.
Guo Xiaoxiao felt much more comfortable and thought it was better to soak in the water, so she lied.
"I just came in a little while ago, and Cang Jue went to get me some food. He told me to wait for him in the water."
Arthur sniffed the bed and smelled the strong scent of mating; there was even a trace of moisture on it.
"Mating in broad daylight must be too hot. Can't you wait until night? I'll get sick from the heat."
Guo Xiaoxiao smiled sheepishly: "No, we didn't mate for long, only an hour or two. It's still early. Why are you back so early?"
Arthur wiped away his sweat but couldn't resist the temptation of the cold water. He took off the animal skin and went into the water tank, keeping a little distance from Guo Xiaoxiao because he knew she was afraid of the heat.
"Having finished our business, we drove away a few outsiders and handed the matter over to Shi Lin."
"He's quite efficient, but he's currently pursuing Irina."
Guo Xiaoxiao's gossip instincts kicked in. "Is it because Irina is pretty? What about Fala? Why hasn't anything happened between you and Fala?"
"Fara and Irina are a couple, right? Has Irina accepted him?"
Arthur was unaware that he still valued Falley highly, and had recently grown to appreciate him even more. Many orcs said he would live a lonely life.
So what? It just shows that Falley is focused on becoming stronger. As for Shi Lin, he started pursuing females as soon as he was given a task.
He didn't put in any effort for his career. He had clearly told him that he would be given a very good position when he returned to Beast City.
He turned his back and stopped striving for improvement. Before, he wanted to travel and become stronger, and he was even willing to leave the tribe. Now he is a completely different person from before.
In Shi Lin's eyes, Arthur's image is also different now than before. He has become more patient and considerate.
He still disliked his subordinates wasting his time on matters involving females, even though he had already found one himself, leaving his subordinates to watch helplessly.
"After Fala finished what I asked him to do, he went back to his room in the cave and didn't come out much. Whether Irina likes it or not, Fala won't be tempted. I think he's figured it out. He needs to focus on becoming stronger."
