Arthur remained silent, watching Guo Xiaoxiao's every move. Thinking she was about to leave, he was about to get up to stop her, but she turned back.
Guo Xiaoxiao felt that staying like this was pointless, since Arthur didn't say a word. She thought it would be better to chat with him if she didn't want to.
Could it be that she's really angry about what happened yesterday and doesn't want to talk to her at all? She's helpless too, but for the sake of her pride, Guo Xiaoxiao doesn't want to back down, so let's just stay in this stalemate. Anyway, we'll go home when it's time.
Finally, Arthur couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative to break the deadlock. If this stalemate continued, he wouldn't get any benefits today.
"It's cool inside the cave."
"Yeah, I knew it was cool, that's why I came out with you."
"Can I touch your hand?"
"ah?"
Guo Xiaoxiao turned her head in confusion. Arthur meant exactly what he said; he wanted to get closer to Guo Xiaoxiao first, since some unpleasantness had occurred and he wanted to break the awkward silence.
Guo Xiaoxiao glanced at her palm. Did she even need to ask? Normally, when she wanted to touch it, she would just reach out her hand. Now, she was pretending to be all respectful.
"Whatever you want."
After hearing Guo Xiaoxiao's agreement, Arthur began to do what he was supposed to do without restraint.
Guo Xiaoxiao compromised and didn't resist; after all, she had come out with him precisely to take turns mating.
It wasn't that Arthur was angry; he was just a little annoyed because of that herb.
The temperature between the two gradually rose. Although it was cool inside the cave, they could feel beads of sweat on each other's bodies, which felt slippery to the touch.
The whole process was completed so naturally, and the movements were quite domineering and wild. This time, some high-difficulty challenges were taken.
Guo Xiaoxiao cooperated fully with Arthur throughout the clapping session, and everyone was happy. Arthur was also in high spirits because of the successful mating, and he hugged Guo Xiaoxiao and showered her with kisses.
"You're not angry with me anymore, are you?"
"I've never been angry with you; it's just that you don't want to talk to me."
Guo Xiaoxiao was stating the facts: Arthur was a proud orc who always hoped that Guo Xiaoxiao would apologize to him or take the initiative to reason with him.
But this time, Guo Xiaoxiao wanted Arthur to take the initiative. He kept apologizing or trying to reason with them and coax them.
Every time an unexpected situation arises, it lowers Guo Xiaoxiao's status in the family. Guo Xiaoxiao has come to terms with it and knows that they will not leave her.
Leave them out for a while, and they'll figure it out on their own. You won't have to waste your energy taking care of everyone.
Arthur bowed his head and apologized.
"I didn't mean it. I'm doing this for your own good. I'm not forcing you to take the medicine. I just want to make you feel a little better."
Guo Xiaoxiao understood Arthur's feelings, but when it came to certain bottom lines, she couldn't compromise. It was a matter of life and death; she absolutely refused to take the medicine.
"I know you mean well, but you still need to ask for my opinion first. Don't make the decision on your own, otherwise it's disrespectful to me."
"And Arthur, don't you think this cave is getting really hot? The sun's already at its highest point."
Arthur glanced at the golden expanse outside the cave.
"We came over after lunch, right when the sun was at its hottest. Is it alright in the cave? You must be really sensitive to the heat."
“It’s not that I’m afraid of the heat, it’s that it’s really hot. I don’t know how you hairy orcs survive, you’re still wearing animal skins.”
Guo Xiaoxiao was very annoyed. Even the thinner orc hides they wore were quite thick, so they didn't seem to notice the sweat dripping down their faces. They would just wipe it off with their hands and that was it, unlike her who whined every day.
“It’s this hot every summer. When I was in Shaocheng, the ground would get so hot that it was impossible to walk on it during the hottest days of the summer.”
Arthur was telling the truth; the desert wasn't at its hottest yet, it was early summer, and it would get hotter in the middle of summer.
Guo Xiaoxiao would exclaim that she couldn't stand it anymore, because stepping on the sand felt like being scorched by heat.
"In another month or two you won't be able to go out. The current temperature isn't even the highest yet. How did you usually get through the summer? I've noticed you're unusually sensitive to heat."
Guo Xiaoxiao used to have a tribe called Arthur that she made up, I remember what it was called again, Chongqing?
"Where I live has air conditioning. The continent I live on is known as a furnace, and it gets unbearably hot in the summer. But when I turn on the air conditioning at home, there's no heat at all."
"But it's really hot here, and this is just the beginning. I don't know how I'm going to get through the rest of the time, oh my god."
Arthur was very interested in the continent Guo Xiaoxiao mentioned. He had traveled extensively throughout the entire continent, from east to west and north to south, but he had never heard of a place called Chongqing.
What is an air conditioner?
Guo Xiaoxiao patiently explained to him
"Yes, it's a high-tech product. Once you turn it on and press the button, it blows out cool air. It blows all day long, so you can stay in that room and comfortably get through the summer."
"The switch button is too mysterious; I don't understand any of what you're saying."
Arthur genuinely didn't understand; he hated that he wasn't knowledgeable enough and didn't know as much as Guo Xiaoxiao.
Guo Xiaoxiao: "Just consider it a blessing from the Beast God, a way to cool everyone down because of the hot weather."
Arthur: "You can connect with the Beast God and have him give you something to cool you down, that will make you feel better."
