That evening, Guo Xiaoxiao, still feeling scared after much deliberation, delayed her by saying that Mickelson's injuries hadn't fully healed for another day.
To prove his health, Mikkelsen consulted Monet and, after receiving Monet's permission, told Guo Xiaoxiao that he was now able to mate. Guo Xiaoxiao stammered and couldn't utter a single word of agreement.
Cang Jue didn't receive treatment from Guo Xiaoxiao and is still staying in the Sishui tribe, but he will definitely come to find her, without a doubt.
His absence had two purposes: first, to recover from his injuries; and second, to give Guo Xiaoxiao and Miksen enough time to become a couple. Cang Jue seemed to have a more open-minded view on the matter of mates.
I didn't think there was anything wrong with doing that!
For Cang Jue, having decided to pursue a life partner, he should accept and humble himself without reservation.
Based on Guo Xiaoxiao's appearance alone, she'll likely attract at least a dozen males in the future. Cang Jue had carefully considered this issue; choosing Mikeson would have been a much easier solution than choosing someone else.
If other males try to steal Guo Xiaoxiao in the future, these two will be a hurdle to overcome—one a 4-star ring inheritor beastman, the other a 5-star ring beastman. No one with eyes would dare to easily pursue Guo Xiaoxiao.
The strategy going forward is to keep a close eye on things and nip any potential problems in the bud…
Two more days passed, and Guo Xiaoxiao, in an attempt to stall for time, came up with every excuse imaginable: leg pain, backache, headache, weakness, and general discomfort. It was obvious to everyone that she was deliberately trying to avoid finding a partner.
Mickelson, being sensible, pretended to be oblivious. He wasn't in a hurry; he already knew Guo Xiaoxiao had feelings for him and wouldn't force her.
By the fifth day, even Guo Xiaoxiao felt guilty for dragging things out so long, and realized she had let Mikesen down. Mikesen, however, continued to show her his warm and attentive care, making Guo Xiaoxiao feel a pang of guilt.
On the other side, Cang Jue recovered quickly after five days of rest. He estimated that Miken and Guo Xiaoxiao must have finished their relationship by now, and it would be his turn.
They flew non-stop to Yushan Tribe and arrived at the entrance of Mikesen Cave.
At this moment, Mikson was squatting on the ground digging in the dirt. Guo Xiaoxiao said yesterday that she wanted to plant something in the ground. You really think this piece of land outside the cave is quite nice. I've seen the sheep tribe cultivate the land before, so I'm just trying to imitate them.
Cang Jue glanced at Mickson, noticing his hands were covered in dirt, and sneered.
"Haven't been able to hunt for days, are you digging in the dirt for food?"
Mickelson smelled his scent from afar, and he said unhappily.
What brings you here?
He stood up, brushed the dirt off his hands, walked up to Cang Jue, and stopped him outside the cave.
Why can't I come?
Cang Jue Jue is not happy; it's as if the female he's with belongs to you alone.
"You've come to see Xiaoxiao?"
Mickelson raised an eyebrow
"Nonsense, of course I'm here to see her. I can't wait any longer. Where's Xiaoxiao? You two are married now, it's my turn."
"Oh~"
Mikkson drew out the last syllable, gazing at the vast expanse.
"I really can't wait!"
"Get out of my way right now, you have to be my partner tonight!"
Cang Jue assumed a fighting stance, ready to force his way in, while Miksen calmly prepared to transform into his beast form, intending to fight him.
Hearing the noise, Guo Xiaoxiao ran to the cave entrance and saw the two facing off.
"What are you doing"
Upon hearing Guo Xiaoxiao's voice, Cang Jue turned around and looked at her. "The person I've been longing for has finally appeared!" he thought, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
"Xiaoxiao, if you don't come out soon, I'm going to beat him to a pulp."
Cang Jue said, extending his fist.
Guo Xiaoxiao glared at him, "You're the one who started this trouble," and turned to Mikeson to say...
Ignore him
Cang Jue quickly got to the point, looking Guo Xiaoxiao up and down, trying to find any marks on her body.
Guo Xiaoxiao was wearing her own clothes, revealing her two fair arms. It was hot today, so she was wearing short sleeves.
The temperature in the Beast World is extremely unstable, fluctuating between cold and hot. Although it's said that winter is approaching, there are still a few days that are quite hot.
No beast mark? ...Cang Jue patted his head in frustration.
"You two haven't been able to form a couple yet. Have you been spending these past five or six days together just playing around?"
Cang Jue's voice was very loud.
"kindness"
Mickelson was unwilling to respond, and Guo Xiaoxiao lowered her head in embarrassment, mainly because her problem had nothing to do with Mickelson.
Cang Jue is criticizing Mickson.
"Did Mickelson cripple you in the last match? If you're not up to it, I'll go tonight, you'll be next in line."
Mickson's face darkened. Cang Jue was always sarcastic, especially about his face, which Mickson couldn't stand no matter what. But considering that Guo Xiaoxiao had chosen him as her male partner, he couldn't bear to fight with him every day.
You're not good enough.
"That's because she doesn't have your beastly mark on her."
Mickelson pondered for a moment, paused for quite a while, and finally spoke.
"Xiaoxiao is not feeling well, so the wedding cannot be held for the time being."
Cang Jue looked at Guo Xiaoxiao suspiciously. He was skeptical; the little female clearly didn't want to mate. Cang Jue and Mikeson had different ideas. He felt that since it was already the first time, dragging it out wasn't a solution. The sooner it was done, the better. Better safe than sorry; he couldn't be sure Guo Xiaoxiao might suddenly change her mind.
He told Mickelson
"Look at her, is there anything wrong with her? I'm so generous of you to put her first, but after all these days, you haven't made any progress. Fine, Mickelson, you're just not cut out for it."
Cang Jue looked down on Miksen, who angrily swung his claws.
"Shut up"
"Oh…"
Cang Jue easily dodged it.
Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't get a word in edgewise, and it was definitely her fault. She was genuinely scared, afraid of the pain. She might as well have let Miken punch her unconscious during the ordeal.
The ritual of becoming a couple is completed after a night's sleep; whether they live or die will be determined the next day.
"I'm going to form a bond with Xiaoxiao tonight, you get out of the way."
