"Huh?" Guo Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at him in confusion.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to call you."
Cang Jue smiled helplessly.
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't think much of it and continued bending over to pick the fruit. Suddenly, Cang Jue pounced on her and hugged her.
Before Guo Xiaoxiao could figure out what was happening, two more hands appeared on her waist.
"Ugh... What are you going to do..."
Guo Xiaoxiao had just opened her mouth when Cang Jue said, "Just a hug, don't be nervous."
Hearing his calm voice, Guo Xiaoxiao was no longer so panicked; Cang Jue's embrace seemed very reassuring.
Sensing the changes in the person in his arms, Cang Jue's eyes darkened, a slight smile playing on his lips. He buried his head in her neck, then released her after a moment.
Cang Jue said gently, "I was thinking, if I don't bring you back, it wouldn't be bad for just the two of us to live together."
Guo Xiaoxiao: "That won't work."
"I know," "So I enjoy the present moment."
Guo Xiaoxiao looked at the fruit in her arms, wanting to say that she would go back today, but now she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Everyone has a possessive streak towards the person they like to some extent, but circumstances make it impossible for them to have someone all to themselves. Guo Xiaoxiao felt a little sad as she thought about it…
I have five males, and I don't know what to say, but that's just who I am. Saying anything is pointless; the only thing I can do is make sure none of them are ignored.
Cang Jue seemed to notice her unusual behavior and asked softly.
"What's wrong, Xiaoxiao?"
"Um...no."
"I flew you quite far, and you're in heat again. The smell is too strong, and I couldn't find any leaves to mask it. Let's stay a few more days, otherwise we'll attract a lot of orcs."
Guo Xiaoxiao thought about it and decided to let it go since she was already out. She nodded, "Whatever you say."
"Mmm, good boy..."
Cang Jue led Guo Xiaoxiao on a journey through the forest until nightfall.
…
The neglected few people spend their nights alone in empty rooms
The castle's animal hides still carried Guo Xiaoxiao's scent, and Randy rubbed against them, stroking and licking them incessantly.
Finally, Randy decided to go for a walk, and he left the castle quietly.
His target was another territory—the Misty Forest.
The Misty Forest is located deep in the mountains, surrounded by dense forests, teeming with poisonous creatures and fraught with danger. Outsider orcs rarely dare to approach unless they have a specific need.
The Misty Forest is also home to many strange beasts, including ferocious carnivores and a variety of plants and trees.
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss..."
A pack of wolves is attacking a giant python, whose body is covered in blood and it is clearly on its last legs.
The python was much larger than an ordinary wolf, its body coiled up, flicking its tongue as it stared at them.
The wolf pack was not afraid of death and continued to attack.
Suddenly, the wolf king roared, and the other wolves howled at the same time, lunging at the giant python.
The giant python was forced to distract itself from the wolves, and could only watch helplessly as they tore its scales apart.
The giant python roared painfully to the sky, "~~"
Randy had been hiding nearby and observing for a long time before finally finding the right moment to jump out.
The bone knife in his hand sliced across the wolf king's neck, and the wolf king let out a mournful howl before collapsing to the ground.
Upon seeing their leader fall and witnessing Randy's domineering aura, the remaining wolves scattered in terror.
Randy glanced at the python's injuries, and seeing that it showed no intention of attacking, he ignored it and headed into the forest.
Randy carefully removed the heart from the dead wolf king's body and placed it in the prepared animal hide.
It was the veterinarian who made the request; the tribe was running out of medicinal herbs and needed the wolf king's heart.
He came to the Misty Forest to collect hearts, because not everyone recognizes the precious medicinal herbs there; only professionals can identify them.
It could only tell which wolf king was; it couldn't distinguish the other plants.
Besides, this was something he shouldn't have been doing in the first place, but he was bored and without Xiaoxiao to keep him company, so he found something to distract himself.
He encountered more and more orcs along the way, some of whom even knew him. Everyone was active at night, as some of the rare treasures in the Misty Forest didn't appear during the day and only became available at night.
Whenever a tribe needs something, it will send powerful orcs to the Misty Forest to gather resources.
People avoided him after seeing him; Randy was already used to this.
I never expected to be so lucky; I ran into the Wolf King right away. After Randy got his things ready, he climbed the tallest tree.
A bright moon hung in the dark night sky, its silvery light bathing the entire forest.
Randy lay on a branch, gazing at the sky, his mind filled with memories of his time with Guo Xiaoxiao.
"Awooo..." A huge wolf shadow leaped out of the grass, growling at Randy above, before quickly disappearing.
Randy frowned. The wolves wanted to attack him, but they were no match for him, and they wisely ran away.
He turned back to stare at the moon, wondering if he should also try to win her over. Ever since Guo Xiaoxiao acknowledged him, he believed that as long as she held a place for him in her heart, he would accept whatever she said without arguing or fighting.
He tried hard not to overthink, but he couldn't help it. He wasn't good with words, lacked Cang Jue's sweet talk, and wasn't as domineering as others. He also often misjudged people.
Although Mikkelsen and he share the same attribute, Mikkelsen's eloquence is more profitable than his.
Underwater, you should place your hand on the Beast God Stele to see its direction.
It's too late to say anything now. The Beast God Stele has sunk to the bottom of the lake and will probably never reappear in the Beast World.
After resting for a while, Randy returned to the castle. The bed had already been taken by Arthur and Mickson, so he had to sleep on the floor.
She secretly made up her mind that when Guo Xiaoxiao returned, she would also do her best to show herself and not let them outshine her.
When will Xiaoxiao finally come back? He really misses her. Where did that damn bird take her?
…
Carlos searched the entire forest, but couldn't find Guo Xiaoxiao anywhere; she seemed to have vanished.
Carlos was in a panic.
"Xiaoxiao, where are you?"
Carlos searched anxiously, his voice echoing above the forest, but there was no response.
The feeling of being abandoned was like Xiaoxiao poisoning him in the cave, deliberately leaving him. Carlos clenched his fists.
Xiaoxiao
Females really shouldn't be indulged too much. I locked her up so that she would be the first thing I saw when I woke up every morning, and she would always be by my side, never separated from me for a moment.
He abandoned him for Cang Jue; what a cruel heart he has.
I can't hear Xiaoxiao's voice in my head. Why won't you even talk to him?
…
Cang Jue waited patiently, and finally Guo Xiaoxiao's period ended. These days, fearing she might get tired or cold, they took excellent care of Guo Xiaoxiao.
Guo Xiaoxiao: "We really have to go back. We've been out for almost half a month, and I haven't dared to use my psychic powers to contact them, or even face them."
Cang Jue didn't care: "It's nothing. We've only been out for a short time. They won't mind. Xiaoxiao, don't worry about it."
Guo Xiaoxiao knew their temperaments, and felt uneasy.
"Sigh, never mind, I'll go back first. I'd better take the initiative so they won't worry."
