Chapter 452 Scheming Green Tea
Xi Zhao didn't know why, but he always seemed a bit short of breath when facing Quan Guo. He nodded cautiously, "I see that your place is a bit empty, and the dew will make it damp at night. Sleeping on dry grass is not good for your health."
"Where did these things come from?" Quan Guo pointed to the animal skins on the bed. He didn't remember having these things, as well as the hay and bed boards. He hadn't gone to collect them.
So far, the most valuable thing he owns is probably this cloak.
But even this cloak was a gift from Xi Zhao...
This was draped over Xi Zhao's shoulders when he was chasing the Fierce Boar Tribe. Once it came into Quan Guo's hands, it was never returned.
"Those animal hides are mine, but don't worry, they're all clean and they feel warm to the touch."
Inugo then pressed on, "Where's the bed board?"
Xi Zhao hesitated, reluctant to speak, but then he saw Quan Guo's expression turn cold, so he quickly said, "I removed my own bed board. Don't worry, I can go back and squeeze in with them."
It's such a big dormitory-style dormitory. Even if there's one less bed board, it shouldn't matter. There's always a place for him to sleep.
Xi Zhao wasn't worried about himself, but he was concerned that Quan Guo wouldn't be able to rest properly. He had never liked spending time with other sub-beastmen, and so far, he was only on good terms with the High Priest.
He was the only one living in the tent. If he didn't come to tidy it up, wouldn't Inu no Go just sleep on that pile of hay?!
Thinking this to himself, he muttered to himself, "You can't be so careless with yourself, it's not good."
Looking at his flustered explanation, Quan Guo thought back to when she returned to the tent and saw the busy figure by the bed.
For a moment, he felt as if a corner of his usually calm and collected heart had quietly collapsed. He muttered under his breath, "Are you stupid...?"
"Huh?" Xi Zhao didn't hear clearly what he just said, and looked down at Quan Guo in front of him with a blank expression.
Inugo looked up, his eyes filled with an unusually deep sense of bewilderment. "Are you stupid? I've never given you a definite answer. Aren't you tired of doing this?"
Seeing his appearance, Xi Zhao opened his mouth, but in the end only uttered, "I'm not tired."
Watching his beloved sub-beastman gradually become rosy and healthy under his care, how could he feel tired? He would only feel a great sense of accomplishment, okay?
At this moment, Xi Zhao finally understood why their leader was always chasing after the high priest, just wanting him to eat one more bite. Come on, it's a great honor to have your partner well-fed and healthy!
Unfortunately, Inu no Kaoru is not yet his partner, but Ryou is confident that as long as he persists, Inu no Kaoru will definitely not escape his grasp.
This is no wishful thinking! His confidence is based on solid reasoning; after spending so much time together, he has successfully figured out the psychology of the Lesser Orcs.
Years of torment and abuse had long since built thick walls around Inugo's heart.
But now, Xi Zhao watched as Inu no Kaoru, who always seemed indifferent to everything, suddenly changed his expression over these trivial matters.
Does this mean that she has actually occupied a small corner in his heart?
As Xi Zhao thought this, he couldn't contain his excitement. He tentatively said, "I'm very happy to work for the sub-beastmen I like."
"Idiot..." Quan Guo muttered under his breath as he looked at Xi Zhao's expression, "If I don't agree to your request later, then you've wasted all those resources, haven't you?"
"I don't mind giving you things to use." If his current strength allowed, he would have given all of his best possessions to Inugo.
Hearing him say that, Quan Guo suddenly looked up and asked him fiercely, "How come you're so good at coaxing people? So you used to coax other sub-beastmen like this before?"
This is a huge mess that's been dumped on him.
Xi Zhao looked at Quan Guo with a wronged expression, "By the Beast God, I was just speaking from the heart. Is that considered lying?"
He lowered his head in confusion, so he was actually quite good at coaxing people. He had even wanted to exchange experiences with other male orcs who had partners. Now look, it seems he has quite a talent for it!
It has to be said that these male beastmen are all very straightforward. Is this the time to be struggling with whether or not they know how to coax someone? At this moment, Quan Guo is subtly asking him if he has ever liked any sub-beastmen before!
This is undoubtedly a sign of goodwill!
But Xi Zhao, that fool, thought he was praising his ability to coax people!
Looking at the blank expression on the male beastman's face, Quan Guo sighed deeply. Oh well, what else could he expect from Xi Zhao?
The two people's thought processes are completely different.
Seeing the melancholy on Quan Guo's face, Xi Zhao was somewhat puzzled...
Wait, what Inugo just meant was...
Xi Zhao's eyes widened immediately. "You, you just now?"
"I didn't say anything!" He wouldn't repeat himself once the time was up!
Xi Zhao grabbed the orc's arm immediately. "I heard you! You clearly said it!"
"I have no other sub-beastmen, and I have never liked anyone else, only you, I only like you." It has to be said that Xizhao, after regaining his senses, still had some brains. This direct approach completely stunned Quanguo.
He boldly pulled the orc into his arms, saying, "No matter how handsome others are, they're not you. I only want you."
By the time Xi Zhao came to his senses, he was completely enveloped in a broad and warm embrace. Above him was Xi Zhao's direct confession, and in his ears was the sound of his heart pounding, indicating that this male beastman's emotions were far from calm.
"Wait, let go of me first, I didn't mean it that way..." Quan Guo struggled and said, somewhat contradicting himself.
Xi Zhao didn't care. He had figured out the little turtle's personality. He could only treat Quan Guo like a turtle being slowly boiled in water. If you were to poke him hard, he would only shrink deeper.
He had finally waited until this little turtle was willing to peek out and look at him. It would be a shame not to press his advantage after all the scheming he had been waiting for!
"You do, you like me, otherwise you wouldn't have felt sorry for me just now, worried that I would have nowhere to stay."
"I don't!"
Seeing that the orc was about to get angry, Xi Zhao quickly replied, "Alright then, if you say no, then no. I was just being presumptuous. But I have nowhere to stay, could you take me in?"
"You just said we could sleep together if we squeezed in!" Inu no longer fell for it. This brute had already hugged him without explanation and was now trying to take advantage of his sympathy!
Just then, Xi Zhao suddenly and slowly released Quan Guo, only grabbing his arm with a pitiful look, "But I gave you my animal skin, and they won't let me sleep on their animal skin..."
"It's alright, if you don't want to, I can just sleep on the bed board..." he said, gently releasing his arm, looking rather lost and dejected, and even taking a step to leave.
Even though Quan Guo knew he was faking it, he couldn't resist his soft heart. Watching Xi Zhao's departing figure, he gritted his teeth and called out to him, "Wait!"
With his back to Inu no Kako, Xi Zhao slowly curled up a smile, his eyes full of cunning. The plan was working!
He knew that Inugo would definitely soften his heart!
