[Urgent Mission: Take this opportunity to completely destroy the exquisite gemstone without arousing suspicion.]

Xia Gu was stunned when she saw the task; she hadn't expected that she would have to destroy the gems.

If we were to do that, wouldn't it make the Rocks think that they didn't really want to protect the Gem Tribe?

[Xia Gu: I think you're crazy to have brought up this mission. I have no idea what's going on in your head.]

Xia Gu even felt that this system didn't have a head at all and was just an empty shell, which really put Xia Gu in a dilemma.

[Host, just complete this task as I instructed, because the totem associated with the gem is exactly the same as the pattern of the largest force in the apocalypse.]

If the higher-ups detect this layer using the system, both you and I could be eliminated.

This made Xia Gu even more confused about what was going on. Was this totem something that was shameful to be seen by others?

She looked at the totem carefully; it did look somewhat familiar, but she hadn't remembered it before.

"This gemstone isn't completely finished yet. A few more strokes need to be added here. I'll have the craftsman carve it properly, and I'll definitely show you the best gemstone."

Rock said this very firmly, naturally because Xia Gu and the others' words had completely moved him.

Therefore, we should treat Xia Gu better, after all, Xia Gu is now considered the goddess of the Gem Tribe.

Xia Gu frowned. If a few more strokes were added as Yan Shi suggested, it would be exactly the same as the pattern from the apocalypse.

"Let's not use it yet. I think it looks pretty good as it is. I will definitely keep it as a treasure."

Collecting them is no longer an option; the most urgent task is to completely destroy the gemstones to prevent even greater consequences.

"No, no, no, if you add a few strokes, it will be the finishing touch. If you wear this gem, it will definitely bring out the goddess's best radiance."

Rock spoke with such conviction and a vision of a bright future that Xia Gu found it hard to refuse.

Then Yan picked up the gemstone, intending to have the craftsman continue carving it according to the totem he had described.

At this moment, Xia Gu felt like an ant on a hot pan, extremely anxious, not knowing what legitimate reason she could use to stop the rock from drilling the gem, and also to destroy it with a legitimate reason.

[Host, you'd better capture a little bit, otherwise we might both be wiped out!]

The system's tone became noticeably more anxious, and Xia Gu sighed helplessly.

[Xia Gu: You need to understand, I'm stuck with this situation now. It's not that I don't want to deal with it; we originally wanted to improve our relationship with Yan Shi, but if we do that, there will definitely be more problems!]

As the rock left, Xia Gu appeared very impatient, and Xue Lan could naturally tell that something was wrong with Xia Gu.

He quickly walked over to Xia Gu and touched her face.

"Xiaxia, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Should I take you home first?" Xuelan asked Xia Gu with some concern.

Xia Gu shook her head. The problem wasn't her body; it was the impending annihilation.

As long as the system doesn't use this time to detect the totem, it shouldn't be discovered.

The problem is that nobody knows if the system is monitoring in real time. If it is, then they are all doomed.

Just then, a young female orc rushed in. She had delicate features and a face full of resentment, making her look like an angry child who was easy to tease.

"Father, what are you doing right now? Do you even know how absurd you are!"

Yanling shouted those words directly, which sounded rather jarring to everyone.

I never expected that such a cute little female would be so domineering here.

Rock, holding the gem, walked speechlessly to the little female's side, his face serious.

"Rock Spirit! Why did you suddenly come here? This is not a place for you. Get back to your tribe and stay there!"

Rock Spirit's words made him even angrier and more outspoken. Xia Gu even felt that Rock Spirit's gaze was always on her.

Xia Gu felt somewhat confused and looked down at her body, but there seemed to be nothing wrong.

No one knew what was wrong with the little female. Then Rock turned his head and looked at everyone with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, this is my daughter Yanling. I don't know why Yanling suddenly came here. Please forgive her."

It's clear that Yanling is indeed very immature, and even has the air of a spoiled brat.

"Why is their tribe's goddess here too? What are you all doing? Why do you never bring me out with you, Father?"

"If you bring me out, I'll be able to see my sweetheart a few more times!"

The Rock Spirit's sullen appearance puzzled everyone, so even the Rock Spirit looked at Xia Gu with a hostile gaze.

Xia Gu was absolutely certain that Yan Ling seemed to be targeting her.

Xia Gu didn't understand what she had done to offend Yan Ling, and it seemed like the two were meeting for the first time.

"Can you stop messing around? Rock Spirit, get back here right now!" Rock could only coax Rock Spirit.

"Where have I been acting recklessly? I've never acted recklessly. It's just that you're always trying to please the goddess of the mountain tribe! I can't stand it anymore, Father. Are you going to demean yourself like this?"

"The reason why the goddess became a goddess is all because of Xue Lan. If it weren't for Xue Lan's help, how could Xia Gu have become a goddess? If I had married Xue Lan before, Xia Gu wouldn't have a place here at all!"

Xia Gu felt like she had been caught in the crossfire for no reason while she was just watching from the sidelines; she really hadn't done anything.

After listening to what Yanling said, she seemed to understand that Yanling seemed to be very concerned about the relationship between her and Xuelan.

"I fell in love with Xue Lan at first sight. I've liked Xue Lan since I was a child. If it weren't for Xia Gu's appearance, Xue Lan and I would have naturally become husband and wife!"

Rock seemed to have never expected Rock Spirit to bring this up in front of everyone, and naturally felt extremely embarrassed.

Ever since they found out that Xue Lan and Xia Gu were together, Xue Lan and Xia Gu would use all sorts of excuses to distract her every time they went to the Gemstone Tribe Rock.
