"You must have picked up the wrong clothes. They're too small. They're meant for cubs. I can't wear them. I didn't get them dirty. You can take them back."

After saying that, he added, "If you're worried about it getting dirty, I can wash it and return it to you."

Upon seeing the "clothes" in Lin Shanyue's hand, Su Shiwei's expression froze.

How could he forget this? These kinds of clothes didn't exist in the ancient continent, so Lin Shanyue definitely wouldn't wear them.

Seeing that Lin Shanyue was about to return it to him, Su Shiwei quickly waved his hand and stepped back.

"No need to give it to me, this is for you, not for the cubs."

Lin Shanyue hesitated and stopped in her tracks. "This...it's really not something a cub would wear?"

She examined the two small garments in her hands with a puzzled look, turning them over and over, and then put them on her hands, as if trying to figure out where they could be worn.

Su Shiwei felt a chill run down her spine and looked away, her ears turning red.

"You, you can leave it here for now. I'll have someone else teach you how to wear it later."

Lin Shanyue didn't notice Su Shiwei's unusual behavior. Upon hearing "others," she subconsciously asked, "Can't you just teach me directly?"

She still harbored resistance and rejection towards the beastmen.

The thought of meeting other beastmen made her heart, which had just relaxed, jump again.

"No." Su Shiwei was a little embarrassed, but her answer was also very straightforward.

How does he teach?

If she misunderstands again, I'll be in deep trouble no matter what.

Lin Shanyue lowered her head and obediently put the two small pieces of clothing back in place.

Su Shiwei felt an awkward atmosphere permeating the room. She cleared her throat and said, "Ahem... I'll take you to see the Beast King. Just answer whatever he asks you. As long as you cooperate, we won't harm you or your people."

He originally planned to ask her himself, but after thinking about it, he figured he might as well go directly to Tangtang since he was going to find her anyway.

It's not appropriate to stay here all the time.

Lin Shanyue nodded. At least Su Shiwei wasn't lying to her or hurting her.

...

Inside the stone house.

As soon as Su Tang got up, the kids couldn't wait to pry open the door and run around like madmen, wanting to go out and play.

Seeing the white fur floating around the house, Su Tang's eyelids twitched.

The pups haven't been going out to play much lately, and they're shedding more and more. Before, most of their fur would fall outside when they went out, but now it's everywhere in the house.

"Ptooey, ptooey..." Su Tang plucked the hair that had floated into her mouth with her hand, opened the door, and stopped keeping the little ones in check.

She needs to find a way to get rid of the pet hair in the house, otherwise she's afraid she'll wake up one day to find herself buried in fur.

After eating the breakfast prepared by Hu Shen, Su Tang was trying to clean up the pet hair in the house when Su Shiwei arrived.

Seeing Su Tang sitting on the ground, whittling something with a dagger, Su Shiwei rushed over and took the dagger and the piece of wood from her hands.

"Just tell me what you want to do, or you'll cut your hand."

Looking up and seeing her brother, Su Tang smiled and awkwardly rubbed her hands together. "I want to make brushes and feather dusters. The house is full of the kids' feathers; it's almost uninhabitable."

The fur on the floor can be swept away, but the table and bed are the worst areas to clean.

If Su Tang hadn't already grown fond of the kittens, she would have felt suffocated just being in a room with so many furry creatures in the past.

"Just leave it there. I'll make it for you when I get back. Tell me what else you want to make, and I'll make you more since I have time lately." Su Shiwei smiled helplessly and affectionately.

With him as the eldest brother around, there's no need for Tangtang to do anything herself.

"You do everything for me, you're turning me into a useless piece of trash." Su Tang pouted, but did not refuse Su Shiwei's kindness.

This is how her family treats her well; she just needs to accept it.

People always hope to be needed; it's only when they're no longer needed that they truly feel sad.

Moreover, these things are indeed Su Shiwei's forte.

"If only he were truly useless, then I wouldn't have to worry about anything." Su Shiwei's smile was gentle.

Lin Shanyue stood outside the door and stopped in her tracks when she saw the fair-skinned and beautiful female beastman inside.

She thought all beastmen were fierce, and even the females were as fierce as tigresses. She never expected that this female beastman would be even more beautiful than the human women.

Is she a fox?

I've heard that foxes in human form are very beautiful.

Looking at Su Shiwei's obviously gentle expression and tone, her thoughts were uncontrollably stirred.

She never expected that this cunning and scheming beastman would also have such a gentle and considerate side. She could see that his eyes were very clear when he looked at this female beastman, without any ulterior motives.

He must like this orc female, right?

Yes, such a beautiful female, even she couldn't help but want to take a second look. Who wouldn't like her?

Thinking this, Lin Shanyue really did take a few more glances.

Su Tang stood up from the ground, patted the hair off her butt, and turned around to find that there was someone else behind Su Shiwei.

She hadn't seen it because Su Shiwei had blocked her view.

Seeing that she was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl who had come with Su Shiwei and was still wearing the clothes Su Tang had given Su Shiwei yesterday, Su Tang immediately knew her identity.

Her brother never liked dealing with women.

After arriving on the ancient continent, he almost never spoke to female orcs.

Even his mother was starting to think there was something wrong with his brother's sexual orientation.

Su Tang felt as if she knew her brother's little secret, but she didn't reveal it on her face. She just smiled and stepped forward.
