As the sun sets, an orange-red glow envelops the earth.

Many birds flew around in flocks.

Shengxia was unaware that the news of her return had caused a stir in the tribe. She was frowning as she looked at the Yafatu Forest, which had shrunk by half.

The once lush and green trees were now withered and droopy, the saplings were dead and twisted and lying on the ground, and the streams around the tribe had dried up completely.

Everything has changed.

She bit her lower lip lightly. Was it really that dry?

I don't know if it's possible to drill a well?

Can't we try them all?

She gently touched Yang Yun's cold wings and called out, "Let's go home."

The word "go home" sent a shiver down the spines of the low-flying sheep and the green wolf running on the ground.

Going home, home? Yes, going home!

The group paused for a moment, then ran forward even more joyfully.

After a ten-minute flight, we arrived at the village entrance.

In the height of summer, I saw a large group of orcs in the distance and was a little surprised. I thought I was seeing things, but when I got closer, I realized that they really were a group of beasts.

Just as I was wondering what everyone was doing at the door on such a hot day, I heard the chief's powerful laughter.

"Xiaxia, Guoguo, you're back!"

A sense of familiarity welled up in her heart. Sheng Xia smiled and waved to the crowd below, then lowered her eyes to greet the chief.

"Yes, you're back!"

Orange saw the male on the observation deck who had given her the fruit, grinned, and casually greeted the chief.

He turned around and waved to Shengxia: "Xiaxia, I'm going back now. I'll come find you to play tomorrow!"

She didn't feel it when she was outside, but as soon as she arrived at the village gate, she missed Zaizai and Muyi terribly.

"Okay!" Sheng Xia smiled and waved.

Yang Yun landed lightly with Sheng Xia on her back. Wolf King and Fox Snow transformed into human form, their eyes filled with smiles as they lowered their gazes and unfastened their safety buckles.

The movements were so practiced, as if they had been done a thousand times.

The panda reached out and lifted Shengxia down, letting her sit on its shoulders. It took two steps forward and stood under the big tree.

Patches of sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves.

A tiny ray of light pierced through the leaves and landed on Shengxia's arm, burning her so badly that she frowned slightly and rubbed it.

Seeing this, Yang Yun opened the umbrella, silently walked to her side, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

A shadow fell overhead, and Shengxia looked up and smiled sweetly at Yang Yun, who was holding an umbrella, before warmly greeting the group of females.

Many familiar females were among the herd.

She stared in astonishment at Tie Xi'er, who was gently waving to her, and Tie Xin'er, who was jumping and waving.

The Iron-Eating Beast Tribe has arrived too?

Upon seeing this, the chief burst into laughter.

"Xiaxia, the Iron-Eating Beast Tribe has been merged into our Yafatu, as has the Night-Walking Beast Tribe. It's all thanks to you."

The Iron-Eating Beasts had no healer, and several of them had died. Having witnessed Xiaxia's healing abilities, they decided to migrate as a whole tribe and settle here.

The Night Beast Chieftain came specifically for Xia Xia.

Their tribe's visibly growing size is, upon closer examination, entirely due to the changes brought about by the height of summer.

This female is a treasure!

It's a pity it wasn't a male. Females are too delicate to bear heavy burdens, otherwise... sigh...

Upon hearing this, Shengxia paused for a moment, then smiled. "Very good, the tribe looks much stronger now."

She can continue living her leisurely life now.

Wolf King stepped forward, smiled at the chief, and said gently, "Chief, we'll head back now."

Xiaxia's arm is red; it needs to be treated.

The powerful aura that he unconsciously exuded made the chief's eyes light up. He leaned forward, and his smile deepened.

He then chuckled and took a step back, waving his hand dismissively: "Yes, take Xiaxia back quickly, it's so hot."

Don't let the animal get too hot.

Seeing that Shengxia was safe and sound, everyone was happy and consciously dispersed to make way for Shengxia and the others to pass.

"Xiaxia, go back and rest, it's too hot."

"Exactly, it's too hot. Let's go back home in the middle of summer."

"In the height of summer, your green headdress is so beautiful!"

Looking at the enthusiastic beastmen, Sheng Xia was moved and couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

She seemed to have developed a sense of belonging here.

Along the way, we were greeted warmly by beasts.

In surprise, Shengxia looked at the road from the entrance of the tribe to her house, where beasts stood under the shade of trees on both sides.

This is like a high-ranking leader coming to inspect the country.

And she was that big boss.

Thinking of this, Shengxia herself was amused. She jumped into the panda's arms, pressed her lips together, raised her head, and said with a grin.

"It's hot, everyone should go home."

The sun is scorching; I hope she doesn't get heatstroke. She had just been caught in the sunlight streaming through the leaves, and her arm was already aching.

"good!"

The herd erupted in a unified cheer, and in response, they transformed into their beast forms one after another, protecting their mates as they headed home.

A male without a mate unexpectedly sees a female he likes, and he will stare at her back with reluctance before slowly returning home in his beast form.

It gives the feeling that words can become law in the height of summer.

Suddenly I realized that being in charge of the big boss feels pretty good...

The giant panda held Shengxia tightly in its arms and followed behind the wolf king, moving steadily forward. This was not its first time here.

The tall, sturdy city walls and the neatly arranged, beautiful houses still impressed him.

Xia's tribe was indeed very strong.

"Xia, come in and take a look, do you like it?"

Hearing the noise, the blue lion ran over, wagging its tail excitedly, its cheerful voice carrying a clear hint of anticipation.

As Shengxia looked at the flowers covering the wall, her eyes lit up. She followed the panda through the gate and was completely stunned by what she saw inside.

The wall has been transformed into a flower wall, covered with unknown vines, and vibrant flowers of all colors are blooming in profusion.

In the clean and spacious courtyard, there was a rocking chair, next to which was a slightly lower table with some juicy fruit on it.

It feels like stepping into a dreamlike fairy tale!

So beautiful!

Summer's eyes lit up. She slid off Iron White, ran over, and hugged the lion's... calf.

The lion was too tall; it definitely wasn't her fault!

Startled for a moment, Aoki reacted and transformed into human form with a grin, hugging her tightly with a bright, sunny smile.

Do you like it?

"like!"

Her lion is quite reliable when she gets serious.

Shengxia nodded repeatedly, a beautiful smile curving her lips. She stood on tiptoe, and Qingmu lowered his head in response.

Their lips touched, then parted in an instant.

A gentle kiss, devoid of any lust, like a dragonfly skimming the water, filled Shengxia's heart with overflowing desire.

She tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling, feeling incredibly happy.

I hope this peaceful happiness can continue forever.

She absolutely adores this peaceful, tranquil, and carefree life she's living now.

That evening, the sunset was incredibly beautiful.

The clouds that had been missing for so long have returned!

The sky was tinged with a light pinkish-purple hue, it was absolutely beautiful, and I don't know who saw it first, but they all exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah! There are clouds! What beautiful colors!"

The male walking outside felt inexplicably irritable and looked up at the sky in surprise upon hearing this.
