"Our jelly is more expensive!"

Aoki laughed loudly and answered without hesitation.

Xiaxia's ingredients and cooking methods are unique, and even if they are expensive, beasts will still buy them. What's not lacking here are beasts with shell coins.

Summer's eyes widened in surprise, she grabbed Aoki's arm, and looked up to ask.

"Really? It can cost that much?"

Snake molts are rare, and high-quality ones are even rarer. That emerald green one doesn't look cheap at all, wow!

How could a bowl of her cold noodles be priced the same as a snake molt?

It's not that she lacks confidence; no matter how delicious the jelly is, it's still vegetarian and not filling. For orcs, it's not as economical as meat, is it?

Seeing her bright, lively eyes darting around, Hu Xue smiled, reached out and tucked a stray hair behind her ear, and said in a clear, affirmative voice.

"A whole snake molt costs five or six shell coins. If the jelly is delicious, it's perfectly acceptable to sell it for six shell coins."

The market only opens once in a long while, and most of the females who come here are those whose partners are strong and have plenty of shells.

A delicious bowl of jelly can win over your partner's heart for just six coins—it's a great deal, and you'll definitely buy a lot of beasts.

A gust of wind blew by, ruffling her smooth, flowing black hair.

Shengxia raised her eyes brightly, looking at her slightly long bangs, and wondered if she should get her hair trimmed.

She took the fox's hand, and then turned to smile and pull Aoki's hand along, looking happily at the endless market ahead.

"Let's go, let's take another look."

Look at how other restaurants price their food. Of course, it's better to sell at a higher price; who wouldn't want more coins?

The relaxed and pleasant atmosphere lasted for a long time.

During the height of summer, I would stroll around and stop to admire any little things I liked, and buy them if the price was right.

They only looked at items that weren't reasonably priced or practical, without buying them. After browsing around, Fox Snow and Green Wood didn't have many things left.

But I had a lot of fun in the summer; shopping made me happy!

Turning a corner, I suddenly saw a bright pink thing, about the size of a fingernail, round like a pearl.

Her eyes brightened, and Hu Xue, who had been watching her closely, smiled and leaned down to lick her fair earlobe.

"Sister Xiaxia, there are pink beads over there. They look great on you. Let's go take a look."

Its pink and tender appearance is just like the delicate flower on my sister's body.

The hot, moist breath hit his ear, making Shengxia shiver with ticklishness. She turned her head with bright eyes and gave him a reproachful look.

She then walked over with light steps, looking down at the beautiful pink pearl.

The stall owner was a young man with big eyes and red hair. When he saw Sheng Xia, his eyes lit up and he began to greet her warmly.

"Feel free to touch it, take it in your hand and see if you like it."

The cheerful tone made the beast feel happy. Sheng Xia smiled. This was a good thing about the beast world; most of them were simple-minded.

What I say goes, there are no formalities.

The stall owner told her to look around, and that he wouldn't hold it against her if she didn't buy anything; there was no forced buying or selling involved.

There's a possibility that forced delivery might occur...

The stall owner who was clamoring to give her free barbecue was him. If it weren't for the fact that his stall was full of barbecue, Sheng Xia would have thought he was just trying to sell something else.

They're using selling things as a pretext to find a partner.

Thinking of this, she lowered her gaze slightly, shook her head and smiled, then picked up the beads and looked down at them.

The bead is about the size of a fingernail, a beautiful pink color with a subtle sheen, resembling a pearl.

It reminded her of Tie Bai's light pink eyes.

Sheng Xia looked up at the red-haired boy, her eyes crinkling with a smile as she asked, "How much is this?"

You can buy it and have Wolf King or Sheep Cloud use their powers to drill a small hole in it, making it into a necklace or bracelet...

It would look great as a tassel on a skirt too!

Sheng Xia asked with great joy, her bright eyes sparkling as she looked at the boy, waiting for his reply.

She bought it as long as it wasn't outrageously expensive!

"Not for sale!" the red-haired boy said resolutely.

He came here to find a mate. There were no females he liked in his tribe, and he couldn't find any females in other tribes, so he could only try his luck here.

Sheng Xia choked up, her smile freezing on her face, and looked at the red-haired boy in surprise: "What? You're not selling?"

This male is acting strangely. It's not for sale, it's just sitting here, and people are allowed to touch it as they please, to see if they like it.

Was it specially brought out to show off?

Such a niche hobby...

"Aoki! Fox Snow, let's go, let's not sell it then."

Shengxia stopped Qingmu, who wanted to argue with her, called Huxue, who was looking down and taking out coins, and turned to leave.

In a panic, Crab Island jumped out from behind the stall, handed Sheng Xia a wooden box of pearls, and explained with a flushed face.

"No, I mean I don't want to sell them, I don't want the coins, I want to give them all to you!"

He was right to come here. This female was so cute, short in stature, with a round, fair, and delicate face. He liked her.

I don't know if they're adults yet? Why don't you ask them?

"Little female, you..." ...Are you an adult yet?

A loud "bang!" shattered the warm atmosphere.

Shengxia turned around and saw a cool and beautiful female sitting on her mate's neck, with five valiant males guarding behind her.

A male fell to the ground at her feet, smashing a deep crater into the stall. The male got up with a dark expression.

A cold, handsome face remained expressionless as he spoke to a young man with long blue hair in front of him.

"Make my Mianmian your partner. She's beautiful, you'll definitely like her. There are plenty of males in the house, so you'll have plenty to eat."

Jiao Su, holding the soap in her hand, said without looking up, "I don't like it. You're blocking the light. Go away."

When Shengxia saw this, her eyes lit up. Was this a beast world version of abducting a handsome man? Her gossipy heart was stirring.

I took two steps forward and watched curiously from the side.

The female blushed, glanced coldly at the male on the ground, and said in a melodious and crisp voice, "Let's go!"

He turned and left after saying that, and the farce was over before it even began.

Seeing this, Jiaozhu thought to herself, "What a pity. It seems that Jiaosu doesn't like him after all."

He idly played with his blue curly hair, thinking about the type of beastman Jiao Su might like.

A hot female? A tall and imposing male?

After watching the beasts leave in the height of summer, Shengxia was just about to leave when she caught a glimpse of Jiaosu out of the corner of her eye and stopped in her tracks.

His stunningly beautiful and otherworldly appearance, along with his unusually aloof and handsome demeanor, made Sheng Xia turn her head and take a second look.

The orc was very tall, with long, slender, white fingers, and a cold, aloof demeanor that seemed out of place in the bustling street.

Jiao Su sensed something, raised its head, and met a pair of bright almond eyes. Its heart skipped a beat, and it touched its chest in confusion.

The slight ripple quickly subsided, and Jiao Su lowered her head to continue fiddling with the soap.

The moment Jiao Su looked up, a pair of beautiful, golden, glass-like pupils came into view. Those eyes showed no emotion, only a faint sense of detachment.
