CatSa patted Tiger's arm with great tact and took her partner to wait aside.

Upon hearing this, Shishan was overjoyed. He ran over to look at everyone's baskets and saw large, unfamiliar fruits that emitted a faint sour smell. He exclaimed "Good!" three times in a row.

"Xiaxia, you can divide half among yourselves, and give the rest to the females of the tribe, half for each beast, is that alright?"

Normally, all the spoils from a group outing should be handed over and distributed uniformly by the tribe, but this is what Xiaxia discovered.

Shengxia had no objections. She smiled and nodded, saying, "You can decide. This tastes pretty good when grilled."

The chief's eyes were full of joy. He picked out the biggest one for Aoki and took another big one to give to his partner later.

Let's see if we can get a chance to mate...

Thinking of something, he raised his head, his sharp eyes flashing, and took out a sachet-shaped animal skin from the animal skin bag hanging at his waist.

He solemnly handed it to Shengxia.

"Xiaxia, these are yellow sticks that I got from the golden pheasant. Here, take them all. Can I eat these too?"

It was obtained in exchange for a large piece of dried pork. The pheasant initially wanted to try a different method of smoking the meat. Dream on!

Sheng Xia's almond-shaped eyes sparkled as she carefully took the package. Upon opening it, she found about ten kernels of corn, each the size of a ping-pong ball. Overwhelmed with excitement, she looked towards Lion Mountain.

"Chief, from now on this will be called corn. I'll have Aoki ripen a batch first. Corn is not afraid of cold or drought, has a high yield, and is easier to store than wheat."

It is very suitable for collective planting in the tribe.

The chief was breathing heavily as he looked excitedly at Shengxia: "Great! Let's call it corn, and have Qingmu ripen it. I'll come back and return the seeds to you later."

After saying that, he took the fruit and turned to leave, but halfway there he suddenly realized something and turned back in confusion.

"Xiaxia, what is jade?"

He knew Mi, but Yu had never heard of it. He needed to know what the characters were to promote the name.

Shengxia was stumped. She didn't know how to explain it; there was no concept of jade here, and no one could read.

Oh, and she also wants to teach everyone to read!

Her almond-shaped eyes shone brightly with a hint of excitement and anticipation as she spoke softly.

“Jade is a translucent stone with color. Chief, may I teach everyone to write and count?”

She doesn't teach much; there's no need to teach anything complicated, and she won't teach anything too complex. Everyone knows some simple algorithms and recognizes everyday characters...

A glint flashed in Jiao Sujin's glassy eyes as he looked thoughtfully at Sheng Xia's profile, thinking that his Xia Xia had a secret.

As for what secret?

Xiaxia must have her reasons for not saying anything...

Aoki grinned widely, his eyes practically disappearing as he straightened his back, grabbed Shengxia's hand, and kissed it hard, looking quite pleased with himself.

He really loves Xiaxia like this!

His summer will shine!

His Xiaxia is gentle, capable, and kind!

In the sweltering summer, Yu Guang met Aoki's fiery eyes. His bright eyes were brimming with affection, and the deep love in them was almost overwhelming.

Her breath hitched, and she felt a bittersweet ache in her heart. She blinked and secretly blew him a kiss.

Aoki's eyes widened suddenly, staring at her with shining eyes. His lips parted slightly, and his breathing became a little rapid.

Seeing Aoki's increasingly fiery eyes and the sudden bulge in his animal skin skirt, Shengxia's face flushed red, and she quickly looked away.

Jiao Su, who was holding her from behind, chuckled softly, his cool large hand gently caressing her slender waist, his presence very strong.

A tingling sensation ran through Shengxia where his hand had touched, and she trembled slightly, subtly tightening her legs together.

She huddled listlessly in Jiao Su's arms, on the verge of tears.

Her bright almond-shaped eyes darted left and right, and when she saw the chief in front of her and Catsa playing with her mate not far away, a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.

She hadn't realized her body was this sensitive...

Jiao Su keenly sensed her emotions, and her lotus-like, dazzling golden eyes turned to Shi Shan, who was lost in thought, and her thin lips parted slightly.

"Chief, is my Xiaxia's idea acceptable?"

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying a faint scent of hormones.

The chief was stunned for a long time, but his expression showed no displeasure. After the initial shock came great joy, and he looked at Sheng Xia with a wide smile that made his eyes disappear.

"Good! Yafatu is so lucky to have you! I'll make the arrangements right away. Shall we teach the little ones first? The hunting team will return tonight and the kids can teach them too!"

He rubbed his hands together, a faint blush rising to his dark cheeks, and asked with a hint of anticipation, "Can I learn?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xia breathed a sigh of relief, her smile deepening. She felt at ease and nodded affirmatively with a light laugh.

"Of course, all beasts can learn. The school is located in the cub cave. I'll go teach there in a couple of days."

The tribe will get better and better!

The chief, having received the answer he wanted, bid farewell with satisfaction and turned to leave, eager to share the good news with his partner.

With this news, Guozi's partner will be happy! Thank you, Beast God, thank you, Xiaxia!

Since becoming chief, he has been so busy that he has no time to take care of his partner. He has let her down and doesn't blame her for disliking him...

Back home, dinner was already prepared. Yang Yun stood by the dining table with a slight smile, peeling fruit with her long, slender, fair fingers.

Her iron-white eyes curved slightly, and her smooth white hair was tied in a high ponytail as she carefully fed the babies.

Fox Snow was teaching Ah Qing and the others how to handle fur.

The warm atmosphere made Sheng Xia smile involuntarily. She ran over lightly and kissed each of them on the cheek.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Her soft arms gently embraced him, her fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, and a longing red tinge appeared at the corners of her eyes.

He looked at his hands, which were covered in grime, clicked his tongue in regret, and turned his head to give her a restrained kiss on the lips.

Shengxia, who was stroking Shiqing's fluffy head, paused for a moment, then smiled sweetly.

Her smile was so sweet that Yang Yun blushed. It had only been two days since they last met, but it felt like an eternity.

After playing with Shi Qing and the others for a while, Sheng Xia washed her hands and sat down next to Tie Bai, leaning over to look at the fluffy pink rabbits with a soft and warm gaze.

The soft chest brushed against the iron-white arm, and his calm expression cracked instantly. His pink eyes trembled slightly, and he turned his head casually.

Cool lips brushed against a face in the height of summer.

Her bright almond-shaped eyes darted around, unsure whether Tie Bai was doing it unintentionally or on purpose, as she watched him calmly wash the baby bottle.

It must have been unintentional...

"Mommy, hug me...hug me..." The soft pink rabbit stretched out its two paws towards Shengxia, its clear eyes looking at her.

Behind them, the adorable panda and the smooth, bright red fox all stretched out their paws, wanting their mother to hug them.

My heart is melting in the sweltering summer heat.

She hugged each of them, played with the babies for a while, watched them fall asleep, and then stretched contentedly.

Turning my head, I was met with several pairs of eyes as fierce as wolves and tigers...
