Yang Yun glanced at the excited Qingmu, opened her mouth but didn't say anything. Tie Bai had just been sent back by Su Su, so Qingmu should have gone back too.

Seeing how happy he was, I couldn't bear to remind him...

Yang Yun lowered his gaze slightly, quietly walked to Jiao Su's side, and whispered, "Su Su, take me back."

Wolf King and Iron White were looking after the cubs, but one of them had to go hunting and cooking, which made him a little worried.

A smile flashed in Jiao Su's golden eyes. He nodded slightly, raised his hand, and released a bubble to send Yang Yun back.

Shengxia glanced at them and quickly turned back. She bit her lower lip, suppressing a laugh as she looked down at the babies.

A hint of doubt flashed in Lang Ge's clear eyes. He lowered his voice and said uncertainly.

"It should be okay, right? Yang Yun's father is a good cook, but she's also my mother. I shouldn't question my mother's words. I don't know who to believe anymore..."

“Mom is definitely right!” Yang Yuan chimed in, adding affirmatively.

His beautiful peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, and his tender face showed a hint of concern, which made a little female in the Crab Roe tribe a little dazed.

She tugged at her mother's skirt and, just as her mother lowered her head, said excitedly.

"Mommy, I saw a really beautiful little female! She's so pretty."

I wish she could be that pretty...

Upon hearing this, her mother smiled, bent down to pick her up, and affectionately tapped her forehead with her index finger.

"Our Mimi is the prettiest!"

"Hehe~ Mom is the prettiest..."

A gentle sea breeze blows by, and under the sunlight, the sound of the waves exudes a sense of freedom and ease—it's incredibly comfortable.

The entire Crab Roe Tribe was in an uproar because of Old Man Hong's return, and the atmosphere visibly became more relaxed.

Shengxia played with the kids for a while, and unintentionally met Jiao Su Hanxiao's golden eyes, dazzled by his noble and handsome face.

She curled her lips into a smile, momentarily swooning, before regaining her composure and walking over to Jiao Su with a beaming smile.

Their gazes fell upon the passionate Crab Red and the group of beastmen.

The sun was shining brightly, and she could clearly see the relaxed and innocent smiles on each animal's face, which made her lips involuntarily curl up.

Jiao Su pulled her into his arms, tidied her wind-blown hair, and then took her hand in his.

Seeing Sheng Xia's infatuated expression with Jiao Su's face, Hu Xue raised an eyebrow, a sly glint in her eyes.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that Xiaxia really did like good-looking beasts, and suddenly became a little uncertain.

Is he good-looking?

Fox Snow raised her hand and touched her cheek. Her empty pupils were unfocused, and her gaze fell on Aoki's face.

effeminate...

Aoki shuddered, strode over, slapped Hu Xue on the shoulder, and said with a hearty laugh.

"Fox, don't look at me like that, it's disgusting!"

If it weren't for his own masculinity, he would have thrown a punch.

Hu Xue snapped out of her daze, patted her shoulder with disdain, pinched a tuft of Qingmu's hair, and asked in a low voice.

"Aoki, do you think I'm good-looking?" Am I Xiaxia's type...?

Aoki glanced at Shengxia and suddenly understood. He realized what Hu Xue had meant, and the smile on his lips widened.

He turned to the height of summer and raised his voice.

"Xiaxia, is Fox Snow pretty?"

Why are you dawdling? If you don't understand, just ask. Xiaxia is so pretty, it's only natural that she likes pretty partners.

In his opinion, the fox is handsome enough, and Xiaxia dotes on him a lot, so why is he still so insecure?

Aoki asked a question, and all the beasts stopped talking at the same time, turning their heads curiously to look over.

Many beasts were quietly asking Elder Hong questions, but of course, Elder Hong didn't answer anything about Shengxia's family affairs.

Upon meeting those bright, piercing eyes, Sheng Xia shuddered and quickly hid behind Jiao Su.

She wrapped her arms around Jiao Su's waist from behind, the cool touch making her sigh comfortably, and she couldn't help but press her cheek against his back.

Then he poked his head out and gave Aoki a reproachful look.

Is it appropriate to say such private things in public?!

Then he winked at Hu Xue and mouthed, "You're beautiful, you're all beautiful."

Fox Snow touched her cheek again, revealing a captivating smile that made Sheng Xia's almond-shaped eyes crinkle.

Aoki shuddered at that glance, his bright smile froze for a moment, but he was not discouraged and pulled out a bag of barbecue from somewhere.

Picking out the tenderest one, he skipped over and stuffed it into Shengxia's mouth: "Xiaxia, it's delicious, try it!"

Shengxia chewed it, and found it spicy, savory, and chewy yet not tough. Her eyes lit up, and she tilted her head back to praise it.

"Delicious! Big Lion, your cooking has gotten better!"

Hu Xue's smile froze for a moment. He lowered his eyes, pondering the possibility of continuing to practice his cooking skills.

In the height of summer, Shengxia took the barbecue, fed some to each of the little ones, and then gave some to the other children as well.

Because they were fed in the height of summer, they ate with extra relish.

Jiao Su turned around, stretched out her long arm and pulled Sheng Xia into her arms. Her slender, fair fingers ran through Sheng Xia's dark hair, gently combing it.

His movements were gentle, giving Sheng Xia the illusion that he was naturally a gentle person.

But Shengxia knew that he didn't have that kind of gentle personality.

Merfolk are noble and aloof, naturally cold and rarely show emotional fluctuations, except when they encounter a beast they like.

Jiao Su's gentleness and affection were reserved for Sheng Xia, a privilege unique to her.

For a moment, Shengxia felt a pang of sadness. Her Susu had few hobbies, a bland palate, and little emotional fluctuation.
