The chieftain and Old Man Hong in the herd exchanged a glance and nodded in satisfaction. They had watched Wuzhou grow up; he was brave and intelligent.

Its beast form is extremely venomous, and it is always successful in hunting its prey, which makes up for the fact that it is not a warrior.

He's good-looking, barely good enough to be a match for the witch doctor Xia.

Little did they know that the sweltering summer heat was terrifying...

Her heart pounded wildly, and she subtly moved back until a hard chest pressed against her back.

Sheng Xia felt a little relieved and shrank back into Hu Xue's arms. Feeling the arms behind her tighten, she forced a smile and decisively refused.

"I'm sorry, I don't like centipedes, I can't have you."

Wu Zhou was not surprised at all; his eyes remained bright, and his smile had a touch of innocence.

He had observed many females and their partners interacting, and the atmosphere of the Xia witch doctor's family touched him the most; this was the kind of atmosphere he wanted.

Unfortunately, she didn't fancy him.

"Alright, Dr. Xia, then I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, he turned and left without any hesitation.

Watching him walk away until he disappeared from sight, Sheng Xia breathed a sigh of relief and recovered from the tingling sensation on her scalp.

Centipedes are terrifying!

Suddenly, her cheeks flushed, and Shengxia came back to her senses, looking up to meet Hu Xue's worried gaze.

"Sister Xiaxia~ What's wrong? Are you hungry, thirsty, or feeling unwell?" She was trembling.

As he spoke, he gently stroked her long, black hair at the back of her head with his large, well-defined hands.

Shengxia snapped out of her daze, took Hu Xue's large hand and placed it on her face. Inhaling the faint scent of jasmine, she smiled.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little scared when he talks about centipedes."

Fox Snow hugged her tighter with affection and lowered his head to kiss the top of her head.

The golden eyes of the Jiao Su beast glanced at her, its thin lips, as red as roses, parted and opened, its voice clear and elegant.

"Don't be afraid, centipedes will not be allowed near you in the future."

Even appearing in sight is not allowed.

The wolf king sitting next to her sat upright with a gentle and refined demeanor. He gazed at Shengxia with tender eyes, silently keeping in mind her fear of centipedes.

Tie Baifen's eyes brightened. He was holding the baby in his arms, but his gaze remained fixed on Sheng Xia.

Soon, the bonfire party reached its climax.

Chief Crab Shadow and Elder Crab Red walked around the altar with great ceremony, their faces beaming with joy.

In the height of summer, while eating the food her partner fed her, she curiously observed the activity on the altar.

Crab Shadow's eyes sparkled. He glanced down at Sheng Xia below the stage, his eyes filled with gratitude, and spoke with a firm and powerful voice.

"Today, all the food, including the utensils used to cook it, was taught to us by the witch doctor Xia! She specially found fifteen new foods so that our tribe's orcs will no longer go hungry!"

The surprise and anticipation in the eyes of the beasts below the stage were about to materialize; they were just waiting for the chieftain's order to start eating.

The chief didn't waste any words; he shouted loudly.

"Now, everyone, try the new food yourselves, take good care of the females and cubs, and begin eating!"

The herd erupted in cheers.

Wow! That's great!

"Xia Divine Envoy!"

At that moment, everyone lined up in order, received their share, and happily ran back to get it for their partners.

They were captivated by the delicious seafood feast and raved about the new food discovered by the witch doctor Xia.

"Waaaaah, I've never eaten such delicious food before!" A thin female cried, tears streaming down her face, her eyes shining brightly at the startled beast.

"This octopus is so delicious, it makes my mouth feel like it's on fire!" Another female was slurping up the food, so excited she almost jumped up.

Seeing the happy look in everyone's eyes, Shengxia thought of the scene she had just witnessed.

The females had blank stares, most were thin, and the cubs were timid and frightened, looking lifeless...

Despite the presence of many orcs, it is desolate and lifeless.

Suddenly, a young bird flew up from the herd and landed on a branch not far from the midsummer.

The light blue feathers looked even more beautiful under the firelight at night, which made Sheng Xia's eyes light up and exclaim in amazement.

"What a beautiful bird!"

Upon hearing this, Aoki became excited. He smiled brightly and searched among the single males, trying to find a male that resembled a beast.

The cubs on the branches were excited too!

He fluttered over, his wingtip lightly brushing against Shengxia's arm, and said excitedly.

"By the Beast God! I've touched Doctor Xia!"

The baby birds jumped and hopped with joy.

Seeing Shengxia's affection for him, none of the Wolf King and his companions stopped the cub from flying over.

The cub plucked a feather from its wing and asked expectantly, "Can I give you a feather?"

Sheng Xia looked completely bewildered.

She raised her hand, instinctively wanting to take it.

The next second, inspired by this, the other cubs rushed towards Shengxia, eager to touch their idol as well.

"Hey Doctor Xia, look at me! I look good even in my beast form!"

"Get out of the way, I was here first!"

"I also want to talk to Doctor Xia!"

“…”

The scene became chaotic...

Crab babies, giant spider babies, centipede babies, mermaid babies, and all sorts of other strange and wonderful creatures came running over with cheers and laughter.

Seeing those intense gazes, Sheng Xia's eyes widened, and her scalp began to tingle again.

I had this strange feeling that I was Tang Sanzang, encountering a group of monsters who wanted to live forever.

As they approached, Jiao Su stood up, took long strides, and stopped in front of Sheng Xia, his golden eyes staring ahead without any emotion.

Its noble and aloof appearance was not to be ignored, and the cubs were instantly deflated as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

They came in a hurry, and left looking back every few steps.

Jiao Su didn't even say a word.

Sheng Xia was amazed. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her almond-shaped eyes sparkled as she watched Jiao Suxin's long back.

"Su Su is really amazing." Her aura was terrifyingly powerful.

The next second, a rich jasmine scent wafted over, and a warmth enveloped her waist as she heard Fox Snow's languid yet alluring voice in her ear.

"Sister~ praise me too~"

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and gently massaged Sheng Xia's shoulders and neck. He glanced at her blushing ears and blinked.

Sheng Xia's almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile as she turned around and complimented, "The fox is very capable, and my shoulder feels very comfortable."

Then he praised each of the other partners in turn, making sure to treat them all equally, until they were all beaming with joy.

The bonfire party lasted until midnight, and by the time it ended, Shengxia could barely keep her eyes open.

"Sister Xiaxia~ Go to sleep."

Fox Snow looked down at Sheng Xia, who was drowsy in her arms, and a pang of heartache flashed in her eyes. She gently picked her up and carried her horizontally.

"Um."

Shengxia nestled softly in his arms, shifted slightly to find a comfortable position, and closed her eyes with a soft moan.

Listening to her companions and cubs whispering to each other, she smiled and slowly drifted off to sleep.
