Aoki, who came to deliver water, twitched his eyebrows, gave a bright smile and snorted, and placed the water in front of Shengxia with an arrogant expression.

Another cup was pushed in front of the chief.

He then immediately turned around, put away the salt stone, and gave the chief a bright smile.

"Thank you, Chief!" he said and ran off, as if afraid the chief would take back the reward if he was even a second late.

Shengxia's lips twitched, but she didn't say anything; it was too embarrassing for her.

Lion Mountain's steady voice rang out from the side: "Hahaha, Aoki is still the most proactive. He's a good male. Xiaxia has good taste."

Thinking that Aoki was also a male he favored, the chief's eyes showed more affection.

Shengxia nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, he is very good, and my partners are all very good."

Everything is great~

The chief chuckled as he looked at Fox Snow, then glanced at all the males around her, unable to bring himself to say anything about promoting Golden Eagle.

Previously, Xiaxia's partner didn't have any superpowers, so she could say that having more partners would ensure her safety.

Now, any mate she randomly picks out is a powerful being capable of wiping out an entire tribe of other beasts with a wave of her hand.

There are creatures that swim in the water, run on the ground, and fly in the sky.

Forget it, he'd better not say it out loud and risk offending everyone.

He still remembered that Xiaxia was most disgusted by anyone who forced her to take a mate. He was a good chief who did not force females to do such things.

The golden eagle behind him had a flushed face and kept glancing at Sheng Xia, who quickly noticed him.

Meeting the bright, clear eyes, Sheng Xia pretended to look away nonchalantly, feigning ignorance of the longing in the male's eyes behind the chief.

She has enough companions. Although the number of companions is pitifully small in the beast world, it is enough for her.

It's not that we won't accept them anymore.

She would consider meeting someone she really liked, but she wouldn't specifically seek them out.

Seeing that their chieftain was no longer reliable, the Golden Eagle Orcs kept circling the topic of the tribe's development, with the chieftain giving endless reports to the Witch Doctor Xia.

Seeing that time was running out and it was almost time to say goodbye, he couldn't resist and stepped forward gracefully.

“I, I want to become the witch doctor Xia’s partner.”

The Golden Eagle Orc's sudden remark shocked all the orcs present, especially the chieftain.

He opened his eyes wide and glanced at the Golden Eagle Beastman. This little male had been with him for so many years and had never done anything out of line.

Today, he actually jumped in during their serious discussion for Xiaxia's sake. Does he like Xiaxia that much?

You have good taste!

He chuckled and shook his head: "I won't get involved in your young beasts' affairs. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, she stood up leisurely and left without any hesitation.

The awkwardness was left between Sheng Xia and the flushed Golden Eagle Beastman, staring at each other with wide eyes, Sheng Xia being the one with the smaller eye...

Her long eyelashes fluttered as she looked into the orc's large, innocent eyes, momentarily captivated by his beauty.

The Golden Eagle Beastman took a deep breath, bowed to Sheng Xia, and then raised his head to speak earnestly.

"Xia the Witch Doctor, I really like you. I'm not as strong as your mates, but I'm better than the other beasts in the tribe. I just awakened my earth-type ability, and I will work hard to improve my strength..."

Shengxia watched as his fingers curled up and down, his long eyelashes trembling incessantly, trying so hard to promote himself, and she was completely overwhelmed.

Ah, the innocent yet nervous young man, who understands him?

He was too innocent and earnest, making it hard for her to refuse.

Sheng Xia bit her lower lip lightly, thinking of how to refuse.

After thinking for a short while, she decided it would be better to refuse directly, as she was afraid that the straightforward beastman wouldn't understand her refusal if she was too tactful.

What if you think she agreed...?

Having figured this out, Sheng Xia looked up at the male opposite her with a smile and said in a serious and solemn tone.

"I'm sorry, I don't like you, and I can't let you be my partner." After thinking for a moment, he added, "You're wonderful, and you'll meet females who like you."

Upon closer inspection, he has a baby face and a clean appearance. His earth-based abilities make him both resilient and capable of fighting. He should be quite popular in the tribe.

Sheng Xia didn't notice that a gleeful figure was peeking inside from the doorway. Wolf King and the others noticed, but didn't stop him.

Tie Bai glanced casually at the doorway, a hint of sympathy in her pink eyes. No matter how good it was, Xia Xia wouldn't accept it; she was afraid of insect-like beastmen like Scorpion.

Thinking of the news he heard upon his return, he sighed inwardly, realizing that the male named Xingmu was also a man of deep affection.

What a pity...

The moment Shengxia looked over, Xingmu dropped the white fruit and ran away, reluctantly turning back every few steps, hoping that Shengxia would chase after him so he could see her one more time.

Unfortunately, the house had disappeared from sight, and he didn't see her either. A hint of disappointment flashed in Xingmu's eyes.

The sense of loss spread endlessly through my heart.

He quickly rallied his spirits and walked resolutely toward the Midsummer Forest. He wanted to continue improving his strength and silently protect his beloved Midsummer Sister!

Shengxia was unaware of all this. She breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the Golden Eagle Beastman turn around decisively.

He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips into a smile.

This is great about the animal world: if a male is rejected after confessing his love, he won't pester you or make a scene with moral blackmail.

Fox Snow walked over gracefully, raised her hand and twirled a strand of Sheng Xia's black hair, her tone light and slightly seductive as she tentatively asked a question.

"Sister Xiaxia~ Aren't you considering getting another one? You're probably tired of all the ones you have at home, aren't you?"

Xiaxia can take as many partners as she wants, as long as she's willing and always has him in her heart.

When he asked the question, several burly men next to him paused simultaneously, their expressions unchanged but their ears perked up.

As Tie Bai lowered his pink eyes and carefully packed his things, a pair of black round ears suddenly appeared from his white hair and twitched.

He clearly cared a lot about her reply.

Sheng Xia's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents, a sly glint in them, as she slowly drew out her words.

"Whether I take them in or not is another matter; I'll never get tired of the males in my house~"

They are all exceptionally beautiful and have their own unique features. They are equally adept at social graces and domestic skills, able to take good care of her and her cubs, and are also excellent at both work and hunting.

Even an iron beast would be moved by such a good male treating her wholeheartedly.

What's more, she's a looks-obsessed person who also likes partners who are love-struck.

A gentle breeze caressed my face, and even the withered yellow leaves seemed to carry a touch of tenderness in the midsummer sunlight.

Suddenly, a burning sensation covered my shoulders and neck; I could clearly feel the warmth of the palm even through my sweater.

Aoki returned at some point and happened to hear Shengxia's words. His bright smile was tinged with emotion.

His Xiaxia is always so good.

She actually said she wouldn't get tired of it; she must be head over heels in love with herself!

Aoki's eyes were slightly red, but his smile was bright. He held her shoulders, turned her around, touched Shengxia's lips with his fingertip, and then suddenly leaned in to kiss her.

Sheng Xia's almond-shaped eyes widened instantly as she looked at the arrogant possessiveness in his eyes. Her heart pounded with fear, realizing that he was about to make a public declaration again.
