"What's wrong with Doctor Xia?" Lan Yingying's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a glint of water seemed to flash in her eyes, leaving the single young man stunned on the spot.

Seeing this, the chief slapped him on the shoulder in anger: "What are you looking at? Tell me, what happened to Xiaxia?!"

The roar carried far...

Finally, a passing male said, "It's alright, Chief, don't worry. Doctor Xia is fine. I just went to check on her; she was just frightened by the insects."

"Alright, alright, it's good that you're alright, hahaha... It's normal for Xiaxia, a delicate little female, to be afraid of bugs, don't talk nonsense!"

The chief's expression relaxed, but in his joy, he didn't forget to warn everyone against discussing the height of summer.

After all, even young insects aren't afraid of insects.

But in the end, the news spread to everyone in the beasts.

It's not gossip, it's concern.

Many beasts heard the screams and spontaneously ran to rescue the beast. In the end, they found out it was a big misunderstanding and breathed a sigh of relief while their minds started to wander.

Xingmu stood quietly at the edge of the forest, the fighting spirit that had just ignited in his eyes was extinguished by a sudden cold wind, leaving only dim ashes.

The image that made his heart tremble kept replaying in his mind—Sister Shengxia...she was even afraid of tiny insects.

He's a scorpion...

He thought he could get close to her with courage and determination and protect her in his own way, but now, cruel reality is like an insurmountable wall.

Xingmu looked down at his tail, the scorpion tail that he was once so proud of, now seemed like a sin.

He wished he could become a furry beastman.

A gentle breeze blew by, lifting his hair.

He gazed in the direction where Shengxia was, his eyes filled with helplessness and pain: "Sister Shengxia..."

Perhaps, he was destined to only watch over things in solitude.

Xingmu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the sadness in his heart, along with the gloom in his blue eyes.

He curled his lips into a smile, and a tear slid down his cheek.
