Animals of all kinds—running on the ground, flying in the sky, climbing in the trees—rushed forward in a frenzy, with many orcs even protecting petite females around their necks.

The orcs ran ahead, chasing after them in a chaotic scene of dust and fallen leaves.

"What's wrong? Why are they running so fast?" Sheng Xia blinked, somewhat puzzled.

Fire-type abilities are rare; not every household has a male with fire-type abilities who can keep his partner warm when going out.

There seem to be quite a few females below.

What made them brave the freezing cold to come out and see?

"It's nothing serious, more like going to watch the excitement." Fox Snow narrowed her eyes, looking thoughtfully at the approaching herd of beasts.

Since no horn was heard and these orcs were all with their partners, it couldn't be anything serious, just a matter of life and death.

It's more like taking your partner to see something new.

Upon hearing this, Shengxia blinked, a hint of confusion flashing in her bright almond-shaped eyes. What gossip was causing such a stir?

In this kind of weather, even with your partner, you don't have to worry about getting cold.

It has to be said, Fox Snow is right.

With no entertainment during the snow season, everyone rushes out to see what's going on when there's a juicy piece of gossip, resulting in the scene we see in the height of summer.

Soon, a group of orcs ran closer...

Only then did Shengxia extract useful information from the noise.

A female polar bear on its back slapped her mate's back and urged him on loudly.

"Hurry, hurry! I heard that Xiong Qi and his crew caught a stray beast in the Midsummer Forest, and it's a white tiger!"

The small female, wrapped tightly in layers, on the back of another eagle-orc exclaimed excitedly, "Run! If we're late, we won't be able to get close enough to see anything!"

The males obeyed and sped up: "Okay, okay..."

A stray beast, a white tiger?

Sheng Xia was taken aback. Turning around, she met a pair of equally surprised fox-like eyes and suggested, "Shall we go take a look?"

It sounds a lot like the tiger that comes to our house to buy things.

If it were him...

They were inexplicably arrested as stray animals, and they need to get there quickly to clear things up, or their lives might be in danger.

All tribes share the same attitude towards stray beasts: they cannot tolerate them.

"Okay, Sister Xiaxia, wait a minute, I'll go get some clothes~"

As Sheng Xia watched Hu Xue walk towards the dressing room, her brows furrowed slightly, and she felt a little anxious.

Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from the window, carrying something that landed on her face. In the height of summer, she felt a cool sensation on her face and looked up in surprise.

Snowflakes danced in the air...

The snowflakes fell gently and quickly whitened the ground. In the height of summer, I reached out and caught a snowflake; it melted in my palm, and the chill seeped into my bones.

She shivered and hunched her shoulders and neck. "It's so cold."

The next second, she felt a weight on her back. Shengxia thought Hu Xue had come over, but when she turned around, she saw Xing Mu carefully tying her coat belt.

"Star Shepherd?"

Seeing her look over, Xingmu smiled, revealing adorable dimples. His blue eyes were clear and pure, and he spoke in a clear and melodious voice.

"Yes, it's me, Sister Shengxia. Do you like this outfit? Do you like it?"

He waited for a long time before finding a nest of white foxes.

After being returned, it took five or six days and nights to tan it. I secretly sewed it for a while before going to bed every night, and that's how this coat came to be.

He was very confident while making it, but suddenly felt a little uneasy when he took it out. The color was a pure white, without a single stray hair. He tried his best to preserve the original appearance while making it.

Apart from the light pink ribbon at the neckline, there were no other decorations. The buttons were also made of white wood, and the design was very simple.

Will she like it?

Sheng Xia smiled sweetly and affirmed, "Yes! I really like it. Did you make it?"

This minimalist style is something no other animal in the family would do besides Su Su, as Su Su's main task these past few days has been catching seafood.

I heard that Xingmu hunted down five or six white foxes...

It wasn't that she was deliberately flattering her; the dress was simple and elegant in design, very warm and airtight, and the furry collar was very comfortable.

It's a hooded cape style, with the length reaching the calves.

She really likes it.

"I'm glad you like it." Xingmu was so happy he was at a loss for words.

————

When Shengxia, Huxue, and Xingmu arrived together, Huqiu was surrounded by a group of females who were spitting and cursing at him.

"You wicked stray beast! I'll beat you to death." Xingyin's eyes were dark and unfathomable as she grabbed a handful of fallen leaves and threw them in his direction.

Xiangyu's honest and handsome face was full of heartache. He stomped his foot, grinding it heavily on the ground, then squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt, and handed it to Xingyin.

"Xing'er, use this."

Snowflakes fluttered and the cold wind howled, but nothing could dampen everyone's warm hearts.

A sharp-eyed orc spotted Shengxia and exclaimed with delight, "Wow! The Summer Witch Doctor is here! The Great Witch has come to watch the fun, make way!"

Like a drop of water falling into a boiling oil pan, it caused a commotion in the midst of summer.

She looked at the wide road in front of her... and the cheering orcs on both sides of the road, and her lips twitched.

"Shall we go see it?" Fox Snow leaned closer, her voice clear and crisp, the last syllable rising in a hint of a seductive beast.

"Okay, let's go take a look." Sheng Xia smiled and walked forward.

Everyone stared intently at Shengxia, their expressions a mixture of surprise, admiration, and confusion.

Xingyin's eyes flickered, and she took a step back in Xiangyu's arms, feeling somewhat scared, her emotions complicated.

How did Xia the witch doctor come to know the stray beast?

When the truth finally came out, Xingyin smiled with relief, her eyes reddening. She covered her mouth and giggled happily, then threw herself into Xiangyu's arms.

"Xiangyu! I'm so happy, he's not a stray animal!"

Xia the witch doctor did not interact with the stray beasts; she remained his spiritual pillar and a great female whom he could admire.

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Sheng Xia, who was surrounded by everyone, and thought that she looked extremely beautiful when she smiled.

Summer smiled and quietly explained to the chief why Tiger Hill had appeared in Summer Forest.

"That's right, Xiong Qi and the others meant well, but they misunderstood."

"Haha, it's alright, it's alright, as long as it's not a stray beast." The chief laughed heartily and breathed a sigh of relief.

He then looked around and said, "Hurry back! What if the females get sick from the cold? Can't you see it's snowing?"

The chief, who had been living in danger for a long time, spoke in a calm tone that made everyone tremble at the same time, whether from the cold or from fear, no one knew.

They all reverted to their beast forms and ran home with their mates.

Facing the height of summer, his expression softened again: "Alright, Xiaxia, it's alright now. You can take the White Tiger with you. It's cold outside, go home quickly. I'm going home first."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and in a flash, he transformed into a majestic long-haired brown lion, quickly running home, where Yingying was still waiting for him in bed...
