"Five shell coins per pack, pay the shell coins first and then take the items~" Fox Snow looked at Big Yellow with a pure smile and sincere eyes.

"Alright, here you go!"

Without hesitation, Da Huang reached into his pocket and, with trembling hands, pulled out the animal skin bag containing the cowrie shells.

Shengxia opened her eyes in a daze, still somewhat confused by what she saw. It took her a while to realize that they had come out to sell things and were now in the Cat Tribe.

"Xia, aren't you going to sleep?" Aoki gently touched Shengxia's rosy cheeks with his big, furry paws.

"Hmm, I'm not going to sleep anymore." Sheng Xia smiled and prepared to get up, only to realize that she was still holding the big golden tail.

She rubbed her face against it, and when she noticed Aoki flinch, she stood up with a satisfied smile, playfully winking at the lion.

The cold wind was still biting, but the snow had stopped.

The news about the fever reducer spread like wildfire, and soon the entire cat tribe knew about it.

At this very moment, in a spacious stone house.

"I heard they sell fever reducers in the square?"

"The fever will stop immediately after eating it?"

Why don't you go and buy some?

"Was it on purpose to watch my new partner burn to death?"

An elderly woman with white hair stared coldly at her dozen or so companions and questioned them.

The partners explained helplessly.

"No, Lian'er, we've given you all the cowrie shells..."

"Yes, yes, we love you the most. How could we bear to see you sad? We really don't have any more coins at home."

"There are no more animal hides left; they've all been used to buy him."

The female choked, then immediately looked down at the tender young man lying on the bed, her gaze instantly turning tender and infatuated.

She lowered her head, pouted her wrinkled lips, and lingered on his bright red and tender lips for a while.

She kissed the boy until he was breathless, then, with the help of her other companions, she shakily straightened up, her gaze lingering on the boy's lower abdomen for a moment.

Seeing his still-flat animal skin skirt, she frowned slightly: "Don't worry, Ali, I will bring back the fever reducer."

It's a shame it died after only being used once.

She gave birth to so many children for the tribe, so it should be easy for her to ask the goddess for cowrie shells to save her mate, right?

The goddess is so kind...

Ali lay on his bed, utterly despondent and feeling like he was living a life worse than death. Having been sold here, he felt he might as well be dead.

"No, don't waste your coins to save me..." He didn't want to live.

The female nodded in satisfaction upon hearing his sensible words; he was someone who knew how to be grateful.

She turned to look at the door and commanded in a high-pitched, coquettish voice, "Eagle Eye, Cat Qu, Tiger Forest, come with me to the square."

"Okay." Several young men said in unison.

They quickly dressed her, wrapped her up tightly, and carefully and tenderly carried her out the door.

The remaining older males looked at the boy on the bed with complicated expressions: "You'd better get better soon, so as not to make Lian'er sad."

After saying that, he grabbed his animal skin coat and stepped out the door through the snow.

Other males followed one after another, until only one male, with white hair like the female, remained.

He went over and covered the boy on the bed with the animal skin, muttering to himself in a very soft voice,

"I wonder if the goddess will go to the square to watch the fun... She probably will, I heard she likes novel things."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Ali's eyes lit up with surprise as he lay on the bed. That's it! He could ask the Goddess to remove the partner mark!

Then I'll work hard to earn coins to repay Spider Lotus...

The cat sneezed, shoving the male who was busy by the bed to his feet. The male immediately looked up and gave a fawning smile.

"Luo Luo, what's wrong? Don't you like it? I haven't had any ice cream yet... How about we try some more?"

"No!" Mao Luo frowned slightly, glancing disdainfully at the curly fur on his nose.

She let out a soft moan and raised her delicate hand. Immediately, a male came over and lovingly helped her up.

Another male came over with warm water and carefully wiped her down. The others also gathered around, some feeding her water, others combing her hair.

Soon, Mao Luo, dressed neatly, sat down in the chair.

A bowl of steaming food sat before her, its irresistible aroma wafting over. A pale-skinned man pushed the bowl towards her.

"Luo Luo, try this! There are some people from other tribes selling things in our square. I bought a bowl and tested it; it's not poisonous." She swallowed after saying that.

It smells so good...

Cat's eyes lit up with surprise. "What is this? It smells so good!" She eagerly reached out to grab it. "Ouch, it's so hot! How am I supposed to eat this?"

"Luo Luo, shall I feed you?"

"Okay, hurry up and feed him!"

After quickly finishing the bowl, Maolu licked his lips, still wanting more. His eyes lit up when he saw his partner's oily hands, and he moved closer.

The male's gaze deepened, and Mao Luo raised his head and smiled knowingly: "You did very well today, here's a reward for you, come on."

"Um!"

...

The elderly, gray-haired woman outside the door, hearing the pleasurable sounds inside, felt an unbearable itch all over her body. She scratched herself uncomfortably, then randomly pointed to a mate and commanded,

"You, come here and squat down to do the work."

"Okay!" The male was flattered and immediately ran over and squatted down, looking up at his elderly partner with adoration.

Her hair was gray and her face was full of wrinkles, but she was still lovely.

How lucky he was! Being old has its advantages. Most of her partners were also old, so he, being young, would be more pampered.

Here it is, I've ordered it!

...

After a long while, the cat fell into a deep sleep in its partner's arms, while the gray-haired female outside the door lay listlessly in its partner's arms.

"Let's go... let's go straight to the square."

She refused to believe that a precious female like herself wouldn't ask for some medicine to treat her fever.

"Okay, Lian'er, don't rush. Pull your clothes up properly; it's too cold outside." Her partner helped her straighten her clothes with a concerned expression.

Then a group of handsome males escorted an elderly female with gray hair, and they marched in a grand procession toward the square.
