"It feels so good to earn coins!"

As the summer sun shone through, she watched the goods on her stall gradually dwindle, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling and curving into crescents as she murmured to herself.

"Mom, I'll give you all the shell coins I earn when I grow up." Lion Qing waved his furry paws in front of the animal skin stall, not forgetting to turn around and reply.

None of the orcs in the Cat Tribe had any special abilities, and their hearing wasn't as sharp as Shi Qing's. They didn't hear Sheng Xia's mutterings, but they saw the little golden lion cub suddenly turn around and say something.

Everyone burst into laughter, teasing him good-naturedly: "The little brat doesn't understand yet. When you have a partner, you have to give them to your partner."

"Yes, they should all be given to your partner."

"Hahaha, this little brat hasn't even grown his feathers yet and he's already thinking about earning coins, tsk tsk tsk... He looks clever, but he's not..."

Lion Qing knew perfectly well what was going on, but he didn't argue. He quickly replaced the hide with a less-than-ideal one and gave it to the male who was laughing the loudest.

"Here you go, two shell coins."

Hmph, he insists on giving the cowrie shells to his mother.

If you talk nonsense, you'll be scolded when you get back with that ugly animal skin!

He realized that the male animal hides were bought for the females, and that they were all light-colored and attractive hides.

The animal hide he put on had a few wormholes. He originally planned to clean it and sell it, but now...?

Hehe, let him get a scolding before he goes to wash clothes.

The teasing from the other end made Shengxia shut her mouth, who was about to speak. She decided to wait until there were no more orcs before talking to Aqing in private.

We can't let our little one become a mama's boy...

As she watched more and more beastmen gather around to buy things, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips and raised her chin to look towards Mao Ning and the others.

It was a vast, dark mass; she couldn't see it even when she stood on tiptoe.

The next second, her gaze suddenly rose, and she instinctively hugged the head beside her and looked down.

And then I met a pair of beautiful blue eyes.

She was momentarily stunned, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Xingmu."

My sweet little brother~

Xingmu smiled sweetly, her dimples standing out even more as she didn't show her teeth, which made Shengxia's eyes light up.

A mischievous glint flashed in her eyes, and she playfully poked her dimple, finding it incredibly cute with its smooth, bouncy texture.

After a while of being affectionate, she blinked her bright almond-shaped eyes and looked into the distance. She saw that most of the items at the stalls over there had been sold out, and the snake-faced witch doctor was grinning from ear to ear.

That's great!

Sheng Xia breathed a sigh of relief, completely at ease, and smiled sweetly with her chin raised.

As soon as Spider Lotus arrived, she saw the little female being held high in her arms, her smooth face something she had never had in her youth.

It's so beautiful!

So fair, so tender, so cute...

Spider Lotus stared at Sheng Xia, then quickly thought of her new lover at home. She coughed lightly, feeling uneasy, and looked away.

She cleared her throat, her eyes suddenly turning cold. She narrowed her eyes slightly, scrutinizing Sheng Xia, her voice urgent yet gentle.

"I heard your fever reducer is very good?"

He was speaking to everyone, but his eyes were fixed on Sheng Xia.

The scene fell silent for a moment. Everyone keenly sensed something, put down what they were holding, and stood there watching the two females staring at each other with curiosity.

Wolf King and his men lowered their gazes slightly, becoming subtly wary.

Hearing the spider's voice, Shengxia turned her head curiously. She had never seen an old female in Yafatu or anywhere else.

She had visited quite a few tribes, but she had never seen an elderly female, though she had seen quite a few elderly males.

Sadly, the females here don't live to old age.

She blinked, suppressing the bitterness and sympathy in her heart, and looked up curiously.

A female wearing a thick bearskin was seen being carried on her partner's neck. Her back was very straight, her face was serious, and her eyes were large. It was clear that she was very beautiful when she was young.

Her dozen or so companions subtly surrounded her in a protective posture, looking at her with extreme affection.

Goodness, if you look closely, half of her partners are young men, and they all look at her with obvious affection.

Suddenly, the phrase "a pear blossom overshadows a crabapple" popped into my head, giving me a jolt in the summer heat.

She composed herself and asked warmly, "Hello, we have fever reducers here, would you like to buy some?"

It's rare to see an older female, so I'll give her a discount.

"Buy? I, Spider Lotus, gave birth to seven offspring, and the female goddess herself praised me. Do you expect me to buy a fever reducer? Give me one... but not two."

Although only three of the seven survived, there's no need to tell the orcs outside...

Shengxia: "..." Why does this look like she's looking for trouble?

Does she mean she wants me to give it away for free?

She has a small face but a pretty face.

Sheng Xia smiled enigmatically: "You want some shell coins."

"Hurry up, I need it urgently!" Seeing Sheng Xia staring at her with wide eyes in shock, and then mocking her for not having any coins, Zhi Lian felt embarrassed and angrily retorted.

Wolf King and the others, who were originally in front of the stall, noticed something was wrong and gathered around in front of Sheng Xia.

The powerful aura startled Spider Lotus for a moment, until she saw that her mates numbered less than half of her own, and she raised her chin and smiled contemptuously.

They dare to go out with so few companions.

How embarrassing!

Hurry up, I need it urgently!

Sheng Xia was almost laughing in anger. She curled her lips and said, word by word, "I'll say it again, if you want it, take out the shell coins. If you're not buying, get out of the way and don't block the road, thank you."

Spider Lotus paused for a moment, glanced at the males beside Sheng Xia, then looked back at herself, thinking that she was ready again.

He then gave his partner a wink and confidently ordered, "Go get a copy; Ali is waiting for the medicine to save his life."

She refused to believe that a female from another tribe would dare to openly fight in their tribe; even if she dared, it wouldn't matter.

What's the point of having several partners?

As soon as Spider Lotus finished speaking, apart from the male holding her and two bodyguards, the other males rushed towards the fever reducer stall without hesitation.

Sheng Xia's eyes widened in surprise, and she involuntarily gripped Xing Mu's arm tightly. Her brows furrowed slightly as she quickly looked at Jiao Su, who was closest to her.

"Su Su, stop them."

It's best to avoid conflict if possible, but we're not afraid of trouble if it comes.

The spider-lotus partners originally thought it was a simple matter.

But they lost at the very first step, and a group of males looked down in disbelief at their feet.

No, why can't I move?

What a powerful aura!

They looked up in shock, meeting a pair of emotionless golden eyes. Jiao Su spoke slowly.

"Get out of here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the wide-eyed Spider Lotus, his clear and elegant voice carrying a hint of killing intent.

"If you don't leave now, you can forget about having a partner."

"Who is it, talking so arrogantly?" Mao Luo said in a sweet and soft voice as she was lazily held in her partner's arms.

Upon hearing her voice, the orcs of the Cat Tribe instinctively gave way, bowing respectfully and speaking in unison.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

In the height of summer, she looked up in surprise and met a pair of equally beautiful almond-shaped eyes. It was Mao Luo.
