"Sorry, I have to take the baby home first."

Sephora was devastated. She pitied her baby and went home dejectedly.

The other beasts looked at Sheng Xia with sympathy, then took their tools and followed her out the door.

"Don't be afraid in the summer heat, there are no spider beastmen in my house. I'll come to see you another day."

"Mmm, there are no spider beastmen in my house either, Shengxia, don't be afraid."

Only then did they realize that what Shengxia was afraid of wasn't the cubs, but the spider beastmen!

After the females left, Shengxia immediately began to take off her clothes, and only felt at ease when she was completely naked.

"Aoki, I want to take a bath!" Shengxia said with an obvious nasal tone, sounding extremely pitiful.

She felt a lingering numbness on her back, and the palm of her right hand was icy cold that she couldn't shake off; she needed to take a shower immediately.

I don't want to wait even a second longer!

The female stood naked in front of Aoki, her eyes red-rimmed and tear stains still visible on her cheeks. Aoki's eyes darkened, and a surge of lustful fire coursed through his body.

"Okay, I'll take you to wash up. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Xia Zai. Don't be afraid anymore, okay?" Aoki comforted her gently with pity.

download?

whelp?

"Pfft, hahahahaha..."

Distracted by Aoki, Shengxia burst into laughter through her tears, clutching her stomach and laughing so hard that her eyes disappeared from her mouth.

The next morning.

Wolf King and Sheep Cloud, who were out hunting, had not yet returned. Shengxia ate the shrimp and egg custard made by Qingmu and gave it positive praise.

"It's delicious! So fresh and tender!" Sheng Xia's eyebrows curved into a smile, her eyes sparkling like stars.

Everyone in my family is practically a master chef now.

Able to hunt prey and cook in the kitchen, perfect!

"Is it even better than Yang Yun's?" Aoki's clear eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"Mmm, it's especially delicious, only slightly inferior to Yang Yun's cooking!" Sheng Xia nodded emphatically, her eyes squinting happily.

Suddenly, it started to rain, drip-drip-drip.

On a sweltering summer day, I looked up with delight, only to find the sky covered in dark clouds and the sun nowhere to be seen.

A gentle breeze swept by, bringing with it a damp, slightly chilly feeling.

You could try using an oil-paper umbrella!

Xu borrowed an umbrella from a certain lady and even went to get it back. This shows that oiled paper umbrellas were not easy to make in ancient times and were quite valuable!

Shengxia didn't know the specific craftsmanship of oiled paper umbrellas, but she could explain it to Aoki and let him figure it out!

"That's how it is. It's made of bamboo, and after it's dried, a layer of tung oil is brushed on it." Sheng Xia's eyes crinkled, and her voice was light and clear.

She simply wrote and drew, and after explaining it twice, Aoki understood.

He smiled and nodded, then turned his hands into claws, cleaned the bamboo, and cut it into thin, even slices.

The beast was full of vigor and confidence, very charming!

Shengxia watched in amazement. With a few quick swipes, the materials were prepared, and after some more work, the basic shape of an umbrella was complete.

A pair of hands flew out, leaving afterimages.

"Such sharp claws!" Sheng Xia exclaimed, her eyes wide.

Aoki involuntarily straightened his back, his movements becoming even more graceful and skillful.

Soon, only the last step remained—applying tung oil.

The tung oil was produced back when we were building houses and making furniture. A lot was made at once, and the rest was packed up and stored in the warehouse by Yang Yun.

"Alright, just brush on the tung oil and let it dry, then it's ready to use!" Sheng Xia said with a big smile.

Her oil-paper umbrellas are about to be finished!

Aoki frantically tried everything all morning, and in the summer he finally got an umbrella.

"Alright!" Aoki raised an eyebrow, handed the umbrella to Shengxia, and looked at her expectantly with his bright eyes.

The umbrella was large with a long handle. Shengxia took it and loved it so much that she spun around happily a few times before walking into the rain with it in her hand.

The constant ticking sound of the large umbrella created a dry and safe haven, giving people a strong sense of security.

Sheng Xia turned around and smiled, her bright and clear eyes filled with laughter: "It works very well."

The female, with her curved eyebrows, walked in the rain holding an umbrella. She wore a white fur dress and a snow-white sweater, looking elegant and charming.

Her voice came along with the sound of rain, faint and indistinct. Aoki stood there, stunned. His heart seemed to be out of control, beating so fast it wouldn't stop!

He walked unconsciously toward the height of summer. Rainwater soaked his hair, running down his cheeks, across his muscular chest, and disappearing into his abdominal muscles.

"Hey, why did you just walk over here?" Shengxia turned around and saw Qingmu, who was soaked by the rain.

Its golden hair clung to its face as it was washed by the rain, making the beast tall, majestic, and incredibly wild!

She couldn't help but swallow. That waist, those abs, that view under the animal skin skirt—it was amazing!

The two beasts breathed rapidly, their icy lips eagerly pressed together, their teeth intertwined, their hearts burning with passion.

Sometime later, the umbrella fell to the ground, and in the misty rain, the two animals kissed passionately, reluctant to part.

Aoki scooped up Shengxia in his arms and gently placed her on the sofa, his weight pressing down on her with an overwhelming sense of pressure.

He'd been wanting this sofa for a long time!

After a long while, feeling refreshed and exhausted from the summer heat, she lay on the bed with her eyes closed and the corners of her lips slightly upturned. Her little face was rosy, and she was sleeping soundly.

The rain has stopped, but the air is still a bit humid.

The dim sky slowly brightened as Wolf King and Sheep Cloud returned from their hunt.

They hurriedly returned home with the prepared beef, placed it in a clean place, and then quickly went to the stream to take a bath.

In the height of summer, she was very clean and disliked the smell of blood.

A smile played on Yang Yun's lips, his beautiful eyes sparkling as he followed Wolf King back, full of anticipation.

I wonder if Shengxia misses him.

Upon entering the main house, the stench permeating the air made both beasts shudder.

Yang Yun's eyes darkened.

Wolf King walked calmly into Summer's room. The female was covered in ambiguous marks, and she was sleeping soundly with a slight smile on her lips.

He couldn't resist lowering his head and taking her full, rosy lips into his mouth, sucking gently, reluctant to let go.

Treat it with the same gentleness one would show a work of art.

It was a bit oxygen-deprived in the sweltering summer heat, so I opened my mouth and took a couple of deep breaths before drifting off to sleep again.

Wolf King smiled silently, as gentle as ever.

The umbrella in the yard stood alone in place. After the rain, the summer had completely forgotten about the long-handled umbrella in the corner.

Aoki was in a good mood. He gently closed the large umbrella, took it back to his room, and carefully put it away.

Thinking of that romantic kiss in the rain, Aoki blinked, his eyes sparkling like stars.

He wanted to do it again!

"Midsummer! Midsummer! Are you home?"

The ground was muddy, and Orange was carried over by her partner on his neck.

"Wow, did you change your sofa? This new one looks even prettier!" Orange climbed off her partner's neck and looked excitedly at Shengxia's brand new sofa cushions.
