The original animal skin skirt was so worn that it had developed a patina. She gave Xi Qing and Bei Ji new animal skin skirts, but she didn't have one for herself.
Indeed, Si Yan didn't want to wear the stiff animal skin skirt anymore, so she accepted Mu Xiao's gift.
"I'll pay you back later," Si Yan promised, not wanting to owe anyone a favor.
Si Yan quickly washed herself in the seawater and then changed into a new animal skin coat and skirt.
The form-fitting, comfortable red crocodile skin outfit perfectly showcased her figure, leaving Mu Xiao staring wide-eyed.
In the beast world, healthy and strong women have always been considered beautiful, and he has always believed so.
He never imagined that he would one day find thin and small females attractive.
Si Yan moved around a bit and found that the crocodile skin outfit that Mu Xiao had prepared for her was breathable and easy to move in. Hunting would no longer be hindered by the previous loose animal skin skirt, which was quite good.
She readily accepted.
While roasting the barnacles, Si Yan casually said to Mu Xiao, "Mu Xiao, I'm all better now, I can go back."
Mu Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He had finally managed to lure this little female out of Yanxiang, and he wanted to spend more time alone with her. He didn't want to send her back now.
Wood Owl slowly turned around and feigned distress: "Little female, I accidentally stumbled into the lair of a sea crocodile and am now injured. I may need a few days to recover before I can go back."
Si Yan looked at him with utter disbelief: "You're injured?"
Si Yan's distrustful gaze hurt Mu Xiao deeply. He lifted the feather robe draped over his body, and Si Yan saw the bright red wounds beneath his snow-white feathers.
With dramatic flair, Wood Owl dramatically sprawled on the ground: "I'm badly injured, I might die..."
It looks like he was indeed injured.
Si Yan put aside her doubts and began to eat her seafood breakfast.
Wood Owl complained, "Little female, the Rock Village tribe treats you so badly. The females in our Beast City never need to hunt. The females in our Beast City can take care of their cubs when they want, and sleep or play when they don't. Hunting, processing food, cleaning, or any other work, these are all the males' jobs!"
Si Yan wasn't listening very attentively, but she still listened.
Gradually, a picture of male-female relationships in the beast world came to mind.
The female can swagger around at home and do whatever she wants.
A group of males hunt, work, and together support a difficult female.
Hmm, this kind of world seems quite happy for females.
Seeing that Si Yan's expression softened, Mu Xiao coaxed her gently, "Little female, why don't you come with me to White Eagle City? I'm sure you'll have a great time there. Not to mention, White Eagle City has a true Beast God Envoy. If you don't want to, I can join the Rock Village tribe. I won't let you do these dangerous jobs anymore."
Si Yan understood what Mu Xiao meant; the male beastmen were indeed very direct.
She smiled calmly and said, "Thank you, I can hunt by myself."
She stood up and patted herself on the back. "Thank you for the clothes. I'll return the animal hides I hunt later."
Mu Xiao immediately replied, "A gift from me, Mu Xiao, doesn't need to be returned!"
Si Yan did not respond.
She was thirsty, but seawater was undrinkable, so she went to the island to look for a freshwater source.
Si Yan glanced at Mu Xiao.
Let the injured male recuperate here; bringing him along might only be a burden.
Si Yan calmly replied, "Keep her healthy."
Wood Owl immediately stood up: "Where are you going, little female?... You're just a weak female, how could I, a big male, let you wander around alone!"
Si Yan ignored him and walked deeper into the island.
Mu Xiao followed behind, muttering curses under his breath. Si Yan took out the purple snake scales in her hand and waved the vines forward to make the path easier.
The island has abundant plant resources. After finding one or two fruits, Si Yan used her plant-based abilities to check if they were poisonous. If they were not poisonous, she would eat some fruit to replenish her water.
Looking at the unusual female before him, Wood Owl gradually accepted his role as someone following behind her. He asked, "Little female, I've always had a question for you: how did you learn to control fire?"
Si Yan became cautious. She understood the significance of fire to the orcs, so she needed to come up with a reasonable explanation.
After thinking for a moment, Si Yan casually said, "I had a dream. I dreamt of the Beast God, and the Beast God taught me."
Wood Owl stared at her in astonishment: "You met the Beast God? You are the Beast God's messenger?"
Si Yan turned around and slapped his head: "You talk too much!"
However, just then, Si Yan suddenly noticed a watermark on the path beside her. She stopped Mu Xiao, who was about to speak, and went forward to examine the watermark.
Upon closer inspection, the watermarks reflected iridescent colors, leading Si Yan to conclude that they were traces left by a living organism.
"Such a strong fishy smell." Wood Owl sniffed. "It's a big fish."
"How come there are fish here?" Si Yan asked. "Are the fish here amphibious?"
"We're here? Amphibious?" Wood Owl shook his head: "I don't know."
Si Yan ran ahead first, while Mu Xiao followed, complaining, "My beautiful white feathers have all been dirtied by these filthy branches and leaves."
Si Yan replied, "How could you bird-beastmen not like branches and leaves?"
Mu Xiao said helplessly and aggrievedly, "Of course I like it. But it's so sticky and greasy, I hate it."
