The Eagle Clan didn't understand what "moderation and abundance" meant, but everyone was willing to listen to the little witch doctor and trusted her more and more.
So when they saw Xiao return with his prey and place it in front of Xia Yixin, holding flowers in his hands, all the tribespeople stopped what they were doing and looked at them excitedly.
Xia Yixin stared blankly at the man who had descended from the sky. The flowers he was holding were a variety she had never seen before, but they were somewhat similar to modern roses, like a variant. The flower heads were as big as a fist, emitting a delicate fragrance, and there were enough flowers to fill a handful.
Just then, Li, who was diagonally behind her, gave her a push and laughed, "Little witch doctor, what are you waiting for? Take it!"
Xia Yixin didn't know what it meant, but when she met Xiao's burning gaze, she inexplicably accepted the bouquet of flowers.
Immediately, the Eagle Clan erupted in cheers, singing and dancing.
Although they had long felt that their chieftain and the little witch doctor were a couple, now that she had accepted his invitation to form a bond, it was as good as done. How could they not be happy?
The joyful atmosphere made Xia Yixin vaguely realize that something was wrong. Holding the flowers that almost drowned her, she belatedly realized that this bouquet... could it mean something else?
But the horde of crabs that surged in as darkness fell disrupted everyone's revelry, and Xiao temporarily suppressed his excitement and joined the crab-hunting team.
That evening, the entire clan enjoyed a delicious crab soup, the most delicious meal they had ever had in their lives.
Xia Yixin finally asked Li indirectly, and when she got the answer, she almost choked on her soup.
"...A bond!?"
Good heavens!!
There's a huge misunderstanding here!
However, she accepted Xiao's pursuit in front of the entire clan, and now she was in a difficult situation. Moreover, she couldn't understand why Xiao would suddenly propose to form a pact with her.
No, she had to explain it to him clearly.
Xia Yixin, forgetting about the half-eaten meal, began searching for Xiao. Unfortunately, Xiao seemed to have vanished; he wasn't by the campfire or in the cliff. After searching for a while, it was already late at night, so she had no choice but to return to her cave, thinking that she would go out and talk to him if she heard any noise.
This was truly a huge blunder.
Night had fallen, and most of the Eagle Clan members were resting. Tonight, there were still many harmonious sounds.
As soon as Xia Yixin entered her cave, she was startled to find a dark figure standing inside in the dim light.
“It’s me.” Xiao stepped out of the shadows, his handsome face revealing deep blue eyes that seemed to burn with two flames.
At this point, the noise from next door grew increasingly louder.
Xia Yixin became increasingly flustered and hurriedly explained, "I really didn't know about that bouquet of flowers today... Don't come any closer, calm down..."
As she watched him approach, she was so frightened that she stepped back, forgetting that the cave was on the edge of the mountain wall. She lost her footing, screamed, and was about to fall.
Suddenly, a strong arm grabbed her hand, and she felt dizzy. When she came to her senses, she found herself in his arms.
Xia Yixin tried to break free, but she was no match for the powerful strength of the Beast Spirit Human Race.
Xiao thought she was just shy, so he comforted her, "Don't be shy, little one, I allow you to be my partner."
Xiao wanted to mark her with a contract.
She struggled violently, both shocked and angry. "Wait!" Alarm bells rang in her mind.
Finally, just as he touched the back of her neck, she snapped.
The spiritual energy in her dantian surged out, and she angrily pushed him away.
Caught off guard, the man was pushed more than ten steps away, and he stared at Xia Yixin in shock.
Xia Yixin, on the other hand, was so angry that she ran all the way to the cave entrance.
"Can't you listen to human language and calm down? This is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding! I have no idea that giving flowers means accepting a contract!" She was genuinely scared, a fear of males that came from her genes.
Her hands and feet were ice-cold, and her whole body was trembling, whether from anger or fear, as she looked at him warily.
Her resistance was like a bucket of cold water, calming Xiao down, which was followed by anger.
Misunderstand?
She accepted his advances in front of everyone!
But looking at the pale-faced, trembling little guy opposite him, his anger was like being hit by cold water, instantly leaving only a chilling feeling.
"You said you liked me." He asked, emphasizing each word, unwilling to give up. "Is this also a misunderstanding?"
"When did I..." Xia Yixin suddenly recalled the conversation last night, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I don't know what I did to give you the wrong impression, but Xiao, the person I like is not you. I have always regarded you as a friend, so... I'm sorry."
Whether it was her imagination or not, the harmonious sounds that had been rising and falling throughout the entire tribe suddenly quieted down for a moment.
A deathly silence fell over the cave.
Because he was in the shadows, Xia Yixin couldn't see his expression. Her heart was in turmoil, filled with guilt, grievance, and a sense of inexplicable confusion. She also felt a fear of the vulnerability of females in the Beast Spirit World, a feeling she was experiencing for the first time.
I don't know how much time passed.
Xiao suddenly moved. She instinctively stepped back, her hand already reaching for her weapon in her storage ring, but she really didn't want to get into a fight with the male supporting character because of a misunderstanding.
However, the owl simply turned and left.
She watched the figure disappear through the cave entrance, her knees buckled and she collapsed to the ground, her heart pounding for a long time before finally calming down.
She wiped away something that wasn't actually on the back of her neck, and only after she had completely calmed down did she belatedly realize a problem.
"System, has the male supporting character's happiness level decreased?"
"Host, you've finally remembered. The good news is there isn't. The bad news is that the male supporting character's happiness level is still negative, currently at -100."
Xia Yixin breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little confused. She carefully recalled her initial interactions with Xiao, but couldn't understand at all where this male beast spirit had misunderstood her.
And how do I explain this to my clansmen... and how do I get along with him in the future?
A troublesome person.
The next day.
The entire eagle clan noticed that their chieftain was not behaving properly.
Last night, some of the tribesmen who were close by and had sharp ears heard Xia Yixin's conversation with Xiao, so they looked at Xiao with more sympathy.
As for the misunderstanding that caused all this, Xia Yixin later explained it to Li. After being shocked, Li suddenly realized that the other party was not one of her own people. Indeed, from Xiao's confession to the encouragement of the clansmen, they were all too presumptuous.
The Eagle Clan is not a petty group; on the contrary, they highly value individual freedom.
Although the people in the tribe felt regretful about the misunderstanding, they gradually accepted it. However, the relationship between Xia Yixin and Xiao inevitably changed.
It started as a one-sided cold war.
Xiao was furious; the little guy had actually rejected him.
There were even females who rejected him!
What's even more infuriating is that after calming down, he realized that he hadn't explained things to her beforehand.
He was just being presumptuous.
Ha ha!
How ridiculous! He, the dignified patriarch of the Eagle Clan, actually had a day when he was delusional and rejected by a female. You should know that even that wicked woman, Lin Luo, was rejected by him.
