It feels warm in winter, but extremely hot in summer; the whole earth feels like it's being scorched by flames.
"We're walking in the forest, so we won't get hot because the sun isn't shining on us. What does it matter? We can still come out and play. It's better to come out and walk around than to stay in the cave all the time."
"Besides, the snake cubs need companionship; I'm really worried they'll encounter danger if they go out hunting alone."
Carlos: "You really don't need to worry about the snake cubs. They haven't separated yet. Eight snakes together are enough for them to travel. But you said it would be at least a few months before they could return to the ancient continent."
"Otherwise, I would have sent them out on their own adventure."
Carlos had explained to Guo Xiaoxiao many times the differences between the habits of snake cubs and those of ordinary wild animals.
Guo Xiaoxiao listened, but not completely. It was something that had fallen on her own shoulders; how could she just abandon it like that?
She had nothing to do in the cave, so she went out of the forest with the snake cub.
"I understand, I just want to be with them."
"I just can't do anything with you."
Carlos agreed readily, otherwise Guo Xiaoxiao would definitely not be happy.
Guo Xiaoxiao hugged and kissed Carlos, then pulled him towards the stream on the other side.
…
Inside the cave, Irina stood guard at the main entrance and glanced towards the forest. Apart from Guo Xiaoxiao, no other females were allowed to enter or leave the cave.
This rule didn't provoke much resistance from the females, who hadn't left their tribe in the past and hadn't found it particularly difficult to accept.
But Irina was different; she wanted to go out too, as if she were inferior, being forced and restricted.
Amansa went to find Guo Xiaoxiao, but missed her again, and then ran into Cang Jue who was going home to get something.
Amansa was left completely bewildered after Cang Jue lectured her again, still seething with anger because of that fall.
Guo Xiaoxiao treated her the same as always, playing with her whenever they bumped into each other, but most of the time she couldn't find her; Guo Xiaoxiao often ran off into the forest.
I really want to go out with her sometime, but I wonder if she would be willing?
Amansa didn't see anything wrong with Guo Xiaoxiao wanting to enjoy some special privileges; her contributions and achievements were enough to allow her to stand out among the females.
"Sasha, you're going to find Xiaoxiao again?"
Irina happened to bump into Amansa, whose attitude towards Irina had improved; she no longer thought Irina was pretentious and always talked about how beautiful she was.
Irina still hadn't broken her bad habit while chatting, but Amansa didn't mind. She even offered to detoxify and save lives, so such a minor flaw was acceptable; don't be too harsh on her.
"Yes, but she's not here. She must have gone out. She goes to the forest every day now, it's so hard to find her."
Irina laughed and said, "Then you should visit her less often. I can play with you too. Xiaoxiao is a high priestess, her status is different from ours. I don't think her males like you very much either. Maybe she doesn't want to chat at all, so don't force her."
Amansa: "I...I didn't force her. We're friends. What's wrong with me looking for her? Really."
Irina smiled and said, "Then have your male take you into the forest to find her and play with her."
Amansa pouted: "Females aren't allowed to leave the cave, you know that."
Irina: "Hehe, look at my memory. I see Guo Xiaoxiao running around every day, so I forgot about this rule."
Amansa glanced at her sideways: "You're so smart, how could you forget things? Xiaoxiao is a great witch, you can't be jealous of her. Stop comparing your looks with her, you can't beat her."
Irina remained unmoved, saying, "I'm not jealous of her. I'm no match for her beauty and abilities. I know my limitations. Besides, she's a high priestess; it's only natural for her to come and go from the cave if she wants to."
“We are just ordinary females. I study Monet every day, but no matter how much I learn, I'm still just an ordinary female. I only gave you a little advice just now, and if you really don't like hearing it, I won't say anything more.”
He paused and then continued
"At least, if you come to me, I'll be there anytime."
Irina said she was about to leave, and Amansa, feeling she had been a bit too harsh on Irina, called her back.
"Um, Irina, I'm sorry, I went a bit too far. Let's go back to the room and eat some fruit together."
Irina, with her back to Amansa, gave a knowing smile.
"OK"
After playing with Amansa and the other females for a while, she chatted with them and smiled, no longer emphasizing her own beauty.
Irina has one advantage: she knows what people like to hear. She used to often say she was beautiful, without realizing it.
Later, she realized that the females there didn't like listening to her talk like that, so she corrected her shortcomings and improved her communication skills.
Her status is now vastly different; she is no longer the most noble female in the Zemin tribe. She must proceed with caution at every step. One day, she will be able to surpass Guo Xiaoxiao as the most precious female in the Beast City.
After building rapport with the females, Irina went straight to Fara's room, and Fara was annoyed by her presence.
Irina longed to relax and do nothing, but things just wouldn't go her way. She was about to give up, but after looking around, only Falae was a four-star male. Becoming his mate would elevate her status.
Unfortunately, Fara wasn't interested in her. Irina wasn't angry; strong people always have their pride.
Moreover, Falley's personality isn't very good at communication, and he himself doesn't want to be in a relationship.
"What are you doing here? Get out of here right now, I want to sleep. If you keep coming to see me every day like this, I won't be so polite. Even if you're female, I'll still take action."
Irina wasn't angry; she squatted down next to Falai.
"I just want you to like me. My beauty isn't enough to attract you, but even if I didn't bother you, other females would come. Have you noticed that since I came to see you, the other females have stopped coming? That's all thanks to me."
