Hearing the praise, Hu Xue's lips almost curled up to the sky. He lowered his eyes and kissed her forehead, his clear voice filled with obvious laughter.
"Yes, it's a newly discovered grass. It's very resilient. Soaking it in water for two days is enough. It's soft and feels cool to the touch."
He found it when he went out hunting. It grew by the water and was pink. He thought he could make it into straw sandals, and Xiaxia would definitely like it.
Suddenly, Sheng Xia tiptoed, hugged Hu Xue's neck, and whispered, "Thank you, Fox, you're so kind~"
Seeing the little boy beside her out of the corner of her eye, Sheng Xia froze, her ears turning red.
Oh no, I was so happy to see the straw sandals that I didn't notice there was a strange male next to me.
She calmly stepped out of Hu Xue's embrace.
"Alright, let's go to the chief's cave."
The bright sunshine made the beast look even more youthful in the height of summer, with skin so delicate it seemed like it could be broken with a touch, captivating everyone's attention.
Fox Snow's gaze was fixed on her, holding Sheng Xia's hand, their fingers intertwined, her heart bubbling with happiness.
I just hope this road is longer, much longer.
The cave was surrounded by lush trees, and the ground was covered with vegetation. The usual paths were kept very clean, and even in the height of summer, Hu Xue didn't carry her.
They walked forward hand in hand.
The air was fresh and the sun was shining brightly. In the midsummer heat, she was in a cheerful mood and hummed a song as she walked briskly.
Hu Xue sensed Sheng Xia's good mood and inexplicably became happy as well. He saw a small red flower by the roadside, his eyes lit up, and he picked it and placed it in Sheng Xia's palm.
Shengxia took it and returned it with a sweet smile.
Fox Snow: I don't want my heart to race either, but she smiles so sweetly at me!
When he smiled, a small, bright red mole at the corner of his eye added a touch of color to his already beautiful face, making Sheng Xia swoon for a moment.
She reached out and touched his suddenly popped-out, excitedly twitching furry ears, then hooked her arms around his neck and pulled him down.
Her full, red lips pressed against his, kissing him passionately.
After the kiss, Hu Xue blinked, forcing herself to calm down, and subtly pulled down the hem of the animal skin skirt.
He took Shengxia's hand again and walked forward, stroking it excitedly.
Along the way, busy males came and went. When they saw Shengxia, they would all excitedly stop and bow their heads respectfully, calling her "Xia the Witch Doctor".
Sheng Xia's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents, and she quickened her pace.
The young boy dutifully followed Sheng Xia, his gaze fixed on her feet, unable to look away.
That's amazing!
How did you come up with that idea?
It can actually walk!
He didn't understand shoes made of grass, but since Xia Wuyi's partner did it, it must work.
In less than ten minutes, we arrived at the entrance to the chief's cave.
The moment they saw Shengxia, Crab Red and Crab Shadow's gazes simultaneously fell on her feet. What was that?!
It looks somewhat familiar; it seems to be made from pink grass found near freshwater. They can probably tell what the raw material is.
But the exquisite patterns and the woven structure of the shoes left them completely bewildered, their pupils dilating as they looked utterly unsophisticated.
"Did your partner make this?" A look of amazement flashed in Crab's red eyes, and his tone carried a hint of admiration.
The magical Summer God's Messenger can even make shoes out of grass!
Shoes are available here too.
Females have delicate skin that is easily injured, so people would make shoes out of animal hides to wrap their tender feet and prevent them from getting hurt.
But he had never seen anything so exquisite!
Sheng Xia's almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents as she glanced at Hu Xue, who was secretly laughing beside her, before turning her head and saying with a proud expression.
"Yes, these are shoes knitted by my dog, Fox Snow."
Her almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents, and her smug smile was particularly captivating to Hu Xue; she couldn't suppress the upturned corners of her mouth.
She smiled broadly on the surface, but secretly her heart was pounding.
Xiaxia praised him!
That's great!
He was praised in front of other tribal chiefs, and Xiaxia said she loves him so much! He loves Xiaxia even more!
Half an hour later
Upon hearing the news brought back by the flying orcs, Shengxia and the chieftain of the Crab Roe Tribe remained silent.
After a while, Crab Red raised its head.
"Everything is fate. We must be prepared to face even more turbulent seas than our ancestors encountered a thousand years ago."
His face twitched, and his words were tinged with a sorrowful sigh. He slowly walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the calm sea.
Crab Red's words shocked everyone, causing them to jump up and widen their eyes.
"What?!"
"Old Hong, what do you mean by 'a thousand years ago'?"
How many years is a thousand years?
What did our ancestors encounter?
Seeing everyone chattering away, asking one question after another, the chief glanced helplessly at Crab Red.
Oh well, everyone'll find out sooner or later.
He glanced around and found a circle of orcs inside the cave, all staring at him without blinking.
Crab Shadow turned to look at the sea outside, recalling the records in the animal skin scroll.
According to the animal skin scrolls, the tribe was not here a thousand years ago, but on a distant continent where a natural disaster struck.
A sudden surge of seawater split a super tribe into four. They drifted with the current for more than thirty days and nights before finally landing here, with only the water beast surviving.
This eventually led to the current Crab Roe Tribe.
Having thoroughly studied the animal skin scrolls, they were well aware of the power of natural disasters. Even their powerful ancestors couldn't resist them, so how could they?
After hearing the whole story, Sheng Xia's eyes lit up, and she suddenly understood – it made sense!
Golden patterns, her inexplicable desire to come here, the magical altar...
That explains everything!
She looked up and asked urgently.
"Divided into four parts, where are the others? Do you know where they are?" If nothing unexpected happens, Yafatu should be a local tribe.
Crab Roe Tribe is one, and there are three more.
Perhaps if you collect them all, you can summon a dragon... oh no, I mean, you can complete the golden totem pattern.
There might be an unexpected surprise!
That's how it's always portrayed in TV dramas...
The sweet, soft voice in the height of summer inexplicably broke the ice that had plummeted to freezing point, and everyone's precarious faith was rekindled.
The atmosphere became relaxed and comfortable again.
The beastmen in the cave gradually turned their attention to Shengxia, seeing that their only variable had become their savior.
Then he looked at the crab shadow, his expression filled with anticipation.
Mermaid Xi couldn't hold back any longer and urged Crab Shadow, "Tell me quickly, such a powerful tribe, surely they can be found again, right?"
If we come together, will we become stronger?
Thinking of this, Mermaid Xi's breathing became rapid.
Crab Shadow sighed and shook his head, his tone slightly dejected.
"There's no way, we don't know where it is, so many, many years have passed, we can't find it, unless..."
