"Yes! They've caught up with us!" Cheng Guo nodded solemnly, then added something as she thought of something.
"That bug was shameless; it sneaked in while everyone was sleeping, trying to get into my bed, but Manghe and the others found it and chased it away."
They sneaked in again in the middle of the night. We couldn't kill them or drive them away, so we had to arrest them...
They talked non-stop, like beans being poured out.
Chengguo's face was flushed, and her nose was slightly furrowed, like a little kid tattled on to his parents, which made Shengxia feel both sorry for him and amused.
"How did they catch up? Were there many?"
The insect seemed quite intelligent; it wasn't surprising that it could understand the beastmen's speech. Modern dogs also have the intelligence of a young child. What was strange was that it could understand them yet still ran into them.
Aren't you afraid of death?
Or are they just fearless and reckless?
Shengxia thought it might be the latter.
It's not that Guoguo's partner's ability level is low; even an eighth-level wolf king couldn't kill this insect, it's simply an invincible existence.
After all, if she hadn't accidentally used her healing ability to attack, she wouldn't have discovered its weakness.
Normal attacks feel like tickling it...
"I don't know why they chased after us. There weren't many, just two. Look, they're still buried there even though they couldn't be killed."
When Chengguo heard Shengxia's question, her eyes lit up, and she excitedly pointed to the insects in the mound of earth.
The colors are so beautiful!
There were exactly two. She originally wanted to make them into accessories for her clothes, one for Xiaxia and one for herself.
Unexpectedly, even after several partners joined forces and used all their abilities, the beautiful pink bug didn't change at all.
Even when it's buried in the ground, it can still crawl out on its own. There's nothing we can do but bury it for now and wait for Xiaxia to mark it before we see what to do next...
Yang Yun, who was standing nearby, spotted Sheng Xia's figure with sharp eyes. Her eyes lit up, and she gently patted Qing Mu's arm, speaking in a clear and pleasant voice.
“Xiaxia and the others have finished, they must be very hungry. Make a set of chairs, and I'll ask Wolf King for help to add a few dishes.”
Xiaxia must be exhausted after all these days. He should cook more of her favorite dishes, and maybe add some salt and pepper mushrooms...
"Okay, okay, watch me!" Aoki nodded with a bright smile, glanced at the sweltering summer in the distance, and began to select a site in a cheerful mood.
The morning breeze was gentle, and the waves were soft.
Yang Yun hummed a tune she often hummed in the summer, a slight smile curving her lips, and her steps unconsciously became much lighter.
Fox Snow watched Yang Yun brush past her, a hint of doubt flashing in her narrow fox eyes. Why was he suddenly so happy?
Thinking of something, Hu Xue lifted her eyelids and looked around. Judging from the little sheep's expression, Xia Xia must be coming out!
Sure enough, I saw her at the Chengguo family's dining table, next to Little Scorpion, whose eyes were fixed on Xiaxia with love in them.
"Tsk tsk," that's really brave!
I wonder if they called her "sister" back then?
She should have called him that by now. That little scorpion must have realized that Sister Xiaxia loves that nickname, especially at crucial moments...
Thinking of something, Hu Xue lowered her eyes and looked at the ground. The red mole at the corner of her eye suddenly turned alluring, and the whole beast looked inexplicably charming.
This scene was witnessed by Aoki, who had just finished setting up the tables and chairs. He clapped his hands and laughed so hard he bent over: "Hahaha... Fox Snow... Haha... You're so sassy!"
He had never seen a male make that expression before.
Ugh!
The male is very effeminate...
Aoki's confidence soared, and he thought sweetly to himself, "It's only because Xiaxia kindly took in Hu Xue that someone like her would never find a partner."
Xiaxia loves him like this~
Aoki's voice was so loud that Orange and the others could hear it.
Shengxia chuckled, meeting Hu Xue's aggrieved eyes from afar. She quickly pursed her lips to suppress her laughter and put on a sweet smile again.
Fox Snow smiled, tilting her head playfully and winking.
The little female's sweet appearance made Xing Mu's eyes widen. He followed Sheng Xia's face with fascination, and a shallow dimple appeared on his lips.
Chengguo glanced at Shengxia's expression and realized that she didn't mind the term "partner flirting," so she immediately stopped trying to hide it.
She turned back to look at Hu Xue with surprise, then turned to Sheng Xia with a gossipy expression, saying in what she thought was a low voice but was actually quite loud.
"Xiaxia, is your fox really that flirtatious?"
She thought Xiaxia's fox was beautifully colored and wanted to find a fox mate, but then she said foxes were slutty.
How provocative is it?
She was curious, but hesitated to ask.
Orcs are mostly simple-minded, and their thoughts are written all over their faces, especially Orange Fruit.
Shengxia immediately saw through her thoughts, chuckled, leaned closer, and whispered.
"He's a good guy, not at all frivolous. Don't take Aoki's jokes seriously. If you like, just get a fox."
Foxes don't act provocatively; they just like to seduce animals.
"Really? That's great!" Orange jumped up with a smile.
A gentle breeze carries the distinctive salty smell of the sea.
Tie Bai, who had just returned from picking fruit, saw Sheng Xia and his eyes lit up. He was about to come over when he saw her chatting happily with Cheng Guo. He smiled and went back to his work without disturbing her.
His eyes were constantly focused on this side.
Soon, Yang Yun placed the freshly prepared food on the table, and Tie Bai also brought out the flavorful fruit tea. Steam rose from the table.
A rich aroma wafted over on the wind.
Cheng Guo's eyes lit up at first, then she saw the dining table and suddenly remembered that Sheng Xia hadn't eaten yet.
When she mentioned the pink bug, she got so excited that she forgot about her food. Orange glanced at the table and slapped herself on the head in frustration.
"Xiaxia, we'll talk later, let's eat first!"
Xiaxia must be very hungry after being tired for several days. It's all my fault for being too excited and almost delaying Xiaxia's meal.
