"What? It's noon?!"
In the sweltering summer heat, I jumped out of bed, looking around the dimly lit room in a daze. Was it already noon?
Judging from her expression, Wolf King knew what she was thinking. He smiled indulgently and gently combed her long hair with his hand.
A gentle, pleasant voice slowly explained, "There are no animal bone windows here, and the house is poorly lit."
The snowy season is cold, and all the gaps around the windows were sealed, leaving only a small vent, so the room was dark all day long.
The same was true in Yafatu during the snow season in the past. It was only after Xiaxia invented the heated kang (a traditional heated platform bed) that the indoor space became warm and comfortable.
Xiaxia is a treasure, a treasure in the family, and a treasure in the entire Yafatu.
Perhaps... they will become a treasure for the entire beast world in the future. Are a few companions really enough for now?
Wolf King gazed at Sheng Xia with deep affection, but a doubt arose in his heart—a doubt about his own strength.
"Hmm... okay, time to get up~" A sly glint flashed in Sheng Xia's eyes as she turned and fell to the side.
She landed happily in the wolf king's arms, met his worried eyes, and gave a playful smile.
Hehe, I knew you'd catch me~
It feels so good to have complete trust in your partner.
"Yes, I'm always here. Xiaxia can play wherever I am." Wolf King chuckled indulgently, cooperating with a look of complete leniency.
As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up clean clothes and carefully dressed Shengxia. Finally, she used her hands as a comb to tie a loose ponytail for Shengxia and tied it with a pink cordyceps ribbon.
"Alright." Wolf King leaned in and kissed her forehead, a smile playing on his lips, his deep brown eyes filled with doting affection.
"Thank you, Wolf King~ Let's go out quickly."
Don't keep the snake-containing witch doctor and the others waiting too long.
"good."
As soon as the door opened, Yang Yun appeared at the doorway carrying a bowl.
Seeing the neatly dressed Xia, his eyes lit up, and his ears secretly turned red: "Xia, wash up and drink some hot water to warm your stomach first. Dinner is being prepared; you can eat when we get there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Aoki squeezed through the crowd with a tooth-cleaning twig and brought it to Shengxia's lips.
"Xiaxia, eat quickly, you overslept today."
We need to hurry; it's too late to travel.
Reminded by Aoki, Shengxia thought of the gentle madness of last night, her face flushed, and she opened her mouth to chew on the tooth-cleaning twig.
A refreshing sensation spreads throughout the mouth, and the feeling of teeth being gently cleaned and enveloped makes one feel much better.
Tie Bai, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, curled the corners of her lips and skillfully gave Sheng Xia a full-body cleaning with her fingertips.
"Wow, that feels so good, thank you, Ah Bai."
Sheng Xia felt a sense of relief. She looked around and finally saw Tie Baige standing at the back, basking in the sun. She spoke in a sweet and soft voice.
A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a touch of chill.
Shengxia shrank her neck, bit her lower lip, and rubbed her hands together.
"Xia, let me carry you." The snow had been cleared, but there was a thin layer of frost on the road, making it easy to slip.
As he spoke, Wolf King leaned down slightly, picked up Shengxia, and put her on his neck, then slowly walked forward.
Her gaze suddenly shifted upwards, and Sheng Xia instinctively covered her head, blinking her bright almond-shaped eyes once.
"Ah, the air up there is so fresh!"
Yang Yun glanced at her tenderly, then quickly tidied up the room she had stayed in. Tie Bai cleaned it one last time, and when she left, the room was spotless.
As they watched the small, gleaming white female in the sunlight, the other males transformed into their beast forms and followed her around.
Looking at the cleaned path in the height of summer, I took a deep breath. The air, refreshed by the wind and snow, was a little chilly, but very fresh, carrying the unique fragrance of the mountains and rocks.
"What a clean village!" No wonder it's a place where cats live.
"Is it clean? Why don't you stay and not leave? You can stay in my room!" The cat, who had rushed over, sat in its mate's arms and called out in their direction.
Following the sound, Sheng Xia immediately saw Mao Luo, her face flushed and eyes alluring. She smiled knowingly.
"Thank you for your kind offer, but I still prefer our Yafatu." There's no place like home.
Besides, the comfort level of Yafatu is extremely high nowadays.
Hearing Shengxia's answer, Maolu was neither surprised nor disappointed. She had been secretly monitoring Shengxia with the beastmen and knew exactly how nice Yafatu's house was.
Even the Tiger Tribe next door started sleeping on heated brick beds, so it's no wonder they wouldn't even look at the Cat Tribe.
Thinking of this, Mao Luo's eyes lit up, and she looked at Sheng Xia expectantly: "Xia Xia, can you take me with you? I want to stay in Yafatu for a while."
Have a warm snow season~
Her partners are all Tier 3 warriors without superpowers, so they can't travel far during the cold and dangerous snow season. But it's different when she's with Xiaxia.
She knew that those males were all superhumans!
Upon hearing her words, Shengxia refused without hesitation: "No, I have other things to do and won't be going back to the tribe for the time being, so it's inconvenient for me to take you with me."
Without superpowers, it's very dangerous to go out during the snow season. We still need to go to other tribes to sell things, so bringing her along would be a burden.
"Alright then." Mao Luo's eyes dimmed instantly, but she didn't linger. She quickly put on a smile again: "Okay, you should go now. Mao Ning and the others are waiting for you."
"Okay, goodbye." Sheng Xia's almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile.
Then he lowered his head and whispered to Wolf King, "Let's go, let's find the main force and rejoin them."
"good."
The weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly.
When Shengxia and Langjun arrived at the meeting point, Yangyun's meal was already prepared and served. She ate quickly and then prepared to leave.
After the meal, the area was cleaned up, and the males, having finished their work, led Wolf Song and the others to Shengxia's side.
