The next morning
After a night's rest, the beastmen were full of energy again, tidying up their things in the cave and then quietly cooking.
Everyone had a clear division of labor and remained calm and composed.
The great shaman, mindful of the sleeping vines in the vine-covered house, moved with extreme gentleness.
If a male makes a sound, it immediately draws the attention of the warriors nearby.
In the height of summer, eager to continue his journey, he woke up not long afterward.
She stretched with a soft moan, opened her dazed eyes, and asked softly, "Is it dawn yet?"
She's already overslept a few times; she can't let herself sleep in any longer and delay everyone's schedule.
"It's just dawn, Xiaxia, sleep a little longer."
Tie Bai sat on the edge of the bed, his light pink eyes looking lovingly at the lovely female on the bed, his voice clear and pure.
Hearing her partner's voice, Sheng Xia coquettishly raised her head, reached out and hugged his strong arm, nuzzled affectionately, and said sweetly,
"I'm not sleeping anymore, I'm getting up now!"
We don't know how far we are from that brown bear's territory, so it's safer to get going sooner.
Her cheeks were slightly damp. Shengxia froze for a moment, then her memory suddenly returned: last night she dreamed of eating chicken legs...
Will you stop drooling?
She nervously raised her hand to touch the corner of her mouth, only to find it smooth and without a trace of moisture.
"Sister Xiaxia's skin is so nice~", the clever Fox Snow saw her action and immediately praised her sweetly with sparkling eyes.
She mustn't know that she was licking Wolf King's hand last night and drooling a lot.
She's shy and easily embarrassed.
"Xiaxia is the most beautiful woman in the entire beast world!"
Once a male started, the other animals suddenly realized what was going on, and they started praising him with smiles.
Sheng Xia's eyelashes trembled slightly, her mouth agape from the praise. She bit her lower lip, a faint blush rising to her fair cheeks.
Tie Bai, who was standing next to her, stared at her face for a moment, then quickly recovered and put on a warm smile.
Using her hands as a comb, she tied her long, snow-white hair into a high ponytail, and then helped Shengxia straighten her hair.
The other males also quickly got to work.
Soon, Shengxia sat at the dining table, where a wide variety of food was laid out.
"Xia, are you hungry? Try this." Jiao Su pushed the steamed egg custard over and placed the spoon down.
Sheng Xia's eyes lit up, her stomach rumbled, and her body was instantly dominated by hunger.
"It smells so good!"
She picked up the spoon, squinted her eyes, and began to eat heartily.
Fortunately, Jiao Su thoughtfully asked Yang Yun to lower the temperature to a level where it was safe to eat, and the bowl was quickly finished.
The steamed egg custard was smooth, fragrant, and melted in her mouth, making even the sweltering summer feel pleasant. She squinted her eyes and smacked her lips.
"It's so delicious!"
She could have five more bowls... no, ten more.
Suddenly, a piece of cleaned fish appeared in the bowl. Sheng Xia's eyes lit up, and she picked it up with her chopsticks.
"Sister Xiaxia, eat quickly, I have something good for you after you finish eating..." Hu Xue suddenly thought of something and said, lifting her eyelids slightly.
In the height of summer, his movements froze.
You can't eat the food the fox caught, right?
Shengxia lowered her head, hesitant, unsure how to speak without being too blunt and hurting the beast's feelings.
"Haha, Xiaxia, you don't actually think the meat is from Fox Snow, do you? Don't worry, it's from Sheep Cloud."
Aoki was so amused that he bent over laughing, and as he laughed, he slapped his thighs mercilessly with his large hands.
After saying that, he looked at Yang Yun, whose face was red with embarrassment, and complained, "Little sheep, are you stupid? You didn't even say a word when you put food on Xia Xia's plate."
Xiaxia is so scared that she doesn't dare to lift her head.
Yang Yun's thin lips moved slightly, she glared at Qingmu, and her ears turned red.
Jiao Su, standing beside him, expressionlessly removed the rough, large hand from his leg and said in a flat tone,
"Aoki, you took a picture of me."
Shengxia sensed a hint of helplessness in Jiaosu's calm tone, her almond-shaped eyes crinkling as she leaned against the Wolf King's shoulder, laughing uncontrollably.
His shoulders were shrugging...
After breakfast, Maoning pushed aside the huge rock at the entrance of the cave, and the cave was brightly lit, with a cold wind blowing in, carrying the morning's moisture.
"That feels so good!" The warriors were invigorated.
"Haha, who would have thought we'd travel this far to buy food during the snowy season?"
"Before, I didn't even have enough to eat. Going out meant certain death."
"Fortunately, our tribe has the Xia shaman!"
"Yes, we must protect her well!"
"Of course..."
Everyone was in a good mood as they cleaned the cave, removing any signs of habitation, and gathered at the cave entrance after confirming that there were no problems.
Mao Ning glanced at the little female on the back of the fiery red fox, and seeing that everyone was ready, raised his hand and gestured to continue, "Let's go."
They all transformed into beast forms and embarked on their journey.
After crossing several mountains and six ridges, two days had passed, and the tribe on the map was getting closer and closer.
In the height of summer, gazing at the vast expanse of white mountains and forests in the distance, she felt a bit visually fatigued and lowered her eyes to look at her feet.
The golden lion cub was no longer jumping around; it had become much more composed. The silver wolf cub ran forward with steady steps, its eyes warily scanning its surroundings.
Noticing the gaze, the little lion looked up in surprise and said, "Mom's awake?"
At the same time, the team stopped.
"Mom, there's a big cow over there!" A sheep in the sky spotted a large black cow eating snow in the distance and flew down excitedly to tell Shengxia.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xia's eyes lit up, and she curiously looked in the direction Yang Yuan was pointing.
A giant cow is leisurely eating... snow?
"Really, it's a huge cow!" Sheng Xia exclaimed in surprise.
Can we finally have a fresh meal today?
Thinking of beef hot pot, Shengxia swallowed hard.
Suddenly, a bone knife, accompanied by a sharp gust of wind, flew in and precisely sliced into the huge bull's eye, splattering blood everywhere.
The cow didn't die, but it was frightened.
"Moo—!!!" A pitiful scream rang out.
Shengxia gasped for breath, clutching the red-haired creature beside her legs, and stared wide-eyed ahead.
The knife pierced the cow's head, and the head fell out from behind, drawing out bright red blood. It made a crisp "clinking" sound when it hit the stone.
The north wind howled past, and the smell of blood spread everywhere.
Wolf King and the others instantly transformed into human form, surrounding Shengxia in the center. The three little ones also imitated their fathers, standing around their mother and looking ahead in a defensive posture.
The fur on its neck tightened, and a hint of worry flashed in the bright red fox's eyes. It turned and nuzzled against Shengxia.
"Don't be afraid, they are orcs from the tribe on the map."
"Hmm, I'm not afraid." Shengxia blinked her bright almond-shaped eyes, rubbed the fluffy fox head, and breathed a sigh of relief.
