Shengxia's eyes lit up: "You're back? Come quick, I saved some fish balls for you."
Wolf King thought he would be criticized for returning, since he only came back at lunchtime. In the tribe, it was customary to scold women for going hungry.
To my surprise, she didn't blame me. Instead, she looked delighted to see me return, as if she had been waiting for me for a long time.
It made Wolf King's heart flutter, and for the first time, he had a sense of home.
He carefully placed the ginseng on the bed.
With a bright smile, Shengxia deftly set up the pot, preparing to make fish ball soup for Wolf King.
She couldn't wait to let him taste her cooking, and didn't even have time to look at the ginseng.
The wolf king was a little confused about the situation. Was this wicked female cooking for him?
"What are you doing?"
"I'll make you fish ball soup. Today I went fishing with Orange, you know, the spiky monsters. I made fish balls, they're really delicious. Just wait a moment, they'll be ready soon."
Her voice was melodious and pleasant, and the whole beast was full of energy, showing an unprecedented kindness. Was this really that summer?
The fish ball soup was ready quickly, its aroma filling the air. Shengxia urged, "It's ready, don't just stand there like an idiot, come on, have a taste."
In the height of summer, she held a bowl with a smile, the white mist obscuring her face, making it seem as if something had indeed changed.
Wolf King chuckled and readily sat down, saying, "It smells delicious. You eat first, and I'll take the rest."
Shengxia said apologetically, "I've already eaten. I ate with Chengguo, and we also grilled fish. I'm so full. This was specially saved for you. Please eat it."
Looking at him with those bright, sparkling eyes, the Wolf King suddenly felt very good: "Okay."
The spiky meatballs are fresh, fragrant, slightly bouncy, smooth, and delicious. A sip of the soup is light, fresh, and leaves a lingering aftertaste.
Wolf King unknowingly finished the whole bowl of fish ball soup.
He licked his lips, the lingering fragrance making him want more; he never expected the spiky beast to taste so good.
Looking up, I met expectant eyes, eyes as bright as stars, filled with a desire for praise and compliments.
The wolf king, without any hesitation, affirmed, "It's delicious!"
"When did you learn to cook? I didn't know that."
The joy lasted only two seconds before she was completely bewildered. Shengxia continued to deceive Chengguo with the same excuse: "I like to think about things when I'm bored. Once I was starving, I caught a thorny beast and discovered that if I removed all the thorns, the beast would be fine after eating it."
Wolf King's heart tightened upon hearing this. What kind of life had she lived before? She was so hungry that she had to eat thorny beasts. She must have suffered a lot.
She said with pity, "With me here, you won't go hungry in the future."
Sheng Xia's face flushed red instantly. Even someone as composed as her couldn't resist such sweet words from a handsome man with an exceptional aura.
She lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Okay, thank you."
Wolf King was a little surprised: "You don't need to be so polite with me."
Suddenly remembering something, Sheng Xia grabbed Wolf King's arm and smiled slyly: "I know what my special ability is now. Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
In the beast world, males that are marked will never betray their partners for their entire lives; it's ingrained in their genes.
Shengxia trusted him completely, which was why she was so eager to mate when she first arrived.
In the blink of an eye, the two appeared beside the spatial spring.
Looking at the boundless space, Wolf King was filled with astonishment. This was... spatial ability? Unheard of!
If people find out, it might cause unrest.
Looking at Shengxia with a complicated expression, it seemed he needed to find her several strong male partners as soon as possible.
Shengxia looked over with her bright eyes and pointed to the spiritual spring water, saying, "My special ability is this space. This is spiritual spring water, which can heal injuries and illnesses. Even uninjured beasts can have their bodies purified and impurities removed by drinking a sip. It may also have the effect of prolonging life."
"Here, have a sip."
!!
Wolf King's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing. Could there be such a divine object in this world?
Does she trust herself that much?
The first time, he couldn't maintain his expression and stood there dumbfounded.
"What are you standing there for? Come on, have a sip and try it." The clear and pleasant voice pulled him back to reality.
He crouched down, picked a leaf from the side, quickly rolled it into a cup, scooped up a mouthful, and drank it.
Soon, dark brown stains appeared on the skin.
He felt incredibly relaxed and full of energy, with his limbs and bones feeling completely refreshed.
He looked at Sheng Xia with a solemn expression: "Don't let anyone know about this spiritual spring water!"
"There's still room for improvement. Don't let anyone know. Just tell outsiders that you've awakened your healing abilities."
The female was exceptionally docile: "Yes, yes, that's what I think too."
He hesitated before asking, "Then why did you tell me?"
“You’re one of us,” Sheng Xia said without hesitation.
The temperature difference between day and night in the Beast World is too great; the temperature drops sharply after sunset.
After a quick dinner, they prepared for bed. The wolf king naturally went over, took off his animal skin skirt, and got ready to work.
Sheng Xia's eyes widened in horror: "What, what are you doing?"
It's evening.
He was a little puzzled; she seemed somewhat resistant.
Then, as if realizing something, his expression darkened. Was he being rejected?
Her voice was slightly hoarse, tinged with a hint of grievance: "I will study hard, please don't dislike me."
!!
Sheng Xia was both amused and exasperated. What kind of grandiose statement was this? She couldn't handle it.
Is he that proud? Should we comfort and encourage him?
Her cheeks flushed red in the sweltering summer heat, and her toes dug awkwardly into the ground.
She hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I don't mind at all, you're great. I'm just too tired today and want to get some sleep."
She didn't explain the concept of marriage before love or a gradual process; there's a chasm between the modern world and the beast world!
Putting aside whether he can understand, the two are already partners, so it would be pretentious to refuse again.
Let's leave it at that for today; we can avoid it as long as we can. As for adapting to local customs? Sorry, she can't do that yet.
Wolf King plans to consult his friend tomorrow, as he has no experience in this area and should learn from him.
On the small wooden bed, Wolf King lay stiffly on the outer side, while Summer, dressed in a short dress, curled up in the corner.
She thought she would have a hard time falling asleep, but with him beside her, she felt exceptionally safe and fell asleep in no time.
Wolf King smiled slightly, looking at the sleeping Sheng Xia, and thought she was even more adorable.
In the dead of night, the sleeping Shengxia shivered with cold and rolled over in a daze.
Finally, she found a source of warmth and hugged it with both hands and feet. Feeling it wasn't warm enough, she snuggled closer and buried herself in Wolf King's arms.
The wolf king, still half asleep, saw the female in his arms and naturally pulled her into his embrace.
In the animal kingdom, males must unconditionally satisfy any request from females, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not.
Looking down, he saw that she was sleeping soundly with her brows relaxed. He chuckled softly; the night was chilly, and he was afraid she was freezing.
The females, who were fierce and aggressive during the day, became quiet and appeared exceptionally gentle at this moment.
So cute.
