Sheng Xia lowered her eyes and peeked back. Seeing that they were all in good condition, she felt relieved.
Looking at the babies' lively and adorable appearance, I find them extremely endearing.
Her gaze softened, a smile curved her lips, and she pulled the closest babies into her arms, answering softly.
"There's been a slight mishap, you'll have to stay here a little longer." I wonder if the green dragon has left yet.
In such a short time, they are most likely still in the same place, but Shengxia doesn't want to wait any longer. She wonders how Wolf King and the others are doing.
Wolf King sneezed, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood in the blue bubble with Aoki and the others, looking thoughtfully at the deep water area in front of them.
Xiaxia once said that sneezing means a beast suddenly misses you.
Did Xiaxia think of him?
I wonder where his poor Xiaxia went, whether she was hurt, and she must be very scared.
It's all his fault. He was a beat too slow to react and didn't notice something was wrong in time. A hint of self-reproach mingled with the gentleness in Wolf King's eyes.
Jiao Su's golden eyes flashed with annoyance and anxiety. He silently manipulated the bubbles, slowly diving deeper into the scent of midsummer.
It's all his fault; he didn't protect Xiaxia properly.
The other males also looked serious, intently surveying their surroundings, secretly regretting that they hadn't protected their mates.
They all blamed themselves, without taking their anger out on the other beasts, and no one shirked responsibility. They all tacitly agreed that it was their negligence that caused the summer to be swept away.
At this very moment, in this space.
The little ones squatted quietly at Shengxia's feet, their little heads tilted slightly, looking both concerned and curious.
As Sheng Xia looked at it, she felt a wave of tenderness wash over her. Her almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile, and she spoke in a gentle voice.
"Be good, my little ones, Mommy's going out for a bit."
Hearing their mother's words, the innocent children warmly replied, "Okay, Mom, go ahead and do your work. Don't worry about us."
Shengxia patted Langge's head, and with a thought, appeared on the other side of the space in the blink of an eye.
She turned to look in the direction where the babies were, composed herself, and prepared to go out and check the situation.
The next second, they appeared in the bushes outside the space.
As soon as she stepped outside, the lush green leaves rushed over, and Shengxia frowned slightly, raising her hand to block the abundant foliage.
For some reason, the bushes here are eerily lush, covering everything and completely enclosing me.
Suddenly, she met a pair of unrestrained green eyes, and a bewitching face was revealed through the gaps in the leaves. Sheng Xia stared wide-eyed in horror, instantly breaking out in a cold sweat.
It's that green dragon!
Fortunately, he didn't come in. He looked over here with a panicked expression and said in a hurried tone.
"I don't care what special abilities you have, you can't stay in this place, get out now!"
A hint of doubt flashed in Shengxia's almond-shaped eyes.
Does she look that stupid?
For some reason, the male green dragon was clearly wary of the dense thicket at her feet.
She lowered her eyes in confusion, subtly glancing at herself out of the corner of her eye, but found nothing amiss.
Aside from the leaves scratching her cheeks and arms a bit, she didn't feel any discomfort.
Seeing that Shengxia wouldn't listen to reason, Jiaohe frowned and puffed out his cheeks, wanting to say something, but he couldn't bring himself to say anything unpleasant to a female.
He opened his mouth but didn't say a word. He snorted and turned his head away, glancing at Sheng Xia from time to time out of the corner of his eye, watching her reaction.
It turned out she didn't react at all...
Jiaohe was dumbfounded.
Why isn't she reacting at all?
Does this land favor females and only target males?
Thinking back to his childhood curiosity and stubbornness, which led to countless beatings here, Jiaohe could still clearly recall the pain of those beatings, and he shrugged in pain.
Seeing the Jiaohe River outside the leaves tremble, Sheng Xia's heart skipped a beat, and she kept a tense expression and a wary look in her eyes.
She instinctively gripped the branch tightly, and in her nervousness, she didn't notice a small thorn pricking her palm, drawing some blood onto the leaves.
The leaf suddenly trembled, opened its mouth wide from the middle, and with a "whoosh," exhaled a puff of pink smoke.
Suddenly hearing other sounds, Sheng Xia keenly sensed that something was different. Before she could think about it further, drowsiness overwhelmed her.
Her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and then she closed her eyes tightly and lost consciousness. Just as she fell backward, she was gently lifted up by the surrounding leaves.
The lush green leaves rustled and quickly formed the shape of a bed, and in the height of summer, she lay on it with her eyes closed.
A leaf covered her belly, right at her navel.
As for Jiaohe, he lost consciousness the moment the powdery smoke was emitted, and with a dull thud, he fell into freefall.
In contrast to Jiaohe's coma, Shengxia slept soundly and even had a strange dream.
After arriving in the Beast World, the summer, with its reversed day and night, rarely dreamed, and whenever it did, it was always when it wasn't doing any physical labor.
My dreams are mostly about my partner...
This time, Shengxia entered a mysterious state, and she clearly knew that she was dreaming.
She looked around and found herself in a vast grassland, where the wind rustled the grass up to her waist.
Looking into the distance, the green grass surged and undulated like waves, and apart from the quietness, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
She looked up at the sky with curiosity, and saw a full moon hanging high in the sky. Only then did Shengxia realize that it was nighttime.
When I looked down again, the surroundings suddenly darkened, and it really looked like night.
As summer approached, she looked up and saw a hazy mist in the distance, making it difficult to see clearly in the night. She murmured to herself.
"What an amazing place! Where is this?"
She felt that there had never been a moment when her mind was so clear, her senses were sharp, and she could hear the subtle sounds around her.
It's strange; even though I know I'm dreaming, I have a feeling of being grounded and standing in a real environment.
rustling... rustling...
The wind rustled through the grass, a subtle sound mixed in with the swaying of the green grass, which was keenly captured by the height of summer.
Something is rapidly approaching from the dense grass.
"hiss---"
In the sweltering summer heat, I gasped for breath, my heart leaping into my throat.
The next second, her bottom felt a heat, and her gaze suddenly rose higher; Shengxia didn't know how she ended up sitting on a sheep.
Without a second thought, she bent down and grabbed the sharp horns of a snow-white sheep as it lurched along, carrying her nimbly across the lush grassland.
Soon, they ran out of the boundless grassland, waded through a swamp, crossed a stream, and entered a stone forest.
The rocks there are bizarre and twisted in an artistic way, as if they had been ravaged by mudslides and strong winds.
Suddenly, Sheng Xia felt a chill run down her spine as a strong sense of crisis washed over her. The stone in front of her began to move.
The golden totem pattern slowly emerged as the stone moved, the flowing gold gradually spreading and exuding a murderous aura.
Sheng Xia stared wide-eyed in horror. She tried to back away, but it was as if she had been frozen in place, unable to move at all. She didn't even realize when the swift sheep under her had run away.
