"Don’t worry, Sunxiao went with the tribe’s Hunting Team. The Hunting Team is full of powerful beastmen; he’ll be fine." Jin Ling noticed her worry and comforted her softly.

Qiao Xixi nodded. "Okay, let’s wait a little longer."

"Cubs, if you’re hungry, you can eat first." Qiao Xixi’s heart ached a little seeing the cubs staring so eagerly at the food on the table.

Qiao Lie opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Qiao Qiao shook her head and said, "Mother, we want to wait for Father Sunxiao to come back and eat with us."

Qiao Xixi smiled in satisfaction. The cubs were developing a stronger sense of family; they even knew to wait for Sunxiao to come home.

Gu Man watched the way Qiao Xixi interacted with the cubs and Jin Ling with some surprise. It was something she had never seen before.

She not only proactively helped with cooking and taking care of the cubs, but she also spoke to her mate in such a soft and gentle voice, as if he were her most cherished treasure.

Gu Man found it baffling. Females could have many mates and enjoyed absolute privileges. There were many things they didn’t have to do themselves. In fact, if necessary, they shouldn’t be too good to their mates, lest the men forget their place.

So much about Qiao Xixi overturned Gu Man’s previous understanding of the world.

Seeing Jin Ling go off to handle other things, she went over to Qiao Xixi, tugged on her hand, and whispered, "Qiao Xixi, why are you so good to your mates? Aren’t you afraid they’ll become disobedient?"

Qiao Xixi was taken aback for a moment but quickly understood and explained patiently.

"Because they are the mates who will spend the rest of my life with me. Of course I have to cherish them. If you’re afraid of them being disobedient, you might as well just get beast slaves. What’s the point of having mates?"

Gu Man found she couldn’t refute that. It actually seemed to make some sense.

Gu Man had five mates. It wasn’t that she was particularly harsh with them, but she certainly wasn’t like Qiao Xixi.

However, she did personally attend to many of Tata’s needs, because Tata was her only cub right now.

A familiar set of footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard. Before Qiao Xixi could even get up, Qiao Lie was already pattering over on his short little legs to open the gate.

The moment the gate opened, his red eyes lit up. A wide smile spread across even Qiao Lie’s usually stoic face.

"Father, you’re back!"

Seeing his happy cub, the coldness in Sunxiao’s brow gradually dissipated. In the past, he had never imagined he would live such a stable life.

’A little female he liked, and a cub who loved to follow him around like a little tail. This feeling... it was truly wonderful.’

"You’re finally back! If you hadn’t returned soon, Jin Ling was about to go looking for you."

Sunxiao’s return finally allowed Qiao Xixi to breathe a sigh of relief.

Sunxiao’s red eyes softened as he looked at Qiao Xixi. As she approached, he spoke in a low voice, "Don’t come too close. The smell of blood from the beast is strong. I’ll take it to the backyard first."

"Okay. Just wash up quickly and come eat."

"Alright."

When Sunxiao’s snake-like eyes swept over Gu Man, she felt a chill run down her spine.

’What the hell? That’s not how he looked at Qiao Xixi just a moment ago. Does he have to be so obvious?’

In the backyard, Jin Ling had already drawn water for Sunxiao to wash up.

"Did you run into trouble?"

Sunxiao’s expression didn’t change; he simply nodded.

But Jin Ling, having been around him for some time, knew something was up. If there were no issues, he would have said so directly. But with Qiao Xixi and the others still around, it wasn’t convenient to talk.

"Let’s eat first."

The two of them sat down at the dinner table.

"I’m curious to see just how good this food is."

Gu Man had a straightforward personality, so she dug in without hesitation.

When she took a bite of the red-fruit-stewed meat, her eyes widened in astonishment.

"This is better than roasted meat! It’s delicious!"

After that, Gu Man was too busy eating to talk. Even the usually shy Bu Xi couldn’t stop, to say nothing of Tata. The family of three looked as if they wanted to swallow their stone bowls whole.

Qiao Ang and the others had been playing in the water for a while and were also starving. Everyone buried their heads in their food until every last dish was wiped clean. Only then did Gu Man reluctantly put down her chopsticks.

"Xixi, I, Gu Man, swear to the Beast God, from now on, we are the best of friends!"

Qiao Xixi’s eye twitched. ’Isn’t she being a bit hasty in declaring us best friends?’

Gu Man grinned at her. "Can I come over for dinner again in the future?"

"Why don’t I just teach you how to make these dishes? Then you can eat them every day."

Gu Man’s eyes lit up. "Are you really willing to teach me?"

Qiao Xixi nodded. It wasn’t some unspeakable secret recipe; she had no intention of hiding it.

"Ah, Qiao Xixi, I suddenly feel like that stinky snake Sunxiao doesn’t deserve you!" Gu Man threw her arms around Qiao Xixi, looking like she wanted to plant a big kiss on her cheeks.

Sunxiao’s face turned to ice. He pulled Gu Man away in disgust.

"Stay away from Xixi."

Gu Man pouted. Now, no matter how she looked at Sunxiao, he was an eyesore. ’I must have eaten a poisonous fruit before to have had the crazy thought of wanting Sunxiao as my mate.’

As night fell, Gu Man’s other mates came to pick her up.

Gu Man reluctantly left, holding Tata. Of course, someone was even more reluctant to leave than she was—Tata. As he was leaving, he practically wanted to attach himself to Qiao Ang like a permanent accessory, refusing to go no matter what. It was only after Gu Man promised to bring him back again that she managed to coax him into calming down.

After everything was tidied up for the night, Qiao Xixi followed Sunxiao into his stone house.

Sunxiao knew she was there, but he stopped at the doorway and turned to look at her.

Qiao Xixi hadn’t expected him to stop so suddenly and bumped right into his chest.

Sunxiao reached out to steady her, lowering his head until his lips nearly brushed against her earlobe. His warm breath tickled her, and Qiao Xixi instinctively shrank her neck.

"What, you didn’t get enough last night?"

Qiao Xixi’s face flushed. She gave his waist a pinch but was surprised to find not an ounce of excess fat.

’Hiss... well, might as well get a good feel while I’m at it. He’s mine, after all.’

His red eyes instantly darkened, becoming unreadable.

Sunxiao exhaled softly, grasping her hand and pushing it away. "Be good. I’ll let you off the hook tonight."

But Qiao Xixi persisted. She pushed him into the stone house, shut the door behind them, and without another word, her hand went to the sash at his waist. With a gentle tug, the beast-hide robe on his upper body would fall away.

However, Sunxiao caught her hand again, pulling her in for a deep kiss.

Qiao Xixi’s azure eyes gradually grew hazy. She wrapped her arms around Sunxiao, gently pushing him onto the bed. Even so, Sunxiao showed no intention of letting her go. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Catching him off guard, Qiao Xixi gave a light tug. The sash loosened, and her soft, gentle hand slipped against his cool skin.

A low groan escaped Sunxiao’s throat.

Qiao Xixi gently cupped his face and kissed his eyelids.

Sunxiao slowly closed his eyes.

Just as he was waiting for her next move, Qiao Xixi went still.
