None of them had expected that Si Lu actually liked this silly boy so much.
But wasn't it obvious?
This little female had actually made such an intimate move. You have to know, she rarely ever did things like this with any male beastmen. Could it be… that she really liked him? Or at least had good feelings toward him?
Obsidian and Bai Di both fell into a quiet silence. The way they looked at Kano grew more complicated. Should they say it was just dumb luck?
The two of them silently tucked what they saw into the back of their minds. Meanwhile, the group had started playing cards. Kano was surprisingly sharp — after Si Lu explained the rules once, he got the hang of it right away, not making a single mistake. Si Lu was genuinely surprised. This boy, who usually seemed so goofy and innocent, was actually pretty smart in certain ways.
That said, after three rounds, he hadn't managed to beat Obsidian once. Lost all three. But he got the game now and looked genuinely delighted — the game was fun and pretty interesting to him.
Of course, Obsidian was still Obsidian—high IQ and high skill. Beating him was no easy task.
It was getting pretty late, and even Si Lu started to feel sleepy.
That's when Nans and the others returned.
Si Lu held out just a bit longer and had Bai Di escort her back to the cave to rest.
As for the guys outside — they just sat there staring at each other, wide-eyed.
When Cheng Mo and the rest got back, they saw Kano still here — and apparently with no intention of leaving either.
Naturally, they had gone out to hunt.
They'd also taken a stroll along the beach because they'd heard the little female mention something about a "seafood rain" and got curious. They figured they'd go check it out, since they hadn't been to the beach much since arriving.
Before this, they'd only really gone with the little female. They'd never been to the beach on their own, and even when hunting, they rarely went near the sea. Most of their time was spent in the forest's outer areas — or maybe just inside the edges.
After all, land creatures were easier to hunt.
Not to mention, they preferred eating land animals too.
Cheng Mo and the guys looked at Kano, who just sat silently by the fire.
They weren't dumb. Of course they could tell Kano was into the little female. The guy probably just didn't say it out loud because of his personality or something.
Cheng Mo didn't seem to mind though. The guy was undeniably strong — Cheng Mo had seen that firsthand. Adding another powerful beastman to their big family would actually be a win. Especially since Kano was obedient and well-behaved.
Just because Cheng Mo didn't object didn't mean everyone else felt the same — like Song Zhan and Bai Di, for example.
But Bai Di, at this point, had already taken Si Lu back to rest in the cave and clearly didn't care about whatever drama was going on outside.
Little Cheng Yu was curled up in Cheng Mo's arms, his bright little eyes darting from one person to the next.
"You all do whatever. I'm taking Cheng Yu to bed," Cheng Mo said, carrying the kid into the cave.
Of course, they went into a different room.
…
Right now, Bai Di was looking at Si Lu, his eyes full of affection.
His pale face was dusted pink—it was not clear whether it was from shyness or excitement.
Si Lu looked at how adorable Bai Di was and couldn't resist reaching out to pat his head. The next moment, two soft and fuzzy fox ears popped out of Bai Di's head!
Seeing those fluffy fox ears, she couldn't help but burst into laughter. Reaching out with both hands, she grabbed and rubbed them happily. "Waaah! So soft!" She hadn't touched Bai Di's ears in ages, and she missed them so much. They were just too cute!
Bai Di's entire face turned red — even his ears flushed. He squinted his eyes in pleasure, his little face looking completely content.
He really liked being close to the little female, especially when she did these affectionate things. It made him feel incredibly happy and cherished.
Si Lu kept playing with his ears, and he was over the moon — totally living for the moment.
Watching Bai Di enjoy it so much, Si Lu didn't feel like stopping either.
The next second, she saw two huge fluffy tails suddenly appear behind him, swaying left and right adorably. The fur on the tails was incredibly fluffy, like cotton candy. She felt her hands itching just looking at them.
Without thinking, she reached out and grabbed one of the big fluffy tails. The moment Bai Di felt his tail get grabbed, his eyes slowly opened and an unconscious, enchanting aura spilled out of him.
Those eyes — like galaxies and oceans — were incredibly seductive. Si Lu's heart skipped a beat. This guy really was a little devil.
No wonder people always say "foxy seductress." Turns out, it was true. Who could resist a fox spirit? Especially one like him — all innocent on the outside, but pure temptation underneath.
That extreme contrast… Si Lu was starting to feel like she couldn't resist anymore.
"Lulu~"
"Lulu~"
Bai Di called her name with deep emotion, eyes sparkling.
"Mhm," Si Lu looked at him gently.
She had already been thinking about giving Bai Di a whole litter of baby foxes anyway.
And now? Well~
It was happening! Hehe~
She already had a little tiger cub growing in her belly. Next up — Bai Di's fox cubs. She really wanted to test what the system had said about carrying two pregnancies at once. She was kind of excited, honestly. After all, giving birth once or twice — same pain, might as well do it all at once, right?
She'd already given birth before, so she had some experience now. She wasn't as scared or nervous as the first time.
"Lulu, I really, really like you." Bai Di's eyes were overflowing with love as he leaned down and nuzzled into her chest.
"You know? These past days, I missed you so much. Even though I saw you every day, I still missed you like crazy. I just wanted to be close to you, to cuddle with you. I love you so, so much~" Bai Di said as he snuggled up and spoke sincerely.
Sure enough, spoiled little babies get the most love. Si Lu looked at this clingy, soft Bai Di, and her heart melted into a puddle.
She hugged him gently and comforted him in a soft voice.
"I know. I know everything. I understand. You've been working so hard, Ah Di."
"It's not hard at all — not if it's for you, Lulu. I'm willing to do anything," Bai Di said, full of love, and then lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Si Lu looked at him with a sweet smile, released his tail, and wrapped her arms around him.
Getting Si Lu's response made Bai Di ecstatic. He deepened the kiss with even more emotion, like he was pouring out all the longing and love he'd bottled up these past days.
A long while later, Bai Di finally let her go. He buried his face into her neck, rubbing his cheek against her intimately.
