Xi Xi was taken aback. She hadn't expected that Hua Niang would think of this, let alone that Hua Niang would specifically explain it.

She quickly waved her hands, "I...I didn't mean to blame you, no...I mean, I didn't mean to blame anyone! I...I just..."

Stuttering, she seemed like a petty person full of ulterior motives when faced with the sincere flower girl, completely at a loss for words.

Fortunately, Hua Niang waved her hand, not minding at all. With the help of Tao Ju, she slowly got up and regained her original lazy, elegant, and dignified demeanor. "It's getting late, you should rest!"

Xixi glanced at the sky; it was bright daylight, the perfect time for work.

Hmm, working at night and sleeping during the day, no wonder it's called the female cave!

After a day and a night of fussing, Xixi was exhausted and too lazy to tidy up. She simply laid out a soft animal hide, transformed into her animal form, and hid inside.

Despite being in an unfamiliar environment, Xixi slept exceptionally well this time, a far cry from the nightmares of the previous night!

When she woke up again, it was already night. Looking up at the sky, she felt an urge to go back to sleep.

But her rumbling stomach told her it was time to go out and find food!

Looking around, the house was exactly as it had been yesterday. Even the leftovers of wine and meat on the small stone table remained unchanged, indicating that no one had entered the house to disturb her while she was asleep.

She tidied herself up briefly before pushing open the door and going out.

Hua Niang was leaning against the third-floor corridor, looking down at the bustling scene below, her gaze calm and undisturbed.

Surrounding her were still the same four beastmen. Taoju busied himself serving tea and water, while the two from the Squirrel Tribe and the Fierce Rabbit Tribe massaged her shoulders and legs, making Hua Niang feel comfortable. Only Number 53 stood with his arms crossed, his eyes scanning everything around him warily, like a guardian.

This treatment...

Xixi subconsciously swallowed, but before she could express her feelings, she heard Hua Niang greet her with a smile, "Good morning!"

Good morning? Xixi looked up at the sky. Night had fallen, and only the last wisp of sunset lingered in the sky, stubbornly refusing to leave.

Is it still early?

This... is indeed very feminine!

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I asked Taoju to make you a little bit of everything, and they're all hot. Try them!"

As he spoke, Tao Ju walked over with three stone plates, looking resentful.

With one in each hand and another on top of its head, it walked steadily without spilling a drop of soup!

"Amazing!" Xixi praised from the bottom of her heart, almost clapping.

"Hmph!" Tao Ju snorted arrogantly, and a gust of wind blew by, dragging out the small stone table that had just been tidied up inside the house, and the three plates were already placed steadily.

This series of actions was so smooth and effortless that Xixi's mouth gaped slightly, and she subconsciously exclaimed, "Wow!"

"Hmm!" With her chin held high, she swayed her hips arrogantly, swung her arms, and strode back to Hua Niang's side, her eyes sparkling as she tried to win her favor.

Xi Xi thought that if he were to transform into a beast right now, he would probably be wagging his tail!

Even though it was in the bustling city, Hua Niang's place was a world apart, warm and harmonious, forming a stark contrast with everything around her.

Except... she still has no offspring and is not allowed to leave the female cave.

"I've already released the news, and the time is set for seven days from now. What do you think?"

Just as Xixi was lost in thought, Hua Niang suddenly spoke.

Xixi thought for a while before remembering the message the other party mentioned, which referred to her auctioning off her superior spiritual power.

"Did they also send a letter to the Shuoshu tribe?" she asked.

“Of course, the five tribes belonging to the War Alliance have always been our biggest benefactors!” Hua Niang was a little puzzled. After a moment, she tentatively asked, “Do you miss your family in the Shuo Shu tribe? Don’t worry, since you have superior spiritual power, you will definitely live better here than in the tribe! In fact, much, much better! I guarantee it! Your family will be at ease too.”

Xixi shook her head. "My mother passed away when I was four years old. After that, my three fathers and eight brothers passed away one after another. I have no family left."

Hua Niang: "..."

"Has there been any reply from the Shuoshu tribe?" Xixi asked again.

"Of course, to ensure the information is delivered accurately, we must wait for a reply from the other party; otherwise, we have to send another message!" In other words, if no reply is received, the message will keep being sent!

Xi Xi smiled, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes. "What was the content of their reply?"

Originally, this kind of information transmission was classified as confidential. Apart from the female cave operators, other females, as commodities, had no right to inquire about it.

But Xixi was an exception. Hua Niang took out a bag made from a monster's stomach, and from it took out a yellowed booklet, and handed it over, "Here, these are all original records. If you want to know anything, look at them yourself!"

Xi Xi flipped through a couple of pages and was instantly shocked. Although the text was in a beast-world script that she didn't recognize, she was surprised to find that she could clearly understand its meaning!

It was as if not through words, but through some kind of mental connection, that the moment the booklet was handed to her, all the information contained within it flooded into her mind.

In other words, she had already memorized the entire booklet by now, and could answer any question about any page instantly!

This book not only records the correspondence with various tribes over the years, but also the construction history of this public female cave, and even includes a kind of cultivation technique!

It explains what mental power is, the general methods of cultivating mental power, and how to use mental power.

Through this conversation, Xixi understood why Hua Niang treated her so differently!

Like combat power, mental strength can improve with continuous training, but it is extremely difficult to achieve leapfrog growth. Throughout history, very few people have been able to do so!

For females, mental strength is equivalent to combat strength for males; it is itself a powerful manifestation!

However, unlike physical combat which damages the body and results in death, mental combat damages the mind and turns the loser into an idiot!

Moreover, mental strength is far simpler and more brutal than combat power, making it impossible to challenge opponents of higher levels!

In other words, if Hua Niang, as a female with superior spiritual power, were to attempt to challenge herself using her spiritual power, it would be tantamount to courting death!

Perhaps, before she even had the intention to kill, or even before she could react, she had already suffered a backlash and turned into an idiot!

However, the booklet did not specify how to apply it, only saying that everyone has their own method, which can only be understood intuitively and cannot be explained in words.
