She spent the entire afternoon carefully recalling the scene of the old man leaving, and even now, as evening approached, she still couldn't figure out what he meant by baring his teeth like that!

Could it be that she didn't provide good service and made him uncomfortable?

But she didn't touch him at all!

Or perhaps, her emotional support wasn't thorough enough, leaving Mr. Fang unsatisfied?

But since it was the first time she had offered emotional support remotely, there were bound to be some imperfections. She had to be given a chance to try!

Besides, being able to dispel more than 80% of the black fog in one go is already quite good; it's much more effective than so-called mating!

Seriously, he was over forty years old, and before he died he didn't say a word, just grinned. What was he doing?

Hearing this, Fatty felt even more sorry for him, and his dissatisfaction with Old Man Fang intensified.

What the hell?

She just got married to Xixi, and after it was over, she didn't say a word, made any promises, or give any dowry. She just ran away like that?

Such behavior is a disgrace to masculinity!

After drinking the soup and eating some slices of meat, Xixi felt even hungrier. The insatiable hunger swept over her, and Xixi subconsciously took out a handful of crystals, preparing to stuff them into her mouth.

But as she took out the crystals, she suddenly remembered that she had thought Fatty Orange had turned into a beast, so even after finding Fatty Orange, she did not return the crystals to him, and even ate them in front of him many times.

But things are different now. Fat Orange is a living, breathing person, and she can no longer take his things without any burden on her heart!

So, she endured her hunger and, using the mattress as cover, slowly took out the crystal hidden in her space, put it back into her stomach pouch, and pushed it forward to Fatty Orange.

"Here! I couldn't resist sneaking some of what you left behind last time... But don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to get it back to you!"

"Give it back? Why give it back? This is my dowry. If you accept it, it means you've accepted me, and I'm your beast husband. You actually want to give it back? Is it because you're fickle and don't want me anymore now that you have the old weaver?" As she spoke, Fatty Orange's eyes reddened with grievance. "I know, I'm not as experienced as him, and I don't have as much prestige in the tribe. Even these handicrafts for attracting females, I'm not as good as him!"

"I can't make soup, I can't build a swing set, and I can't lay pebbles... Waaah... But I really love Xixi! I... I can keep watch for Xixi, I... I'll just hide at the foot of the bed and not make a sound, I just want to protect you quietly like this... Please, give me a chance to protect you! Don't send me away!"

Xi Xi stared in disbelief at his sudden reaction. She had thought he might pursue the matter of the crystal she had used, or he might generously wipe it away, but she never expected that he would cry, and cry so sadly.

Wait, what did he just say?

He said that these crystals were his dowry, and accepting the crystals meant accepting him, while rejecting the crystals meant rejecting him.

"So, you were already awake when you brought the crystal to the female cave that day?" Xixi suddenly exclaimed.

It's over, it's been discovered!

Fatty Orange's heart sank. He had been exposed today, and he had been thinking of finding an opportunity to say that he had just arrived at the lynx tribe and that he had only come to his senses after being provoked by the tribesmen. But he didn't expect that he would be exposed before he could even lie!

He was already awake, but deliberately appeared in beast form and led her on aimless wanderings through the forest, wasting a month of her time.

In Xixi's mind, was he just a scoundrel who only knew how to lie and deceive people?

He hung his head, all his strength gone, and knelt weakly by the bedside.

His lack of denial was tantamount to an admission!

Xixi immediately became excited, "So, my first attempt at emotional support was successful?"

"Did you wake up immediately, or only after you left my room?" she continued to ask, her excited expression a stark contrast to Fatty Orange's dejected state.

Fatty Orange was puzzled. He thought Xixi might be angry or sad, but why was she so excited? Could it be that she had been stimulated?

But she seemed perfectly normal, except for a slight excitement.

Although he was puzzled, he still honestly said, "I don't know when I woke up. It seems like I gradually regained consciousness. There wasn't a clear boundary in between. Anyway, when I fully regained consciousness, I was... I was snuggling in your arms... I... I felt very comfortable, so... I chose to continue!"

"Arching?" Xixi tilted her head back in thought. At the time, she simply treated the fat orange cat as a cat, hugging, stroking, or even rubbing it. She had no psychological burden and didn't remember exactly what happened. In short, it was very enjoyable.

However, Fat Orange's words still revealed important information: after mental reassurance, the recovery of consciousness is a gradual process, rather than an instantaneous one.

So, here's the question: when Fang Lao left today, did he regain consciousness? Was his baring of his teeth at her intentional, or just some kind of coincidence?

To be honest, this was the first time in all the years she had petted a cat that her cat had bared its teeth at her after she finished petting it!

I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out at all!

"Hey? Why are you sitting here looking so dejected?" Only now did Xixi notice the change in the person beside her. After thinking for a moment, she tentatively asked, "Is that blue-faced mammoth difficult to deal with? Did many of your people die? Hmm... are you injured?"

"Huh?" Fatty Orange was puzzled. How did the topic come back to this again? But a sweet feeling welled up in his heart.

His little female is worried about him; she's concerned for his safety! He's no longer a lonely male who goes out hunting with no one to care for him!

"No! No, it went very smoothly!" Fearing that Xixi would continue to worry, he quickly explained, "Although the Blue-faced Mammoth is tall and fierce, it is stupid. With a little trick, we were able to lure it away. Apart from injuring five or six tribesmen at the beginning, there were no casualties afterward. As for the injured ones, I have already sent them back in advance, and they should be receiving treatment at the shaman's place now."

Xixi nodded, then looked at the other person and asked again, "And you? Are you injured?"

"No, it's just... just a slight scrape when I rolled over!" He was ashamed to talk about this minor injury. Usually, when they calculate casualties, they mainly count scratches and bites from monsters, and don't include scrapes or falls.

But at this very moment, looking into the little female's gentle and concerned eyes, he wanted to speak.

But the moment the words left his mouth, he regretted them. Would saying this make the little female think that he was a pretentious, weak, and incapable young male?
