In the evening, Tianwu returned dragging a two-meter-long fish.

Niannian: "This fish is so big! Its skin is a beautiful dark blue. It would look amazing if it were made into a dress."

Tianwu: "If Niannian likes it, how about I make you a new dress out of fish skin?"

Lu Yao heard the two talking at the cave entrance, so she went out.

The fish was shaped like an ox, with a snake-like tail and wings that grew from its ribs.

Lu Yao: "Is this a fish?"

Tianwu: "It's called a chub, and it lives on hills."

Although the loach was badly injured, it did not die and made a mooing sound like a cow.

Lu Yao: "Weren't you going to fish in the river? Why did you go to the hills instead?"

Tianwu: "I heard halfway through that there was a magical herb appearing on the mountain where the luyu was, so I went to check it out. Sure enough, I found a magical herb full of energy in the cave where the luyu was."

Lu Yao: "Did you bring it back?"

Tianwu: "I sensed that the spiritual energy fluctuations at the roots of that immortal herb were stronger, so I wanted to take you there to take a look. I was afraid I might accidentally dig it up and damage it."

Lu Yao: "Aren't you afraid someone will dig it up?"

Tianwu: "No, I set up a barrier around the cave. I also flooded the cave with water. Even a powerful god like Xiangliu would have a hard time finding it."

Xiang Liu: "Then I'll go with you tomorrow."

Lu Yao: "Is it safe for Granny Wu and Niannian to stay in the cave?"

Tianwu: "I will add a barrier around the cave, along with Xiangliu's poisonous swamp, so ordinary people can't get in. Besides, the journey isn't far, and we'll be back soon."

"But did something happen today? I've noticed a lot of unfamiliar presences in the Misty Forest."

Xiang Liu: "Someone broke into the Misty Forest today, and they're after Yao Yao."

Tianwu: "Yaoyao has been hidden in the Misty Forest by us and has never had any contact with the outside world. What do you want with Yaoyao?"

Xiang Liu: "That fake goddess spread rumors that Yao Yao is a demoness who will bring disaster to the beastman continent. So some busybodies came in to investigate."

Tianwu: "After the cold season, come back to Chaoyang Valley with me. There are plenty of resources there, so we won't have any problems with our livelihood. It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, so we don't have to worry about being attacked."

Lu Yao: "The environment there is so nice, don't any beastmen live there?"

Tianwu: "There are indeed orcs living there, but they all believe in me, so they can all be your helpers and protect you."

Xiang Liu: "If that's the case, we can indeed migrate there. You can use that as a starting point to gain more recognition that you are the Goddess, so that you can fight against Liu Lele."

Lu Yao: "But I don't want to be some kind of goddess, I just want to live a quiet life."

Tianwu: "Liu Lele won't let you have your way. If you stay silent, she will bully you even more."

Xiang Liu: "Don't worry, with the two of us by your side, we won't let any other males get close to you."

Tianwu: "That's right, the two of us are strong enough, you don't need to accept any more beastmen."

Tianwu rarely has the opportunity to get close to Lu Yao. If other male beastmen join in, the time he can spend with Lu Yao will be even less.

Just kidding, once Lu Yao reveals her identity as the Goddess, there's absolutely no way she'll be allowed to have any contact with other males.

Xiang Liu: "I'll go and prepare the loach. We'll have barbecue tonight."

Tianwu is finally back, and he really wants to spend some time alone with Lu Yao.

Tianwu: "Let's go to my stone chamber and rest for a while. I miss you so much. Don't worry, I won't do anything, I just want to hug you."

Lu Yao blushed as Tian Wu pulled her into his stone chamber.

Tianwu lay down with Lu Yao in his arms, inhaling the unique fragrance emanating from her body.

Tianwu gently kissed Lu Yao, and seeing that Lu Yao did not refuse, he deepened the kiss.

When Lu Yao's breathing became disordered, Tian Wu, fearing he would lose control, quickly got up and left the stone chamber.

Niannian: "Lord Tianwu, why is your face so red?"

Tianwu: "It's too hot inside the stone chamber."

Niannian: "Really? I think the stone room where my mother-in-law and I live is very cold!"

Tianwu: "If Niannian is cold, shall I find you a piece of animal skin to put on the bed?"

Upon hearing Niannian's words, Lu Yao took out two pieces of animal hide from her spatial storage, walked out of the stone chamber, and handed them to Tianwu.

Lu Yao: "Go and take it to the stone chamber where Niannian lives."

Niannian: "Thank you, Goddess and Lord Tianwu."

Tianwu: "Niannian has such a sweet tongue, I really want to have a cute little female like you."

Niannian: "The Goddess will grant your wish."

Tianwu looked at Lu Yao and asked cautiously, "Is it alright?"

Lu Yao nodded shyly.

Tianwu happily took Niannian to the stone chamber to lay out animal hides.

Note: The name "鯥鱼" comes from the *Classic of Mountains and Seas*: "There is a fish that resembles an ox, dwells on hills, has a snake's tail, and wings. Its feathers are under its fins. Its sound is like that of a cow. Its name is 鯥. It dies in winter and is reborn in summer. Eating it prevents swelling and disease."
