After being bound to the procreation system, the little female seduces everyone in the beast world.

The sky was clear and cloudless in the early morning, but suddenly darkened at noon. Dark clouds seemed to gather rapidly from all directions, pressing down on the sky in layers, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.

A slightly cool and damp scent began to permeate the air.

A distant rumble of thunder could be heard, as if some long-suppressed force was brewing in the shadows.

The surrounding trees rustled in the sudden wind, their branches swaying precariously as if they were about to be swept into the air at any moment.

Yan Shu sat at the door, tilting her head slightly to watch the changing sky, a strange unease rising in her heart.

The messenger said there would be thunder today.

She still doesn't understand what's so special about thunder, but she always feels that the weather really did change after the messenger finished speaking, which must be a sign of something.

"Where's Ah Hou?"

Ah Xu stood silently beside her, his gaze fixed on the sky gradually being swallowed by dark clouds. His usually lazy expression had become serious and profound.

He lowered his head slightly, as if he had something to say, but remained silent for a long time.

Noticing his silence, Yan Shu continued, "Where did Ah Hou go?"

He was silent for a moment, as if he had considered it, before whispering, "He said he's going to the back mountain to find some fruit for you to eat... He should be back soon."

Although he tried to speak calmly, Yan Shu could hear the underlying unease in his tone.

The wind intensified, accompanied by thunder, as if a torrential downpour could be imminent.

Yan Shu's unease intensified, and she frowned slightly. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Ah Xu's expression stiffened slightly, his gaze still fixed on the rolling dark clouds in the distance, and he did not answer immediately.

His hands slowly tightened at his sides, as if he were struggling with something internally. After a moment, he sighed softly, slowly turned around, and faced her.

His voice was deep and gentle, yet carried a hint of cautious reassurance: "Actually, it's just a small problem."

Yan Shu was stunned, staring intently at him: "Hmm?"

Ah Xu's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was hesitating, but he finally spoke up: "Ah Hou has been afraid of thunder since he was a child, especially on days like this with thunderstorms. Every time there is thunder, he has to find a place to hide."

"Just afraid of thunder?" Yan Shu raised an eyebrow, half believing and half doubting.

Ah Xu nodded, looking somewhat embarrassed but extremely serious: "Yes, he really is afraid of thunder. Otherwise, given Ah Hou's personality, as a wolf, he would usually be quite popular with females."

Seeing his serious expression, Yan Shu naturally believed what he said.

She suddenly realized what was going on.

From the very beginning, I was wondering why wolves weren't considered a power-type race.

It turned out to be the case.

"Did he hide, or did he really go to pick fruit?"

Ah Xu chuckled and nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips, his eyes sparkling with doting affection: "Don't worry, Ah Hou is hiding, but when he comes back, he'll definitely pick some fruit for you."

Yan Shu shook her head helplessly, but a trace of unease remained in her heart.

The messenger's words were veiled, and something about them always felt off to her.

She pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask, "But what did that messenger mean by thunder? Was she just trying to scare Ah Hou, or does she know Ah Hou?"

Ah Xu frowned, pondered for a moment, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes: "That's strange. I've never heard Ah Hou mention that he knows any females... But don't worry, she's an outsider, and Ah Hou definitely won't like her."

The last words were tinged with irony.

This time, Yan Shu didn't get angry at his irresponsible remarks. Instead, she sighed softly, "I'm not afraid that she has any relationship with Ah Hou. I just feel that there seems to be some hidden meaning in her words, as if she is reminding someone of something... or hinting at something."

Ah Xu's expression shifted slightly, and his eyes darkened. "You mean, she might know something we don't?"

“That’s the feeling,” Yan Shu said softly, her gaze falling on the rolling dark clouds in the distance. “Since she came as an envoy, she wouldn’t have mentioned thunder for no reason, and she would have been so certain about it.”

Ah Xu frowned, remained silent for a moment, and seemed to begin to seriously consider her speculation.

He said in a low voice, "If she really has something else in mind... then something might really happen during today's thunderstorm."

Just then, a deafening clap of thunder boomed in the distance, as if it were about to tear the sky apart. The dark clouds grew even lower and heavier, as if they were about to press down.

"I'm going to find Ah Hou."

Yan Shu said, "It will be faster if you go with A Ling."

Ah Xu refused without even thinking: "No, what if you get snatched away by that guy again? Besides, Ah Ling is already upset enough because of this, why don't you give him a chance to forgive himself?"

Yan Shu: "...Okay, okay."

But then Ah Xu's eyes lit up. "Why don't you come with me? You're bored at home, it's a good opportunity to go out and clear your head."

Yan Shu's heart stirred upon hearing A Xu's suggestion.

In her past life, she was confined to a hospital ward, facing only white walls and the cold light of medical equipment every day, with no chance to go out and walk freely.

Although she escaped the hospital in this life, her body remained weak, and she was also burdened by various trivial matters. In addition, she could always feel the gaze of the males in the tribe when she went out, and the thought of being sacked at any moment made her scalp tingle.

"Okay." She nodded gently.

Upon hearing this, Ah Xu's lips curled up slightly, his smile languid yet filled with deep affection.

He casually picked up a thick cloak, slowly approached, knelt down in front of her, and gracefully and calmly fastened the cloak for her with both hands.

He raised his head slightly, his red eyes like the deepest gems in the night, revealing a hint of teasing tenderness, his handsomeness almost blinding at close range.

Yan Shu was caught off guard by his sudden approach and his stunningly handsome face, and a blush involuntarily rose on her cheeks.

She slightly shifted her gaze, coughed lightly as if to cover it up, and said, "Thank you."

Ah Xu's smile deepened, and a subtle light flickered in his red eyes, as if he could see through her thoughts, with a hint of mockery but without exposing her true feelings.

He stood up, gently smoothing the collar of his cloak, his fingertips lightly brushing against her skin: "What do you need to say thank you for?"

Before Yan Shu could fully recover from A Xu's approach, she felt a slightly cool breath approaching from behind.

She turned her head slightly and saw Ah Ling standing quietly behind her, her gaze gentle and focused, holding a pair of thick leather boots in her hands.

"It was just made," Ah Ling said softly, with a touch of gentle seriousness. "If you wear it, you won't be cold on the road."

Just as Yan Shu was about to say something, A Ling knelt down and gently lifted her feet to put her boots on.

His fingers were long and slender, and his movements were steady and meticulous, as if he had entrusted all his care to these seemingly simple actions.

Yan Shu couldn't help but think to herself: Oh my, how embarrassing, how great, how fun!
