As soon as Yan Shu stepped out the door, before she could even steady herself, she was swept up in a pair of warm arms.

She gasped and looked up to see Ah Ling's worried eyes.

Ah Ling, who is usually quiet and reserved, was surprisingly proactive.

"Ah Ling, you—"

She was somewhat surprised and wanted to ask for clarification, but he interrupted her.

"You're not wearing shoes or a coat; you'll easily catch a cold."

Ah Ling's voice was deep and gentle, filled with undisguised concern.

He held Yan Shu in his arms, as if afraid that she would catch even the slightest cold, and wanted to carry her back to the room.

Ah Ling had just carried her to the door, seemingly about to take her back to her room. Yan Shu gently shook her head, stopping him.

"Ah Ling, wait." She caught the sound coming from outside and frowned slightly. "Take me out to see what's going on."

Ah Ling hesitated for a moment, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, but she still nodded obediently and carried her out steadily.

As soon as Yan Shu stepped out of the door, she saw the scene in the courtyard.

Ah Hou was kneeling in the courtyard, shirtless, wearing only a pair of shorts, with a huge stone on his shoulder, his expression revealing deep regret and self-blame.

Ah Xu stood to the side, arms crossed, coldly looking at Ah Hou, his tone stern: "I told you to watch your step, but you've ruined Shu Shu's body like this. Do you even know what you've done?"

When Ah Hou heard Yan Shu's footsteps, he suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with excitement and joy for a moment, but this emotion was quickly overwhelmed by deep self-blame and guilt.

He stood frozen in place, his hands clenched into fists, veins bulging, as if he was trying his best to suppress the urge to stand up.

"Womanly……"

His voice was low and hoarse, filled with unease and regret, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, each word a struggle to utter.

He wanted to rush over, to hold her tight, to make sure she was safe, but the weight on his shoulders and the guilt in his heart prevented him from moving.

But he still lowered his head, the stray hairs on his forehead obscuring the moisture in his eyes, his voice trembling slightly: "I'm sorry, I... I shouldn't have hurt you."

Yan Shu looked at the scene before her, her lips twitching.

Ah Hou's disheveled and remorseful appearance lessened her anger somewhat, but she knew he needed to remember this lesson.

She had barely opened her mouth when her tone carried a hint of reproach: "Ah-hou, do you even know—"

Before she could finish speaking, Ah Xu stepped forward and handed her a long whip, his eyes cold: "Shu Shu, use this to teach him a lesson. He needs to remember what restraint is."

Yan Shu looked at the long whip in her hand. The whip was black and gleamed with a cold light. It was wrapped with fine silver patterns and shimmered with a sinister luster in the sunlight, as if it carried a silent threat.

The whip felt cold and hard to the touch, and holding it gave her an indescribable chill.

Yan Shu: "..."

"Ah-hoo, this is all you deserve!" Ah-xu commanded.

Ah Hou nodded pitifully like a little puppy, without the slightest refusal.

She quickly shoved the whip back into Ah Xu's hand, saying, "I... I don't have the strength to crack this whip."

A-Xu guessed she wouldn't do that, sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "Shu-Shu, you're too soft-hearted."

"He wasn't carrying a stone, so this can be considered a form of punishment for him."

Ah Hou knelt on the ground, his gaze never leaving Yan Shu.

His eyes flickered with complex emotions, a mixture of regret, self-blame, and deep unease.

Seeing that Yan Shu did not punish him, but instead tried to protect him, his throat tightened and his eyes welled up with tears.

"Shushu, I really know I was wrong."

Ah Hou spoke hoarsely, his voice trembling with deep regret, "I couldn't control myself and hurt you... Please give me another chance. I'm willing to accept any punishment, just please don't be disappointed in me."

Yan Shu stared speechlessly at the scene before her, unsure how to respond.

She originally just wanted to give Ah Hou a small warning so that he would remember the lesson and not act so recklessly again.

But now the scene has become unusually solemn and serious.

She coughed lightly, trying to ease the awkwardness: "Ah, I'm not disappointed, but please don't do that again... I just want you to remember to be more restrained next time. Okay, let's leave it at that, there's no need to blame yourself anymore."

Ah Hou looked up, deeply moved by her.

I never expected that Shushu wouldn't punish me for doing something wrong.

Thinking of the other males in the tribe, being driven away for doing something wrong was considered lenient.

His eyes were still glistening with tears, and his voice trembled but was firm: "Shushu, I swear I will never let you suffer any more grievances in the future."

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Yan Shu was having a headache.

She patted Ah Ling, "Go inside."

Wearing only underwear and holding up a stone, what kind of talk is that?

Ah Ling obediently picked up Yan Shu, carefully held her in her arms, and walked steadily toward the room.

Behind him, Ah Hou remained kneeling in place, his eyes filled with both guilt and determination.

A-Xu stood to the side, his gaze sweeping coldly over A-Hou, and he snorted, "You're lucky this time, Shu-Shu was soft-hearted. If there's a next time, I won't let you off so easily."

Ah Hou nodded and replied in a hoarse voice, "Understood."

Inside the room, Yan Shu was carefully placed on the bed by A Ling.

She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that these three men always made things so serious, it was really giving her a headache.

Ah Ling sat beside her, her eyes filled with a gentle light: "My lady, are you alright?"

"fine……"

As soon as Yan Shu finished speaking, A Xu brought A Hou in.

Unexpectedly, Ah Hou actually knelt down at the door with a stone in his hand.

Yan Shu: "..."

She let him in without being punished, so why did he bring the stone along?

Ah Xu came to her side and hugged her tenderly, saying, "Shu Shu, I should have known better than to let him mate with you."

Yan Shu doesn't regret what she did.

Ah-hou's physique is pretty good, and his performance in bed is quite impressive.

Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed.

Yan Shu quickly turned her head away, not wanting A Xu to see the blush on her face.

But Ah Xu still saw it. He thought of something, grabbed her chin and turned her to face him. Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door.

The man didn't wait for them to open the door; he opened it himself and walked in.

The person who entered was stunned the moment the door was pushed open.

He saw the scene before him—

Ah Hou, shirtless, knelt on the ground with a large rock in his arms.

Yan Shu sat in the center, with A Xu and A Ling on her left and right. A Xu's hand was gently pinching her chin, and he had a half-smile on his face, as if he was about to lean down and kiss her.

The air froze instantly. The newcomer's gaze swept around the room, and when he saw Yan Shu, his cheeks flushed: "Did I come at the wrong time?"
