"Why don't you let me go?"

She Mo held Chu Xinyao tightly, his heart filled with reluctance, as if if he let go, she would disappear from his world.

His voice was low and unease: "But you haven't said you forgive me yet."

Chu Xinyao was furious, but her tone softened. "If I don't forgive you, will you leave?"

"No, unless you say you'll forgive me." Although he noticed the change in Chu Xinyao's tone, She Mo still didn't let go.

Chu Xinyao sighed, knowing she couldn't easily escape She Mo's entanglement, her voice filled with helplessness: "Alright, whether you forgive me or not, we'll see how you behave in the future!"

A hint of joy appeared on Shemo's face. He stood up and placed a gentle kiss on Chu Xinyao's cheek.

"it is good."

"Heyu, come in!"

Hearing Shemo's voice, Heyu was overjoyed and patted Huxiao on the shoulder. He winked at him, "Thanks, Huxiao, I'll put in a good word for you."

Hu Xiao was taken aback. What should he say to help him?

He didn't understand what He Yu meant and wanted to ask, but He Yu had already turned around, smiling, and walked towards the bridal chamber.

As Snake Ink and Crane Feather passed each other, Snake Ink whispered, "Yao is pregnant with a cub; it's not advisable for her to be intimate with anyone."

He Yu smiled but didn't say anything. What a joke! The baby in Xin'er's belly was only saved because of their mating, and now he's telling him he can't be intimate?

He entered the room, gently closed the door, and his gaze fell on Chu Xinyao. Seeing the undisguised exhaustion on her face, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pity.

He walked over to Chu Xinyao's side, sat down gently, and asked in a soft voice, "Xin'er, are you alright?"

Chu Xinyao raised her head, finding a glimmer of comfort in He Yu's concerned gaze. She smiled slightly, though her smile betrayed her weariness: "I'm fine, just a little tired."

He Yu gently patted her hand, as if conveying his silent support: "Then you should rest first."

Chu Xinyao shook her head, a hint of apology flashing in her eyes. "Yu, I'm sorry." She still couldn't bring herself to be ruthless towards Shemo, because Shemo had also ruined Heyu's long-awaited marriage ceremony.

He Yu smiled, his smile devoid of blame, filled only with understanding and forgiveness: "Silly girl, there's nothing to apologize for." He said softly, his tone full of affection, "We don't need to apologize to each other, as long as you're happy."

A warm feeling welled up in Chu Xinyao's heart. She knew He Yu's sincerity, and his understanding made her feel incredibly at ease. She gently held He Yu's hand, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Yu."

He Yu affectionately stroked Chu Xinyao's head, "You don't need to say these things to me. We are partners, and I will always be by your side."

Chu Xinyao closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of He Yu's hand. She knew that no matter what the future held, she would never be alone. "It's so good to have you here."

"I will always be here, no matter when or where."

He Yu stood up and covered Chu Xinyao with the animal skin. Lying on the bed, feeling the warmth of the skin, Chu Xinyao whispered, "Yu, can you stay with me for a while?"

He Yu nodded and sat on the chair by the bed, quietly watching over her.

"Tiger, roar." Snake Ink's lips curled into a wicked smile as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "You've ruined quite a few good things!"

Tiger Roar stood opposite Snake Ink, showing no fear in the face of Snake Ink's provocation.

He recalled what He Yu had said: Yao Yao had originally agreed to become his partner, but She Mo had used a bewitching spell to deceive her, and she ended up becoming She Mo's partner. This matter had always been a thorn in his side, making him full of hostility towards She Mo.

"Hmph, so what?" Tiger Roar snorted coldly, looking like he was asking for a beating.

Snake Ink's smile deepened, seemingly unconcerned, as he slowly approached Tiger Roar. "I heard you've lost your memory?"

Hu Xiao frowned, remaining silent, but his heart was in turmoil.

"That's really unfortunate. There was never much of a chance to begin with, and now you've forgotten all your memories with Yu Yao. As you are now, you pose no threat to me whatsoever."

Snake Ink stopped in his tracks, and that wicked smile became even more sinister in Tiger Roar's eyes.

“You…” Tiger Roar clenched his fists. He was at a disadvantage and indeed could not fight against Snake Ink.

After driving away the tiger's roar, Shemo turned around and smiled disdainfully. Looking at the tightly closed door, the jealousy in her eyes was almost impossible to hide.

"Yao, my Yao."

The next day, the sky, which was usually clear, became dark and oppressive.

The gale-force winds, accompanied by torrential rain, lashed everything on the island like countless whips.

The rain poured down, as if a huge waterfall had been hung between heaven and earth. The rain cascaded down, blurring the view and making it difficult to discern directions.

The trees on the island swayed in the wind and rain, as if struggling against the forces of nature, while the waves, driven by the storm, surged and crashed against the shore, making a deafening roar.

The houses on the island appeared to be on the verge of collapse under the impact of the torrential rain. The seaweed on some roofs was blown off by the strong wind, and rainwater poured down from the eaves, forming small waterfalls.

When He Yu came in, Chu Xinyao was still looking worriedly at the torrential rain outside.

"Xin'er, come and have breakfast." Although she had been on this island for several days, Chu Xinyao was still not used to the food here, but there was one seafood stew that was her favorite.

"Yu, how are your people?"

"Don't worry, they fly very fast, and they set off yesterday. They're probably already halfway there."

Looking at the steaming seafood stew before her, the various fresh seafood ingredients mixed together, emitting an enticing aroma, she picked up a spoon, gently scooped up a spoonful, and put it in her mouth. She sighed, "Fortunately, the elder had the foresight to tell the clansmen to leave after yesterday's ceremony, which saved us from this downpour."

"Yes, but we might not be able to leave for the time being. According to what Yu Paopao said before he left, this rain might last for a long time." He Yu's tone was helpless, as this downpour had brought them considerable trouble.

The day before their ceremony, Bubble had already left at the summons of its male father.

"Yu, where's Shemo?" Chu Xinyao suddenly remembered Shemo. Huxiao and Heyu were only junior clan leaders and didn't really manage things in the clan, but Shemo was different; he was the clan leader. Moreover, Heyu had destroyed the Ink Serpent tribe's granary back then.

Chu Xinyao frowned, unsure of the extent of the damage to the granary. She wondered if it would affect her people's ability to get through the winter. Her heart was filled with worry.

"He's organizing people to build a house next door."

"Building a house? Isn't he going back to take charge?" Chu Xinyao asked in surprise.

He Yu shrugged. "He probably won't go back. It's pouring rain now, and it might be dangerous at sea. Besides, he probably doesn't trust you either!" Actually, he probably doesn't trust him and Hu Xiao!
