The day's hustle and bustle quickly came to an end.

The campfire was bright, and only Xue Lan and Xia Gu were inside the beast cave. Xia Gu unconsciously stroked Xue Lan's fluffy tail.

Unsurprisingly, Xue Lan's handsome face turned red.

Xia Gu's fingers gently twirled her fluffy, cloud-like tail, her eyes sparkling with mischievous light.

If only the mycelium could lie in such a soft tail...

It's very comfortable just thinking about it.

Xue Lan opened his lips, his tail trembling slightly, a sign of his shyness and arousal.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound normal. "Xiaxia, stop fooling around. You're carrying my fetus now, you need to rest."

Xia Gu looked up at Xue Lan's gentle eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Your tail is so soft. Are all snow leopard tails like yours?"

Xue Lan paused for a moment, wanting to say no, but then worried that Xia Xia would touch the tails of other snow leopard beastmen, so she immediately changed her mind and said, "Yes."

Then, he tentatively reached out, trying to gently take back his tail.

"Xiaxia, are you tired? Are you sleepy?"

Xia Gu seemed to see through his thoughts, and nimbly turned to the side, her tail slipping out of Xue Lan's hand.

"I want to lie on your tail."

Xia Gu's face was beaming with a smug smile as she gently stroked the soft, warm white tail, preventing Xue Lan from uttering any words of refusal.

His handsome face grew redder and redder until it seemed as if the entire beast was ripe.

Xue Lan looked at her with doting eyes, tilted her head slightly, and gently rubbed her nose against Xia Gu's cheek.

"I'm willing to do anything as long as you're happy."

Xia Gu was a little shy at this sudden act of intimacy.

She's not a mushroom who's good at expressing her feelings.

She wasn't used to such intimate gestures with people, even though Xue Lan was her beast husband.

Xue Lan's cheeks flushed slightly, but she hugged Xue Lan's big tail even tighter.

"Xuelan, it's so good to have you."

Upon hearing this, Xue Lan felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

He gently wagged his tail and made a deep, contented purr, as if responding to her in this way.

Night quietly descended, the darkness deepened, and the two enjoyed each other's company and warmth.

Before she knew it, Xia Gu had fallen asleep.

Xia Gu was awakened by a warm touch after an unknown amount of time.

His slightly warm lips pressed against her forehead, gently and carefully, as if he were treating an extremely precious treasure, and placed a light kiss upon her.

Xia Gu's eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly about to take flight, startling Xue Lan's tenderness that was about to be explored.

She seemed to sense something, and slowly opened her eyelids, her eyes sparkling with the clarity of morning dew and a hint of drowsiness from not yet fully awake.

Their eyes met, and Xue Lan's heart began to race involuntarily. Her usually calm and collected eyes were now overflowing with tenderness and affection.

"Xiaxia, why are you awake?"

Xue Lan's voice carried a hint of panic as she quickly moved her lips away, her cheeks unconsciously flushing red.

Xia Gu chuckled softly, her laughter as clear and melodious as silver bells. She reached out and gently stroked Xue Lan's face, clicking her tongue in delight.

Why are you so shy about secretly kissing someone?

She loves this big cat!

"Xuelan, what were you trying to do just now?"

Xia Gu's words carried a hint of mockery.

When Xue Lan met those bright and beautiful eyes, her heart skipped a beat, as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand.

His thin lips were still hovering above Xia Gu's eyelids, his voice low and sincere, "I... just want to kiss you."

He carefully embraced Xia Gu, his large tail gently circling around her, as if to envelop her completely and offer her the warmest protection.

Xia Gu nestled against his chest, raising an eyebrow, "You don't need to kiss me secretly anymore, I'll respond to you."

A flash of joy quickly crossed Xue Lan's eyes!

He held Xia Gu's hand tightly, deeply moved, as if he wanted to etch this promise into his very bones and remember it forever.

Xue Lan's heart pounded like a drum, and her eyes gleamed with an irrepressible longing.

He slowly approached Xia Gu, each step feeling like walking on clouds, both light and heavy.

Even though she was a powerful figure who had survived the battles of the apocalypse, Xia Gu couldn't help but blush, her eyes filled with both shyness and anticipation.

"Xia Xia..."

Xue Lan's voice was low and gentle, as if afraid of disturbing this tranquil beauty.

He gently raised his hand, his fingertips lightly touching Xia Gu's cheek, the touch like a spring breeze caressing newly blossoming petals.

Xia Gu slightly turned her head to avoid his gaze, but did not look away.

This subtle gesture, like a silent permission, greatly boosted Xue Lan's courage.

He slowly approached, and finally, his warm lips gently touched Xia Gu's lips, warm but not hot.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Xue Lan's heart was filled with unprecedented satisfaction and happiness, while Xia Gu's eyes also shone with a gentle light.

Their hearts were intertwined, and they could never be separated again.

The cozy moment was too short-lived; the gradual warming of the cave was abruptly interrupted by a sudden noise.

"Sister, sister, I'm here!"

Xue Ting's voice was clear and loud, carrying a hint of pride and anticipation.

Xue Lan's movements suddenly stopped, a feeling of helplessness and frustration welling up inside her.

He sighed softly, slowly stepped back, his eyes filled with reluctance and tenderness.

Xia Gu's cheeks flushed slightly, and a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes, but there was also a smile.

"Sister, I've got something good to show you!"

Xueting, completely oblivious to the subtle atmosphere inside the cave, excitedly held up her artwork and strode in.

Xia Gu glanced at Xue Lan's slightly awkward expression and a playful smile appeared on her lips.

She gently patted Xue Lan's big tail, signaling him to relax.

Xueting had already run up to the two of them, clutching an exquisite handicraft tightly in her hand, her face full of excitement.

"Sister, look, this is something I just got from the market. I heard it was made by the most famous craftsman in our tribe!"

Xia Gu turned her gaze to the handicraft in Xue Ting's hands.

It was a small ornament, carved with intricate patterns, emitting a faint glow, seemingly containing some kind of mysterious power.

"nice."

Xia Gu nodded, reaching out to gently stroke every detail of the handicraft, her eyes sparkling with appreciation.

Xue Lan quickly composed herself, and the embarrassment in her heart gradually dissipated. "Is this the kind of small shop you want to open?"

Xueting nodded and said excitedly, "His skills are better than mine, and I would like to become his apprentice."

Xia Gu wholeheartedly agreed, "What is his character like?"

Xueting rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment, then said after a brief pause, "She's quite easy to talk to, just a bit stingy..."

They refused to give him any discounts, or even send him small gifts!

Xia Gu clicked her tongue lightly, "Tomorrow, your brother-in-law and I will go with you to take a look."
