"Little Mushroom, this is my friend, Xuanli from the Pegasus Tribe."

The big cat nudged Xia Gu's waist with its fluffy head.

Xia Gu nodded thoughtfully.

Unlike the horses Xia Gu had seen in the post-apocalyptic world, the centaur's hair was much longer and curlier, displaying a striking, mottled, glossy black color.

His lower limbs are in the shape of a horse, with excellent muscles covered by a thin layer of glossy black fur. He gradually transforms into a human form at the lower abdomen, where the abdominal muscles are tightly arranged. His skin is grayish-black, with only faint, small golden patches on his cheeks.

Her whole being was so beautiful that it resembled the mycelium of a rotten, burned jungle mushroom.

Could it be that all the Pegasus beastmen are centaur-like?

It's just too... beautiful.

Xuan Li, however, seemed aloof and not easy to get along with.

Xia Gu felt an itch on her face, and when she picked it up, she saw it was Xuan Li's mane.

This centaur was incredibly tall. It lowered its head and let out two soft neighs, its light golden eyes reflecting Xia Gu's face.

A head of long, curly black hair floated to the ground, almost wrapping around Xia Gu.

"Xuan Li, Xia Gu is my partner. Please take good care of her for me. Thank you."

Xue Lan used her tail to part Xuan Li's layers of fur and nuzzled Xia Gu's cheek again. "Don't worry, the Xuan Li people are easy to get along with. I'm leaving now. Wait for me to come back to the tribe."

Xia Gu nodded, waiting for her to react.

The big cat's nimble figure flashed past and disappeared into the towering snow-capped mountains.

Xue Lan led the beastmen toward another mountain range, but a sense of unease was rising in her heart.

Little Mushroom seemed to care a lot about that big horse.

He knew that it was almost impossible for a female to have only one mate, but if... Little Mushroom really liked it, he was willing to accept it.

With one more person protecting Little Mushroom, he might feel a little more at ease.

However, at this moment, Xia Gu was figuring out how to get on Xuan Li's back.

She currently has no plans to find another partner; she's just curious how Xuan Li could look like this.

Even if she wanted to have more children, it was limited to having Xue Lan.

Like the female orcs in the orc world, leading a large group of male beastmen behind her, Xia Gu found it... hard to accept.

"Xuan Li, don't squat down anymore. Let's walk back to the beast cave slowly."

Xia Gu stroked Xuan Li's mane gently.

"No, Lan-ge will say I didn't take good care of you when he gets back! I'll go to the steps over there, you can come up and get on my back!"

Seeing the exceptionally aloof black-skinned centaur, she cheerfully kicked her hooves, ran to the side of the steps, and beckoned Xia Gu over.

A look of surprise flashed across Xia Gu's face.

This big horse doesn't seem too difficult to get along with.

She tentatively climbed onto the horse's back, and Xuan Li began to talk to her incessantly.

"Xia Gu, there are fruits in the bag on my back. You can eat them if you're hungry."

"Huhu, how did you end up with Brother Lan? I thought Brother Lan would never find a partner in his life."

Xia Gu gave a casual reply, took out some fruit from the bag on the horse's back and stuffed it into Xuan Li's hand. Only when she heard him crunching the fruit did she completely relax.

Xuan Li is truly an incredibly deceptive centaur.

They were so incredibly enthusiastic!

Not only was he warm towards her, but Xuan Li would also greet other beastmen he encountered on the road in a leisurely manner.

This made Xia Gu lower her guard a bit.

Xuan Li traveled to the beast cave at a slower pace, which allowed Xia Gu to clearly see the entire tribe.

The center of the tribe, the periphery of the tribe, the edge of the tribe.

In the middle of the month, the chieftain's family and the priest's family divided their residences from the inside out according to the orcs' ranks.

However, Xue Lan was an anomaly. Despite being a high-level orc, she chose to live on the edge of the tribe.

The outskirts of the tribe are sparsely populated.

But along the way, Xia Gu noticed many more footprints on the snow.

"Xuan Li, do you think there's a high chance someone will come to the beast cave?"

"No way, Brother Lan just left. No orc with even a little bit of manners would wander around his territory."

Hearing this, Xia Gu was still not at ease.

Sure enough, when Xia Gu returned to the beast cave, she saw that the area outside was in complete chaos.

Xuan Li led her quickly into the cave.

The animal den had been ransacked, with all sorts of rare animal hides torn to shreds and wooden bowls and pots smashed!

Several unfamiliar orcs were chewing on jerky, looking at Xia Gu defiantly.

Then, she said obsequiously to the female beastman beside her, "My lady, look! That rotten female that Xue Lan found is back, and I heard she's pregnant!"

Xia Gu clenched her fists tightly, her eyes hiding a hint of murderous intent.

The female orc, surrounded by people, was wrapped in thick animal hides, her lower abdomen bulging with a huge arc, and a trace of disgust appeared on her snow-white face.

"So what if she's pregnant? I'm carrying a Silver Orc! What good thing can she give birth to? She's just taking advantage of Lan-ge's affection for her. Lan-ge should be my beast husband—I'll beat you until you miscarry and throw you into the beast den. When Lan-ge comes back, you'll be played to death too!"

"So, you are the priest's granddaughter."

Xia Gu chuckled and picked up the stone knife from the ground, pointing it directly at the other person.

Xuan Li stepped forward, stopped the girl, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Xia Gu, she's Shirley. You can't beat her. She's been learning martial arts from the priest since she was little. Put down your knife, and I'll fight Shirley's beastman!"

Xia Gu nudged the centaur's body and shook her head firmly.

"Shirley, do you dare to duel with me? If you win, I'll have an abortion and go to the beast's den, but if you lose, you'll be at my mercy."

Her cold, stern voice lingered in the beast cave for a long time.

Shirley's beast husband had a gloomy expression and was talking in hushed tones.

Shirley laughed mockingly, "Of course I dare! You rotten female, I admire your courage to court death—swish! bang!"

Two loud bangs!

Before the duel could even begin, Sherry suddenly raised a long stone knife and slashed at Xia Gu.

Xia Gu nimbly dodged, and all of Shirley's movements seemed incredibly slow and foolish to her.

She raised her foot and kicked hard, using 70% of her strength, sending Shirley flying against the cave wall, where she slid softly to the ground like a dead rat.

Blood gushed out, and Shirley was in excruciating pain, clutching her stomach and screaming wildly.

Her group of beastmen rushed towards Xia Gu like madmen.

Xuan Li was prepared. He kicked them all over with his horse's hooves, and then, as if playing around, he stomped on their chests. The huge hooves rolled down like boulders, leaving only their wailing!

Xia Gu suppressed her smile and walked to Shirley, who was nearly unconscious.

She took out a dark red pill, stuffed it into Shirley's mouth, and forced her to swallow it.

This is a system reward, a pill to prevent the birth of offspring.

She wants to try it out and see if it works well.

Sherry is only pregnant with a Silver Orc, and he dares to threaten to make her miscarry?

Xia Gu chuckled, a hint of anticipation flashing in her light-colored eyes.

Isn't she proud of her fertility?

Then let her be unable to have children forever!
