"That's fine, as long as you're comfortable. That's how we know what we do is worthwhile," Cheng Mo said with a smile.
As her beast husbands, their duty was to take care of her.
Taking care of her, protecting her, was their most important responsibility and mission as her beast husband companions.
"Mm-hmm," Si Lu said nothing, just stretched out her hand to hug Cheng Mo, nuzzling into his embrace.
"Alright, I'll carry you to eat," Cheng Mo said as he picked Si Lu up from the grass pile. Just as they stepped out of the cave entrance, they saw a big tiger lying at the entrance. The tiger squinted and gently looked at Si Lu.
"Ah Zhan, why are you lying here?" Si Lu asked with a smile.
"He's been lying there since last night, ever since you two went into the cave to rest. He hasn't moved at all. Even this morning, when we went hunting, he was still there guarding you two," Hei Yao said with a smirk, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes.
Hmph, this big tiger had tried to trip him up before, now let him have a taste of his own medicine.
The big tiger didn't know what was going on, just nodded.
He thought Hei Yao was actually speaking on his behalf, thinking Hei Yao was trying to make Si Lu understand how he'd been protecting them all night, hoping she would feel sorry for him.
In the past, he had been wrong to target Hei Yao.
"What? You guarded us all night without moving?" Si Lu said in shock.
Her expression suddenly became awkward, her fair little face instantly flushed red.
Did that mean that last night, when she and Cheng Mo were intimate, all the sounds were clearly heard by this guy?
Si Lu was stunned!
"Yes, wasn't I great? I didn't move an inch, guarding the place the whole time so no one would disturb you during your mating," the big tiger said proudly.
Hei Yao chuckled, this big tiger was really straightforward.
Didn't he see how Si Lu's face was already red?
It was clearly out of embarrassment.
He knew that Si Lu, unlike other females and other beastmen, was quite shy and easily embarrassed. She was also very clean and particular.
Other females had no problem sleeping with multiple beast husbands at once, which was considered normal.
But Si Lu couldn't accept that. Not only that, she even disliked it.
If she knew the big tiger had stayed all night, eavesdropping on their private moment, she would be furious...
"Beastmen have excellent vision, Lu Lu. You experienced that last night. And of course, their hearing is even better. They can pick up on the slightest sound around them," Hei Yao added thoughtfully.
The implication was that he supported Song Zhan guarding them for their safety, but secretly, he was adding fuel to the fire.
He was hinting to Si Lu that the big tiger had probably not only heard but also seen everything from last night.
After all, he was the only one guarding outside the cave.
Cheng Mo, carrying Si Lu, glanced at Hei Yao. He wasn't stupid and knew exactly what Hei Yao was trying to do. He was still a bit upset about what happened last night, so letting the big tiger take a little punishment wasn't a bad idea.
Who told him to say bad things about Lu yesterday?
Just thinking about it made Cheng Mo feel annoyed.
So he didn't bother warning the clueless big tiger and let him face the consequences.
When Si Lu heard what Hei Yao said, she instantly felt even worse.
That meant the big tiger had both seen and heard everything.
How humiliating!
Si Lu couldn't believe that one of her mates enjoyed eavesdropping like that. What an odd and twisted hobby! But deep down...
"Song Zhan, you're not allowed to sleep at the cave entrance anymore! No more peeking, no eavesdropping, and definitely no listening through walls, hmph!" Si Lu said angrily, her cheeks puffed up.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with embarrassment, and her lips were pouting.
Hei Yao laughed to himself, clearly enjoying the situation.
Cheng Mo, still carrying Si Lu, walked away from the cave entrance, heading toward the fire pit a few meters away.
Song Zhan was stunned. He scratched his head with his paw, completely confused as to why Si Lu was angry.
Just now, it was obvious she was upset.
It had been a long time since she'd called him Song Zhan instead of Ah Zhan.
Even though he wasn't the smartest, he could tell that this was serious, and he had truly made her angry.
He felt a pang of panic and fear in his heart!
But he still didn't understand what he had done wrong.
He guarded the cave with good intentions, but it seemed like his good intentions had backfired.
Feeling a little wronged, he drooped his head and made his way to the fire pit as well.
Bai Di, watching the scene, shook his head in exasperation.
This big tiger really needed to be more mindful!
"Lu Lu, I made you a set of beast clothing. Do you like it?" Bai Di said, pulling out the outfit he had made.
It was white, with fluffy white fur, looking very cute.
Not only that, the top resembled a vest, while the bottom was a knee-length skirt, also fluffy and white—truly beautiful.
"I love it! What kind of fur is this? It feels like rabbit fur, so soft. I really like it, Ah Di, you're so talented!" Si Lu said excitedly, hugging the set of beast clothing.
"Lu Lu is so clever! It is rabbit fur. I specifically chose it for you. I thought, with your fair skin, this would look even better on you. And since it's lined with rabbit fur, you can wear it when it gets colder to stay warm," Bai Di said softly, his smile warm.
Today, he wasn't wearing his eye mask. His eyes, like a vast sea of stars, were incredibly beautiful.
Last night, he had already revealed his eyes, so there was no need to keep hiding them.
After all, Si Lu didn't mind, and neither did their other beast husbands. He had finally integrated into their group. As for his eyes, he didn't want to hide them anymore. He would just let them show proudly.
Even though he still felt a bit uneasy, he believed he would get used to it over time.
As long as Si Lu was by his side, he could do anything.
"Wow, Ah Di, you're so thoughtful. I love it!" Si Lu said, hugging the clothes, her excitement clear.
She really loved it.
Especially the fluffiness—she had always liked fluffy things.
"I'm so glad you like it. I was worried you wouldn't," Bai Di said softly.
Yes.
But he had made it anyway.
After all, he really wanted to make clothes for Si Lu. Seeing her wear something he had made made him feel happy and accomplished.
Of course, Bai Di had noticed that most of the clothes Si Lu wore before were made by Cheng Mo.
