"Alby, look, that eagle is glaring at me!" Silu complained angrily.
Cheng Mo: ...
Alby: ...
Nance: ...
Kai: ...
Kano: ?
The group was stunned by Silu's statement. They all looked up at the eagle soaring high above them, then glanced back at Silu.
They wanted to say that the eagle wasn't glaring at her.
Eagle eyes naturally looked fierce and sharp—it was just their nature.
But in Silu's perception, the eagle was indeed glaring at her.
"Lulu, to be fair, that's just how an eagle's eyes look," Cheng Mo calmly explained.
"Really? But why do I feel like it's annoyed at me, glaring at me?" Silu frowned.
Well, maybe she was overthinking it.
The group was left speechless.
"Lulu, if you say the eagle is glaring at you, then it must be glaring at you. Next time, if I get the chance, I'll teach it a lesson for you. How dare it glare at you! It deserves a beating!" The big tiger under Silu growled indignantly.
The little female must be right!
Whatever the little female said, he believed to be true.
If she said the eagle was glaring at her, then it definitely was.
And if he ever had the chance, he would make sure to avenge her.
That eagle was too much!
"Uh, there's no need to punish it. I was just curious why it was glaring at me. Besides, it's flying so high, I can barely see it. We probably won't have the opportunity anyway."
"By the way, why is there an eagle here? Do they live near the sea too?" Silu asked curiously, looking at the group around her.
After all, the eagle was flying in the direction of the seaside.
"There are eagles near the coast. They nest on high cliffs by the sea, places no other beastmen can reach," Kai explained.
"Yeah, the eagle tribe is powerful. They fly high and see far; they dominate the sky and love soaring freely," Cheng Mo added.
His gaze was tender as he looked at Silu, as if asking if she liked eagles.
If she did, he'd try to find a way to get her one.
Silu wasn't dense; she understood what Cheng Mo meant.
He'd mentioned this before while they were traveling, and now, when the topic of eagles came up again, he was looking at her with that same expression.
Clearly, he was hinting at finding her an eagle as a partner.
Silu rolled her eyes in exasperation.
This guy...
To be honest, her mind was filled with thoughts of merfolk lately.
Who cared about eagles?
Besides, she already had enough partners.
If she added more, she'd start getting a headache.
The more mates she had, the more trouble it would bring.
If everyone behaved, it would be fine. But if they started fighting, getting jealous, or had other conflicts, it would become a mess!
It'd be complete chaos.
Silu sighed inwardly.
She was already stressed.
And on top of that, she was carrying cubs.
One litter after another, one partner after another!
She was busier than ever. Silu thought about her future and sighed, realizing her path was long and uncertain.
[Host, don't be discouraged!]
[Stay confident, and we'll keep pushing forward!]
[Complete your mission, save the world, save the beast world, and save the male beastmen!]
[Give them a complete home and love!]
[Host, I'm with you all the way! I'll help you!]
[For the sake of our great and noble mission, let's charge ahead!]
Hearing the system's voice, Silu was momentarily stunned.
Her spirit was instantly reignited!
Wow!
The system's pep talk had filled her with enthusiasm!
'Wait, hold on. Where have you been lately? You've been so quiet, and now suddenly you're back?' Silu mentally communicated with the system.
Right? Her system was always so unpredictable.
It had been silent for the past two months as if it had vanished.
Silu had even thought the system had stopped functioning.
Now, out of nowhere, it spoke up again, and she didn't know how to react.
[Host, don't worry about me. I was just in a state of dormancy. After all, when you don't need me much, I try to give you time alone with your partners.]
The system's mechanical voice responded.
Silu chuckled at how considerate the system seemed.
She wasn't worried about the system; she was just curious and puzzled.
Dormant? Who knew systems needed sleep too!
But why did it need to sleep?
'Why did you need to sleep?' Silu asked, voicing her curiosity.
[Because my energy is limited. When I sleep, I can conserve energy. As long as you keep bonding with more mates and having more cubs, I'll have endless energy and even level up. Not only that, I'll be able to give you better rewards. There are also some things I don't know yet because I'm still low-level!]
[I believe that if we work hard together and complete our mission, there will be unexpected surprises and results. Anyway, I'm going back to sleep now!]
[But don't worry; even in sleep, I'll protect you and the cubs with my system instincts. So, rest easy!]
As the system's voice gradually faded and finally disappeared, Silu knew it had fallen back into dormancy.
Indeed, she was still too weak.
There was no way around it—she had to get stronger!
She needed to collect more handsome men!
To give all these beautiful men a home!
Silu was filled with fighting spirit and excitement!
The system's words had a significant impact on her, filling her with resolve!
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
With Kai and Kano accompanying them, their journey had been much easier.
During these three days, any wild beasts that appeared were quickly dealt with by the group.
Although Silu wasn't part of the crocodile tribe, the fact that an outsider female was visiting the tribe was seen as a great honor.
