Chapter 58

This little female made him want to protect her even more!

"Your eyes can glow? That's amazing!" Si Lu exclaimed with excitement.

It seemed like she had never seen any other beastman's eyes light up before.

So magical.

Hehe.

"Male beastmen's eyes can all do that," Heiyao said with a smile, raising his hand to gently pat her head in a doting, tender way.

"But I haven't seen Cheng Mo's or Song Zhan's eyes glow before. I'll ask them later if they can do it. It's so fun, like two little light bulbs—no, like night pearls!" Si Lu said happily.

She even reached out to touch Heiyao's eyes, marveling at how magical it was!

Her own eyes couldn't glow, though.

"Night pearls? Light bulbs? What are those?" Heiyao asked in confusion.

He had never heard of such things before.

"They're glowing glass balls, kind of like stones that emit light and are used for illumination," Si Lu explained.

"Got it!" Heiyao made a mental note. If he ever came across something like that, he'd definitely bring it to her.

"I'm hungry. I want some roast meat!" Si Lu said, patting her stomach.

These days, her belly had grown a bit, not as flat as before.

She figured her stomach would get even bigger in a while.

She also noticed her appetite had increased recently.

"Alright, let me carry you up," Heiyao said, reaching out to lift her into his arms.

To make sure she could see clearly, he even made the tip of his tail emit a little red flame, lighting up the cave for her.

Being a fire attribute, this came easily to him.

For the first time, he was grateful that his elemental ability was fire—it could create warmth and light.

"Wow, so cool! Hehe!" Si Lu said happily.

She wrapped her arms around Heiyao's neck and gave him a quick kiss on his handsome face.

At that moment, Cheng Mo and the others returned.

They had brought back a great haul.

"Hmph, the first thing I see when I come back is this! Si Lu, I want a kiss too," Song Zhan's voice echoed.

Si Lu froze for a second, realizing they had returned.

Worried that she couldn't see clearly, Heiyao threw a small fireball at the pile of kindling nearby, instantly igniting it.

The cave was now brightly lit.

Si Lu saw that Cheng Mo and the others were back—three of them had returned together.

They were carrying meat and herbs, looking quite tired. Seeing their weary expressions, Si Lu felt a pang of guilt.

She hopped down from Heiyao's arms and ran up to them, giving each of them a kiss.

Their lips curled into smiles, eyes filled with warmth.

Their little female was so adorable!

"That's more like it. You wouldn't believe how lucky we got today. We managed to hunt down a whole group of wild boars and their piglets!" Song Zhan laughed, a vine tied around him as he dragged bundles of meat wrapped in leaves.

The meat had all been processed and cleaned.

"If we hadn't spent time preparing everything, we would've been back sooner. But it's good to store more food. You must be starving. I'll cook the meat right away," Cheng Mo said, his heart aching for Si Lu.

Mmm, mating!

He could smell it.

Not just him—Song Zhan and Bai Di could smell it too. But they showed no reaction, as it was a normal occurrence. They had all expected it to happen, so there were no hard feelings. Over time, they had accepted Heiyao.

Mating was something bound to happen.

As long as it wasn't a bad beastman and as long as the male treated the female well, it was fine.

Of course, the female had to like him too.

"Mhm, I'm hungry," Si Lu said, pouting a little as she looked at Cheng Mo.

Cheng Mo's lips curled into a smile as he picked her up and sat her on his lap, starting to grill the meat.

Luckily, he had washed up earlier while handling the meat, so he didn't smell of blood.

How could he hold his cute, soft little female without being clean?

Meanwhile, Heiyao helped sort the meat and herbs.

Si Lu sat on Cheng Mo's lap, watching him grill the meat with a happy expression.

She noticed a tiny black snake coiled around her ankle. It was kind of cute.

She raised her hand and touched the beast mark on her ankle left by Heiyao.

A small, cute black snake wrapped around her ankle, coiled twice and a half, like a decorative anklet. It made her foot look even whiter and more delicate.

She loved it!

"Why do you like his beast mark so much?" Cheng Mo asked, a little displeased.

His own beast mark didn't get the same attention from her.

He was feeling really jealous!

"I like them all! Each of your beast marks is unique. Yours is a cute spotted deer, Song Zhan's is an adorable tiger head, Bai Di's is a fox, and Heiyao's is a tiny snake wrapped around my ankle. They're all so cute; I love them all!" Si Lu smiled, her eyes sparkling.

"Hmph, that's more like it," Cheng Mo replied.

As long as she liked them all.

"By the way, can your eyes glow too?" Si Lu asked Cheng Mo curiously.

Her curious expression made Cheng Mo's heart soften.

Before he could answer, the big tiger at the meat pile jumped in.

"Of course! It's a basic ability. Male beastmen have great vision. Our night vision is even better than during the day. Strong light doesn't affect us, and our eyes can easily glow!"

"Female beastmen are naturally more delicate, so they can't glow, but they can still see at night. Only a rare few can make their eyes glow!"

"Look, my eyes are glowing right now!" Song Zhan said excitedly, making his eyes flash a brown light. Indeed, they were quite bright!

Si Lu was a bit frustrated after hearing that.

So she was the only one with bad night vision?

On this beastman continent, female beastmen could see clearly at night too, even though their eyes couldn't glow.

That made her feel a little better.

But wow, Song Zhan's eyes really glowed!

"A Zhan, light them up again. It's so cool! A Mo, you too! I want to see. And Heiyao, you as well. I want to see all of you glow at the same time!"

Si Lu called each of them by name, getting more and more excited.

She imagined a colorful display of glowing eyes and got super excited!

She didn't ask Bai Di because he was shy and always wore an eye patch. Out of respect for his feelings, she didn't ask him to go.

The next moment, each of them lit up their eyes as she requested, glowing in different beautiful colors. It was fun and beautiful!

Song Zhan's eyes glowed brown, Cheng Mo's glowed gold, and Heiyao's glowed purple. One by one, they shined in turns. It was so fun to watch!
