She calculated in her mind: if she could smoke as much as possible over the next five days before the Harvest Festival, it would help, as she certainly couldn't rely solely on smoked meat through the entire cold season. At least with fresh meat and yams to pair it with, the winter would be more bearable.Once she finished her tasks, she muttered softly, "Why haven't they come back yet?"Barely a moment later, Clar saw the familiar figures of a lynx and a tiger in the distance.

The slightly lingering intimate atmosphere was shattered by Lucas’s words.He suddenly reached out and pulled Clar into his arms, his tone clearly displeased.“She’s mine.”Clar immediately felt the grip around her waist tighten.It was almost h
The air inside the cave still carried traces of lingering intimacy.Lucas looked at Clar’s slightly flushed face, a hint of satisfaction flickering in his eyes.He suddenly leaned closer, his breath brushing past her ear.His lips lightly grazed her earlobe, warm breath
