Yuan Xiao held this thing up to the sunlight. It clearly looked like a piece of black cloth, but it was actually somewhat translucent, and one could vaguely see some dark patterns on it.

She couldn't help but call out to Xiaochu: "What is this?"

Xiaochu: "I don't know. I think Fuguier can recognize it. Fuguier! Fuguier!"

Fuguier: "Keep your voice down, I'm not deaf."

Yuan Xiao: "Fuguier, do you know this thing?"

Fuguier: "Let me see... It's over, you're done!"

Yuan Xiao: ...

She was so scared that she quickly threw the thing away and ran back home with Jiamei.

After she calmed down, she asked Fuguier carefully again.

"Why did you just say I was done?"

Fuguier: "That thing is a snake skin."

Yuan Xiao: "Snake slough? What's wrong with that? Isn't that the skin that the snake no longer wants?"

Fuguier: "Ordinary snake skins are indeed what the snake no longer wants, but that one is the skin that was shed for the first time. It is the best quality and is the most comfortable to use for making clothes."

Yuan Xiao: "I told you, no wonder it feels so good. I should have taken it back and made it into clothes."

Fuguier: "I haven't finished yet. The first snake skin is usually used for courtship..."

Courtship?

Yuan Xiao suddenly felt a chill down his spine and had a bad feeling.

Yuan Xiao: "I didn't take it, I put it back..."

She thought about it and realized that she was so frightened that she threw it away directly. It couldn't be considered as putting it back. She couldn't help feeling guilty: "I really didn't take it..."

Fuguier sighed: "It's useless. As long as you touch it, it will leave a smell. If you open it, the smell will be even worse..."

Yuan Xiao tried hard to calm herself down. She cleared her throat and said, "Why didn't he deliver it himself? Maybe someone just threw it away?"

Fuguier: "Why did you fold it so neatly after throwing it away?"

This choked Yuan Xiao to the point of being speechless.

She was determined to give up: It doesn't matter, I can just fight back if something bad happens. Even if I get a big scar on my head, I can just start over!

After waiting for a long time without any movement, Yuan Xiao simply put the matter aside.

At noon, she cooked a large table of meat herself and called Jiamei and several females to eat together.

Everyone ate and chatted, it was very interesting.

As they were chatting and laughing, a man in a black veil walked in.

Unlike the other male beasts here, he was dressed tightly and looked tall and thin. His skin was very white, his eyes were deep, and with his smooth black hair, he looked fragile and broken.

He walked so quietly that no one noticed him when he first came in, until he got closer, and a female noticed him.

"This male beast is quite good-looking." Several females began to whisper among themselves.

Jia Mei reached out to touch his clothes, but he pushed her away fiercely. He was so strong that a red mark appeared on Jia Mei's arm.

"How can you hit a female?" Jiamei rubbed her arm and couldn't help complaining.

"I hate physical contact with others, you'd better stay away from me." He said coldly.

Yuan Xiao stood in front of Jia Mei and said to him politely, "You don't look like you are from Tiger City. Who let you in?"

"Does it matter? I didn't sneak in." He always looked superior and didn't even look at Yuan Xiao.

"Then tell me your name and I'll confirm it later." Yuan Xiao was still a little wary of him.

"Yu Mo." He glanced at Yuan Xiao, with emotions hidden deep in his eyes that were difficult to detect.

Yuan Xiao nodded and asked, "Then what are you doing in Tiger and Lion City?"

Yu Mo: "I want to stay here."

Yuan Xiao: "You can stay here, but you have to pass the inspection of the Tiger King or any of the elders."

Yu Mo: "I came in with the consent of the Second Elder."

Yuan Xiao: "Okay, I understand. Besides, Tiger and Lion City doesn't keep idle people. You have to work here. Can you do it?"

Yu Mo showed a little displeasure: "What do you mean? What kind of work can't I do?"

A female nearby couldn't help but say, "You look so frail, I'm afraid a gust of wind could blow you down!"

Several females couldn't help laughing, which completely angered Yu Mo. He clenched his teeth, his eyes gleaming coldly, as if he was about to attack in the next second.

Yuan Xiao didn't know where she got the courage from, but she rushed forward and grabbed Yu Mo's arm.

"Don't be impulsive, she just said it casually." Yuan Xiao held his arm and smiled at him friendly.

In an instant, Yu Mo's eyes returned to normal, as if his anger had disappeared.

"Take your hand away." He still looked disgusted, but did not push Yuan Xiao away.

Yuan Xiao let go of his hand with a smile, and gently patted his sleeve to smooth out the wrinkles she had accidentally made.

"As for the house, you can build it yourself wherever you like, and then tell Zehui or the elders. If you need anything, come to me."

"It's so troublesome. I see there are many empty rooms in this castle." Yu Mo still had no expression on his face. He would occasionally glance at his arm casually while speaking.

That was the place Yuan Xiao had just touched.

The females started discussing again.

"This castle belongs to Xiaoxiao. Only she and her beastly husbands live here. How can you live here?"

Yu Mo frowned slightly, then sneered: "I'm too lazy to build a house, and I'm alone, why don't you give me a room, it's empty anyway."

Yuan Xiao didn't know what to do for a moment, so she said to him, "I can't be sure about this either. I'll ask Zehui and Yunfeng tonight to see if they agree."

Yu Mo glanced at her and said, "You can't even make a decision on such a small matter? Never mind, I'll come find you in the evening."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Yuan Xiao standing there in confusion.

------------

In the evening, as dinner was coming to an end, Yuan Xiao talked about what happened during the day.

"A man named Yu Mo came here at noon today. Have you two heard about it?"

Zehui shook his head, but Yunfeng had an impression: "I heard Zhuang Lin say it was a snake beast, but he confirmed it was not a wild beast."

Yuan Xiao: "Yu Mo is... a snake beast?"

Yun Feng: "Yeah, what's wrong with the snake beast? It's not a wild beast anyway, it's okay."

Yuan Xiao: "I have a bad feeling..."

Zehui: "He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Yuan Xiao: "No... He just said he wanted to stay longer and wanted to stay in the castle. I said I had to discuss it with you."

Zehui and Yunfeng looked at each other and said almost in unison.

"no!"

"How did the discussion go?"

He appeared again in black.
