"I'm normal too." Sally took another one. Zulu didn't reach out to stop her this time, but his eyes kept watching her as if she was eating something deadly. "Fine, fine, I won't eat anymore." Sally felt uncomfortable under his gaze and really couldn't eat anymore. Rona watched the natural intimacy between them with no room for a third person and her face gradually turned ugly. "Brother Zulu." Rona called out forcefully. It was as if Zulu only noticed her then, "Resh female." Rona hurriedly said, "Why are you ignoring me? Isn't my dress beautiful?" Only then did Zulu glance at her dress, "Hmm, the dress is beautiful, how much for one? I'll buy a few for Yanyan." Rona's eyes suddenly widened, "What did you just say, Brother Zulu?" "Aren't you selling dresses?" Zulu asked. "I...I'm not selling dresses, and they're 200 Crystal Coins each, who could afford that?" Rona said with a sad face, feeling misunderstood. She came here to dazzle Zulu. She wanted to enchant him so that he would abandon Sally and be with her. She could even let her dad arrange for him to become the next Clan Leader. Besides, she had Superior Fertility and was in good health; she was certain she could bear him stronger offspring with better talents. Sally, however, was shocked by the price tag on her dress, "This, for 200 Crystal Coins?" Hearing Sally's surprise, Rona quickly gathered her emotions and said with a proud and smug face, "This is from the Eastern District, of course, it's expensive." "Oh." Sally thought about the supplies she got from the System as a gift package, wondering how much they would be worth in Beast World money. It's just a pity without a good pretext—If there were a merchant from the Eastern District... Sally looked at Zulu; he said he had friends from the Peng Clan who could transport goods from the Eastern District for him. Seeing her looking at him, Zulu thought she doubted his financial power and said, "About the dress, how many do you want?" "Not even one." She had clothes from the System reward, which, although they were all maternity clothes, were prettier than Rona's dress. "Rona—" Someone called out. Rona looked over. It was someone from her father's side, and she dared not ignore the call, "Coming right now." "I'll come back to find you later, Brother Zulu." After speaking, she picked up her dress and walked away. But as soon as she turned around, she heard a 'rip~' sound as the seam at the back of her waist split open... Sally immediately covered Zulu's eyes and pulled him aside. As they walked away, she said, "When I first saw it, I thought her dress didn't fit right. The waist seemed like it might rip at any moment, and there it goes." "Are you sure you don't want a dress? I think it's quite nice." Zulu lowered her hand, and as he passed her lips, he kissed them. Sally: "...No!" This man was getting better at flirting by the day! "Wait here for me; I'll see if I can help." Although she didn't like Rona, she was the Clan Leader's daughter. That status alone meant Sally couldn't just ignore what happened. Moreover, she had three children of her own. For the sake of their future, it wasn't wise to make enemies. It was better to value peace and make more friends with mutual interests. After all, in a community society, it was naturally better to have as many connections as possible. Zulu pointed in the direction of Auro and Robby, "I'll go take a look. After you're done, come find me, and be careful not to trip or bump into anything." "I'm not that fragile. When I was pregnant with my first child," Sally's sentence suddenly stopped, then after a pause, she continued, "I fell off the bed once, and there wasn't a problem." Zulu did not miss her slip of the tongue, "Is that so? When we get home, you'll have to tell me exactly where you fell from, so I can make sure it's covered." "...Okay." After Zulu walked away, Sally didn't go straight to Rona but looked for Ashley to discuss the awkward situation Rona was currently in. Ashley immediately took Shava, who was skilled at mending, with her. However, Rona's dress was not easy to mend, setting aside the fabric, there wasn't even any thread. Ashley looked at the dress that was tight on Rona's body, "The dress is beautiful, but if it doesn't fit well, it won't look good. How about you change into another piece of clothing?" "No," Rona immediately refused, "My dad spent 200 Crystal Coins to buy it for me; I want to keep wearing it." "...But the waist has burst open, and if we sew it with a coarse thread that doesn't match the color, it will be like a scar on a beauty's face—not only will it lose its charm, but it will look even uglier," Ashley advised. Sally walked over, holding a long thread of pink-orange in her hand, "What about this? Could this be any better?" It was not fine cotton, but brocade thread, shimmering in the sunlight. "This thread is so beautiful! Where did you get it from?" Ashley took the thread, quite surprised. Sally replied, "From a bird's nest. When I was alone in the Beast Forest, looking for food, I did many things like fishing and taking bird eggs." In reality, she had taken it off a quilt. She had turned a large blanket into a smaller one for the children to use and had some leftover scraps of fabric. Shava said, "That's right, some birds love to collect things and place them in their nests as if they were trophies." Sally nodded, "Right, you guys can fix it here for now, I'll stop people from coming over." Since Rona saw that brocade thread, her eyes at her turned shady; better for her to keep her distance. Ashley watched as Sally walked away and stopped people from coming over, reflecting on how kind-hearted and clever she was—no wonder Zulu was willing to marry into her clan. If Ashley were male, she might have fallen for her too. To Rona, she said, "Some folks from the Fox Clan came by earlier; it was the daughter and son of the Fox Clan Leader. Once your dress is repaired, go over and have a look. Especially at that male—he's as handsome as Zulu." Shava threaded the brocade thread Sally gave her onto a bone needle and started to mend the tear in Rona's dress. The thread was beautiful, and even the twisted tear could be turned into a pretty pattern. "I heard that the female from the Fox Clan that came by was Brother Zulu's former fiancee." "That's not happening, Zulu didn't agree. Don't mention it again in the future," Ashley warned Shava. Shava sulkily closed her mouth and concentrated on sewing. After Sally stopped a few Beastmen headed to the fresh fruit area, others also realized that it was inconvenient to come over here, so they temporarily stayed away. With nothing to do for the moment, Sally opened the System Map, wanting to see what Zulu was up to. But as soon as she opened the map, she heard a coquettish and alluring voice from Zulu's location, "Brother Zulu, why did you marry into the Rat Clan?" "I'm sorry, may I ask who you are?" Zulu replied very politely. Sally thought: ...Zulu really has too many unwanted admirers. She then stopped paying attention and looked towards Rona and the others, listening to what they were saying. She happened to hear Rona indignantly say, "It's none of your business what I do." Ashley wanted to continue persuading but was rebuffed by Rona, "That love potion you gave me doesn't work at all; Brother Zulu drank it and it was as if he hadn't at all. Did you give me a fake potion?"
