44: Let me use my beauty to catch a fish.

Hain, a noble.

He seems to be more sympathetic toward women, or perhaps he just cannot refuse a woman's request?

This seems much easier to handle than the arrogant Kong Jiamu.

Furthermore, the identity Tu Nan is currently crafting is also more suitable for him.

Tu Nan slowly pulled a smile of certainty.

Now, she just needs to discuss it properly with Ji Yu to begin her capture operation.

"Little Bear, can you help me ask Gaia to fetch some more water for me? Don't go near the water source yourself, okay? I will be watching you."

Tu Nan watched Little Bear happily accept the task, running away with his short legs going patter-patter.

"You know my situation."

With people coming and going all around, Tu Nan could not be too explicit; key information had to be concealed.

Ji Yu nodded almost imperceptibly.

"I'm very sorry for not correcting you earlier, that is..." Tu Nan blinked slyly, "Gaia is not my lover, he is just my helper."

Ji Yu was surprised and covered her mouth.

"Gaia, he only helped me escape." The ambition in Tu Nan's eyes burned ever brighter, and her gaze was startlingly brilliant.

Looking back at Ji Yu, she said: "I don't want to go back to my previous situation. Not even for a single day."

"And I have a reason why I must climb higher."

"I really cannot tell you this reason, but it is truly a matter of life and death. If I fail, I will face death."

"I want that man! I must bear his child." Tu Nan gestured for Ji Yu to look over there.

Hain, standing together with Kong Jiamu.

The place where the two men stood was practically shining. Those two were completely out of place with the temperament of the soldiers around them.

The Patrol Army was originally a military branch of the Central Star, and its members were considered elites in the military, but when set against these two, they immediately seemed unworthy of notice.

Ji Yu cast her gaze into the distance, blinking, and then asked with some confusion.

"That... which one? The blue-haired one? Or... the black-haired one?"

Tu Nan was at a loss; how should she put it?

Actually, either one would do, but since she had already chosen, she needed to focus to succeed.

"The black-haired one." She said with ironclad certainty.

"He looks like quite a gentle Male Beast... his waist, it really looks powerful."

Ji Yu actually accepted everything immediately; she spoke as if Tu Nan could devour this Male Beast that very night.

"You don't know, some Male Beasts look strong, but they actually can't get us pregnant at all." She pouted, not knowing what unpleasant things she was thinking of.

"After all that effort, they end up blaming me for not being able to bear cubs. They don't even look at that tiny little thing on themselves."

She commented on Hain with an air of seriousness.

"This one shouldn't be a showpiece. To tell you the truth, I snuck a peek just now, and he's quite well-endowed."

? No, what are you talking about!

Tu Nan was greatly shocked and looked at Ji Yu speechlessly. Ji Yu, however, calmly took a veil from behind her and tied it on her.

"We Foster Mothers have seen plenty; we generally have an idea."

"Actually, Gaia is also not bad, but since you are unwilling, then so be it." She smiled and adjusted Tu Nan's hair and veil, her words as gentle as a caring older sister.

"That person looks like a noble? How do you want me to help you? I think you need to act a bit aloof first; they fall for that."

If I had enough time, I could certainly act aloof and fish slowly. But time is short; I can't keep acting aloof.

"I have a plan. I just need Little Bear to help with a small favor."

In the evening, after a full day of rest, the bustle by the oasis gradually quieted down.

Most people had set up camp, enjoying the comfortable sensation of the moist breeze lingering around them.

Hain was lying by the shore; unlike his friend who was afraid of getting tanned, he wanted to stay by the water at all times.

Messy footsteps gradually approached him, like the curious exploration of some small animal. Hain did not move.

There were soldiers all around; it was impossible to let danger approach, and besides, he didn't feel any threat.

Someone touched his hair, and then a soft, milky child's voice rang out, "Uncle, your hair is so nice to touch."

Why is it a child? Hain opened his eyes.

Sure enough, a toddler-sized little boy with brown curly hair was squatting beside him, touching his hair with an envious expression.

Hain sat up, his black hair flowing like water out of the little boy's tiny fists.

"Ah..." The little boy let out a sigh of regret in a grown-up manner. Hain revealed a gentle smile and asked with interest.

"How did you run over here all by yourself?"

Hain frowned and looked toward the caravan; no one was following behind him.

This child could only have snuck over from the caravan. He didn't know how his parents were watching him, letting him run around alone by the water.

"I... I saw your black hair, I liked it a lot, so I snuck over. Can you please not tell Tu Nan?"

The little boy was very troubled, trying to negotiate nicely with Hain.

"What is your name? You cannot run around, okay? I will take you back." Hain asked.

"Little Bear." Little Bear obediently reached out his chubby arms to him, wanting to be held.

Hain softened his expression, suppressing his inner dissatisfaction with the irresponsible parents, picked up the little boy, and walked toward the caravan.

Little Bear buried his face in his neck, smelling the fresh water vapor on the black hair, and happily grinned!

Tu Nan! I did it! Little Bear is indeed the best baby, hee hee.

"Is this it?" Hain arrived at the caravan; passersby saw him holding Little Bear, and several people wanted to come and take him, but were heartlessly driven away by Little Bear.

"I want to find Tu Nan!"

A group of people watched helplessly as this little ancestor dragged this stranger from the Patrol Army toward the side of the caravan.

Not far from the shore, a small tea stall was set up, tea was brewing on the tea stove, but there was no one at the stall.

Behind it, a rest area was circled off with cloth curtains, presumably serving as a small preparation area. Little Bear was wriggling and twisting on Hain's body, wanting to get down.

As soon as Hain put him on the ground, the little boy rushed over like a cannonball and tore open the surrounding cloth curtains.

"Ah!"

A slender Female Beast was changing her clothes. Her top had already been taken off, and she was only wearing a thin gauze around her lower body. She had been gathering her black hair that reached her waist, trying to tie it up.

One black, one white.

The extreme contrast thus struck Hain's eyes. He quickly turned around, but could not banish the image from his mind.

He himself had black hair, but he had never thought that such long black hair would look like this on someone else.

So innocent, and yet...

He stopped his train of thought, not allowing himself to make such disrespectful speculations about a lady, but his earlobes had already quietly flushed red.

Behind him came the faint sound of fabric rubbing. After a while, a voice feigning calmness rang out.

"...I have offended you, honored guest. I am dressed now."

"Are you returning Little Bear? Please sit down and have a cup of tea."

Tu Nan was behind him, kneeling and sitting with a smile, having already begun to brew tea again.

Hain pursed his lips and turned back.

The woman had already put on her clothes and covered her face with a veil. On the top of her head, a black, cute hair whorl was before his eyes.

Dancing.
