Star's jaw dropped. "What exactly did I do? If someone were to be angry, it should be me! This guy almost killed me before by burying me in the snow and he almost choke me to death now" She cast Grant a displeased gaze, her frustration evident. "Fine, it seems like we will definitely settle this face to face," she murmured angrily and vanished.
Meanwhile, the snow bed suddenly began releasing fog, and the entire cave froze up, making it extremely hard to break free. Grant, who remained on the frozen bed, became an ice statue along with the bed as he entered a deep hibernation.

The family of five were walking through the forest, with Lily being carried by Angus and not placed down at all. Before the journey started, Lily had informed Berry about her relocation. Berry wanted to follow her, but Lily managed to convince her to stay and promised to visit some other time.
"Are you planning on entering our tribe?" a young handsome man with green hair and matching eyes, dressed in a peculiar leaf outfit, halted Lily and her husband at the entrance. An arrogant air surrounded him as he looked at Lily with a look of disgust.
"Hello, young man, we would like—" Lily couldn't complete her statement when the handsome young man suddenly flared up in anger.
"You weird fruit! Are you ridiculing me!" he shouted at Lily with fury.
Lily was stunned. "What on earth have I said now that has to do with ridiculing?" she thought in confusion.
Angus's brows knitted together as he turned his cold gaze to the handsome man. "Believe me when I say I can cut out your tongue right here, right now," he threatened, eyes filled with murderous intent.
The young handsome man was frightened and took a step back. "You can't blame me; it was your mate who just addressed me as 'young man.' Wasn't she belittling me with her language?" he retorted.
Lily's mouth was wide open, and she slapped her forehead lightly. "I almost forgot that it was only my husbands who could understand my language better," she thought and smiled at the young man. "What I mean is that—"
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't smile! Don't... smile, you look... you look..." He cut in but couldn't complete his statement when he noticed multiple deadly glares directed at him. He shivered and added, "Just don't smile."
Lily was now completely at a loss and turned to Webby. "Am I that bad-looking?" she questioned.
Webby shook his head and smiled reassuringly.
"Look, I've said this before, and I'll repeat it: baby girl, you are worse than corpses; you are just too unsightly. Don't ask your husbands; they won't be honest with you, but I will—you're just too ugly," Star's voice echoed from behind.
Everyone turned to see Star, dressed in a simple modern schoolgirl dress, her hair tied up, making her more beautiful than before. She stepped forward and flashed Lily a smile. "Believe it," she remarked.
Lily's mouth twitched. "Why are you wearing my dress now?" she asked.
"Come on," Star rolled her eyes at Lily. "Be thankful that I honored you and wore your dress; don't get too happy," she replied.
Lily's mouth twitched again. "Says who that I'm happy, huh?" she rolled her eyes, then suddenly her gaze fell on Star's neck, which bore the mark of having been strangled.
"Little Star, how did you get injured?" Panic crept onto her face immediately.
Star merely rubbed her neck, and the mark vanished instantly. "Nothing, it does appear whenever I hang myself," she commented nonchalantly.
Everyone was stunned, and all eyes focused on Star.
Noticing everyone's weird gazes, Star blinked several times. "What's the matter?" she asked.
"You wanted to commit suicide? But why?" Lily asked, slightly confused.
Star gritted her teeth together. "What is wrong with this host of mine? I was trying to cover up; what does it have to do with suicide?" she exclaimed.
"Hmph, it would have been better if you had committed that 'suicide'," Liam hissed.
Star's eyes turned cold as she directed her gaze at Liam. "Mr. Man, repeat what you just said!" she challenged.
"What? I said it would have been better if you committed that suicide," Liam snapped boldly, his gaze filled with provocation as he stared at Star.
"You..."
"Stop it... stop it already, okay? Don't fight," Lily's voice interrupted. "Put me down first," she requested of Angus, and once placed on the ground, she immediately stood between them. "Please, let peace reign," she stated.
"You, little fox, you are lucky she pleaded for you," Star remarked.
"You, weird fruit, you are lucky Beauty pleaded for you," Liam jeered.
Lily was completely at a loss. "Pardon! When did I plead?" she exclaimed inwardly.
"I said! Never in your life address me as weird fruit!" Star shouted angrily.
"If you aren't weird fruit, then what are you? Let me tell you, you tricked my Beauty; I will never forgive you for this!" Liam countered.
Lily's mouth was tightly shut, and her hand cutely rested on her chin. "Better to watch the show," she thought.
"Lily, if you don't shut this crazy husband of yours up, I will roast him, I swear!" Star directed her gaze at Lily.
Lily opened her mouth to speak, but Liam interrupted.
"Who wants to roast whom? Believe it when I say you will be my lunch right now."
Lily was about to speak again, but Star cut in.
"Seems like I will need to teach a disobedient child a lesson." Star stood up, a chilling aura being released from her. "Never mess with people you aren't familiar with," she stated, a cold smile appearing on her beautiful face.
Liam's face also turned cold, and instantly, a nine-tailed fox appeared behind him. His eyes shone brightly, almost similar to Star's glowing hair, and a cold smile appeared on his face as well, his temperament mirroring Star's. He folded his arms together, a mocking smile displayed on his lips.
"Damn it, I almost forgot that this guy has inherited the stars blessings," Star cursed inwardly.
"What's going on here?" a female voice suddenly echoed.
