Hera nced back at Xavier’s group. If it were truly dangerous, she reasoned, Xavier’s older guide wouldn’t have permitted them toe here. Seeing them nearby only reinforced her belief that it was safe to venture this far.


    Putting her previous concerns aside, Hera scanned the area for a usable stick. As she pulled up her sweatpants to her knees and removed her shoes, she focused on the task at hand.


    "Bry, do you think there are edible mushrooms nearby?" Hera inquired.


    Bry nodded eagerly, gesturing towards the southern part of the forest. "Yes, they’re just nearby, around that area."


    Hera tapped her chin thoughtfully as she considered her options. "Bry, could you gather some dry twigs? But make sure to stay within sight," she requested.


    Upon hearing Hera’s instruction, Bry eagerlyplied, scanning the ground for twigs. Aware of where Hera was nning to use them, he also included some dry leaves in the mix to ensure an easier time starting a fire.


    He gathered the twigs in a dry spot near Hera. As she silently observed him, Hera couldn’t help but smile, admiring Bry’s quick-wittedness and intelligence.


    However, she didn’t waste any time on her own task. Spotting a yard-long stick, she quickly sharpened its tip using her tactical knife. The cameraman couldn’t help but whistle in admiration at how effortlessly Hera carried out her task.


    Shortly after, she began spearfishing in the shallow part of the river, where the fish congregated.


    With silent precision, she approached the school of fish, taking one careful step at a time to avoid creating too much disturbance in the water, which could startle the fish.


    Ensuring she was at an appropriate distance, she swiftly pierced through the water with her makeshift spear, aiming precisely and striking quickly.


    "Woah! You caught one! What a big fish!" Bry eximed, unable to contain his surprise and admiration as Hera lifted her spear triumphantly, showcasing the huge fish she had caught.


    Hearing Bry’s genuine praise, Hera couldn’t help but beam at him, her smile reflecting the warmth she felt from his sincere admiration and the excitement of the moment. It felt as if she were back in the wild with her grandfather once again.


    [AutieNextDoor: I got a screenshot of her smile!!!! (? ? ? )]


    [HeraismyGoddess: Woah!!! Not only is she beautiful, she’s also talented!!!! I am lucky that I simp for the right person. Huhuhu!]


    [HeraismySister: @AuntieNextDoor Please give me a copy of the screenshot!!! I was so taken by the moment that I only stared at the screen and forgot to SS!!!! ∑(Φ д Φlll]


    [HeraLoyalFan: @AuntieNextDoor +1]


    [Girlpower: @AuntieNextDoor +1]


    Hera stepped out of the water onto the shore, securing her spear between stones before cutting somerge leaves to use as a makeshift te for the fish. She cut ten leaves, eachrger than her face.


    However, when she went to retrieve her spear, it was nowhere to be found. ncing around, she spotted Xavier taking the fish off the spear. Hera narrowed her eyes as she watched him.


    Xavier seemed to sense her intense gaze and met her eyes directly, showing no signs of shyness. Instead, he calmly stated, "I’ll catch fish, you can gut them."


    Hera was momentarily taken aback by his assertiveness. <i>’Is he delegating tasks?’</i> Xavier then approached Hera, handing her the fish before diving into the water himself.


    Hera did not move for a while as she looked at Xavier, he was a little clumsy as he moved around and tried to pierce through the water but the stick would sometimes swerve after getting in contact with the water’s surface which would then slightly alter the course of the spear’s trajectory.


    It took him three tries before he seemed to get the hang of it.


    <i>’Is this his first time, perhaps?’</i> Hera wondered. Judging from his initial attempts, it appeared to be so. However, when he first jumped into the water, he disyed a level of confidence as if he had done it countless times before. Hera realized that he must have been observing her movements closely and was now trying to replicate them, albeit with a few misses. If only he hadn’t missed a few times, Hera wouldn’t have guessed that he had only observed her actions once before applying them and seeding.


    After sessfully catching a fish, his previouslyid-back demeanor transformed into a radiant smile, radiating joy that seemed to overshadow the beauty of the surroundings. Hera and the viewers from both their streams were momentarily stunned by his sudden change. Clearly exhrated by his sess, he happily approached Hera, pulling the fish from the spear and handing it to her.


    [MyKing: Ahhhhh! My heart!!! I’m going to get a heart attack!!! Has anyone got an SS just now?!!!]


    [Xavierforever: Arg!!! I even forgot to breathe just now, how can I even take an SS?!!! DAMN!!!]


    [Xavierforlife: He finally smiled!!!! My Xavier does not smile out of the silver screen... Huhuhu... I’m liking this Hera girl now.]


    [Xavierhubby: Yeah!!! It’s thanks to her that I had an eye feast just now... ]


    [XavierNo1: ( ??o?)(⊙ _⊙?) +1]


    Xavier’s poprity brought a surge of new followers to Hera’s social media ounts. These followers not only started following her but also began leaving morements and likes on her posts. It became evident that many of them genuinely appreciated her content.


    Betty initially harbored concerns about Hera possibly encountering trouble or feeling awkward in front of the camera, which is why she had been tuning in to the live stream from the beginning. However, her worries dissipated as she observed Hera’s natural demeanor, and it was evident that everyone was thoroughly enjoying her presence.


    Despite asional troublemakers in Hera’s livestream chat room, Betty found reassurance in Hera’s dedicated fans who swiftly dealt with any disruptive behavior. With their vignce, Betty could rx and enjoy the livestream while working, finding entertainment and satisfaction in watching Hera, her newfound artist, excel and thrive.


    In another CEO’s office. "Sir, have you seen this?"


    Rafael’s brow furrowed at the sudden interruption, sensing an air of urgency from his assistant. "What’s the matter?" he asked, a note of irritation evident in his voice.


    "I thought this might catch your interest," he said, approaching his boss and showing him his phone screen, which disyed Hera’s interaction with Xavier by the riverside.


    "Are you giving me this fish?" Hera asked, her senses returning as she processed the situation.
