"Could it be that you've grown tired of us and want to have new offspring?"

"Love really does fade away. We can never be the best of friends again, right?"

...

These little bastards are quite the troublemakers.

They took turns saying their lines, and successfully put on a show, causing countless passing orcs to instinctively stop and take a look.

This performance alone made them subconsciously condemn Cat Duoduo and Snake Rong with their eyes.

—How can parents be so irresponsible!

CatDodo: "..." Damn, she was so wronged, it was even more bitter than eating bitter melon, she was so unlucky.

As if things weren't bad enough, another unfortunate child was added to the family.

The little beast Lolo had only been with the snake cubs for a few days, but he quickly began to imitate their antics. He chirped pitifully incessantly, and although he couldn't speak human language yet, he successfully won over countless beastmen with his watery eyes, eliciting overwhelming sympathy from them.

Although they seemed to have a good relationship and had reached an agreement on tricking her, it still made Mao Duoduo roll her eyes.

These guys really aren't afraid of getting into trouble...

If she were a truly wicked patriarch, she could absolutely take this opportunity to deceive them, then teach them a lesson they won't forget.

Unfortunately, she wasn't.

She coughed repeatedly, repeatedly stating that it was dangerous.

These words were spoken with considerable emotion, and even though some details were not elaborated upon, some of the orcs nodded in agreement after hearing them.

That's right, the patriarch is going to a dangerous place, what kind of talk is it for the cubs to go with him?

In the orc world, females and cubs are considered high-priority protected species. This has become a consensus.

"But it might be too cold then, and you all won't be able to hold on." Cat Duoduo sighed inwardly. Although she had brought a lot of Flame Fruit, it was not certain that all the Snake Rong snake cubs could eat it and survive for a few days on the snow mountain.

The snake cubs looked pitiful, and the little beast Lolo had tears in its eyes, chirping incessantly, as if Cat Duoduo had become a completely wicked female who abandoned her cubs.

Maoduoduo: "..." It's a misunderstanding. That's how her reputation was ruined. I understand.

Snake Rong watched everyone's reactions from the sidelines, and finally stepped forward, scooping up the snake cub and the little beast Lolo without any hesitation. Although these cubs were quite heavy together, Snake Rong still handled them with remarkable ease and composure, without changing his expression.

"She Rong, what are you doing—" Cat Duo Duo was a little upset.

The Serpent Rong said succinctly: "Without us, they will do bad things."

Upon hearing this, Mao Duoduo's lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single word.

The kittens, upon hearing this, wholeheartedly agreed, repeatedly stating that they would do bad things if they weren't taken along. This gave the cat, Duoduo, a real headache.

She rubbed her forehead and said helplessly, "Alright, stop fooling around. Since that's the case, let's go together."

"Yay!" The cubs were overjoyed, almost wanting to clap their hands on the spot, which made CatDodo roll its eyes.

These kids...

"I'm sorry, but my cub insisted on coming along." Mao Duoduo stepped forward and told Di Qing's subordinates about the changes in the plan.

The other person smiled and said, "It's alright, it just so happens that I heard the city lord has arrived."

"Hey..." Upon hearing this, Maoduo instinctively looked in the direction where the footsteps had suddenly appeared. Diqing had arrived at that moment.

He smiled slightly and came over, revealing his purpose: "I also want to go to the snow mountain with you."

Upon hearing this, Maoduoduo agreed without hesitation, "Sure."

She had barely finished speaking when she realized a powerful presence emanating from beside her, sending a chill down her spine. She turned around with difficulty. Good heavens, the Serpent Rong was staring at her with an ambiguous expression.

CatDodo subconsciously said, "He went to the snow mountain with me before, so don't worry, he can help us then."

Upon hearing this, the Serpent Rong did not speak, but a hint of gloom appeared in his eyes.

In the end, I still don't know if that Flame Fruit will even be of any use...

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Maoduo assumed it was tacit agreement and smiled at Diqing, saying, "Then I'll have to trouble you again. But what about your work?" After all, the other party was the city lord of the tribal city.

“You don’t need to worry about this.” Di Qing smiled slightly, and as soon as he turned his head to look in one direction, an orc nodded. “Please rest assured, we will handle our work properly while the city lord is away.”

These words truly relieved CatDodo; not bad at all.

Since that's the case, Maoduoduo simply said she was leaving, but she didn't expect someone to follow her...

"No way, Leopard Fierce Rabbit Ling'er, you two followed us?" Cat Duoduo's eyes widened. She wondered why she suddenly heard two more footsteps following them.

She Rongdiqing stared at Bao Lie and Tu Ling'er, who were keeping a certain distance from them, with an ambiguous expression.

It was obvious that Bao Lie and his group were also being wary of them, fearing that getting too close would easily provoke rejection and dissatisfaction from everyone, and they had taken certain precautions for this.

Upon hearing Mao Duoduo's words, Tu Ling'er snorted coldly, "Seriously? You really think this is a path only you two can take?"

"Ling'er!" Bao Lie interrupted her abruptly, as if he had done it countless times before.

Then, he said to Maoduoduo, "I'm thinking, maybe I should follow the same path as you."

"Um, but we're going to the snow mountain." Mao Duoduo's lips twitched, thinking to herself, is the original work effect really that strong?

Rabbit Spirit was about to speak when she heard Snow Mountain, but she still told Leopard Fierce to speak first: "Okay."

Since he had already said that, what else could Tu Ling'er say? She pursed her lips, crossed her arms, and remained silent, knowing that Leopard Lie would take everything anyway.

Seeing this, Maoduoduo shook his head and was about to speak.

As a result, she noticed with her sharp eyes that Snake Three and the other younger ones were about to run over, clearly intending to provoke Rabbit Spirit, still holding a grudge against Rabbit Spirit for almost getting into a fight with her before.

"What are you guys trying to do?"

"Since you want to come with us, you absolutely must not cause trouble."

CatDodo quickly issued a warning, asking SnakeRong to keep a close eye on the cubs.

She Rong didn't say much about the heavy responsibility that Mao Duoduo had suddenly thrown at him; he just glanced at the cubs.

Just that one look was enough to make the cubs, who were still itching to give Rabbit Spirit and the others a hard time, instinctively stand at attention, as if they had encountered their greatest natural enemy.
