Hu Feng'er turned around and saw Mao Duoduo holding a whip, his beastly eyes blazing with anger as he looked past her at the three cubs with heartache.

"If you dare touch my baby, I'll fight you to the death!"

She pulled hard, and Hu Feng'er, caught off guard, lost his grip on the rattan whip, which instead struck him.

What's wrong with you?!

Hu Feng'er gasped in pain and glared at Mao Duoduo with displeasure.

"I removed the snake's gall bladder to give to Leopard Fierce!"

"Give it to Leopard Fierce?! Even if the Beast God comes, he won't be able to hurt my cub!"

Mao Duoduo pushed Hu Feng'er aside, walked to the three cubs, and was about to untie the vines binding them when Hu Feng'er stopped her.

"Don't pretend to be a good guy! If you're not satisfied, let's wait for Leopard to come over together."

Hu Feng'er reluctantly compromised.

Using someone else's child to please her crush is definitely not a good thing she did.

But everyone in the beastman world knows that CatDodo doesn't care about her cubs at all. Even if no one else does anything, she'll torment them to death sooner or later.

It's better to let her have it and do her a favor.

Mao Duoduo's dissatisfaction stemmed from the fact that she had tried to please Bao Lie without bringing her along.

When the three kittens saw that the cat Duoduo had arrived, they did not feel joy at being rescued; instead, they felt even more desperate.

Cat Duoduo loves Leopard Fierce to the bone. She would be more than happy to use snake gall to please Leopard Fierce, and she would not care about their life or death at all.

They were already powerless to resist with only Hu Feng'er on the field, and now with Mao Duoduo added to the mix, they have absolutely no hope of survival.

For a snake, having its gallbladder removed raw is extremely painful, akin to being pulverized.

Snake lowered his beastly eyes and looked at his two younger brothers, who were cowering in a ball. His heart ached because he was useless and could not protect them.

Ignoring Hu Feng'er, Mao Duoduo picked up the stone knife from the ground and slashed it down fiercely.

As soon as the snake closed its eyes, the hatred in its heart burned like a raging fire. It hated itself for being useless, and it hated them even more for having such a vicious mother as Cat Duoduo!

The expected excruciating pain did not come. The next second, he felt a release as he and his two younger brothers fell into a warm embrace.

"Don't be afraid, Mother will take you home."

The snake opened its eyes and looked at Cat Dodo in disbelief. She really had come to save them...

Snake Two was also stunned, it was hard to tell whether it was frightened or shocked.

Snake Three couldn't help but quietly rest his head on Cat Duo Duo's shoulder. When he was bullied and scolded, he really wished that his mother could stand up and protect him.

Cat Duoduo hugged her three cubs tightly and turned to leave, but Hu Feng'er reacted and blocked her way with his whip in hand.

"Cat Duoduo, where are you taking them?"

"They are my babies, of course I want to take them home!"

Cat Dodo's gaze was sharp. If it weren't for the fact that her three cubs were seriously injured and needed immediate medical attention, she would have given this vicious fox a good beating!

It's outrageous that they would treat a little kid so cruelly!

"Bao Lie will be here soon. If you take them away, what will I give Bao Lie?"

Hu Feng'er glared at Mao Duoduo through gritted teeth. She had to leave behind a snake gall bladder today, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain herself to Bao Lie. She didn't want to give Bao Lie the impression that she was unreliable.

"I don't care how you explain yourself!"

Mao Duoduo was so angry she laughed. It was her business if she liked Bao Lie, so why should others have to sacrifice for her!

"If you absolutely insist on an explanation, go find a male snake-race beastman now. If you're lucky, you'll have an explanation soon!"

"Cat Duoduo, you've gone too far!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Hu Feng'er finally tore off the mask of politeness, revealing her sharp claws and fiercely slashing at Mao Duoduo's alluring face.

Cat Duoduo dodged the attack with her three cubs, then placed them near the relatively safe tree roots, focusing all her attention on dealing with Hu Feng'er.

"You want to kill my cub, and yet I'm the one bullying you?!"

CatDodo, unlike her usual timid self, used her strong orc body to display the fighting skills she learned in modern times.

Although she wasn't very skilled at first, she was agile enough that Hu Feng'er couldn't hit her at all, and was instead hit a few times by her tail.

The two fought fiercely. The original owner of this body was a cat, and coupled with his usual laziness and love of food, he quickly became exhausted.

Hu Feng'er fought harder and harder, and Mao Duoduo was exhausted. She staggered and Hu Feng'er took the opportunity to strike her with his claws, leaving a bloodstain that soaked her animal hide top.

Cat Duoduo gritted her teeth in pain, but she wouldn't allow herself to cry out. Crying out in pain would be a sign of weakness, and if she did, neither she nor her three kittens would survive.

We need to finish this quickly...

CatDodo's eyebrows twitched slightly, and it began to use its advantages to move nimbly with cat steps, focusing on defense and only expending energy to attack when it was ready.

The three cubs hid by the tree roots. Snake looked at the bloodstains on Cat Duoduo's back with complicated eyes, watching her fight desperately with Hu Feng'er.

What's wrong with this woman? Knowing her as he does, as long as she can please Leopard Fierce, she wouldn't even blink an eye if she offered up their snake gallbladders or turned them into snake soup.

Now, she's actually fighting Hu Feng'er, who's more than twice her size, to protect them.

Why didn't she run away herself?

Just then, Snake One's arm was grabbed by Snake Two, and he looked anxiously at Cat Duo Duo, who was clearly no match for him.

"Big brother, what should we do?"

Snake Three's little face was streaked with tears, and he was sobbing.

"Big brother, let's help Mother. I don't want her to be beaten to death."

Snake's eyes flickered. If she died, none of them would be a match for Hu Feng'er, and none of them would survive!

"Snake Three, stay here and don't move. We're going to help her."

Snake One whispered a few words in Snake Two's ear, and they slowly approached the two who were locked in combat from behind the tree, gathering their strength to strike.

Hu Feng'er held Mao Duoduo down tightly, her sharp claws digging into her shoulders. Mao Duoduo was not to be outdone, grabbing Hu Feng'er's wrists with both hands and biting her neck hard, as if she wanted to die together with her.

Once the snake saw its chance, it used its tail to shoot out like an arrow, and while Hu Feng'er was unable to move, it plunged the stone knife in its hand into her back.

"ah!"

Hu Feng'er felt the pain and loosened her grip on Mao Duoduo, then violently flung She Yi away. She Yi crashed into a tree trunk like a kite with a broken string, slowly sliding down and leaving a long trail of blood.

Taking advantage of the situation, Maoduoduo delivered a vicious claw strike to Hu Feng'er's chest, drawing blood and leaving a deep wound.

Hu Feng'er was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and he slunk away with his tail between his legs.

"Snake One!"

Despite the pain, Cat Duoduo rushed to Snake One and held the unconscious cub in her arms. Snake Two carried Snake Three, and the four of them went down the mountain together.

As the sun sets, their shadows overlap on the winding mountain path.

Snake Two and Snake Three followed silently behind Cat Duoduo, their voices muffled.

Why did you save us?
