Cat Duoduo would deliberately seek out Snake Rong to play the bad cop, scaring the snake cubs together, barely managing to keep the training of the children going.

Snake Rong focused intently on his role as both hunter and protector. If it weren't for the fact that several times Cat Duo Duo woke up to find him sitting not far away, she would have suspected that Snake Rong hadn't followed her this time.

On the contrary, Gal seemed to really enjoy watching Dodo the cat interact with the kittens.

Just as CatDodo was about to get angry at the snake cubs again and was about to teach them a lesson, she glanced over unintentionally and, by sheer coincidence, saw Gal looking in the direction the snake cubs had run off with a hint of envy in his eyes…

envious?

Cat Duoduo sat down behind him and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Gal withdrew his gaze, looking at her with a complex smile on his face. "I suddenly thought of my past interactions with my mother."

“Back then,” CatDodo stroked her chin, unable to help but imagine how adorable little Gal would have been, and finally sighed from the bottom of her heart, “I really envy your mother, who could hold such a cute you.”

In modern films, white tiger cubs seem to be incredibly cute, and countless netizens can't help but call them "cute gods."

CatDodo's smile remained unchanged until she saw Gal's downcast expression. "What's wrong?" she asked worriedly, instinctively taking his hand.

Gal moved his lips, looking at CatDodo's hand, many images flashed through his mind, and he tried to say, "My father is actually the city lord of White Tiger City."

Upon hearing this, Maoduo's eyes widened in surprise.

What the other party said next shocked CatDodo even more.

Gal: "My father was a good man. He worked hard to govern the city well, but he was killed. I was rescued by you while I was fleeing, and I escaped death. My mother, on the other hand, was captured by the new city lord."

He lowered his eyes, and when Maoduo heard this, her heart ached, and she couldn't help but comfort him, "I'm sorry, I didn't think of any of this."

"It's alright, it's all in the past." He looked at his hands and murmured, "I never thought I would go back one day."

Regardless, he still needed to figure out the reason for his physical abilities, and why he possessed the power to protect the cat.

Seeing the person acting this way, Maoduo felt worried. Only after the other person left upon hearing the commotion did she realize the crucial point. "Wait a minute, I should have asked Gal about his relationship with his birth mother. I have a feeling something's wrong here..."

Unconsciously, Gal was deliberately avoiding topics that had more to do with his mother.

Could it be that there is some conflict between them?

Before Maoduoduo could say anything, they were urged to continue their journey, mainly because it was about to rain heavily and they needed to reach the large cave.

Just as Maoduo and his group arrived at the cave and began preparing to cook, a heavy rain started pouring down outside, making them feel truly dangerous and uncomfortable.

The rain lasted for a long time, and while cooking, Maoduo was thinking about what to do.

But she never expected that the snake cubs were quite resourceful, constantly creating opportunities for her to have more contact with the snake warriors...

In the end, the snake cubs also tried to pretend to have a stomachache, hoping to get the snake warrior to sleep in the same cave as them.

CatDodo's face darkened, and she gave the snake cubs a few freshly baked chestnuts without any politeness. "Sorry, I'm taking them to bed."

"Alright." She Rong's reaction was indifferent, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.

What a strange guy...

Without thinking much, Maoduo quickly ran back to chat with the snake cubs deep inside the cave.

She Rong only left after watching her figure completely disappear.

This time, he sat at the cave entrance, gazing at the rain outside, then glanced at his hand, his expression inscrutable. She seemed to have just held his hand.

"Hey kids, do you know what you're doing?"

"Don't think that just because you're little brats, I won't dare to mess with you."

...

CatDodo hates naughty kids the most.

In both my past and present lives, I've always been the type who can't stand unruly kids. So what if they're children? Does that mean children can get special treatment anytime, anywhere?

That's why, although she doted on the snake cubs, she also rewarded and punished them in a balanced way, letting them know that she wasn't just a mother who would spoil her children.

The snake cubs were forced deep into the cave by her. They pouted, lowered their heads in grievance, and raised their hands in unison, obediently making a gesture of approval.

"Mother, we...we don't want you to abandon Father."

"Yes, it's not easy for Daddy to come. We should be a family."

"If Mother doesn't want Father anymore, then she'll end up like the other females in the village. Once she finds another male, she'll find Father unattractive and might even stop wanting us..."

Hearing these words from the cubs, about striving to improve their father's female competitiveness, Cat Duoduo's lips twitched.

Are you kidding me? Is male competitiveness really this advanced these days?

She clearly just wanted to raise a few harmless cubs, at least to make herself feel a little better...

"Never mind, go to sleep now, don't do these pointless things." Cat Dodo became tyrannical for a moment, but only after the cubs sniffled pitifully and fell asleep in her arms did she whisper, "No matter who I'm with, you are all my children."

That's right, whether she acknowledges this father or not, she's going to keep the baby!

The cubs widened their eyes upon hearing this, wanting to speak, but were all forced to go to sleep by the cat, Duoduo.

Soon, the mother and her children also fell asleep.

The cave entrance has two forks. Serpent Rong and Gal occupy one on the left and one on the right respectively, ready to confront any enemies and lead Cat Duo Duo away in time.

While Serpent Rong closed his eyes to rest, his aura gradually decreasing, Gal pursed his lips, still looking at his hands.

He tried to recall the feeling of becoming a five-striped beastman, but the memories couldn't offer him much help...

what is going on.

It rained all night, but fortunately everyone was able to fall asleep without any problems.

The next morning, Maoduo and his group packed their things and set off on their journey to leave.

On the way, Maoduoduo was still calculating his inventory, thinking that if he didn't reach White Tiger City soon, he would have to set aside a day for hunting.

Unexpectedly, when Gal was still a kilometer away, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly reverted to his original form, running off in one direction.

"Garr!" Cat Dodo, unaware of the situation, saw Snake Rong revert to his original form and had Snake Cub hug him, saying, "There's trouble ahead, let's hurry on our way."

"good."

CatDodo did as instructed, only to find a scene of utter chaos upon arriving at White Tiger City...
