"Wait, you don't know how at all—" The voices of Snake One and Snake Two trying to stop her were completely useless, simply because Cat Dodo was very quick and, as she said, had indeed taken care of quite a few things in the blink of an eye.

What would have taken them more than an hour to complete, Maoduoduo finished in just over half an hour.

As soon as he finished, Maoduo wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at the sky, estimated the time, and then asked Snake One and Snake Two.

What are you planning to eat for lunch?

"..."

Snake One and Snake Two exchanged a glance but did not speak immediately.

CatDodo pretended not to notice their hesitation, which made sense, considering how badly the original owner had treated them before.

She offered, "I'll go find something to eat. You guys wait for me at home."

Upon hearing this, both snakes widened their vertical pupils. Despite their cold and sinister appearance, which revealed their true forms, CatDodo found them incredibly cute.

"It's settled then. Wait for me at home, don't go anywhere."

After saying this, Maoduo chuckled and turned to run away.

"You wicked beast, you—" Are you planning to go find Leopard Fierce again?

Before Snake Two could finish speaking, Snake One interrupted him, "Let's go back first. Snake One, wait for us."

"But, brother, don't you think she has some ulterior motive?" Snake Two seemed calm, but he was still a child after all, and he couldn't help but get nervous.

The other party never liked them, thought they were disgusting, and didn't consider them their children.

If it's just dislike, the other party could have left like the other female orcs in the village, instead of choosing to stay in this house and continue to torment them.

Several times they were on the verge of death, and if their father hadn't intervened to protect them, that wicked female beastman would have sold them, still so young, to those evil creatures who prey on orc cubs...

"Whatever she's thinking, it's good that our lives are improving for now."

As they were talking, Snake One and Snake Two arrived at their doorstep.

Snake One spoke calmly, raising his hand slightly. Snake Two felt uneasy after hearing this, wanting to ask if his older brother had believed that wicked female beast.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, Snake Two caught sight of Snake Three lying where Cat Dodo had been sleeping, and immediately exploded.

"Snake Three, what are you doing? You're actually sleeping."

"Waaah, second brother, you're so noisy!"

"Shut up! How many times have I told you to keep a close eye on that guy!"

...

Listening to this conversation, Snake One sat in a chair, propped his chin on his hand, and looked up at the sky. When will the wicked female beast return?

Please don't disappoint them this time.

"Achoo! No way, have I caught a cold?"

"Orcs are clearly very strong and don't get sick easily..."

Muttering to himself, Maoduoduo thought about it and realized it made perfect sense. He then started digging for tender bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest.

The bamboo shoots were fresh and delicious this season, so Maoduo quickly braided bamboo ropes and strung them full of bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots were everywhere, and she got so caught up in digging that she didn't even realize what was happening before she had a huge pile of them.

"It seems that bamboo shoots taste better when cooked with certain ingredients..." Especially since all three of her family members are snake-people cubs with sensitive tongues.

After thinking for a moment, Maoduo went to check the nearby river. At this time, most of the fish were small and not plump enough.

She tried to suppress her cat-beastman's craving for fish, and simply scooped up some lobsters from the riverbank, picked some rapeseed flowers from nearby, and some ginger and garlic that she tried hard to identify.

Discovering all of this is nothing short of a miracle.

She hadn't expected that these things existed in the world, so it didn't mean she needed to reconsider her recipe.

This trip was incredibly rewarding.

She was carrying her things and walking towards home when, unexpectedly, there were suddenly more footprints on the road.

As they passed the fields, Maoduoduo stopped in his tracks and looked incredulously at the baskets by the field. "They're all gone. They didn't even bring their baskets."

This doesn't seem like the personality of Snake One or Snake Two.

Maoduo went over and picked up the basket, only to find some wild vegetables inside, which the two brothers had probably picked on the spot earlier.

Unexpectedly, they both disappeared.

Could something be wrong?

The thought flashed through his mind, and Maoduoduo's expression changed. He ran forward immediately.

She was a good walker, and even carrying heavy loads, she arrived on time.

At that moment, Hu Feng'er, who had a fierce conflict with a fox clan member the day before, was rudely knocking on the front door of her house. "Open the door quickly, we sometimes have to talk."

The door remained closed, and only Snake Three's trembling, tense voice could be heard: "I don't believe you. You want to take my snake gall."

"Are you looking for death? You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" Hu Feng'er's face darkened. She had to get the snake gall as soon as possible; she didn't have time to play house with these little brats.

Immediately, Hu Feng'er gave a signal, and the tiger-clan beastman who already harbored feelings for Hu Feng'er let out a long roar and transformed into his original form, a giant tiger.

He then slammed the door shut, as if he wanted to catch the kids and make them do something bad.

The two snakes inside the gate, who were desperately resisting, were also going crazy.

"Oh no, our original forms aren't very strong either." Snake Two gritted its teeth.

Snake Eyes looked gloomy and quickly instructed Snake Three to push the table and cabinet over to increase the possibility of safety.

Oh no, these serpentine beastmen are completely inept at strength. Besides, they're so young, and there aren't any adults with them.

"Mother, Mother, please come back soon!" Snake Three couldn't help but push two cabinets away, and almost burst into tears.

When Snake One and Snake Two heard this, they were about to rebuke the other party, but unexpectedly, at that moment, the tiger-clan beastman forcefully broke open the door.

Snake One and Snake Two, who were originally responsible for resisting behind the door, were unprepared and fell heavily to the ground. Only Snake Three faced Hu Feng'er and the tiger clan beastmen head-on.

The tiger-clan beastman laughed heartily, "Feng'er, are you really that scared of these few cubs?"

"I have no choice, I really need them this time. Kids, don't blame me."

After Hu Feng'er finished currying favor with the tiger-clan beastmen, she turned to look at She San, who had run to protect his two injured brothers. With a smile, she took out a knife from her waist, ready to quickly extract their snake gallbladders today.

It's a pity their father isn't here, otherwise I would definitely find a way to get my hands on that guy. He's a useless piece of trash anyway, might as well dedicate his last bit of strength to Leopard's upgrade...

Just then, a scream rang out.

People have come to our door, what else can Maoduo do to tolerate it?

She doesn't care who's in front of her; anyone who dares to harm her cubs is a bad person.

Immediately, Maoduo felt his body become much more agile. He lunged forward, catching Hu Feng'er completely off guard, and raised his hand, revealing its true form, intending to draw blood instantly with its sharp claws.
