Mother said Dongchi needs to get more sun to supplement calcium. Beiji didn't understand what calcium supplementation was, but it was probably for Dongchi's own good.

So Bei Ji helped Dong Chi to the outside of the cave.

Dong Chi couldn't open his eyes because of the sunlight. It took him a while to adjust before he said, "Bei Ji, the sun seems to have gotten a little bigger."

Bei Ji laughed heartily: "Brother, what are you talking about? How can the sun get bigger?"

Dong Chi slightly closed his eyes. They were only four years old and had never witnessed the sun growing larger. However, when he was at Xiong Rou's house, he had occasionally heard the males mention the once-in-a-decade blazing sun.

When the blazing day arrives, the sun will grow larger. Their land will also scorch from the sun's fury.

The earth is scorching hot, and the vegetation cannot bear it and bursts into flames. The cursed flames will roast large numbers of animals and orcs to death in their fury.

For the Beast World, the Blazing Sun is a catastrophic crisis.

Dong Chi lowered his eyes slightly.

Probably not.

It can't be that unlucky.

He thought.

Bei Ji was busy outside the cave, and Dong Chi would glance at him every now and then, but in the end he controlled himself from thinking about things that only adults thought about.

Bei Ji suddenly asked, "Big brother, where's second brother?"

Nan Mo has always had a low profile, and his brothers weren't worried when they couldn't find him for a while, so it was only now that Bei Ji noticed that Nan Mo wasn't home.

"He seems to have gone out." Dong Chi looked over.

"Oh." Bei Ji didn't think much of it.

Still shaken, Si Yan emerged from the nearby woods and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two little ones in front of the cave.

Although I don't understand why I'm inexplicably traveling between different places.

But the Beast World is indeed a very exciting world.

"Dong Chi, Bei Ji!" Upon seeing the two cubs in front of the cave, Si Yan excitedly went forward and hugged them.

Dong Chi frowned slightly and nudged her.

Si Yan was not discouraged and took a good look at Bei Ji.

Bei Ji was squeezed so tightly by her that he was deformed, and he mumbled, "Mother, I can't breathe."

Si Yan quickly let go of him.

Bei Ji rubbed her face and asked in a childish voice, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Si Yan laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just really missed you all."

"Where is Xiqing?" Si Yan asked again.

Bei Ji obediently replied, "Third Brother went up the mountain to find food."

Xi Qing, who had just returned to the cave after searching outside, rushed over excitedly when he saw Si Yan in front of the cave.

"Mother!"

He buried his head in her belly and wiped away the tears in front of his eyes.

He... Tyson and Woodshark rescued him, but he was terrified when he saw his mother disappear in front of him.

When he got home, he didn't dare tell his brothers, so he went to the woods alone to look for her.

She's alright, she's back.

Very good.

Si Yan patted Xi Qing's head and chuckled softly, "It's alright, Mother is back."

"Hmm..." Xi Qing sniffed and wiped away her tears.

Si Yan immediately picked up tools and started cleaning in front of the cave, saying as she worked, "You're still young, you don't need to do so much. I'll take care of you."

Dong Chi felt both puzzled and pained when he saw Xi Qing suddenly accept Si Yan.

He sneered at Si Yan: "Hypocritical."

If Dong Chi hadn't been injured, she would have punched him right now.

Both of us are first-time mothers, why should we give in to him!

Bei Ji immediately stepped forward to help, and said with a smile, "Mother, that's not how it is."

"In this world, males can only be recognized by their kind by proving their ability to work. We may be small, but we also crave recognition. So we also want to do something. Don't stop us from working. Otherwise, we'll feel useless."

Si Yan patted Bei Ji's head and said with a smile, "Little Bei Ji is so good."

Bei Ji smiled shyly.

Dong Chi found everything before him extremely jarring. He suddenly said, "Female."

"Hmm?" Si Yan turned around. This brat was calling a female, which was impolite, but there was no one else he would call her.

Dong Chi turned his head away, looked at the sky, and mockingly threatened her, "The Blazing Day is coming soon."

"Huh???" Si Yan was even more confused.

A contemptuous smile curled at the corner of Dong Chi's mouth.

If the blazing sun really comes, this female will definitely run away and leave; these little ones will only be a burden to her.

Especially him. His foot is injured, she will definitely abandon him.

They will abandon him again.

Dong Chi's laughter was filled with despair, mockery, and just as expected.

That smile etched itself into Si Yan's heart, causing a subtle, stinging sensation within her.

Although Si Yan didn't understand what Dong Chi meant by "Blazing Sun," she still went up to him and patted his head.

"Don't overthink it," Si Yan said softly. "No matter what, our family will always be together."

Dong Chi paused for a moment, his smile faded slightly, he lowered his head slightly, and snorted.

...

The news of Nan Mo and Xiong Rou falling off the cliff only came in the evening.

When a female dies, her male companions will suffer a fatal blow due to their partnership contracts.

The males in Xiong Rou's family all suffered severe injuries and were almost on the verge of death.

Because of this, the village was even more certain that Xiong Rou was dead.

That night, it rained heavily.

Si Yan was stunned when she heard the news. She led Xi Qing and Bei Ji to search for a long time on the other side of the cliff.

The rain grew heavier, soaking Si Yan and Xi Qingbei Ji.
