[Cub Raising + Fluffy + Fa...
Chapter 167
Yan Ya was stunned when she saw the cubs following the breeder and Wen Yan towards the nursery building.
Even the little girl she was holding broke free from her and trotted towards the Su breeder.
Yan Ya reached out her hand subconsciously, but only touched the hem of Xiao Lihua's skirt. The little girl looked back at her, then continued running forward.
Seeing her running away, Yan Ya hurriedly stood up and followed her.
"Susu, brother, brother hasn't come back yet!"
Xiao Lihua ran to the front and said anxiously, "He just... ran... ran outside."
Su Ci nodded, "He's fine, Ran Lie found him."
Hearing this, Xiao Lihua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had witnessed the battle between the Red Flame Tigers in the red fog. Although in her eyes, her brother was the most powerful cub in the world, the big tiger did have the upper hand in the red fog.
After so much time, Xiao Lihua still remembered that Ran Lie broke 4583. Of course, she no longer had any hatred towards him, but she still didn't like Da Lao Hu.
She and her brother are lions. If they were to fully transform into beasts, they would definitely be bigger than tigers!
Xiao Lihua looked back at the door and finally decided to follow her friends. Her brother had taught her many times that she had to protect herself if he was not by her side.
Then, it is naturally safest to stay with Susu and her friends.
When she looked away, Xiao Lihua accidentally met Yan Ya's gaze. She was looking at her eagerly. Even though there were so many people present, her eyes were always on her.
The look in his eyes, which looked like he was about to cry at any moment, contained emotions too complicated for Xiao Lihua to understand.
It seems like this aunt has recognized the wrong person.
She gave Yan Ya a lovely smile, then turned to Wen Yan, staring curiously at the furry black and white ball in her arms.
It looks like the iron-eating beast on the river bank!
So this is a small iron beast?
During this half month, the cubs were not always trapped in the nursery. Occasionally, when he was free, Su Ci would take them out for a walk.
The river bank is naturally their favorite area to go to, because they find that practicing and studying by the river bank is particularly efficient.
In addition, the place is now full of green plants, and all the fruits and vegetables planted before are ripe, and Susu does not restrict them from picking them.
Of course, they can't eat that much.
They will put the picked vegetables and fruits into spirit storage bags and then exchange them with the action team for points and some other things.
But Xiao Lihua likes it there, mainly because she can see more flowers than in the green areas of the nursery, and there are also furry and super cute ferruginous animals!
She was scared at first, but soon discovered that the iron-eating beast had a very good temper.
Not only would he help her pick flowers and sweet fruits, he would also hold her up high.
After she became familiar with it, she loved to throw herself into its arms and lie on its warm and soft fur to bask in the sun. In the brilliant sunshine and cool breeze, she would soon fall asleep comfortably.
Occasionally, the iron-eating beast would carry her on its back while patrolling the riverbank and would also look for sweet nectar for her to eat.
Little Lihua loves the iron-eating beast very much!
She looked at the little iron beast in Wen Yan's arms and wanted to hug it, but everyone was walking forward with Su Su, so she was embarrassed to ask for it.
If the iron-eating beast on the river bank saw this cub, it would definitely be very happy, right?
Little Lihua felt that the iron-eating beast was quite lonely. It was alone on the riverbank, and usually no one would play with it...
While Xiao Lihua was daydreaming, she saw Susu leading them all the way to the rooftop of the nursery and arrived in front of the teleportation array.
"Susu, are we going out?" Xiao Lihua asked excitedly.
The other cubs were also visibly excited. Each one had a bright smile on their face, and their eyes were gleaming with anticipation.
Wen Yan and Yan Ya looked at each other.
They didn't understand why the breeder Su took them to the rooftop. In fact, they had been confused since they followed him into the nursery building.
After all, as far as they knew, there was only one keeper, Su Ci, in the nursery.
So who is the person who can help Sissi?
When they reached the rooftop and looked at the circular pattern on the ground, they became even more confused.
The teleportation platform is a high-tech product and looks like an ordinary round platform, so naturally the two of them don’t know what a teleportation array is.
Seeing that the cubs followed the breeder Su to stand on the picture, even Zhou Yan followed. Wen Yan looked at Yan Ya, and finally walked forward holding Xixi.
Yan Ya showed an expression that was difficult to describe.
No way?
Could it be that this pattern was meant to teleport outside? Was this the latest high-tech invention from Prison Star? But why did it look so... so much like the ancient mystical science from movies and TV series?
In the end, Yan Ya followed the crowd and stood up.
Fortunately, they both have slim figures, so this circle is not particularly big, just enough for them to stand.
While they were still curious about what would happen next, they saw the intricate patterns under their feet actually light up.
A light golden light enveloped them, and when the dazzling light faded away, Yan Ya and Wen Yan discovered that they had arrived in the suburbs.
Looking around, you can see lush greenery.
If they hadn't seen the red mist in the distance, they would have thought they had left the range of Prison Star!
Isn’t it said that Prison Star is completely shrouded in red fog?
While they were shocked and confused, the cubs had already run out of the teleportation array and engaged in their favorite activities.
Little Lihua also ran out of the teleportation array, made a trumpet shape with her hands, and shouted happily in the direction of the bamboo forest, "Zeze, come here!"
As soon as she called out, the ground shook.
In the dense bamboo forest, a black and white figure appeared, on all fours, running towards her happily.
“Bing! Bing!”
In addition to the sound of running, there are also the joyful calls of giant pandas.
Little Lihua ran towards it happily. When the giant panda came closer, she opened her arms and pounced on it, rolling into a ball with it and playing together.
The giant panda pretended to be knocked down by her, lying on its back, holding Little Lihua in its two fleshy paws and lifting her up to the sky.
Suddenly, the cheerful laughter of a little girl was heard on the river bank. The wolf cubs also gathered around and clamored for the giant panda to play with them.
Wen Yan was already standing still on the teleportation array.
Admittedly, there is more than one iron-eating beast in the galaxy, and her husband, Laizer, is not the only warrior with the blood of the iron-eating beast, but... but...
How could she possibly forget her husband's beastly nature!
Even after so many years, she still remembered the man who transformed into an iron-eating beast and stood in front of her when their planet was attacked by interstellar monsters and she was fleeing in the crowd and almost died at the hands of the monsters, taking all the danger and harm on himself.
That was their first meeting, a precious memory that she would never forget.
but……
Could it really be him? Wasn't he already dead? And if it was really her husband, Laizer, how could his beast form... have shrunk so much?
The main difference between the iron-eating beast and the ordinary giant panda is the size of the body, and other ferocious beasts are similar.
This large carnivorous beast is taller than ordinary animals.
And the giant panda in front of her was not even one-third as big as her husband's original animal form!
When Wen Yan was confused and hesitant, the panda cub that had been lying quietly in her arms suddenly struggled. Wen Yan accidentally let go of her hand and it fell to the ground.
After a hard fall, the panda cub didn't cry out in pain. After climbing up with its short legs, it ran towards the giant panda.
“Boo! Boo!”
The giant panda, who was originally playing with its cubs and immersed in joy, suddenly froze when it heard the childish cry.
It put Langze down, turned over from the ground, and looked in the direction where the childish cry came from.
When the giant panda saw the sesame ball running towards it, it seemed as if it remembered something and tears rolled down its eyes.
"Mee-mee~"
"Mee-mee~"
It made a bleating sound and ran towards the sesame ball regardless of the cubs' surprised gaze.
Finally, it actually held the little ball in its arms, as if it was holding a treasure, and a look of love and affection appeared on its furry bear face.
The panda cub calmed down in its arms and rubbed against its chest. Its affectionate look moved everyone.
"Laiser, is that you?"
Her daughter's reaction finally made Wen Yan certain that the shrunken iron-eating beast was definitely her husband who had died in the line of duty many years ago.
It must be the blood connection between the ferocious beasts that caused Xixi to react like this, because her iron-eating beast bloodline came from her father, and only her father could give her effective comfort when her bloodline went wild!
Wen Yan couldn't bear it any longer and ran towards the two giant pandas.
When she ran over, the giant panda did not dodge, it just stared at her blankly, something shattered in its mind, something was about to come out.
The thick fog that had covered its mind finally cleared up at this moment.
When the woman came to him, the giant panda opened his arms and embraced her.
“Yan…Yan…”
A hoarse and low voice sounded in Wen Yan's ears. Even though it had been so long, she recognized it the moment she heard it.
Wen Yan buried her head in the giant panda's chest and burst into tears.
Her crying voice contained too much grievance and longing, "Laizer, it's really you... You're really not dead... Wuuuuu... You're really not dead..."
Laizer held her in his arms, the chaos in his mind gradually receding, and he recalled more and more memories of his human life.
"Yan Yan...Xixi..."
He murmured the names of his wife and daughter, tears streaming down his face.
The touching scene of the family reunion made the cubs' noses ache. They had never experienced the warmth of family and did not know what this emotion was. They could only...
Xuewei's tears couldn't stop flowing from her eyes.
How she wished her parents were not dead... How she wished she could be reunited with them...
"Sister Weiwei..." Xiao Lihua's worried voice sounded.
Xuewei hurriedly wiped away her tears and looked down at her.
Although she can no longer see her parents, she should be happy that her husband and wife can still find their child.
Little Lihua patted Xuewei's hand comfortingly. She didn't understand why Xuewei had such a sad expression, nor did she understand why the giant panda and the aunt were hugging each other and crying.
"Are they family?" Xiao Lihua asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Xuewei nodded and said, "Laizer should be a fully transformed human warrior. The new iron-eating beast cub should be his child."
Yan Ya, who was standing next to her, also squatted down beside Xiao Lihua.
She said in a gentle voice, "Yes, they are a family. Aunt Laize and Aunt Wenyan are Xixi's parents."
Xiao Lihua listened to her explanation and looked at the family of three hugging each other. Her brows furrowed. When Yan Ya wanted to continue speaking, she asked doubtfully, "Mom and Dad...what is this?"
Yan Ya looked at the little girl's clear eyes and listened to her innocent tone. In an instant, her heart was broken.
