At sunset.

The clouds were draped in golden light.

A large, golden tiger carries its prey through the jungle.

Hu Shen suddenly heard the cubs whimpering.

He was now extremely sensitive to the sounds of the cubs. He raised his head and looked around, and sure enough, he saw a male not far away with two cubs at his feet.

It's gray, and looks like a cub of a gray wolf orc.

The cub's scent was somewhat familiar, very similar to the gray wolf cubs that tiger cubs often played with.

Hu Shen put down his prey and went over, intending to offer his assistance.

After all, he was the tiger cub's playmate.

However, as soon as he got close, he heard Wolf Qi angrily say that he wanted to kill the gray wolf cubs to frame him.

This... comes at a rather unfortunate time.

Wolf Qi was engrossed in his work when he suddenly felt a chill behind him.

Looking back, he saw a tiger with its jaws wide open staring at him, its gaze menacing and full of murderous intent.

Wolf Qi was startled and loosened his grip on the cub.

The tiger's fangs were covered in blood; it was terrifying!

He had no idea where it came from or why it appeared behind him.

Looking at the tiger beast's massive body and ferocious appearance, the powerful aura emanating from its body made Lang Qi's legs go weak.

"You, you stay away! I'm not afraid of you. If you come any closer, I won't be polite..."

Wolf Qi threatened as he retreated.

They even casually tossed the wolf cubs in front of the tiger, near its feet, so they could escape while the tiger ate the cubs.

wolf cub: "..."

Tiger King is the king of all beasts, capable of commanding all creatures. He possesses extraordinary bloodline and a powerful aura.

But at that moment, he was completely unaware of this.

He glanced at the wolf cub at his feet, then gently picked it up.

Yes, this is the tiger cub's playmate. If it gets hurt, the tiger cub will have no playmate in the future.

As for this gray wolf orc.

Hu Shen was pondering how to deal with him.

When Lang Qi saw the tiger with its gaping maw snapping at the wolf cub, his heart trembled violently.

have eaten!

It really was going to eat him!

Without a second thought, Lang Qi turned and ran.

He can't die here!

"Bang!"

A loud crash.

Hu Shen saw Lang Qi turn around and then crash into a tree behind him. Because of the force, he pretended to be unconscious.

Wolf Qi lay sprawled on the ground.

Seeing this, the three wolf cubs jumped onto Wolf Qi and angrily scratched his face with their claws.

He is my own father; I cannot kill him.

But he just wanted them dead, hit them! Hit them on the head!

They recently heard from Uncle Xiaofu that Aunt Tang got better after falling and hitting her head.

They'll give it a try; maybe if they hit Father on the head, Father will get better!

So that they won't have to be killed again when they wake up.

Seeing how "concerned" the wolf cubs were about their father, Hu Shen thoughtfully watched from the side without disturbing them.

While we're at it, let's think about what to do with this gray wolf orc.

Kill them outright?

It doesn't seem right, after all, he's the father of the tiger cub's playmate.

He is the King of Beasts, not the King of Slaughter.

After much deliberation, Hu Shen took Lang Qi and the three wolf cubs to the vicinity of the wooden house and placed them in the grove next to the field.

The three wolf cubs seemed to sense that Hu Shen meant no harm. Even when carried in the tiger's mouth, they were not afraid and did not struggle.

This is probably what they mean by "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

Putting down the wolf trap and the wolf cubs, Hu Shen remembered that he had forgotten to take his prey.

They turned back to retrieve their prey.

As they left, they "accidentally" stepped on Lang Qi's face a few times.

...

Seeing that the kitten was already dirty, Su Tang gave up struggling.

He also took a stone shovel and dug a pit with his dad and Daqing.

You know what, shoveling dirt can be kind of therapeutic.

They dug out the soil shovel by shovel and threw it out. Especially now that Su Tang is stronger, she doesn't feel tired at all. It even feels like playing house and digging for treasure.

Of course, you won't find any treasure.

We managed to dig up several clumps of poop that the kittens had secretly left inside.

The kittens were digging in the dirt with their paws when suddenly Da Bao's ears twitched. Its two ears drooped down, and it turned its head to look in the direction of a nearby grove of trees.

Erbao and Sanbao rushed over immediately.

The kittens are very fast; sometimes even Su Guodong and Daqing can't keep up with them.

When Su Tang turned around, the kittens had already darted into the woods.

Su Tang: "..."

Can't you just let her have some peace and quiet?

Su Tang had no choice but to follow them into the grove.

There was no other way; fearing the kittens might encounter the same dangerous situation as before, Su Tang was hesitant to let them out of her sight.

The only saving grace is that, apart from the gray wolf tribe, there are no other neighbors nearby.

Otherwise, given the destructive power of those kittens, Su Tang would probably go bankrupt from all the losses.

"Little one, come back, we'll be going home soon. You can come out to play again tomorrow, don't run around..."

The kittens are running ahead.

Su Tang chased after them.

She's been doing well in both sprinting and long-distance running lately. In the past, she would definitely have signed up for a running competition and won a prize.

We arrived at the grove.

Su Tang discovered that the kitten hadn't run far, but was instead circling around a tree.

Several familiar figures were still under the tree.

"Wolf cubs?"

As Su Tang approached, she realized that they were Wolf Nini's three cubs.

She could tell at a glance that Nini's cubs were different from the other gray wolf cubs.

The wolf cubs of Nini are strong, tall, and have glossy fur.

The other gray wolf cubs were either skinny and small, or so fat that their necks were almost invisible.
