In the blink of an eye, time slips away silently, like sand through your fingers.

Ace only appeared in a disheveled state when the little fox cub was able to walk.

The six little ones darted behind the mamba snake. The mamba snake's name was Xiuman. He came here by chance. Because he had been alone for a long time, he wanted to get closer to warmth.

Later, seeing that Ahri had given birth to so many cubs at once, and realizing that Ahze's combat strength was not good, he volunteered to stay and take care of these little guys.

Similarly, in the Orcish Continent, every newborn cub needs love and care.

This is why when Hughman discovered that Ahri was about to give birth, he put away his ferocity and even helped take care of Ahri.

During this time, Ahri didn't mind. With Xiuman around, the little one was more obedient.

Aze indulged and spoiled the little guys, never daring to let them bump into anything or get hurt. Xiuman, on the other hand, trained the little guys and took them everywhere.

With a powerful Hughman around, there's absolutely no need to worry about the safety of the six little ones.

Aze immediately looked at Ace, while Ahri was cutting animal hides and Xiuman's snake slough to make clothes for the cubs. Of course, the sewing was left to Aze and Xiuman, leaving Ahri with some free time.

Ace looked at the scene before him and walked towards Ahri with a somewhat aggrieved expression.

Schumacher flicked his tongue and led the six cubs back into the treehouse.

Aze stood up and said, "What are you doing here again?"

Ace crouched down beside Ahri and whispered, "Ahri, do you believe me? I really want to be with you, and I don't believe you don't want me anymore."

That day, Ace not only picked flowers to give to Ellie, but also picked extremely rare fruits to give to Ali. However, when he rushed back, Ali and Ze were gone.

His second sister also told him, "Your partner said that she suddenly realized during this time that you two are not suitable to be together after all, and she left with that male."

Why wouldn't it be suitable?

Ace couldn't understand it. He originally wanted to go after Ahri that very day to ask her directly. However, his parents locked him up, forcing him to be with a female from the tribe.

At that moment, Ace thought that Ahri might have been driven away by his parents, otherwise, if they were really not a good match, she wouldn't have traveled all the way back to the Lion Clan with him.

During this time, he went on a hunger strike to protest, but the orcs' physique was too special, and starving them for a while had little effect. It was Ellie who secretly opened the stone cave that was locking him up so that he could leave.

Ahri raised her hand and patted Ace's little head. The aggrieved little lion was really sad.

"Ace, you shouldn't have come."

"Why shouldn't I have come? Ahri, I really want to be with you."

Ace was initially happy that Ahri would pat his head, but when he heard Ahri's words, he felt very sad.

“You’re different from us. You still have family,” Ahri said gently.

At this moment, Aze spoke up, saying, "You are a warrior of the Lion Tribe, and you have so many relatives. What right do Ahri and I have to be associated with you?"

Ah Li looked up at Ah Ze, and thought to herself that this was a bit sarcastic, considering how much time had passed.

Aze noticed Ahri's gaze, turned away, and stopped talking.

Actually, Ahri's pups have all been born, and several of them can run around now, so Aze's anger had mostly dissipated. But seeing Ace again today rekindled that anger within him.

“It’s me who wanted to get involved with you, Ahri.” Ace eagerly grasped Ahri’s hand.

Seeing this, Aze stood up and said, "What about your family? They don't like weak beastmen like me and Ahri. To put it bluntly, they almost pointed their fingers at us and said we weren't worthy! Ace, please leave here."

“Aze”.

Ahri called out to Ahze.

Ace said, "I don't know any of this, Ahri. I just want to be with you. My family... they can all take care of themselves. If I leave you, I'll be so sad I'll want to die."

"Ace, don't say that. I don't like someone who talks about death all the time." Ahri quickly covered Ace's mouth with her hand.

"Then I won't say it anymore, Ahri, please don't send me away. I've made up my mind about what I'm doing here. I just want to be with you, and I'm never going back." Ace said quickly, holding Ahri's hand. "You promised me that after you gave birth to the baby for Aze, we would officially become partners, right?"

Seeing that Ace was kneeling in front of Ahri, Aze knew that this lion wasn't so easily let go, so he angrily said, "I'm going to see the cubs!"

Inside the treehouse, Xiu Man, with his sharp hearing and keen eyesight, looked in the direction of Ah Li, then glanced at the quiet little one beside him, and lowered his head, lost in thought.

Ahri looked at Ace and asked in a low voice, "Won't you regret it? Choosing me over your family?"

Ace said, "You and my family have never been a difficult choice for me. I love you, I want to be with you and have our baby. This is my choice. Although I really hope to have my family's blessing, I don't like it when they impose their will on me."

"Ah Li, please don't hate me because of my family, okay?"

As Ace spoke, he gently reached out and hugged Ahri. "Ahri, I really missed you."

Ahri listened to Ace's heartbeat and said, "Then we'll see how you perform."

Ace nodded quickly and said, "Then I'll go tidy up the treehouse, and we'll become partners in a couple of days!"
