Chapter 11: Changes in Attitude towards Qiu Xing
Looking again, there were still oil stains on her lips, which were flickering in the dim light of the cave, making her look like a thief who had stolen ointment and had not wiped her mouth yet. It was very funny.
At this time, Qiu Xing came over calmly, holding a piece of animal skin in his hand, like a professional cleaning master.
He wiped it gently and the oil stain was gone.
The movement was so skillful that Xia Yueke's eyes widened as she watched from the side.
She thought to herself:
"My father, Chu Qingchen, is truly an amazing creature. Seeing this scene, he isn't feeling jealous? If it were me, I'd probably be so pissed that my tail would be raised in the air!"
Especially when sleeping at night, the three of us squeeze together, the scene is so unbearable to imagine.
Xia Yueke felt that this was even more difficult than unlocking the secrets of those runes!
She looked at Wuya as if she were looking at a fairy with magical powers, and she kept wondering in her heart:
"How did Wuya manage to deal with these two grown men? Is there some secret technique? If I could learn it, maybe I could dominate this entire den of foxes!"
As she thought about it, a cunning light flashed in her little eyes and her little nose twitched, which was very cute.
In the following days, Xia Yueke lived the same life as before. Her daily routine was eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating. Her life was as monotonous as if it were cast under a cycle magic.
But now she is a little different from before.
Her little claws scratched and scratched on the animal-skin bed, crawling over every inch of it, from one end to the other, and then from the other end to this end, as if she wanted to study the bed thoroughly.
But now there is a big problem in front of her, and she still doesn't dare to go down to the ground.
This animal skin bed is several feet above the ground. In Xia Yueke's eyes, this height is like a cliff, which makes her hesitate.
Once, Xia Yueke was having a great time playing on the animal skin bed.
She chased her own tail and then swatted imaginary bugs like a little lunatic full of energy.
As a result, she was too happy and ended up in sorrow. She didn't notice that she had reached the bed. Her little paw slipped and her whole body tilted towards the bed.
Her big round eyes suddenly widened with fear, and her little mouth opened wide, letting out a terrified "wow".
Her little paws waved frantically in the air, trying to grab something to steady her body, but there was only soft animal skin around her and she couldn't hold on at all.
She felt like a light leaf, falling straight towards the ground, so fast that it made her dizzy.
At this time, Chu Qingchen went out hunting, and Wu Ya was not in the cave.
Wu Ya seemed to be tortured by the fox smell on her body. She kept shouting that she wanted to take a shower and ran faster than a rabbit.
There was no other choice but Qiuxing had to stay and take care of these naughty cubs.
Speaking of which, Xia Yueke and Qiu Xing didn't spend much time together, so she always had a little knot in her heart.
She always felt that this guy, who was considered the "second-father beast", had no good intentions towards these cubs, after all, they were not his own children.
In her little head, she even thought Qiu Xing might be hoping that they would have some small accidents.
Just when Xia Yueke felt that she was going to fall flat on her face and have a hard and close contact with the ground.
Suddenly, a big hand reached out like lightning.
It turned out to be Qiu Xing. He had been paying attention to the movements of the cubs.
He grabbed Xia Yueke steadily with his hand, and the movement was as fast as the wind, accurate and steady.
At this time, Xia Yueke was already as big as Qiu Xing's two palms, and she was a little heavy to hold.
Xia Yueke, who was rescued, had her chest heaving violently and her heart was still beating wildly.
She blinked her big eyes and looked at Qiu Xing with some shock, her little nose twitching.
After Qiu Xing fished Xia Yueke out, he looked at her frightened little face, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
He gently placed Xia Yueke on the inner side of the animal hide bed, with a hint of reproach and more doting in his eyes, and whispered:
"Little guy, you are so naughty. It's so dangerous here. What if you fall down and get hurt?"
His voice was low and magnetic, slowly echoing in the cave.
In fact, when Qiu Xing saw Xia Yuke crawling around on the animal skin bed, he had been paying attention to her.
This kid is never at peace for a moment.
Looking at her small figure moving around on the animal skin bed, sometimes crawling to one end and sometimes crawling to the other, Qiu Xing felt both amused and a little worried.
He knew that the cubs were curious about the world and this was their way of exploring, but it was too dangerous. If something went wrong, how would he explain to Wu Ya and Chu Qingchen?
So since he accepted the task of looking after the cubs, he has been staying by their side.
Xia Yueke shrank her neck, with some fear in her little eyes, but when she heard Qiu Xing's words, she felt a little embarrassed.
She scratched her head with her little paws, and her ears drooped slightly. Her little look as if she had done something wrong made Qiu Xing couldn't help laughing out loud.
Qiu Xing stretched out his finger, gently tapped Xia Yueke's little head, and said:
"Don't be so naughty next time. Play here obediently."
After saying that, he took out a small animal bone toy from the side and handed it to Xia Yueke.
He had made it specially for the cubs a few days ago, and it had some simple patterns engraved on it.
Xia Yueke looked at the toy in front of her and her eyes suddenly lit up.
She stretched out her little paws to take the toy and started playing with it in her hands. The thrill just now seemed to be forgotten in an instant.
Qiu Xing watched her concentrating on playing with toys and sat quietly by the side.
From then on, Xia Yueke's opinion of Qiu Xing began to change. She no longer thought that Qiu Xing was the "second father beast" who disliked them.
After that, every time she saw Qiu Xing, Xia Yueke would run over happily and rub against his feet, just as intimately as she treated Chu Qingchen and Wu Ya.
Qiu Xing didn't know what the little girl was thinking, he just felt that she seemed to be much more enthusiastic towards him.
From then on, Xia Yueke also began to secretly observe Qiu Xing.
She found that he and Chu Qingchen seemed to get along very harmoniously and never quarreled over Wu Ya.
Moreover, Xia Yueke actually saw a magical scene, that is, Qiu Xing knew magic!
When Qiu Xing was cooking, the fire would burst out directly from his palms and then ignite the firewood!
Xia Yuke was shocked and ran over quickly, circling Qiu Xing several times.
Qiu Xing was very puzzled when he saw the little female cub's appearance.
Finally, Xia Yuke sniffed Qiu Xing's palm, and Qiu Xing roughly understood what she meant.
"Little female! This is the ability of the father beast, and it is also a gift from the beast god! Every beastman has his or her own abilities, and you will definitely have them when you transform, little cub!"
Xia Yueke’s eyes widened. Is it so powerful?
Why has she never seen Wu Ya and Chu Qingchen use it!
Qiu Xing watched Xia Yuke point her little paws at Wu Ya and Chu Qingchen not far away, and he immediately understood what she meant.
"Everyone's abilities are different, and it depends on talent. Chu Qingchen's ability is using water, and Wu Ya's ability seems to be the fox clan's ability to hide, but she doesn't usually hunt, so she rarely uses it."
Xia Yueke nodded, indicating that she understood. If that was the case, she would be even more excited and look forward to the day when she could transform, preferably with an invincible power!
