Chapter 9 Blessing? Trial is almost the same

As soon as Xia Yueke landed, she looked around curiously, scratched the smooth stone table with her little paws twice, and felt full of novelty about this new environment.

Qian Huaiyuan looked at the lively Xia Yueke on the stone platform, and a hint of kindness unconsciously appeared in his eyes.

He looked at Qian Jingyao with a smile and said jokingly in a gentle voice, "This little brat is so cute."

Qian Jingyao just nodded slightly, but his eyes remained on Xia Yueke.

At this moment, the cubs on the stone platform began to chase each other, and Xia Yueke was also attracted over.

Her chubby little body tilted slightly, and with excitement on her face, she ran towards the cubs on her chubby little legs, swaying from side to side, like a furry little ball rolling.

Qian Jingyao, who was standing aside, kept staring at Xia Yueke, his eyes moving with her movements, with worry in his eyes.

When he saw Xia Yueke staggering towards the cubs who were chasing and playing, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly, and his stern face softened.

But at the same time, he was worried that Xia Yueke would get hurt while playing. His brows furrowed slightly, and his hands unconsciously raised slightly, as if he wanted to support her as soon as she fell.

Just then, a fox cub came slowly over with its short legs.

Its furry little body twisted and turned like a furry little ball rolling on the ground.

Its tail is slightly raised and sways gently as it moves, like a small whisk.

After it approached Xia Yueke, it first slightly raised its little head, and its little nose trembled gently in the air, sniffing the surrounding air gently, as if detecting whether there was any dangerous smell around.

Then, it slowly lowered its head, put its little nose close to Xia Yueke, and sniffed carefully.

Its movements were extremely gentle, with the tip of its nose almost brushing against Xia Yueke's fur, and every subtle movement was full of caution.

When the fox cub put its little nose close to Xia Yueke, she was stunned at first, blinking her little eyes, as if a little surprised by this sudden action.

But soon, the surprise in her eyes was replaced by curiosity.

She tilted her little head and stood quietly, letting the fox cub sniff her body. She looked so cute and adorable.

Her little tail also swayed unconsciously, as if responding to the fox cub's curiosity.

This little fox actually thinks this cub is cute and wants to pet it. What should she do?

The soft appearance made her want to stretch out her little paws to touch it, just like those people petting cats. Once this idea came into her mind, it spread wildly in her heart like vines and could not be shaken off.

Unfortunately, Xia Yueke was unable to perform this difficult move in her current condition, so she had no choice but to give up.

Just when Xia Yueke sighed.

Not far away, a female came over, holding a cub. She was well-proportioned, of medium height, and dressed in a common dark brown animal skin.

Her hair was simply tied behind her head. It was an ordinary black color, looked a little dry and had no luster. A few strands of hair hung loosely on both sides of her cheeks.

She was very careful in holding the cub, apparently afraid of waking it up.

Clan leader Qian Huaiyuan frowned slightly and quickly raised his voice and said:

"An Li, why are you so slow? Look, the other kids are already here, only you're missing!"

Enri looked helpless, and replied with a hint of apology in her voice:

"Chief, I'm not being slow on purpose. Look, my little female cub is asleep. If she were to wake up, it would be a disaster. She would definitely make a lot of noise. I've been very careful all the way here."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and glanced tenderly at the sleeping little female cub in her arms, her eyes full of doting.

An Li gently carried the female cub in her arms to the empty platform next to Xia Yueke.

Xia Yuke quickly moved to the side. She didn't want to wake the cub up. Looking at her mother's condition, there would definitely be some trouble if she woke up.

Xia Yueke is most afraid of trouble.

Just as Xia Yueke moved, a wizard behind them raised his hand.

Suddenly, the ancient runes around the stone platform shone brightly, and the brilliant lights intertwined and entangled with each other, quickly forming a colorful light curtain.

The cubs were caught off guard and were stunned by this sudden change. They stood there in a moment, their eyes full of fear.

Xia Yueke's petite body suddenly stiffened, her big furry ears instantly pressed back, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

Her big eyes, like black gemstones, were wide open, reflecting the colorful light curtain and the ferocious light and shadow creatures. Her little nose kept twitching slightly and her breathing became rapid.

She turned around quickly and hid behind a stone pillar as quickly as possible.

Her soft little body pressed tightly against the stone pillar, trying to get a sense of security from the cold stone pillar, and her little body couldn't stop shivering.

Oh my god! What is that, magic?

Although Xia Yueke found this scene magical, fear still overcame curiosity.

After all, she is now "powerless"!

If she really encountered danger, she would be waiting for death...

Seeing this, Qian Jingyao frowned suddenly, a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously wanted to rush over to protect her.

However, clan leader Qian Huaiyuan quickly reached out to stop him, his expression extremely serious, and he said in a solemn tone:

"This is the ancient light of trial, which is of great benefit to the growth of the cubs. We cannot interfere with it at will."

Qian Jingyao bit his lower lip tightly, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white, his eyes were full of worry, and he stared at Xia Yueke without relaxing for a moment, as if she would disappear if he glanced away.

At this moment, those strange creatures transformed by the light of trial appeared.

They bared their fangs and claws, looked ferocious and terrifying, and pounced on the cubs with roars.

The cubs were so frightened that they huddled together tightly, crying and screaming.

Although Xia Yueke was also full of fear, her bright big eyes revealed a spirit of not giving up.

She slightly arched her body, like a small spring ready to explode, and her tiny claws scratched the ground restlessly, leaving a few shallow marks on the ground.

Her big fluffy tail also stood up at this moment, and the originally soft and smooth hair was a little frizzy, showing her nervous and determined state.

She was seen standing bravely in front of her group of brothers, and her small figure looked extremely determined at this moment.

She howled at the creatures of light and shadow. Although the sound was childish, it was full of power, as if she was giving herself courage, or as if she was demonstrating to the monsters.

This astonishing scene stunned the surrounding orcs. They opened their eyes wide, their faces full of disbelief.
