The cubs then saw the eagles drinking tea.
She was puzzled. They didn't seem to have suffered any losses. Her mother still cared about them, but didn't love her anymore.
"Do you think it's wrong for me to be angry?" CatDodo's voice suddenly rose a few decibels.
Both Serpent Rong and Gal, who were working, paused and subconsciously looked over, waiting for the other's instructions.
"No, no!" Snake said cleanly.
Snake Two begins to build connections, implying that everything was an accident.
Snake Three said pitifully, "Mother, we are still just cubs. Isn't it too strict of you to place such high demands on us?"
That's absolutely true.
However, the person who spoke was someone that CatDodo couldn't forget in a short time...
She rubbed her forehead and simply said, "If you all say that, what about the future? I have high expectations for you, and that is to hope that you can become more powerful orcs, instead of just shirking responsibility and passing the buck to others, while failing to cut your own mistakes."
Her face was grim, and it seemed that something was very wrong.
At least, the cubs saw this, and their throats bobbed, but they couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Seeing their expressions, Maoduo stopped what she was doing and instead raised her hand to touch their faces, now with 100% seriousness.
“I don’t want you to become an irresponsible orc.”
"Your future will be longer than we imagine. We're telling you some things in advance, and it's always better than the outside world using excessive means to suppress you and for you to grow up earlier."
There's something that Maoduoduo never said.
If this isn't dealt with quickly now, I'm afraid no one will be able to protect the cubs in the future. When that time comes, won't he go insane from seeing too many cub corpses?
The snake cubs pursed their lips, clearly not having an easy time.
Seeing this, Ying Kai stepped forward and said, "Actually, it's okay, you don't need to worry about it."
Upon hearing this, some of the cubs immediately showed expressions of relief, clearly believing that they had escaped a calamity.
But here's the problem: CatDodo doesn't think they can easily escape blame this time...
"Listen, although I'm taking the punishment for you this time, you still have tasks that you must complete."
Mao Duoduo spoke rather forcefully, while Ying Kai helplessly stroked his chin.
Goodness, he always felt that this would attract the attention of the little ones.
But at this moment, when Ying Kai looked closely, he realized that the cubs didn't seem to care at all, and he felt that everything before was just a dream.
Upon seeing CatDodo's appearance, SerpentGar revealed a thoughtful expression.
The kittens found Cat Duo Duo to be easy to talk to, even though the other party was arguably the most difficult person among them to deal with...
"I'm punishing you all to do at least ten chores for me, ten chores each, and no one can escape." Cat Duoduo squinted slightly, and her serious expression startled the cubs, but they thought it was no big deal and nodded in agreement.
CatDodo smiled happily: "Okay, it's up to you guys now."
As she said this, she clapped her hands and said, "The first task is to punish you by making you collect these fruits. You must have this many."
Mao Duoduo pointed to the vessel, then to the fruit.
The cubs didn't take it seriously at all and were about to set off, each pulling their little bamboo baskets.
CatDodo specifically reminded them before they set off that each person needed their own individual container. Even so, the kittens didn't take it seriously.
"Alright, Snake Rong, could you please go and keep an eye on them? Make sure nothing happens to them."
"Um."
Watching the Serpent Rong leave, Gal couldn't sit still any longer and said with a hint of grievance, "What about me?"
Seeing this, Maoduo almost thought she had done something wrong, but hearing the meaning behind the other person's words, she curved her lips into a smile:
"Are you bored too?"
"Um!"
Gal had just nodded when he realized something was wrong. CatDodo's words sounded dangerous.
At this moment, Maoduoduo cracked her knuckles, a dangerous glint in her smile, and slowly said, "Don't worry, you and Sherong will both get your turn."
Gal: "..." Oh no, this looks like there's a big problem.
This time, Ying Kai sat down next to Mao Duoduo, and said with some concern, "Isn't this too harsh on the cubs?"
"Really?" CatDodo raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then how does your clan treat its cubs?"
Ying Kai thought for a moment and tried to say, "When they were little, they were spoiled and raised, and kept by my side as much as possible to prevent them from being eaten by dangerous predators. When their wings were almost grown, I would send them to a high mountain and push them off to teach them to fly."
CatDodo's lips twitched. Good heavens, the stories I heard in modern times were indeed true.
She said quietly, "See? Your eagle clan isn't exactly gentle with its cubs either."
Ying Kai moved his lips, wanting to say that wasn't the case, but his gaze inevitably drifted to this incident, causing him to hesitate for a moment.
Maoduoduo shrugged. "Sigh, that's the principle of natural selection."
"Indeed, I love the cubs very much, but they've done something like this this time. If I don't punish them severely as soon as possible to teach them that some things can't be done recklessly, what will I do if they do something even more outrageous in the future and offend some dangerous people..."
This is also what Maoduoduo fears and is afraid of.
In modern times, there are laws and regulations that can restrain people from having dangerous thoughts to some extent.
But things are different now. In the orc world, the strong rule.
She only wanted to see her cubs alive and well, not to witness them die one by one, without even knowing who was responsible...
Ying Kai moved his lips, but ultimately gave up speaking.
Okay, so it seems this is the difference in parenting. Dodo is definitely a good female.
Gal, who was standing to the side, listened thoughtfully. His original intention to speak up for the cub had vanished, and now all he could think of were the words "survival of the fittest" that CatDodo had said.
The principle of 'survival of the fittest' certainly seems dangerous and unsettling.
But it also unexpectedly suits them well. Cat Duoduo sometimes looks very soft and gentle, but when she really gets ruthless, she can be more decisive than anyone else.
To check the results of the punishment for the cubs, Maoduo and his group waited patiently for a while.
As dusk approached, the cubs returned, panting, each carrying a small bamboo basket on their back. They looked filthy, making one wonder if they had done something terrible.
