"Mother..." Bei Ji seemed to realize that she had caused trouble. She flicked her tongue and tried to turn back.
However, at that moment, Si Yan struggled to open her arms and hugged the baby snake in front of her.
"Mother..." Bei Ji, held in his arms, was deeply moved.
Si Yan is terrified of snakes. In previous years, if they accidentally transformed into their beast forms and Si Yan saw them, they would inevitably get a beating.
He had already mentally prepared himself to be beaten and scolded.
He never expected that Si Yan would actually hug him in his snake-like form!
Si Yan swallowed hard, suppressing her fear of the mollusks, and said, "Mother is very scared. But Mother will get used to you."
Bei Ji's heart pounded, and he couldn't help but snuggle into Si Yan's arms, making Si Yan even stiffer.
Xi Qing was so shocked by what she saw that her mouth dropped open. Even Nan Mo, who was hiding in the corner, appeared behind the cave and watched them without anyone noticing.
Si Yan's voice trembled: "Bei Ji, which form do you usually prefer to use?"
Bei Ji hissed in Si Yan's ear, "When I was a baby, I preferred the snake shape."
They are still little ones and prefer their animal forms, but because transforming into their animal forms would frighten Si Yan and result in her scolding and beatings, they have reduced their animal forms to a few times.
Si Yan touched Bei Jixue's beautiful white scales and said in a trembling voice, "If you like the beast form, then use the beast form. Although Mother is very scared, Mother will try her best."
Hearing this, Bei Ji boldly tried it out. His snow-white snake tail wrapped around Si Yan's waist, and his snow-white head flicked its tongue in front of Si Yan.
Si Yan was terrified. Her face was pale and her heart was pounding so hard that she felt like she could become the next Xu Xian.
She started mindlessly hypnotizing herself: "Don't be afraid, it's my baby, it's my own baby!"
Bei Ji's forked tongue suddenly moved closer, licked her face, and then boldly kissed her.
Immediately afterwards, Si Yan was stunned and collapsed to the ground.
She's terrified of snakes, really terrified.
Bei Ji immediately transformed into human form and said nervously, "Mother, Mother! Did I scare you? I'm sorry!"
Si Yan looked at the cave ceiling, touched her heart which had been startled, and rubbed her forehead, saying helplessly, "Bei Ji, put on your new animal skin skirt."
Bei Ji hurriedly put on her animal skin skirt.
Si Yan once again felt that there was still a long way to go in her relationship with the children.
Bei Ji realized he had done something wrong and frightened Si Yan. He stood apologetically in front of Si Yan and said, "Mother, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
He was so eager to get close to his female mother that he took a bold step and unexpectedly startled Si Yan.
“…It’s alright.” Si Yan patted Bei Ji’s head to comfort him, then said to Xi Qing, “Xi Qing, come here.”
Xi Qing reluctantly stepped forward. Si Yan took out another animal skin skirt, took off Xi Qing's animal skin skirt, and put the other animal skin skirt on Xi Qing.
Xi Qing was stunned, standing there in disbelief, and said, "This animal skin skirt was made for me?"
Si Yan nodded: "Yes, I marked your and Bei Ji's animal skin skirts on the animal tooth buttons. Although your animal skin skirts are very similar, Bei Ji's animal skin skirt has the character 'Bei' engraved on it, while yours has the character 'Xi' (west) on it."
Xi Qing couldn't read. When he saw the snow-white animal skin skirt wrapped around his body, his expression was complicated. He pursed his lips and said, "Female, I've clearly treated you badly, so why did you make me an animal skin skirt?"
Si Yan reached out to pat Xi Qing's head, but Xi Qing immediately stepped back to avoid her hand. He was about to take off his animal skin skirt.
Si Yan looked at her hand dangling in the air.
That's enough.
"It looks pretty good. Don't take it off, or you won't get dinner!" Si Yan said while cleaning up the mess.
Xi Qing paused, then awkwardly raised her head.
He didn't want it, but she forced it on him. It wasn't something he insisted on.
"I'll go make dinner for you," Si Yan said.
Si Yan went to prepare dinner, while Xi Qing sat silently in the corner, his hands hidden under his new animal skin skirt, constantly stroking it.
When Si Yan gave Bei Ji the animal skin skirt, he was so envious. After she gave him one, his heart started pounding wildly, and he didn't understand why.
The snow-white animal skin skirt was so much nicer than his previous stiff, worn-out animal skin skirt; it was soft and comfortable.
He touched the "西" character carved on the animal tooth. He didn't know what the symbol meant, but the bad female had said it was the character "西".
Nan Mo felt a little strange. When he turned back from the cave entrance, he noticed that Dong Chi on the bed had opened his eyes and the two little ones were looking at each other.
Nan Mo didn't understand why Bei Ji suddenly sided with Si Yan, nor did she understand why Si Yan made animal skin skirts for Xi Qing and Bei Ji, and even made them by hand.
Is it because they are unworthy that the bad females are nice to Bei Ji and the others, but not to them?
Nanmo looked at her two younger brothers' animal skin skirts with a touch of envy.
Dong Chi opened his eyes briefly, then quickly closed them again. He bit his lip and buried his head in the animal hide.
In the evening, Si Yan made a big pot of stir-fried lettuce with sliced meat, then reheated the bone broth from before, and then took the kids out for dinner.
Dong Chi also woke up, and his condition seemed to have improved a lot. Bei Ji held a bowl for him, but he didn't want to be forced to eat by Si Yan anymore, so he could only obediently eat slowly by himself.
After finishing their meal, Bei Ji diligently washed the dishes and pots, while Si Yan started boiling water and filtering the drinking water.
After boiling the water, Si Yan poured out half a bucket of bathwater and looked at Xi Qing: "Xi Qing, come and take a bath."
