As soon as Lin Qian floated up from the water, Tiger Mom came over and rubbed his head.
"Aww." Little one, are you tired from going out?
After not seeing her cubs for seven or eight days, the tiger mother was still worried about them. Although she knew that her cubs were already very strong and there was no danger in the forest that could threaten Lin Qian, as a mother, she would still worry about her children who went out. It was her nature.
Tiger Dad didn't say anything, but the big tiger kept rubbing Lin Qian's head with its paw.
Don't be fooled by Lin Qian's current size, which is the same as that of an adult tiger; that was an adult tiger before the earthquake.
The tiger parents were much larger than Lin Qian, especially the tiger father, who was at least twice the size of Lin Qian. When those thick tiger paws touched him, Lin Qian couldn't dodge them.
"Aww! Aww!" Daddy! I'm all grown up now! Don't hit my head!
The wet little tiger roared angrily, struggling and splashing water everywhere, but it still couldn't escape the tiger's paws.
The tiger dad smiled and rubbed his cubs, his tiger paws continuing to knead them skillfully, while a low, joyful growl escaped his throat.
Courage had already rushed over when he heard his brother's voice. Seeing the father and son splashing around in the water, the little tiger leaped over and shot over like a cannonball.

"Splash!"
"Ouch!"
The sound of water being thrown into the water rang out at the same time as Tiger Dad's muffled howl.
Courage was as fast as lightning, and Tiger Dad didn't have time to dodge before being hit hard by his cub.
Fortunately, the tiger father had extremely strong defenses and a very strong body, so he wasn't injured. However, being knocked into the water by his cub made the big tiger a little depressed.
Compared to his father's frustration, the little tiger was incredibly excited. He roared with joy and begged his father to crash into the tiger again.
The tiger dad thought about it and agreed. This time, he was prepared and would definitely not be knocked down by his cub!
This is for the sake of the Tiger King's dignity! For the sake of Father's reputation!
Courage didn't think that far ahead; the tiger cub just thought it was fun. He dashed ashore, turned around, aimed at his tiger dad, and transformed into a little cannonball once again!
Lin Qianchi swam over to Tiger Mom and Stepmother, but he didn't want to join this "parent-child game".
When the tigress saw her cubs swimming over, she slipped a rattan ball into her fluffy white paw.
Lin Qian took it and saw that there was an ice ball inside the rattan ball. A cool breeze was emanating from it, and together with the water from the pool, it was very refreshing!
"Aww!" Thank you, stepmother!
The little tiger squinted its eyes happily and rubbed against the big white tiger's neck.
The stepmother was overjoyed; knowing her cub was sensitive to heat, she immediately handed over the rattan ball she was holding.
Oh dear, all of them, including the tigers, are afraid of the heat.
Even though my stepmother has her own air conditioning, she's still felt the heat these past two days.
"Awooo!"
"Roar!"
The shouts of the father and son behind them, accompanied by the sound of splashing water, echoed from time to time under the waterfall, indicating that the parent-child game was going very well.
Lin Qian looked at the sepak takraw with some confusion. Why was ice hockey made like this?
Tiger Paw flipped it over, and it was indeed a rattan ball, the kind he had taught him to make, an improved version by the chipmunk.
Lin Qian tugged at the vine with his claws and saw that it was completely undamaged. He realized that it was a mutated vine!
It seems that while he was away, the big cats still managed to get their hands on the vines, but it looks like it's just a regular mutated vine, not the one with the flowers.
That's alright. It's a plant, it's been growing very well under the sun lately, so it's fine if it gets broken.
"Aww." Little one, you don't need to hold it, it will float up by itself.
Seeing Lin Qian holding the rattan ball, the stepmother whispered an explanation.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qian released his grip, and sure enough, the rattan ball floated on the water's surface.
The stepmother lowered her head, stretched out her paw, and then tossed the rattan ball onto the shore with a whoosh.
Lin Qian was dumbfounded. What was her stepmother doing?
Before he could even ask, the white tiger waved its hand, and the rattan ball flew back on its own.
"Winter!" The rattan ball fell into the water again, and Lin Qian watched it bobbing up and down in the ripples in silence.
Is this a new skill that my stepmother just mastered?!
Lin Qian's stepmother didn't keep him in suspense and told him that this was the effect of the vine. After the mutated vine advanced into a spiritual plant, it became very sensitive to spiritual power. As long as a little spiritual power was injected into the broken vine, it could be controlled at will.
The reason it can be retrieved remotely is because the rattan ball is infused with the stepmother's spiritual power. However, the distance cannot be too far, otherwise it will not be able to absorb the power.
It was just trying to make Lin Qian understand quickly, since explaining it was too troublesome, and the big cats didn't like to explain with words.
That's probably what they mean by "actions speak louder than words."
After her stepmother's explanation, Lin Qian became curious about the vines and the little tiger scurried ashore.
Mutant vines clung to the cliff face, their branches and leaves soaked in the small streams of water flowing down from the waterfall, shimmering with a crystal-clear emerald green light under the sunlight.
The area where the vine roots originally grew to one meter long has now grown to two meters, but the number of flowers remains unchanged at six. However, the flower buds have become much larger, each about the size of an apple.
Seeing that the flower buds were still covered by green skin, Lin Qian estimated that it would be a while before the vine flowers would bloom. Looking at the size of these flower buds, Tiger Eyes couldn't help but show a hint of anticipation. Such large flowers would surely produce large fruits.
Thinking of the delicious and highly nutritious spiritual fruit, Lin Qian's eyes lit up as she looked at the flower package.
After examining the flower bud, Lin Qian channeled his spiritual sense into the vine, and the results were no different from before.
Lin Qian thought for a moment and broke off one of the forked vines from above.
