No matter how much bloodshed and chaos erupted outside, everything remained tranquil for Shen Qianyu.
He carried the child into a low-key, all-black sedan with sleek lines, and drove back to the palace in the bitter cold of winter.
When the cubs woke up, they found themselves out of the barren primeval forest and back in a populated area.
And it's not just populated.
He never imagined that his father would live in such a grand place.
The cities of the orc world are incredibly well-developed and aesthetically pleasing. Palaces built hundreds of years ago still serve as the king's residence. Besides being fully equipped, they also showcase the artistic talents of the orc world; even minimalist styles are imbued with a chilling aura.
The first thing the cub saw when it woke up was the beast-like skeleton of the previous king hanging on the wall. It was a little frightened and turned to look for its father.
Just then, Shen Qianyu pushed open the door and came in.
A deep, masculine voice rang out: "Awake?"
Because the cub was drowsy from hunger and due to the environment, although the cub noticed that his father was handsome, he did not notice the extraordinary temperament that his father exuded.
Only now can he see his father's current appearance clearly.
Shen Qianyu looked to be in his thirties or forties, but he didn't have the greasy and out-of-control look that older men often have. Instead, he was tall and straight with a sharp gaze. His hair was combed back, revealing a well-defined face with deep, mysterious, and noble features.
He wasn't wearing any fancy court attire, but rather a commanding black suit coat, with thumb rings symbolizing power on his large hands as he leaned on his cane.
Mature, elegant, sharp, and reliable, Shen Qianyu embodies the sexiness and strategic acumen of a mature man.
According to the wishes of these high-ranking officials, the Shen family's genes and the king's power should be passed down, and the king should find someone to bear an heir and raise him to be an excellent successor.
However, Shen Qianyu has never intended to marry someone else and have children.
Since snakes are cold-blooded animals, how could they be lenient with their own offspring?
But now, he's gotten himself into trouble.
Shen Qianyu walked up to the cub, his eyes lit up when he saw the cub wagging its non-existent tail, looking even more like a puppy than a dog.
"Daddy, hug me!"
The little one whined sweetly.
Every time the cubs approached him, he was startled by their fragility.
So he could only watch the puppies circling around him, calling out "Daddy, Daddy" incessantly. Vision was a short-legged dog that wagged its tail like a flower whenever it looked at him.
"I am not your father."
Shen Qianyu stated the facts and reached out to catch the cub to prevent it from falling off the bed.
The baby doesn't care; Dad caught him, so how can he not be Dad? All new dads are like this: confused, lost, and struggling, then they accept their fate—no, they fall in love with their baby.
However, Shen Qianyu seemed to have never been fooled by the cub from beginning to end. Even now, when he helped the cub, it looked like he was doing charity, helping a homeless little stray to prevent the cub from dying alone in the cold wind and rain.
As for other emotions, it's impossible to tell whether they exist or not.
However, the cub is also stubborn.
Once he's chosen a father, that's who he is. No matter what Shen Qianyu's attitude is, it can no longer hurt the cub's invulnerable heart.
The cub cherishes every encounter.
Therefore, he always expresses all his sincerity and enthusiasm.
Shen Qianyu refused to acknowledge him as her child, so he stubbornly continued to rub against her hand, hugging her and calling her "Dad."
Shen Qianyu remained unmoved and put the cub back on the bed.
The cub was struck dumb: What?!
Zai Sheng encountered his first Waterloo.
There are actually people who can resist a spoiled child!
Even the cub couldn't help but question himself. Clearly, his one move had won over all four small worlds, and there wasn't a single person who wasn't completely infatuated with him.
But alas! Shen Qianyu didn't react at all!
Is it because he's not cute?
The boy rubbed his round face, trying to make it even rounder, then continued to hold onto Shen Qianyu's hand, turning over so his father could touch his belly.
"My little one loves you~?"
The cubs continued their loving attacks.
Shen Qianyu's golden snake eyes lingered for a moment on the cub's soft cheeks before she coldly withdrew her hand.
The cub is about to cry.
"dad……"
If pleading doesn't work, the cub with tears in its eyes is even more effective.
However, Shen Qianyu still told him, "I'm not your father, but I will help you find your father."
cub: ...
The cub burst into tears.
She cried so hard, so miserably, so uncontrollably, her tears a veiled protest against her wooden father.
Wooden Dad Shen Qianyu was still a little confused as to why the cub was crying all the time.
This cub is not only fragile and requires meticulous care, but it also has high emotional needs. Any beastman who comes here would probably raise the cub to the point of depression and death.
Even Shen Qianyu was getting a headache from the baby's crying.
He had never even raised an orc cub, let alone a human cub like this.
Shen Qianyu's assistant finally arrived upon hearing the commotion, accompanied by a doctor who was an expert in various orc medical fields.
It is said that he also studied ancient anthropology.
The doctor was clearly a warm and kind golden retriever named Dr. Jin. As soon as he saw the puppies, his tail started wagging uncontrollably.
"Oh, adorable two-legged cubs, so lovely, so wonderful."
"I've read so many of my ancestors' bipedal notes, and I thought they were all just theoretical knowledge. I thought I'd never see a living human in my lifetime, but I never expected to have the chance to see a human cub..."
"So lucky..."
Shen Qianyu frowned as she watched Dr. Jin spin like a top.
If the person hadn't been brought by his assistant, and he trusted his assistant's abilities, he would have kicked him out by now.
Fortunately, Dr. Jin still demonstrated his professionalism, saying to Shen Qianyu:
"Humans are very fragile creatures. They do not have sharp claws and fangs, nor can they climb and hunt, and their living conditions are very harsh."
"In the past, humans were enslaved and confined to small rooms for their entire lives, so remember, never mention words like 'work' or 'study' in front of humans."
"Humans are very clingy and like to be close to orcs and hug them. They need orcs to provide them with enough security."
"Moreover, humans must have their own little nest, need to sleep in the nest, and need to eat three meals a day at regular times, although their appetite is small and they will eat all sorts of random things."
"Humans are still very fragile and can get sick or injured easily. Raising a human requires a lot of energy. My ancestors, dogs, devoted their entire lives to this."
"If you decide to adopt him, then you must treat him well."
"That way, this human isn't a homeless savage."
