But we still have to face what we have to face.
Yinqing walked over, picked up the cub with a poor appetite, and gently patted its back.
Now the cub is just an ordinary child, nothing special.
He sobbed and cried, calling for his father.
Yin Qing had no experience in comforting cubs. He was clumsy and didn't even know how to wipe away tears. He could only silently lead the cub to search the entire military region again.
It was confirmed that there was no trace of Shen Qianyu.
Yin Qing then gave another order: search the entire area within a hundred miles, as well as the nearby planets, leaving no stone unturned.
But the cub in his arms was still immersed in the grief of losing its father.
"Waaaaah, Daddy's lost... I'm scared to be alone..."
The beastmen were worried about the "King," the leader of the beast race. Only the cubs were worried about Shen Qianyu himself.
Moreover, most of them held the mindset that a king must be powerful enough to be considered a king, believing that the king was born strong and should be able to turn misfortune into good fortune in the face of such a crisis. At most, they cared about the king's life and safety, but they didn't worry like cubs, worrying about whether the king would get hurt or suffer outside.
While comforting the cubs, Yinqing couldn't help but secretly feel jealous.
He also wanted the cub to receive such unique care, and he wanted the cub to miss him and depend on him.
If Shen Qianyu dies, then he can rightfully have the cub.
The thought had barely crossed her mind when Yinqing met the cub's tearful eyes again.
Those blue eyes instantly brought him to his senses, and he felt a pang of pity.
Never mind, if something happens to Shen Qianyu, the cub will definitely cry. It will be so sad that it will cry for three days and three nights.
How could he bear to part with it?
Meanwhile, the cub was still clutching Yinqing's clothes, crying and wiping away its tears.
He was about to calm himself down, but when he looked at Yin Qing and saw her worried expression, he couldn't hold back anymore.
After all, the cub had just experienced such a battle, and he was already quite frightened. He needed comfort from his closest people, and now that his father was missing, it was another huge blow to him.
The child doesn't want to cause trouble for everyone, nor does he want to be a naughty child who can't be appeased.
But the thought of not being able to find his father kept bothering him with worry and anxiety, which swirled around in his heart like a ball of fluff, and the image of Shen Cuifeng getting injured for him would flash through his mind from time to time.
Is Dad injured too? Is his life in danger?
Why is it like this again? Why is it that even though he has immense power and has devoured all the bad things, everyone still gets hurt?
Why is it that he still can't protect the person most important to him?
Why is everyone feeling sad?
The cub also feels pain and helplessness. It doesn't know how to express it, so it can only let its tears carry them away drop by drop, evaporate, and become bitter rain falling from the sky.
The cub started crying loudly, but later it turned into soft sobs. However, it looked even more pitiful than when it was wailing. It looked like it was trying to hold back its tears, as if it had suffered a great injustice but still tried its best to endure it so as not to cause trouble for others.
Yinqing was heartbroken from crying.
He never expected that the cub's tears would be more terrifying than any of its weapons. Just a few drops, along with reddened eyes and a sad expression, were enough to make Yinqing surrender.
"Don't cry, don't cry..."
Yinqing could only offer feeble words of comfort to the little one.
Since he couldn't speak, he could only express his intention through his actions: he planned to temporarily entrust the cub to someone else and go find Shen Qianyu for the cub again.
But as Yinqing got up, Zai hurriedly pulled Yinqing back.
Yinqing coaxed gently, "Your Highness, I'll go find your father for you."
The cub dared not let anyone close to him risk their life again; he was afraid that even Yinqing would be lost.
no.
The cub shook its head vigorously, but its grip on the silvery-green hand remained firm.
But it's no longer warm.
My soft hands were ice-cold.
Yin Qing could only say, "Alright, I won't leave."
Then he placed the cub's hand inside his unbuttoned coat, against the warm spot on his chest, completely disregarding his own feelings, and instinctively and without hesitation used his body heat to warm the cub.
After nestling the cub entirely in Yinqing's arms, the cub's emotions finally calmed down a bit.
After bandaging his wound, Shen Cuifeng is now arranging matters for the military region.
He limped over and said, "I have already informed the king's assistant to take the cub back to the palace."
Looking at the listless baby in her arms, Yin Qing refused without even thinking:
"Not yet. Without Shen Qianyu, the palace is meaningless to the cubs."
Those members of the Shen family who were surrounding them might also take the opportunity to appear and squeeze every last bit of value out of the cub.
Without Shen Qianyu, the palace is no exaggeration to call it a den of dragons and tigers.
Upon hearing this, Shen Cuifeng pondered, but he couldn't quite grasp the meaning. Whenever he saw a cub, he couldn't help but recall how the cub had swallowed everything whole, embracing all things.
He couldn't accept the contrast between the cute little boy and his appearance.
My heart is breaking.
"Then go and tell the assistant, at least the assistant should know where the cubs are."
As if on cue, the assistant arrived the moment he landed, rushing over with incredible speed while simultaneously coordinating various tasks. With the king in trouble, the entire burden of the royal family fell on his shoulders.
But he will not forget the cubs.
"Baby!"
Upon hearing the assistant's voice, the cub immediately burrowed out of Yinqing's arms, hugged the assistant, and burst into another bawling cry.
After crying until she was exhausted, she rubbed her face against her assistant's neck.
The assistant didn't mind the cub wiping its tears on his clothes; he comforted the cub while saying:
"Let's go home, okay? Let's go home and wait for Dad."
The cub blew its nose with the handkerchief the assistant pulled out, hiccuped, but didn't nod.
With his swollen eyes, he looked aggrieved and sniffed his assistant's neck again; it smelled very warm and pleasant.
The baby is tired from crying and a little hungry.
Looking at his expression, Yinqing actually understood what "young cub" meant.
He asked somewhat helplessly, "Didn't you just eat so much? How come you're hungry again?"
The cub blinked: "I just threw up..."
Yin Qing: "What do you want to eat? Can I eat you? Don't eat those space pirates. They're all savages, without any young to care for them. They're unclean, and you'll get diarrhea if you eat them."
The assistant had just connected to the internet and couldn't understand what the two of them were saying:
"Hmm? Is the little one hungry? What did you eat earlier? Snacks? Don't always eat snacks and skip meals, Commander. Don't joke around with the little one."
The cub turned its head, watching the assistant chatter on and on, but it didn't seem to be listening. Its gaze towards the assistant, however, was bright, just like it was looking at a walking cake.
The assistant slowly typed out a question mark: ?
