Chapter 310

Most of the exotic beasts that were born and raised in nature are strong even when they are cubs. Being able to eat, sleep and fight is their basic standard. It is difficult for cubs that are too weak to survive in such a cruel environment of natural selection.

Before Yuchuan and the Qilin who had just caught up could react, the little phoenix and the little Bai Ze had already started fighting. Dust was flying all over the ground. The fight was fierce. The two balls, one red and one white, were kicking and pecking at each other. The sky was full of flying red and gold down feathers and snow-white fur.

"You are shameless for doing this!"

"You're even more shameless for sneaking up on me!"

The two of them were fighting all over the ground, and it was impossible to tell who was the head and who was the tail. The onlookers didn't know where to start to stop the fight. The two little ones were fighting so hard that they suddenly rolled down a slope, and then... the two of them rolled down the slope in a ball, screaming "Ah Ah Chirp". They rolled down faster and faster, and after a "plop", they both rolled into the mud.

Yuchuan and Qilin who were still on the slope: "..."

The fierce battle came to a temporary halt because of this sudden change. Qilin stood at the edge of the mud, looked at his weak little hooves, and decided to give the opportunity to pick up the cub to the strange young man next to him - if he used his hooves to pick up Bai Ze, he would most likely take a mud bath with Bai Ze.

In a wide mud puddle filled with dead branches and fallen leaves, Yuchuan looked at the surging mud surface and caught two chubby "fish" from it. The two "fish" were covered in mud and their fur color could not be distinguished at all. One could only infer the previous identities of the mud balls based on their body shape.

The smaller mud ball spat out a mouthful of mud and wailed, "Sir, it bullied me———"

The bigger mud ball started to shake its hair like crazy, and the sky was full of mud spots. It retorted unconvincedly: "You stole my tree, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

"What do you mean your tree? It's obviously mine!" The little mud ball's voice became shrill, "Why are you stealing other people's trees? You are so shameless!"

"mine!"

"mine!"

"You're a liar!"

"You farted!"

The two mud balls on the left and right became more and more excited in Yuchuan's hands. Both sides began to stretch out their claws and wings to hit the enemy in the air, and the "weapons" sliding in the air left afterimages.

After they could no longer hit each other, the two mud balls stopped fighting for the second time. The only eyes that were not covered with mud looked at him.

"Do you want this fat little bird or me?" "Do you want this ugly freak or me?"

The voices all spoke in unison, deafening.

The Qilin at Yuchuan's feet wiped the mud off his face with his little hoof, silently took two steps to the side, trying to get away from this Shura scene.

Although he didn't even know why the two of them were fighting, his intuition told him that it was best not to make any so-called "choices" at this time. After a moment of silence, he forced a change of subject: "Isn't it uncomfortable to have mud all over your fur? Why don't you take a shower first?"

Without waiting for their answer, he hugged one on his left and one on his right, and decisively left the quagmire to find the river. It was more convenient and faster to use the cleaning formation method, but there was only one key thing to do at this time - drag.

The cub's temper comes and goes quickly, so just put it off for now. This question is really hard to answer.

After washing the mud off the two cubs to reveal their original colors, Yuchuan dried their fur, and they turned back into fluffy birds and snow-white beasts. The two clean and refreshed cubs are no longer fighting, but are glaring at each other.

Seeing that the previously put aside issue was about to be brought up again, Yuchuan set his eyes on Qilin before they spoke: "They have all washed, it would be bad to leave you out."

Qilin: “……?”

It was picked up and placed on the river bank in a daze. The young man holding it conjured up a strange tool. The tool was made entirely of wood, with hard, neat hair on one side. When the tool rubbed against the scales, it would make a rustling sound. He did not use much force, as if he was afraid of hurting it. The gaps between the scales were gently cleaned. The Qilin raised its little hoof comfortably, enjoying and cooperating, but...

Kirin saw out of the corner of his eye the fighting-capable young Bai Ze on the shore, and the fat little bird that was fighting with Bai Ze just as well. The sinister looks in their eyes made it seem as if they were ready to eat Kirin.

Kirin: QAQ

Its raised little hoof froze in mid-air, and then it waved nervously in their direction.

Bai Ze crushed the small wild flower under his feet with one claw, and muttered in a low voice with gritted teeth: "How dare you challenge my dignity as the boss?"

There was a faint creaking sound from the phoenix's beak, and its baby voice was puffy: "No wonder you didn't stop the fight, you actually wanted to kidnap my husband!"

The two little cubs, who were fighting with fur all over the place just now, now had their brains connected to the outside world.

A certain tree that unknowingly "diverts the evil water to the east" has great merit and fame.

…

"I found him first, he should raise me!"

"Sir took the initiative to find me in my territory, he should raise me!"

"First come, first served, understand?"

"Can't you force me to understand?"

"You have no shame!"

"You are so shameless!"

It wasn't so lively on the way out with the little phoenix, but it was very noisy on the way back.

The little phoenix popped its head out of the left pocket with a majestic look, while the little Bai Ze held his head high in the crook of his right arm, and as for the Qilin?

The unicorn with glittering brown scales hugged Yuchuan's left arm and pretended to sleep. After a brief gesture by the river, it discovered sadly that it could not beat Xiao Bai Ze or Xiao Feng Huang. It was the weakest in fighting power among the three cubs. It could not win in a fight, and if it took sides it would be beaten by the other side. It might as well reduce its presence as much as possible.

The young man who called himself "Mr. Yukawa" walked with a steady pace. Qilin pretended to be asleep at first, but in his arms, it gradually became sleepy and actually fell asleep.

When Qilin woke up, he found himself in a forest of fiery red paulownia trees. He raised his little hooves and rubbed his eyes dazedly, only to find that he had been moved to Mr. Yuchuan's lap without knowing when.

It heard the person holding it ask softly, "Did you sleep well?"

Qilin nodded in confusion, and the noisy sound filled his ears belatedly—

"You followed me to my territory and you dare to complain that my territory is hot?"

"Do you want to see how cool it is outside the sycamore forest?"

"If you want to go outside, just go. Why are you dithering?"

"I'll take them away when Qilin wakes up. Who cares about your broken territory?"

"You two should hurry up and leave. The master has been annoyed with you for a long time but was too embarrassed to say it!"

"Why do you speak for the gentleman?"

"I was raised by him, so of course I can represent his opinion!"

"Are they still quarreling?" Qilin whispered, "Aren't they tired?"

It was already dark when they came back from all the quarreling. As a cub, why didn’t it have so much energy?

"They quarreled three times and fought twice while you were sleeping." The young man holding Qilin smiled helplessly, "They even planned to wake you up to judge."

Qilin: “…”

The scales that were kicked felt phantom pain.JPG

They spoke in low voices, but the two cubs who were quarreling and fighting in the pile of sycamore leaves heard the sound and turned their heads to look in this direction.

Qilin tilted his head, shut up decisively and continued pretending to sleep.

“Sir, sir———” The fluffy ball flew to the young man’s shoulder and rubbed his face, “Please stay with me. I will become very powerful when I grow up!”

Bai Ze's snow-white fur was a little messy. Although he still held his head high, his eyes were full of grievance: "I looked for you for a long time after you left, but it turned out that you were raising another cub outside..."

Through the quarrels between Little Phoenix and Little Bai Ze along the way, Yuchuan finally understood why Little Bai Ze felt so aggrieved. When he was still his original form, he occasionally felt vaguely that there was a little cub sleeping on his branch with warm body temperature, but he did not expect that this cub was Little Bai Ze, and he did not expect that after he left, Little Bai Ze would still look for him so persistently.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were looking for me." He picked up Xiao Bai Ze, and the sleeping Qilin silently jumped down to make room for it. "I thought you just rested on my prototype occasionally."

"I looked for you for a long time after you disappeared, but I couldn't find you." Bai Ze put his head against his chest and said sullenly, "I'm so sad."

It went to many places and saw many trees, but none of them was the one it was looking for.

The love and dependence of young children are sometimes so direct, passionate and unreasonable.

Yuchuan combed its fur carefully with his fingers, expressing his silent apology with his actions. Even the little phoenix, who had just been arguing with Bai Ze, now squatted quietly on his shoulder without saying a word.

If Mr. Yuchuan left without saying goodbye, the little phoenix thought, he would probably be angrier, sadder and more aggrieved than Bai Ze. So, well... he would reluctantly let Mr. Yuchuan stay with him for a while. But if he wanted to kidnap Mr. Yuchuan, that was absolutely not allowed!

It took a long time to finally coax the depressed little Bai Ze. For his pitiful sake, the little phoenix chose to tolerate him. The final result of the discussion was that Mr. Yuchuan took the three cubs to sleep on the edge of the paulownia forest. After all this trouble, it was already dark.

On the clean and flat stone, the little phoenix nested on Yuchuan's chest, Bai Ze held his left arm, and Qilin spread out his arms like a "big" on his right arm. The starlight passed through the branches of the phoenix tree forest and gently enveloped them. The night sky was full of stars, silent and eternal.

After a day of fighting and quarreling, except for Qilin who took a nap, the other two cubs were exhausted. As Yuchuan told the story, the eyelids of the three cubs became heavier and heavier, and finally one after another they fell asleep, and their little snores sounded one after another, which was particularly rhythmic.

The little phoenix on his chest was already sleeping with its paws facing the sky. Yuchuan used his energy to condense three palm-sized quilts, and covered the three cubs with their upturned bellies. For some reason, he always felt that the cubs would easily catch a cold if their bellies were not covered.

The three cubs were sleeping soundly beside him, each in their own unique sleeping position. Looking at their sleeping faces, he felt helpless but also amused.

Such a bustling life is a bit unbearable, but fortunately, there are only three cubs to take care of.
