Chapter 311
"Is this the house?" The little phoenix flapped its wings and flew to the roof, with pure curiosity in its round eyes, "It's not in my inherited memory!"
Little Bai Ze climbed up to the roof swiftly, holding onto the pillars. It stood on the eaves with its four paws clasped together, looking far into the distance, and said with satisfaction, "This view is not bad!"
The Qilin was lying on the wide windowsill, spreading its legs like a "big" character to bask in the sun. The roof was too difficult to climb and it was too lazy to move.
After deciding to raise the three cubs, Yuchuan didn't want to let them live outdoors all the time. Although his memory had not yet recovered, he found something like a "house" from his memory through constant recollection.
The energy in the body is a very convenient thing. With the help of the spiritual energy he can mobilize and the three little cubs to help, the house was built quickly.
The house is similar to a future courtyard house, except that many things are simplified. Most of the features retain a rustic charm. The courtyard wall has also become a sparsely scattered bamboo forest. The paths connecting the different rooms are filled with colorful flowers in the cracks between the stones.
The three cubs, who had never seen a house, jumped around everywhere. They not only learned to play hide-and-seek without any instruction, but also learned to decorate their own small yard. For example, the little phoenix dug a big hole in the open space in front of its yard, selected the most beautiful phoenix tree from the phoenix forest, and moved it to the dug hole with spiritual power; Bai Ze collected many strange plants and planted them everywhere in the yard. Qilin's small yard did not change much, but there were several large flat stones of various shapes, so that it could lie down and bask in the sun...
The young beasts were full of energy and didn't feel tired even after playing for a whole morning. At noon, Yuchuan placed a round wooden table under the ivy trellis in the center of the three small courtyards: "Everyone, come back for dinner!"
During the time when Yuchuan raised the little phoenix, the little phoenix started to eat its own eggshells. After finishing the eggshells, it mainly ate the fruits of bamboo, which are the fruits produced after the bamboo blooms. When he saw Baize and the others eating the prey raw after hunting, his brows wrinkled into the shape of the word "chuan".
"Most parts taste terrible if you eat them directly, and only a few parts taste good." Xiao Bai Ze complained, "So if you can't catch prey, you either go hungry or eat it anyway."
Little Bai Ze is a bit picky about food. In order to avoid going hungry, its hunting skills are forced to improve rapidly, and in the end it is almost invincible among all the cubs.
Hearing what it said, Yuchuan showed a bit of distress in his eyes. He sighed and touched the top of Xiao Baize's head: "I changed the way I processed your prey. Do you want to try it and see if it tastes good?"
Xiao Bai Ze touched his itchy horns and said proudly, "It's not impossible."
The little Qilin who was picking at the ivy leaves beside him turned around and asked curiously, "Why are you stuttering too?"
Little Bai Ze gave it a "kind" smile, stepped on the little Qilin's black tail hair with its hind feet, and twisted it left and right.
Little Qilin: “!!!”
Little Kirin: QAQ
The little unicorn is silent.
After planting its own phoenix tree, the little phoenix flapped its wings and flew here. It landed on the ivy trellis, and the whole trellis shook. It seemed to be very solid and not fake.
"Chiu?" The fluffy ball tilted its neckless head to look cute.
Tamagawa smiled and put it on his shoulder, twirling one of Lianshi and teasing it: "Are you hungry?"
The little phoenix's solid movements look like a cat eating shrimp, full of artificial cuteness.
Kirin Bai Ze: “…”
Damn it! I always feel like something is wrong!
After feeding the little phoenix a pill of Ren fruit, Yuchuan wiped the claws of the three cubs clean and carried them onto the stool he had prepared early in the morning. When building the house, he took a walk around the nearby mountains and found some strange (?) seasonings - although he didn't recognize them, his brain automatically told him the functions of these plants.
The neatly sliced meat of even thickness was covered with tempting fat on the plate, emitting a pleasant aroma. Xiao Bai Ze and Xiao Qilin swallowed their saliva for some unknown reason as they smelled it.
Smells so good!
After taking a tentative bite, both cubs showed a look of happiness on their faces—the taste was completely different from eating the prey raw!
The two cubs were eating noisily. The meat on the plates was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. The little phoenix looked at the meat on his own plate, then looked at the other two plates of meat, and whispered, "Wow! They are such big eaters!"
———Apply eye drops to brighten your eyes.
Little Bai Ze and Little Qilin, whose fur and scales were all covered with grease, took a moment out of their busy schedule to glare at Little Phoenix, then lowered their heads and continued eating. They had never eaten delicious meat in their lives and did not have the time to argue with it!
The final result of the meal was that the two little cubs were full, their bellies were round like little balls, and finally they lay on Yuchuan's arms, one on the left and one on the right. Green vines broke out of the ground beside Yuchuan and gently rubbed the bellies of the two little cubs.
While lying under the ivy trellis, Yuchuan looked at the sunlight filtering through the ivy branches and leaves above his head, and an inexplicable thought popped up in his mind—
He should go to the nearby hills to look for hawthorns.

After the house was built, the little phoenixes were no longer happy to live in the phoenix forest. Their three small courtyards changed almost every day - after all, they were their own courtyards and they could do whatever they wanted with them.
Every day when the sun rises, the little phoenix would squat on the phoenix tree in the yard and howl loudly. The little Bai Ze, who was in a bad mood, would rush out half asleep and have a fight with the little phoenix on the tree. On the way back after the fight, it would always see the little Qilin sleeping in a "big" shape in the yard. So the little Bai Ze would climb over the fence in a mean way and knock the little Qilin to wake him up with two bangs - the main thing was that he couldn't sleep himself, and didn't let other animals sleep either.
The little Qilin, who never stopped resisting and never won, often held his little head that had no sense of pain and rushed to Yuchuan's yard with a cry to complain. The scene of "crying and sobbing" looked so pitiful - Xiao Bai Ze was spanked several times because of this, so when Yuchuan was not around, Xiao Bai Ze would chase the little Qilin all over the yard and beat him. Wherever he went, weeds flew up the fences, the ground was full of potholes, and occasionally the little phoenix who was watching the show would be affected.
Every day is full of excitement and surprises that test my heart.
The sun rose and the moon set, and time went on day by day. One evening, Yuchuan brought back a huge ball of mud. The three cubs, who had just finished a fight, were busy restoring the messy "battlefield", and they just finished before he returned home.
After living together for a long time, Little Bai Ze and Little Qilin also followed Little Phoenix in calling Yuchuan "Sir". When they found him coming back, the three cubs looked at each other and reached a temporary truce agreement with their eyes.
Living with the husband is both happy and distressing. The happy thing is that the husband is very good to them, and often prepares delicious food in different ways and homemade snacks. The husband will teach them some techniques that are more sophisticated than passing on memory. Where the husband is, there is home.
What bothers me is that my husband always seems to have some strange "rules", such as not allowing unwashed paws and hooves to go to the table, having to eat meat and vegetables together, being spanked if bullying each other, and having to cover the stomach when sleeping...
The three little cubs felt the sweet burden at a young age.
"Is this something delicious?" The little phoenix was now flying very steadily, its two wings faster than its four legs. Its eyes fell on the mud ball in Mr. Yuchuan's hand, "Is it the 'beggar's chicken' that appeared in the story?"
Thinking about the delicious food prepared by the master, the little phoenix swallowed its saliva unwillingly. Although its recipe mainly focuses on solid food, it also has a craving for delicious food!
Xiao Bai Ze, who was a step behind, faced the mud ball head-on. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he saw tiny crumbs falling from the cracked mud ball, and in the crumbs... a pair of blue eyes grew?!
The fearless Xiao Bai Ze recalled the ghost stories he had heard from his teacher. His body reacted faster than his brain and he quickly jumped back with a big step to distance himself from the big mud ball.
"It's not food." Little Bai Ze heard the master answer the phoenix's question, "It's the cubs."
A bunch of question marks popped up in Xiao Bai Ze's head. He flipped through his inherited memories, and it seemed that there was no such thing as an alien bloodline where a cub was a ball of cracked mud with eyes?
Facing three pairs of confused eyes, Yuchuan couldn't help laughing. He put the mud ball on the ground, spiritual energy surged in his hands, and with a "crackling" sound, the mud ball peeled off. In the middle of the mud ball, a wilted cub magically appeared. It had horns on its head, a beard under its jaw, blue scales on its body, five claws on its abdomen, and its whole body was covered in mud. It curled up in the mud, its blue eyes filled with fear, and looked so pitiful.
Little Qilin huddled behind Little Bai Ze and asked softly, "Were you bullied?"
Although the three of them often fought, they were measured in their fighting and would not really hurt each other. The strange cub had some mud on his body and it was even red - its blood dyed the mud red.
Although there is competition among creatures in the world and the fittest survive, most of the alien beasts and plants are tolerant of their cubs and rarely harm their lives. Even if some hungry cubs sneak up to them to rub against their prey, those with good tempers will turn a blind eye.
"I don't know either." Yuchuan answered the little Qilin's question, "I picked it up by the mud."
The cub that was picked up looked so miserable. Even when they saw Mr. Yuchuan gently holding the wolf cub and apologetically saying that he had to treat the cub's wounds first and dinner would be postponed, the possessive Little Bai Ze and the jealous Little Phoenix said nothing.
Mr. Yuchuan took the strange little cub to his yard. The three little ones at the door looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, the little Qilin weakly suggested: "How about we go cook?"
The expressions of the other two cubs immediately became serious.
"The most I can do with the Golden Spirit Blade is to knock down a table!" Xiao Bai Ze was extremely confident, "I will definitely not knock down a wall!"
"It's okay if it falls down." The little Qilin was a little unsure, but he still said firmly, "I can control the earth spirit to replace the wall as support."
"I will definitely be able to control the amount of flame this time!" Little Phoenix vowed, "I guarantee I won't burn the kitchen!"
"It doesn't matter if it really burns." The little Qilin became even more frightened. It wiped the non-existent sweat with its hoof and said, "I can put out the fire very quickly!"
Xiao Bai Ze waved his paw and said heroically: "Let's go!"
The three little cubs ran to the kitchen.
After one stick of incense, the little phoenix's terrified voice came: "Firewood! Too much firewood!!!"
Thick smoke rolled out from the windows and doors continuously, and the whole kitchen was like a large black smoke-generating machine. Suddenly, the window made a "click" sound, and a blade condensed from metallic spiritual power blasted the window, and the black smoke became more intense.
Three little cubs were running around in the kitchen, the water in the pot was boiling, the frying oil was frying on the beams, and some of the neatly cut prey was in the pot, some on the stove, and some on the ground, the main theme was to do whatever they wanted, in all directions.
The more they tried to rescue, the worse the situation became. The fierce flames almost singed the little Bai Ze's tail hair. The three cubs had no choice but to escape from the dilapidated hole in the wall. The kitchen completed its final mission in the black smoke - it collapsed for the fourth time.
