Frostflower chickened out and suddenly became weak, stammering, "I'm talking about you, don't drag others into it."
“I’m the same as everyone else. If you can’t produce any evidence, it’s a false accusation. Anyway, it was my second child who put out the fire, and I don’t mind letting it burn again,” Shen Miao threatened.
Frostflower glared at her angrily, her eyes flashing with fear, and stammered, "You, you dare."
“You can give it a try,” Shen Miao said calmly.
Shuanghua stomped her feet, furious. She glared at Chen Miao and ran away.
Since she can't stay here anytime soon, she needs to go find her unsuspecting admirers.
Erbao spat fiercely at Shuanghua's retreating figure.
Da Bao was furious and kicked Shuang Hua's wooden house hard. The wooden house was already not very sturdy because of the fire, and with Da Bao's kick, half of it collapsed.
The children were a little relieved and dragged Shen Miao home.
Shuanghua didn't dare to cause any more trouble for Shen Miao after that. If she had, Shen Miao would definitely not have let her off easily.
The weather was getting clearer and the temperature was rising, so Shen Miao decided to take this opportunity to go to the beach to soak up some sun, since such weather was a rare treat.
The sun was so strong that Shen Miao set off with her provisions before dawn. As usual, she didn't bring the cubs and declined Qingchen and Jiuying's invitations. She went to the beach alone and started working.
After getting the seawater out, Shen Miao was exhausted and covered in sweat. She ran to a shady spot, washed her face with the seawater, and just as she was feeling comfortable, she caught a glimpse of scales growing on her arm out of the corner of her eye. The scales were even reflecting light.
Shen Miao was startled. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the scales were gone again.
What's going on? She touched her arm, and it was still smooth, without the roughness of scales. Maybe she was seeing things.
As Shen Miao thought this, she reached out and splashed some water on her other arm. As a result, she saw scales flashing on her arm once again!
It's covered in dense, large scales, not just one or two, the kind that would make anyone with trypophobia scream.
For some reason, Shen Miao instinctively took a few steps back, moving away from the seaside.
It was as if some monster in the sea was about to drag her in at any moment.
Shen Miao dared not go to the beach again. She just stood far away and stared blankly for a while, then carefully examined her hands, especially the areas that had been covered by scales.
Strangely, she still couldn't see anything unusual; the skin on her arm was smooth, without even a mark, let alone any scales.
It must have been too hot and she was too tired, so she was hallucinating. Otherwise, why would she imagine herself as a fish?
Shen Miao smiled and shook her head.
Although she can swim, she doesn't actually like being in the water that much. She learned to swim because she saw too many examples of people drowning because they couldn't swim.
When did she begin to feel like a fish, swimming freely in the water?
That's ridiculous.
Shen Miao quickly came to her senses, scratched her head, and stopped thinking about it. She soon forgot about it and didn't tell Qingchen and Jiuying when she got back, afraid that they would worry.
Sometimes, she would stare blankly at the water, and when someone woke her up, she would be a little confused because she wasn't thinking about anything; she was just staring at it.
Fortunately, Shen Miao soon stopped thinking about these things.
The little ones have been a bit frizzy lately. They're fine in human form, but their hair sticks up high, looking like they've been electrocuted.
Transforming into beast form is even worse; all the fur on his body stands on end.
Shen Miao tried some methods, such as wetting the surface with water to press it down, but it didn't work. It would still stick up after drying. She asked the children, "What did you do when this happened before?"
They just stared at her blankly, saying, "No, just leave it like this."
So, he just wanders around the tribe with an afro? Or is he a chubby little baby running around with his fur standing on end?
The scene was so beautiful that Shen Miao dared not think about it any longer.
She used her fingers to comb the hair of the babies, but it still didn't work well; her fingers were too rough, and she needed to use a comb instead.
Logically speaking, Shen Miao should have made such a small thing long ago, but she had too many things to do, and after becoming a beastman, her hair became much coarser. She could simply groom it with her fingers every day, so she never thought of making a comb.
Now we have no choice but to do it.
Wooden combs were easy to make. Shen Miao went up the mountain to find the wood and spent a day making them piece by piece. She combed her own hair and thought it looked good, so she called over the children and combed their hair one by one.
The kids had never seen a comb before and didn't know how amazing it was. It could press down unruly hair and smooth out knots, making it incredibly useful.
The gentle touch of the comb made the kids' hair feel tingly and numb, which was extremely comfortable.
Erbao has the most tricks up his sleeve. With a flick of his eyeballs, he transforms into a little fox, asking Shen Miao to brush his fur. Shen Miao is happy to pet the little guy for a while.
Seeing how much Erbao was enjoying himself, the other cubs all transformed into their animal forms and snuggled close to Shen Miao's hands, wanting her to brush their fur too.
Shen Miao combed the fur of the little furballs, and a lot of fur fell out. She picked it all up and put it away together.
Turning around, I saw that Xiao Sibao was still lying in the same spot. I couldn't help but chuckle and patted her soft little body. "Xiao Sibao, your fur is all combed. Do you want to go and look in the water?"
Little Sibao yawned and said, "Mommy, comb it again."
"If you comb it again, all the fur will fall out," Shen Miao deliberately tried to scare her.
Little Sibao was pouting. Oh, you can't tell that the little fox cub was pouting, but Shen Miao was imagining how Little Sibao usually looked and guessed that she must be pouting now.
"No way, I have lots of hair!" Little Sibao said proudly.
Her fur was indeed thick, and even if she didn't transform into a human, she would still be an extremely cute little beast.
Shen Miao gently combed her hair, and the little girl made gurgling sounds as if she was about to fall asleep.
After a while, Shen Miao felt it was about time and called to Xiao Sibao, "Go play with your brothers."
The four babies did not respond.
Shen Miao leaned closer and observed carefully, discovering that Xiao Sibao had his eyes closed and was truly asleep.
Shen Miao was both amused and exasperated. Was it really that comfortable? She hadn't felt this way when combing her own hair. However, since the little one was asleep, she didn't plan to wake her. Instead, she picked up the little dumpling and placed her on the stone bed.
They covered him with a fur blanket, and Xiao Sibao rolled over, a drop of saliva sliding down from the corner of his mouth.
Shen Miao suppressed a laugh as she wiped the stain off. If only there were a camera here, she could take a picture of what the little one looked like now and show it to her when she grew up; that would be so much fun.
