Chapter 210 Three Little Lions
At this time, Chu Qingchen strode in with a doting smile on his face. Looking at Xia Yueke's embarrassing state in the arms of the female beast, he teased with a smile:
"Why, you become stupid when you see the female beast?"
Having said that, the love in his eyes could not be hidden.
Xia Yueke broke free from the mother beast's arms, trotted to Chu Qingchen, and pulled his arm and acted coquettishly:
"Father, you're here too. I missed you so much!"
Before Xia Yueke could recover from the shock, the second father beast Qiu Xing walked in slowly, holding a small package in his hand, and shouted as soon as he entered the door:
"Coco, look what the Second Father Beast brought you."
Xia Yueke's eyes lit up, she ran over to take the package, opened it and saw that it was her favorite dried wild fruits.
Qiu Xing touched her head and said gently, "I know you're greedy, so I saved this for you."
Xia Yueke held the dried wild fruit, feeling warm in her heart. Looking at the mother beast, the father beast, and the second father beast in front of her, her eyes couldn't help but redden, and she muttered:
"Why are you all here without telling me in advance?"
Wu Ya smiled and said, "My dear, it's been so long since we last met. Besides, you left without a word, so even if the mother beast wanted to notify you, there was nothing she could do. Fortunately, the elders of the Hui tribe said that Duzi and the others found you this time! Otherwise, it would be really worrying!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yueke lowered her head with a bit of guilt, "Mother beast, I'm sorry, I was ignorant at the time and didn't say goodbye to you properly!"
Just when Xia Yueke was feeling sad, the sound of "hum hum" from several little guys was heard, and then Xia Yueke felt something was scratching his hide.
She looked down and saw three little lion cubs wagging their tails happily, scratching at their hides with their claws, and humming to themselves.
I saw three little lion cubs, each with a strong and ferocious body.
The one in the lead had golden fur, except for a small tuft of white hair in the middle of its forehead, which looked very much like the twinkling stars in the night sky. Its eyes were big and round, like clear amber, and at this moment it was staring at Xia Yueke with curiosity.
There was a slightly smaller one next to it, with light brown markings on its fur. Its ears stood up pointedly and trembled from time to time, as if trying to catch the sounds around it. Although its claws were immature, they also showed a sense of cleverness, and it kept probing at Xia Yueke's feet.
The last one is the smallest, but full of energy. Its tail is furry and longer than its body. It is swinging happily from side to side, and the humming sound from its mouth is the loudest, as if it is eager to attract Xia Yueke's attention.
Xia Yueke was stunned. "Female beast, what is this?"
Wu Ya smiled brightly, "These are the cubs of your father, Qiu Xing. There are three male cubs! It's a pity there's no female cub, but fortunately the mother beast already has you!"
Duzi, Rongqiu, and Juanjuan picked up the little lion cubs without any hesitation and started shouting.
Duzi held a little lion cub with golden fur and a tuft of white hair on its forehead in his arms, as if he was holding a rare treasure, but he asked with a confused look on his face:
"Should I call them brothers?"
The little lion cub was restless and twisted around in his arms. Its little paws gently grabbed Duzi's arms, as if protesting against being held too tightly. It whimpered and its eyes rolled around, looking around curiously.
The ball grabbed a little lion cub with light brown stripes, jumped up and down excitedly, and shouted:
"It's like a toy, fun, I want..."
Before he could finish his words, the little lion cub let out a "wool" and licked the ball's face with its tongue. The ball was startled by this sudden act of intimacy and loosened its grip. The little lion cub took the opportunity to break free, ran a few steps on the ground and then stopped. It turned around and wagged its tail at the ball, as if provoking it.
Juanjuan squatted on the ground, holding tightly the little lion cub's tail, which was furry and exactly the same as a pompom's tail, and couldn't let go of it.
The little lion cub was pulled by its tail and could not move. It could only lie down and desperately scratch Juanjuan's hand with its front paws, making a series of "grunts" from its mouth and looking at Juanjuan pitifully with its eyes.
Juanjuan didn't notice and was still teasing the little lion cub until it started crying "woooo" in grievance, with tears welling up in its eyes. Juanjuan panicked and quickly let go of his hand. The little lion cub immediately hid in the bushes next to it, leaving only its little head exposed, looking around vigilantly.
Wu Ya, Chu Qingchen and Qiu Xing watched this scene with a smile, not worrying at all that Duzi and the others would harm the lion cubs.
Qian Jingyao came over and said politely, "Come and sit down and have some water. We've taken good care of Coco, don't worry."
Wu Ya nodded and sat down readily. Chu Qingchen looked around and soon spotted the unfamiliar faces of Luo Cihe and Qi'an. He frowned slightly with a puzzled expression, "Is this Coco's new partner?"
Wu Ya's gaze also turned over curiously.
Seeing Qi An and Luo Ci He, she first looked them up and down, her eyes sharp and scrutinizing, then raised her lips.
"These two orcs look pretty good! What rank are you? What do you do?"
Qi'an and Luo Cihe came over immediately. Qi'an changed his cold and expressionless look and smiled. He stood tall and straight, bowed slightly, and said politely and humbly:
"Hello, father and mother beasts. My name is Qi'an, a tenth-rank beastman. I serve as the headmaster of the cub school. Besides teaching the cubs knowledge, I also occasionally participate in decision-making regarding matters concerning the management of the beastmen in the beast city. I will definitely protect Keke."
Luo Cihe smiled brightly, his chest slightly puffed out, and his voice was as loud as a bell:
"Hello, father and mother beasts. My name is Luo Cihe. I'm also a tenth-rank orc. I serve as the Great Shaman of Beast City. I'm proficient in all kinds of herbal knowledge. Whether it's treating orcs who are injured or sick, or just taking care of their daily needs, I'm no problem."
Wu Ya's eyes were full of praise after hearing this, and she nodded continuously, "Not bad, Keke has good taste!"
Although Chu Qingchen didn't say anything more, the doubts on his face dissipated a little. He nodded slightly, as if approving of the two of them.
At this moment, Qing Yan on the side could no longer hold back. He rushed forward, clenched his fists, his face flushed red, and shouted loudly:
"And what about me? Even though my rank isn't as high as theirs, my love for Yue is undeniable. I watch over her from morning till night, worrying about her eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating. You can't leave me behind!"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
Wu Ya laughed so hard that she fell backwards. She pointed at Qing Yan and said jokingly, "You little brat, you're so anxious, but we haven't forgotten you!"
Chu Qingchen was also amused and shook his head with a smile.
The laughter and chatter of the crowd had not yet died down. Xia Yueke's cheeks flushed slightly. She glanced at Qingyan with a look of reproach, but a hint of sweetness welled up in her heart. She walked forward, gently took Qingyan's hand, and said softly:
"Of course I won't leave you behind. You're always so impatient."
When Qing Yan was pulled by her, the embarrassment on his face instantly turned into a silly smile.
