Chapter 330 Don’t Spoil Me Too Much
Qian Jingyao's fox tail swept gently across the shaft of the cart, his movements gentle yet cautious, as he muttered to himself, "Nothing can go wrong."
Luo Cihe leaned lazily on the roof of the car, his black hair ruffled by the breeze. He looked around bored and suddenly spoke:
"The scenery along the way is quite nice. It would be so pleasant if we could take it a little more leisurely."
Qi An stood quietly at the end of the team, silently guarding the entire convoy.
As the sun sets, the afterglow is like fire, dyeing the sky a brilliant orange-red.
At this time, the convoy had traveled a hundred miles on the winding road.
Xia Yueke looked back and saw the outline of the wandering beast tribe gradually blurred in the hazy twilight until it disappeared.
She subconsciously clenched the ice crystal glass flower in her hand, opened her lips slightly, and murmured, "Finally, I'm going back."
As night fell, the people who had been busy all day stopped and set up camp by the stream.
The bonfire was burning and crackling, and the jumping flames reflected the busy figures of the people.
An An and Dun Dun took advantage of the adults not paying attention and sneaked out like two naughty little animals.
"An An, let's go out and have some fun before dinner tonight. I've been feeling suffocated just sitting there all day!"
Dun Dun stuck to An An and complained.
An An's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Okay, but we can't go too far from here, otherwise it will be bad if the father and mother beasts can't find us."
Dun Dun's eyes rolled around. "Of course! We won't go far. Let's just look around here and see if there's anything fun."
An An and Dun Dun went out together, leaving quietly.
They shuttled through the nearby grass, sometimes chasing the fleeting fireflies, sometimes curiously fiddling with the unknown wild flowers on the ground. Unconsciously, they came to a slightly remote small earthen slope.
"Dun Dun, look, the soil here seems a little different." An An squatted down, digging at the soil with his little paws, looking puzzled.
Dun Dun also came over and dug the soil like An An did, "It's a bit loose, maybe there are some treasures hidden underneath!" The two little guys dug more and more vigorously, and the pit became deeper and deeper.
Suddenly, An An's claws touched something hard, "Oh, what is this?" He shouted excitedly, and Dun Dun also became excited. The two little animals worked together, and soon, a round object covered with mud was dug out.
"What is this?" Dun Dun held it in his hand, looking left and right, his face full of confusion.
An An wiped the dirt off the surface of the thing with his claws, revealing a bit of light yellow. "I haven't seen it either, but it looks like it's edible."
Just then, anxious cries of adults were heard in the distance. It was the father and mother beasts who discovered that they were missing.
An An and Dun Dun were so excited that they accidentally rolled down the hillside.
Qian Jingyao, who was not far away, was rushing over. When he saw this scene, his pupils suddenly shrank, but he reacted extremely quickly. His fox tail stretched out like lightning, wrapped around the cub steadily, and picked it up.
Xia Yueke heard the noise and rushed over. Seeing An An covered in mud and potatoes scattered on the ground, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in her eyes: "Wait! These are..."
She squatted down hurriedly and carefully examined the tubers covered in dirt. Her voice rose slightly with excitement: "They are really potatoes!"
For some reason, she had never found potatoes in the orcs' diet before, and she hadn't eaten them for a long time.
This time, Xia Yueke looked at the potatoes and then at the two little guys who had rolled twice on the hillside and were covered in mud.
She first put away her joy, her face became stern, her eyes narrowed, and her voice became extremely serious:
"Why did you two sneak out? Do you know how worried we are? You have no ability to protect yourselves. What if you encounter a wild beast?"
Xia Yue was so angry that her heart was beating. These two little guys were so bold. She had spoiled them all the time. They ran around everywhere without caring about the occasion!
"You shouldn't run around..." An An's ears drooped completely.
"But we found something delicious!" Dun Dun held up the muddy potato, with water still dripping from the tip of its tail.
"Shut up!" Xia Yueke's spiritual power suddenly surged, and frost climbed up Dun Dun's claws all over his body. "What if we encountered a poisonous snake instead of a potato tonight? What if Qian Jingyao didn't arrive in time?"
Her voice trembled, and her fear turned into icy spikes that pierced the ground.
An An and Dun Dun were frightened when they saw Xia Yuke's furious look, and they looked at Qian Jingyao, Lang Ce and Qing Yan for help.
Even though Qian Jingyao was angry, he quickly pleaded for mercy when he saw the pitiful appearance of the two children:
"Keke, calm down. Those brats didn't do it on purpose. This must have been an accident!"
Lang Ce felt distressed seeing the cubs like this. Besides, Qian Jingyao had already spoken, so if he didn't say something, wouldn't he be outdone? And then the cubs would definitely be upset with him.
Langce also advised:
"Calm down, little fox! The kids must be bored to death after sitting in the car all day! How boring!"
Qing Yan felt even more distressed. These two kids usually followed him and they had a very good relationship. Seeing that Xia Yueke was angry, it would be bad if he hit the kids.
"Yue, please spare them."
Xia Yueke originally wanted to put some pressure on these two guys so that they wouldn't dare to make mistakes easily in the future, but he was blocked by this group of guys and was speechless.
Well, if this kid is not taught a lesson, he will fly off to the sky, and these guys don’t even show any mercy to protect them!
Xia Yueke's anger, which had not subsided to begin with, surged upwards.
Xia Yueke took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He glanced at Qian Jingyao, Lang Ce, and Qing Yan's faces one by one, and said in a serious and somewhat helpless tone:
"You guys, all you do is spoil them! We were lucky today and dug up some potatoes. If anything unexpected happens, who among us will take the responsibility?"
Qian Jingyao took a step forward, gently held Xia Yueke's hand, and said softly:
"Keke, we know you're worried about them, but it's children's nature to love playing. Since nothing's wrong this time, don't be too angry."
Xia Yueke shook off his hand and raised her voice:
"Nature? Even nature has its limits! You're always like this. You soften your heart the moment you see their pitiful appearance. Won't they cause chaos in the future?"
Lang Ce scratched his head and said with an apologetic smile: "Little fox, can't we be more careful next time? Look, these two little guys are almost scared to tears."
Xia Yueke turned to look at An An and Dun Dun, only to see the two little guys huddled together, tears welling up in their eyes, looking pitiful.
She softened her heart, but still hardened her heart: "Listen carefully, you two, what happened today must not happen again. If you dare to run around without permission again, I will really punish you!"
An An and Dun Dun nodded like little chickens pecking at rice and whispered, "We know we were wrong and we won't dare to do it again."
