Chapter 6: First time out of the cave
She looked at Qian Jingyao curiously, her little nose twitching slightly as she smelled the faint vanilla scent on Qian Jingyao's body.
She looked like an innocent little angel, so pure that she could dispel all the haze in the world, and Qian Jingyao's face, which was originally as cold as a thousand-year-old ice, softened a little, just like sunlight penetrating the ice, creating warm ripples.
Xia Yueke is now a half-month-old little fox.
Her little body seemed to be wrapped in soft clouds, and the fur grew thicker and thicker, making her look so cute.
Qian Jingyao's slender fingers gently slid across its fur, and Xia Yueke squinted her eyes comfortably.
Xia Yueke stared with her big round eyes, looking around curiously. This was the first time in her life that she had walked out of the cave!
Qian Jingyao seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and lowered his arms slightly at the right time to give Xia Yueke a wider field of vision so that she could see the outside world clearly.
Xia Yuke glanced at Qian Jingyao with admiration. This kid really knows how to do things!
Their Wuya Cave was halfway up the mountain, and the entrance was half-hidden by clusters of green vines.
There are other caves on the surrounding mountain walls, some high and some low. When the wind blows through, they make a low "whooshing" sound. Some of the cave entrances have claw marks of varying depths around them.
These might be traces left by other fox orcs entering and exiting the cave. There were also some small objects simply woven with animal bones and vines scattered near the cave entrances, which seemed to be their pastime in their spare time.
Some of the cave entrances are so narrow that only a ray of light can penetrate. The edges of the cave entrances show signs of being rubbed smooth, which is caused by the fox orcs rubbing in and out for a long time. There are also a few colorful feathers left next to them, perhaps they were brought back to the cave from outside.
Outside the cave, a stream meanders down the mountain. The water hits the rocks, splashing water and making a "gurgling" sound.
There are colorful wild flowers growing by the stream. When the breeze blows, the flowers sway and make a rustling sound.
In the distance, the mountains and forests are lush and green, the trees are intertwined, and birds are singing on the branches, with chirping sounds one after another.
Chu Qingchen walked out with steady steps, his arms like a solid cradle, holding the two cubs firmly.
The two little guys were twisting restlessly in his arms, but Chu Qingchen had a doting look on his face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He first lifted the two cubs up and adjusted them to a more comfortable position, letting them lean on his broad chest.
Then, he seemed to have thought of an interesting idea, and a gleam appeared in his eyes.
He suddenly stretched out his arms and lifted the two little guys high above his head.
His arm muscles tensed slightly, demonstrating his strength to ensure the cubs wouldn't fall. The two little guys were instantly exposed to the wide field of vision, the air around them ruffling their fur.
One of the cubs was frightened by this sudden action and started to cry out. His little body struggled desperately, and his little claws scratched the air frantically.
The other one waved its paws excitedly, made a "squeak" sound, and looked curiously at the scenery in the distance.
Chu Qingchen looked at their reactions and couldn't help but burst into laughter, his laughter echoing in the air.
Qiu Xing's body flashed and turned into a majestic giant lion, with a powerful aura coming towards him.
Wuya jumped lightly onto the lion's back, holding the smallest cub tightly in her arms, her eyes full of tenderness.
Xia Yueke, who was in Qian Jingyao's arms, saw this scene. Her little eyes, as crystal clear as black gemstones, widened instantly, her eyes full of shock. Her small mouth also opened slightly, and her pink little tongue was faintly visible.
Her furry little body suddenly shrank, and she subconsciously rubbed against Qian Jingyao's warm and solid chest, like a poor little thing seeking shelter.
Her furry little head arched restlessly in Qian Jingyao's arms, and the soft fur made Qian Jingyao feel itchy.
Qian Jingyao seemed to sense Xia Yueke's uneasiness. He lowered his head slightly and saw Xia Yueke's small and cute baby teeth, which were shining white in her slightly opened mouth, looking very cute.
Qian Jingyao's hand lightly touched Xia Yueke's furry little head, afraid that she would hurt herself, so his slender fingers gently stroked her head.
At this moment, Xia Yueke was filled with shock.
Only then did she truly realize that this was truly a world of beasts!
Otherwise, how could such an absurd and magical scene appear?
Her female beast's mate actually turned into a majestic beast, and a lion of huge size.
His golden mane was as dazzling as the sun's rays.
The amber eyes were like deep gems, and their sharp gaze revealed a vigilance towards the surroundings.
The bloody mouth was slightly opened, revealing fangs like sharp daggers, flashing with cold light, as if they could easily tear apart any prey.
With every step the lion took, the ground seemed to tremble slightly. The majestic aura emanating from its body filled the little Xia Yueke with awe.
When Xia Yueke thought of this, she suddenly became scared.
Her little heart was beating fast, and a terrible thought came to her mind: If the lion was hungry, would it swallow her up as food?
After all, in her previous understanding, lions were ferocious carnivores.
However, Xia Yueke recalled that before she opened her eyes, she could vaguely hear Wu Ya's voice, and could also feel that Qiu Xing obeyed Wu Ya's words.
This bit of memory brought a little comfort to her panicked heart.
It seemed that everyone's attention was on the direction forward, but in fact, Chu Qingchen and Wu Ya were secretly glancing at Qian Jingyao several times without making any sound.
After all, this is the only female cub in this litter, and it is extremely precious.
Moreover, female cubs are rare, with only two female cubs born in the entire tribe this year.
There are only more than ten females in the entire fox tribe. You should know that there are two or three hundred fox orcs, which means that on average each female must have more than ten beast husbands.
As for Wu Ya, she had just reached adulthood, so she had only found two partners, and she was also delayed because of her pregnancy.
So the Wuya cave will be bustling with activity for a while...
Seeing Qian Jingyao treating the female cub so gently, the other three slowly looked away.
Although the young patriarch seemed to be good at taking care of the cubs, they still couldn't help but worry that the female cub would get hurt by accident.
The four of them headed towards the center of the tribe.
