Just when Long Mo suspected that he had taken the wrong path, the five cubs suddenly came out of the house.

"Daddy!"

"Yes, Daddy, Mom didn't lie to us, she really let Daddy come back."

Long Ling'er ran out of the house in joy and threw herself into Long Mo's arms.

Her fair and cute little face was flushed with excitement, and her big eyes looked at Long Mo with twinkling eyes.

"Daddy, you are finally back, Ling'er missed you so much!"

When Long Mo was around, Long Ling'er was also a little female who loved to act coquettishly, and now she hugged his thighs and refused to let go.

Seeing the cubs, a hint of tenderness spread across Long Mo's cold face. Only when he was dealing with the cubs would he not exude a cold and chilly aura.

The other four cubs followed behind, and although they were not as excited as Long Ling'er, they also pursed their lips, with a hint of warm smile in their eyes.

Daddy is back, so good.

Only Long Yao rushed after Long Ling'er, but braked when Long Mo opened his arms to catch him, turned around Long Mo, and stretched his head to look behind Long Mo.

It seemed like he was expecting something.

"Yao'er, what's wrong?" Long Mo looked at Long Yao's strange behavior, and a strange look appeared on his cold face.

In the past, when Long Yao saw him, he would jump into his arms just like Long Ling'er did.

He often disliked Long Yao, a male cub, for being so clingy to him.

He didn't expect that Long Yao would suddenly stop clinging to him today, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

Long Ling'er tilted her head and explained in a sweet voice, "Daddy, Xiaowu is looking for mommy."

"Why didn't mommy come back with daddy?" Long Ling'er's gem-like eyes blinked with confusion.

Long Mo was stunned, and his sword-like eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

When did that female have such a good relationship with the cubs?

Ling'er actually cares about whether she comes back or not.

Seeing Long Ling'er's expectant eyes, Long Mo answered gently, directly omitting the fact that he had met Hu Jiaojiao today, "I didn't see her. She should be back soon."

Long Mo's deep eyes looked at the furnishings in the yard.

On one side were neatly piled wood, and on the other side were some strange stones. The fence seemed to have been rebuilt, the yard had also expanded a lot, and the ground was clean. There was

also one more wooden house, one large and one small, lined up. At first glance, there was actually a warm feeling.

Looking at the cubs again, they were completely different from their previous dark and thin appearance, as if they had been reborn.

He hadn't been back for a long time, why had the house changed so much?

Did the female find a new partner?

Thinking of this, Long Mo's golden pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes were stained with a layer of gloom and darkness.

He knew that the female was lazy to death, how could she tidy up the house like this, and it turned out that she had hooked up with other males instead of Ying Yuan.

Hearing Long Mo's answer, several cubs immediately showed disappointed looks.

Knowing that Hu Jiaojiao didn't come back, Long Yao turned around and flew to Long Yu's head and lay down, closed his beast eyes and fell asleep.

The three male cubs turned around and went back to the house with a lack of interest.

Long Mo: "......?"

Suddenly, he felt a sense of being ignored.

Why did the cubs' reactions differ from what he imagined?

"Daddy, go find mom quickly. We are hungry. Go find mom and cook." Long Ling'er's eyes turned smartly and she pushed Long Mo's thigh to walk out of the yard.

With her thin body, she naturally couldn't push Long Mo.

Can she still work?

Could it be that all these things in the house were done by that female?

Long Mo was full of disbelief, but he still took two steps obediently. When he turned around and was about to say that he would do it, Long Ling'er turned around and ran away without any regrets. She

only left a sentence, "Daddy, go quickly! We are waiting for you and mom at home!"

It was almost like telling him directly: Don't come back if you don't find mom.

Long Mo had no choice but to resign himself to finding Hu Jiaojiao.

...

Knowing that there were stray beastmen nearby, the chief did not dare to delay any longer and immediately asked the male to take the fruit and set off back to the tribe.

Fox Jiaojiao followed at the end of the team as usual.

"Fox Jiaojiao, can I go with you?" Fox Jiaojiao was playing with the dogtail grass picked by the roadside when a soft voice suddenly came to her ears.

Looking up, it was Lu Mian'er with a hopeful look on her face.

"Yeah, sure." Fox Jiaojiao was slightly stunned and moved to the side.

Lu Mian'er's face lit up and she trotted to Fox Jiaojiao and walked side by side with her.

The road in the forest is not easy to walk on. The road that the females walk on is paved by the males step by step. It is just right for one person to walk, but it seems a bit crowded if two people walk.

Because of her injured foot, Lu Mian'er walked slowly. She had to jog every few steps to catch up with Hu Jiaojiao.

After being scratched on the arm by the branches next to her for the nineteenth time, Hu Jiaojiao was very upset.

What's wrong with Lu Mian'er?

Why did she squeeze in with me when there was such an empty road ahead? Was she looking for trouble?

Hu Jiaojiao took a deep breath and was about to walk to the front. Lu Mian'er glanced at her and mustered up the courage to speak, "Hu Jiaojiao, thank you for saving me today."

After that, Lu Mian'er exhaled and hurried on.

"I misunderstood you before. I said something unpleasant to you. If you are angry, just scold me and beat me. I will do anything as long as you can vent your anger."

She was not loved by her father and mother since she was a child, and her younger brother bullied her in various ways. She thought that only Ying Yuan and Hu Jing were truly kind to her in the world, but she didn't expect that Hu Jiaojiao, whom she always hated, would risk her life to save her.

She will never forget such a great kindness in her life.

"Lu Mian'er, you..." Hu Jiaojiao turned her head and looked at her strangely, "Are you crazy?"

She was not sick, why did he beat and scold her.

Did the stray beastman just hit her in the head?

Thinking of this, Hu Jiaojiao frowned, reached out to touch Lu Mian'er's forehead, and moved closer to check.

"No fever, no wounds..." she murmured to herself.

Lu Mian'er shyly nodded her chin, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her gentle voice was full of expectation, "I'm not injured, Hu Jiaojiao... Do you forgive me?"

Hu Jiaojiao glanced at the team that lagged behind a lot, and nodded vaguely, "Uh-huh, forgive me."

After that, she supported Lu Mian'er and sped up to catch up with the team.

If you dawdle any more, you will fall behind.

It is not a good thing for a female to fall behind in the forest.

Lu Mian'er looked down at Hu Jiaojiao holding her hand, and her heart was even more moved.

Hu Jiaojiao was so kind, knowing that she was injured, she even helped her walk together.

A group of orcs returned to the tribe, but found a group of orcs gathered at the entrance of the tribe, chattering and looking anxious.

Seeing Hu Jiaojiao and his group of orcs, a cry of surprise came from the orcs.

"The chief is back! Quick, let the chief come over..."

"Chief, something bad has happened!"
