Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Need Help?

Back then, when the little ones saw their home in ruins—a courtyard with nowhere to even step—they cried, each more heartbroken than the last.

They all wailed that they had lost their home.

Shen Yue had been devastated too. Their perfectly good bamboo house, their lovely courtyard, their wonderful home... a place they had just grown accustomed to, destroyed so easily by someone else!

It was as if all the effort and emotion poured into it had been reduced to nothing in an instant.

To say she wasn’t sad and angry would be a lie.

So, she had taken her Electric Shock Stick and given the man in black a few more vicious jolts.

She had even stripped him naked, thrown him into the water to soak for a day, and vented all her frustrations on the spot.

Over the past three days, she had not only been carefully looking after her seven frightened children, but had also spent an entire day administering acupuncture to Mu Silin and the others.

Thanks to the Vitality Water and the acupuncture that cleared their meridians, Mu Silin and the others recovered their spiritual power after just one night’s sleep. By the next morning, they were back on their feet and moving with ease.

Only Huang Ziyue had injured his Spiritual Core, and he still needed another two days to recuperate.

Then, early this morning, the men had all unspokenly gone to cut down bamboo and chosen a new, flatter spot to start building a new house.

Shen Yue snapped out of her reverie and ruffled their little heads.

"You’re still too little to help much. Mama just went to check on it. The bamboo house is already built, and it’s even bigger and prettier than our old one. The yard is huge, too. How about Mama takes you over there after we eat?"

Upon hearing this, the little ones exclaimed:

"Wow, it’s already finished? That’s awesome!"

"Okay, let’s go after we eat! Er Bao wants to eat Mama’s grilled fish!"

"Xi Xi wants boiled corn."

"Liu Bao wants a whole roasted pig."

Listening to them, Shen Yue hugged them dotingly.

"Alright, alright. Whatever you want to eat, Mama will make it for you."

Shen Yue soon arrived at the mouth of their cave and began to cook.

Many of her cooking utensils had been destroyed in the sudden attack.

Thankfully, her stone pot was intact, as were the stone slabs for her small cooking stoves. She also rummaged through her dimensional space and found a usable steel pot and a medium-sized iron wok.

She didn’t even know when she had put these things in.

She only remembered that years ago, when she was testing this unknown space, she had tossed in anything and everything she came across. Since she’d never taken anything out, she had no idea what all was in there.

Looks like they were finally coming in handy.

Shen Yue decided to make this a celebratory meal for having survived the ordeal unscathed.

It was also a way to thank her men.

So she took out a few ears of corn that Xi Xi wanted, then also took out vegetables like broccoli, green beans, cucumber, and eggplant.

She also took out two pheasants, a few silver carp and yellow catfish, and a basket of capelin.

Then she took the goat that Ye Lüqi had hunted that day, prepared it, and set it on a spit over hot coals to roast.

When the roasting goat started to SIZZLE and release its fragrance, she began to pan-fry the capelin and grill the silver carp on a stone slab.

At the same time, she used the stone pot to make a spicy and numbing yellow catfish stew, adding glass noodles, bean sprouts, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots.

After setting the stone pot aside, she used the large iron wok to make braised chicken with potatoes and green beans.

She also made a smashed cucumber salad and a cold-dressed eggplant salad.

Finally, she used the steel pot to steam the corn and sweet potatoes, along with some other starches like kabocha squash.

Just as Shen Yue finished steaming everything and was about to brush another layer of seasoning on the whole roasted goat...

"It smells so good!"

A carefree, cheerful voice suddenly rang out.

Shen Yue looked up and saw Gu Fangqi standing on a tree branch, staring in amazement at the lidded pots in front of her and the whole roasted goat in her hands.

The man then leaped down.

His movements were impossibly graceful, a dazzling flash of red that was breathtaking to behold.

Shen Yue blinked.

"You didn’t leave!"

’Didn’t he say he was going to roam the world and that we’d meet again if fate decreed it?’

’Why is he back again?’

Gu Fangqi had originally intended to leave. That day, after helping Shen Yue tie up the man in black, he had said his goodbyes, saying they would meet again if fate allowed.

But shortly after leaving Wilderness Mountain, he had grown more and more puzzled the further he went.

This woman’s Beast Husbands were far from simple. Never mind the other four, just the Flood Dragon King of the Flood Dragon Clan alone was one of the most mysterious figures in the world.

In recent years, he rarely appeared in public, except for major events.

Back at his own coming-of-age coronation, the Blood Wolf Clan had to invite him repeatedly before he finally did them the honor of making a brief appearance.

So many years had passed, and all the rumors said he avoided people and was incredibly mysterious.

But no one had ever heard that this noble Flood Dragon King had taken a Female Master.

But now, here he was on Wilderness Mountain, living a reclusive life with this woman and even raising children!!

He found this utterly mind-boggling.

Thus, a spark of curiosity about this woman was ignited in him. What kind of woman could make the Great Emperor Master go to such lengths?

On top of that, he felt a familiar aura about her, a scent he seemed to have encountered somewhere before.

So, after some thought, he had inexplicably turned around and come back.

After all, he remembered that although he had tied up the man in black, there was no guarantee the man wouldn’t try to kill her again after waking up. And with her Beast Husbands so grievously injured—he didn’t even know if they were dead or alive—there would be no one to protect her.

Out of worry, he had gotten halfway before frantically rushing back.

He hadn’t expected to be greeted by such an incredible aroma the moment he arrived!

But what he expected even less was this woman’s face...

Just then, as Gu Fangqi descended from the air, Shen Yue looked up. At that exact moment, a gentle breeze lifted the soft hair from her cheek, and her magnificent, beautiful face slammed into his vision with perfect clarity.

At this moment.

He even forgot he was in mid-air.

He felt as if everything around him had frozen. The only sound in his ears was the powerful THUMP-THUMP of his own heart.

Even his breathing slowed unconsciously...

He knew, in that single instant, that something had begun to bloom wildly in his heart...

He let his eyes remain fixed on her face, completely entranced...

So much so that...

"THUD!"

Gu Fangqi ate dirt!

The head-first kind.

Shen Yue watched with wide eyes as Gu Fangqi leaped down, and then, right in front of her, plunged straight into the pile of broken trees beside them...

Seeing his legs sticking out and twitching...

Her mouth twitched. She hurried over and looked down at him.

"Are you alright?"

Gu Fangqi was head-down, butt-up, grimacing in pain.

But the moment he heard Shen Yue’s voice, he perked up as if he’d been shot with adrenaline. He turned his head and plastered on a smile more brilliant than any flower.

"I’m fine, I’m fine."

Shen Yue met his smile, surprised that such a wild and arrogant man could have such a warm smile.

So, she tilted her head and asked with an unconscious smile:

"Need a hand?"

Gu Fangqi looked up at her, experiencing her beauty at such close range. Meeting her faint smile, in that moment, it was as if a vine called "Infatuation" had broken through the soil of his heart and bloomed...

He was instantly mesmerized!

Utterly captivated!
