Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: I’ll Listen to You

Furthermore, in Mu Silin’s mind...

In hindsight, he now had every reason to believe that when the Ancient Bear Clan had been hunting Shen Yue, she had deliberately run out of the cave holding Er Bao.

That way, she could not only lead the members of the Ancient Bear Clan away and avoid the greatest harm, but also lure him, who was hiding in the shadows, into the forest.

And she was betting on whether he would step in to help her.

Her gamble had paid off. He really had been watching from the shadows, he did care for her and Er Bao’s safety, and he had, in fact, intervened.

Her ploy had been incredibly effective.

She had not only used him but tested him as well.

For such an intelligent woman to fall into this bottomless abyss and survive against the Lizardmen all on her own... it truly earned his admiration. He saw her in a completely new light.

So, no matter what decision she made, he would be right behind her, offering his unconditional support and following her lead.

Mu Silin had already followed Shen Yue into the pitch-black passage.

Although Bai Chaosi suspected Shen Yue’s judgment might be wrong, he would still stay right behind her and protect her no matter what.

So he followed as well.

After the three of them entered the passage, they walked for quite some time as the temperature steadily dropped.

Even the flashlight began to fog up with condensation.

Shen Yue shivered from the cold.

Behind her, as if telepathically connected, Mu Silin and Bai Chaosi both took off their coats at the same time and moved to drape them over her.

But their hands bumped into each other.

Mu Silin was the first to speak.

"Wear mine. It’s warmer."

Bai Chaosi retorted,

"How could a Leopard’s fur be as warm as a fox’s? Wear mine."

Mu Silin sneered.

"Don’t forget I’m from the Black Panther Clan of Muxue City. My clothes are better for warding off the cold."

A hint of mockery appeared on Bai Chaosi’s gentle face.

"Warding off the cold is different from being naturally resistant to it. We of the White Fox Clan are born in the icy world of Snow Ridge. Our fur provides warmth and protection from the cold. Can a Leopard like you even compare?"

Shen Yue looked at the two coats held out halfway toward her.

’I do want to wear one.’

But the two of them were determined to win this argument, and neither had any intention of backing down.

She cleared her throat.

"Um, actually, if you don’t mind, I could wear both. I’m afraid of the cold."

She was telling the absolute truth.

In this Beast World, males with spiritual power had extremely strong natural resistance to the cold. They’d have no problem swimming bare-chested in a world of ice and snow.

But for a weak female like her, without any spiritual power, cold was truly cold. It could be fatal.

But as soon as she said this, the two men looked at her.

"I mind!"

"I mind!"

They said in unison.

After all, if she wore both, their scents would mix. They didn’t want their own clothes picking up the other’s foul stench.

Shen Yue: "..."

’Fine then.’

’If you won’t let me wear them, I’ll just freeze.’

’I have a thick, padded jacket in my dimensional space, but I can’t just pull it out of thin air in front of them.’

’After all, I don’t know either of them well. We’re hardly what you’d call familiar.’

’Right now, we’re just temporary teammates. I have no idea about their personalities.’

’So, to be safe, I have to stay on guard. I can’t casually reveal my dimensional space or abilities. Otherwise, I’m afraid the men of this Beast World would treat me like a live specimen for research.’

Just as she was thinking this, she sneezed.

Seeing this, Mu Silin immediately moved to put his coat on her.

Who would have thought Bai Chaosi would be one step faster?

In a single motion, he had already wrapped his coat around her shoulders.

Mu Silin’s hand froze, and he glared at him.

"You!"

Bai Chaosi wrapped the coat tightly around Shen Yue, his tone soft and concerned.

"Mine is warmer. Wear it, so you don’t catch a chill."

Shen Yue’s mouth twitched. She looked up and met Bai Chaosi’s gentle, cool eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat.

’This man is devastatingly handsome!’

Seeing that Bai Chaosi had managed to wrap his coat around Shen Yue first, Mu Silin, refusing to be outdone, threw his own coat over her as well.

"Wear mine too. It’ll be even warmer!"

Shen Yue: "..."

’Didn’t you just say you minded?!’

Bai Chaosi was naturally not pleased. He reached out to pull off the other coat, his voice coolly gentle.

"Mine is enough. There’s no need for another!"

Mu Silin held his coat in place.

"How is one enough? Didn’t you see her sneeze just now?"

"I said it’s enough, so it’s enough!"

"It’s not enough! What if she freezes?"

Bai Chaosi said,

"Take your coat off!"

"Why should I? I think you’re the one who should take yours off!"

"I put mine on her first. Why should I take it off?"

The two of them began pulling back and forth at the coats on her body.

Shen Yue was pulled around, swiveling left and right like a robot.

She was getting dizzy.

She slapped their hands off her shoulders.

"Gentlemen, I’m going to be sick!"

The two of them stopped instantly.

Mu Silin saw her pale face, and it dawned on him. He asked with heartfelt concern,

"Shen Yue, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Bai Chaosi also felt a pang of guilt.

"I’m sorry. Did we hurt you?"

After all, she had been poisoned by the Lizardmen. Although she claimed to have cleared the poison, they knew that even an S-rank Healing Doctor might not have a solution for that kind of toxin. How could Shen Yue possibly have cleared it on her own?

Therefore, they were constantly monitoring her condition, afraid the poison would flare up.

Sandwiched between two tall, handsome men, Shen Yue felt like she was suffocating.

There was no air circulating.

She took a deep breath, exasperated.

"No. I’m wearing the coats. Shouldn’t I be the one to decide if it’s enough, if I’m cold or not? What are you two arguing about!"

The two men: "..."

They both fell silent.

She continued,

"I’m cold. I want both. I’ll wear both. Is that okay?"

Seeing that Shen Yue was a little unhappy, the two of them tactfully nodded quickly.

"Of course."

Bai Chaosi added, "No problem."

Shen Yue looked at them and forced a polite smile.

"So, for the rest of the way, no more fighting, okay?"

Mu Silin nodded his head vigorously.

"Okay, I’ll listen to you! I won’t fight anymore."

Bai Chaosi: "Yes, we’ll listen to you."

Shen Yue finally let out a sigh of relief.

She raised the flashlight and continued deeper inside.

What she didn’t know was that she was in the middle of a chaotic scene in the underground Mist Cave.

Meanwhile, on the surface, Huang Ziyue, Ye Lüqi, and Lan Cangyue were in dire straits of their own.

"WAAAHHH! I want my female mother!"

"Female mother, Er Bao wants a hug from his female mother! I miss my female mother!"

"You bad man! Si Bao doesn’t want you to hold him! I want my female mother!"

"You’re not my Father! Dabao only wants his female mother!"

The seven cubs’ cries shook the heavens.

They sat under that tree for several hours, refusing to move a single step.

The three of them—Huang Ziyue, Ye Lüqi, and Lan Cangyue—were at their wits’ end.

No amount of coaxing could console them.

Er Bao and Liu Bao had even cried until they fainted.

To make matters worse, the fathers of both Er Bao and Liu Bao had jumped into the chasm after Shen Yue. Now, the three remaining men were left to care for seven cubs, and they were completely at a loss.

The scene was one of utter chaos!

Even their respective subordinates had been roped into the brutal ordeal of childcare.

Ye Lüqi desperately held onto Dabao, stopping him from digging at the dirt with his paws.

The little one wanted to find Shen Yue and had already dug until his paws were bleeding, yet he refused to stop.

He was like a child snatched by a villain, crying for his mother!

His fur was soaked with tears, and his eyes were swollen.

"Go away! You’re not my Father! Dabao wants to find his female mother! I want my female mother!"

"I don’t want my Father!"

Ye Lüqi and his subordinates felt their hearts ache as they looked at the large pit Dabao and the other little ones had dug in the ground.

Just then, as Huang Ziyue stood to one side, the subordinate he had sent to search for Shen Yue suddenly appeared, his expression grim.

"Great Emperor Master, your subordinate has searched the entire mountain and even investigated at its base. There is no trace of Miss Shen Yue’s scent!"

Hearing this, Huang Ziyue’s eyes darkened.

His chest tightened, as if a hand were squeezing his heart, an indescribable feeling of pain and suffocation.

It was a sensation he couldn’t get used to.

His aura grew colder and colder.

He looked at Sanbao, who was standing on the ground, silent tears rolling down his cheeks one after another. His heart ached even more, throbbing with sharp pains.

His child was different from the others. Even when he cried, he made no sound and wore no expression. He could only lose control of his emotions and weep endlessly.

He looked at his subordinate.

’I don’t believe it.’

’I don’t believe that this fierce woman just disappeared like that.’

’I absolutely will not allow it.’
