Chapter 918: Chapter 918: The Cubs Are Sensible; Their Fathers Are Not

However, before Xuan Long could teach the silly fox a lesson, a small voice suddenly rang out from outside the gate.

"Waaah! Father Rong Ye is bad!"

Everyone froze.

They turned toward the entrance and saw Yue Yue sitting outside with tears streaming down her little face. Her tiny white snake body was curled up on the ground, and her blue gemstone eyes were filled with tears.

"Father Rong Ye is saying that Yue Yue is a bad beastman!"

She burst into even louder sobs.

"Waaah! Yue Yue doesn’t kidnap females! Yue Yue is not bad!"

Su Qinglan’s expression changed instantly.

Oh, no!

She had completely forgotten that Yue Yue was a feral beastman too!

Rong Ye’s face turned pale. He had only been arguing with Xuan Long. Who would have thought that Yue Yue had heard everything?

And now, the little girl thought he was calling her a bad beastman!

"Yue Yue, wait! That’s not what I meant!"

"Waaah! Father Rong Ye is bad!"

Yue Yue cried even harder. She had always liked Father Rong Ye, but now he had said such terrible things about feral beastmen. Didn’t that mean he thought she was bad too?

The little snake girl felt terribly wronged.

She hadn’t kidnapped anyone!

She hadn’t done anything bad!

Why was Father Rong Ye saying such things?

Rong Ye felt his head ache. He had offended Xuan Long, and now he had offended Yue Yue as well.

Was there no one in this family he could speak to without getting into trouble? Before he could think of a way to explain himself, a small white fox suddenly rushed toward Yue Yue. It was Ciao Ciao.

The little fox had been playing nearby when he heard his little sister crying. He immediately abandoned his dried meat and ran over.

When he saw Yue Yue’s tearful face, his little heart ached. He quickly wrapped his little paws around her slender snake body and pulled her close, gently hugging her.

"Yue Yue, don’t cry!"

He rubbed his cheek against her scales and tried his best to comfort her.

"Father Rong Ye is just stupid! He doesn’t even think before speaking. He’s even more stupid than a little cub!"

Rong Ye’s face instantly darkened.

Who was stupid?!

Which little brat was insulting his father?!

But before he could open his mouth, Ciao Ciao continued. "Yue Yue is the best! Yue Yue is a good beastman! You don’t have to listen to Father Rong Ye because he doesn’t know anything!"

The little fox hugged his sister even tighter.

"Don’t cry anymore, okay? If you keep crying, your eyes will hurt!"

Yue Yue sniffled and looked at him with her tear-filled eyes.

"Really?"

"Of course!" Ciao Ciao nodded firmly. "Father Xuan Long is a good beastman too, so Yue Yue is definitely good!"

He paused before adding seriously, "Father Rong Ye is just a silly fox who talks nonsense!"

Rong Ye’s face turned completely black. He looked at the little fox hugging Yue Yue and felt his blood pressure rising.

First, Xuan Long had threatened to teach him a lesson. Now, his own little cub was openly calling him stupid!

What had he done to deserve this?

Su Qinglan couldn’t help covering her mouth to hide her smile.

Meanwhile, Xuan Long’s expression finally improved. He glanced at Rong Ye with a satisfied look, as though saying, See? Even your own cub knows you’re talking nonsense.

"Don’t worry, Yue Yue. When we grow up, we’ll become very strong. Then no one will dare to bully you!"

Yue Yue finally stopped crying so loudly and leaned against her brother’s fluffy body.

"Mm!"

Su Qinglan looked at the two little cubs hugging each other and comforting one another, and her heart immediately softened.

How wonderful!

She had always hoped that her cubs would love and care for each other. No matter how many children she had in the future, she wanted them to grow up loving their siblings instead of fighting with one another.

And now, seeing Ciao Ciao and Yue Yue so close, she couldn’t help smiling.

She immediately reached out and pulled both cubs into her arms. Then she kissed Ciao Ciao’s little head before kissing Yue Yue’s as well.

"Ciao Ciao is absolutely right. Your Father Rong Ye really doesn’t know what to say!"

Rong Ye, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly froze. He slowly turned his head toward Su Qinglan and saw her looking at him with a meaningful expression.

His heart immediately skipped a beat.

Oh no!

His loud mouth had gotten him into trouble again!

"Lanlan, listen to me! I didn’t mean Yue Yue. I was talking about other feral beastmen. You know, those who kidnap females and cause trouble everywhere!" He hurriedly jumped toward them and tried to explain himself.

Su Qinglan raised an eyebrow.

"Rong Ye, have you ever met another feral beastman apart from Xuan Long?"

Rong Ye opened his mouth but couldn’t answer.

"Even if some feral beastmen are bad, does that mean all of them are bad? You shouldn’t judge an entire group because of a few individuals." Su Qinglan shook her head and continued, "Besides, have you ever seen Xuan Long hurt anyone without a reason? He is such a gentle and considerate beastman."

As she spoke, she turned around and patted Xuan Long’s arm.

The usually calm man, who had been standing rigidly behind her, suddenly felt the tips of his ears growing hot.

Gentle?

Considerate?

Was she really talking about him?

Su Qinglan seemed to think that her praise wasn’t enough, so she patted his arm again.

Xuan Long’s ears turned even redder.

Meanwhile, Rong Ye stared at the scene in disbelief.

Gentle? Xuan Long?

Why did those two words sound so strange when placed together?

Had Lanlan never seen how terrifying this snake was when he started beating someone?

Rong Ye could still remember how Xuan Long had beaten him until he felt as if every bone in his body was about to shatter. This fellow was the biggest hooligan in their entire family!

And now he was being called gentle and considerate?

Rong Ye nearly choked on his own breath. Even in the past, this snake has only known Lanlan for two days, yet he has already warmed her heart! It took me almost a whole month to win her affection!

As if sensing his thoughts, Xuan Long turned his head and gave him a cold look.

Rong Ye glared back. In the next instant, the two of them were staring at each other again.

Su Qinglan could only shake her head helplessly. She had heard that cats and mice were natural enemies, but in her family, it seemed that foxes and snakes were the real rivals!

Yet when she lowered her head, she saw Ciao Ciao and Yue Yue snuggling happily in her arms. One was a little fox, while the other was a little snake, but they were getting along so well.

Her heart filled with warmth.

At least her cubs were sensible, considerate, and loving toward one another.

She kissed both of their heads again and whispered, "Babies, you must never fight with each other, okay? Mommy doesn’t like fighting."

Ciao Ciao and Yue Yue nodded obediently. Then, as if they had reached an agreement without saying a word, both cubs turned their heads and glared at their fathers.

Their little expressions seemed to say the same thing.

You are the bad ones! You keep fighting and making Mommy sad!

Rong Ye was speechless.

Xuan Long’s expression stiffened.

And Su Qinglan, looking at her two obedient little cubs, finally smiled with satisfaction.
