"Mother, we are not tired..."
"We are not afraid of this little bit of sun!"
"Uncle Xieman, you underestimate us too much."
Several kids said with determined eyes, even though their faces were tanned like monkey butts, they never thought of giving up.
Yin Cang also nodded, "I won't reply either."
The orcs are still hunting outside. If they can't even endure this little heat, how can they become stronger
Hearing the cubs' answers, Hu Jiaojiao smiled and looked at Xie Man.
"I listen to them. If they want to practice, let them continue to practice."
Seeing that Hu Jiaojiao said this, Xie Man didn't say anything else.
"good."
After feeding the cubs the fruit, it was already two or three in the afternoon.
"Mom, we have rested well. You should go back soon. It's very hot outside." Long Yu pulled Hu Jiaojiao's clothes and said sensibly.
He didn't want his mother to get too hot because of sending them fruit.
After going through the hottest time of the day and sweating a lot, Hu Jiaojiao didn't feel so hot anymore.
She smiled gently and said:
"It's okay. Mother is not so fragile that she can't stand even this little bit of heat."
If Zaizai can persist in practicing in this environment, it would be really pretentious for her to complain about the heat.
She looked around and finally her eyes fell on the tree opposite the rabbit pen.
"Mother will wait for you here today. Let's go home together. There is shade over there. Mother will wait for you there." Hu Jiaojiao pointed to the tree on the other side of the river and said softly.
She has been busy recently and hasn't had much time to spend with her children.
Although the cubs are very sensible, this is not a reason for a mother to lack care for them.
When the kids heard this, a flash of surprise crossed their faces.
"Mom, you are going to wait for us here? Yeah, I can go home with mom today!" Long Yao jumped up with joy, and his rosy face became even redder.
It can be seen how much the little guy wants to spend time with Hu Jiaojiao.
Although Long Yu and the others also had joy in their eyes, they did not show it as openly as Long Yao.
Instead, the little faces were tense and looked serious.
"Mother, we are not little cubs anymore. You don't have to wait for us here."
"That's right, it's not like we won't go home..."
It was so hot outside, how could they bear to let their mother wait for them outside for the whole afternoon.
"Okay, Xieman is still waiting for you, go practice now, be safe, I'll be waiting for you on the other side of the river."
Fox Jiaojiao pushed the cubs without question and asked them to go back to the rabbit pen.
The kids didn't say anything and went back, looking back every few steps.
The group of cubs in the rabbit pen also looked at Fox Jiaojiao reluctantly, relying on her more than their own mother.
Hu Jiaojiao carried the basket to the big tree on the other side of the river, found a clean place, spread the animal skin on the ground and sat down.
After sitting for a while, I ended up lying down.
There was a cool breeze under the shade of the trees. As they were near the river, Hu Jiaojiao no longer felt the heat. Perhaps because she had been outside for a while, her body had adapted to the temperature.
There were not many orcs passing by here, and the orcs on the opposite side could not see her corner.
Hu Jiaojiao simply took out some iced mung bean soup from the space and drank it while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the animal world.
You know what, the sky in the animal world is always deep blue.
It's like someone applied a layer of paint.
Hu Jiaojiao had no free time before, but now it seems like she is enjoying it quite a different kind of life, as if the whole family has come to live in a paradise.
There is a big lake in the new tribe. It should be cooler in summer than here and suitable for summer escape.
When the new tribe is built, she can go there with Long Mo and the kids to escape the summer heat and have fun.
As Hu Jiaojiao was thinking about this, she actually fell asleep right under the tree.
When she woke up, the azure sky was already reflected with red clouds.
As the sun sets, the sky is filled with red clouds, and she feels as if she is behind a movie screen.
This was the first time that Hu Jiaojiao slept so soundly outside.
She glanced at the sky, quickly sat up, picked up the animal skins on the ground, put them in the bamboo basket, and prepared to pick up the cubs.
They should be ready by this point.
Sure enough, as soon as Hu Jiaojiao walked over, she heard the voices of cubs talking inside.
After a while, he saw several of his cubs running out and running in the front.
"Mother~"
Sweet cries surrounded Fox Jiaojiao.
Fox Jiaojiao bent down and hugged the cubs in her arms. She couldn't help but sigh that she had changed a lot after coming to the animal world.
In the past, she didn't like children because her parents favored her younger brother.
If she were a girl, she should be abandoned. She didn't even plan to have children in the future.
I didn't expect that after coming here, I would directly skip marriage and become a mother. Fortunately, my cubs are so well-behaved and sensible.
It broke her perception of children.
It turned out that what she really hated was not the children, but the extreme partiality, unfairness and backward thinking of those parents.
"Mom, shall we go home now? Xiaowu's stomach is so empty."
Long Yao touched his belly and said while licking his lips.
It’s strange to say, I wasn’t this hungry before I ate the fruit, but after eating the fruit my mother sent me this afternoon, I got hungrier even faster.
It must be because my mother’s fruit is so delicious.
"You only know how to eat. You're still hungry after eating the fruits today." Long Zhong glanced at Long Yao and complained unhappily.
They had been training for a whole day and now had no appetite to eat anything.
Only this greedy dragon can actually complain of being hungry.
"You stinky fox, I eat my mother's food, not yours, and why do you care about me?" Long Yao put his hands on his waist angrily and turned his head away, not wanting to talk to Long Zhong.
The two of them love bickering as always.
Hu Jiaojiao smiled and rubbed Long Yao's head soothingly.
"Let's not go back now. Let's go to the gate and wait for your father to come back together." She explained.
"Daddy is out hunting, it's very hard and it's also very dangerous. Yao'er, please be patient. Let's wait for daddy to come home and then make delicious food for you, okay?"
"Okay, Xiaowu and mom will go wait for daddy together." Long Yao nodded obediently, with a pure and kind face, without any of the mischievousness that he had just shown when bickering with Long Zhong.
"We'll wait for Daddy too."
The other kids nodded one after another without any objection.
They all obeyed Hu Jiaojiao's words.
Xie Man looked at these cubs who looked like little white rabbits in front of Hu Jiaojiao, and couldn't help but wonder if he was hallucinating.
Are these really the cubs that were so brave and fierce when hunting
Xie Man couldn't help but look at Hu Jiaojiao twice more.
Everything related to her seemed to become unusual.
"Xieman, the cubs and I will leave first." Hu Jiaojiao nodded politely to Xieman, then left with the cubs.
Long Yao followed Hu Jiaojiao, hopping and skipping, without using his beast form.
A few kids were walking behind, looking much calmer than Long Yao.
When the family walked together, it really felt like picking up their own children from school.
It’s just that Hu Jiaojiao has a little too many cubs.
