Xiao Li was stunned. "What the—?! They’re so small, and they dare to fight me?!" He puffed his chest like a little warrior. "I’m not scared of you!"
But the next second, he felt a cold gaze. He slowly turned his head. His father was staring at him.
Xiao Li immediately straightened. "I... I was just playing..." he said quickly.
Then, to change the situation, he suddenly picked up Xiao San. "Come here!" And kissed him hard on the head.
Xiao San froze. He was just ready to fight for his brother, but now his mind went blank.
What just happened? He slowly trembled.
Then his face filled with disgust. Who is this stinky boy?! Only his mother, grandmother, grandfather... even father could kiss him! But this random boy?!
Xiao Sen shivered. Then he quickly wiped his head on Xiao Yi’s arm again and again. "Dirty! Dirty! So dirty!"
Xiao Yi: "...."
The room went silent for a second. Then everyone burst into laughter.
Even Wang Mulan couldn’t stop laughing. Mo Qingli held his stomach.
Su Mingxuan shook his head helplessly. And Xiao Li stood there, completely confused.
"...What did I do wrong now?"
The house was filled with noise, laughter, and chaos. But it felt warm like a real family.
Mo Qingli immediately picked up the still disgusted Xiao San into his arms.
"Alright, alright... don’t scrunch your little face like that," he said gently. "Let grandpa wipe it for you."
He carefully wiped Xiao San’s head where Xiao Li had kissed him. Xiao San blinked in surprise.
Surprisingly, he didn’t struggle this time.
Usually, he would never stay quietly in someone else’s arms unless it was his close family.
But for some reason, this big grandpa’s arms felt warm and safe. So he just stayed there, letting him clean his head.
Mo Qingli smiled slightly. But then his gaze suddenly paused. His eyes narrowed just a little.
In Xiao San’s thick black hair, something small was peeking out. Two tiny horns. They were almost completely hidden by his soft hair, so most people wouldn’t notice. But Mo Qingli’s eyes were sharp. He saw them clearly.
His heart skipped a beat. Horns... He stared at them for a moment. He even wanted to reach out and touch them.
But he stopped himself. He knew very well that Teng snake beastmen’s horns were extremely sensitive. If he touched them carelessly, this little cub might bite him without hesitation. So he calmly pulled his hand back.
But inside, he was shocked. A Teng Clan snake actually has a child? That alone was unbelievable. Everyone knew how rare it was. Almost impossible. Yet here he was, holding one in his arms.
Mo Qingli’s eyes deepened with interest. Now he was truly curious. Very curious. What kind of man is this? The one who could leave behind a child. And even more, what was he doing here in such a lower domain?
A thought suddenly flashed in his mind.
