The rest of the cubs were just as stunned, staring at the tiny orange fox cub perched securely in their grandfather’s arms.
Xiao Yi felt like he was about to pass out on the spot. He could tolerate Mo Xiao Li being his little uncle because Xiao Li was at least bigger than him!
But now he had a little cub as his uncle...a tiny thing he could flatten with a single tiger paw!
Where was his dignity supposed to go?! How could he ever show his face in Dragon Beast City again?! He strictly refused to call such a tiny creature "uncle"!
Seeking some moral support, Xiao Yi turned to look at his younger siblings, hoping they would stand with him. But the moment he looked over, he suddenly wanted to beat every single one of them!
Instead of protesting, all his younger brothers and sisters had immediately crowded around Su Mingxuan, sweet-talking in unison.
"Grandma! Grandfather! Little Uncle!"
Xiao Yi melodramatically clutched his heart with his paw and let out a piteous groan, rolling off the entrance steps.
Mo Xiao Li didn’t even bother comforting him...he just lifted his foot and lazily nudged the sulking tiger cub further away with his feet.
Xiao Yi sat in the corner, pouting furiously. Yet, neither his grandmother nor his grandfather noticed him.
Everyone was completely crowded around this new little uncle who had popped out of nowhere! Even his younger siblings were entirely smitten by the tiny fox!
Xiao Er and Xiao San were equally baffled. Xiao Er looked up at Su Mingxuan and asked directly, "Grandfather, is this your cub? Are you his father beast?"
Su Mingxuan glanced down at his grandcubs with a gentle smile and nodded.
"That’s right. He is your mother’s little brother, which makes him your little uncle. You all have to take good care of him, alright? He’s only one month old."
Hearing that, Lu Lu and Ru Ru, the twin wolf cubs, immediately swatted their big brothers out of the way to take a closer peek. The moment they saw how small, soft, and cute the little fox was, their eyes sparkled with affection.
Su Mingxuan kneeled down, allowing the wolf twins to hold him gently. The tiny fox cub was quite shy, burying his snout into his palm, but Ru Ru, the bigger twin, happily scooped him into a warm hug anyway.
Meanwhile, Mao Mao, the little lion cub, stood frozen in complete confusion.
How could there suddenly be a new cub here?! When they were last here before going to the Upper Domain, this little guy definitely wasn’t around!
Mao Mao pointed a paw at the fox cub and looked at his grandmother, his big eyes asking where on earth this cub came from.
Wang Mulan didn’t quite understand his silent cub gestures, but Su Mingxuan picked up on it instantly. He chuckled and said, "He was just born a month ago."
Mao Mao’s lion ears twitched in confusion. Just one month old? But where was he before that?!
Before Mao Mao could wrap his brain around it, Ciao Ciao, the little nine-tailed fox cub, smacked his goofy lion brother across the head with his fluffy tail!
