Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Chapter 125: No. 8

Mu Silin was grinning like a silly leopard.

His earlier disappointment and the bitter feeling of losing to the Flood Dragon instantly vanished.

Shen Yue looked at his tight grip on her hand and his love-struck eyes, then cleared her throat.

"Well, I’m glad you understand."

Mu Silin nodded hurriedly.

"I understand, of course I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll never ask you a question like that again."

Mu Silin shot to his feet, completely pumped up.

"Okay, you wait here in the courtyard. I’m going to check that cliff now. I swear I’ll bring them back."

Shen Yue nodded.

"Be careful, and don’t venture underground. If you encounter any danger, come straight back!"

"Okay. I’ll do whatever you say."

Ye Lüqi, carrying a bucket of water, had just returned when he ran into an ecstatic Mu Silin on his way out.

Their eyes met, and Mu Silin shot him a triumphant look.

Then he disappeared beyond the courtyard gate.

Provoked by the look, Ye Lüqi turned to Shen Yue in confusion.

"What was that look for? Did something good happen to him?"

Shen Yue replied with a perfectly straight face:

"He’s probably just in a good mood!"

"A good mood? Don’t tell me he found a gold nugget or went into heat? He was so cocky his tail was practically scraping the sky!"

He added with a disdainful grumble,

"I can’t stand his attitude. An outsider would think he’d beaten me to become your first Beast Husband!"

’Did this Golden Lion King overhear my conversation with Mu Silin?’ Shen Yue almost choked.

She immediately said,

"I sent him to check on that cliff."

Ye Lüqi scoffed. "Just for that? Look how smug he got."

Not to be outdone, he immediately declared,

"Then what is there for me to do? Just tell me. I’ll definitely do it better and faster than him!"

Seeing him jump at the chance to score points, Shen Yue didn’t hold back.

"Alright, then pour out the water first. I’ll heat it up for the children’s bath later."

"Then continue plastering on that yellow mud. While the weather’s good, once it dries, the house will be insulated for winter!"

Ye Lüqi immediately grinned.

"Great. With that silly leopard gone, I’m full of energy. How about I help you bathe the children later?"

Then, he added,

"And while I’m at it, I can help you bathe, too!"

Shen Yue looked at him in shock.

’What kind of shameless talk is this?’

’He wants to help me bathe just because the other guy isn’t here?’

’Didn’t that escalate quickly?’

Ye Lüqi’s neck turned red from her stare.

"Don’t misunderstand. I mean, if you want to bathe, I can help you scrub your back. My back-scrubbing skills are top-notch. I’ll definitely leave you satisfied."

Shen Yue stared at him.

In that instant, she could only see Ye Lüqi transforming into a burly bathhouse attendant in overalls, bare-chested, twirling a towel in his hand as he walked toward her step by step.

’The great king of a clan actually has a fetish for scrubbing people’s backs!’

’What kind of king is he, anyway?’

’And he’s even bragging that his skills are top-notch?’

’That must mean he’s done it for a lot of people before!’

She cleared her throat.

"I should give you a new name!"

Ye Lüqi: "Huh??"

’Why a new name all of a sudden?’

Shen Yue: "From now on, you’ll be called Technician Number Eight! This name suits you!"

Ye Lüqi was a little confused.

"Technician Number Eight? What does that mean?"

"It doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a special pet name for you. Remember, when I call out ’Number Eight’, I’m calling you."

"This name is yours and yours alone. It’s unique, just for you!"

’A pet name?’

’Just for me?’

Ye Lüqi’s eyes lit up!

’I have a unique pet name that no one else has?’
