Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Return the Child, and I Can Spare Your Life

The two of them scoured the other caves in the tribe and found quite a few things that Xiong Jiaojiao had previously stolen, such as the clothes and skirts the original owner had brought, along with a few blankets and fur coats. In short, Shen Yue took back everything that was hers.

When they left, Xiong Jiaojiao and the black bear male were still entangled, having rolled out of the cave.

Coincidentally, over there was a spear-shovel that the original owner had brought with her.

"Si Muye, see that shovel over there? That’s mine too. Go get it, quickly!"

Si Muye glanced over and happened to see the two of them changing positions.

His face flushed crimson, and his neck was so red it looked like it might bleed.

He took a deep breath, not daring to let his eyes wander, and steeled himself to walk over.

Watching him take tiny, mincing steps, Shen Yue quietly cheered him on:

"You can do it, Si Muye! My innocent little bear, don’t be afraid of a little hardship!"

Si Muye: "..."

’Innocent little bear?’

He was the strongest and most ferocious warrior of the Ancient Bear Family, the oldest of all.

...

After grabbing everything, the two returned to their cave.

But just as they reached the entrance, Si Muye stopped in his tracks.

"Wait!"

His expression sharpened as he vigilantly sensed his surroundings.

Shen Yue also detected a faint, unfamiliar aura.

She was instantly alarmed.

"Someone’s been here!"

’This is bad.’

’My Dabao and the other cubs!’

She instantly dashed inside, running to the soft grass mat. One look, and she froze on the spot.

Dabao was still there!

But...

One of the eggs was gone!

Si Muye rushed in as well, freezing for a second, his eyes wide.

Then, he turned and headed straight back out.

"I’ll go after them!"

The aura hadn’t dissipated yet, which meant the person had just left!

Shen Yue’s breathing grew tight.

She had lost an egg!

Who would be so shameless as to steal someone else’s egg in this Beast World, where females were precious and fertility rates were low?

She searched the original owner’s memories in her mind. Across the entire Beast World, it was rare for anyone to steal a cub.

After all, a cub’s aura and bloodline were connected to its biological female mother and male father. Even if stolen, it would be easily recognized by its birth parents. A stolen cub could never be properly raised in another’s home.

Furthermore, cubs were precious and protected throughout the Beast World, just like females. Very few would do such a thing.

She trembled with anger and rushed out of the cave after Si Muye.

Right now, she wasn’t afraid of anything else, only that her cub might be in danger. What if it had been taken by some deviant from a Beast Clan? Or worse, one of those legendary, irredeemably evil Evil Beasts with corrupted spiritual power. It was said they devoured cubs to replenish their own spiritual power.

Si Muye saw her follow him out.

"A Yue, don’t worry. Stay in the cave and wait, I’ll go after them."

"I will definitely bring the child back for you."

Listening to him, Shen Yue’s eyes grew red with worry.

"I can sense the child’s aura."

As she spoke, she began to concentrate, attempting to use the innate auric connection between a mother and child in the Beast World to pinpoint the direction her child had vanished.

Si Muye watched her, just about to speak.

"What’s that?"

Shen Yue’s sharp eyes suddenly spotted a rustling in the tall grass not far away.

Si Muye immediately looked over. There was indeed something there.

The two of them moved cautiously in that direction.

Shen Yue grew tense. She clutched a silver needle in her hand, her eyes fixed warily on the patch of grass.

Si Muye radiated the aura of a powerful expert and his spiritual power, causing the surrounding air to stir invisibly. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

He narrowed his eyes and threatened:

"Come out! You can’t escape."
