Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Good Heavens, How Is There Another Species?

After Si Muye went hunting, Shen Yue took Dabao and Er Bao to the open space in front of the cave to do their morning exercises.

"Dabao, Er Bao, watch closely. Female mother will demonstrate for you: the Ninth Set of Broadcast Calisthenics!"

"You have to learn it well, okay? It can stretch your muscles and strengthen your body!"

Dabao and Er Bao stood obediently behind her, clapping their little hands and paws excitedly and curiously.

"Yay, female mother is doing exercises! Dabao will learn them well!"

"Er Bao will too!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Shen Yue raised her voice. "Okay, get ready. Preparatory section."

She called out the instructions:

"Head up, chest out, gaze forward. Hands down by your sides, make a fist, raise your hands, march in place, and... go!"

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight! Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven... eight!"

Her steps were elegant and precise, a beautiful sight to behold.

The little ones behind her also marched in place, doing their best to imitate her, their gazes fixed forward as they clenched their little fists.

They also chanted the counts along with her.

Their high-pitched, childish voices held a unique charm in the morning mountain air.

Shen Yue: "Come on, first section, stretching... Step out with your left foot, open your arms, turn your head to the left, bring your right foot to your left, clench your fists, bend your knees..."

Watching Shen Yue teach this so-called "broadcast calisthenics" from above, Mu Silin couldn’t help but feel the corner of his mouth twitch.

’These soft, strange moves can strengthen your body?’

’And they’re so slow...’

’But how can this woman’s body be so flexible?’

’How are her movements so beautiful?’

He couldn’t help but stare, mesmerized.

After sending a message to the Royal City, the subordinate next to him returned to his side. Peering down below, he looked as if he had just discovered a new skill.

"General, this ’broadcast calisthenics’ thing actually looks pretty legitimate. How come we’ve never heard of it?"

’Could it be that we’ve been so isolated in Muxue City that we’ve fallen behind the times?’

’Are we unaware of the new exercise methods popular outside?’

As he spoke, he unconsciously started moving his arms and legs, trying to learn the routine.

"Can this really strengthen your body?"

He swung his fists, picking it up surprisingly quickly.

Mu Silin glanced at him, his eyelid twitching involuntarily...

Down below, Shen Yue only taught two sections, then had the two little cubs practice them repeatedly, worried they wouldn’t be able to remember.

Dabao’s performance was quite decent, but Er Bao, with his small, fluffy body... blinking his big eyes, trying hard to lift his little paws, his four legs kicking about—his earnest expression made Shen Yue want to laugh...

Dabao could at least turn into his human form, allowing him to stand upright and raise his hands.

But Er Bao... was a bona fide quadruped.

’He’s too cute.’

He was just like a wiggling little furball.

Shen Yue couldn’t resist squatting down and grabbing his two front limbs, forcing the little guy to stand upright.

He looked just like a kitten whose owner had lifted its front paws, forcing it to stand on its hind legs.

"Come on, female mother will guide you. Extend left paw, extend right paw... stick out your tongue..."

In her hands, Er Bao was like a little plush pet, forced to move according to her commands. It was absolutely hilarious.

Feeling this wasn’t enough, Shen Yue sped up her movements. Er Bao’s fluffy little belly started wiggling, and his hind legs hopped up and down as if he were disco dancing.

"Hahaha, Er Bao, you’re so funny!"

"Such a cute little leopard cub, so fun to play with..."

Watching Er Bao get manhandled by Shen Yue until he barely resembled a leopard anymore...

From the shadows, Mu Silin: "..."

’Oh, great. Just great.’

’Shen Yue, so this is how you treat my son!’

’Playing favorites, are you?’

’Raising the older son like a human and playing with the younger son like a dog!!’

Mu Silin was indignant, but his own cub was in Shen Yue’s hands with a look of pure enjoyment on his face. Those eyes, which should have been majestic and fierce leopard eyes, were squinted shut like a contented kitten’s.

’It’s infuriating!!’

Just then, a sound came from the cave below.
