Although Shen Yue had already accepted that she had given birth to six different species, she still found it a bit surreal at night when she looked at the little cubs clinging to her arms, legs, and even her neck as she slept.
Aside from Sanbao, the other five were all fluffy, and sleeping next to them made her break out in a sweat from the heat.
But Sanbao, the one in her arms, was like a block of ice, leaving her chest cold and her back hot.
In the middle of the night, Shen Yue was sleeping soundly when she groggily felt something blocking her mouth and nose, suffocating her to the point where she could barely breathe.
Her eyes flew open, only to find Wubao sprawled out on his back, fast asleep on her face.
His round little belly and fine fur were pressed firmly against her face, and his four paws were wrapped tightly around her head, just like a koala.
Shen Yue: "..."
She nearly suffocated right then and there.
’Now this is true love. Love so strong it nearly smothered his old mother to death!’
Shen Yue tried to lift him off, but she found her arm was also being held tightly. Another cub was lying on her shoulder, and one was curled up on her thigh.
After finally managing to get Wubao off her, she prepared to go back to sleep.
But before long, the pack of little cubs had pushed her right off the straw mat.
She was so exhausted that she just slept on the ground.
But she had a dream. In the dream, her little cubs were playing in a forest. Wubao and Liu Bao were roughhousing together in a clearing.
Dabao and Si Bao were nearby. Suddenly, a boulder rolled down from the slope above. Wubao and Liu Bao didn’t have time to react before the massive rock crushed them.
Dabao and Si Bao, who had tried to save them, were also knocked unconscious by the boulder.
From that day on, she had lost Wubao and Liu Bao forever. Not even her Vitality Water could save them after they had been smashed into a pulp.
Dabao and Si Bao suffered injuries of varying degrees and remained unconscious for a full month before waking. Afterward, the two cubs were trapped in the shadow of Wubao’s and Liu Bao’s deaths, becoming unusually timid, and their spiritual power was damaged.
It took her a long time to restore the two cubs’ spiritual power, but the pain of losing Wubao and Liu Bao was something she could never forget.
When Shen Yue opened her eyes, her heart was still trembling with grief.
But when she looked, she saw that the little ones had followed her off the straw mat, and they were all sprawled out asleep beside her.
Shen Yue instantly breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a dream.
It had been a false alarm. She reached out, hugged Wubao and Liu Bao, and took a few deep breaths of their scent. Thank goodness they were all by her side. She couldn’t bear to lose any of these cute, fluffy little ones.
When she got up in the morning, Si Muye was already continuing his work, weaving straw mats.
His head was bowed, and he hadn’t yet noticed Shen Yue standing at the cave entrance. His powerful arms pulled taut on the hemp ropes he was weaving, and beads of sweat trickled down his slightly exposed chest, the sight bursting with raw tension.
Especially the way those drops of sweat slid down his firm pectoral muscles... so sexy, so manly...
’I can’t look. If I keep looking, I might commit a crime,’ Shen Yue thought, clearing her throat.
"Why are you up so early?"
She had no idea when he had woken up.
Hearing her voice, Si Muye looked up. His eyes met Shen Yue’s fair and flawless face, and his pupils instantly constricted as a blush crept across his cheeks.
Compared to yesterday, the A Yue of today was dazzlingly beautiful.
A single glance was enough to captivate anyone, making it impossible to look away. With the melanin and dark spots gone, her face was as clean and delicate as white porcelain. Her large eyes fluttered, and as her gaze shifted, the depths of her irises were as clear as water, gentle and full of emotion. A beauty mark rested at the corner of her eye, making her look exquisitely moving—a beauty that made the heart tremble.
Her red lips, in particular, were like a plump cherry, glistening in the morning light and making one desperately want to pounce and steal a kiss.
Si Muye’s Adam’s apple bobbed. For a long moment, he couldn’t find his voice.
It wasn’t until Shen Yue walked closer, the adoration in his eyes nearly spilling over, that he abruptly came to his senses.
He blushed and said in a raspy voice:
"Las... last night I saw you sleeping on the ground again. I wanted to weave a few more straw mats so you and the children would have enough space to sleep."
He didn’t want her to catch a cold.
"I’ll give him three more days at most. If he doesn’t get lost after three days, I, the General, will not hesitate to take action myself."
