Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Great Emperor Master, It’s a Real Flood Dragon Cub, and It’s Your Child

At that moment, Wubao and Liu Bao were roughhousing right in front of the slope, and Dabao and Si Bao were also very close by.

Er Bao and Sanbao were a bit farther away, playing in the water.

This scene was exactly the same as in her dream last night.

She instantly looked up the slope. A massive boulder was perched precariously at the top, looking as if a single gust of wind could send it rolling down.

Shen Yue’s breath hitched. She instantly dropped the crab in her hand and dashed forward.

"Wubao, Liu Bao, look out!"

Just as she sprang up, by a terrible coincidence, a gust of wind blew through the mountains. The boulder on the slope shifted, showing signs of falling.

Shen Yue’s heart leaped into her throat. She shouted as she ran:

"Get out of the way! Move, Wubao, Liu Bao!!"

Shen Yue’s voice nearly cracked from the strain.

Just then, a few small pebbles propping up the boulder loosened and rolled down in front of the still-playful Wubao and Liu Bao. The two little ones immediately looked up.

As the pebbles slid away, the giant boulder on the slope came crashing down like Mount Tai, rolling straight toward them.

The two little ones were so scared their fur stood on end. They turned to run.

But it was too late.

The boulder was about to crush them.

Dabao and Er Bao cried out in alarm and were about to rush over.

"Wubao! Liu Bao!!"

In the nick of time, Shen Yue lunged forward, snatched up Wubao and Liu Bao, and threw them out of the way.

"Dabao! Er Bao! Don’t come over here!!"

Dabao and Er Bao stopped in their tracks, terrified, and screamed:

"Female mother!!"

Having been thrown a safe distance, Wubao and Liu Bao scrambled up from the ground, looked back, and shrieked in terror:

"Female mother, no!!"

The boulder was already descending upon Shen Yue’s head, pressing down with the force of a hurricane. Her heart seized. ’Is there really no escape?’

’No, I can’t die.’

On pure reflex, she covered her head and rolled her body as much as possible, trying to reduce the chances of being crushed to death instantly.

Even if she were maimed or crippled, she could use Vitality Water to recover. But if she died outright, there would be no coming back.

This was what Shen Yue was thinking at that moment. She hoped to save herself and was prepared for the possibility of being crippled and in immense pain.

She closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to hit.

’I can do this.’

She never imagined that she, who had once been so carefree, would one day be so unafraid of death for the sake of a few children!!

But...

Just as the boulder was about to crush her, as the cubs’ terrified cries rose all around...

BANG!

The great boulder seemed to have been pierced by some immense force. It exploded in an instant, the fragments grazing past her head.

The excruciating pain she expected never came. Her eyes flew open.

She saw shattered fragments of rock scatter everywhere, yet not a single one hit her. Only a few small, sharp pieces scraped her arm.

The cubs reacted with lightning speed, all dropping to the ground to avoid the spray of debris.

Still shaken, she didn’t have time to figure out what had just happened.

The cubs scrambled up and threw themselves at her.

"Female mother!"

"*Sob sob*, female mother!"

"Female mother, are you okay? Does it hurt, female mother?"

"Female mother, you’re bleeding! *Sob*, Er Bao doesn’t want female mother to bleed!"

The group of little cubs was terrified, wailing their eyes out.

Even the usually cold Sanbao stood beside her with a pale little face, gripping her sleeve tightly with his small hand and staring at her blankly, terrified she would disappear.

Shen Yue’s eyes reddened. Just a moment ago, she truly believed she would be dead or crippled, that she would never see her adorable cubs again.

She sat on the ground and pulled the little ones into a tight hug.

"Female mother is fine. What about you? Are you hurt? Quick, tell female mother!"

"Wubao, Liu Bao, are you hurt? Female mother just threw you. Did it hurt when you fell?"

Shen Yue ran her hands over the little ones, checking them for injuries, her heart filled with worry.
