Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: I’ll Listen to You

Furthermore, in Mu Silin’s mind...

In hindsight, he now had every reason to believe that when the Ancient Bear Clan had been hunting Shen Yue, she had deliberately run out of the cave holding Er Bao.

That way, she could not only lead the members of the Ancient Bear Clan away and avoid the greatest harm, but also lure him, who was hiding in the shadows, into the forest.

And she was betting on whether he would step in to help her.

Her gamble had paid off. He really had been watching from the shadows, he did care for her and Er Bao’s safety, and he had, in fact, intervened.

Her ploy had been incredibly effective.

She had not only used him but tested him as well.

For such an intelligent woman to fall into this bottomless abyss and survive against the Lizardmen all on her own... it truly earned his admiration. He saw her in a completely new light.

So, no matter what decision she made, he would be right behind her, offering his unconditional support and following her lead.

Mu Silin had already followed Shen Yue into the pitch-black passage.

Although Bai Chaosi suspected Shen Yue’s judgment might be wrong, he would still stay right behind her and protect her no matter what.

So he followed as well.

After the three of them entered the passage, they walked for quite some time as the temperature steadily dropped.

Even the flashlight began to fog up with condensation.

Shen Yue shivered from the cold.

Behind her, as if telepathically connected, Mu Silin and Bai Chaosi both took off their coats at the same time and moved to drape them over her.

But their hands bumped into each other.

Mu Silin was the first to speak.

"Wear mine. It’s warmer."

Bai Chaosi retorted,

"How could a Leopard’s fur be as warm as a fox’s? Wear mine."

Mu Silin sneered.

"Don’t forget I’m from the Black Panther Clan of Muxue City. My clothes are better for warding off the cold."

A hint of mockery appeared on Bai Chaosi’s gentle face.

"Warding off the cold is different from being naturally resistant to it. We of the White Fox Clan are born in the icy world of Snow Ridge. Our fur provides warmth and protection from the cold. Can a Leopard like you even compare?"

Shen Yue looked at the two coats held out halfway toward her.

’I do want to wear one.’

But the two of them were determined to win this argument, and neither had any intention of backing down.

She cleared her throat.

"Um, actually, if you don’t mind, I could wear both. I’m afraid of the cold."

She was telling the absolute truth.

In this Beast World, males with spiritual power had extremely strong natural resistance to the cold. They’d have no problem swimming bare-chested in a world of ice and snow.

But for a weak female like her, without any spiritual power, cold was truly cold. It could be fatal.

But as soon as she said this, the two men looked at her.

"I mind!"

"I mind!"

They said in unison.

After all, if she wore both, their scents would mix. They didn’t want their own clothes picking up the other’s foul stench.

Shen Yue: "..."

’Fine then.’

’If you won’t let me wear them, I’ll just freeze.’

’I have a thick, padded jacket in my dimensional space, but I can’t just pull it out of thin air in front of them.’

’After all, I don’t know either of them well. We’re hardly what you’d call familiar.’

’Right now, we’re just temporary teammates. I have no idea about their personalities.’

’So, to be safe, I have to stay on guard. I can’t casually reveal my dimensional space or abilities. Otherwise, I’m afraid the men of this Beast World would treat me like a live specimen for research.’

Just as she was thinking this, she sneezed.

Seeing this, Mu Silin immediately moved to put his coat on her.

Who would have thought Bai Chaosi would be one step faster?

In a single motion, he had already wrapped his coat around her shoulders.

Mu Silin’s hand froze, and he glared at him.

"You!"

Bai Chaosi wrapped the coat tightly around Shen Yue, his tone soft and concerned.

"Mine is warmer. Wear it, so you don’t catch a chill."

Shen Yue’s mouth twitched. She looked up and met Bai Chaosi’s gentle, cool eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat.

’This man is devastatingly handsome!’

Seeing that Bai Chaosi had managed to wrap his coat around Shen Yue first, Mu Silin, refusing to be outdone, threw his own coat over her as well.

"Wear mine too. It’ll be even warmer!"

Shen Yue: "..."

’Didn’t you just say you minded?!’

Bai Chaosi was naturally not pleased. He reached out to pull off the other coat, his voice coolly gentle.

"Mine is enough. There’s no need for another!"

Mu Silin held his coat in place.

"How is one enough? Didn’t you see her sneeze just now?"

"I said it’s enough, so it’s enough!"

"It’s not enough! What if she freezes?"
