Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Divine Hall

At a time like this, he had no desire to argue with the fox.

He had never seen a female like Shen Yue, who could walk for so long without a single break, never once complaining or showing any sign of hardship.

Bai Chaosi felt the exact same way.

He was willing to do anything to ease Shen Yue’s mind and make her feel more comfortable.

Shen Yue had no idea the two men’s hearts were silently aching for her.

All she wanted was to get out of here quickly and see her cubs.

They must be terrified after she fell into this fissure.

So, she turned and started walking back the way they came.

But after just two steps, she stopped dead in her tracks.

She whipped her head around.

Bai Chaosi and Mu Silin, who were behind her, jumped in surprise.

Bai Chaosi asked,

"What’s wrong?"

Her gaze went past the two men, locking onto the ice wall.

"Smash the ice wall!"

The two men froze, exchanging a stunned glance.

Both were horrified.

Mu Silin looked at the ice wall and couldn’t stop himself from saying to Shen Yue,

"If we smash this ice wall in such a narrow passage, it could cause the whole tunnel to collapse!"

Bai Chaosi nodded in agreement.

"He’s right. In an enclosed passage like this, we have no idea where the ice wall is. If it’s blocking the exit, we’d be fine. But if it’s somewhere in the middle, smashing it will cause the entire area to collapse. We’ll never get out then!"

Shen Yue knew that, of course.

’The risk is huge!’

But she was certain about the wind she’d felt earlier. She trusted her judgment.

Besides, when she had just turned around, she’d clearly felt a breeze blowing against her back. That meant there was natural airflow on the other side of the ice wall, likely seeping in from a crevice or a fissure. The moment she turned, the two opposing currents had swirled together, and she had felt it.

Her senses had never failed her.

She looked at the two of them, her gaze resolute.

"I know everything you’ve said. Trust me, just this once. We’re smashing the ice wall."

"We can definitely get out."

Seeing her earnest expression, the two men looked at each other again.

When it came to the laws of survival in the Beast World and assessing dangerous situations, males were certainly more adept than females.

From their perspective, smashing the ice wall was out of the question.

But then, a light flickered in Mu Silin’s eyes.

In the span of a single breath, he made his decision.

’Since Shen Yue said it, and she’s so insistent, I’ll trust her unconditionally.’

’The worst that can happen is we die here together.’

’For me, Mu Silin, that would be worth it. After all, she already gave me children, so I don’t have to worry about my lineage ending.’

’I’d actually be happy to die with her.’

With that thought, he looked at her, his expression firm, and nodded.

"Okay. I’ll listen to you."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists.

He gathered his spiritual power, building its strength, ready to strike the ice wall.

But with a flash in his eyes, Bai Chaosi grabbed Mu Silin’s hand, stopping him.

Mu Silin demanded,

"What are you doing?"

Shen Yue’s head snapped toward him as well.

She thought Bai Chaosi was going to object to smashing the wall.

But instead, he said,

"One person’s strength won’t be enough. We’ll do it together."

Shen Yue was stunned.

’I can’t believe both of them are willing to trust me.’

She looked at Bai Chaosi, her gaze meeting his gentle eyes, where a deep emotion seemed to flicker.

It was something she couldn’t quite make out.

The corners of his lips curved into a slight smile. In the dim light of the cave, he was as breathtakingly beautiful as a blue lotus blooming on a snowy mountain.

He said,

"My name is Bai Chaosi. You must remember it, Shen Yue."

Though his voice was gentle and soft, it held an undeniable seriousness and gravity.

It was as if he were gravely instructing her that she *had* to remember his name.

Shen Yue felt a tremor run through her.

Only then did it dawn on her.

This whole time, she hadn’t even known the fox’s name.

A smile played on her lips as she tilted her head, returning his grin.

"Alright. As long as you don’t try to take the children from me when we get back, I’ll remember you."

’Otherwise, he’s nameless to me.’

’The kids come first!’

Her smile left Bai Chaosi dazed. He thought she looked utterly adorable with her head tilted so playfully.

’I accept it,’ he thought.

’Even if I die, it’ll be for her sake.’

All three of them instantly let out a sigh of relief. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
