CHAPTER 82: CHAPTER 74: THE THREE CUTE TREASURES BECOME PLAYFUL GENIUSES_1

Si Yan elegantly and imperceptibly shifted her position. Jie Ling lunged at empty air, staring blankly at Si Yan, whose face was covered in soot but her eyes still clear and distinct. The youth’s eyes were bright, and his spirits were high.

Jie Ling’s heart fluttered slightly, and she stole another glance at Bai Feng. Up close, Bai Feng was indeed even more perfect.

The handsome eagle Beastman turned slowly and seated himself on a wooden square chair, leaning back slightly. When he looked at Jie Ling, his gentleness was gone, replaced by indifference and a hint of disdain. His prideful demeanor created an obvious sense of distance.

She intuitively felt that one couldn’t approach Bai Feng directly. Jie Ling had a strong sixth sense, and she quickly shifted her target. She excitedly said to Si Yan, "Brother Si Yan, you have no idea how long I’ve been looking for you. Lord Ming Yan is very worried about you. Will you come back with me now?"

"I am going back," Si Yan turned to Bai Feng. "I have to leave."

Bai Feng looked at Si Yan, his eyes warming. "Wait a moment, I’ll take you."

Si Yan glanced at Jie Ling and the eagle Beastman who brought her. She was certain she did not want to ride with the same Beastman as Jie Ling. She nodded at Bai Feng. "Alright."

The eagle Beastman who had brought Jie Ling watched Bai Feng with burning eyes. This was the High Priest Bai Feng, the messenger of the Beast God, the legendary eagle that he had hardly ever seen since he was born! His heart thumped excitedly.

He asked eagerly, "Lord Bai Feng, shall we fly together?"

Bai Feng was cool and proud. He looked at him and said coolly, "You take her and leave first."

The eagle Beastman was not disappointed. Hearing the High Priest’s command, he happily took Jie Ling away from Bai Feng’s nest.

...

In the territory of the eagle Beastmen, the three snake Beastman cubs were both nervous and anxious.

"Not a single good thing comes from those eagle Beastmen. Our mother was taken away by that long-haired white eagle, and there’s no telling how she’s doing now," Xi Qing said.

Bei Ji, looking worried, paced back and forth restlessly.

Dongchi, however, was as calm as an adult. He said seriously, "Perhaps we really should find a second dad."

Bei Ji agreed. "The Beast World is too dangerous. Without a second dad, there’s no one to protect Mother..."

"We wanted to monopolize the bad female... it seems unlikely now," Dongchi said.

The cubs nodded in unison.

Bei Ji commented, "We need to find a Beast Husband for Mother. I won’t agree to a weak one."

"He must be at least Purple Crystal level," Xi Qing said, somewhat dejected. "Since we must have a second dad, we have to be the ones to choose."

Dongchi asked, "What do you guys think of Ming Yan? He seems to have realized that the bad female is a female."

Bei Ji jumped up in opposition. "He can’t even beat that annoying big eagle! I’m not satisfied!"

Xi Qing noted, "But he’s young, and he’s a Purple Crystal Beastman."

Bei Ji argued, "So what if he’s a Purple Crystal Beastman! He can’t win against the eagle Beastman! If our real dad were here, I don’t believe he couldn’t beat that annoying eagle."

Dongchi questioned, "Are you saying you’d accept that eagle?"

Bei Ji shook his head. "No way! My mother is so gentle and beautiful. I won’t agree to that annoying eagle becoming our second dad."

None of the Beastmen of Black Tiger City could have imagined that their highly revered Lord of the Castle was being discussed and rejected by three four-year-old cubs.

"Quick, look, it’s that long-haired big eagle!" Bei Ji pointed to the sky.

Xi Qing and Dongchi looked up, and Dongchi immediately said, "The bad female is on his back! Let’s hurry home!"

The three cubs rushed home. No sooner had Si Yan arrived than the cubs caught up with her.

Just as Si Yan landed, Dongchi, Xi Qing, and Bei Ji quickly shielded her, confronting Bai Feng with hostility.

Bai Feng looked down at the three cubs. As an eagle, he naturally disliked these snake cubs as well.

Bei Ji stepped forward, protecting Si Yan. "You better stay away from our big brother!"

Bai Feng narrowed his eyes at the three cubs, then smiled as he turned to Si Yan. "They are your cubs."

Dongchi, Xi Qing, and Bei Ji were speechless.

Did Mother expose herself as a female again? they wondered. Sure enough, although the silent grass was useful, it couldn’t fool formidable Beastmen.

Xi Qing’s eyes chilled. "We don’t like you. You better give up the idea of being our second dad, and fast."

Bei Ji declared, "Yes, we don’t like you."

Dongchi added coldly, "Not a single eagle Beastman is good."

Si Yan suddenly felt extremely awkward. They couldn’t just shout about things that hadn’t even happened!

"Dongchi, Xi Qing, Bei Ji..."

Bai Feng held his head high with cold pride, his tone flat, yet what he said took Si Yan by surprise. "I don’t like you either."

Si Yan was speechless.

Looking at the hostility between Bai Feng and the three cubs, she felt a headache coming on.

"Stop, stop, stop arguing! What’s all this about giving up or not giving up? I only bought some grain from him," Si Yan said.

Dongchi stared intently at Si Yan’s face, which was covered in soot and different from before. He almost immediately exploded with rage, his scales bristling. "He saw your face! Damn it!"

Si Yan was speechless again.

Xi Qing shouted, "I’m going to kill him!"

Immediately, the three fierce yet adorable cubs—Dongchi, Xi Qing, and Bei Ji—charged at Bai Feng together.

Bai Feng not only neutralized their attack in one move but also sent each of the cubs flying.

Si Yan rushed forward, catching the falling cubs, and set them aside.

Seeing the three cubs injured, Si Yan also became angry in an instant. "What do you think you’re doing?!"

"You’re an adult! Why are you taking it out on children?!" Si Yan said, displeased.

The temperature in Bai Feng’s eyes cooled slightly as he looked at Si Yan, a hint of grievance hidden in their depths.

"Indeed, they are children, but they started it," Bai Feng said.

Si Yan protected the three cubs behind her. "It’s true they started it. I can understand defending yourself or counterattacking, but why did you hit them so hard?!"

Dongchi, Xi Qing, and Bei Ji, with perfect coordination, immediately feigned extreme pain, as if they were about to die.

Bai Feng fell silent for a moment, looking at the three little drama kings and then at Si Yan.

"I’m sorry. I’ll control myself next time."

Bai Feng’s sudden apology made Si Yan feel somewhat unaccustomed.

But before Si Yan could say anything, Bai Feng flapped his wings and flew away.

Bai Feng’s apology and immediate departure left Si Yan bewildered. Had she done something wrong?

However, the three cubs quickly shifted her attention.

"Mother, it hurts so much..." Bei Ji whimpered, touching a scrape from his tumble, his eyes welling with tears as he looked at her pitifully.

Xi Qing sidled up too. "Mother, Xi Qing is hurt too."

Dongchi gritted his teeth and also stepped forward. "I’m hurt too, look."

Si Yan, who knew some medicine, could easily tell the cubs were merely seeking attention.

She felt helpless but couldn’t resist their pleas.

"Alright, alright, line up and come one by one. Mother will treat your wounds."

Hearing this, the three cubs exchanged triumphant smiles.

They were still better at winning Mother’s affection than those flashy males outside.

With this thought, the three cubs pulled Si Yan into their den, clinging to her and preventing any contact with the eagle Beastman outside.

Si Yan carefully tended to their wounds, unable to leave their side for even a moment.
