Chapter 177 - 173: We Are All Mother’s Cubs

Beast World.

The males slowly came back to their senses.

The female master was gone.

’The cubs seem to have gone with her too?’

’What’s going on?’

Just then, Hu Bai found a line of crooked characters left behind by Fox Qi.

"Everyone, come look at this!"

The six males gathered around to look at the words the cubs had left.

"To our dear daddies,

By the time you read these words, we cubs will have already gone with Mommy to see Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle!

Don’t worry, Daddies. The cubs will protect Mommy. We’ll bring Mommy back safely."

Below the text were little drawings of a small red eagle, a small deer, a little fox, two wolves, a little mermaid, and Little Snake Yang, which served as their signatures.

The six males: "..."

Xuan Jin said thoughtfully, "So she can bring people with her?"

She said she couldn’t bring anyone before. But the cubs went with her.

’Does that mean she can bring cubs but not adults?’

’Why? Is it because our power is too strong, so she can’t take us?’

The other males: "..."

Chi Xiao was a little melancholic. "What do we do? The Little Female Master is gone, and all the cubs are gone too."

Wolf Day said, "They’re with the female master. There’s no need to worry."

Wolf Ye said, "But the female master has to take care of seven cubs by herself. She might get tired..."

The males: "..."

Hu Bai: "Don’t overthink it. It’s only for three days. The female master and the cubs will be back in three days."

Xuan Jin: "What if the cubs decide they like it at their grandparents’ place and don’t come back? And then take their little female and stay? What if the cubs and the female master abandon us?"

Chi Xiao: "Don’t be such a doomsayer. My Junjun would never abandon me!"

...

Huo Jun: "Mommy, this place is so much fun! I don’t even want to go back to the Beast World!"

Inside the car, the cubs didn’t have to disguise themselves too much. Huo Jun’s wings were already spread, flapping about.

"Are there any Bird Beastmen here?"

Nan Zishi smiled. "Nope. There are no Beastmen here, only humans."

Fox Qi: "All humans, just like Mommy?"

Nan Zishi: "That’s right."

The cubs’ eyes lit up as they looked out the car window.

Nan Zishi drove the car into a residential complex. She led the cubs out of the car one by one.

Nan Zishi: "We’re home."

The seven adorable cubs looked up together at the building that was taller than a mountain, exclaiming in unison:

"Whoa, Mommy’s house is huge!"

Nan Zishi gave an awkward laugh. She led the cubs into the elevator and pressed the button for her floor. The cubs were bewildered.

"This thing is moving, Mommy!"

"Mhm, this is an elevator. Hold hands, cubs. Remember to keep your ears and tails hidden so you don’t scare Grandpa and Grandma."

"Okay!"

Despite saying that, Nan Zishi’s heart was pounding with anxiety.

She was an unmarried young woman, suddenly bringing seven cubs home and telling her parents that they were all her children.

’So scary...’

When they reached her floor, Nan Zishi stood in front of her apartment door, feeling a little dazed as she was about to knock.

"Mommy? What’s wrong?" Huo Jun asked.

Nan Zishi shook her head. "Never mind. I’ll just use my key to open the door."

Just as she took out her key, a gentle female voice came from behind her. "Sui Sui, why are you home at this hour? And what are you wearing?"

"Sis, is that the new popular fur you’re wearing?"

The young woman turned her head and suddenly saw the mother and father she had been missing for so, so long, as well as her younger brother who was still in college.

She couldn’t hold back her emotions any longer and threw herself at her mother.

"Mom, I missed you so much. So, so much!"

"What’s all this? Why are you suddenly so clingy?"

...

Nan Zishi’s parents’ home was a 120-square-meter single-story apartment with three bedrooms.

The south-facing master bedroom belonged to her parents, the south-facing secondary bedroom was Nan Zishi’s, and the north-facing secondary bedroom was her brother Nan Zhinian’s.

In the living room, the two seniors stared blankly at the seven unbelievably cute cubs before them.

The seven cubs were very reserved. They clenched their bottoms to hide their tails and flattened their ears to keep them hidden. Fufu, who couldn’t transform her legs, remained in Nan Zishi’s arms.

They were afraid the elderly couple wouldn’t like them.

"Sui Sui, they are..." her mother asked.

Huo Jun: "Brothers and sisters, all together!"

The seven cute treasures: "Hello Grandpa, hello Grandma, hello Uncle!"

"My name is Huo Jun!"

"Lu Ming!"

"My name is Fox Qi."

"Fufu~"

"Hello Grandpa and Grandma, my name is Lang Xian."

"I’m Little Wolf Mu."

"My name is Yang’er."

Seven voices in unison, "We’re all Mommy’s cubs!"

Mr. Nan, Nan’s mother, and Nan Zhinian were completely stunned.

Mr. Nan and Nan’s mother looked at Nan Zishi, who gave her parents a sharp, clean nod.

She had come back this time precisely to tell them about her situation.

’So... I’ll just have to face the coming storm head-on.’

Nan Zhinian let out a sound of realization. "Oh, I get it, sis. These are babies you’ve adopted, right?

You’ve rescued so many small animals, when did you start rescuing babies?

But these babies are so cute. What kind of parents would abandon such cute babies?"

Nan Zishi: "...Don’t read too much into it!"

Huo Jun said, "Uncle, we’re Mommy’s biological cubs!"

"Hahaha, how is that possible!" Nan Zhinian said. "My sister and I see each other every so often. If she got pregnant and had cubs, how could I not know?"

But Mr. Nan spoke up, "But, look, this baby’s eyes are like Sui Sui’s, this baby’s nose is like Sui Sui’s, this baby’s face shape is like Sui Sui’s, and this baby’s mouth is like mine!"

Nan Zhinian narrowed his eyes. Nan’s mother continued, "And look, the little girl in Sui Sui’s arms is a carbon copy of her when she was a child!"

Nan’s mother bustled off to find Nan Zishi’s childhood photo album. "Honey, look."

The seven cute treasures also ran over. "Wow, Mommy looked like this as a child! She really looks like Fufu!"

"I look like her too, I look like her too! My eyes are the same!"

Mr. Nan: "This isn’t right. What’s going on here?"

Little Wolf Mu was very excited looking at the photos of his mommy as a child. Before long, his tail popped out uncontrollably and started wagging back and forth.

Nan Zhinian, very curious, grabbed his tail. "Sui Sui, where did you get these fake tails for them? They’re so realistic!"

Nan Zishi: "..."

Wolf Mu pulled his wagging tail out of Nan Zhinian’s hand. He looked up at Nan Zhinian and belatedly realized he had caused trouble.

He looked at Nan Zishi with a wronged expression. "Mommy..."

Nan Zishi covered her forehead. "It’s okay. We have to face what we have to face. Cubs, you can show your ears and tails now."

WHOOSH.

Two small wings sprouted from Huo Jun’s back, a pair of tiny deer antlers grew on Lu Ming’s head, and Fox Qi, Lang Xian, and Wolf Mu all grew ears and tails. She Yang’er still tried not to change into her snake tail, to avoid scaring everyone.

Nan Zishi ignored her three stunned family members. She went to the bathroom and started filling the bathtub with water. "Fufu, there’s no seawater here for now, so you’ll have to use fresh water."

"Mhm, mhm." Fufu nodded at Nan Zishi. "Fufu is okay with anything!"

Nan Zishi unwrapped the Beast Skin and placed Fufu, who had a mermaid’s tail, into the bathtub.

Mr. Nan and Nan’s mother were stunned.

"Am I still dreaming, dear?"

"No, no, I pinched myself. It’s not a dream..."

Nan Zhinian covered his mouth. "Sis, did the animals you adopted all turn into people?"

Nan Zishi simply punched him!
