Chapter 55: Three Males and One Female

Yun Li knew that Leng Xiao had cried and fainted after she gave birth, and she also wanted to hit someone.

They had just arrived at the Silver Eagle Tribe, and the only thing she, a fragile female who had just given birth, and her offspring could rely on was him.

He cried and fainted, how could he still make her faint from crying?

If there were any beast people with ulterior motives in the Silver Eagle Tribe, was he planning to drag the whole family down with him?

"A Li, look at our offspring—three of them are as beautiful as your beast form."

One of them is a black wolf; at a glance you can tell it's his older brother's offspring, and among the four wolf cubs, this one is actually the only female.

Leng Xiao felt sour inside, thinking his older brother was lucky— the sole female cub was clearly his own flesh and blood.

Yun Li looked at the few offspring, silently telling herself she had just given birth, don't get angry, don't get angry.

Once her body recovered, she would settle this score with him properly.

"Let me see."

Yun Li brought over the wooden basin holding the offspring, lightly stroked their heads with her fingers, and casually asked, "I haven't woken up since yesterday—how did you feed them milk?"

Hearing that, Leng Xiao's face showed a hint of embarrassment; he lightly coughed and said, "It was a female beast person who took me to someone else's home to find a lactating female to feed them."

Yun Li glanced at him, "Then what, why is your face red?"

At once, a certain female's words about where the offspring's milk came from flashed in Leng Xiao's ear; his gaze unconsciously swept toward Yun Li's chest, and his throat involuntarily twitched.

So that's where the offspring's milk comes from.

Yun Li saw his gaze, her hand itched, she reached out and pulled his ear, "What are you looking at? I just gave birth, and your mind is already wandering into dirty thoughts."

Leng Xiao felt wronged; he was simply surprised that touching the spot that made A Li comfortable during their intimacy could actually produce milk for the offspring.

He truly hadn't harbored any lewd thoughts— his female had just suffered a great misfortune, how could he have any other ideas?

Then what kind of male is he?

"A Li, ow ow ow! I just feel sorry for you having to nurse the offspring later—I was thinking about catching a fierce beast to replace you in feeding them."

Yun Li heard Leng Xiao say that, and her hand instantly loosened; "So, have you thought of something?"

Nursing isn't an easy task; if it were just a simple three‑times‑a‑day schedule, Yun Li could accept it.

But it's clearly not like that— they need feeding every so often, not to mention having to get up in the middle of the night to feed them even after falling asleep.

Yun Li's body can handle it, but her mind cannot.

Leng Xiao had only said that offhand, but seeing Yun Li truly meant it, he immediately began frantically thinking.

"I've thought of it, I've thought of it—A Li, don't worry, if you don't want to nurse, I'll go out for a couple days and bring back a moo cow or a giant‑antlered deer."

Yun Li loosened her grip and asked, "Aren't you going to ask why I don't want to nurse the offspring? Other females nurse theirs; I'm just lazy."

Leng Xiao frowned and said, "How is it just that you're lazy? You risked your life to give birth to them. It's not like you're not giving them milk, so whether you nurse or not doesn't matter."

Yun Li heard this, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up; she directly told him her plan.

"I'm not refusing to nurse either—I heard that offspring who drink mother's milk are a bit healthier, so I'm thinking I can nurse them during the day.

but I need to rest at night; if they get hungry in the middle of the night, you'll have to hold them and go nurse them."

Leng Xiao rubbed her head, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Yun Li smiled at him, "So you're going to look for it these two days? Or should we wait until Leng Xiu and the others arrive and go together?"

Although she said that, she felt deep down that Leng Xiu and Mu Qing and the others couldn't possibly arrive that quickly.

Although she had Leng Xiao carve an eagle into the stone bed, whether they could understand it was another matter.

"No need, who knows when they'll show up."

Hearing Yun Li mention his older brother and Mu Qing, Leng Xiao's expression instantly turned cold.

"When A Li was in such danger giving birth, they didn't even rush over—what use would it be if they came now?"

"If Leng Xiu weren't his brother, he'd want Yun Li to kick him out of the house, abandoning his pregnant companion in the cave for so long without returning—does he even remember his mate and the offspring about to be born?"

Thinking of the perilous situation when A Li gave birth, Leng Xiao's heart filled with resentment.

"If Mu Qing were still alive, it'd be better to give him a decent excuse; otherwise he'd rather drag in that powerful eagle beast person from outside to become the first beast husband, rather than acknowledge Mu Qing as that first beast husband."

Yun Li didn't know Leng Xiao was thinking of recruiting another male to come home and play father; seeing that Leng Xiao seemed to have made up his mind, she couldn't help but ask:

"Can you go and come back the same day, quickly?"

As a beast person with four offspring in an unfamiliar tribe, she really couldn't put her mind at ease.

Seeing her lack of security, Leng Xiao quickly sat closer and embraced her, saying, "Don't worry, I'll definitely go and return quickly. I certainly won't be like my brother, making you so anxious."

Moreover, I'll let Gong Mei and the Young Master know—I'll ask them to look after you a bit more while I'm away."

As for that female who's trying to cozy up to the male who wants to become his mate, Leng Xiao only finds it troublesome.

He certainly doesn't want his own female to misunderstand him as betraying her.

Leng Xiao still wants to spend a lifetime with Yun Li.

Now that they have offspring, even if Yun Li takes other beast husbands in the future, she won't discard him—he's full of confidence.

"Young Master?"

Yun Li's face showed doubt; Gong Mei she knew, but who is the Young Master?

Leng Xiao explained to her, "He's the Young Master of the Silver Eagle Tribe, his name is Ji Xuan, and I just call him Young Master."

"The first time he came over, he saw our offspring, perhaps thinking ours were too beautiful, so he came again today to have a look."

Ji Xuan clearly had never heard before of a male crying and fainting after a female gave birth; he thought that male was unreliable, so he came over to see whether any other arrangements were needed for that female who had just given birth.

"So that's how it is."

Yun Li felt half‑believing, half‑doubting, and she glanced at her own four offspring.

In her eyes, they were indeed all good‑looking, especially the three that took after her beast form's beautiful fur— although the black fur on their backs that should have been dark looked a bit light, their looks were still on point.

As for the little black wolf cub, its fur isn't pure black, but after it grows longer it should become as imposing as her father.

The only thing that quickly left Yun Li stunned was, "What did you just say? The third one is a female offspring?"

Old Three is that black-haired cub.

She picked up each cub one by one to examine them, and found that it was indeed the case.

Yun Li's face showed an indescribable expression.
