For some reason, there were many snakes today. They kept darting into the cave one after another.

They were probably trying to take shelter from the rain as well. This was what Arthur thought.

Hungry, Arthur didn’t hunt because he didn’t dare to stay too far away from Right. Now that there was ready prey, he naturally welcomed it. He killed all of them and ate them up.

After filling his stomach, he started to find them to be an annoyance. He found things to block up the entrance before going to sleep.

...

When Bai Qingqing got up the next day, she went to Curtis and asked, “Are there any news of Right?”

Curtis’s snake tail wrapped around her waist out of habit as he said, “There’s no news yet.”

Bai Qingqing’s brows fell. She got up from Curtis’s embrace and walked out.

She stood in front of the door, looking at the drizzle outside. With each second, she hoped that she’d be able to see Right coming back by himself at the next moment.

“Snow...”

Curtis stood behind her and gently wrapped his arms around her waist.

Bai Qingqing held his hands placed on her stomach, letting out a soft sigh.

She wondered what Right was doing and how he was. Was he injured? Did he miss home? Was he scared outside?

Left was new to this place and found the new “nest” extremely refreshing. He looked around as he followed his mommy out.

The leopard cubs were now staying upstairs. When they saw smoke coming from the kitchen via the windows, they came running down. When they saw the eagle in the main hall, they were stunned for a moment.

Howl?

This was their home, and this eagle was too young, so the cubs weren’t scared of him. They took relaxed strides toward the little eagle.

Left stared at them warily, then moved horizontally toward his mommy.

“Screech! Screech screech!” Left stretched out his wings to wrap around his mommy’s leg, his head still facing the cubs.

The leopard cubs were instantly stunned, looking up at their mom. When they saw that she didn’t kick him away, their beautiful eyes revealed a gaze of disbelief.

“Howl howl!” [That’s our mommy!]

The three cubs came charging over toward their common enemy.

“Screech!” Left’s feathers erupted, and his pair of sharp claws stepped on Bai Qingqing’s foot, his fat body hiding behind her slender and fair legs. He looked a little funny.

Bai Qingqing was hurt from being stepped on and lowered her head to look at the children.

“Knock it off. Children, come over.” Bai Qingqing squatted down to pick up Left, patting and consoling him. She then spoke to the leopard cubs.

The leopard cubs walked over, feeling anxious and doubtful. Only then did they sniff the young eagle’s scent—the scent of their mommy—and realized that it was that egg.

Hmm? Where was the other one?

The leopard cubs looked around, making inquiring sounds.

Left heaved a sigh of relief but was still unable to let down his guard. He grabbed onto his mommy’s leg tightly, unwilling to let go. Bai Qingqing had no choice but to carry Left, who wasn’t light, in her arms.

Bai Qingqing understood the cubs’ puzzlement and felt even sadder. She didn’t want to say much and thus got up to head to the kitchen.

Muir and Parker were cooking. Bai Qingqing placed Left on the dining table, washed up, then asked, “Where’s Winston? It’s raining today, so why did he go out?”

“I don’t know.” Parker walked over with a bowl of hot soup. When Left saw him, he immediately ran over to his mommy. The way he ran on the dining table made him look like merchandise that was sold for the Chinese New Year celebrations and was waiting to be butchered.

As if smelling the fragrance, Left turned his head to take a look curiously after darting into his mommy’s embrace.

Muir’s brows furrowed, and he took Left away from her arms. He recalled that Bai Qingqing didn’t like the leopard cubs walking on the dining table.

“It’s fine,” Bai Qingqing said softly. She didn’t even have any appetite to eat, so why would she care if the food was dirtied?
