âYour servant at your command.â Cole bowed, then took his leave, walking towards the direction that the males had set off for the hunt.
The tribe elders were all panicking and asked Lea, âNinth Highness... this...?â
Lea swayed his tail and said, âSince the Mighty Fox King is here, how could I, a lowly Ninth Highness, call the shots about the tribe matters? All of you can just follow the Fox Kingâs orders.â
âEh...!â All the tribe elders shuffled on the shot, and eventually after a discussion, they all followed Coleâs footsteps in the direction of the hunt.
Gu Mengmeng yawned and said, âThere would not be any outcome from the hunt until nighttime. All females can return home first and during the night campfire party, there would naturally be an outcome ready.â
âYes.â All the females did not dare to act rashly in front of Gu Mengmeng and naturally just followed what she said.
Lea carried Gu Mengmeng back to the stone castle. The three little ones exchanged glances, then followed them back in a well-behaved manner.
Upon entering, Gu Mengmeng immediately turned around with her arms akimbo, with her âface your mother after obtaining unsatisfactory resultsâ mode on.
At this sight, Jialue nudged Kanwu. Kanwu immediately kneeled down without other words and held onto both his ears, saying, âMother, we already know our mistake.â
Gu Mengmeng did not even confront them yet and her anger had reduced due to Kanwuâs kneel. Gu Mengmeng poked his head and said, âA manâs knees are precious, who asked you to kneel?! Quickly get up!â
Kanwu looked up and said innocently, âPreviously, I saw Bode teaching beast Father this. He said that if the female is angry, he should just kneel down and admit his mistake, then the female will no longer be angry.â
Gu Mengmeng held her head. This was the useless trick that Bode had taught Elvis when she was bothered about Leaâs matter and chased Lea and Elvis out of the cave.
At that time, the four little ones were presen,t but it had been two years or more... At that time, the four little ones were still children. They were not remembering the right things, yet why were they remembering these useless things?
âMother, itâs like this. This matterâs mastermind is Chixuan, I am the accomplice. Kanwu did not know most details and only followed us because he was unwilling for Chixuan and I to risk ourselves. He should have the least to be punished for, so we decided to let him shoulder the responsibility. Mother, you should just hit him as you deem fit. After you are not angry, Chixuan and I will explain to you. Come, you can hit him now.â
Gu Mengmeng looked at Jialue and was almost laughing because of him. âKanwu made the least grave mistake, yet why is he the one to be hit?â
âBecause I am immune to punches.â Kanwu explained himself and his face seemed to have a strange prideful look.
Jialue laughed, then wrapped his arms around Gu Mengmengâs elbows, and said coquettishly, âBecause he has made the least grave mistake, Mother will not hit him too hard... Moreover, Chixuan and I are scared of pain.â
âThen Kanwu is not scared of pain?â Actually, so long as the three of them were safe, Gu Mengmengâs anger had already reduced by almost half. She completely had not intended on hitting her children. Moreover, the three of them were old enough to take their own responsibility. The children from other families most likely had already left their parents at this age and started to explore the world. They could do anything they like and their parents could no longer control them anymore.
Their children had risked their lives outside and had to return to comfort her â this was already considered very sensible.
Moreover, if they were hit at home today, how could they earn the respects of others outside in the future?
