“Uncle Cheng, is this the place where I’ll be living from now on?”
Cheng Fifteen smiled as he led the little cub into the courtyard.
The space was not very big, but it was clean and tidy. Lin Suisui looked around curiously.
There was also a small patch of vegetable land in the yard. In the future, could she grow vegetables here?
Stones surrounded the courtyard, perfectly blocking the wind and sand from the slums while still allowing sunlight to pass through.
The little cub looked extremely happy, but Cheng Fifteen was a little disappointed.
This is it? The place the boss secretly kept? It doesn’t look like much.
“Can I go inside and take a look?”
“Of course,” Cheng Fifteen replied.
Lin Suisui pushed the door with all her strength.
However, the door did not move at all.
Huh? Did she not use enough strength?
Lin Suisui blinked.
Although she was only a cub now, she shouldn’t be so weak that she couldn’t even open a door, right?
Lin Suisui gathered all her strength and tried again.
“Hoo…”
She took a deep breath.
Finally, the door opened.
Lin Suisui revealed a satisfied smile.
She knew it! Her strength used to be great. She could even pull a small cart weighing thirty kilograms.
In a place Lin Suisui could not see, Cheng Fifteen revealed a loving smile.
Even a hardworking little cub is so adorable.
The vines that had secretly helped a little quietly retreated.
The door was completely opened, and everything inside the room was suddenly revealed.
Cheng Fifteen’s smile froze on his face.
Before Lin Suisui could see clearly, someone covered her eyes.
“Hm? Uncle Cheng, what’s wrong?”
Cheng Fifteen’s voice became stiff.
“S-Suisui, this room is still a little messy. Uncle will take you somewhere else to look first.”
Cheng Fifteen’s face turned dark as he stared at the room.
This is the place Yisang said was suitable for a cub to live in?!
The entire room was filled with the bones of alien beasts.
There were poisonous scorpion tails, and some of them still had traces of blood on them.
A dead alien beast’s head, with its eyes still wide open as if it had died unwillingly, was hanging from the ceiling beam.
The more Cheng Fifteen looked, the worse his expression became.
For a moment, he even wanted to commit the crime of disrespecting his superior and hit Yisang on the head with a vine to wake him up.
Meanwhile, Yisang suddenly felt uneasy.
He suddenly remembered something.
Oh no! I forgot to clean up my “treasures”!
A faint smell of blood drifted through the air.
Lin Suisui calmly held Cheng Fifteen’s hand.
Remembering the glimpse she had caught earlier, Lin Suisui said:
“Then, Uncle, can you take me to see the streets? I haven’t been to the streets here before.”
“Of course.”
Cheng Fifteen wished he could immediately take the little cub away and not let the air here contaminate her even a little.
When Lin Suisui spoke, he eagerly picked her up.
Lin Suisui naturally wrapped her arms around his neck, and her small head rested on Cheng Fifteen’s shoulder.
“Let’s go!”
Cheng Fifteen’s body stiffened.
A feeling he had never experienced before came from his shoulder.
Soft, warm, carrying the unique milky scent of a little cub.
She’s really so soft.
The moment he held her, Cheng Fifteen suddenly understood why cubs within fifteen days of birth were called angels.
“Uncle, what is this thing you’re wearing around your neck? It’s glowing with a blue light.”
She noticed that every uncle had one around their neck.
Cheng Fifteen’s face turned red.
He actually received a warning because his heartbeat accelerated from holding a cub.
That was too embarrassing.
Cheng Fifteen touched the collar around his neck.
“This? This is a symbol of Uncle’s identity.”
A symbol of identity…
That should be something like an ID card.
But wearing it around the neck… wouldn’t it be uncomfortable?
Lin Suisui asked:
“Then will Suisui have to wear one in the future too?”
“No.”
Cheng Fifteen looked at the little cub gently but firmly.
“Uncle won’t let you wear one.”
She didn’t have to?
Lin Suisui secretly relaxed.
“Actually, wearing it is okay too. It’s just that having something around my neck feels a little uncomfortable. It would be better if it could be worn somewhere else.”
Somewhere else?
Cheng Fifteen lowered his head.
His long wings covered his eyes.
There won’t be another place.
“Uncle, if you’re tired, you can put Suisui down. Suisui can walk by herself too.”
Lin Suisui said this because although she was small, carrying her for a long time would definitely make him tired.
Cheng Fifteen let out a soft laugh.
“Not tired. Uncle isn’t tired at all. Suisui is very light.”
The one and only treasure in the world was finally in his arms.
How could he possibly want to put her down?
What should he do?
He seemed to be a little jealous of that kid Heiyun too.
…
Recently, the slums had two explosive pieces of news.
The first was that an extremely obedient and adorable little cub had actually appeared here.
The second was that the group of people from the east side—those muscle-brained fools who only knew how to fight—had recently become even stranger. Each one of them seemed like they had lost a screw and gone crazy.
Not only did they stop fighting, but they also grabbed people and asked:
“Do I look good when I smile?”
The people they caught were immediately frightened unconscious by their fierce and terrifying expressions.
At that time, the expressions of those people made everyone’s hearts race.
They were afraid that if they became unhappy, they would kill someone.
These past few days, they stopped asking whether their smiles looked good.
After catching people, they started asking:
“Is my strength great?”
The person being grabbed had their wrist almost crushed and tears in their eyes.
“It doesn’t hurt… n-not at all.”
The other person:
“Don’t lie. Your hand is already broken.”
That person:
“……”
Damn, so you knew?
Xiong Li walked away dejectedly.
Today, he still couldn’t hug the little cub.
Damn it! Why is that old schemer Cheng Fifteen the only one with plant abilities? He can stick close to the cub whenever he wants.
I also want to see the little cub.
Beastmen were naturally incredibly strong.
The fiercer the animal their original form was, the more terrifying their strength became.
By this point, even a rabbit beastman could easily crush a stone with their hands.
Depressed, he punched the wall beside him.
The four-meter-tall wall collapsed with a loud crash.
“My strength is still too strong…”
The person standing beside him rolled his eyes and completely fainted.
