Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 12: Chapter 12: I Am a Single Male, I Don’t Have a Female Master.

A few days ago, he had escaped after countless hardships and made his way to the barbaric land of the K Empire. He had originally planned to live out the rest of his life here in obscurity. As a cripple, he had long been abandoned by his family and the Royal City.

But then he met A Yue.

It was A Yue who gave him a chance to truly live again, a chance he hadn’t dared to dream of for the past ten years.

She was the one who helped him rediscover his lost power and confidence.

Feeling the power that was continuously gathering in his body and his recovering spiritual power, he was as happy as a child.

But then he remembered he had left without even saying a word of thanks to A Yue, so he had rushed back.

As a result, he found no sign of A Yue or the cubs in the cave, only a line of words she had left on the ground.

That was why he had hurried over to find her, only to witness the heart-stopping scene from moments before.

Thankfully, he had returned in time. Otherwise, if anything had happened to her and the cubs, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.

His thoughts shifted, and he looked at her, secretly vowing to himself, ’From now on, I will be the one to protect A Yue and the cubs.’

’I will never let these seven little cubs grow up without a biological father, nor will I let anyone call her and the children bastards ever again.’

...

Shen Yue followed Si Muye back to his cave.

For two straight days, Dabao did not wake up.

While worrying about Dabao, Shen Yue worked with Si Muye to rearrange the cave.

Si Muye also wove several soft grass mats so the other cubs would have a place to sleep after they hatched.

He also gathered some stones from outside that resembled stone griddles, making it easier for Shen Yue to cook.

But these could only be used for things like roasting meat; they couldn’t be used to make soup.

Shen Yue thought for a moment. ’Xiong Jiaojiao stole so many of this body’s original owner’s tools before. I wonder if I can get them back. I seem to recall there was a stone pot that can be used for making soup.’

’If I had those things, Dabao could drink the nourishing soup I make for him when he wakes up, and he’d recover faster.’

”We need to make a trip to the Grizzly Bear Tribe.”

Si Muye was weaving dry grass in his hands. Hearing Shen Yue say this, he put down his work.

”Okay.”

As for Si Muye’s sudden change in attitude toward her—how he granted her every request, was so obedient, and worked hard without complaint—Shen Yue chalked it up to him being grateful that she had healed his leg.

’As for anything else, I really don’t dare to think too much about it. After all, I’m ugly as sin right now.’

’If I weren’t so ugly, I might suspect this giant bear wanted to start something with me.’

’If this man really did have some feelings for me, I wouldn’t mind him becoming my children’s stepfather. After all, in the Beast World, one more man is one more laborer. I’m not stupid enough to let free labor go to waste and make my own life harder.’

’Men are meant to be put to work, not to be loved.’

When they arrived at the Grizzly Bear Tribe, Shen Yue was surprised to see that in just two short days, Xiong Jiaojiao had already gotten her comeuppance.

A male black bear in heat had broken into her cave and was forcing himself on the now-blind Xiong Jiaojiao.

Meanwhile, her Beast Husbands had all taken their cubs and fled.

Only the dead Xiong Da was lying at the cave entrance, looking like he had been dead for about two days.

Si Muye was stunned. ”How did he die?”

Although he had twisted the male’s arm that day, with the robust physique of a Bear Clan Beastman, such an injury should have only been disabling, not fatal.

Shen Yue raised an eyebrow.

”He deserved to die.”

’That day, I stabbed him in a vital pressure point. Even though his strong constitution prevented him from dying immediately, his spleen was ruptured. The moment he dared to drink water, he would start vomiting blood and die.’

’When those Beast Husbands were dragging Xiong Jiaojiao and Xiong Da away, I saw a trickle of blood leaking from the corner of Xiong Da’s mouth. Only then did I let them leave without worry.’

’Otherwise, how could I have let the one who hurt Dabao off so easily?’

Hearing her tone, Si Muye glanced involuntarily at the very dead Xiong Da on the ground. ’He really did deserve it.’

’Dabao still hasn’t woken up!!’

’I just wonder how he actually died. Could he have run into some other trouble afterward?’

Just then, Xiong Jiaojiao’s screams echoed from the cave.

It made Si Muye’s face and ears burn red.

There were even some suggestive sounds mixed in.

This was more than Si Muye could handle. With the tips of his ears burning, he tried his best not to listen.

But to his surprise, Xiong Jiaojiao and the male black bear rolled right to the mouth of the cave.

The intense scene made Si Muye’s scalp tingle!!

Unable to watch, he quickly averted his gaze, only to see Shen Yue beside him, stroking her chin and watching with great interest.

His face grew even redder.

’How can this young female watch a scene like this without so much as a blush?’

’Isn’t she embarrassed at all?’

He couldn’t help but let out a cough and urged her:

”Um, didn’t we come here to find something? Let’s hurry up, grab it, and go!”

Hearing this, Shen Yue looked at him. She saw his embarrassed expression and how he didn’t know where to look.

She asked slyly:

”You haven’t... you know, ’done it’ before, have you?”

Si Muye: ”Done what?”

”You know, ’that’!”

Shen Yue made a circle with the fingers of one hand and poked her other index finger through it a couple of times.

BOOM!!

Si Muye instantly understood the graphic gesture.

His face turned so red it looked like it might bleed, and steam seemed to rise from his round beast ears.

”I... I’m a single male! I don’t have a Female Master!”

’That’s something you only do with a Female Master. Since I don’t have one, how could I possibly have done it?’

Hearing his explanation, Shen Yue’s interest was piqued. ’I can’t believe this big bear is still a virgin!’

Heh!!

’The way he was blushing and picking at his fingers... It formed such a stark contrast to his tall, imposing figure.’

Just then, Xiong Jiaojiao’s shouts came from the cave entrance:

”Let go of me!”

”Ahh!! I’m begging you, no more!”

But the male black bear had clearly gone berserk. Having lost all reason, he didn’t seem to feel fatigue at all.

Shen Yue watched for a moment, then said to Si Muye out of the blue:

”Since you’re a single male, you should take advantage of this free tutorial. Watch more, learn more, and master the key techniques. You don’t want to get the position wrong or be unable to find the entrance when it’s your turn for the real thing!”

At first, Si Muye didn’t understand, but then he heard that last part...

WHOOSH. His whole scalp felt like it was on fire.

’How can this woman say such things with a straight face?’

’Don’t tell me... she thinks I don’t know how? That I’m no good?’

While he was inwardly grappling with these guesses, Shen Yue had already found the stone pot, which was hidden under a tree to collect water.

’Thank goodness. The Grizzly Bear Tribe members may not know how to use this pot, but at least they only used it to hold water. I was terrified Xiong Jiaojiao had used it as a chamber pot. That would have been disastrous!’

Si Muye walked over and saw her pouring out the water.

”You want this?”

’This stone basin looks a lot like a water container. It also resembles the cookware used by an Advanced Chef, but on closer inspection, it doesn’t quite fit. It’s too deep.’

Shen Yue said, ”This was originally mine.”

’It’s just that after the original owner bought it in the Barbaric City and brought it back, she didn’t know how to use it and almost used it as a chamber pot herself.’

’Then Xiong Jiaojiao happened to see it, snatched it away, and took some of her other things while she was at it.’

Hearing this, Si Muye reached out and lifted the stone pot with one hand.
