Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: That’s Our Nine-tailed White Fox’s Bloodline

Seeing Shen Yue act so ruthlessly for the first time, Lan Cangyue couldn’t help the twitch in his eye.

’This little Female Master of his looks so small, yet she acts so decisively and ferociously?’

Huang Ziyue felt a sense of relief.

Heh.

’Of course. If he, Huang Ziyue, couldn’t have something, how could anyone else possibly get it so easily?’

’And to think that fox had solemnly sworn it was a contest of skill. Well, she certainly just showed them a display of *her* skills.’

’It seems this woman is indeed a bit of a handful.’

Ye Lüqi also breathed a sigh of relief, but a sense of unease crept into his heart. ’It looks like the wedding of the century I was planning will have to be postponed.’

Still, he first needed to send someone back with a message and find a way to reinstate the marriage arrangement with the Duke Mansion.

After disposing of the ”body,” Shen Yue swaggered back to the bamboo house.

As she closed the door, she shot a glance toward the empty air.

Then, she went off to get her beauty sleep.

Her glance made the men feel a pang of guilt, and they all instinctively looked away.

...

Shen Yue had a wonderful night’s sleep.

But Bai Chaosi awoke with a head full of bumps.

When he opened his eyes, his head was swimming. Two of his subordinates stood before him, their faces anxious and their eyes red-rimmed.

”Young Master, you’re awake!”

”Young Master, how do you feel? Does it hurt?”

A frown creased Bai Chaosi’s gentle face.

He reached up to touch his forehead, trying to clear his head.

The moment he touched it, a jolt of pain made him suck in a sharp breath.

”What happened to me?”

His two subordinates looked like they were about to cry.

”Young Master, maybe we should go back! This Miss Shen Yue is too savage!”

”Young Master, last night you were knocked unconscious by Miss Shen Yue. She dragged you out of the house and threw you down the mountain.”

Bai Chaosi was skeptical.

”Threw me down the mountain?”

His two subordinates nodded emphatically.

”Yes! We didn’t even have time to rescue you! We just watched as you rolled all the way to the foot of the mountain!”

”You were rolling so fast! You even hit a few trees on the way down. Young Master, when we found you, you were lying face down in a ditch at the bottom of the mountain. It was... it was too horrible to look at...”

The subordinate couldn’t bear to continue.

”Young Master, when have you ever been wronged like this? Please, let’s just go back!”

Bai Chaosi: ”...”

He only remembered that last night, he had passed out before he could even finish his sentence.

As for how the woman had knocked him out, he hadn’t felt a thing.

’I can’t believe she actually threw me down the mountain.’

’Does she hate me that much?’

He clenched his fists, unwilling to accept this. He glanced down at his filthy, disheveled clothes, an unreadable darkness clouding his cool eyes.

He stood up, and with an elegant wave of his hand, he snapped his fingers.

Instantly, his robes were pristine and white again, as clean as if they were new.

Then, he strode toward the bamboo house.

As for Shen Yue, after her wonderful sleep...

...the moment she opened the door...

...her jaw dropped at the sight of the courtyard, which was filled with fresh flowers.

Wild roses, wild lilies, wild peonies, and pink tea roses.

They filled her entire yard.

The sight was breathtaking.

The vibrant colors of the flowers instantly gave the small courtyard a much more elegant atmosphere, setting it apart from the surrounding mountainside.

Although Shen Yue was shocked and wondered where the flowers came from, she was still pleased.

Who wouldn’t love opening their door first thing in the morning to find their entire yard covered in fresh flowers?

She was a mortal woman, after all, and couldn’t help but appreciate such things.

Standing in the middle of the yard surrounded by flowers, she took a deep breath.

’It smells wonderful.’

’So fragrant.’

She casually plucked a pink tea rose and held it, unable to take her eyes off it. Against the backdrop of the pink blossom, a faint smile graced her beautiful, charming face.

That smile was dazzlingly beautiful in the morning light.

It was the most beautiful scene the morning had to offer.

The four men in the shadows watched, unwilling to even blink.

Mu Silin was secretly delighted. ’I didn’t think she’d actually like flowers.’

After observing her for some time, he had noticed that wherever she went, she would always pause to take a second look whenever she encountered vibrant flowers.

’Looks like I bet on the right horse this time.’

The subordinate next to him also said happily:

”General, Miss Shen Yue is smiling! She’s smiling! She’s so beautiful!”

”General, it’s just as we’d expect from you! You figured out that Miss Shen Yue likes flowers and spent all night gathering so many for her. Look how happy her smile is!”

Mu Silin also let out a gratified sigh of relief.

’As long as she likes it, that’s all that matters.’

Seeing her smile so beautifully and so happily, he couldn’t help but break into a wide grin himself.

Just as Bai Chaosi walked back up from the base of the mountain, he looked up and saw Shen Yue in the courtyard, smiling as she held a flower.

The sight dazzled him.

He knew from seeing her under the moonlight last night that her beauty was soul-stirring, but seeing her again now, she seemed even more beautiful, even more radiant.

Just then, the little cubs woke up and came running out on their short legs to find Shen Yue.

”Female mother!”

”Female mother, Er Bao is awake-awake!”

”Whoa! Such pretty flowers!”

”So fragrant! Smells so good!”

One by one, the little cubs ran out, all of them stunned by the flowers before them.

They chattered excitedly, their little mouths agape.

”So pretty-pretty. Female mother, where did these flowers come from?”

”Female mother, Qibao really likes these flowers!”

”Wubao likes them too! So pwetty!”

Bai Chaosi’s eyes landed on Liu Bao, who had just shot out of the house like a white furball, and the corners of his eyes softened.

That strange yet thrilling emotion surged through his heart, even more intensely than when he had seen him in the house last night.

’I really have a child.’

The offspring he had never dared to hope for was now right before his eyes, so full of life.

’I’m not dreaming.’

The two subordinates who had returned with him also stared wide-eyed, thinking they were seeing things.

They rubbed their eyes again and again.

”Young Master!! That’s the bloodline of our Nine-tailed White Fox!”

”Young Master, is that... your child!?”

How is this possible?

Miss Shen Yue actually bore a child for our Young Master.

Our Young Master has a child?

Heavens!

Does this mean the Young Master isn’t sick?

The Young Master can have children! There’s hope for the Nine-tailed White Foxes!

The two subordinates were ecstatic. Just moments ago, they were urging Bai Chaosi to return to the Fox Clan, but now they completely changed their tune.

”Young Master, Miss Shen Yue is incredible! She was able to continue the bloodline for our Fox Clan, and she even gave birth to seven different beast cubs in one litter! This is unbelievable!”

”Young Master, since Miss Shen Yue has even borne you a child, you must find a way to win the favor of such a precious female! You need to bring her and the Young Master back to the Fox Clan to get married as soon as possible!”

A faint smile touched Bai Chaosi’s gentle face.

He watched the woman in the courtyard holding the flower. Even though he had been mistreated by Shen Yue last night, he felt no resentment. On the contrary, seeing her smile now put his heart at ease.

He said softly:

”I have my own plans.”

Shen Yue liked the flowers, so she couldn’t be bothered to figure out who sent them. It had to be one of the men lurking in the shadows.

Happy to have them, she and the cubs rearranged the flowers around the courtyard.

After a bout of redecorating, the small courtyard looked incredibly beautiful, like a little mountain villa.

The air was fragrant, and the atmosphere was tranquil and pleasant.

Just as she was admiring the flowers while starting to cook...

...who would have thought...

...it started raining flower petals from the sky.

Shen Yue looked up just as a rose petal landed on her face.

After plucking it off, she saw the sky filled with fluttering petals...

”Whoa! It’s raining petals!”

”How can petals fall from the sky!”

”Wahahaha! So pretty!”

The little cubs clapped their hands excitedly.

Shen Yue was also surprised. She stood up, ready to properly enjoy the sight.

But then, the petals started falling thicker and faster.

It was as if someone was simply dumping them from above.

The next second.

Before she could even react...

...a huge bucketful of petals came crashing down on her.

”Ah! Female mother, be careful!”
