Chapter 25 — Obediently Softening Up
A-Cang saw Zi Ye and ran over to show off his new beast-hide.
“Dad, look! Is my beast hide pretty? The bad female made it for me.”
After saying that, he quickly added in a small voice, “If… if you don’t like it, I… I’ll give it back to her right away…”
Afraid Zi Ye would get angry, his voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, and he didn’t dare raise his head.
Zi Ye had originally wanted to lose his temper, but suddenly calmed down.
Glancing in Luo Luo’s direction, he immediately understood what Luo Luo and Chi Yao were doing.
She was probably going to make clothes for Chi Yao too, which was why she had knelt down and hugged his waist to measure him.
After figuring it out, he suddenly wasn’t angry anymore and said to A-Cang, “It looks good. You can wear it.”
A-Cang almost couldn’t believe his ears. His father was actually letting him accept a gift from the “bad female.”
Had his father misspoken, or had he heard wrong?
He asked in disbelief, “Really? I can keep this beast hide—no, these… pants?”
Zi Ye looked at the blue-patterned beast hide on A-Cang’s body. It really did look quite nice.
So this thing was called “pants.” A pretty interesting name.
He nodded. “Go play. Don’t run too far.”
This time A-Cang heard clearly. He ran off excitedly to find A-Jin.
Xiao Zhan said disdainfully, “Big brother, you’ve been bewitched by her too.”
He had thought Zi Ye had strong willpower. Hah.
Zi Ye shrugged. “Whether she’s good or bad to me doesn’t matter. But if she can be a little better to my cubs, then I’m willing to give her a chance.”
After all, Luo Luo was A-Cang and A-Jin’s real mother. Blood ties were not something that could simply be severed.
If cubs grew up without a mother’s love, they definitely wouldn’t be happy.
He didn’t want his cubs to live inside his hatred.
“You’re really pretty ‘great,’ huh,” Xiao Zhan sneered.
Great, my ass. Just a fool.
Hatred shouldn’t be forgiven or forgotten. It should be passed down from generation to generation.
Zi Ye patted his shoulder. “You don’t have cubs, so you don’t understand. But…”
He paused, then said, “If you want your illness cured, you’d better be a little nicer to her.
Say some pleasant words and keep yourself alive. It’s a pretty good deal.”
Xiao Zhan’s heart fell into conflict.
He didn’t want to admit it, but after soaking in the bath with Luo Luo yesterday, the itching on his body really had eased up, and the rotting skin had started to scab over.
She had said he needed to soak at least two more times.
“If you don’t want to die, then obediently soften up—even if you’re just pretending,” Zi Ye said.
Xiao Zhan lowered his head in thought. Big brother’s words made sense, but just imagining himself wagging his tail and begging for favor in front of Luo Luo made him feel sick.
Sick at how cheap he’d become.
But if he didn’t do it, he might really lose his life.
While Xiao Zhan was still struggling inside, Luo Luo had already finished making the clothes.
“Come, try it on.”
Chi Yao looked curiously at the thing called “pants,” scratched the back of his head, and said, “How do you wear this?”
“It’s very simple. Just put both legs in, pull it up, and fasten the button.”
Chi Yao said “Oh,” and in the next second, the beast hide around his waist was yanked off and thrown far away.
When Luo Luo saw the scenery below his waist, she hurriedly covered her face. “Ahhh! Why don’t you avoid people when you take off your pants?!”
Chi Yao looked puzzled. “I didn’t take off my pants. I took off the beast hide. And why should I avoid you? You’re my female master.”
The moment Luo Luo saw “that thing,” scenes from those three crazy days began replaying uncontrollably in her mind.
Blushing furiously, she closed her eyes and handed the clothes to Chi Yao. “Hurry up and put them on.”
Chi Yao found Luo Luo’s shy appearance very entertaining and teased her. “I won’t wear them. You put them on for me.”
As he spoke, he grabbed Luo Luo’s hand and placed it on his waist, even deliberately sliding it downward a bit.
His intentions were as clear as day. Zi Ye and Xiao Zhan both understood.
Zi Ye’s gaze darkened even more. Xiao Zhan imitated Chi Yao and said, “I won’t wear them. I want you to put them on for me.”
He pulled funny faces and exaggerated his expression, successfully making Zi Ye laugh.
“You’re pretty good at copying. Don’t forget to soak in the bath with her tonight. Not for anything else—just for your own life. And you can annoy Chi Yao at the same time.”
Hearing this, Xiao Zhan suddenly became interested. If he could anger that arrogant Chi Yao to death, he’d be willing to endure a little disgust.
Luo Luo had no choice but to tough it out and help Chi Yao put on the pants.
Her fingers were almost curled into orchid-finger poses, just so she wouldn’t touch him—especially the parts she absolutely must not touch.
Chi Yao laughed so hard his whole body shook. “Female master, you’re really cute. I can’t get both legs in.”
Hearing that, Luo Luo quickly opened her eyes, only to see Chi Yao’s pants pulled up halfway.
“Hurry up and put them on properly.” She looked around nervously, her heart inexplicably tense.
Fortunately, Zi Ye and Xiao Zhan weren’t nearby.
She didn’t know that the two of them were hiding in a tree and had seen everything.
After Chi Yao finished putting on the pants, he was pleasantly surprised to find that not only did they allow him to move freely, they were also very comfortable.
Heaven, what kind of miserable life had he lived before?
With pants like this, who would still wear beast hides? They were hot, inconvenient, and ugly.
The pants his female master made didn’t reveal anything and looked good no matter how he looked at them—the light blue fabric was especially pretty.
“Female master, what animal’s skin is this from?” he asked.
In his heart, he was already planning that the next time he went hunting, he would catch more of these blue-colored creatures.
Then he could have her make him several pairs of pants to rotate through.
He was going to become the brightest boy on Savage Island.
“This is called cloth. It’s not animal skin,” Luo Luo said.
“Then where can I get this ‘cloth’?”
“Well… if you behave obediently, I’ll make you a few more pairs of pants.”
Luo Luo quickly saw through his little scheme. This guy loved showing off—one piece would definitely never be enough.
Sure enough, Chi Yao nodded happily. “I knew female master treated me the best.”
In the tree, Xiao Zhan kept copying Chi Yao’s expressions at Zi Ye.
Zi Ye kicked him down with one foot. Xiao Zhan flipped in the air and landed on the ground.
When he looked up, he met Luo Luo’s curious gaze.
Chi Yao gritted his teeth. “You were eavesdropping on us?”
Did he have no shame at all? A grown man doing such shameless things.
Xiao Zhan had wanted to compete with him, but remembering Zi Ye’s words, he suddenly changed his face.
He grabbed Luo Luo’s hand gently and said in a soft, delicate voice, “Female master, I want one too…”
“Ah? Huh? What did you just say?”
Luo Luo jumped several meters away in an instant, goosebumps popping up all over her body.
What was this big tiger saying? Had his brain broken?
Xiao Zhan got into character, tears welling up in his eyes. “Female master, don’t you love me anymore? Aren’t I your little cutie?”
When the original owner of this body was in a good mood, she would sometimes call him “little cutie.”
That nickname stood in sharp contrast to his huge body.
“What I mean is, I want that new beast hide too. Female master, make me one as well.”
Xiao Zhan advanced step by step, forcing Luo Luo backward until her back pressed tightly against a huge tree, with nowhere left to hide.
She stiffened and refused, “Um, sorry, I don’t have your measurements. I can’t make it.”
“Measurements?” Xiao Zhan tilted his head and thought. So when she had knelt down earlier, she had been measuring Chi Yao’s size.
He smiled sweetly. “You can measure me now, female master. Come on.”
Without waiting for Luo Luo to refuse again, he ripped off the beast hide around his waist and tossed it straight into the fire.
“Oops, female master, my beast hide got burned up.”
He looked devastated. “Female master, can you really bear to see me with nothing to wear? I’m still a sick person, you know.”
Luo Luo’s brain crashed once again, and her eyes unconsciously drifted downward…
What a beautiful spring scene.
Spring sights were truly arousing.
Um—what is wrong with you males? Why do you take off your pants at the slightest disagreement?!
