Chapter 271: An Ominous Omen
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huanhuan brought the tiger cubs out to bask in the sun.
As there were suddenly many new beasts in the tribe, those people were not used to Huanhuanâs face. Every time they saw her, they would involuntarily be attracted to her. Often, someone would accidentally bump into others or something because they were too focused on staring at her. As a result, there were many conflicts.
In order to prevent this from happening again, Huanhuan would wear a veil every time she went out.
Although she was still attractive, it was much better than before.
There was an animal hide blanket on the grass. She sat on it and watched the cubs roll around.
Mu Xiang sat beside her with a pile of cotton cloth and needles in front of her. Her hands were busy sewing. She planned to make clothes for Jiu Yuan and Feng Lan respectively. She had made a semi-finished product.
As she worked, she said, âWhy donât you make clothes for your four mates?â
Although Xue Ling had yet to officially mate with Huanhuan, he had been living in Huanhuanâs house. Everyone had already treated him as Huanhuanâs mate. Huanhuan did not say anything about this, which was a tacit agreement.
Huanhuan smiled awkwardly. âWith my skills, I can barely make a skirt. In any case, I just have to sew two pieces of cloth together. Itâs not technical. But if I want to seriously make a skirt, forget it. I donât think Iâm that good. Iâd better not waste thread and cloth.â
Bai Di and Sang Ye were the ones who made all the clothes at home. They were very skilled, so Huanhuan shouldnât even try.
Mu Xiang laughed and asked mysteriously, âI actually wanted to ask you when youâre going to mate with Xue Ling.â
Huanhuan was stunned.
She stammered, âWhy are you suddenly asking about this?â
Mu Xiangâs eyes were filled with mischief. âTo tell you the truth, Xue Ling asked me to help sound you out. He wants to know when you plan to really accept him.â
Huanhuan was a little embarrassed. âWhy didnât he come and ask me himself?â
How could he tell outsiders about such private matters? How embarrassing.
Mu Xiang smiled brightly. âYou donât have to be shy. Weâre good friends. I know basically everything about your family. You can tell me whatever you think. Letâs discuss it together.â
Huanhuan tried to change the topic. âIs the neighborhood committee very free recently? Youâre actually in the mood to worry about my family.â
âYour family is also under the jurisdiction of the neighborhood committee. Itâs our job to maintain family harmony and promote single male beasts to find mates. Weâre doing this for everyoneâs sake, donât you think?â
Huanhuan didnât know whether to laugh or cry. âYou actually sound reasonable.â
Mu Xiang leaned toward her. âIâm serious. You were pregnant before and couldnât mate. Now that youâve finally given birth, shouldnât you seize the opportunity to settle the matter between you and Xue Ling?â
Huanhuan looked at her, and her heart skipped a beat. She suddenly asked, âMu Xiang, tell me honestly, how much did Xue Ling give you to persuade me for him?â
Mu Xiang coughed lightly and said righteously, âWhat are you talking about? Am I, Mu Xiang, the kind of beast who would betray her friends for benefits?!â
âForget it if you donât want to tell me. Iâll ask Xue Ling later. Heâll definitely be happy to tell me.â
Mu Xiang immediately grabbed her wrist. âDonât. If you go looking for him, it means my mission has failed.â
âSo you came to me on purpose to get information out of me to complete your mission.â Huanhuan understood. âWhatâs the mission reward he gave you?â
Mu Xiang raised a finger and whispered, âA red crystal.â
âHeâs really generous.â
Mu Xiang muttered, âIf it werenât for the red crystal, I wouldnât have shamelessly helped him approach you.â
âIs our friendship only worth one red crystal?â
Mu Xiang blurted out, âOf course not. How can our friendship be more precious than red crystals?!â
âHuh?â
Mu Xiang quickly corrected herself. âNo! I mean, our friendship is far more precious than red crystals! Not to mention one red crystal, even if itâs 10 red crystals, Xue Ling can forget about bribing me!â
âThatâs better.â
Mu Xiang smiled ingratiatingly. âHow do you plan to answer Xue Ling? Tell me whether youâll agree to mate with him or not so I can report back.â
Huanhuan curled her finger at her.
Mu Xiang immediately put her ear closer to Huanhuan.
Huanhuan said slowly, âTell Xue Ling to come to my room tonight. I haveâŠâ
She was halfway through her sentence when the sky suddenly darkened.
The sun in the sky was gradually disappearing!
All the beasts were stunned.
Some of the older beasts ran home while shouting in fear, âThe sun is going to be eaten by demons. Everyone, hide. Donât stand outside, or youâll all be eaten by demons!â
It was the first time the younger beasts had seen the sun being âeatenâ. They were all terrified.
Fear quickly spread. The beasts all ran home crazily. Some of them who were farther away from home simply found a place to squat down and hug their heads.
Mu Xiang immediately stood up and shouted, âGo back quickly! Youâll be eaten by demons if you stand outside!â
Huanhuan glanced at the sun that was gradually âdisappearingâ in the sky and asked in a low voice.
âLittle Brat, has the sun really been eaten?â
The system said, âTo think that youâre a university graduate who graduated from nine years of compulsory education. You actually asked such a stupid question. Didnât your primary school textbook explain how the solar eclipse came about?â
âI think itâs an eclipse too, but this isnât Earth, after all. We canât judge this world by common sense, so Iâm not too sure.â
Huanhuan slowly picked up the two tiger cubs on the ground, lest they be stepped on by the panicked beasts.
She tried to calm Mu Xiang, telling her not to be afraid.
Mu Xiang was anxious. âThe sun has been eaten by demons. How can I not be afraid? Donât just stand here. Come back with me!â đđ«eeweđŻđ§đveđ„.cđđ
Huanhuan was dragged a few steps forward.
At this moment, the entire Rock Wolf Tribe was in chaos. There were beasts running for their lives everywhere. Some of the cubs were scattered in their panic and fell to the ground, crying in fear.
At this moment, Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Sang Ye, and Xue Ling all came out.
They immediately found Huanhuan and the tiger cubs in the crowd. Xue Ling picked Huanhuan and the children up, preparing to fly back.
Mu Xiang was also picked up by Jiu Yuan and Feng Lan.
Huanhuan quickly pointed at a crying cub and said, âThat child fell. Go and pick him up.â
âLeave it to me!â Shuang Yun rushed over and picked up the cub.
He looked around and frowned at the chaos in the tribe.
Xue Ling had already flown back to the rock mountain with Huanhuan and the children.
The parents who had lost their cub were anxious and looking for the cub all over the place.
Shuang Yun returned the cubs to his parents before returning home with Bai Di and Sang Ye.
He said worriedly, âThe sun was suddenly eaten. Itâs an ominous sign.â
