"She was, after all, the person your clan had chosen as your partner!"
Gu Miaomiao understood now, "Qiuqiu, are you jealous?"
Why would I be jealous?
Gu Miaomiao brought her lips close to hers, smelled them, and then licked them. "You're just jealous, but you won't admit it. Don't worry, we've made a pact of unity, so nothing in this world can separate us, not even death."
Although the word "death" sounded a bit jarring, it was still a pleasant thing to hear, and Shen Wuqiu was immediately reassured, "Anyway, I'm not jealous."
Gu Miaomiao found her secretly pouting incredibly cute and leaned in to kiss her on the lips.
Shen Wuqiu opened her mouth, "You're so annoying..."
They've been kissing all afternoon.
Gu Miaomiao dodged away and took the opportunity to get up and go to the cabinet to find something.
Shen Wuqiu tidied up the clothes she had changed out of and handed them to the maid outside. When she returned and saw that Shen Wuqiu was still looking for something by the closet, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you looking for?"
“Something you can use.” Gu Miaomiao stuck her whole head into the cabinet and rummaged around for a long time before finally finding a small red wooden box. “Finally found it.”
Seeing how much she treasured it, Shen Wuqiu couldn't help but lean closer. "What is it?"
Gu Miaomiao opened the wooden box in front of her and showed her what was inside. Inside the box were white jade rods of different sizes and lengths.
Shen Wuqiu looked at it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what it was. Finally, he took one out and held it in his hand, continuing to examine it, but still couldn't see anything different. "Is this the good stuff I can use?"
Gu Miaomiao nodded, "Didn't you say before that you were worried that your area would deform and look bad after giving birth...?"
"..." Shen Wuqiu understood instantly, the thing in her hand suddenly became hot to the touch, and she quickly threw it into the box, "I don't need it..."
"Qiuqiu, you have to be careful, this set is very rare."
Shen Wuqiu didn't know where to look at herself. "Oh, then you should keep this safe. I really don't need it."
Gu Miaomiao tilted her head and secretly sized her up, "Does Qiuqiu know how to use this?"
Shen Wuqiu said expressionlessly, "I don't know. Anyway, I don't need it."
"It's very simple. Just put it in after you've soaked it in the medicine."
"..." Shen Wuqiu looked at her, gritting her teeth, and said, "I really don't need it!"
"Oh." Gu Miaomiao put the wooden box away and placed it back in the cabinet.
Seeing that she had given up so easily, Shen Wuqiu felt a little uneasy, but she didn't know what to say. After feeling frustrated for a moment, she said that she was going to go see the babies.
Gu Miaomiao didn't follow. After watching her leave, she took out the wooden box again, compared the jade rods inside one by one, and finally chose one of medium length and size and put it in her pocket. After putting the wooden box away, she slowly left the room.
A note from the author:
Love you all, muah!
Chapter 121
After Shen Wuqiu came out, she touched her still slightly flushed face and felt a little uneasy. She wandered around outside for a while before going back inside.
The main hall was now filled with cats of all sizes. The giant orange cat, still fast asleep, was like their playground, with all sorts of cats frolicking and playing on him.
Although she already knew that the people covering the mountain were not human, Shen Wuqiu was still shocked by the sight.
Meow~
Just as she stood at the door, unsure which foot to step with first, a small calico bird poked its head out from the crack in the door, tilted its head, and called out to her.
[The mountain is back!]
Suddenly, all the cats that were playing earnestly in the room looked at her and then meowed at her in unison.
Suddenly being stared at by so many round cat eyes, Shen Wuqiu felt a little creeped out, but on the surface, she managed to maintain her composure as the person behind the mountain. She pretended not to look at them and gave a fake laugh as a greeting.
Fortunately, these cats weren't as particular about formalities as people. After greeting her, they went back to playing on their own. Only a few lively ones came up to her to curry favor. The most mischievous one was the little calico cat that stuck its head out from under the door and was trying to hook a decorative pendant on her boots with its little paws.
It looked quite interesting, and Shen Wuqiu couldn't help but take a second look. The more she looked, the cuter it seemed, so she deliberately moved her feet closer to the little calico.
She approached, and Xiao Sanhua's little feet immediately hooked onto the little pendant on her ankle boots. But after hooking, Xiao Sanhua immediately let go, stood there for two seconds, and then suddenly pulled her little head back.
Looking at her lively spirit, Shen Wuqiu couldn't help but chuckle. Peeking through the crack in the door, he smiled at Xiao Sanhua.
Little Sanhua looked at her and then carefully stretched out her little feet.
As soon as the little toe stretched out, it was swatted back by a brownish-yellow little toe.
The little calico girl immediately tucked her tail between her legs and ran away in a flash.
Shen Wuqiu looked at his jealous daughter, feeling both amused and exasperated. He bent down, picked her up, and tapped her forehead to scold her: "You are a little god, you can't bully your clansmen, and you can't bully the weak."
Er Mao, the little jealous one, meowed in dissatisfaction and rubbed against her neck affectionately.
Her gentle touch melted Shen Wuqiu's heart. She couldn't bear to say anything more and bent down to hug the other three little ones who had come closer. "You've been playing all day. Are you tired? Are you hungry?"
When it comes to food, Simao is incredibly enthusiastic. He even stopped yawning halfway through and quickly offered his opinion: "Meow~"
I want fish paste~
"You're such a little foodie." Shen Wuqiu couldn't help but sigh softly. Thinking of Su Yunzhi's previous worries, and considering her own youngest daughter's foodie nature, she was filled with concern.
"Meow~" Simao had already started licking his lips, looking at her expectantly.
Shen Wuqiu couldn't bear it anymore. "Let's go, I'll take you to eat fish paste."
As soon as they left, the little calico cat that had slipped away quietly followed them.
Shen Wuqiu didn't notice at first, only that the second child in her arms was being restless, baring its teeth at her back. It wasn't until Er Mao couldn't help but jump off her and bite Xiao Sanhua that she realized what was happening.
"Er Mao, let go..."
Little Sanhua seemed completely defenseless, howling as Er Mao bit her.
Shen Wuqiu quickly stepped forward and rescued him from Er Mao's mouth. Looking at the pitiful little Sanhua, Shen Wuqiu felt a little guilty: "Are you hurt anywhere?"
"Meow~" The little calico girl timidly lowered her tail and struggled to get down from her hands.
Shen Wuqiu put him down and was relieved to see that he could walk normally.
After confirming that Xiao Sanhua was alright, Shen Wuqiu went to scold Er Mao, "What did Mommy just tell you?"
"Meow~" Er Mao argued forcefully.
[Who told him to follow us? Don't think I don't know he's just trying to steal Mom from us.]
"..." Shen Wuqiu sighed, feeling utterly helpless. All the cats in the house, big and small, were exactly the same. Taking a deep breath, she decided to reason with her daughters, appealing to their emotions, "Everyone has their own mother. How can a mother be so easily taken away?"
Sanmao perched on her shoulder, watching the little calico cat, meowing.
But he doesn't have a mother.
Shen Wuqiu asked, puzzled, "Why doesn't he have a mother?"
The kitten pouted, turned around and ran away. After running a few meters, it looked back at Shen Wuqiu, then darted into the flower bed next to it and disappeared.
Shen Wuqiu stared at the direction where he disappeared for a long time. Perhaps it was because she had become a mother, but she felt that the little calico's eyes were particularly heartbreaking.
Er Mao, the little jealous one, was displeased. "Meow~"
Shen Wuqiu was already dissatisfied with Er Mao's behavior, and now her tone turned cold: "Your mother just told you that these are all your clansmen, and you can't bully them. Besides, your mother is a mountain lord, and they are both your clansmen and your mother's subjects. As a little god lord, how can you bully your clansmen? Where does that leave your mother's face?"
Er Mao grumbled and didn't want to listen, but seeing that her mother was really angry, she didn't dare to talk back. After hesitating for a moment, she obediently rubbed against Chen Wuqiu's feet, meowing.
[My daughter knows she was wrong~]
"It's good to admit your mistakes and correct them." After all, she's his own child, so he has to be a little biased. Seeing that she admitted her mistake, Shen Wuqiu picked her up again and softened his tone. "Sanmao just said that he doesn't have a mother. Children without mothers are even more pitiful, so you can't bully them."
Big Fur, who had been silent all along, meowed.
His parents don't want him anymore.
Shen Wuqiu was even more puzzled, "Why?"
Da Mao hesitated for a while before quietly telling her the reason.
Because the calico cat is a male, the calico lineage itself is not purebred and is relatively weak. Most of the males are female, although there are males, but male calico cats have genetic defects that make it difficult for them to survive. Even if they do survive, they may not be able to reproduce normally.
Therefore, for the spirit cat clan, which reveres strength, calico cats already held a low status, especially male calico cats. After the little calico cat was born, the clan members tried their best, but after a hundred years of effort, the little calico cat still could not transform into human form. This made the clan members lose heart, and his parents became indifferent to his life or death.
Eight hundred years have passed, and the little three flowers still look like a cub.
Hearing Da Mao say this, Shen Wuqiu became even more distressed.
She had thought that in the Spirit Cat Clan, which valued offspring so much, such an absurd thing as abandoning a child would not happen.
It turns out that everything in this world is the same.
After preparing fish and meat paste for the children herself, Shen Wuqiu instructed the maid to prepare a special portion for Xiao Sanhua as well, without keeping it a secret from the children.
Fortunately, the children didn't protest, which pleased Shen Wuqiu. She then took the opportunity to teach them: "A true strong person not only defeats the enemy, but also learns to have compassion for the weak. You are little gods, so you should learn to be compassionate, right?"
Da Mao meowed obediently.
Er Mao licked his lips, pretending not to hear.
Shen Wuqiu moved the fish paste in front of her away. "Er Mao, don't you think so?"
Er Mao then reluctantly meowed.
Sanmao quickly meowed in response.
Before she could even look over, Simao had already finished most of the fish paste and squeezed over to Damao's bowl.
Shen Wuqiu grabbed her arm. "Si Mao, don't you think so?"
Meow Simao, engrossed in his meal, genuinely didn't hear, looking completely bewildered: "Meow~"
【What do you mean, is it?】
Shen Wuqiu repeated it again, and Simao immediately gave her a positive answer, and then struggled to go downstairs to help her older sister with the meal.
Shen Wuqiu hugged her tightly, saying, "Si Mao, as girls now, we still need to pay attention to our health, don't you think? The food Mom prepared for you is all based on your needs during your growth period, so you can't be greedy."
Simao looked at the fish paste in her sister's bowl, licked her lips, and looked at Shen Wuqiu with a pitiful expression, meowing.
Shen Wuqiu couldn't stand this, so she bit her lip and said, "Then...then Mom will give you a little more?"
Si Mao immediately perked up.
