Roar~ [Got it.]

The leopard cubs responded obediently as they hugged their mommy’s legs and whimpered pitifully.

“Seriously. You’re big boys already and you’re still wheedling,” Bai Qingqing said in amus.e.m.e.nt.

Parker’s heart also softened; something that rarely happened. He said, “They’re asking you when you’ll be coming back, whether you can be back by tomorrow.”

Bai Qingqing circled her arms around all three of them and said gently, “Nope. I don’t know when I will be back too.”

Then, she got to her feet and walked to the window. The cubs trailed after her.

With much effort, Bai Qingqing hoisted up the slightly lighter Third and pointed at the largest moon—the silver one, which represented the month. Right now it was only a crescent moon.

“Just look at the moon when you miss Mommy. Mommy will look up at the moon when I miss you three too. Since we’ll be looking at the same thing, you won’t feel that Mommy is so far away.”

Third widened his eyes and, staring at the silver moon, roared and nodded.

Eldest and Second climbed up to the window by themselves. The three cubs raised their heads in unison and softly howled.

Heart aching for them, Bai Qingqing stroked their heads one by one.

“Tomorrow after we leave, you three go live in the tree hole. It’s nearer to the tribal head’s home there, which makes it more convenient for you to go there and eat. That way you three won’t make a complete mess of our home. You’re not to make trouble in the tree hole, either. Mommy will check when I get back.”

Bai Qingqing gave them a stern reminder.

Roar!

The leopard cubs agreed unanimously.

At night, Bai Qingqing chased Curtis and Parker out of the nest and slept with her cubs on the gra.s.s pile.

…

The next day, before the skies brightened, five young and strong tiger beastmen reported at the stone castle entrance.

Sprawled on the nest, the leopard’s ears p.r.i.c.ked up as he tilted his head towards the entrance.
