Chapter 529 Acknowledging Ant as Father (1/2)
That day was a sunny day, clear and cloudless. Even in the Dragon Death valley, the accumulated smoke lessened, and the sun rays shone on the valley unexpectedly.
An adult male Dragon Ant laid lazily on the lawn at the house's entrance. It was so comfortable basking in the sun. Oh, what a beautiful day!
The adult male Dragon Ant looked up into the sky, gazing at the green leaves above it. The sunshine illuminated the green silhouettes above its head with a gentle breeze blowing. The weather that day was too pleasant to go hunting.
There was still prey it had already hunted left at home from the other day, so it would be all right to take a day off.
Shhh… A rustle of friction was heard as if something was approaching.
The Dragon Ant didn't care about it. Since it had been promoted to the Overlord tier, it had never worried about its natural enemies.
In this valley, all the monsters above the Overlord tier had been taken away, leaving behind, at most, the Overlord tier, and the Dragon Ants were the most powerful of all the monsters in the valley.
Who would dare to provoke it? It yawned lazily, slanting its eyes to cast a glance.
Four young little dragon ants moved closer and closer together in unison. The adult Dragon Ant was stunned.
What was going on?
For a moment, the Dragon Ant didn't think much about it. Then the four little Dragon Ants ran up to him, and their throats gave out choked sobbing sounds. The voice was low and mellow, causing those who heard it deep grief.
Two little Dragon Ants among the others came together to rub their heads against the back of its feet. It was a sign of expressing goodwill, especially when Dragon Ants' children treated their parents that way.
”Oh boys, you've mistaken me for your father... I'm not your father.” The adult male Dragon Ant laughed while shaking its head. They were four naughty yet lovely little boys. The two little ones in my house were also so lovely when they were young.
But now that they had grown up and become more independent, it was almost time to separate and live apart. The adult male Dragon Ant was filled with emotions. At the same time, it was thinking that after the separation of the two grown-ups, it could suggest the old mother ant at home make a new nest of babies.
The four cute little Dragon Ant heard the adult male Dragon Ant telling them that it wasn't their father, causing them to fuss around at that instant and make more noise.
The adult male Dragon Ant's expression changed tremendously. If this was overheard by his other half at home...
”Please don't address me like that. I'm not your father.”
The adult female Dragon Ant heard the noise outside, so it crawled out of the cave. It saw the male dragon ant shout at the little Dragon Ants, ”Don't call me father, I'm not your father!”
”You don't want us anymore, Dad.”
”Mom asked us to come to you before she left.”
”Dad, we're very obedient. Please don't chase us away.”
The adult male Dragon Ant's compound eye saw the female dragon ant walking out, its body turning stiff. ”You have to listen to my explanation...”
The four little dragon ants turned their heads to face the female Dragon Ant. Then, they ran toward her at once, hugging her leg and crying piteously, ”Mom, Mom.”
The adult female Dragon Ant hesitated for a moment, then revealed a trace of tenderness in its eyes. When dealing with cute babies, a mother would always have a strong surge of patience and gentleness.
Of course, the premise was that the babies were of the same race. If it was a baby of another race, it would depend on whether it was hungry or not.
”Children, where are your parents?” The adult female Dragon Ant certainly didn't believe that her male counterpart could control the kids outside. After all, it still had this tinge of confidence in it.
Upon seeing the reaction of the two adult Dragon Ants, they thought of the plan B their owner gave them.
”We don't have parents,” Third Baby cried aloud while acting dumb and confused.
