Chapter 37: Nan Mo is missing

Chapter 37 Nanmo is missing

My mother said that Dongchi needs more sun exposure to replenish calcium. Bei Ji didn't understand what calcium supplement was, but it was probably for Dong Chi's good.

So Bei Ji helped Dong Chi out of the cave.

Dong Chi was so blinded by the sunlight that he couldn't open his eyes. He adjusted for a while before saying, "Bei Ji, the sun seems to have gotten a little bigger."

Bei Ji laughed: "Brother, what are you talking about? How can the sun get bigger?"

 Dong Chi closed his eyes slightly. They were only four years old and had never seen the sun get bigger. But when he was at Xiong Rou's house, he heard the male occasionally mention the flaming day that happened once every ten years.

 When the Fiery Day arrives, the sun will become bigger. Their land will also burn with the sun's wrath.

The earth is so hot that the vegetation cannot stand it and burns up. The cursed flames will cause a large number of animals and orcs to be roasted to maturity by the angry flames.

 For the world of beasts, the Fiery Sun is a crisis that threatens to end.

 Dong Chi lowered his eyes slightly.

 Probably not.

 It’s not so unlucky.

he thinks.

Bei Ji was busy outside the cave. Dong Chi glanced at him from time to time, and finally controlled himself not to think about things that only adults can think about.

Bei Ji suddenly asked: "Eldest brother, where is the second brother?"

Nan Mo's presence has always been very low, and the brothers were not worried if they couldn't find him for a while, so now Bei Ji noticed that Nan Mo was not at home.

“He seems to have gone out.” Dong Chi looked over.

 “Oh.” Bei Ji didn’t think much about it.

Si Yan, who was still in shock, walked out of the woods nearby. When she returned home and saw the two cubs in front of the cave, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I don’t understand why I am wearing it back and forth inexplicably.

But the Beast World is indeed a very exciting world.

“Dongchi, Beiji!” Seeing the two cubs in front of the cave, Si Yan excitedly stepped forward and gave them a hug.

Dong Chi frowned slightly and pushed her.

Si Yan was not discouraged and took a good look at Bei Ji.

Bei Ji was squeezed out of shape by her hug and muttered: "Mother, I can't breathe."

Si Yan quickly let go of him.

Bei Ji rubbed his face and asked childishly: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Si Yan laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I just miss you so much."

 “Where is Xiqing?” Si Yan asked again.

Beiji answered obediently: "The third brother went up the mountain to look for food."

Xiqing, who had just searched outside, returned to the cave. When he saw Si Yan in front of the cave, he jumped towards her excitedly.

 “Mother!”

 He buried his head in her belly and wiped away the tears from his eyes.

He...Tyson and Mu Xiao rescued him, but when he saw his mother disappearing in front of him, he was frightened.

 When I got home, I didn’t dare to tell my brothers, so I had to go to the woods to find her alone.

 She's okay, she's back.

Very good.

Si Yan touched Xiqing’s head. He laughed softly and said: "It's okay, mother is back."

 “Hmm…” Xiqing sniffed and wiped away her tears.

Si Yan immediately picked up the tools and started cleaning in front of the cave. While working, she said, "You are still young and don't need to do so many things. I will take care of you."

Dong Chi felt puzzled and hurt when he saw Xiqing suddenly accepting Si Yan.

He sneered at Si Yan: "Hypocritical."

If she hadn't seen Dong Chi as a wounded person, she would have wanted to beat him now.

This is my first time as a mother, why should I let him!

Bei Ji immediately stepped forward to help. He smiled and said, "Mother, that's not the case."

"Males in this world can only be recognized by their own species if they prove their ability to work. Although we are small, we also long to be recognized. So we also want to do something. Don't stop us from working. Otherwise we will I feel useless."

Si Yan touched Bei Ji's head and said with a smile, "Little Bei Ji is so good."

Bei Ji smiled shyly.

Dong Chi felt that everything in front of him was very dazzling. He suddenly said: "Female."

 “Huh?” Si Yan turned around. This cub calls her female, which is rude, but there is no one else calling her.

Dong Chi turned away his head and looked at the sky, mocking and scaring her: "The flaming day is coming."

 “Huh???” Si Yan didn’t understand even more.

 A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Dong Chi's lips.

If the Fire Day is really coming, this female will definitely run away, and their cubs will only be a drag on her.

 Especially him. If his foot is broken, she will abandon him.

　　will abandon him again.

 Dong Chi’s smile was desperate and sarcastic, and it was just like that.

This smile reflected in Si Yan's heart, causing a small tingling sensation in Si Yan's heart.

Even though Si Yan didn’t understand what Dong Chi was talking about, she still walked up to him and touched his head.

"Don't think too much." Si Yan said softly, "No matter what, our family will always be together."

Dong Chi was startled for a moment, his smile faded slightly, he lowered his head slightly and snorted.

 …

The news that Nan Mo and Xiong Rou fell off the cliff came only at night.

 The female dies, and the female beastmen will suffer a fatal blow due to the partnership contract.

The males of Xiong Rou's family suffered huge injuries and were almost dying.

Because of this, the village was even more convinced that Xiong Rou was dead.

　That night, it rained heavily.

Si Yan was shocked when she heard the news. She took Xiqing and Bei Ji and searched around the cliff for a long time.

 The rain became heavier and heavier, soaking Si Yan and Xiqing Beiji.

 The lonely and frightened female made Tyson, a male who had returned from hunting, feel a huge shock in his heart, and he hurriedly stepped forward.

Si Yan’s panicked eyes met his.

"Si Yan..." Because he is not her male yet, Tyson dare not touch her. He was very anxious, he wanted to protect her, but he was at a loss what to do.

Si Yan frowned slightly, her eyes a little hollow, and she looked at the cliff: "I haven't received his forgiveness yet...he disappeared..."

That Zaizai, shy and reserved, always hides in the corner and peeks at her secretly.

 When she was caring about Xiqing and Beiji, she was taking care of Dongchi.

That Zaizai didn’t say anything, he just hid in the corner and looked at her.

That is her Zaizai, the Zaizai she loves so much.

How could she share her care with other Zaizai but not share any of it with him?

She hasn't had time to compensate him, so how can he leave first?

 Her fault, it's all her fault!

The rain soaked Si Yan completely, and she trembled slightly. The fear and distress made Tyson extremely sad.

 He said hurriedly: "I'll look for him."

“Xiqing Beiji!” Tyson called Zaizai, who was on the other side looking for his second brother in the rain. “Take your mother back. She is thin and will get sick if she continues like this.”

 Witch medicine is rare in the world of beasts, and a small cold may kill the beast. What's more, she is a thin and small female like Si Yan.

 “I don’t need it!” Si Yan said firmly. "I'm going to find Nan Mo!"

 “Si Yan!” Tyson hesitated for a moment, then put his strong hands on her arms.

Si Yan then raised her head and looked at him.

"Si Yan..." Tyson's voice was very soft but firm, "From today on, I am your guardian beast. This is my intention and I will never change it."

Tyson’s forehead shone with a white light, and then quickly disappeared.

All this helped Si Yan calm down from her anxiety. She keenly noticed something was wrong here: "Tyson, what is the guardian beast?"

Tyson straightened up slightly, and a white ring slowly appeared on his chest near his heart. In the middle of the white ring, there were two small, crisp white leaves.

Xiqing and Beiji were surprised to see Tyson's totem, and Tyson was also slightly surprised.

 What kind of totem is this? A totem I have never seen before.

"Guardian beast..." Tyson keenly concealed the totem mark of his status as a guardian beast, and looked at Si Yan intently. His eyes showed the relaxation and joy he had never seen before, "I will protect you forever. Hold on to your male."

He covered the totem on his heart and stared at her with his burning eyes: "Listen to me, go back to the cave and wait. I promise you, I will bring Nanmo back to you."

 The guardian totem is a one-way totem. The totem will light up on Tyson's body, but not on Si Yan's body.
