18: Her words actually carry that much weight?

The way those words were said—it wasn't just White Fox and Hu Qi who were unhappy hearing them; even Nan Zhisui found them grating to her ears.

Nan Zhisui muttered softly, "The character of the beastmen in your village is really quite poor."

Hu Qi was both angry and anxious; he broke free from Nan Zhisui and rushed out to make a fierce threat, "Who let you bully my Father Beast here? You're just bullying us because you see our family has no female master! When I grow up, I will definitely make you pay!"

Nan Zhisui watched the Little fellow trying hard to protect its Father Beast, and it was quite cute.

She curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

White Fox was a person of eccentric character, but the cub he raised was truly excellent.

"A Little Cub this small dares to be fierce to me?!" The young Fox Beastman's beast markings stood out on his face; at a glance, he was clearly a two-striped Fox Beastman. His fierce nature manifested instantly, "Are you not afraid of death?"

"You dare to hit me? I am a cubs of Stone Village. If you dare to hit me, the village rules will punish you!" Hu Qi said angrily.

The Male Fox found it amusing and said, "Yo ho, using village rules to pressure me. White Fox, is this how you teach your cubs?"

"Aqi." White Fox pulled Hu Qi behind him. He lowered his eyes, his gaze slightly cold, "It is impossible to give the beast skin to you. You should leave."

"White Fox, you are really stingy. Your family doesn't even have a Female, what do you need so many things for? Let me see what good things your family has." As he spoke, this young Fox Male was about to barge into White Fox's home.

He was truly crazy.

"Don't you dare try to steal our family's things!" Seeing that the Male was about to force his way into their home, Hu Qi opened his mouth and bit his arm. "You bad beastman!"

The young Fox Male felt the pain and no longer wanted to endure it. He shook his arm vigorously, and his fist was about to descend. "Little Cub, you asked for this!"

White Fox's expression tightened slightly, and a faint Killing Intent permeated the air.

However, Nan Zhisui did not notice the tension here.

She saw that the Male Fox was about to take action against Hu Qi.

The opponent was a strong, adult two-striped Fox Beastman.

And on their side, there was a sickly invalid who was bent over and nearly dying, and a Little Cub who was only five years old, still far from growing up and Awakening.

This was clearly bullying the small with the big and the weak with the strong!

Even though Nan Zhisui wasn't the type of person who loved to show off or be a hero, she had been a guest at little Aqi's house for the past few days, eating their food and staying in their home. Therefore, she naturally had to stand on their side.

Alone away from home, in someone else's village, Nan Zhisui didn't want to stand out too much, but it wouldn't be a problem to secretly and surreptitiously launch some small hidden weapons.

So, she quickly found a slingshot from her space, picked up stones from the ground, and started shooting with the slingshot.

Her hands were strong, and the force of the slingshot was also great, shooting out with a whizzing sound.

"I'm hitting you, the bad Male who bullies Hu Qi and his Father Beast!"

After White Fox caught a glimpse of Nan Zhisui's direction out of the corner of his eye, his consciousness returned, and the Killing Intent receded.

Nan Zhisui was quite vicious too. She clearly knew that the combat power of beastmen was much stronger than ordinary Earthlings, and their defensive capabilities were also stronger than ordinary Earthlings.

Therefore, she didn't aim anywhere else, but specifically targeted his eyes.

Her aim was good, and every little stone hit its mark, landing right in his eyes.

"Ouch, ouch!" The young beastman covered his eyes, "Who did this?!"

With his vision blurred and attacks coming from unknown directions in the shadows, the young beastman decided to retreat.

"White Fox, you actually allowed your cubs to bite me and let someone hit my eyes! I'll remember this. Just you wait!"

After finishing his fierce threats, the young Male walked away, clutching his eyes.

When Nan Zhisui walked out holding the slingshot, little Hu Qi trotted over and threw himself into Nan Zhisui's arms. "Pretty Older Sister!"

White Fox's mouth twitched slightly.

Male cubs are extroverted; he had raised him with good food and drink for so many years, yet in the end, it couldn't compare to her single moment of action.

"Pretty Older Sister, thank you, you helped me again." Hu Qi looked up, his large, watery eyes gazing at Nan Zhisui.

Wow, so cute!

Nan Zhisui really couldn't help it; she bent down and picked up little Hu Qi, holding him in her arms and rubbing his face.

"How old are you, and you don't even weigh your own strength? You're acting like a hero at such a young age. If I were your Female Mother, I would punish you."

White Fox's gaze fell on her, then looked at Hu Qi, who was being held by her.

"He should be punished." White Fox couldn't help but cough twice, looking at Nan Zhisui.

Nan Zhisui felt a bit creeped out by his gaze.

Why was he looking at her? What did it mean?

Did he want her to say how to punish Hu Qi?

Hu Qi's watery eyes looked pitifully at Nan Zhisui, as if pleading for mercy, "Pretty Older Sister, will Aqi be punished?"

No way... She was just a guest; why were this father and son asking how to discipline the Little Cub?

Besides, little Hu Qi was so cute.

Nan Zhisui was speechless. She stammered, "I think... um... although little Hu Qi was a bit impulsive, his heart was still in the right place to protect his Father Beast, his courage is commendable! Then... then I think you can punish little Aqi by making him responsible for cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks; all the dishes tonight will be washed by little Aqi!"

White Fox glanced at Hu Qi, and Hu Qi quickly jumped out of Nan Zhisui's arms and went to wash the big, heavy pot.

Nan Zhisui felt a bit bad after seeing little Aqi actually go and do it.

Although the rain wasn't heavy, it was still falling. Would he catch a cold from being out in it like this?

Nan Zhisui's sympathetic gaze was completely caught by White Fox.

She said softly, "To avoid getting sick, it's best to give him a hot bath."

She was just saying it casually, but she saw White Fox pick up a wooden bucket carved from wood, go to the nearby river to scoop up water, and then put it on the simple firewood stove to heat it.

Nan Zhisui: "..."

How strange, did her words as a guest really carry that much weight?

When Hu Qi finished washing the dishes and returned, his beast skin skirt was indeed soaked through.

White Fox poured the hot water into the wooden bucket, tested the water temperature, placed the bucket in the Cave, and began to bathe Hu Qi.

Hu Qi used to just roll around in the river to bathe; he had never had a hot bath before.

He didn't expect that when Pretty Older Sister was here, he would actually have the chance to take a hot bath!

"Pretty Older Sister, don't look, okay." Hu Qi instructed.

"Mm-hmm, not looking, not looking." Nan Zhisui rested her chin in her hands and looked out at the curtain of rain.

To be honest, even though she wasn't looking behind her, she could still hear the sound of water and the low voices of the father and son talking behind her.

This Male, White Fox, although his tone was usually cold, was warm on the inside.

He was very thoughtful and would take care of every little thing; he was also very warm and had special patience for the cubs.

He was truly a top-tier Male with a strong sense of a devoted husband.

Such a good Male, yet his female master was cruel enough to sell him for three beast skins, actually trampling on him like this.

It was truly incomprehensible.
