324: Chapter 324 The Moon Is Especially Round This Year [End of Volume 1 Extra Chapters]

Suddenly, a sweet voice sounded before him.

The Chief of the Bear Clan looked up and saw a Cub from his Tribe.

Behind the Cub were seven or eight other Cubs from their Tribe.

They were all standing in a neat row with their hands behind their backs, looking at him with sweet smiles.

He inexplicably felt a sense of unease.

"What are you doing?" the Chief of the Bear Clan asked.

The Cub standing at the very front said, "You told us not to waste the honey. So, we poured all the honey in the entire Tribe into the water!"

"What?"

"If we use it up this way, instead of eating it, it doesn't count as wasting it, right!"

The Chief of the Bear Clan's face turned pale.

The reason he didn't let the Cubs use the honey in the warehouse was that they needed it to trade for crystals with Rabbit City.

But then he thought to himself, if that much honey were poured out, it wouldn't even fit in the vats. Thank goodness, thank goodness...

The Cubs surely couldn't have poured it all out.

He patted his chest, just beginning to breathe a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, he heard a very young Cub shout, "We also poured the honey into the pond. That way, the water we draw later will be sweet directly!"

"Clang!"

The Chief of the Bear Clan's cup dropped to the ground.

"You little wastrels!"

He charged toward the Cubs, but they laughed and scattered, running back to their respective houses or caves.

The Chief of the Bear Clan chased one into a Male Beastman's cave, grabbed the Cub from under the covers, and kicked him in the butt.

Many Bear Tribe beastmen heard the commotion and ran out to check, while the Cubs also followed to join in the fun.

The Chief of the Bear Clan randomly grabbed another Cub and gave him another thrashing.

For a time, the entire Bear Tribe was in chaos.

The "Little Dove" lay on the roof, covering its mouth with its wings, eyes crinkling into crescent shapes as it laughed, making "coo-coo, coo-coo" sounds.

---

Half a year later, the day before the Moon Viewing Festival.

In the Beast Kingdom, the Male Beastmen in every household were busy.

Some were chopping filling, rolling dough, and making dumplings. Others were rolling filling, kneading dough, and making sweet rice balls.

It is said that making dumplings and cooking sweet rice balls were customs brought back by the Divine Maiden from the Divine Realm.

They could bless the whole family with reunion and happiness.

However, because of different tastes, the beastmen who liked sweet rice balls and those who liked dumplings often argued.

For example, those who liked sweet rice balls said that dumplings weren't round enough, and only sweet rice balls represented reunion.

Those who liked dumplings said that sweet rice balls were too sweet and were things only Cubs would eat.

Of course, there were also those who ate both. Like the Tang family.

Even the Beast King and the Beast God had to cook at home on the day before the Moon Viewing Festival.

However—after the second table was chopped in half by Fen Tian, he was kicked out of the kitchen.

"Leave the chopping of the filling to me!" Lang Lie pushed him out.

After a while, Heng Zhou was also kicked out. Fen Tian widened his eyes, looking at him in surprise.

"Big Brother, how did you also..." Heng Zhou scratched his head.

"I mistook sugar for salt and put it into the dumpling filling."

Fen Tian: ...

Fen Tian: "If we hadn't refined sugar, we wouldn't have this trouble."

Heng Zhou nodded, agreeing with his opinion. The two of them looked up at the moon together.

"Where are the Cubs?" Heng Zhou asked.

Fen Tian: "They are getting dressed up in A-Wu's room!"

He thought for a moment and added, "They won't let me go in either. They say I'll crush the Cubs' flowers."

Heng Zhou let out a laugh. "That's because your Energy has been growing too fast lately, and it's hard to control."

Fen Tian chuckled, "Yeah... I've absorbed almost all the Energy left behind by the Former Beast God. A-Wu really loves me."

Back then, when he signed a contract with A-Wu, for as much as she loved him, that much Energy would return to him.

Now that it had all returned, it meant... Fen Tian didn't know what he was thinking of, but his ears flushed slightly in the moonlight.

Suddenly, Heng Zhou looked toward the kitchen. He saw Yan Qing striding out, and as he passed them, he said, "We're out of soy sauce, I'm going to buy some."

Soy sauce was a seasoning that had only started to become popular this year. Yan Qing didn't have any in his space.

"I'll go!" Heng Zhou stood up.

The beastmen of the Beast King Palace had all been sent home by Yan Qing to spend the Moon Viewing Festival.

Yan Qing: "No need, I know which kind to buy, I'll be back soon."

Yan Qing had been gone for five minutes when they saw him return carrying a jar.

He passed Fen Tian and Heng Zhou without saying a word and ducked into the kitchen.

Suddenly, Yan Qing was grabbed by the back of his collar. He turned his head.

He saw a pair of crimson eyes narrow slightly. The next second, he was thrown out by Fen Tian.

Yan Qing crashed against the wall. Instantly, he turned into a blob of sticky liquid, which fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. The boy had one golden eye and one blue eye. His black hair was mixed with a few strands of golden-red hair.

"Huan Du, we said that every time we see you, we will kill you. How dare you still come?" Heng Zhou stepped forward.

Huan Du picked at his fingers. "I... I also want to spend the Moon Viewing Festival with you all."

"Heh!" Fen Tian was so angry he laughed. He raised his hand, intending to destroy him.

Heng Zhou suddenly grabbed Fen Tian's arm. He asked, "A while ago, when Anan was bullied on the road, was it you who stood up for him?"

Huan Du was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Heng Zhou asked again, "When someone from the Jiao Clan tried to sow discord between Guo Guo and Yan Qing, was it you who beat that beastman?" Huan Du nodded again.

At this moment, Yan Qing returned carrying the soy sauce. Seeing the scene before him, he was startled.

He walked over and asked, "Zhuoyan was bullied at school and didn't tell me. Did you turn into his teacher to come and complain to me?"

Huan Du stared at Yan Qing nervously and nodded. Then he explained, "I... I didn't mean to, I just wanted to protect them. They are also my nephew and niece, I..."

"You come here first," Yan Qing said.

Huan Du dragged his feet as he walked over. He wasn't afraid of death or pain, he only feared being loathed by them.

"You sit here and wait for a while." Yan Qing pressed him onto a stone chair. Then he whispered a few words to Heng Zhou.

Heng Zhou: "I know. It is we who are unwilling to forgive him, not little A-Wu... but..."

Huan Du pricked up his ears to listen. Turning his head, he bumped into Fen Tian's red eyes. Frightened, he immediately turned into a puddle of water.

But thinking that the image of a puddle of water was too poor, he endured his fear and turned back into human form. His figure kept trembling...

Heng Zhou looked at him, "We know that at the time, your memories were Sealed by the Former Beast God and hatred was injected into you. That's why you treated little A-Wu that way... Moreover, you have already died nineteen times; little A-Wu forgave you long ago. But—"

Heng Zhou paused, then said, "I still have to go and say something."

Huan Du's eyes lit up immediately. He nodded desperately, "I can do anything, Big Brother!"

Heng Zhou smiled slightly, turned around, and walked toward Tang Ruan's room.

Late at night, the Cubs surrounded Huan Du, sitting in the courtyard admiring the moon. The Cubs didn't know about the adults' grievances. They only knew that a little uncle who could turn into anything had arrived.

Tang Hanyan: "Then can you turn into a big tiger?" Huan Du immediately turned into a huge white tiger.

"Wow!" "So amazing!" The Cubs let out a chorus of exclamations.

Tang Zhuoyan: "Then can you turn into me?" Another Tang Zhuoyan immediately appeared before them. Only his eyes were slightly smaller.

Tang Zhuoyan: "Too amazing!" The other Cubs also clapped together.

When it was Tang Xintian's turn, she rolled her eyes and asked, "Then can you turn into completed homework?" Huan Du: ...

In the distance, the adults sat on the roof admiring the moon. Behind the five tall figures, a gentle voice sounded: "The moon seems especially round this year."
