Chapter 373: Chapter 248: Let Them Have Meat? + I’ll Teach Them to Fly

Smelling the fragrant aroma of food coming from the kitchen, the little cubs swarmed in, circling happily around the aproned Ling Hong’s legs and wagging their little tails wildly.

"AWOOO~" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

’It smells so good! Father’s cooking is the best. I can’t take it, my mouth is watering.’

Number Two, with his ears flattened back, stretched his chubby body as far as it would go, his sharp little front claws gripping the corner of the table.

"SLURP~" Staring at the steaming roasted meat on the table, he licked his nose with his pink tongue, his dilated pupils revealing his immense craving.

He carefully tried to hook a piece of meat from the plate with his short little paws.

But the next second...

"WHAP—"

A flick to the head sent Number Two reeling. He clutched his head with his front paws, his big, round, teary beast-pupil eyes filled with indignation. "Awoo~"

"This is for your mother. No sneaking food," Ling Hong said, glancing at him. He then grabbed Number Two by the scruff of his neck and gently placed him on the carpet.

He picked up the three restless little ones and set them down in front of three bowls. "Your food is here."

"Awoo awoo?" Number One stared at the goat’s milk, porridge, and a few vegetable balls before him with a puzzled look.

"AWOOO—" Number Two let out a mournful howl. He wanted meat, not vegetable balls and milk.

"Woo~" Number Three carefully scooped up a vegetable ball with his paw, looking prim and well-behaved. After two nibbles, he went, "PTUI PTUI!" and obediently lowered his head to lap up his milk instead.

When Ling Hong returned to the dining room with the plate of roasted meat, the three little ones exchanged a look before taking off again, toddling after the meaty scent in the air.

Seeing the adults feasting on the meat, the three little cubs raised their heads in envy, watching them eagerly, their little pink tongues unconsciously licking their lips.

"Can they eat meat yet?" An Jin asked, looking at the pitiful little cubs. She was torn between laughter and pity.

The cubs were now over a month old. Just after they turned one month, Mi Yin had forcibly weaned them because their teeth were starting to grow in.

They could only have some goat’s milk, cow’s milk, porridge, and vegetable balls.

For cubs who couldn’t have their mother’s milk or any meat, this was agonizing enough to make them want to go on a hunger strike.

Ling Hong cleared his throat twice and scratched his nose. "I wasn’t a picky eater when I was little. I ate whatever was available. So... how about we give them a little meat and see what happens?"

"AWOO! AWOO!"

The three cubs wagged their little tails frantically, turning to tug at the hem of An Jin’s skirt and looking up at her imploringly.

Exasperated but amused, An Jin cut a few small slices of roasted meat for them.

The little cubs pounced like hungry tigers, gobbling it all down in a few big bites.

She was afraid they would eat too fast and choke, so she even reminded them to slow down. But seeing them wolf it down without any trouble, she was relieved.

"Could you get me three plates and three bowls? I’m going to get some meat broth for the little ones," An Jin said, turning her head to Mi Yin.

He nodded and shot a cool glance at the three little cubs. The trio instantly froze as if stared down by a viper, anxiously half-covering their faces with their paws.

’Awoo, this snake is so mean and scary! He looks like he’s going to eat us!’

Mi Yin turned and took a few plates and bowls from the rack, then went to the kitchen and ladled some meat broth. An Jin cut up suitable pieces of meat and placed them on the plates.

"Come now, Mother will hold you while you eat." She had just started to bend down.

Mi Yin impassively used his snake tail to sweep the three yelping cubs aside. "Let them eat by themselves. Being spoon-fed from such a young age, what will they become?" He admitted to himself that he was jealous.

He then placed the food in a nearby corner.

"Awoo!" The three little ones shot him an indignant look and yelped twice to vent their frustration, but ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation of food and trotted over to gnaw on the meat.

Each cub’s plate held a slice of honey-roasted meat, a bowl of fresh meat and vegetable soup, and two small red fruits—a nutritious and well-balanced meal.

’Awoo awoo~ This is so delicious.’

Number One devoured his portion as if he were starving, pawing at the meat as he chewed.

Number Two was no slouch either. Before he had even finished the roasted meat on his own plate, his beady little eyes were already sneaking glances at the meat broth on Number One’s plate.

"Awoo!" Number One shot him a wary look and put a paw over his food bowl protectively.

Number Three was the most refined and demure of the trio.

Perhaps because his teeth weren’t as sharp, he always chewed his food slowly and carefully, no matter how hungry he was.

Mimicking the adults, he carefully used his sharp claws to cut the roasted meat into little slices, only starting to eat bite by bite once the tender meat inside was exposed.

An Jin couldn’t help but smile seeing their three distinctly different ways of eating. Although they were still just little beast cubs a little over a month old, you could already see their vivid, human-like personalities shining through.

"Awoo~?" Hearing their mother’s laughter from a distance, the three little cubs didn’t have time to turn around, but their ears all perked up in unison.

Number One and Number Two also slowed their eating, trying their best to look more demure and well-behaved.

After eating and drinking their fill, the three little cubs lazed on the floor, sprawled out like starfish. The warm sunlight filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows shone on their snow-white fur, making them look like three lifelike plush toys.

Ling Hong picked the three of them up and put them back in bed.

"Awoo~" The three little lazybones licked their lips, not yet fully satisfied. They hooked the corner of the blanket with their little paws, curled up under the covers, and quickly fell asleep.

From a distance, the blanket bulged with three lumps of nearly the same size, a sight that would make anyone chuckle.

...

The little cubs grew very quickly. By the time they were a month and a half old, they could already run, jump, and move about freely.

The wings on Number Two’s and Number Three’s backs were also fully covered in snow-white feathers.

Number Two was the mischievous one. Seeing the big birds flying in the sky, he grew eager to try it himself, climbing up to the roof and attempting to jump off while flapping his little wings.

If Ling Hong hadn’t happened to discover him, he would have surely broken a bone.

"How about you let me teach them to fly? No one’s flying skills are better than an Eagle Beast’s." Song Yi, who had been circling high above on patrol, happened to see the scene. He flew down to a branch, transformed into a man with golden hair and green eyes, and said to An Jin with a light chuckle as she rushed over.

"You’re not busy lately?"

Song Yi shook his head. "The rainy season is the busiest time. It’s fine now. Other than patrolling the territory, there’s not much else to do."

Ling Hong nodded and said to her, "Let’s have Song Yi train Number Two and Number Three. Number One’s traits are more like mine, so I’ll train him myself."

"Alright, then I’ll entrust these three little troublemakers to you." An Jin brought the three little ones over and patted each on the head. "You have to train hard, don’t cause trouble, and be good, okay?"

"Awoo~"

They affectionately nuzzled back against her.

Another half a month passed, and the cubs were now two months old. Perhaps because their diet was so good, or perhaps because of their strong bloodline, their size and strength were already comparable to those of three-month-old cubs.

Wherever An Jin went, the three little ones would follow. At first, it was her walking the three of them, but eventually, it became the three of them walking her.
