Fortunately, He Jiaojiao was indeed attracted by the pheasant in Zhutian's hand and did not ask them about the follow-up.

"This pheasant is so fat, can it fly?"

He Jiaojiao couldn't help but reach out to pull the pheasant's tail, but unexpectedly it flapped its wings suddenly, scaring Jiaojiao so much that she took a step back and fell into Xingci's arms.

"You stinky pheasant! How dare you scare me!" He Jiaojiao said angrily, as if trying to save face. "I'll roast it for you later!"

I thought that there was still some honey in the space, so I could brush it on the pheasant and roast it, which would give it a unique flavor.

When He Jiaojiao thought of the sizzling roasted pheasant, she felt her mouth watering.

"Why don't we start grilling now!"

Chi Yan wanted to buy time for the cubs to recover, so he took the pheasant from Zhutian's hand.

"But the kids are still waiting for us ahead..."

He Jiaojiao said hesitantly.

"You guys are all very capable, nothing will happen. It's just roasting a pheasant, it won't take much time. At worst we can just speed up a bit later." Chi Yan said with a smile.

Seeing that no one objected, and He Jiaojiao having not eaten much at lunch and feeling a little hungry, she nodded and agreed, "Okay then, we need to move faster. After all, this is the first time for the cubs to be alone in the wild, and I'm a little worried."

"Do not worry!"

Chi Yan said this and quickly took the pheasant to deal with it.

Ziyi hurriedly started to make a fire, and Zhutian came to Zhuxiong. The two of them were whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were talking about.

After a while, Bamboo Bear was seen walking silently into the jungle alone.

It's true that He Jiaojiao may not have noticed the problem at the beginning, but if she still hasn't realized that her friends are hiding something from her, then she is really stupid.

Thinking back to when Mo Ran and the others came back just now, their expressions were relaxed, so nothing serious must have happened. But the kids must have encountered some minor troubles, which is why they asked Hong Yi and their fathers for help.

In fact, before this, He Jiaojiao was not sure that the eagle cry she heard before was from Hongyi. It was only when she saw Zhutian whispering to Zhuxiong that she was sure of it.

But if I go find Bamboo Bear, could it be that one of the cubs is injured?

Thinking of this, He Jiaojiao's heart suddenly jumped up, and she wished she could catch Mo Ran and the others and ask them clearly.

But He Jiaojiao also knew that she couldn't do that. She could only pretend that she knew nothing about what was going on. After all, she didn't want to hold the kids back because of her.

Chi Yan's cooking speed was very fast, and the roasted chicken soon gave off a fragrant aroma.

"Ayan, when the chicken is almost done, just brush it with honey and bake it for a while."

He Jiaojiao took out the honey from the space, and Ziyi hurried over to hand the honey to Chi Yan. Chi Yan looked at the honey, then looked at the spoon in his hand, and for a moment he didn't know how to brush the honey evenly on the roast chicken.

"Use this!" He Jiaojiao looked at the pine tree not far away, then walked over and picked a handful of pine needles. "Wash this, then dip it in honey and brush it on."

Chi Yan was skeptical. After all, could this thing that looked like a bone needle really be used to get honey?

Unexpectedly, the effect of pine needles was far better than He Jiaojiao had imagined. Not only was the brush applied evenly, but there was also no waste.

The roast chicken brushed with honey looks more shiny and glossy, and the aroma of the roast chicken is mixed with a hint of honey. This feeling is very strange and tempting.

"All right!"

Chi Yan quickly tore off a chicken leg and handed it to He Jiaojiao. He Jiaojiao just reached out to take it, but was stopped by Zi Yi.

“This is hot!”

Chi Yan then remembered that this temperature would hurt females. It was all because he hadn't roasted a chicken for He Jiaojiao for so long that he even forgot such an important thing.

"Let me do it!" Zhutian came over and took the chicken leg, then used his wind ability to cool the surface before handing it back to He Jiaojiao.

With Zhutian's hand, He Jiaojiao took a big bite of the chicken leg.

Apparently, the honey-baked roast chicken tasted better than the previous one. He Jiaojiao squinted her eyes in satisfaction and swallowed it contentedly.

"Come and try it, it's really delicious!"

He Jiaojiao wanted to take the chicken leg from Zhutian and motioned Zhutian to try a piece as well.

"I'm not hungry!" Zhutian dodged He Jiaojiao's hand while pinching the chicken leg. "This is very greasy. Let me feed you!"

Seeing that Zhutian didn't want to let go, He Jiaojiao had no choice but to nod. However, she also didn't want to see Zhutian not eat a single bite, so she pushed the chicken leg to his mouth and said, "Take a bite and see."

He Jiaojiao was so close that she could even see her own reflection in Zhutian's eyes.

"it is good!"

Zhutian smiled, lowered his head and took a light bite.

The chicken was roasted very tender and marinated before, so it was very flavorful. After just one bite, Zhutian was conquered by the taste.

"Isn't it delicious?"

He Jiaojiao looked at Zhutian eagerly, her eyes full of anticipation.

Zhutian tasted it carefully and nodded, "Mm, it's really delicious."

He Jiaojiao then started to smile, and her two round eyes instantly turned into crescents, making her look much more lively.

After eating and drinking, He Jiaojiao couldn't wait to urge her companions to hurry up. Seeing that the sun was beginning to set, He Jiaojiao always felt that there were monsters hiding in the forest after dark. If they were not careful, they would be eaten up.

"It's only been an afternoon since I last saw the cubs, and you're so anxious, Jiaojiao. When they grow up and go after other females, it's normal for them to not come home for three or five days. If they leave like us, there will be countless of them just following the females. What will you do then, Jiaojiao?"

Chi Yan said as he packed up.

After not hearing He Jiaojiao's response for a long time, he looked up and found that He Jiaojiao's eyes were red. The other partners were looking at him with blaming eyes, as if silently accusing him of talking about such a sad topic.

"Oh, the kids are still young, and it's too early for them to grow up!" Chi Yan hurried over to He Jiaojiao and persuaded her.

"But one day, they will follow other females and leave me, their mother, right?"

He Jiaojiao looked up, her eyes filled with tears, which made people feel distressed.

"It's all my fault. Why did I bring up this for no reason? I made Jiaojiao feel uncomfortable!" Chi Yan punched himself in self-blame, then said to He Jiaojiao in a gentle voice, "If you want, you can let the boys stay with you all the time!"

He Jiaojiao shook her head. She hoped her children would be happy rather than herself. After all, she couldn't stay with them forever. They would have to go out on their own one day.
