Traveling through the world of beasts, various big guys are chasing after your pets!

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Chi Yan hurriedly supported He Jiaojiao and took him out of the basement. Before stepping onto the stairs, He Jiaojiao glanced at Mo Ran and found that his eyes were full of hurt, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Could it be that she misunderstood something?

But no matter what, Mo Ran was really going too far in treating the brat like this.

Back on the first floor, He Jiaojiao sat down angrily, looking as if she was still angry.

Chi Yan went over and poured her a glass of water, then squatted down in front of her.

"Jiaojiao, it's not that Mo Ran doesn't allow you to touch the cub, it's just..." Originally, Mo Ran was supposed to tell He Jiaojiao about these things, but the incident just now happened too suddenly, and Mo Ran didn't have the chance at all, which made He Jiaojiao angry. "According to the inheritance of snake beasts, snake cubs cannot have excessive contact with their mothers."

He Jiaojiao was stunned and quickly grabbed Chi Yan's hand, "What do you mean?"

It turns out there was a female snake that once adored a young snake, spending all its time with it. So much so that when the young snake grew up, it killed its father, hoping to replace him and join its mother. The female eventually broke down and fought back, only to be killed by the stubborn young snake. Since then, newborn snakes have typically been thrown out of the house and never allowed near the female, fearing another tragedy.

After hearing this story, He Jiaojiao was stunned.

Yes, how could she forget that snakes are cold-blooded animals!

In the animal world, the strong prey on the weak, and for them, if a cub can defeat its father, it is a matter of pride. However, this is only possible if the cub does not threaten the female.

The little snake was obviously going for He Jiaojiao just now, so it's no wonder that Mo Ran was so alert.

"But...he is still my cub!"

He Jiaojiao's voice faded away. In fact, she was not sure, but the little snake cub was her first child after all. How could she help but care about him?

"You can talk to Mo Ran. Appropriate contact should still be possible."

Chi Yan sighed slightly. He could understand He Jiaojiao, but that didn't mean he agreed with He Jiaojiao's approach.

He Jiaojiao nodded, took a few deep breaths, and then stood up and walked towards the basement. But before she could go down, Mo Ran had already come up.

"Jiaojiao..."

Mo Ran looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. He didn't know how to explain to He Jiaojiao, but he was really scared.

"sorry!"

The sudden apology made Mo Ran look up suddenly. He looked at He Jiaojiao in disbelief. He never thought that she would apologize first.

"It's my fault. I didn't explain it to you clearly. It's not your fault." Mo Ran said, hugging He Jiaojiao into his arms.

Seeing this, Chi Yan calmly left the cave and gave the space to the two of them.

After calming down, Mo Ran carried Jiaojiao to the side and sat down. This was the first time he had come up since hatching the egg. When they first moved in, the house was empty, and he was worried Ziyi wouldn't be able to take good care of Jiaojiao. Now it seemed Ziyi was doing a great job. At least the house was cozy and Jiaojiao was well taken care of.

"Would a snake cub really kill its father just to grab the attention of a female?"

After hesitating for a long time, He Jiaojiao asked.

Mo Ran was surprised, but thinking that Chi Yan must have explained it for him, he smiled slightly and gently held He Jiaojiao's small hand.

"That depends on whether they have the ability. If they do, I'll be very happy."

"Absolutely not!" He Jiaojiao directly held Mo Ran's hand and stared into his eyes. "I don't care what the heritage of you snake beastmen is like, but to me, you are my partner, you are the most important. Besides, the kid should also have my heritage. I believe he won't do such a thing."

He Jiaojiao thought about it and decided that if the snake cubs were really that cold-blooded, she would really consider giving up on them.

Mo Ran looked at this little female who was protecting him with all her heart and eyes, and his eyes suddenly turned red. He hugged He Jiaojiao and buried his face in her neck. After a long while, he nodded and responded softly.

"Let's go, let's go down and see the cub."

He Jiaojiao grabbed Mo Ran's hand and stood up, her eyes filled with determination to win.

Mo Ran looked at He Jiaojiao gently, nodded and picked her up.

When they arrived in the basement, the three snake cubs had already hatched and were quietly coiled in the grass nest. When they heard the noise, they all raised their heads.

When the three snake cubs saw He Jiaojiao, they subconsciously wanted to swim towards her, but they were scared away by Mo Ran's cold eyes.

He Jiaojiao glanced at Mo Ran with a stern look, then walked over and squatted down. Looking at the three little snakes, He Jiaojiao was surprised to find that she wasn't afraid at all, but instead found them very cute.

He Jiaojiao stretched out a finger, tapped one of the heads, and said gently, "I am your mother!"

The three little snakes squeezed together, all wanting to touch their mother's fingers with their heads. One of them was so brave that he even stuck out his tongue and licked He Jiaojiao's fingers.

The itchy touch made He Jiaojiao feel like her heart was about to melt.

"Which one of them is the eldest, the second and the third?"

He Jiaojiao stared at the three almost identical little snakes, feeling a little puzzled. It felt just like the triplets in her previous life. Would she be unable to tell them apart then?

Mo Ran squatted down and pointed at the one on the left, "This is the first one to come out, and the one in the middle is the last one to come out."

He Jiaojiao said "oh" and swapped the positions of the middle one with the one on the right.

Mo Ran looked at He Jiaojiao suspiciously. He had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to ask.

Suddenly, the boss raised his head and hissed at Mo Ran a few times, as if saying something. He Jiaojiao didn't understand snake language, so she turned around and looked at Mo Ran for help.

"The kids know you're their mother!" Mo Ran explained stiffly. He thought the situation he was worried about wouldn't happen. At least the kids knew He Jiaojiao was their mother, so they wouldn't have any other thoughts about her.

In the past, the day a snake cub broke out of its shell was the day it would leave its parents. Mo Ran was also thrown out of the house by his parents as soon as he broke out of his shell. He also went through untold hardships before he finally grew up.

"But Jiaojiao!" Mo Ran still wanted to fight for it. "Snake cubs should live and train on their own after hatching. Even if you want to keep them by your side for a while, that's fine. Once they can hunt on their own, you can let them out, okay?"

Mo Ran knew that He Jiaojiao was reluctant to part with her cubs, but doting on them like this wouldn't do them any good. If they didn't have enough skills, they wouldn't be able to survive in this world of beasts.

"But......"

He Jiaojiao couldn't bear the thought of such a small cub being released to live on its own, but she also knew that this was the law of survival in the animal world.

"I don't want to talk about this anymore. Let's discuss it later, okay?"

Helplessly, He Jiaojiao could only take a step back and say.

It was impossible for He Jiaojiao to accept all this at once. Mo Ran couldn't bear to hurt He Jiaojiao's feelings, so he planned to find a chance to tell her more about the snake beastmen so that she would be mentally prepared.
