Chapter 1114: Chapter 357: Thieves, Turn for the Better

This snow disaster affected not only millions of common people but also endangered the lives of countless animals. As the snow accumulated day by day, birds could not find seeds or insects, grazing animals could not find grass roots or moss, and predators found hunting increasingly difficult... Many animals starved or froze to death in the heavy snowfall.

As the former leader of a wolf pack, Dabai had an indelible bond with his clan. Although he was now living with Mo Yan, he couldn’t ignore the plight of his pack. This time, several of the old and infirm wolves in his pack had died from the cold and hunger, and more than ten wolf cubs that had not yet matured also perished.

The cubs carry the hope of an entire clan, and their death is a great loss to any species. This time, Dabai brought back all the cubs from his clan that could not hunt, a total of thirteen.

Including the various tiger cubs, wolf cubs, and even bear cubs that had been brought back previously by the four beasts, the Mo Family now had twenty-five young predators.

The only one who had never brought a cub home was Mao Tuan, who had grown up with Mo Yan from a young age and was not a social animal. Having no contact with the tigers in the mountains, it felt no kinship with its own kind.

While the other four beasts went into the mountains to deliver food every day, Mao Tuan would nestle at home, either eagerly following Mo Yan in and out or amusing itself by rolling in the snow.

As for the dozens of birds previously trained, they also had good companions. So, Mo Yan often prepared small sacks for them, filled with millet, for them to take to their friends. She also placed several bowls in the corner of the wall every day, similarly filled with millet or leftover food, where birds often lined up along the yard wall begging for food.

With so many cute little creatures at home, nobody was more delighted than Zhenzhen and the others. Because of their relationship with Mao Tuan and Little Flower, they were filled with love for these little ones. They would personally feed the cubs every day before reluctantly leaving at Mo Yan’s urging.

The cubs were placed in an unoccupied room in the front yard, their sleeping area covered with dry straw and used quilts, and with two vigorously burning charcoal braziers, so even without snuggling in their parents’ embrace, they wouldn’t feel cold.

"It’s so fun, this little bear cub is too cute."

Watching the bear cub coming over slowly, clinging to her arm with its front paws begging for meat, Zhenzhen found it irresistibly adorable. She reached out her other hand to gently touch the bear cub’s ears and, upon seeing it asking for more caresses, she liked it even more.

"The little bear is cute, but is this little tiger pretty?" On the other side, Shengsheng struggled to hold a tiger cub, imitating how Mo Yan treated Mao Tuan and pinching the little tiger’s ears.

The little tiger was not even a month old yet, but it already weighed about seven or eight pounds. It did not resist being held by Shengsheng but didn’t quite fancy having its ears touched, meowing discontentedly.

"You two, stop touching them randomly, be careful not to get scratched." Yun Zhao looked at his brother and sister, worried sick, fearing that the cubs might harm them without knowing their own strength.

Mo Yan couldn’t stand it anymore and grabbed one: "Alright, alright, they’re full now. Put them down, they need to sleep to grow fast."

These little ones might be cute, but if they turned on you, their sharp teeth and claws could also draw blood.

Mo Yan had not given these cubs Spirit Spring Water because they would one day return to the wild, and she did not want them to grow too attached to the human world like Mao Tuan. It would be difficult for both the cubs and her to part ways when the time came, and such attachment was detrimental to their growth—they were the future hope of their clans.

In order to continue feeding them tomorrow, Zhenzhen and Shengsheng didn’t dare to defy Mo Yan’s words and obediently put down the bear and tiger cubs. Seeing the two cubs running back to their nest to sleep deeply, they were somewhat disappointed. They had always wanted a companion as obedient and affectionate as Mao Tuan.

Mo Yan watched, amused, yet she wouldn’t keep the bear and tiger cubs for them to live with like Mao Tuan did.

After closing the door, the four siblings walked through the yard toward the main hall when the bells under the eaves started to ring. Mo Yan told her younger siblings to go ahead while she went to open the door, following the snow-free corridor.
