Chapter 213: Surrounded By Furballs
Qin Wanwan held Xiao Hei’s big head, rubbing her forehead against it.
“Xiao Hei is so well-behaved, so beautiful, and so imposing!”
“Hiss~”
Xiao Hei said he also really missed Little Qilin.
A fluffy, snow-white little ball sat in the middle of a large coiled black snake, creating a wild beauty reminiscent of a beautiful woman and a beast.
The three wolves behind, and Little Red, also couldn’t be outdone and crowded over to vie for affection.
Qin Wanwan couldn’t pet them all with her two small hands, and they were all crowded together.
Finally, she, so small, was surrounded.
“Daddy, Daddy save…”
Little Fatty stretched out an arm, struggling to call for help.
Xie Chong squeezed in and scooped her out.
Qin Wanwan spat twice, trying to spit out the fur in her mouth: “Xiaofeng, you’re shedding!”
The three wolves looked innocent; it wasn’t their intention.
Xie Chong helped her clean the fur from her mouth.
The father and daughter went into the house, followed by a group of animals, looking quite imposing.
“Miss!”
Seeing Qin Wanwan return, Lu He was extremely happy.
And Aunt Zhang.
Qin Wanwan happily greeted them as well.
Aside from those two servants, the General’s Mansion had not bought anyone else since.
Everything in the mansion was managed by the two of them, and the plants, fruit trees, etc., were all very well cared for.
In the few months since she’d been away, the General’s Mansion had changed quite a bit.
For example, the peach tree at the doorway was now taller than a person, and there was lush, fragrant pasture grass.
The grapevine she had planted in the courtyard had also grown a lot. Xie Chong had built a trellis, and the grapevine had climbed up it, now covering the entire structure. They should be able to eat grapes this year.
The backyard had changed the most, with an entire wall of rose flowers on the surrounding wall.
Lu He’s face was full of smiles: “Miss Wanwan, the flowers and grapevines you planted, and so on, have all grown very quickly. I’ve fertilized them according to your instructions, and watered them with pasture grass water, and they’ve all grown very well.”
It was evident; the rose flowers had grown exceptionally luxuriantly and were currently bearing buds, though they hadn’t bloomed yet.
Qin Wanwan ran over and touched the rose flower.
In reality, she had channeled spiritual energy to water it.
The open space in the backyard was now planted with pasture grass, along with a few fruit trees, and only a small area had been reclaimed to grow some vegetables.
They hadn’t planted any grain there anymore.
There was plenty of land here, and they didn’t lack this small plot in the General’s Mansion’s backyard to grow grain.
The pasture grass was growing very well, and the red horse was leisurely grazing in the grass.
Suddenly, there was a rustling in the grass, and then several cats emerged.
They were carrying grasshoppers, mice, or little rabbits in their mouths.
They resembled leopard cats, their fur was very clean, and their eyes were sharp with a hint of wildness.
“Meow?”
The cat carrying the grasshopper swallowed it in two bites and then tilted its little head to look at Qin Wanwan.
Then it meowed and ran towards her, quickly approaching her feet, rubbing against her, and circling around, meowing in a high-pitched voice.
The other cats also ran over.
Although the high-pitched meows were pleasant, there were too many of them, and it became a bit noisy.
Qin Wanwan squatted down to pet one, then another.
“Good boy, don’t meow anymore, don’t meow.”
The kittens were very obedient and sat obediently in front of her without meowing, just looking at her with their big eyes.
Lu He was surprised: “They were still small when you left, Miss. I didn’t expect them to still remember you.”
Keke flew over with a proud tone: “Perhaps it’s not that they remember, but that Cub is particularly liked by animals, and these cats all like her very much.”
After all, Cub was Little Qilin!
“Meow~”
The mother cat returned, carrying a large rat in her mouth.
“Meow meow~”
The kittens all gathered around.
The mother cat pushed aside her own cub and approached Qin Wanwan, dropping the large rat at her feet.
“Meow meow meow…”
Why did you come back so late? I brought you prey to eat.
Qin Wanwan was not afraid of the dead rat.
“I don’t eat this.”
The mother cat licked her paw, and upon hearing this, meowed a few more times.
Then what do you like to eat? I’ll catch it for you.
This was treating Qin Wanwan as its own cub, and a particularly favored one at that.
Xie Chong and the others watched from not far away. Seeing Qin Wanwan squatting among the fluffy balls, the sight of the few adorable little ones softened their hearts, and smiles appeared on their faces unconsciously.
Xie Chong was fine, watching his daughter with a slight smile on her lips.
Lu He and Aunt Zhang had the whole time been showing auntie smiles.
It was too cute, this scene was too heartwarming, it was endlessly watchable.
While Qin Wanwan was using a small comb to groom the fluffy balls in the house, Shang Wuyang returned.
As soon as he returned, he found Xie Chong and gave him a hidden weapon.
Xie Chong dodged it agilely.
“What are you doing?”
He frowned.
Shang Wuyang smiled brightly, but his tone was very dangerous.
“You still ask me what I’m doing? You left me behind, snatched the cub and the horse, and ran off. You still ask me what I’m doing?”
Xie Chong felt no guilt: “Aren’t you back? The military camp isn’t out of horses.”
Shang Wuyang was amused by his anger, and then several more hidden weapons flew over.
Xie Chong was still holding pastries for Qin Wanwan, and almost dropped them while dodging.
“That’s enough…”
Shang Wuyang: “Heh!”
“Daddy, what are you doing?”
The little milk ball quietly peeked its fluffy head in.
The two looked at her.
They instantly became nonchalant.
Shang Wuyang: “Nothing, just playing with your Daddy Xie.”
The little one took small steps and ran in.
“Playing what? Can I join too?”
Shang Wuyang frowned, looking at her covered in fur: “Why so much fur?”
Qin Wanwan held her head high, quite proud: “I was grooming Wolf Xiaofeng and the others, I even brushed off a huge ball of fur.”
She raised her little arm and stood on tiptoe to draw a super large circle.
Shang Wuyang picked her up and patted her clothes.
“So much fur, Xie Chong, don’t you ever groom the dogs at home?”
Xie Chong: “No time.”
Qin Wanwan corrected in a milky voice: “Daddy isn’t a dog, he’s a wolf, a super fierce wolf, Wanwan raised such a big one.”
“Go see Xiao Hei, he’s super big too.”
Shang Wuyang gave a perfunctory “mm-hmm.”
“Daddy, where’s Qin Xiaoe?”
Xie Chong: “The bully is out grazing.”
Qin Wanwan tilted her head, her expression confused: “Ah? Why is he called the bully?”
Xie Chong picked her up to eat: “Everyone calls him that now.”
Lu He happened to overhear the explanation: “Xiaoe likes to fight too much. Not only does he fight with the cats and dogs in our Shahe City, but he also fights with cattle and sheep and horses. When he was at the military camp, he fought with the warhorses, chasing them, and he’s very fierce, so over time everyone started calling him the bully.”
Xie Chong placed her on a nearby chair: “He now manages not only chickens, ducks, and geese, but also cattle and sheep and horses.”
Qin Wanwan’s small mouth opened wide: “Xiaoe is that powerful now?”
Xie Chong nodded and gave her a chicken leg.
The little one let out a “woof” and took a bite.
“Delicious, Aunt Zhang’s cooking is still so good.”
Aunt Zhang smiled very happily on the side.
“If you like it, eat more. I’ve also been experimenting with some pastry recipes, and I’ll make them for you slowly in the future.”
