"Brother, I think that dumb female has really changed. She really won't abandon us again, right?"
Qiao Ang snorted. "Who knows if she's just tricking us now."
Qiao Qiao grew dejected again at Qiao Ang's words.
They always felt that Qiao Xixi's recent change was like an illusory bubble, ready to pop at any moment.
This stemmed from all of Qiao Xixi's past misdeeds, which had left the cubs with no sense of security whatsoever.
After Jin Ling returned with firewood, Qiao Xixi started a fire to heat up the roasted meat.
Smelling the aroma of the roast meat, the cubs temporarily cast all their worries aside and began to eat with gusto.
After they had eaten their fill, Jin Ling walked to the mouth of the ice cave and sat down. Looking back at Qiao Xixi, he said, "Get some rest. We have to be on our way early tomorrow."
Qiao Xixi nodded. After tucking the cubs in with a beast-hide blanket, she lay down beside them.
