This place looked like it hadn't been inhabited for a long time. The straw on the stone bed had been messed up by Wild Beasts, the walls were covered in cobwebs, and a few startled bats flew out.
There was no need for Xu Chi to stir up a cloud of dust. Si Shuo bit down on a Dust Cleaning Talisman, and with a single thought, it was as if a spring breeze swept through the entire cave, carrying all the dust, cobwebs, insects, and ants outside.
A faint, fresh scent of grass and trees filled the air. The straw was now dry, and Xu Chi laid two layers of Beast Skins over it. The cubs were the first to scramble on top, rolling around and jumping with joy.
This was, in a way, their first big trip away from home, and every one of them was bubbling with excitement.
"Father, Father!" Xuyou didn't say anything else, just tugged on Xu Chi's arm and chanted, exactly like Si Shuo did when she wanted something.
Yuanyuan followed his lead, hugging Ji Liang's arm and calling out as well.
