Hede didn’t continue to chide Kanwu. With one arm carrying Chixuan, he patted Kanwu’s shoulder with the other. “I believe you.”


  At that, Hede walked before Gu Mengmeng and handed Chixuan over to her. Thereafter, he and Jialue carried that leopard towards the water source to clean their prey.

  Kanwu went over to Burke and looked up at him. “Teacher, let’s go to. The smell of blood here is too strong and will attract other wild animals.”


  Moreover, mother didn’t like the scent of blood.

  Burke nodded and looked at Gu Mengmeng.

  Gu Mengmeng was taken aback. She realized Burke wanted her to make the decision on where to go next.

  Heh, females held an exalted status. As long as a female was present, the males had no right to even decide on where to eat.

  Gu Mengmeng placed her hand on Kanwu’s shoulder and pulled him into her arms. “Let’s go that way. On the way here, I noticed a patch of grass suitable for a picnic.”


  Burke nodded with a smile and quietly followed Gu Mengmeng. He was in a blissful stupor, enjoying a scene that felt too good to be true. He dared not even speak, fearing that he would spoil that feeling.

  The fresh green grass patch had one feeling happy and carefree.

  Gu Mengmeng stretched out lazily before sitting down. Kanwu kept by her side, glancing at her now and then with his clear, blue eyes. He couldn’t help feeling very happy and contented with her earlier praise of him.

  Burke sat an arm’s length away from Gu Mengmeng, stealing glimpses of her from the corner of his eye. His gaze was full of warmth as he observed the mother and son enjoying time together.

  He never knew that females could be like that.

  Hede and Jialue returned with a piece of leopard skin and multiple messy pieces of meat.

  Gu Mengmeng opened her arms with a smile to welcome her two sons.

  Jialue leaped into Gu Mengmeng’s embrace and gazed at her with a pair of deep amber-colored eyes. “Mother, look, Hede and I tanned this animal hide.”


  Gu Mengmeng took the piece of skin over for a look…… erm…… it couldn’t really be used.

  Nonetheless, Gu Mengmeng gave a gentle smile. “Mm, not bad. I think I can use it as a tablecloth or door screen. What do you think?”


  Jialue shook his head. “No, I want to keep it for the winter days, then mother can use it as a base for her bed.”


  “Bed…… that’s also fine. But why only as the base?” Gu Mengmeng tilted her head in question.

  Jialue chuckled. “Leopard skin is not the best nor the softest, and will be uncomfortable in direct contact with skin. So put it at the base to provide a warming effect. We will be happy enough then.”


  Gu Mengmeng was extremely touched and kissed her son. “Okay, when the time comes, we will place this skin at the base and sleep in that bed together, alright?”


  Jialue blushed before taking a step back. “Mother, we are already grown ups and cannot sleep with you on the same bed again. You also know that your males…… are quite crazy. They might bite us to death.”


  Gu Mengmeng held her cheek. Her son was of the opinion that her males were mental cases, what should she do? How despairing. Sighing, Gu Mengmeng said, “That won’t happen. They will not do anything to hurt me. So don’t worry, okay?”


  Jialue kissed Gu Mengmeng with a smile. “We will also not do anything that will cause trouble for mother. That is why we will learn to be independent and not give your males an excuse to go crazy.”
