After

On a warm morning in the sun, Su Ce sat on a wooden chair in a courtyard, holding soft fabric in his hands and sewing with bone needles.

 A few years ago, Su Ce would never have imagined that one day he would sew small clothes for his children with his own hands…as a mother.

 As he sewed, his eyes fell gently on the children.

 A small and tender child stood in a wooden circle that could only accommodate him alone, holding the sides with both hands, standing there a little unsteadily, but quietly.

 Outside the wooden circle where the little child was, three slightly larger lion cubs were gently leaning against the wooden circle with their heads. It wasn’t until the child inside patted the edge of the wood with his little hands that they jumped up and quickly licked the child’s face, then turned around and ran away.

 It has been half a year since senior gave birth to egg.

 No one expected that what emerged from the snake egg was not a small snake – not a male, but a cute little female.

 The cubs in Su Ce’s family were very curious about the little female and always liked to hang around him. Later, considering the children, the two heads of the family, Tan Tu and Ah Er Sen, decided to connect the houses of the two families. That is to say, they cut down all the trees in the middle and build some independent houses, which are continuous and become an independent yard. In the meantime, Yang Han and Su Ce also made many suggestions, which were to circle the entire area with reference to the construction methods of courtyard houses on earth.

 Several people have thought about it. When the cubs grow up, they will have a partner, and there may be new members in the family in the future. Of course, the more houses, the better.

 Su Ce didn’t show it on the surface, but he was really happy in his heart.

 When their houses are connected, the two families can be said to have become one family. When more family members appear, the atmosphere in the yard will become more lively.

 After thinking about it, Su Ce’s eyes returned to the children.

 His three little cubs are now two years old. They are already very skilled in the ability to shape-shift and are very naughty. They often turn into children and run around, and when they are chased, they suddenly turn into little lions and scurry away faster. It’s really hard not to laugh or cry, but I can’t bear to blame them.

 The little female of Yang Han’s family now has her own name – named “Wuya” by Ah Er Sen, which means “precious” in the orc language.

 Indeed, Xiao Wuya is now the most precious treasure to Su Ce and his family.

 As a little female, it is really much more difficult than when raising lion cubs.

 For example, in the first two months, he couldn’t even go out because I was afraid that if he caught a chill, he would immediately fall ill or even die.  And what Little Wuya eats is not simply directly squeezed animal milk, but the milk must be boiled first, and then diluted to a certain level before it can be fed slowly – and Little Wuya’s appetite is really too small. Just like other fragile little females.

 In order to raise little Wuya well, Yang Han and Su Ce even visited several families in the tribe who had experience in raising female cubs, and carefully asked about matters that need to be paid attention to. Ka Mai has no actual raising experience so he can’t help.

 Little Wuya is also very impressive. Although it is indeed more troublesome to feed than the three lion cubs, he has a very docile personality and is not naughty at all. When Yang Han feeds him, he eats obediently, and he acts coquettishly and always wants to be hugged. He’s also not like the lion cubs who roll around in dissatisfaction, making people feel sorry for him and love him.

 Su Ce also liked Xiao Wuya very much. In addition to his senior who loved Xiao Wuya like a treasure, he would also often come up with some healthy and delicious things for Xiao Wuya to try.  After giving a cute smile, I kissed his little face and thoroughly enjoyed the fun of raising a “daughter”.

 While he was thinking this, the movements in his hands did not stop.

 Regardless of whether they are male or female, the skin of the cubs is undoubtedly very delicate, and the female is the most delicate. In order to make them more comfortable, Su Ce obtained soft cloth woven from silk from the tribe’s females who were best at raising red silkworms and had the best craftsmanship, as well as some linen cloth that was softer than animal skins but rougher than silk cloth. He used linen to sew many small clothes for the little lions, and used silk cloth for little Wuya. Everything was just to make them more comfortable.

 Yang Han actually made efforts in this area, but unfortunately, he was far less meticulous and patient than Su Ce, so he was busy for a long time and it was just a waste of cloth. In the end, Su Ce was asked to do the tailoring work – this didn’t make him too embarrassed.

 Su Ce quickly made a small piece of clothing that was similar to a bellyband – for the three little lions. Even if they suddenly turned into animal forms, it would not fall off their bodies – anyway, it was tied!

 Then, he shouted, “Sky! Come here for a moment!”

 As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ce felt a flash of yellow light in front of his eyes, and three little lions appeared, squatting in a row in front of him, each with their heads tilted. How cute they are.

Su Ce sighed, grabbed two of them by the neck, picked them up and put them aside, and then said, “Fire, Earth, stop messing around.”

 Cute as they are, these little cubs really don’t make people worry at all.

 Because they look exactly the same, and the adults don’t remember who crawled out of Su Ce’s belly first, the three little lions all feel that they should be the boss, and they fight for this all year round, but they are always divided. No victory or defeat.

 But since the child is so old, he should always have a name? After arguing back and forth, Su Ce finally waved his hand and randomly arranged the three cubs in order, and then dyed the lion cubs’ fur with the mixed grass juice – even if they turned into human forms, the lion cubs’ fur would be different. One, two, or three strands of black hair make the difference.

 Of course, the one with only a bunch of black hair is Sky, the boss, and so on.

 Therefore, even if the lion cubs have exactly the same appearance, temperament and movements, Su Ce can tell them apart at a glance.

 As a result, the two cubs who were carried away lowered their heads in frustration, while the remaining one happily lifted up Su Ce’s calf.

 Feeling a little funny, Su Ce lifted Sky onto his knees and tied a bellyband on his belly. After Sky bared his teeth and smiled, he turned into a chubby little doll, sitting on Su Ce’s lap and shaking his little feet.

 Su Ce touched Skye’s head, “Do you like it?”

 “I like it!” Sky rubbed Su Ce’s palm and said with narrowed eyes, “Thank you, mother!”

 Su Ce’s mouth twitched.

 After several years, he still couldn’t get used to the word “mother” being applied to him. Even if he knew what was going on and admitted it, he still felt a little uncomfortable every time he heard it.

 Fire and Earth also started to circle around Su Ce. Little Wuya over there seemed to be attracted to his attention. He clapped his hands and shouted “Ahhh”. Sky heard this and jumped off Su Ce, stumbled to the outside of the wooden circle, grabbed Wuya’s little hand, and started saying “Ahhh” too…

 Su Ce first looked at the two children funny, then stretched out his hand and rubbed Fire and Earth’s little lion heads twice more.

 At this time, someone pushed the door in from the outside and smiled as soon as he opened his mouth, “Hey, Ah Ce, what are you doing? You are having a good time!”

 It was Yang Han who had just returned from picking some vegetables. He was holding a big dustpan in his hand, which contained many fresh and tender green vegetable leaves. After he came in, Su Ce saw two people following him.

 Ah Er Sen and Tan Tu walked in with two beasts on their shoulders. After taking a few steps to the side, they threw the prey into the corner of the yard.

 Today it was Ah Er Sen’s turn to deal with the prey, so Tan Tu quickly washed his hands, rushed over, kissed Su Ce on the forehead, and stared at it closely.

 Su Ce sighed and stood up. Tan Tu immediately sat down happily and hugged Su Ce into his arms. Fire and Earth looked up, jumped up on Tan Tu’s shoulders, licked his cheek, and then turned into plump children and jumped out to play with Little Wuya and Skye.  

 Yang Han waved to Su Ce and turned around to enter the kitchen. At this time, Ah Er Sen also finished processing a prey and carried the prepared pieces of meat into the kitchen.

 This meal will be cooked by Yang Han, who has improved his skills, with Ah Er Sen’s assistance. Tomorrow, it will be Su Ce and Tan Tu’s turn.

 Su Ce felt a big, furry, golden head buried in his shoulder, and felt very warm in his heart.

 Day by day, they are getting closer and closer, and the relationship between family members is getting closer and closer.

 In a few years, the children will grow up, and by then, they may have other things to worry about.

 But… Su Ce smiled slightly, he thought, they were happy.

T/N: That’s the end! It was such a fluffy and comedic ride. I need more orc novels!!!!
