Seeing that Feng Wu was on the verge of crying, Feng Xun said in a hurry, “Alright, alright. I believe you. You’re really here for the cub. It’s hungry.”
That sounded so perfunctory that she would rather he say nothing at all…
Feng Wu looked away and felt even more like crying…
Jun Linyuan gave a wave of his long arm and the fist-sized luminous pearls in his room lit up.
His voice was reserved and cold. “Come in.”
Go in? Feng Wu felt so embarrassed and jittery at the sight of Jun Linyuan alone; the last thing she wanted to do now was to go into his room.
While Feng Wu was dilly-dallying outside, Feng Xun went up to her, taking the cub in one hand and pushing her from behind with the other. “Let’s go. Jun Rex is having its milk inside and the cub can share its meal. I won’t have to make an extra bowl this way.”
Feng Wu instinctively tried to stay away from Jun Linyuan, but she then realized that the cub would need feeding every day from now on and she couldn’t come to Jun Linyuan every day. That way, it would only confirm the rumour that she wouldn’t leave Jun Linyuan alone.
Hence, Feng Wu nodded, then followed Feng Xun in.
Jun Linyuan fixed his eagle-like eyes on her from a few steps away without saying anything, which made Feng Wu rather uneasy. She avoided Jun Linyuan’s gaze involuntarily and her eyes began to dart around the room, which seemed to ease her embarrassment.
The cub had a very sharp nose. It ran to a corner as soon as it set foot inside.
In that corner was an exquisite and richly decorated basket, padded with soft cotton. The cub’s big brother was lying inside.
Compared with the lively, gamboling cub, its brother was much more reserved. It had the look of a young king and the intact “王” on its forehead gave it a very stately appearance.
In front of it was a white porcelain bowl with some translucent liquid inside. Feng Wu couldn’t tell what it was, but she could detect a high concentration of spiritual essence in it.
The cub rushed over, buried its face in the bowl, and gulped down the liquid.
Its brother’s eyes widened a little and it looked displeased. Sticking out a front paw, it poked the cub in the forehead.
Thud —
Poor little cub. It rolled back.
However, the little thing cared for nothing but its food. Quickly scrambling to its feet, it rushed over to the bowl again and took another gulp.
Its brother frowned and poked it in the forehead again.
Thud —
The cub rolled back again…
Despite the possible violence involved in this interaction, there was something quite affectionate about it.
Seeing that the big brother was winning the fight, Feng Xun was elated. “Look, our Jun Rex is such a natural ruler. It was only born yesterday and it knows how to fight already. Haha! That’s awesome!”
“Jun Rex?” Feng Wu moved closer to Feng Xun and feigned an interested tone.
Feng Wu deliberately ignored Jun Linyuan’s gaze, as if all her attention was on Feng Xun and the cubs.
Feng Xun knew little about what was going on in Feng Wu’s head. Resting his hands on his waist, he guffawed. “That’s right, our cub is called Jun Rex. Isn’t that a great name?”
Feng Wu was speechless.
“Why do you look like that? Do you not like it?” Feng Xun looked at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu gave him a look of distaste. “What kind of goofy name is that? Feng Xun, I bet it was your idea. Only a goofball like you could come up with such a name.”
