Helplessly, he pulled his younger brother away!
This kid actually refused to leave.
Just now, he had already walked away, yet his brother was still standing there foolishly, staring at Si Lu.
As his older brother, he was truly at a loss.
Forget it, forget it.
He could only drag Kano away.
Luckily, this guy was still obedient.
Once pulled away, he followed his older brother without resistance.
"Do you like Si Lu?" Kai looked at his younger brother and asked.
Kano was stunned for a moment, his body stiffening.
Like?
Did he like Si Lu?
He didn't know either!
He just wanted to look at Si Lu a little longer.
As for whether he liked her or not, he truly had no idea.
He turned his head, his gaze filled with confusion as he looked at his older brother.
Kai immediately understood.
His younger brother didn't even know what liking someone meant.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have shown such an expression.
But still, wanting to become Si Lu's mate wouldn't be easy.
That little female already had several strong beastmen by her side.
Moreover, his little brother was introverted and not good at expressing himself—who knew if he could even stand a chance…
Honestly, he was a bit worried.
And most importantly, Si Lu had to like his brother back!
This foolish younger brother wouldn't even know how to talk to a female, let alone court one—this probably wouldn't work.
Not to mention, his younger brother himself wasn't even sure if he liked her or not.
"I'm going to ask you some questions, and you need to answer them, okay?" Kai said seriously, looking at his younger brother.
Kano nodded obediently.
Although he didn't know what his brother wanted to ask, he trusted him completely.
He would answer properly.
"Do you want to stay by Si Lu's side?" Kai asked,"
Kano thought for a moment, then obediently nodded, looking at his older brother.
"Do you like watching her from a distance?" Kai continued.
"Yes." Kano nodded immediately, not even needing to think.
"Then let me ask you one last question. If that little female and her mates decide to leave the tribe and return to the big forest, would you want to go with them?" Kai asked.
"Don't rush your answer. Think about it carefully and tell me later. Let's go!" Kai patted his younger brother's shoulder.
Seeing the confusion on his brother's face, he already had a vague guess.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Everyone was busy tidying up the cave.
Bai Di took out a clean beast skin and spread it over a stone, helping Si Lu sit down.
Hei Yao went deeper into the cave, using his fire attribute to thoroughly dry the space.
He remembered that the little female was very afraid of bugs and had said before that drying out the cave with fire would also kill any unseen harmful creatures.
So, to give the little female a comfortable environment, he naturally had to do it.
Besides, it was an easy task for him!
Soon, the cave, which had been slightly damp, was completely dried out, and the musty smell disappeared, leaving behind a warm, pleasant atmosphere.
Even the unseen bacteria were probably killed.
Bai Di took out some pots, bowls, and utensils, placing them all neatly in a corner.
Some gathered straw to make bedding, while others continued organizing things.
Si Lu sat on the rock, watching them work.
Watching them so earnestly busy themselves gave her a deep sense of security.
How wonderful!
They were really here for her!
As Si Lu snacked on dried shrimp, she continued to watch them.
Before long, the cave was fully prepared.
"Lu Lu, we're all done! This cave is quite spacious. Even after putting all our belongings in, we can still shift into our beast forms, and there's still plenty of space left," Bai Di said with a bright smile.
He looked very happy.
Indeed, the cave was huge!
"Really? Let me see!" Si Lu said curiously.
Bai Di immediately helped her up and led her deeper inside.
As soon as she stepped in, she could smell the dry, warm air.
No need to guess—this was definitely Hei Yao's work.
So thoughtful.
He remembered every little thing she said.
Then she saw Bai Di's neatly arranged household items—so meticulous and well-organized! Truly a homemaker!
Cheng Mo had already laid out a proper bed.
Nansi had swept the floors spotlessly clean.
The big tiger had stacked firewood in a neat pile.
Each of them was so capable!
She was deeply moved.
She was so lucky to have them!
Si Lu sighed emotionally.
She didn't even need to lift a finger—they did everything for her.
Even if she tried to do it herself, she probably wouldn't do as well as they did.
"Lu Lu, are you tired? Do you want to rest on the prepared beast skin bed?" Cheng Mo asked with concern.
"Okay, I am a little sleepy… But you guys are amazing! You cleaned up so fast!" Si Lu praised.
Their speed was incredible.
In just ten minutes, everything was settled.
"It's because we didn't want to keep you waiting," Nansi said gently.
"Aww, my dear mates, thank you for all your hard work!" Si Lu giggled and gave each of them a kiss on the cheek.
One by one, they all beamed with joy.
"Alright, if you're tired, rest for a while. Tonight, we're going to the square. Kai said they're hosting a big gathering with roasted meat and plenty of food," Cheng Mo said as he stroked her hair.
"Eh? Why didn't I hear about this before?" Si Lu asked, puzzled.
She didn't recall hearing about any event.
"You were too focused on other things. He told me separately," Cheng Mo explained.
"Ohh, I see!" Si Lu nodded.
Cheng Mo carried her over to the straw bed, laying her down gently and covering her with a clean beast skin.
Then he sat beside her, keeping watch.
"Sleep well; we're all here," he said softly, caressing her cheek.
Si Lu closed her eyes, hugging Cheng Mo's arm as she drifted off.
It didn't take long before she fell into a deep sleep.
She was indeed tired.
Not only that, but she was feeling sleepier lately.
The others sensed that she was asleep and quietly got up. Some left to gather supplies.
In the end, only Nansi remained to keep watch over Si Lu.
After all, there was still a lot they needed to prepare.
Since they would be staying in the Crocodile Tribe for a while—at least until Si Lu gave birth and fully recovered—they needed to make proper arrangements.
This place was perfect for the little female to give birth.
The day was drawing closer, and they couldn't risk taking her on any more adventures.
