Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

There were two white-spotted tigers living in the cave. Here, on the left was the spring water, and on the right was a grassland. The mountain wall was covered in moss. In front of them was a large forest. Occasionally, the roars of wild beasts came from the depths of the forest. The environment was especially good.

The two white-spotted tigers had lived in this paradise for five years.

Today, they welcomed their third litter of babies, but what was heart-wrenching was that the tigress was having a difficult labor.

The painful growls made one’s heart ache.

Chu Qingzhi walked to the front of the cave and happened to see the tiger rubbing the female tiger with its head. There were tears in its big tiger eyes, and the female tiger’s body was already in a pool of blood and on the verge of death.

When the tiger saw Chu Qingzhi, it immediately walked towards her. It bit her clothes and dragged her to the tigress’s side, signaling Chu Qingzhi to save the tigress.

When Chu Qingzhi saw this scene, she felt a lump in her throat. She touched the tiger’s head and squatted down to save the tigress.

Chu Qingning, Yuan Hongjun, and Bao Linjiang were worried about Chu Qingzhi and followed her to the cave.

Ning Yuting and Tong Yujie followed closely behind.

Chu Qingzhi knelt on one knee and pressed one hand on the tigress’ stomach. At the same time, the tigress’ stomach kept bumping, as if the tiger cubs inside were moving. Chu Qingzhi was repositioning the tiger cubs. As long as the tiger cubs’ head was facing outwards, the labor could go smoothly.

Under Chu Qingzhi’s help, the tigress’s pain was relieved and it was not as afraid.

The tiger lay beside the tigress and gently licked its head to comfort it.

Suddenly, the tigress tensed up and whimpered. A moment later, a furry ball fell out of its body.

Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang wanted to help.

Chu Qingzhi hurriedly said, “Don’t move. The tigress doesn’t recognize you and will think that you’re going to snatch its cubs and bite you.”

The two of them hurriedly stopped in their tracks, and their understanding of their master’s power deepened.

Immediately after, another little tiger cub came out.

Chu Qingzhi touched the tigress’ stomach. There were more cubs inside. She secretly injected spiritual power into the tigress’ body to help it recover from its injuries. Otherwise, the tigress would definitely be in danger.

After stabilizing the tigress’s condition, Chu Qingzhi went to help the two tiger cubs.

The little tiger cubs were very weak, but they would recover after a day or two.

After taking care of the two tiger cubs and placing them in the hay at the side, Chu Qingzhi carried the tigress to the hay.

The tiger hurriedly lay down beside the tigress and licked its fur. It looked like it loved the tigress very much.

Looking at the scene, the few of them were very touched. It was touching that two tigers could love each other so deeply!

Chu Qingzhi cleaned up the blood and said to the tiger, “I’m leaving. Take good care of the three of them.”

The tiger glanced at Chu Qingzhi and let out a low roar, as if to express its gratitude.

Chu Qingzhi smiled and left the cave.

“Thud…”

When Chu Qingzhi and the others were more than ten meters away, the sound of something heavy falling to the ground came from behind. This caused them to turn around.

The tiger’s figure flashed.

“What is it doing?”

They saw the tiger come out with the cub in its mouth and threw the cub away…

There was another thud.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Yuan Hongjun was stunned. “Master, why did Tiger Father throw away its sons?”

Chu Qingzhi was also very confused.

“Wait for me here. I’ll go take a look.” She walked towards the place where the two tiger cubs had been thrown.

The two tiger cubs whined and crawled slowly on the ground. Their bodies were covered in mud, and their eyes were half-open. They looked extremely pitiful.

Chu Qingzhi picked them up and sent them back into the cave. “You’re their father. How can you throw them away? You can’t. Otherwise, they’ll die.”

As she spoke, she placed the little tiger cubs beside the tiger father.

After watching for a while, she left the cave.

Unexpectedly, she had just taken a few steps when the tiger came out with the little tiger cubs in its mouth and threw them…

Chu Qingzhi was speechless.

Yuan Hongjun walked over, full of confusion. “Master, what’s wrong with Tiger Father?”

Chu Qingzhi turned to look at the cave. “I guess it’s because the tiger loves the tigress very much. Just now, the tiger was frightened to see the tigress almost dying. It blamed all of this on the little tiger cubs, so it wanted to throw them away.”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Bao Linjiang walked up to Chu Qingzhi. “Master, what should we do now?”

Chu Qingzhi was silent for a moment. “Take the little tiger cubs away. Otherwise, they will definitely die.” They would either be eaten by other wild beasts or starve to death.

“Master, can you give me the little tiger cub?” Bao Linjiang’s eyes were shining like gems.

Yuan Hongjun quickly said, “Master, I want one too.”

Chu Qingzhi turned around and looked in the direction of the cave. “Bring them back. One for each of you. Raise them well and don’t abuse them.”

Bao Linjiang quickly said, “Master, what are you talking about? We can’t wait to pamper them. How can we abuse them?”

Yuan Hongjun also said, “That’s right. I’ll raise it to be majestic. In the future, I’ll walk it on the streets of the capital. How cool will that be?”

Chu Qingzhi went to pick up the two tiger cubs and placed them in the basket. Then, she followed the smell and found the hops she had been looking for.

It was a very lush tree. The leaves were like mulberry leaves, and the petals were wrapped together. The flower shape was very similar to mulberries. They were green and hung on the branches.

Chu Qingzhi pointed at the tree, her pleasant voice filled with joy. “That’s the hops I’m looking for.”

Yuan Hongjun put down the basket on his back and took out a woodcutter to sharpen it. “Master, how many do you want?”

Chu Qingzhi walked towards the hop tree. “A basketful will do.”

Everyone started to pick hops. Soon, the basket was filled.

“Let’s go home.”

“Ok.”

Chu Qingzhi brought everyone out of the mountain through a shortcut. They returned to the village in an hour.

However, the house was very chaotic.

A sobbing voice came from the crowd. “Third Sister, please save us, save us!”

Hearing the voice from afar, Chu Qingzhi frowned slightly and quickened her pace home.

The others quickly followed her..
