Why Do All the Beasts Want Me?

Chapter 21

Scars are a man's medals, but Little Polar Bear didn't want his little yellow to get bumped or bruised.

Fortunately, this plastic bucket was thick and resilient, and it wasn't damaged by Audiss's roughness.

Qiao Qixi held the bucket and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, his heart, which had been in his throat, immediately jumped back up as he noticed the atmosphere between Audiss and the single Bear Mama had become tense, he didn't know when.

Qiao Qixi was a bit confused; how did this situation change so rapidly?

Was it because Bear Mama had roared just now?

Seriously, Qiao Qixi sighed, they were both adult polar bears, and they both had children, couldn't they be more mature?

He just wondered if they could be more mature?

How could he say he was a contradiction himself? Qiao Qixi ran over… Oh, he first settled his little yellow, placing it outside the battle circle, and then he ran over.

On this side, Audiss and Bear Mama held their heads high, looking at each other, each emitting roars of varying frequencies from their throats, sounding very much like an argument.

In reality, it was a form of communication; Audiss was asserting his authority, warning Bear Mama not to repeat her previous action, or he would not be polite.

Bear Mama probably received his warning but also expressed, not to be outdone, that she would do her best to defend her own boundary, with no room for discussion.

This was, without a doubt, a provocation.

As powerful as Audiss was, if the female polar bear in front of him wasn't his mother, he might have already resorted to force.

The fact was, there was a blood relation between them, so besides low growls full of deterrence, Audiss truly wouldn't do anything for now.

However, just these deafening roars were enough to make one's eardrums vibrate, causing dizziness and chest tightness, and when two polar bears roared together, the effect was even more remarkable, like two large speakers turned on.

Qiao Qixi shivered and glanced at the small bear, finding that although it was hiding behind Bear Mama, its aura was very calm, as if it was accustomed to this.

Since the Little Polar Bear, who was a size smaller than himself, was as steady as an old dog, how could he have the nerve to tremble?

Qiao Qixi immediately redefined his role; he rubbed against Audiss, who was roaring at Bear Mama, letting out two delicate, oh no, soft cries, urging Audiss to let it go, that a lesson was enough.

Are you really going to argue with a single Bear Mama?

The small bear's coquettishness instantly drew Audiss's attention; he immediately stopped roaring at the mother bear and lowered his head to focus on the small bear that had just been roared at, his gentle, deep voice, as if from a different vocal cord, seamlessly transitioned, probably leaving the mother bear and cub opposite them stunned.

Not to mention, Qiao Qixi was already used to this; it would be strange if Audiss were fierce with him.

It's okay, it's okay, he licked and rubbed Audiss's handsome face.

“Mmm…” This action used to be effortless, but now, because half of his face was swollen, it hurt when he touched the swollen area.

When it hurt, he whimpered; when he whimpered, Audiss felt distressed; when Audiss felt distressed, he had no time to worry about Bear Mama and the bear sister.

Although this was not Qiao Qixi's original intention for whimpering, it unexpectedly achieved its goal, which could be considered different paths leading to the same destination, well done.

Bear Mama and the bear sister were indeed bewildered; the two polar bears stared blankly as Audiss licked the male Little Polar Bear next to him, his actions infinitely gentle, his loving voice barely suppressed—was this still the powerful, furious Male polar bear from just now?

It was unbelievable to the polar bears.

The explosive scene strangely dissipated, replaced by the warm scene before them.

Audiss comforted the Little Polar Bear whose face was swollen from a bee sting, using all his limited tenderness until the small bear no longer whimpered and cried in pain; relieved, he finally thought about the hunting plan again and led the small bear to continue walking forward.

After the danger just now, Qiao Qixi decided to carry the small bucket himself… because his face was swollen, holding the bucket would be uncomfortable, so carrying it in his mouth was better.

Before catching up with Audiss, he boldly glanced at Bear Mama and the cub again; it was a pity, if only they could communicate, he wanted to invite them to travel together.

This **-type Little Polar Bear, with a try-it-out mentality, suddenly babbled some bear-speak to Bear Mama and the bear sister, and then ran off.

In fact, even if Qiao Qixi hadn't done that, they would have still traveled together.

Bear Mama's destination was the same as Audiss's; they were both looking for a place to hunt, which was the goal of all polar bears, though their chosen directions might differ.

In this regard, they were truly mother and son; many of their behaviors indeed had traceable patterns.

Qiao Qixi looked back and saw that the single Bear Mama was still following, and he was happy about it.

Since the other party could coexist peacefully with Audiss, following them would largely avoid some dangers.

For the rest of the journey, two adults and two young, four polar bears, traveled together all the way.

The drone footage of the unusual negotiation process between two adult polar bears who met by chance inevitably sparked a little curiosity.

Why would Audiss be willing to travel with that mother bear?

Could that mother bear be another Alexander?

No, that should be impossible.

If one were to analyze and compare carefully, it would be found that Audiss treated that mother bear with only an indifferent, non-averse attitude.

He didn't even show the friendliness he had towards Alexander 1, so the mother bear couldn't be another Alexander.

There was another possibility, perhaps they were parent and child; people speculated about their relationship, thinking the greatest possibility was parent and child.

This also seemed to be the only explanation.

The hunting destination Audiss had in mind was roughly two days' journey away.

They were all hungry, especially the mother bear and the small female bear, who had been very tired these past few days.

Fortunately, two days' journey was still within a tolerable range.

Endurance and calmness were the first lessons Bear Mama taught her children, because these were essential qualities for their survival, with almost no other path to take.

Qiao Qixi: Almost…

Tens of thousands of polar bears: You shut up.

During the short two days on the road, the four polar bears, as family units, formed two groups, each acting independently.

They tacitly maintained a certain safe distance, each taking good care of their own children.

Perhaps for that mother and cub, this journey together was merely a simple encounter in nature.

For Qiao Qixi, they had already developed a deep revolutionary friendship, yes, the kind where the small bear and the small bear could play together in two more days…

How to put it, the Little Polar Bear lying on Bear Mama's back, dangling its little paws and dozing, was so cute.

Like clouds in the sky, and like sweet cotton candy.

How wonderful it would be if he could touch it, hug it, and even kiss it.

Every time Qiao Qixi saw the Little Polar Bear, he thought this way, but he couldn't.

During sleep time, Qiao Qixi poked his head out from Audiss's embrace, lying on Audiss's mountain-like large body, secretly watching the Little Polar Bear family behind them.

Huh, the obsessed him suddenly thought that all those ideals he longed for but couldn't reach, Audiss enjoyed every day.

He touched, kissed, hugged, and didn't even spare the paws and… indescribable places, ah, ah, ah, the more he thought about it, the angrier the Little Polar Bear got, and he bit Audiss's back with a growl.

Audiss was dozing off and hadn't lost consciousness yet; he kept a nerve awake to watch the cub, and being bitten was unexpected.

Although somewhat puzzled, Audiss wasn't angry; according to his simple logical thinking, he probably thought Qiao Qixi was hungry.

A moment later, Audiss lifted his paw to move the little one off him, then gathered the other into his embrace, holding him tightly, even pressing down with his chin.

This way, only the Little Polar Bear's nose, needed for breathing, remained exposed, no, and that extra bit of his face.

!!!

Facing a terrifying predicament comparable to Mount Tai pressing down, Qiao Qixi felt incredibly absurd; since the hot summer arrived, Audiss hadn't pressed him down to sleep like this for quite some time.

That was no different from hugging a small warm stove.

Today, the presence of Bear Mama made Audiss wary, to prevent the Little Polar Bear from running around while he was asleep.

So he simply pressed Qiao Qixi down completely.

Extremely helpless and without recourse, Qiao Qixi's undying urge to pet the small bear was instantly and roughly extinguished by Audiss, leaving no room to even budge.

It was probably only at times like these in his bear life that Qiao Qixi would feel the sadness of being dependent on others.

But then again, between leaving home with dignity and continuing to be sad without dignity, Qiao Qixi would most likely choose sadness without hesitation.

During the polar day, when there was no night, polar bears still maintained one sleep period of over five hours a day; this was their habit.

Sleep was also an effective way to eliminate fatigue and replenish energy.

If injured, one could also nourish the injury through sleep.

Qiao Qixi's face was a little swollen on the first day, very swollen on the second day, and by the third day, which was the day they arrived at the hunting ground, it began to slowly de-swell.

That was great, Qiao Qixi was already impatient with continuing to bounce around with this pig-like face!

This not only interfered with his daily life but also with his attempts to flirt with the cub.

Speaking of which, the bay where they could catch prey was a considerable branch of the river, with a not-too-deep riverbed; the shallow blue seawater, under the sunlight, would be warmer than the deep sea.

White Whales with calves particularly liked to gather here, and their numbers were very large; aerial photos of this tributary clearly showed the White Whales.

Patients with trypophobia might even feel aversion to the photos.

The considerable number of White Whales did not mean they were easy to catch.

A polar bear that had been hungry for some time would still need some luck to catch a White Whale here to relieve its hunger crisis.

Bear Mama had rich experience; facing the prey so close, she appeared calm and rational.

Perhaps she knew that excitement was useless, and there was still a tough battle ahead.

A moment later, this Bear Mama found a suitable Rock on the sea surface for hunting; she quietly lay on it.

Quietly waiting for an opportunity.

The one-year-old Little Polar Bear waited cautiously on the shore; even though Audiss nearby wasn't paying attention to it, Audiss's powerful aura still made it feel timid and uneasy.

Audiss, observing the sea, led Qiao Qixi deeper into the tributary, separating their hunting spot from Bear Mama's.

The tall polar bear silently stepped onto Rock by the water, and the Little Polar Bear following behind him also stretched out a tentative little paw, but the further out they went, the deeper the water became, so he could only wait in the shallow water area, watching Audiss's back.

Every time Audiss hunted, Qiao Qixi felt Audiss was incredibly handsome, both mysterious and cool.

That patience, calmness, strategic planning, and the decisive, swift precision of his final strike, made it impossible to look away.

If Audiss were human, he would definitely be a tall, handsome man with a reserved and reliable temperament, Qiao Qixi thought.

In the 'not' cold seawater of summer, the reefs beneath Audiss's paws were very deep, and the sea level almost reached his chest.

For the next twenty minutes or so, he remained motionless, squatting in the middle of the sea, waiting for an opportunity.

Occasionally, he would wrinkle his nose, sniffing for signs of the enemy.

Speaking of which, Audiss's hunting method was also taught by Bear Mama, but in hunting, his male identity gave him better talent and conditions.

Compared to Bear Mama upstream, Audiss caught food faster; the appetizing scent of blood spread across the turbulent sea, startling a group of nearby marine creatures.

The colossal polar bear, still bearing a fierce aura on his face, used his absolute strength to drag the White Whale from the deep water back to the shore in one go.

This time, Qiao Qixi witnessed Audiss's hunting process up close the whole time, but he still found it incredible and irreplicable.

Such a large White Whale!

It required a quick, fierce, and precise bite, which was a bit difficult.

Audiss placed the food on the shore to share with the small bear; as the main hunter, he was very generous, and before tearing the prey, he shook off the water from his body, exhaling a puff of white mist from his nose.

His face, still wet, looked very sexy and handsome, but Audiss himself probably wasn't aware of this.

Qiao Qixi looked at Audiss, who had returned from hunting, with concern, checking his condition while tutting in his heart.

In a few months, this powerful and handsome Male polar bear would be the youth of a lucky mother bear.

Thinking these thoughts happily, Qiao Qixi obediently squatted on the ground, looking up at Audiss with admiring, smiling big eyes.

In his heart, he was happily fantasizing.

Audiss's today was his tomorrow.

Audiss, who had wiped his face with his paw, lowered his head and exchanged a deep gaze with the infatuated small bear, then his handsome face moved closer.

He extended his pink tongue and, without a word, began to lick Qiao Qixi on the spot.

Ah…

The Little Polar Bear cried out in his heart, don't lick the left side, it hurts so much here.

Reflexively turning his right cheek, Qiao Qixi, who received another round of licking, was stunned; no, his face wasn't wet, why was Audiss licking his innocent self?

Audiss, you s-!

Didn't you realize you were licking the wrong target?!

He wanted to say, but Audiss didn't pay attention to his bear-speak?

Qiao Qixi sighed, first steadying his lower body, so he wouldn't be licked and fall down, which would be quite a mess.

Only when this confused handsome bear finally shifted his attention to his own dripping, sexy face did he lie down on the prey and start eating.

He had thought that tearing open the prey's belly, a small amount of work, he could handle himself, but who knew Audiss quickly squeezed over, attacking from behind him, tearing the White Whale into several pieces in two or three moves.

The freshest, most tender belly meat was still given to him to eat.

It was very overbearing and savage, and he couldn't refuse to eat.

Qiao Qixi wanted to say: Audiss, Audiss, you should use this trick to dote on your wife in the future! I guarantee, on my bear honor, all the female polar bears in the Arctic will love you to death.

But, you can't treat an unrestrained and freedom-loving…

Ahem, simply put, an innocent little bear who doesn't like fatty meat.
