Chapter 435: Chapter 326: Return to the Tribe (2)

Malachi squatted beside, giggling foolishly and occasionally reaching out to touch.

Mael had left since that night, and no one knew where he went. He hadn’t returned for days.

Luna Sutton wasn’t bothered; she guessed he might have returned to The Dragon Clan.

Wondering what Horace Valerius’s reaction would be upon learning she laid Dragon Eggs?

Whatever his reaction, she didn’t care, only a tad curious.

She never incubated eggs herself; Soren Phoenix was always taking care of them.

During the day, Spiritual Liquid was poured on the Dragon Eggs and Phoenix Eggs, and at night, he transformed into his Fire Phoenix form, keeping the Phoenix Eggs warm underneath.

The Dragon Eggs were incubated alongside.

Whether incubating three or five, it didn’t matter; Luna Sutton didn’t need to worry.

The two little wolf pups and the small fox were drinking beast milk.

Which made Luna Sutton, as the Matron, feel quite guilty but also relieved.

In the beast world, after a female transforms into human shape at three, she cannot revert to beast form, making nursing a significant challenge.

Thankfully, beast milk sufficed, and the two wolf pups and small fox had shiny coats and were chubby, clearly well-nourished.

Malachi’s two wolf pups, once full, were energetic, a black and a red fluffy pair rolling together on a beast skin mat.

Nibbling on each other’s ears and biting tails, howling softly in playful mischief.

Kian Sterling’s small red fox with a flame mark on its brow was much quieter, curling up in his father’s arms once fed, its fluffy nine tails wrapping itself into a fiery red ball.

Only its pair of damp fox eyes peeped out, curiously observing the world.

Luna Sutton gazed at the lively scene before her; the days of dangerous excitement and childbirth fatigue seemed slightly faded.

Yet her gaze occasionally landed on the two Dragon Eggs with complex emotions.

“Time to go back.”

Corbin Crowley’s voice pierced the cave’s silence, “Luna needs rest; the pups can’t stay in deserted mountains forever.”

Rhys Blackwood nodded softly, “We’ve been away for several days, time to return.”

He then started packing the scattered items in the cave.

Most things didn’t need to be taken, but the two milk-producing goats and mother leopards at the entrance had to be brought back.

They’re the pups’ source of food.

Zeke Veridian swiftly but gently wrapped the two playful wolf pups in clean beast skins, leaving only their furry little heads exposed.

Despite the quickness, his movements were gentle.

Looking at the incredibly cute little wolf pups, his heart silently lamented: Why aren’t these mine?

Kian Sterling caught Zeke’s expression, fox eyes sparkling.

Yet he said nothing.

He removed his snow-white fox fur robe, wrapping it around Luna Sutton gently, and placed the newly awakened small fox in her arms, “Luna, hold her; the daughter is so warm.”

The small fox affectionately nuzzled the matron’s palm, its fiery red fur resembling a small sun.

Luna Sutton smiled happily, cuddling her daughter close, adjusting the fox fur around her.

Soren Phoenix glanced at the three Phoenix Eggs, then at the two Dragon Eggs, “What about my precious eggs and the Dragon Eggs? We can’t possibly cradle them all the way back, can we? What if they fall or crack on the journey?”

“Use this.”

Malachi suddenly produced a basket made of vines, inside lined thickly with soft dry grass and beast skins, “I made it, very sturdy. Put the eggs inside, flashy Phoenix takes care of flying, I’ll sit on your back holding it securely!”

Though crude, the method was practical.

“No need for such trouble, give them to me, I’ll store them in space.”

Luna Sutton placed the two Dragon Eggs, and three Phoenix Eggs into her space, along with the two milk-producing goats and mother leopards at the entrance.

Worried the mother beasts might crush the eggs, she intentionally tied them down in space under trees.

The Phoenix Eggs and Dragon Eggs were stored far apart.

The two wolf pups and small fox were held in her arms.

Once everything was ready, the group set out.

Luna Sutton sat on Soren Phoenix’s back, completely wrapped in a fox fur cloak.

Afraid she’d catch a cold, Zeke Veridian placed his beast skin clothing over her head, wrapping her tightly.

He even stationed himself at the front, blocking the wind.

Corbin Crowley and Malachi led the way ahead.

Rhys Blackwood followed closely, with Kian Sterling seated on his back.

Though Kian desired to sit with Luna Sutton, Zeke had taken the first chance.

Lian Phoenix and Caelan Phoenix followed behind with Jago.

…

In The Wolf Tribe, inside the largest courtyard of blue brick and tile houses.

Lyle Sutton paced anxiously, hands behind his back, his weathered face filled with worry.

Several days had passed. Malachi encountered troubles in Grolnok, Luna headed there with others, yet there had been no contact for days after they left.

Grolnok was just an ordinary valley, with regular wild beasts like cattle and sheep.

How did Tyrannosaurs, Mammoths, and Saber-toothed Tigers, these ancient beasts suddenly appear?

The thought of Malachi being besieged by those fierce beasts…

He could barely imagine the consequences.

“Father, father, my sister and everyone else returned; they’re all back.”

Mason Sutton ran excitedly into the courtyard, his voice echoing from afar.

Hearing his son, Lyle Sutton pulled off a tuft of his beard in excitement, causing pain that made him wince, rushing out of the courtyard in big strides.

Looking up, he saw several streams of light swiftly flying in the sky, led by Corbin Crowley.

He transformed into human form as soon as he touched down.

Malachi jumped down holding two wolf pups.

Rhys Blackwood followed closely, landing and transforming into human, and Kian Sterling gracefully landed.

Soren Phoenix let out a loud phoenix call, cautiously descending to the ground.

Zeke Veridian assisted the tightly wrapped Luna Sutton as she dismounted.

Lian Phoenix and Caelan Phoenix landed right after.

Lyle Sutton was stunned, gawking at the completely hidden person, “This, this…”

Soren Phoenix changed into human form and stood up, patting the dust off his clothes, and burst into laughter upon seeing Lyle Sutton’s bewildered expression.

Rhys Blackwood’s mouth twitched as he walked over to calmly explain, “Luna just gave birth, it’s best for her to be wrapped warmly.”

Hearing this, Lyle Sutton’s eyes widened, rushing forward hurriedly, frantically uncovering the beast skin clothing from Luna Sutton’s head, “Gave birth? When? Where?”

Malachi’s wolf pups timely let out little beast milk sounds of “aow aow.”

The small fox in Luna Sutton’s arms joined its brothers with a soft fox howl.

“Father.”

She helplessly extended her hand, revealing the small fox in her arms, “Three days ago, in Godsbane Mountains.”

“What reckless behavior.”

Lyle Sutton’s face instantly darkened, “Wild lands, without a single experienced midwife, isn’t it foolhardy to risk life like that?”

Turning around to shout at his son, Mason, “Stop standing there, get the witch doctor over to check on your sister.”

“Yes, father.”

Mason glanced at his sister and turned to run.

Luna Sutton tried to stop him but it was already too late, so she simply let him go.

“Leader.”

Corbin Crowley timely stepped forwards, frowning and said, “Luna needs rest; any discussion can wait.”

“Corbin’s right, Luna should quickly go lie down.”

Lyle Sutton immediately regained composure, waving his hand, “The rest of you go, too, take care of Luna; don’t let her get exhausted or chilled.”

The group quickly entered the house.

Luna Sutton took out the three Phoenix Eggs and two Dragon Eggs from space, along with the two milk-producing goats and mother leopards, handing them to Zeke Veridian to lead to the back yard for tethering.

Lyle Sutton didn’t leave; he also entered the house, naturally noticing the Phoenix Eggs and Dragon Eggs.

Seeing the Phoenix Eggs, he was pleased, but spotting the two Dragon Eggs changed his expression, “Why are there Dragon Eggs? Isn’t he…”

Luna and Mael had separated, even dissolved the companion seal, yet two Dragon Eggs appeared; this was…

“Father.”

Luna Sutton wearily rubbed her temples, “I’ll explain later, okay?”

Mainly because she didn’t know how to explain.

Seeing his daughter’s pale face, Lyle Sutton didn’t pursue further, only casting a fierce glare at the two Dragon Eggs.

Afraid the leader would vent fury and then crack them for a fried egg snack, Soren Phoenix quickly carried the two Dragon Eggs into his room.

Of course, he didn’t forget to take his Phoenix Eggs.
