Traveling through the world of beasts: Beast husbands! Stop snatching!

Chapter 296 Like a "Baby Doll" Becoming a Macho Man

"Hey, you little rascal, you've got quite a temper."

Ao Shuang reacted quickly, extending two fingers to gently pinch the little white bird by the back of its neck and lifting it up.

The little white bird kicked its four claws wildly and made soft "chirp chirp" sounds to protest.

Aoshuang lifted it up to her eyes, making it eye-level, and sternly reprimanded it, "Trying to peck your sister as soon as you come out? No manners at all. I think you'd better learn how to stand properly and how to fly. Besides, that's your precious mermaid sister; you'll have to learn to protect her in the future, understand?"

The little white bird's frantic struggles suddenly stopped, and its tiny, beady eyes blinked repeatedly, as if it were truly "listening" to Aoshuang's words.

It turned its head and looked at Qianqian beside it, whose face was full of curiosity and joy.

She gently extended her finger and carefully tapped its little head: "I'm Sister Nian, Sister Qianqian."

The little white bird stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly stopped struggling. Instead, it leaned closer and gently rubbed its fluffy little head against Qianqian's fingers.

It felt soft to the touch, carrying the warm body temperature of a new life.

Qianqian's heart melted instantly, and her voice was so soft it could melt water: "Until you grow up, your older sister will protect you! Come on, I'll take you to find Mother! Mother will be so happy to see you!"

She carefully took the still unsteady little white bird from Aoshuang's hands, cradling it in her arms as if it were the most precious treasure in the world, and excitedly ran off to find Yuanxiao.

Ajin followed curiously behind.

Yuan Xiao was delighted to see the little creature hatch.

Although the little guy is still small, it has pure white, fluffy feathers, a round body, and bright black eyes, making it incredibly cute.

"It looks just like a little glutinous rice ball." Yuan Xiao smiled and gently stroked the bird's back feathers with her fingertips.

The little white bird comfortably squinted its eyes, but upon hearing the word "tangyuan" (glutinous rice balls), it immediately opened its eyes, angrily cooed at Yuan Xiao a few times, and then flapped its wings.

"What does he mean by this?" Yuan Xiao looked up and asked Ao Shuang and Qian Qian, who had followed her in.

Qianqian covered her mouth and laughed: "Mother, he said he doesn't like the name 'Tangyuan', he doesn't want to be called Tangyuan."

Yuan Xiao laughed: "Oh, you're quite opinionated? So what name do you want?"

Little white bird: "Coo-coo! Chirp-chirp-chirp! Coo!"

Qianqian continued translating: "He said... he wanted a majestic name, one that sounded like a macho man's!"

"puff--"

Yuan Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She glanced at Aoshuang, who stood beside her with her arms crossed and a cool expression on her face.

Although Ao Shuang tried his best to maintain a serious demeanor, the slight upturn of his lips betrayed his true feelings.

What's that saying again? Like father, like son.

Yuan Xiao smiled and shook her head. After thinking for a moment, she deliberately teased the little guy, "Then... how about 'Xiao Bai'? It's simple, easy to remember, and it suits your current appearance."

Upon hearing this, the little white bird's black bean eyes widened even more, and its downy feathers seemed to stand on end: "Coo coo coo!!!"

Translation: Is there a difference?! Doesn't this still mean I'm cute?!

Seeing her son's flustered expression, Yuan Xiao laughed so hard she almost fell over. Finally, she made the decision: "I don't care, Tangyuan or Xiaobai, you choose one! Otherwise, I'll let your father choose one for you."

Ao Shuang coughed lightly at the right moment, and her gaze immediately swept towards her son.

The little white bird glanced at its smiling but resolute mother, then at its spineless father who seemed to say, "Try disobeying your mother if you dare," and its little head drooped, its wings listlessly drooping, letting out a weak "Chirp..."

Translation: Let's go with the white one then... it's better than glutinous rice balls...

"Little White, Little White!"

Qianqian happily called out her new little brother's name, liking him more and more as she looked at him.

With the arrival of this fluffy, adorable little member, the house has become much more lively.

Qianqian is a gentle and considerate older sister who dotes on Xiaobai and wants to hold it in her hands all the time.

Even the slightest tremor from Xiaobai made her incredibly nervous.

Even the best food and fun activities are prioritized for it.

Little Bai also likes to stick close to this sweet and soft older sister, and often snuggles in her arms and dozes off.

But Ah Jin doesn't care about any of that.

In his simple and straightforward understanding, since he was a male animal, he needed to be trained and couldn't be too pampered.

Therefore, he often "ordered" Xiaobai around.

"Xiaobai, go pick up that leaf." Ajin pointed to a fallen leaf not far away.

Little White tilted its head and looked at him, without moving.

Ajin picked up a small pebble and weighed it in her hand: "Not going? Then let's see if I can hit it faster, or you can dodge it faster?"

Little White fluttered its wings and stumbled as it retrieved the leaf.

"Little White, you can't always be carried when you're learning to fly. You need to practice more on your own." Ajin looked at Little White, who was being stroked by Qianqian in her arms.

Qianqian complained, "It's still small! What if it breaks?"

Ah Jin argued, "You have to fall to learn. When I was a kid, I fell countless times while learning these skills." He said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Little White seemed to understand, jumped down from Qianqian's arms, and really tried its best to flap its wings.

Although it doesn't fly very high, it makes progress each time.

Similar incidents happened frequently, and Qianqian felt sorry for her younger brother, sometimes unable to help but argue with Ajin.

"Ah Jin! Xiao Bai is still so small, you can't always make it do chores!"

"I'm helping it."

Ajin usually doesn't argue with her, but simply states her own opinion, but makes sure Xiaobai does everything she's supposed to do.

Unfortunately, this "good-for-nothing" little bird seems to actually "recognize" Ah Jin.

Although it might grumble reluctantly a few times when Ah Jin asks it to do something, it will usually do it in the end.

Moreover, after "training" with Ajin for a few days, its flapping wings became noticeably more powerful, and the muscles under its downy fur became a little firmer.

Qianqian was both angry and heartbroken. Finally, one day, she went to Yuanxiao and Aoshuang to complain.

"Mother! Father! Please do something about Ajin! He's always bullying Xiaobai, making her do this and that, and Xiaobai is still so young!"

She held Yuan Xiao's hand gently, tears still welling up in her big eyes.

It's clear that she truly cares about her younger brother.

Upon hearing this, Ao Shuang wasn't particularly angry. Instead, she patted Qianqian's head and said, "It's not a bad thing to let A Jin take it out for some exercise. You haven't seen how I learned to fly when I was little. My mother... was much stricter than A Jin."

As he spoke, his gaze drifted away for a moment, and his voice lowered.

He thought of his mother, Qinghan.

Qinghan was indeed strict with him when he trained him. But it was precisely that rigorous training that allowed him to grow rapidly, establish himself in the perilous ice plains, and become the youngest Glacier King.
