When Qiao Xixi told Jin Ling her plan, he objected for the very first time.
"No way. It's too risky. I won't allow it."
Qiao Xixi knew it would be dangerous, but at the moment, there was no better solution.
She hugged Jin Ling's arm. "We'll be well-prepared, and we'll explain it clearly to the Clan Leader. He'll help us."
Jin Ling's brow remained furrowed.
Qiao Xixi resorted to pestering him, clinging to his arm and wriggling about until her wheedling finally wore him down.
"I don't know why you insist on bringing the cubs, but I'll do everything in my power to protect you all."
Qiao Xixi leaned against his chest, her voice soft. "You've said it yourself—the cubs have to grow up eventually. They need to learn how to face and handle things. This is just another learning experience, isn't it?"
Jin Ling let out a soft sigh. "Alright."
The unconscious Feili felt a familiar warmth slowly seep into his body, bringing immense relief to the oppressive pain in his chest.
