Inside the cave, Su Qinglan had just finished cleaning the cave when a streak of gold zipped past her ankles.
"Oof!"
Startled, she stumbled backward as a fluffy lion cub dove behind her legs, using her as a human barricade.
She barely had time to glance down before two striped blurs barreled into the cave after him, growling fiercely in tiny, squeaky voices.
Xiao Er and Xiao Yi were utterly merciless.
Their little paws drummed against the stone floor as they skidded and slid, claws scraping in their frantic pursuit.
Perched proudly atop Xiao Yi's head, Xiao San dangled like a smug little crown, his tongue flicking in thrilled encouragement.
"Babies! What are you doing?" Su Qinglan called out.
They ignored her completely.
The two tiger cubs spat out the red fruits they had been carrying, launching them like furry little projectiles at the lion cub before charging again.
