Because of his beastman senses, which were highly sensitive to smells and presences, Qiong Xing thought it would be fun to sneak up behind Elias and give him a little surprise.
However, his attempt was seen through immediately and he was effortlessly caught.
"You actually thought you could surprise me? You're such a hopeless Mama."
"So frustrating."
It seemed he still needed a lot more training.
If Albe had been there, he would have undoubtedly called it a pointless effort.
"...Anyway, what's wrong? Are you done with the children already?"
Ever since Qiong Xing had returned, the children had refused to leave his side and Elias and the others had simply watched over them with understanding.
"It seems the little clingy ones have had enough. So now Mama has come to cling to Papa."
He had not been away for that many days, nor had he been alone, but being separated from the people he cherished had still weighed on Qiong Xing more than he had realized.
