The following afternoon, the winter sun cast a pale, gentle light over the Dragon Beast City.
Su Qinglan was back in her vibrant backyard garden, crouching down to dig up some fresh winter vegetables. Her face was flushed a pretty rosy red from the cool breeze, but she did not mind the cold at all.
Even though the winter air was freezing, she found the crisp breeze incredibly refreshing after spending so many days trapped inside the house.
Right besides her, the three little cubs… Xiao Yi, Xiao Er, and Xiao San were trotting around happily in their beast forms. Each of them was holding a tiny woven basket in their mouths.
Every time Su Qinglan dug up a fresh, green bunch of winter spinach, she would shake off the excess dirt and place a few leaves into their small baskets.
The three little cubs puffed out their chests proudly, holding their heads high as they carried their small loads. They trotted around their mother like little soldiers on a very important mission.
