“Brother Huangmu?” Chu Zao looked at Chao Huangmu standing on the mountaintop over there and spoke subconsciously. Chao Huangmu stood at the highest point, looking straight over like that. He heard Chu Zao’s voice. He was stunned for a moment. Who… is that? Chao Huangmu’s face showed no emotion, but his head felt as if… Continue reading Cub 138: Zao Zao Can Get Angry Too

On Desmond’s side. After resting half a day and confirming his power was no longer on the verge of another violent outburst, Desmond and the others prepared to clear out the monsters near the camp. “You’re bringing that little one with us?” Dan was organizing for the upcoming operation when he heard Desmond’s words, his… Continue reading Cub 137: Meeting and Locking Eyes

Desmond’s eyes, previously fierce from pain, were momentarily dazed. Little Chu Zao, who had squeezed in to see what was happening, was also stunned. There was no light in the room, only a bit of daylight filtering in through the not-quite-sealed window. Inside was a mess; a specially-made shackle was fastened to his wrist—only one,… Continue reading Cub 136: Who Would Like Such a Half-Grown Cub Anyway [Loudly]

It wasn’t quite what he’d imagined. What was that thing? Dan’s expression stiffened slightly.

Instantly, a few lead ships were blown up. The squad, hesitating only a moment, scattered at once.… Continue reading Cub 133: Poor Little Fluffy Ball Zao

The Holy Cas Empire’s starships hovered above their heads. There weren’t actually that many. But with precedent, a wave of tension swept through the conference hall. Emperor Yakai entered briskly from outside: “Attempt to contact the Holy Cas starship comms.” “Your Majesty.” Inside, the other national and regional leaders rose as Yakai entered, calming somewhat.… Continue reading Cub 132: Feeney: Why Is It You Guys Again

Chao Huangmu looked up—and froze, finding Chu Zao’s face reflected in his clear black eyes. Though a young man now, perhaps due to his immortal blood and the fact that his nature had never really changed—not to mention his face—Chao Huangmu still radiated that handsome, sunny, eternally youthful charm. Chu Zao had just cupped his… Continue reading Cub 131: No Need for Such High Morals—Baby
