"AHHH! Zhāo Yàn, do something! Your mother is trying to make me into a kebab! Help me!" Bai Yue shrieked, ducking as the heavy iron-wood stick whistled through the air, narrowly missing her ponytail.
From what she remembered, Zhāo Yàn's mother was very.... energetic and had a nasty temper.
"Mother, stop!" Zhāo Yàn finally lunged forward, catching the gnarled staff mid-swing. Even for a Fox Lord, the impact seemed to rattle his bones, and his eyes widened. "Calm down! You will hit the children! Stop this!"
Gū Gū stopped, her chest heaving under her woven furs. She glared at her son, then at the panther triplets who were watching with wide, saucer-like eyes. They looked surprised. It wasn't everyday they saw an old woman act with so much energy and anger.
Miao Miao in particular was in awe.
Gū Gū's face transformed instantly. The murderous rage vanished, replaced by a doting, toothy grin. Ehh?
