"Puff—"

As soon as Lote spoke, Sain couldn't help but cover his mouth and burst into laughter beside him. "Hey, we shouldn't be saying things like that just to please the child, right? Are you implying, War God, that you want to snatch the little thing away?"

Luo Te glared at his good friend and then solemnly pulled him in: "Sean also enjoys scavenging."

This blame cannot solely fall upon him, otherwise once we return to the capital, this guy's image of being wise and heroic will be ruined if he speaks of it.

Sain: ......

"Do you guys pick things up together?"

The simple-minded child looked at the two people with an innocent expression on his face.

Lotus smiled and remained silent, leaving Sean no choice but to awkwardly nod, imitating Lotus's tone, saying, '"+' in a stiff manner.

"When I come across something cute, I will pick it up... um, I don't mind picking it up together, good things are meant to be shared... it's alright..."

Luo Te was speechless. How did the conversation feel more and more strange? What was this creepy and blatant feeling all about? What on earth was going through this guy's mind? He was simply trying to strike up a conversation and find common topics with the little guy, so why did Sen take it in such a peculiar direction...

"Wow, you guys have a great relationship... Unfortunately, my older brother doesn't like it when I pick up things at home..."

Anka, who was completely puzzled, had an envious expression on his face.

Sean and Lot: Hehehe… dare you be even more adorable?

While both powerful alphas were being taken care of by Anka, they both secretly sighed in their hearts. This little fellow is truly innocent. If he were in the imperial capital, a child this size would have long ago become cunning, adept at observing and understanding words and expressions, and skilled in playful banter and angry retorts.

In front of people with such identities, they would use every trick and scheme in their actions, not hiding their intentions at all, whether they are natural Omegas or artificially modified Omegas.

And the little one in front of them didn't know their identities. Clearly, they were kind to him even though their origins were unknown. Although it wasn't advisable to trust them so easily without any guard, they were truly lovable, making people want to cherish them. They were much stronger than those artificially refined Omegas from the family's training, with their pure smile and eyes that no one could compare to.

"In this cannibalistic society, it is truly difficult."

Of course, it cannot be denied that in Anka's eyes, they were just found items. Therefore, Xiao Cute did not have any guards up, especially since they had the permission of Uncle Monk.

They could all see that Anka had a great deal of trust and reliance on Uncle Monk.

"Are you all full?"

After finishing their porridge, Anka took out two tissues to wipe their mouths, taking care of them in every detail. Although Lott and Sien felt a bit awkward, they still enjoyed it. Anka's fingers were tender and soft, it was truly amazing how she could still have such fair and delicate skin in a place like this.

"Um, if possible, can we eat something else?"

Luo Te thought for a moment and said tactfully, "Two bowls of porridge are simply not enough for the two of you big men. It's like you guys think you're little animals or something."

"Do you want to eat rice, noodles, bread, or nutrition liquid?" Anka asked, bending her little finger, "Or do you want to eat a bit of everything?"

"Except for the nutrient solution, everything else is fine."

Sai En said that they had eaten too much nutrient solution while traveling outside, and besides, the little guy's living conditions weren't particularly good. So, it would be best not to have such precious nutrient solution.

"Besides the nutrient solution? Alright, then I'll go prepare..."

Anka nodded and stood up, but she swayed and nearly fell down.

"Anka--"

"What's wrong with you?"

Lotte and Sain were startled and immediately asked with concern, "Don't exhaust yourself after just one day, alright? Are you too delicate?"

"Goo~~~~"

A peculiar sound of hunger emanated from the little one's belly.

"I... I'm hungry too... I forgot to eat something."

Anka blushed and lowered her head, gently touching her belly. After coming back today, she had been busy taking care of the two of them, her nerves strained the whole time. She even dreamt while sleeping, forgetting to eat anything.

"Do we have any bread? Go ahead and have a piece to fill your stomach."

Sean furrowed his brow. It seemed that this person had been stationed by their bedside, neglecting to eat, in order to take care of them. With the hot weather causing rapid energy loss in the body, not eating for such a long time would be too much for their small frame to endure.

"Alternatively, you can start by drinking a bottle of nutrient solution," Lott chimed in from the side. "It will help you recover your physical strength more quickly."

Anka shook her head and said, "You only need to drink a bottle of nutrient solution every month. You don't need to drink it now unless your body isn't well."

"Anka, are you not feeling well?"

Luote followed his words and asked, and Sain also looked at him curiously, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Um...drinking a bottle of nutrient solution every month will make you feel better."

Anka twisted her fingers nervously, feeling uneasy as the two individuals in front of her frowned and stared intently, she explained:

"My health is very good. My older brother just said to regularly supplement my nutrition..."

The panicked expression in the little one's deer-like eyes made Lotte suddenly feel like she had asked something intrusive. She quickly smiled and explained:

"Um, we are just concerned about you, no other intentions. You saved us, so we should be concerned about you."

Saien also nodded earnestly, "Yeah, we don't have any other intentions."

"Thank you all..."

Anka lowered her head, her face blushing, and glanced at the two people who were looking kindly at her before speaking softly:

"I'm very healthy, so don't worry. I can take care of you all."

Lotte and Sain exchanged a puzzled look before bursting into laughter: so that's what it means.
