Chapter 240 - 242: Luoluo Became Beautiful

Chapter 240: Chapter 242: Luoluo Became Beautiful

Mo Xuan was initially a bit moved, feeling a sense of camaraderie with Fu Feng, like brothers in misfortune. But who would have thought the man’s eyes would actually glance down at him. ’That damned bird, what is he thinking?’

’He can’t be doubting my... performance, can he?!’

’Damn it, what was there to pity him for? Didn’t I lose to Nantu before, too?’

’I wonder who it was that was just complaining to me, all miserable, that Nantu was a child of fortune and got drawn against him in the lots.’

Thinking of the draw, Mo Xuan’s expression darkened again. The last time they drew lots for night watch, he had also lost to Nantu.

’Does Nantu have some kind of jinx on me?’

Luan Ting, however, didn’t say anything. He glanced at Mo Xuan, then walked ahead. "Let’s go in and see Luoluo first."

Hearing this, Mo Xuan instantly reined in his emotions and headed inside.

Xi Yi also went inside without hesitation.

Bai Meng paused for a moment before following them in.

However, just as he reached the door, Xi Yi shot him a glance and said in a cold tone, "You’re not Luoluo’s Beastman. It’s not convenient for you to go in."

With that, he shut the door, leaving Bai Meng standing there, stunned.

’That’s right, I haven’t become Luoluo’s Beastman yet.’

He stood frozen for a moment, then shook his head, his gaze firm. "It’s fine. I’ll have a chance after Luoluo is done having her cubs."

Su Yang and Su Zhao also headed inside. Seeing Bai Meng’s forlorn figure, Su Zhao shook his head. He wanted to say something but realized there was nothing to be said.

’It’s not like I haven’t told him before. When has he ever listened?’

He sighed, ultimately said nothing, and followed Su Yang inside.

Everyone’s attention was on Su Luoluo inside the room. No one noticed a red bird with a long tail approaching from outside. Its claws slowly drew near as it prepared to strike at the room’s interior.

However, just as it got close, it was snatched away by another red bird and flown from the spot. ⅇ

Hua Jinxin felt her tail feather being pulled. With a backhand motion, she summoned a Phoenix Order, ready to eliminate her opponent.

But to her surprise, the moment the golden-red Phoenix Order appeared, it was instantly devoured. Her eyes widened, and she was about to fight when she recognized a familiar figure. "Mother, why are you here?"

Gu Wanyi retracted her hand, her fiery Phoenix Eyes glaring at the person before her. "I was about to ask you the same thing. What are you doing?"

Hearing this, Hua Jinxin puffed up her cheeks angrily. "Brother Feng has a cub now! I’m going to kill that cub so he’ll come back."

Gu Wanyi looked at her simple-minded daughter, a headache coming on. "That female has so many Beastmen. How do you know the cub belongs to that boy, Fu Feng? Jinxin, you’re far too impulsive."

"How could it not be Brother Feng’s? Brother Feng is so handsome, how could that ugly female possibly let him go?" Hua Jinxin said with conviction.

’My Brother Feng has it all: looks, talent... Only a fool wouldn’t touch him.’

’No, wait. He’s perfect in every way, except his taste isn’t very good. How could he have taken a liking to such an ugly female?’

’He even ran away from home for her, choosing that over being with me.’

Gu Wanyi was left speechless by Hua Jinxin’s words.

’That boy Fu Feng is indeed handsome and comes from a good family, but my daughter is just too infatuated!’

’Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.’

She sighed and said earnestly, "Even so, you could have waited. That female is in the middle of giving birth. What did you think you were doing, barging in like that?"

"If you had actually hurt his cub and the female, your relationship with him would only get worse. Besides, the Dragon Sparrow Clan is notoriously protective of their own. If that old man Fu Jing found out you hurt his precious little grandchild, this engagement of yours would be in even greater jeopardy."

"Mother, why do you think I’m so stupid? I’m very smart. Of course I was going to do it secretly," Hua Jinxin pouted, unconvinced.

Gu Wanyi looked at the clear-eyed yet foolish person before her, unable to associate her with the word "smart" in any way.

’I, Gu Wanyi, have been clever my whole life. How did I give birth to such a foolish female?’

"The Dragon Sparrow Clan is not to be trifled with. It would be better for you to wait."

"Wait for what? Any later and it’ll be too late! Mother, why don’t you use the Phoenix Divination to secretly steal the child and then throw it away!" Hua Jinxin suddenly proposed a plan.

Hearing this, Gu Wanyi couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her. "The Phoenix Divination is mentally and physically draining. You want to use it for such a trivial matter? Are you trying to shorten your mother’s life?"

"Mother, that’s not what I meant..."

As she was speaking, a faint golden light emanated from Gu Wanyi’s palm. She waved her hand, and a bird-like man immediately appeared to report, "Madam, the female did not give birth to Young Master Fu’s cub."

"I see. You are dismissed. Just keep a close watch on them."

With that, she waved her hand again, and everything returned to normal in an instant.

She lifted her eyelids to look at the person before her. "Did you hear that? The female wasn’t carrying that boy Fu Feng’s cub. Come with me. Next time, don’t be so reckless. You almost ruined our plans."

When Hua Jinxin heard that Fu Feng didn’t have a cub, her face lit up with joy. "Then it must be because Brother Feng thought she was dirty and didn’t touch her."

Gu Wanyi: "..." ⅇℓ.

"Alright, we can go back now, can’t we!"

Hua Jinxin wanted to stay. She had been hit by that person’s palm strike last time and wanted to get her win back. But seeing her mother’s angry face, Hua Jinxin still followed her back.

’There’s no helping it. My mother is terrifying when she’s angry.’

...

Inside the room, Cai Xia had just finished covering Su Luoluo with a beast skin blanket when the people from outside came in one after another.

Xiao Ye held seven Snake Eggs, a blissful expression on his face. "You gave birth to so many cubs. You’ve worked hard, Luoluo."

Su Luoluo glanced over at the sound. She saw Xiao Ye holding all seven Snake Eggs against his chest, the shells so close to one another that she felt her heart skip a beat.

But the next moment, seeing the eggs occasionally roll a little before being nudged back into place by Xiao Ye, she felt much more at ease.

’They are Snake Eggs, after all. Maybe they’re different.’

’Xiao Ye is a snake; he knows better than I do.’

Luan Ting had a cub hanging around his neck and held one in each arm. He spoke to Su Luoluo with a gentle warmth, "Thank you, Luoluo. I’ll take care of the cubs, you just rest."

Su Luoluo had been feeling a bit helpless about the arrival of these new lives, not knowing what to do. Seeing the two Beast Fathers so naturally take on the task of caring for the cubs put her mind at ease.

However, she scanned the people in the room but didn’t see her beautiful mermaid. She asked in confusion, "Where’s Nantu?"

Xi Yi smiled and said, "Nantu said the little female would be more comfortable in the water, so he took her for a soak."

Su Luoluo nodded upon hearing this. "Fish-types should soak in water more often. We can get her a small bathtub later. My little female is so beautiful, we have to make sure she’s comfortable."

After speaking, she sighed with pride, "I can’t believe someone with my plain looks could give birth to such a beautiful little female. She’ll definitely be the number one beauty in the tribe someday!"

Hearing this, Xi Yi’s lips curved into a smile. "But why do I feel like Luoluo is the most beautiful one?"

Su Luoluo was already quite immune to Xi Yi’s roguish words and was about to retort.

Cai Xia nodded from the side as well. "I think so too. Luoluo, you’ve gotten much prettier since you got pregnant with the cubs. And you’re even more beautiful after giving birth. You’re starting to look more and more like the leader and the Leader’s Wife."

Su Luoluo heard the first part and thought Cai Xia was just flattering her. But when she mentioned looking like Lan Ya and Su Zhao, she instantly found a mirror to check.

One look and she was astonished to find that her once flat, narrow eyes had become large and round—a pair of dewy almond eyes. Her nose was even more defined than the one she had fabricated for herself, and her skin was fair and tender. Moreover, she hadn’t gained any weight on her face. She was the very picture of a budding beauty.

’I haven’t done anything recently. How did I suddenly become so beautiful?’

’And my features look so much more three-dimensional. Especially my once-sunken eyes, it’s like I got cosmetic injections—they’re so big and sparkling.’

Xi Yi had been joking, but the next moment, he saw the red mole at the corner of Su Luoluo’s eye. His expression turned serious. "Luoluo, someone has placed witchcraft on you."

"Witchcraft?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at him, their faces filled with confusion.

His expression was grave, and he was just about to explain.

CREAK— The door was pushed open from the outside. Si Cheng walked in, dressed in white Beast Skin Clothes. His expression was a bit serious. He opened his mouth, about to say something, but then noticed the room was full of people.

His gaze swept past Xiao Ye’s and Luan Ting’s cubs, landing on Xi Yi. Upon seeing the Contract Totem, his eyes darkened slightly as he gave Xi Yi a scrutinizing look.
