Chapter 205 Anger and Acceptance

"what!"

"Who does he think he is! He thinks he can just stuff a beast into Xin'er's body like that? What's wrong with Snake Ink? How could he agree to something like this?" After learning that the Hai brothers had obtained the Holy City Lord's consent, even the usually mild-mannered Crane Feather couldn't help but fly into a rage.

Chu Xinyao was also completely baffled. Her gaze towards the Hai brothers turned slightly cold, like a lake surface covered in frost, gleaming with a chilling light. She raised an eyebrow slightly, adding a touch of sharpness to her features.

Could it be that these two brothers have some kind of leverage over Shemo?

"What exactly do you two want to do, and what methods did you use to get Shemo to agree to this?" Her voice was not loud, but it carried a chilling coldness.

The three people beside them also stared at the two with unfriendly expressions. Hu Xiao clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His already burly figure, amplified by his anger, made him look intimidating at first glance.

If it weren't for the large number of cubs along the way, he would have made his move much earlier.

The two people beside him also looked angry, exchanging glances from time to time, as if they had reached some unknown agreement.

Hai Xing felt wronged, his handsome face flushed red. He took a step forward, almost staggering, to Chu Xinyao's side, grabbed her hand, and his innocent, doe-like eyes were full of grievance. "Sister, didn't you promise Xiao Xing'er that you would come to find her after she came of age? But Xiao Xing'er has waited for so long, and you haven't come. How can you say that Xiao Xing'er used some tricks? Can't you feel Xiao Xing'er's sincerity?" His voice was trembling with tears, making one feel sorry for him.

Hearing his words, Hu Xiao couldn't help but roll his eyes. He hadn't said anything like that on the way here!

However, his words stumped Chu Xinyao. Without showing any emotion, Chu Xinyao withdrew her hand and said in a low voice, "Before, you were the one who said that. I didn't agree to it."

"Didn't my sister already agree?"

She acquiesced? When did she acquiesce? Her mind instantly went blank; this was so different from what she remembered.

"me......"

“Sister,” Hai Xing interrupted her refusal, his eyes lowered, “Even if you didn’t agree, my brother and I can’t go back to the Seahorse Tribe. The chieftain has already obtained the Holy City Lord’s consent to give us to you.”

Lord of the Holy City?

Damn Longyuan!

[Ahhhhhh! Sister Ting, look what Longyuan is up to!]

[......] Long Tingting remained silent. To be honest, she didn't know what Long Yuan wanted to do either.

Chu Xinyao was well aware that although she hadn't given birth to any children or received any points rewards in the past three years, she had spent all her points on fertility pills three years ago. However, because the fertility pill program had been very successful, her points were now slowly starting to rise again.

Chu Xinyao stomped her foot. She shouldn't have agreed to Long Yuan's offer to use her points to exchange for a physical body for Long Tingting. After all, even Sister Tingting herself hadn't said she wanted a physical body!

She was completely fooled by Long Yuan! The little devil in Chu Xinyao's heart kept roaring.

The current situation was rather awkward. Looking at the two expectant faces, Chu Xinyao waved her hand and said, "Let's talk about this later!"

"No, sister," Haiyan stopped her, "Our seahorse clan's reproductive ability depends entirely on the males. Look at me and my brother, we are strong and healthy, we can definitely raise many offspring for you!"

He wasn't bragging. Previously, their seahorse clan had always been welcomed by females on the continent. Apart from the fact that they were male beastmen who gave birth, even the weaker ones had at least five cubs in each litter. Not to mention that people like him and his brother, who had just come of age, were strong, and had orange-level sixth-tier aptitude, were extremely rare.

"Do you think I'm lacking offspring?" Chu Xinyao glanced at him sideways.

Hai Xing didn't know how to answer for a moment. It seemed that Chu Xinyao did indeed have 16 black snake cubs, 10 red crane cubs, as well as white tiger and fish dragon cubs.

She certainly doesn't lack offspring! Not just not lacking, she has way too many! No seahorse has ever had a record of having thirty offspring.

He bit his lip, trying to fight for his chance, "But the City Lord of the Holy City said..."

"He is him, and I am me. I'll talk about this later." After saying that, Chu Xinyao ignored the two brothers and walked towards Hu Xiao and Yu Zijing.

Hai Xing's unwavering belief crumbled. He stood there, trembling slightly, his once bright eyes now dull and lifeless. His face was pale, and he murmured softly, "Brother, what should I do? Sister doesn't want me, I..." His voice was thick with sobs, and his pitiful appearance was heartbreaking.

Seeing this, Haiyu quickly stepped forward, patted his shoulder, lowered his head, and looked at Haixing gently, comforting him, "Little Xing'er, don't worry, your brother is here. Brother will find a way." As he spoke, he gave Haixing a confident smile. However, when he looked up at Chu Xinyao's back, his eyes darkened slightly, as if he had made a plan.

Feeling the burning gazes behind her, Chu Xinyao sighed and said to Hu Xiao and Yu Zijing:

"Xiao, Caviar, the flamingo chicks are at a crucial stage of their transformation. I'd like to take them with me after they successfully transform, is that alright?"

"Of course." The two replied without hesitation; transforming into human form was such an important thing.

“But you’re living here…” Chu Xinyao looked around. Next to the two blue beast-drawn carriages were several simple animal-hide sheds. It seemed that this was where they had slept last night.

"Yaoyao, don't worry. We male beastmen are tough and resilient. Staying here for a few nights won't be a problem at all. The cubs are in a critical period of transformation, so you and Yu should go upstairs and look after them first!"

“Yes.” Yu Zijing glanced at the dejected Hai Xing. Now that their problem was solved, things would be much easier.

"Alright, let's go up first." After saying goodbye to the two, Chu Xinyao and He Yu flew back to the divine tree.

"Xin'er, are we just going to leave those two seahorse brothers like this?"

Chu Xinyao knew that simply hiding wouldn't work. She also understood why Long Yuan had assigned these two brothers to her—it was because he felt her points were too low!

But she really didn't want to have any more babies. She felt that if she had too many babies and didn't take good care of them all, she wouldn't be a responsible mother.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Yu, do you know how many offspring a seahorse can give birth to in one litter?"

This question touched on a blind spot in He Yu's knowledge; he rarely paid attention to these things and really didn't know.

Seeing his blank expression, Chu Xinyao knew she had asked the wrong person.

Alright, let's ask the Hai brothers again when we set off!

She secretly calculated that her maximum number of eggs in one litter was ten for the flamingo. If the seahorse race could exceed that number, it didn't seem impossible.

She felt that even if it didn't exceed that number, she would still be tempted, since she wouldn't need to give birth herself, right?

But that's still her child. She can't just let Haiyan and the others have the baby and then completely ignore it. That's not how you can be a scumbag!

Wait, what is she thinking?

He patted his face to pull his wandering thoughts back; taking care of the cubs was the priority now!
