After transmigrating, she became the most beloved beast in the world.

"Little female, you fell into the water. I specially prepared ginger tea. Drink it and you'll sweat it out, so you won't get sick." Fish Bubble approached with a steaming cup of ginger tea, a concerned smile on her face.

"Oh, okay, thank you!" Chu Xinyao tugged at Hu Xiao's sleeve, gesturing with her eyes for him to accept her kindness.

Although Hu Xiao was somewhat reluctant, he still stepped forward and took the ginger tea. His movements were slightly stiff, clearly surprised by Yu Paopao's sudden appearance. After placing the ginger tea on the table and turning around, he found that Yu Paopao had already bypassed him and come to Chu Xinyao's bedside.

“Little female, none of the males around you can swim. I heard one of them gets terribly seasick and can barely get out of bed now. This won’t do. There’ll be no one to take care of you.” As Yu Paopao spoke, he casually tucked the blanket around Chu Xinyao.

Chu Xinyao felt a little uncomfortable, shrinking slightly in embarrassment: "Oh, thank you."

Fish Bubble chuckled softly and teased, "Hey, look at you, you've said thank you so many times since I came here. Don't we know each other? No need to be so polite."

His tone was friendly, which made Chu Xinyao relax involuntarily.

He turned his head and reached out, saying to Hu Xiao with displeasure, "You really have no sense of propriety. Ginger tea should be drunk while it's hot."

"I..." Hu Xiao was speechless for a moment after being provoked like that. He hadn't expected Yu Paopao to suddenly attack him. He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but didn't know where to begin. His hand unconsciously touched the back of his head, and he felt somewhat at a loss.

Seeing this, Chu Xinyao quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Hu Xiao was just worried about me, and besides, he doesn't have much experience taking care of people..."

Yu Paopao smiled and stopped Chu Xinyao from speaking up for Hu Xiao. He coughed lightly, adjusted his expression, and said to Hu Xiao, "I was just joking, don't mind it. I know you care about the little female, we're all doing this for her own good. Pass me the ginger tea, it's best to drink it while it's hot to make it effective."

Hu Xiao, his face dark, picked up the ginger tea and handed it to Chu Xinyao, saying softly, "Yaoyao, you drink it first, don't let it get cold."

Chu Xinyao took the ginger tea, her fingers gently touching Hu Xiao's hand, feeling the warmth of his palm. She looked up at Hu Xiao and smiled, "Thank you, Hu Xiao." Then she turned to Yu Paopao and gave him a grateful smile as well, "Thank you too, Yu Paopao."

Fish Bubble waved her hand and said with a smile, "You're welcome, we're all friends!"

Chu Xinyao gently blew on the ginger tea, carefully took a sip, and the spiciness of the ginger tea made her frown slightly, but she still insisted on drinking it. Just as she put down the bowl, a snow-white finger held a candy to her lips.

The fish bubble's voice was full of temptation: "This is a special honey made by us mermaids, why don't you try it?"

Chu Xinyao slightly stepped back, took the candy with her hand, and said, "Okay, thank you." Her movements were a little hesitant, but she finally put the candy in her mouth.

The sweetness of the candy melted on her tongue, neutralizing the spiciness of the ginger tea, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

After she swallowed the candy, Yu Paopao stood up. His gaze swept back and forth between Hu Xiao and Chu Xinyao, finally settling on Chu Xinyao's face, where he gave her a bright smile: "Then I'll go out first. You get some rest. If you need anything, just call me anytime."

Chu Xinyao nodded, "Okay, by the way, thank you for today. I mean, thank you for saving me when we were in the sea."

“That’s what I should do,” he said, turning to leave. But at the door, he stopped, looked at Hu Xiao, and said, “By the way, a male who can’t take care of females isn’t a good male.” With that, he gave Hu Xiao a provocative smile and strode away.

Hu Xiao's face darkened further, and displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he did not refute it. He knew that Yu Paopao's words were barbed, but he had to admit that they hit the nail on the head.

Suppressing his inner turmoil, he whispered to Chu Xinyao, "Yaoyao, you rest well. I'll stay here and watch over you."

"Okay." Chu Xinyao lay quietly on the bed, feeling her body gradually warming up.

Hu Xiao slowly approached after seeing that her breathing had calmed down. He lay on his side, leaning against Chu Xinyao's pillow, gazing at her gently. As far back as he could remember, Chu Xinyao had always taken care of him, changing his dressings, and even after they boarded the ship, she had been the one taking care of him when he was seasick.

Is he really not a good male?

Does he not deserve to be by Yao Yao's side?

A flicker of confusion crossed Tiger Roar's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by an even more determined look. Even if it wasn't a good male, he would never give up. At worst, he'd start learning from scratch.

He held Chu Xinyao's hand, feeling its warmth, and silently vowed that he would learn how to take care of Yaoyao and become a qualified beast husband. He would also become stronger and be Yaoyao's support.

For the next two days, the weather remained clear and sunny, just like the first day. Over these two days, Chu Xinyao would occasionally "bump into" Yu Paopao, and their relationship quickly warmed up, becoming quite familiar. Moreover, through casual conversations with him, Chu Xinyao gradually learned about his background.

Yu Paopao is not a pure merman; he is a hybrid of a merman and a fish-dragon.

Although the Fish-Dragon Clan is powerful, its low reproductive rate has resulted in a very small number of adult Fish-Dragons in the clan. His mother is currently the only adult female, and although she has six beast husbands, she only has one son, Fish Bubble.

When Chu Xinyao heard Yu Paopao mention six beast husbands, she couldn't help but click her tongue. Her thoughts jumped around, and she said with a hint of teasing, "Six? Doesn't that mean one a day, with Sundays off?"

"Yes, six beast husbands, what's wrong?" Fish Bubble was puzzled by Chu Xinyao's reaction. Six beast husbands weren't unusual. His eyes revealed a hint of confusion, clearly not understanding Chu Xinyao's thought process.

Fish Bubble's alluring eyes flickered, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and he smiled mischievously, "Oh right, little females only have two beast husbands, so doesn't that mean..." He suddenly moved closer to Chu Xinyao, breathed softly into her ear, and said in a seductive voice, "A little lonely, aren't you?"

"Ah," Chu Xinyao was startled by his sudden approach, leaning back slightly with a surprised expression on her face. "What are you doing!" Her voice was flustered, clearly not expecting Yu Paopao to tease her like this.

"Would the little female like to have another beast mate?"

A faint blush rose to Chu Xinyao's face, and she smiled somewhat awkwardly, "You're really good at joking." Her voice was light, trying to defuse the sudden awkwardness.

Yu Paopao looked at Chu Xinyao, a deep look flashing in her eyes. She smiled gently and stopped talking about that topic, changing the subject to make the atmosphere more relaxed.

Chu Xinyao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Yu Paopao was just joking, which was good.
