Chapter 396 Everyone Come and Claim to Be a Father

"Splash," "splash," "splash," water splashed, soaking the beast servants.

Jiang Xi looked over and saw the blackfish's tail sticking out of the water, clinging to the rock in the fish tank, trying to climb out like it was doing a sit-up.

She was now certain that this was a mischievous newborn orc.

Osiris, "Take him away."

The beast servants hurriedly tried to lift the fish tank, but they couldn't lift it. They slipped and fell to the ground one after another, splashing a large amount of water from the tank onto them.

The situation briefly spiraled out of control.

Jiang Xi covered her face.

"You guys go down and change your clothes right away. Leave the fish tank there for now."

The beastmen looked cautiously at the king, but Osiris waved them away.

Jiang Xi wanted to go check on the little black fish, but Osiris wouldn't let go.

"Let's eat first."

He took the peeled shrimp, dipped it in the female master's favorite sauce, and fed it to her.

"ah."

Jiang Xi took a bite and kept looking in that direction.

"What if he falls?"

Osiris: "It didn't even get damaged from steaming, so what's there to be afraid of if it falls?"

Jiang Xi remained silent for a few moments.

It seems...that's how it is...

Eating half-heartedly isn't good, so Jiang Xi quickly focused on her meal and sped up her eating.

Seeing how much the female master cared for the little beastman, Osiris grew even more disliked the brat.

"Eat slowly, mistress."

Jiang Xi: "Hmm, okay."

Cecilia lay on the edge of the bathtub, patting her tail and looking this way.

However, the movement of his tail could no longer attract Jiang Xi's attention.

Clearly, it was Osiris, who had taken over Lu Liufeng's body, who was keeping him at bay.

Cecilia sank back to the bottom of the water, pondering what to do next.

He didn't think for long before that beautiful face he had longed for peeked in, curiously looking at him lying in the water.

He turned over, swam to the surface, and wanted to speak, but after seeing Osiris sitting not far away out of the corner of his eye, he swallowed his words.

We must not let Osiris find out.

He controls the core of this fragmented world; if he wanted, he could make it disappear completely.

Jiang Xi saw the little black fish lying blankly by the bathtub and tapped its head with her finger.

"Can you understand what I'm saying?"

After asking the question, she laughed at herself, "How could you possibly understand that? You were just born."

Let's eat!

She took a shrimp, broke it into small pieces, and fed it to him.

The beast servants had changed their clothes and returned. They wanted to help feed them, but Jiang Xi avoided them.

"I'll do it."

She felt a great sense of accomplishment that the little black fish would only eat the food she fed it!

Cecilia responded by swishing water off the beastmen with her tail, indicating that she didn't want them to come near.

The beast servants wiped the water off their faces, looking somewhat bewildered.

They were here to serve Wang Ci, but now that Wang Ci has to do things for them, they seem useless.

Jiang Xi waved her hand, "You all step back a bit. With so many adults gathered here, we might scare him."

That's right. In the little black fish's eyes, they were super giants. Anyone would be afraid of being surrounded by a group of super giants.

Cecilia had no idea what she was thinking, so she simply wrapped her tail around her fingers to stop her from leaving.

Osiris walked over, looked at the little black fish clinging to his female master, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, but when he spoke, his tone became gentle.

"Does the female master really like the little cubs?"

He raised his hand and gently tapped the little black fish's head, naturally getting a splash of water on its tail.

Jiang Xi looked up and smiled at him.

"It's alright, I just feel sorry for this little guy because he's a bit clumsy."

Cecilia: "..."

Osiris glanced outside.

Then, a black-haired, blue-eyed merman beastman entered, led by a beast guard. As soon as he entered, he ran towards the fish tank, crying loudly.

"My child! My child!"

He knelt down beside the fish tank, wiping away tears as he expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, Wang and Wang Ci, I finally found him, waaaaah..."

Jiang Xi was stunned.

From the moment the orc entered the room to the moment he knelt on the ground crying, his actions were so fluid and seamless that she couldn't react at all.

She took a step back and looked down at the black-haired, blue-eyed orc kneeling on the ground.

"Are you his father beast?"

The orc wiped away his tears and nodded repeatedly.

But then, the little black fish raised its tail and kept swishing water at the orc, then clung tightly to Jiang Xi's hand and wouldn't let go.

Cecilia could tell without even thinking that someone had brought this orc.

Osiris said, "My lady, now that his father has come, let us return him to his father."

Jiang Xi became somewhat wary upon seeing the little black fish's dislike for the beastmen.

"Are you really his father beast?"

The orc nodded. "I was picking seaweed on the seabed when I turned around and he disappeared. I never expected that he had been captured. Luckily, Wang Ci was there, which is why he survived."

Osiris said, "Get up. It's not easy to have a little brat. Take him back quickly and don't make your mistress worry."

The orc thanked him profusely, stood up, and reached out to take the little black fish.

Jiang Xi stepped back slightly, looking somewhat hesitant.

Although the orc in front of me had black hair and blue eyes, and looked a lot like the little black fish, his eyes weren't a pure blue.

She thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Can you transform into a full-fledged orc fish form?"

"I can't confirm that you are the father of this little black fish just by your words."

The orc froze; he was just an ordinary blackfish orc.

Just then, a beast guard trotted in and whispered something in Osiris's ear.

Osiris's face darkened, and he turned to leave but stopped, looking at the orc who had come in to claim the body.

"Guards, take him away and detain him."

Orc: "Huh?"

Jiang Xi looked at Osiris blankly.

"What happened?"

Osiris: "Many sea beastmen have come from outside, and they all say that this little black fish is the father of this beast."

Jiang Xi: "!!??"

"What's going on?!"

"Is this fake?"

The orc was led away by the beast guards without saying a word. When they arrived at the side gate, the beast guards threw him a bag of shell coins.

"Alright, let's go. Let's pretend we were never here."

The orc opened the shell coin, glanced at it, and became very pleased.

"Do I really not need to put on two more shows? No matter how many beastmen come, I can still cry like a good father beast who has lost his child in front of the Queen."

Beast Guard: "Go, go, go! Get out of here!"

The orc carried the shell coins and left.

At the royal palace, Jiang Xi became wary.

"We can't let them see the little black fish; we have to screen them carefully! Those orcs who randomly claim offspring must also be punished as a warning, otherwise, the little ones from the Sea Kingdom will be in great danger!"

"Sea monster traffickers!"

"We absolutely cannot give the little black fish to them!"

Jiang Xi thought about it and made up her mind.

"If we really can't find his parents, then we'll raise him in the palace for now. Once he's grown up and has the ability to hunt and survive, we'll release him back into the sea."
