"Since it's such a big deal as finding the child, it's definitely necessary to make a trip there."
After the Orc King said that, the others stopped trying to stop him. However, Osiris noticed the awkward atmosphere and asked:
"I have a feeling that you kings are more concerned with my private affairs than with political matters."
Shen Qianyu replied, "We understand the heartbreaking situation of being separated from our carefully raised cubs, who are still so young and have suffered so much outside."
These words struck a chord with several people. Even the usually taciturn and impatient Zombie King turned around and asked Shen Qianyu:
"Your cub is missing too?"
What do you mean by "also lost their cubs"?
The waiter taking notes at the meeting was utterly exasperated. This was supposed to be a highly anticipated round table meeting of the kings, but before it was even halfway through, the kings had started talking about their personal lives and private matters!
But they couldn't get a word in edgewise; they could only listen to the kings talking about their own children.
“My child is obedient and sensible. He was willing to share everything for me and the community. He protected everyone in the face of danger, but forgot to protect himself. Now his fate is unknown.”
Shen Qianyu said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Long Qian couldn't help but drift into memories: "My cub was very, very small and clumsy, but he loved me very much... He was the most obedient and adorable child in the world."
Osiris was furious and slammed his fist on the table: "Bullshit! My baby is the cutest baby in the world! Don't you all know what a mermaid baby is worth?"
Long Qian: "I don't care what kind of cub you are! My child is the cutest in my heart, the best cub in the world!"
Waiters: ...
How should this be written? The two kings, arguing about whose child was cutest, slammed their fists on the table and started yelling at each other, causing chaos in the room…
Forget it, let's delete this one to protect the king's image.
"Stop arguing," Emperor Chongle, who had been silent until now, spoke. His imposing presence was natural and his expression was unreadable. The tassels on his crown were lowered, and one could only guess his mood from his voice. He made the final decision.
"Orphan children are the cutest."
The entire meeting room fell silent for a moment.
Osiris wanted to argue, as is typical of the merfolk who value appearance, but his tribesmen kept reminding him about the search for his child, so Osiris could only declare:
"You just wait! Once I find my son, I'll show you what a truly blessed face looks like!"
Osiris's words offended several kings present.
They don't even know where their child is now.
After Osiris hurriedly left, the waiter, noticing the kings' dark complexions, cautiously asked:
"Your Majesty, shall we continue the meeting?"
All the kings dispersed and left in tacit agreement.
Why bother with the meeting? I've lost all interest here. Let's go find the kids!
Meanwhile, the baby had a comfortable sleep and a hearty breakfast awaited him when he woke up in the morning. His father and brother took turns holding him and feeding him. He was living the life of a happy baby.
After eating, the little boy sat on the living room carpet and played with his toys. Zhou Jinze stayed with him. No one knows what Zhou Jinze said to his older brother during his breakdown last night, but from today onwards, the older brother still found Zhou Jinze pleasing to the eye.
Even with Zhou Jinze by his side, his father and brother remained close by, never leaving his side. The monsters had lost their cubs for a very long time, and their reunion made them all the more precious, so much so that they wanted to keep the cubs tied to their bodies and watch over them closely.
In addition, they are now idle monsters who don't need to go to work and can just stay with their cubs as a sweet and happy family.
As the toddler was playing, he suddenly tried to stand up and walk while holding onto the table. Even though there was a thick carpet on the floor, his father and older brother became nervous.
The father stretched out his arm and gently supported the baby from behind. Every time he thought the baby was about to fall, the baby miraculously held on.
But such a soft little body and such a heart-pounding feeling only made the father's heart pound.
The older brother couldn't help but sigh:
"At this moment, I wish my baby were the same vulnerable baby who needed us. He could only rely on us, and wouldn't run around or get hurt or suffer pain."
The monster's love was more persistent and profound than that of ordinary people; he would rather take care of the cub for a lifetime than let the cub suffer any pain.
But when the older brother thought about how Qianyuan had left them while she was sick, he couldn't bear to part with her. In the end, he could only think about whether he should spoil the little one even more and raise him to be a child who only depends on his father and older brother.
It's okay to be a little coquettish, as long as you don't get hurt and don't leave them.
They're so fragile; if they were to fall, they'd be heartbroken.
But the cubs persevered, practicing walking step by step, becoming more and more skilled.
Until he slowly walked from the other end of the room toward them and threw himself into their arms.
Only then did the monsters realize the joy of the cubs running towards them.
The cub no longer needs excessive pampering from his family. His soul is full and resilient, and he can now reciprocate his family's love on his own.
The child nestled between his father and brother, noticing that both family members seemed slightly dazed. So, he decisively kissed them, one on each side, until they forgot all their worries.
After comforting the anxious adults, the cubs have to go back to comforting their childhood sweethearts.
"Don't be jealous, don't be jealous. The baby will take care of you in the future..."
Zhou Jinze glanced at the baby. The baby had a bib he'd tied, buttons that had been refastened, and shoelaces that he'd tied. If Zhou Jinze were to wait for the baby to take care of him, then Qian Yuan would probably only have that opportunity if Zhou Jinze was always in front of her…
Before this, Zhou Jinze's life was to take care of Qian Yuan.
However, Zhou Jinze still appreciated the baby's cheek kissing technique. The two rosy-cheeked children held hands, and their awkwardness was resolved in less than a minute.
The boy was laughing happily. This level of serving water was now a piece of cake for him.
But the more lucky he was, the bigger the carnage that followed...
The merfolk had found the orphanage, and Gobert, standing nearby, presented a report to Osiris:
"The late king, your whereabouts disappeared right here."
Qianyuan has already held a coronation ceremony, and since no new king has appeared among the merfolk, the merfolk still need to respectfully address Qianyuan as king.
Osiris has always said that he is only governing the merfolk on behalf of his own children, and that he will return the throne to Qianyuan when she returns.
But is the child he longs for here today?
Osiris knocked on the door of the orphanage.
The dean pushed open the door and saw that the legendary merman king, who had offered a large reward for his son's return, had also come looking for him. He was then hypnotized by the merman's song, so he could only confess with tears in his eyes:
"Your child lives in the villa not far away; he has a family now..."
