The cub raised its head and saw Emperor Chongle's face.
Kid: ...
"Enough! What kind of behavior is this, fighting like this? Human Emperor, return the cub to the merman."
The cub turned its head and saw Shen Qianyu trying to mediate the fight, and the zombie emperor Long Qian watching from the sidelines.
Kid: ...
Osiris took the cub back, glanced at it, and then flew into a rage:
"What did you do to my baby?! He seems a bit dead?!"
It was only then that Shen Qianyu realized that he had met this child once before.
It turned out to be that child from the orphanage.
Compared to the tyrannical Emperor Chongle and the arrogant Mermaid King, Shen Qianyu is more composed and possesses the tolerance and majesty befitting a king.
He carefully observed the cub's expression and calmly said, "It's probably because the people present were too intimidating and frightened the child. Just go back and comfort it. Mermaid King, you should take the child and go back first."
The cub remained silent, and surprisingly, his identity was not discovered. He breathed a sigh of relief and nestled in Osiris's arms. But when it was time to leave, he turned his head and stole a glance at Emperor Chong Le with a hint of reluctance.
He met Emperor Chongle's deep gaze.
The cub: It was so scared that its fur stood on end.
He slowly, very slowly shrank off Osiris's shoulder and snuggled into Osiris's arms, but he couldn't help but secretly look at Shen Qianyu and Long Qian.
Shen Qianyu's gaze was weathered, and her eyes held a deep longing as she looked at him.
The cub almost wanted to jump into Shen Qianyu's arms.
Meanwhile, Long Qian was also staring intently at the cub. He seemed to be still shocked as he looked at it, wondering why he was paying attention to someone else's child.
But the baby really looks like his cub.
He might be a bit crazy, which is why he thinks every child looks like his one and only child.
When Osiris returned with the cub, he found that the cub was no longer dead, but it was listless and looked dejected.
"What's wrong, honey? Were you scared by that fierce-looking guy?"
The cub shook its head, nestled in Osiris's arms, feeling that it was a bad child for not acknowledging its fathers.
But is meeting someone really a good thing?
The dads really don't seem like they'll get along, unless they each have one child...
But the baby really doesn't have mitosis!
He's so useless.
The cub sat in Osiris's arms, tears streaming down its face.
Osiris tried to soothe the cub for a long time but to no avail. He could only call his monster father. When the cub saw his monster father, it barely mustered its strength and smiled at him.
The monster father was so anxious that he was about to cross the communication channel to find his child, but Zhou Jinze persuaded him with great difficulty, otherwise the cub might have had to consider splitting himself into five equal parts.
The little one has become reluctant to go out. In this situation, running away is shameful, but he can only pretend to be a turtle.
To avoid other fathers, they would even wake Osiris up in the middle of the night to eat, so that Osiris would be half asleep and take the cubs out to find food.
But Zai never expected that even though he was having dinner in the middle of the night and his sleep schedule was completely messed up, he would still run into Emperor Chong Le!
Doesn't Daddy sleep right now?
But in reality, Emperor Chongle was gambling on his son.
He sat on the terrace, cross-legged, cultivating and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, but half of his attention was also on the cubs inside the house.
There's no other reason than that Emperor Chongle wasn't stupid; of course, he was suspicious of this little brat who would run into his arms to sleep.
Aside from his own children, no one would act exactly like the cub, so dependent on Emperor Chong Le, so longingly inhaling his father's scent.
Osiris also saw the figure of Emperor Chongle cultivating from afar, but he just cautiously held the cub in his arms tighter, as if guarding against all kinds of human traffickers who coveted his cub.
"Don't look, baby, let's eat."
Osiris was adjusting to the time difference with the cub, and his handsome face was covered with dark circles under his eyes, but he was still as gentle as ever with the cub.
This is the pain that fathers with children have to endure.
While Osiris used his claws to cut sashimi for the cub, he also tried to feed it fat. As always, the cub was a picky eater, so Osiris could only feed it instant noodles.
While Osiris clumsily boiled water, the Emperor Chongle, sitting outside, tempted the cubs like an unattainable white moonlight.
The cub couldn't resist and quietly swam behind Emperor Chongle, secretly watching him.
Emperor Chongle did not seem to react.
So the cub boldly approached, tugged at Emperor Chongle's sleeve, and then quickly hid behind a pillar.
Emperor Chongle still did not react.
The cub moved a little closer this time, carefully nestling into Emperor Chongle's arms and burying his face in them.
Just one second, even just one second.
He misses his father.
But just as he was lightly rubbing against Emperor Chongle's clothes, a soft sigh came from above his head.
Then, a pair of large hands embraced him.
"Got you."
The cub opened its eyes and looked at Emperor Chongle as he leaned down to meet his gaze:
"Whose child are you? Why do you keep sleeping next to me?"
"If you are not my son, how dare you approach me?"
Emperor Chongle's tone grew colder and colder, making the cub feel a little scared and aggrieved. He was about to say: I am your child.
Fortunately, Osiris returned at that moment and snatched the cub back from Emperor Chongle's arms as quickly as possible.
"You've tried to take my child time and time again, what are your true intentions? Don't you have your own children?!"
Osiris's words crossed Emperor Chongle's bottom line, and the emperor's face turned as black as a demon:
"Mermaid King, you have already chosen your own death."
Before the cub could react, the two fathers started fighting again. The cub panicked and spun around frantically. In this critical moment, he thought of Shen Qianyu and hurriedly tried to find her.
But the little one knocked on the wrong door.
He knocked on Long Qian's door.
"Oh, the merman king's cub."
Long Qian's scarlet eyes fell on the cub, his gaze sweeping over it from head to toe, but his tone remained icy:
"What do you want? I'm not your father, don't come here crying at night."
But when the cub, with tears in its eyes and a pitiful expression, begged him for help, Long Qian still rushed out with the cub in his arms, even disregarding his own body, and crashed into the two who were fighting, sacrificing his own body to separate them.
"!!!"
The cub watched helplessly as Long Qian expressionlessly offered up his own body, relying on the zombie king's terrifying regenerative ability and ignoring the wounds that were repeatedly healing itself. The cub was going crazy.
How did Dad become like this? He doesn't cherish himself at all!
The cub ran to his side, circled around him, and tenderly touched his wounds, just like Long Qian's child.
Long Qian didn't even have the strength to refuse the cub, and could only watch as the cub snuggled up to him and used its mermaid-like voice to heal his wounds.
