Wouldn't it be better if I were his father?
A gentle smile appeared at the corners of Fu Ying's eyes as she took Changsheng from Danyue's hand.
The little guy's body is smooth, and his arms and calves, which are like lotus root nodes, are very white and tender, and plump. Every round curve shows the traces of careful feeding and care. You can tell at a glance that he is a cub that grew up in a blessed home.
As soon as he fell into his mother's arms, Changsheng immediately wrapped his soft little arms around Fuying's neck.
He tilted his head and stared at her profile for a long time. There was only his mother in his colorful pupils. After a while, he smiled sweetly. His rosy little mouth seemed to be dipped in honey. He put his mouth close to hers and gave her a smack, leaving a wet kiss on her cheek.
Teng glared at Changsheng's clingy look and couldn't help but snort from his nose. He stretched out his long arms and hugged the man.
"Little thing, your mother is still pregnant and can't stand you tossing and turning like this, so let your father hold you." Teng raised his long eyebrows, his dark green eyes full of teasing, and he took the opportunity to lift the heavy cub up.
Changsheng was not afraid of him, but just nestled in Teng's arms, his bright eyes still staring at his mother, his pink little mouth slightly pouting, and he didn't show much enthusiasm for Teng.
Fu Ying turned around and glanced at Teng with a hint of surprise. He couldn't help but repeat, "Father?"
She clearly remembered that Teng was very dissatisfied with Buye Hou, even disgusted with him, and he was always impatient with Changsheng. Now, in just two months, his attitude has changed drastically, which is really hard to understand.
Teng held Changsheng in one hand and pinched Changsheng's soft and tender face with the other hand, causing the little guy to twist in dissatisfaction.
A playful smile appeared at the corner of his lips. "Danyue will soon welcome his own bloodline. He can't be occupied by this little thing forever. Wouldn't it be better if I could be his father?"
As he spoke, Teng's slender fingertips brushed across the butterfly pattern on Changsheng's cheek, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his dark green eyes.
Bai Cang narrowed his amber eyes slightly and glanced at Teng with a smile, but didn't point it out.
Naturally, Teng wouldn't be so kind, he just wanted to make things difficult for Marquis Buye.
Just imagine, when the Marquis of Buye sees his cub calling him "Father Teng" in the future, huh.
Fu Ying glanced at Teng, seeing through his thoughts, and shook his head helplessly. These men, no matter how old they are, still have the childishness and ambition of teenagers in their bones.
She reached out to take Changsheng, and the little guy's brows immediately relaxed, with a sweet smile in his colorful pupils. He was completely different from the reluctant look he had shown in Teng's arms.
Fu Ying held Changsheng in his arms, his eyes fixed on the pool of water that was shimmering with light.
"Is that sea water?" Although the words were inquiring, the tone was firm.
She had just thought that the smell of the salty sea water was due to these decorations, but now she understood that Danyue had actually dug through the barrier between the Black Crocodile Swamp and the sea, bringing in such a vast expanse of blue water.
Such a large project can be called moving mountains and filling the sea, and I don’t know how much effort it took.
Danyue hummed lightly and naturally took Changsheng back into her arms.
He gently stroked the cub's back with his fingertips, but his eyes lingered on Fuying's bulging belly, fearing that she was tired.
"It was Bai Cang's suggestion. The mermaid cubs had to be born in the sea, so to prevent any accidents, they thought of creating a waterway leading to the sea. Thanks to the help of the tribe members, this place is not far from the sea, and it took some time to complete the waterway. From now on, the cubs can play in it and learn to hunt sea beasts. It's very convenient."
Having said that, Danyue turned her head to look at Bai Cang, nodded at him, and her eyes were filled with sincere gratitude.
The corners of Bai Cang's narrow eyes curled up in a strange arc: "We are all Ah Ying's partners, it's only natural."
Fu Ying sighed softly and turned to look around.
The Black Crocodile Swamp, once gloomy and damp and favored by wandering orcs, has now been transformed.
Bamboo houses are scattered here, and there are thorn fences everywhere. Clear streams and blue seas meet here. Although there are not many people, it has the scale of a tribe and is a very suitable Feng Shui place for orcs to live.
Even if she is not here in the future, the males and the cubs can live well.
"When will Aying give birth?" Ting looked at Fuying's unusually large belly, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
Tan Yue also lowered her eyes to look, her light blue eyes intertwined with anticipation and worry. She whispered, "It should be in the next few days, but the cold season is approaching and the sea water has turned cold. I just hope the cub can be born before the snow falls."
Before he finished speaking, several males fell silent at the same time.
Fu Ying, however, was calm and composed. She reached out and gently stroked her abdomen. "The baby will come when it's time. There's no need to rush. The hunting season is almost over, so we should start preparing as soon as possible."
After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Qinglan and Teng: "The season is approaching, do you want to go back to the tribe?"
Among the males, only Qinglan and Teng followed her after leaving the tribe. Now it is almost the cold season, and just like the rainy season, it is full of dangers. They should return to the tribe to help store some prey.
Although Danyue is the leader of the mermaid tribe, he naturally cannot leave because his cubs are about to be born.
Moreover, now that the Black Crocodile Swamp is connected to the sea, it is no longer difficult for the mermaids to travel back and forth.
Hearing Fu Ying's words, Qinglan's body paused slightly, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his gray-brown eyes stared deeply at Fu Ying.
He left the tribe in the beginning to look for Fuying who fell into the mudslide, and wanted to make up for his mistake. Now so much time has passed, and he has not been back during the rainy season. It would be a lie to say that he is not worried, because there are not only his tribesmen there, but also his mother.
Fu Ying smiled faintly and winked gently at Qinglan.
In an instant, a smile appeared in Qinglan's eyes, and the frost disappeared, as if thousands of pear trees were in full bloom.
He whispered, "It's time to go back and take a look, but I will definitely return before the snow falls."
Fu Ying nodded, a smile playing on her red lips.
"What about you?" Fu Ying turned to look at Teng who was standing quietly beside him.
When Yu Ji left, it was because Bai Cang's identity as a fallen orc was exposed, and he had a dispute with the tribesmen. He also happened to meet the people of the Tengmu tribe who came to the Cangshan tribe to seek refuge. Now, time has passed and he doesn't know what the situation of the tribe is like.
Teng lazily raised his eyelids, his dark green pupils full of indifference.
He leaned against a bamboo pillar and shook his head, saying, "Snakes are inherently cold-hearted. Since you've left the tribe, there's no need to go back."
Fu Ying carefully observed his calm expression, confirming that there was no compulsion in it, and then softly said, "Okay."
Not far away, Lai Shiba was watching the few people quietly. Listening to Fu Ying's careful planning for his partners, he couldn't help but feel a sour ripple in his heart. When would he be able to become a female partner?
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Yu Li, who was as pitiful as himself.
That guy returned to the tribe but didn't come back with him, leaving him alone here and isolated. It was really hard for him to get used to it.
