Chapter 313 - 311: Who Has Seven Cubs in One Litter?

Chapter 313: Chapter 311: Who Has Seven Cubs in One Litter?

In a flash, the group appeared before the Mermaid King, the Queen, and the Sea Witch.

The guards in the grand hall rushed in, but they were too late to stop them.

"Who are you?!"

The Mermaid King and the Queen’s eyes widened, staring at the eight terrifyingly powerful figures that had suddenly materialized before them.

Before they could speak, Shen Yue, wearing a veil, narrowed her eyes and swept her gaze over the Mermaid King and the Queen.

"Where is my daughter?"

Upon hearing her words, the pair’s expressions tightened. ’Her daughter? Could this veiled woman in red be Xi Xi’s female mother?’

Before the Mermaid King and the Queen could react, Shen Yue spotted the coral bed behind the sheer curtain.

She rushed over in two strides, and her breath caught in her chest.

On the bed, Little Qi was barely breathing, her small mermaid tail lying limp.

Her once-vibrant, powder-blue scales were now dull and lifeless. Her eyes were shut tight, and her breath was as faint as a silken thread...

The faint rise and fall of her chest was almost imperceptible.

The little one seemed to be trapped in a nightmare, her brow furrowed in extreme pain.

A lump formed in Shen Yue’s throat as tears instantly welled up in her eyes. ’My daughter, my soft, sweet, adorable daughter...’

"Little Qi, Qibao..."

She reached out to pick Qibao up.

The Queen and the Mermaid King finally reacted.

"Insolence! Who are you?"

"Let go of the Princess! Don’t you dare touch her!"

Huang Ziyue, Mu Silin, Bai Chaosi, and the others instantly fixed their glares on the Queen and the Mermaid King for scolding Shen Yue.

The oppressive aura radiating from them nearly froze the entire grand hall.

The Queen and the Mermaid King stiffened. Even the Sea Witch tightened her grip on her scepter.

Only then did the three of them get a clear look at the leader of the men. He wore a dark red cloak, and the conspicuous Flood Dragon Horns on his head emitted a sinister, dark red glow.

’Is that... the Flood Dragon Clan??’

Then they saw the noble and stunningly handsome man beside him, dressed in a white robe that touched the floor. He was immaculate, as if surrounded by a halo of light, and had a pair of upright fox ears...

’Is that... a Nine-tailed White Fox?’

And next to him, the man in a shimmering crimson robe with proud wolf ears... ’Is-is that a Blood Wolf??’

And the one with golden hair and closed eyes, as divinely handsome as the Sun God... a Golden Lion...

The three of them stared, wide-eyed, their gazes shifting from Huang Ziyue to Si Muye and Yun Lie Ting...

When they saw Yun Lie Ting’s amber beast eyes, they realized... ’That’s the king of the hundred beasts of the forest!!’

Even though they lived deep under the sea year-round, it didn’t mean they were ignorant of the royal families of the land...

Any single one of these individuals could probably shake the entire Beast World Continent...

Yet now, they had all gathered in their Sea Clan Palace...

At that moment, the little cubs in the men’s arms also saw Xi Xi lying weakly on the coral bed behind them.

They all bared their fangs at the Queen and the Mermaid King, revealing their small but fierce-looking baby teeth.

"You big bullies, what did you do to Qibao??"

"How dare you hurt Qibao!!"

"Bad guys! Si Bao will bite you to death!"

With that, the little ones instantly leaped from the men’s arms and charged toward the Mermaid King and the Queen!

The Mermaid King’s eyes widened in horror as he watched the six children, all about Qibao’s age.

Every single one of them looked ready to fight to the death!

Sanbao, who had the strongest spiritual power, didn’t say a word. He directly transformed into his beast form, and in a flash...

A Little Flood Dragon, not too big and not too small, latched onto the Mermaid King’s leg with its teeth.

The Mermaid King yelped in pain and shock.

"Wait, you all..."

Seeing this, the other little ones gave him no chance to speak. The moment they pounced, they all shifted into their beast forms.

They clung to his tall frame and bit down hard.

In the blink of an eye, furry children were hanging off the Mermaid King’s arms, legs, and even his fins.

The Queen watched this scene in terror and cried out:

"Stop! Please stop! This is all a misunderstanding..."

Fortunately, the little ones knew not to harm females, so the Queen wasn’t attacked. She could only stomp her foot anxiously at the side...

The Sea Witch, gripping her scepter, her old face a mask of horror, glared angrily.

"What is the meaning of this?! Insolence! Guards! Guards, come and pull them off him at once!"

Hearing this, Huang Ziyue, Ye Lüqi, and the others unleashed their imposing auras.

They watched with narrowed eyes as the children swarmed the Mermaid King, showing no intention of stopping them.

The guards who had rushed into the room were paralyzed by this pressure, too terrified to move a muscle...

The Sea Witch was so furious he was practically sputtering, his large fins flushing red with rage.

The children knew their Fathers were backing them up, so they bit down even harder.

"We’ll get revenge for our little sister!"

"How dare you hurt our little sister!"

"Big bullies!!"

The Mermaid King already knew in his heart that these little cubs were the older brothers Xi Xi had mentioned.

’I can’t believe everything Xi Xi said was true!’

She really did have six older brothers.

He had thought Xi Xi was delirious from the high fever. How could any female give birth to seven cubs in one litter? It was simply beyond belief.

But he never imagined that the six children before him were truly from the same litter!!

He suppressed his shock, restraining his own power, and could only yelp in pain as he spun in place...

He didn’t dare use any force, trying only to gently shoo them off.

The noble and elegant Mermaid King, who had lived his entire life in dignity, was now being bitten by a few furballs and forced to dance as if on hot coals...

Seeing this, the Queen immediately spoke to Huang Ziyue, Mu Silin, and the others.

"Everyone, this is all a misunderstanding. We are Xi Xi’s Grandma and Grandfather. Xi Xi is our biological granddaughter. Why would we ever hurt her..."

"Please make the children stop. It would be terrible if anyone else saw this..."

Huang Ziyue, Bai Chaosi, and the others remained silent, the oppressive aura around them not diminishing in the slightest.

It was as if they hadn’t heard her. Their gazes were fixed on Shen Yue behind the curtain...

By now, Shen Yue had carefully picked up Xi Xi.

The tiny child in her arms was as light as a feather, as if a gust of wind could blow her away...

Her heart twisted in agony. She hadn’t seen her for just half a month, yet Qibao, who was once as exquisitely carved as an Elf, now seemed like a porcelain doll on the verge of shattering...

She had lost her luster.

Her voice trembling slightly, she stroked her small body, her tone so gentle it was almost a whisper:

"Qibao, female mother is here. Don’t be afraid..."

She kissed her forehead again and again, finally holding her beloved daughter in her arms.

"Female mother is here. I won’t let anything happen to Qibao..."

The Queen looked at the woman holding Xi Xi...

Her red dress was stunning, and the aura around her was cold and terrifying, yet the look in her eyes as she gazed at Xi Xi was one of such gentle love.

She opened her mouth, as if to confirm:

"You... you’re Shen Yue? Xi Xi’s female mother?"

Lan Cangyue had said before that Xi Xi was his daughter with that ugly female from the Duke Mansion, Shen Yue.

The Mermaid King, who was still jumping around while being swarmed by the children, also stared over with wide eyes.

"You’re that ugly female from the Duke Mansion? Shen Yue?"

The moment the Mermaid King said this, the little ones roared in fury.

"My female mother is not an ugly female!"

"How dare you call my female mother ugly! I’ll bite you to death, you big-tailed fish!"

"My female mother is the most beautiful female mother in the whole world!"

The way the children defended Shen Yue was exactly the same as what Xi Xi had said when they first met her.

The Mermaid King knew he had misspoken and yelped as the bites intensified.

"Hey, alright, alright! OUCH! Hey, stop biting..."

"I misspoke! This king misspoke... Aiyah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Shen Yue walked out from behind the curtain, holding Xi Xi. Her brilliant eyes, filled with a cold light, landed on the Queen.

"What exactly happened to Xi Xi?"

The moment her cold, questioning voice rang out, the grand hall fell instantly silent.
