Chapter 58: Chapter 58: These Damn Men, Are They Messing With Me?

Shen Yue was completely buried in flower petals.

The weight wasn’t heavy, but it wasn’t light either, and it all pressed down on her.

Shen Yue: "..."

The corner of her mouth twitched.

’What the heck is this?’

’I asked for romance, not for them to build me a grave.’

"Female mother!"

"Female mother, are you okay?"

"Female mother, come out quick! Qibao is here to save you!"

Dabao frantically dug Shen Yue out while tilting his head up to the sky, asking in a fierce, babyish voice,

"Which bad guy dumped these petals! My female mother is buried! You bad guy!"

In the air, hidden in the shadows, Ye Lüqi slapped one of his men.

"How did you scatter them? I told you to scatter the petals, not dump them!"

The subordinate’s head throbbed from the blow. He shrank back and said,

"My King, my hand slipped just now. It’s this subordinate’s fault."

"So what should we do now, my King? Do we keep scattering?"

Ye Lüqi glanced down below. Seeing Shen Yue being dug out by the little cubs, he couldn’t help but facepalm.

"Scatter what? Can’t you see my son and Shen Yue are both angry? You idiot."

The three subordinates were so scared they didn’t dare to breathe.

Meanwhile, the others in the shadows smirked, looking at Ye Lüqi with ridicule.

Mu Silin, in particular, shot Ye Lüqi a contemptuous look. ’More of a hindrance than a help!’

After Shen Yue stood up, she was truly speechless.

Looking at the courtyard, now covered so thick with petals there was nowhere to step, she thought, ’But I just finished cleaning it!!’

Worse, her stone pot and the fried eggs were covered in petals, and the fire she had just started was smothered!

’Dammit!’

Furious, she shot a fierce glare upwards.

Ye Lüqi caught her glare.

The hairs on his neck stood up guiltily.

’Did Shen Yue see me?’

’No way, right?’

His subordinate beside him said,

"My King, don’t worry. Miss Shen Yue can’t see us!"

Ye Lüqi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Female mother, the courtyard is covered in petals. What do we do?"

Below, the sensible Dabao asked.

Shen Yue looked at the thick layer of petals covering the ground, helpless.

"What else can we do? Your female mother will just have to clean it up again!"

These petals couldn’t be left piled on the ground. If it rained, they would rot and grow fungus and microbes.

A small amount would be fine, but such a thick layer would temporarily affect the environment, the air quality, and the children’s breathing.

Hearing this, the thoughtful Dabao quickly ran to grab a small broom.

"Then Dabao will help female mother sweep!"

Ye Lüqi instantly looked at Dabao, filled with guilt.

’I’ve unintentionally given my own son a chore to do!’

’How can my Dabao be so considerate?’

Qibao, on the other hand, was happily stepping on the petals with her little bare feet.

"Female mother, it’s so soft and fun!"

The little one’s blue hair stood out even more vividly against the petals, and her delicate little face was crinkled into a smile.

She was like an Elf on earth.

Watching her, Lan Cangyue’s heart filled with bubbly delight.

’My daughter is so adorable, so beautiful!’

’Shen Yue is so good at having babies. I like it so much. I really want to hug my soft little daughter.’

Liubao and Wubao were also comfortably rolling around on the petals.

They were having a great time, their laughter filling the air.

Watching Liubao play-fighting on top of Wubao, covered in petals, his foxy eyes narrowed into slits as he giggled in a babyish voice.

Bai Chaosi and his two subordinates stood in the shadows, their hearts melting.

’That’s our Young Master, so cute!’

’Miss Shen Yue is raising our Young Master so well. He looks so clean, fair, and carefree. He’s so cute our hearts are melting.’

Meanwhile, in another part of the shadows, Huang Ziyue’s gaze softened as he watched Sanbao, who stood there like a little block of ice.

After a hundred years, the Flood Dragon Clan had finally welcomed its first cub.

He was the only new life in the clan, the focus of all their affection and hope.

Although the Flood Dragon Clan had a cold temperament, it seemed his son was even colder than him. Look at him standing there, a perfect little ice block.

In the shadows, each of the fathers’ gazes was fixed on his own son, and the more they looked, the more they liked what they saw.

Shen Yue watched this group of little cubs, her heart touched.

She walked over, scooped Little Qi into her arms, and affectionately pressed her forehead against hers while spinning in circles.

"Our Xi Xi likes this, huh? In that case, how about female mother waits for Xi Xi to finish playing before cleaning up, okay?"

In her arms, Little Qi giggled happily.

Her laughter was like a mountain bell, pleasant and soothing.

"Okay! Female mother is the best! Xi Xi loves female mother the most! Mwah~"

First thing in the morning, Shen Yue’s neck was hugged by the little girl, who gave her a sweet, sticky SMOOCH.

That sweet little kiss was enough to warm her entire heart.

This was the charm of having a soft, cuddly daughter.

Hearing what Shen Yue said, Dabao also put down the little broom in his hands and ran over.

"If Qibao likes it, then Big Brother won’t sweep either! I’ll wait until Qibao has had enough fun before I sweep!"

Qibao happily jumped down from Shen Yue’s arms.

"Mhm, mhm! Big Brother is the best! Qibao likes Big Brother the most too."

As she spoke, she planted a sweet kiss on Dabao’s face.

SMOOCH!

Dabao’s little face immediately flushed red. He covered his cheeks, overjoyed.

"Yay! Little sister kissed me!"

When the other little ones heard this, they all ran over.

"Little sister, I want one too!"

"Er Bao wants a kiss from little sister too!"

"Wubao wants one too!"

Laughter from the little cubs and Shen Yue filled the entire courtyard. Anyone who saw this scene would find it warm and blissful.

Shen Yue sat amidst the flower petals, surrounded by her children, feeling that living this kind of life was quite peaceful.

There was food and drink, a place to live, pleasant air, and no one to bother her. It was simply too comfortable.

The only bad thing was the lack of security, and with winter fast approaching, she had to prepare for the harsh season.

So, after the children had finished playing on the petals and eaten their meal, Shen Yue planned to sweep up the petals and then go gather yellow earth and dry grass.

Who would have known that just as she picked up the broom to start cleaning,

a sudden gust of wind swept up from under her feet.

She froze.

The wind, like a passing tidal wave, precisely swept away all the petals on the ground in an instant.

Now she didn’t have to sweep.

But it also swept her up along with them.

"AHHH!!"

She screamed as she was sent flying, ending up dangling from the large tree at the courtyard entrance.

Shen Yue was so scared her soul nearly leaped out of her body. She roared at the empty air,

"Who did this!!"

’I’m so pissed!’

’These damn men, are they toying with me?!’

Below, the little cubs also screamed in fright.

"Female mother!!"

"Where did this big windy-wind come from!"

"Who did it? Who blew this wind to bully my female mother!"

"WAAAH! Er Bao wants female mother! Female mother, come down quick!"

"Wubao doesn’t want female mother in the tree! Wubao wants female mother to come down."

The little ones had never seen such a strong wind. They all ran to the base of the tree and looked up at Shen Yue, utterly terrified.

Wubao even extended his claws and started to climb the tree.

Seeing this, Shen Yue quickly tried to comfort them from above.

"Wubao, don’t come up! All of you, just stay down there and be good. It’s okay, don’t be scared!"

"Female mother will be right down!"

Huang Ziyue narrowed his eyes at the subordinate beside him.

"Who told you to use so much force?"

He’d told him to help deal with the petals on the ground, but he’d "dealt with" Shen Yue by sending her up a tree!!

The others in the shadows nearly died laughing.

’Who knew the people of the Flood Dragon Clan weren’t just mysterious, but also dumber than they’d imagined.’

The subordinate was also frightened. He shrank back and said,

"Great Emperor Master, this... who knew Miss Shen Yue was so light!"

He then continued,

"But, this is a perfect opportunity to save Miss Shen Yue! Great Emperor Master, you can use this chance to reveal yourself!"

Huang Ziyue’s eyelid twitched.

He considered whether he should use his spiritual power to get Shen Yue down from the tree.

As for revealing himself, he really wasn’t mentally prepared for that.

But then—

The branch Shen Yue was standing on suddenly snapped with a loud CRACK!

She plummeted from the tree.

Huang Ziyue was horrified.

Below, the little cubs all screamed in terror.

Shen Yue squeezed her eyes shut.

’This is it.’

’I’m definitely going to be crippled, if not dead!’

But instead, she fell solidly into a cold embrace.

Her eyes flew open.

And met a pair of cold, dark red eyes.
