Chapter 85: I’m Your Real Father, How Could I Lie to You?

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: I’m Your Real Father, How Could I Lie to You?

Shen Yue stared, dumbfounded, at Bai Chaosi, who was now splattered with mud.

"You iceberg, what are you doing?"

Huang Ziyue didn’t say a word.

The next second, he simply raised his hand, and the tree on the ground automatically fell into the large pit.

Then, the soil to the side, as if under command, covered the tree’s roots.

In an instant, an apricot tree laden with fruit stood tall in the courtyard.

Not only was Bai Chaosi covered in a pile of mud, but he also saw the job he was about to do get stolen from him.

His gentle face turned cold, and a quiet fire smoldered in his eyes.

"Aren’t you going a little too far?!"

Huang Ziyue shot him a cold glance.

"You’re too flashy. You’re an eyesore to this Emperor’s Master."

After speaking, he turned, grabbed his plastering trowel, and flew up to continue plastering the mud walls.

Shen Yue’s mouth twitched.

’That mouth is too vicious.’

She could hardly bear to look at Bai Chaosi. Seeing the resentful, indignant look on his face, he looked so wronged!

’Such a handsome and clean person, almost turned into a mud man.’

’Outrageous. That iceberg is just too much.’

Bai Chaosi glared at Huang Ziyue’s back, grinding his teeth in anger, but he couldn’t just start a fight with him in front of Shen Yue.

His dark cyan eyes reddened slightly as he looked at Shen Yue.

"This is the apricot tree I dug up for you. I was going to plant it for you with my own hands, but it was..."

Hearing the hint of grievance in his tone, Shen Yue’s eyes twitched, and her heart felt a little tingle...

She wondered if she should say something to comfort him.

But then, Lan Cangyue, who was standing nearby, chimed in.

"If you’re so wronged, why don’t you make another trip, dig up a new one, and plant it with your own hands?"

Lan Cangyue raised his narrow eyes, his face a picture of schadenfreude.

Ye Lüqi also fanned the flames from the side.

"Yeah, look how heartbroken you are. If you feel bad about not being able to plant the tree yourself, just go dig up another one, carry it back, and plant it!"

’Since you love digging up trees and showing off so much, we’ll let you dig and show off to your heart’s content!’

That’s what the two of them were thinking.

But Bai Chaosi’s expression didn’t change at all. Instead, he looked at Shen Yue gently, his voice soft.

"As long as you like it, it’s no trouble to go dig up another one. Do you want me to plant it myself? If you do, I can go again!"

Lan Cangyue and Ye Lüqi were left speechless.

’This damn fox! Give him an inch, and he’ll take a mile!’

’He’s just running with it.’

Shen Yue met Bai Chaosi’s sincere and gentle eyes and was once again struck by an electric current, feeling as if she were being sucked into the affection within them.

She quickly cleared her throat.

"One is enough. If we plant too many, we won’t be able to eat all the fruit. You should go wash up and get some rest!"

Bai Chaosi’s lips immediately curved into a smile.

He beamed with happiness, and his voice was so soft it could have been made of water.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you. I knew you cared about me and couldn’t bear to let me go again."

As he spoke, a triumphant glint appeared in his eyes as he slowly swept his gaze over the two dumbfounded men beside him.

Ye Lüqi and Lan Cangyue’s eyes went wide.

’That flashy fox!’

’Shen Yue couldn’t bear to let him go? How could he be so shameless?’

Bai Chaosi’s velvety tone made Shen Yue’s heart itch, and her mouth felt dry.

’This guy is too good at flirting.’

’A true charmer.’

’I definitely can’t stay around this fox for too long. His looks will make me lose my mind.’

Just then, the little ones woke up.

They all came running out.

"Female mother!"

They were overjoyed to see the apricot tree planted in the courtyard!

"Wow, so many fruits!"

"What a pretty tree!"

"We can eat the fruits!"

Shen Yue smiled. "You’re all awake? Come, let your female mother give you a hug!"

Qibao was the first to leap into her arms. "Female mother, hug!"

The little girl’s eyes were still misty from sleep, making her look incredibly cute.

Shen Yue held Qibao and gave her a kiss.

"Is our Qibao happy to see the pretty fruit tree as soon as she woke up?"

Qibao clapped her little hands. "Happy, happy!"

Wubao, unable to wait, started climbing the tree, wanting to pick some fruit.

His sharp little claws helped him climb quite fast.

Shen Yue saw him and called out, "Wubao, be careful not to fall!"

Wubao climbed steadily.

"Wubao is amazing, Wubao won’t fall!"

At that moment, Liu Bao walked over. Bai Chaosi, forgetting about the mud on his body, crouched down.

"Liu Bao, Father specially dug up this apricot tree for you. Do you like it?"

Liu Bao looked at Bai Chaosi, who was plastered in mud like a mud man.

"Hmph. Dirty."

With a glance from his little eyes, he turned away in disdain to play with Dabao and the others.

Bai Chaosi was left speechless.

Compared to their cautiousness in the morning, the little ones had loosened up a lot.

They all played happily under the tree.

While playing, Er Bao fell into a pile of yellow mud and got covered in it.

He tried shaking it off for a long time but couldn’t, and he started wailing in fright.

"Er Bao is dirty! Er Bao doesn’t want to be dirty!"

Mu Silin, who was plastering the wall above, quickly descended.

"Er Bao, don’t be afraid. How about Father takes you to get washed up?"

The fur on Er Bao’s back stood on end.

"No, you bad guy!"

Mu Silin was left speechless.

’This child has absolutely no good feelings toward me.’

’At this rate, when will I ever get on good terms with Shen Yue? When will I be able to openly take my place as a Beast Husband?’

He thought for a moment, and an idea struck him. He coaxed the child.

"Er Bao, Father knows you want to transform. Actually, Father can teach you how."

Hearing this, Er Bao retracted his fierce little fangs slightly.

He looked at him, somewhat disbelievingly.

"Really?"

Seeing he had a chance, Mu Silin said,

"Of course. Father is your real father, would I lie to you?"

As he spoke, he waved the plastering trowel in his hand.

"Look how amazing Father is. You’re my biological son, so you can’t be bad either. It’s just that you haven’t mastered the method to transform yet! That’s why you need Father to teach you, step-by-step."

Er Bao watched the trowel spinning rapidly in mid-air and grew excited.

"Wow, that’s really amazing!"

Mu Silin pressed his advantage.

"So, Er Bao, do you want Father to teach you?"

Er Bao thought for a moment. He wasn’t easy to fool. In a fiercely cute voice, he said,

"My female mother said I can’t transform because it’s not time yet. I’m not going to believe you!"

With a flick of his little ears, he was about to turn and leave.

Mu Silin inwardly cursed. ’This isn’t good.’ He grabbed him and, in a low voice, tried to both threaten and entice him.

"Don’t go, Er Bao. Father can promise you, I’ll definitely have you transforming within five days. How about it?"

Er Bao blinked his eyes.

"No!"

’Female mother said not to trust strangers.’

"Three days. If you can’t transform within three days, Father will admit defeat."

Er Bao stopped in his tracks. He sounded a little swayed, and a conflicted expression appeared on his little face.

Mu Silin immediately raised a hand.

"Father promises, I will absolutely not lie to Er Bao. Just trust Father, okay? If Father loses, you can punish me by not letting me eat for three days. How about that?"

The little guy thought about it seriously.

"Not eating for three days will starve a person to death. Er Bao isn’t that mean."

Hearing this, Mu Silin’s heart warmed. ’So the little guy does have some affection for me after all!’

’He doesn’t hate me as much as I thought!’

’As expected of my own son.’

But who would have known...

"If you lose, you have to take off all your clothes and let female mother cut your butt!"

Mu Silin was instantly petrified!!

’What?’

’Cut his butt?’

"HAHAHA! This is killing this king."

Ye Lüqi, who had been eavesdropping from the side the whole time, burst into loud laughter.

"Excellent! What an excellent bet!"

"This king heard that loud and clear. Haha, Black Panther, you better not go back on your word or try to weasel out of it. We all heard you!"
