Chapter 395: Chapter 394: Mommy, Retribution Has Come

“Mother, Yu Zai? When did you give birth?!” Xueqiu’s eyes widened, their brain struggling to keep up.

The rest of the family was just as astonished, their silent questions hanging in the air as they stared at her.

Si Shuo smiled and explained what happened. “I’ve read books about this. Ahem, it’s probably because Blue Whales are so massive. Unlike humans, they don’t need to dilate, so the birth is very quick. I didn’t even have time to react before the two little ones were born.”

The children clamored to see the Yu Zai. ’Blue Whale Cubs! Just thinking about it is so cool!’

Si Shuo chuckled and nodded. “After your Father Gong You gets back from taking the cubs out, we’ll go play in his sea domain. You’ll have to bring your own boats.”

Hearing this, the children immediately turned to their fathers to ask for little boats.

However, among the men in the family, only Xiao Cheng and Wei Ce could create solid objects. The others controlled intangible elements like lightning, ice, wind, or fire.

But metal and stone are denser than water, so they would just sink to the bottom.

The Si Teng hanging from Ji Nuan’s neck, adorned with the Warm Jade, couldn’t resist poking her. It then leaped off her neck, carefully placing the Warm Jade in her palm. Landing on the ground, the Si Teng began to expand and twist, transforming into a wooden raft! What’s more, its head and tail turned into oars that could row automatically.

The children couldn’t help but cheer, and they all summoned their own Si Tengs, which took the shape of wooden rafts, wicker baskets, and even treehouses. Although they didn’t have Xue Zhu’s Beast Taming superpower, the Spirit Plants their mother had given them were pretty amazing too!

Besides, Mother had created these Spirit Plants for them at birth, and their fathers fed them Spiritual Power every day. Each one was like a little pet, able to understand simple commands. They would even serve tea and water during training, and act as handy helpers during playtime. They had truly become the children’s little companions and a part of the family!

And so, after Gong You finished feeding the cubs and taking them for a swim, he used his Teleportation to return, only to find a pile of little cubs clinging to his legs.

“Father, we want to play with the Yu Zai!”

“We want to see our little brother and sister…”

“We’ve got our wooden rafts ready…”

Gong You chuckled and ruffled their hair. He looked up and saw Si Shuo, who also had an eager expression on her face. He patted each child on the head, sending them one by one into his sea domain, before taking Si Shuo’s hand and vanishing on the spot.

Although the sea domain had its limits, it was shrouded in a thick mist that made the ocean appear vast and boundless.

The entire area was under Gong You’s control, so the children didn’t have to worry about being targeted by High-level Fish Beasts. With their Si Tengs looking after them, they could play on the water’s surface to their hearts’ content.

The two Blue Whale Cubs floated on the surface, happily shaking their heads and wagging their tails.

“Little Blue, I’m your big brother, Kunzi…”

Si Shuo shot them a glare, but before she could say anything, Jiao Tang shouted, “Little Hai, I’m your fourth brother, Jiao Tang…”

“Little Jing, I’m your big sister, Youyou…”

“Tie Zhu, I’m your second brother, Tuanzi…”

Si Shuo gritted her teeth in frustration. “Gong You, we haven’t even named the Yu Zai yet, and they’re already calling out names?” Not wanting to be outdone, each of the children was shouting the name they had picked.

Gong You chuckled. “The children said that in your heritage, elders who dote on the younger generation like to give them humble nicknames. They say it helps them grow up strong and healthy.”

“Hmph! The way I see it, they’re just terrible at coming up with names. If they think those are so great, they should change their own nicknames,” Si Shuo huffed. “These are your cubs, too. Aren’t you going to do something?”

The smile hadn’t left Gong You’s face since the moment the cubs were born. To be precise, ever since Si Shuo had become pregnant with his children, nothing in the world could have made him frown.

“I’m not worried. Our family’s Yu Zai don’t just have a Father, you know. Their Mother is the one with the final say on names!”

Si Shuo had never seen this silly side of Gong You before. She couldn’t help but smile as she hugged him and nuzzled against his chest.

Gong You held her waist tightly, his expression shifting slightly. “Sweetheart, the kids are all here…”

Si Shuo smiled, pressing her lips together. She leaned in and whispered in his ear, “Gong You, no matter what I turn into, you’ll always be able to find me, right?”

Gong You nodded. “Of course!” To say nothing of how well he knew her, his ability to use Teleportation to appear by her side at any moment gave him the confidence to make that promise.

“Then come and find me. If you do, I’ll spend the night with you,” Si Shuo said with a smile. She then transformed into a mermaid and, with a flick of her tail, swam away.

Gong You sucked in a sharp breath. ’Now that’s a real reward!’ He narrowed his eyes, watching her cheerful figure. To play along, he deliberately waited for a long moment. He watched as she swam into the distance, headed for a school of Silverfish, and… vanished?

His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly swam over. But there was no sign of her! ’If I’m not mistaken,’ he thought, ’she must have turned into a Silverfish.’

Sure enough, he spotted a single little silver fish in the school that was clumsy and dazed, constantly falling behind or getting lost!

Gong You couldn’t help but stifle a laugh, tears welling up in his eyes. ’Oh my, how can my beloved be so adorable?’

It made sense. Even when she had transformed into a behemoth like his Blue Whale form, she could barely catch any fish. She could only watch in frustration as the school of Silverfish taunted her, darting about right under her nose until she cried out, shaking her head and thrashing her tail in anger. But now she had turned into a Silverfish—a type of Fish Beast that needed superb swimming skills to survive and evade predators.

Having just jumped in, she naturally couldn’t keep up with the group. She just blindly followed the school, charging headfirst. When the others changed direction, she just kept on going.

As Gong You watched from the side, Yuanyuan came into view, having transformed into a shark.

The little cub swam leisurely near the surface, her dorsal fin cutting majestically through the water.

Yuanyuan searched for a long time before finally spotting a school of Silverfish. Delighted, she suppressed her aura and began to sneak up on them. ’Wild Beasts have limited intelligence,’ she thought. ’As long as I use the waves for cover and get a little closer, they probably won’t even notice me.’

The school of Silverfish danced leisurely in the water. Just as an excited Yuanyuan was about to open her mouth and charge, one of the Silverfish was suddenly startled. It leaped, throwing the entire school into a panic.

Seeing the school about to escape, Yuanyuan put all her strength into the chase. The Silverfish moved with incredible fluidity, always managing to perfectly evade her… except for one with blue eyes??!!

“WAHAHA… There’s a clueless fish here! Is it trying to be funny? Oh my god, I’m dying…” After chasing for a bit, Yuanyuan saw the blue-eyed Silverfish’s antics and shook with laughter, revealing two rows of sharp, white, serrated teeth.

The blue-eyed Silverfish froze for a second when it heard Yuanyuan’s voice. In that brief moment, the rest of the school swam far away!

“Mother says eating fish is good for the brain. You’re such a genius, so eating you will definitely make me smarter,” Yuanyuan said, swimming swiftly toward the blue-eyed Silverfish.

And it wasn’t just her. Kunzi had also replicated Yuanyuan’s superpower, transforming into a shark to help her corner their prey.

’Oh god, this is karma! My own children are trying to commit matricide!’ The blue-eyed Silverfish darted about in a frantic panic…
