Chapter 909: Chapter 909: I Accidentally Picked Up My Future Son-in-Law?

The cub’s eyes shone even brighter. Then, without warning, he leaped out of the water.

SPLASH!

An Mo screamed again as the little fellow landed right in front of him, splashing water everywhere.

"Little brat! Can’t you warn someone before jumping out like that?! Do you want to scare me to death?!"

The cub paid no attention to his complaints. Instead, he rushed forward and wrapped both little arms around An Mo’s thigh. "Uncle! Can you take me with you?"

An Mo was completely dumbfounded. He reached down, trying to pry the sticky little fish off his leg, but the cub held on for dear life!

"Take you with me?!" An Mo squawked, totally bewildered. "Take you where?! Little guy, I don’t even know who you are! Let go of my pants; you’re getting fish scales all over my clean clothes!"

Realizing the handsome uncle didn’t recognize him at all, the little merman cub puffed out his soft cheeks and shouted urgently, "Uncle! I recognize you! Aren’t you the uncle who lives in the God Estate?!"

An Mo’s brain instantly short-circuited. He froze, staring down at the tiny mermaid cub clinging to his leg like a wet octopus.

"You know me?!" An Mo asked in disbelief, pointing a finger at his own nose. "Who on earth are you, little cub? How do you know where I live?!"

The little mermaid cub immediately flicked his blue fish tail in the air and flashed a bright, toothy grin. "Uncle, my name is Yuze! I am that little white snake’s best friend! Don’t worry, I am a super good guy!"

An Mo stood there, completely speechless, staring at the smiling little fish.

Little white snake’s friend?! Which little white snake?!

An Mo racked his brain in sheer confusion. I’ve never seen this little fish in my entire life! How does he know me?!

Seeing that the handsome uncle was still looking completely lost, Yuze grew anxious. His little face fell slightly, but a look of burning determination quickly returned to his round eyes.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! A high-level beastman from the outside world was standing right in front of him! If he didn’t grab onto this leg right now, he would never be able to break out of this gloomy Deep Abyss, let alone go find his silly white snake!

And most importantly, this uncle definitely knew where that silly snake is?

Yuze tightened his grip on An Mo’s thigh and explained frantically, "The little white snake! The one with the big, pretty blue gemstone eyes! She is a tiny female snake who was staying in the God Estate! I am her bestest friend in the whole wide world!" Yuze pressed heavily on the word bestest.

BOOM!

A loud thunderclap seemed to go off inside An Mo’s brain! His big eyes widened to the size of tea saucers!

Blue gemstone eyes... a tiny female snake in the God Estate...

YUEYUE!

Without another word, An Mo reached down, grabbed the little mermaid cub by the scruff of his neck, and yanked him straight out of the water like a wet kitten! He held the dangling cub at eye level, inspecting him up and down with intense scrutiny.

An Mo’s jaw dropped in total shock. His sharp instincts immediately picked up the subtle, pure bloodline aura radiating from the little cub’s shimmering scales.

Holy crap! This little brat is from the Primordial Tide Clan! And he’s talking about our little Yueyue, who is from the Moon Spirit Clan!

An Mo’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. "You... you have really met little Yueyue?!"

Yuze hung in the air, nodding his head furiously like a little woodpecker. "Yes, yes! I promise I know her! We are very close!"

An Mo wanted to burst out laughing on the spot! What an incredible coincidence!

Truth be told, before this moment, An Mo and Xuan Long had secretly discussed the mysterious destiny mate of Yue Yue.

He had originally imagined that Yue Yue’s future partner might be some beastman who had lived for thousands of years. In the Upper Domain, such things were hardly unusual.

Sometimes one partner had already lived for countless years while the other had only just been born.

Just look at him and Xuan Long!

An Mo’s expression darkened as he recalled the countless possibilities he and Xuan Long had discussed.

If some old bastard dared to set his sights on their precious Yue Yue, they would definitely teach him what it meant to regret being born!

But who could have guessed that the "mysterious male partner" was literally just a three-year-old baby fish?!

Looking at the dangling, wet mermaid cub wiggling his shiny blue tail in the air, An Mo felt a wave of wicked joy bloom in his heart!

Hahaha! Wait until Xuan Long sees this! He was worrying himself sick about his daughter being stolen away by some old bastard, and it’s actually just a tiny brat who still smells of mother’s milk!

An Mo put on a sly, scheming smile, holding the cub closer. "So... you want to leave this place and go meet little Yueyue?"

Yuze nodded eagerly, his big eyes twinkling with hope. "Yes! I promised her that I would come back to meet her and bring her lots of good treasures! I am a man of my word!"

An Mo stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Hmm... but what if your parents start searching for you? Won’t they come looking for trouble?"

Yuze’s cute little face instantly drooped, a faint trace of sadness touching his big eyes. "I don’t have parents... so no one really cares where I go."

An Mo was startled. "Then... what about your guardian? Won’t he notice you’re missing?"

Yuze blinked his big, innocent eyes and immediately lied through his tiny baby teeth without missing a single beat!

"My guardian doesn’t care about me at all! He has so many young cubs under him that he wouldn’t even notice if I disappeared! If I’m gone, they’ll simply think I died in some dark corner of the Deep Abyss!"

An Mo was completely struck speechless by the cub’s casual, straightforward tone!

How can this little brat say something so deeply tragic with such a completely calm, unbothered face?!

An Mo’s heart softened significantly. He knew better than anyone how hard life was for an orphan without parents...he and Xuan Long were the prime examples of growing up without parental protection!

Looking at the tiny, wet mermaid cub hanging from his hand, An Mo’s protective instincts flared up.

Besides, bringing this little guy back would be the ultimate entertainment! He couldn’t wait to see the priceless look on Xuan Long’s stoic face when he presented him with his potential "son-in-law"!

A broad, wicked grin spread across An Mo’s face.

"Alright then, little fish!" An Mo declared cheerfully, patting the cub’s head. "If you promise to be a good, obedient boy, this handsome uncle will take you with me to see little Yueyue!"

Yuze’s eyes burst with pure joy!

"YAY!" Yuze squealed in delight, immediately wrapping his chubby arms around An Mo’s neck like a clingy little burden. "Thank you, Uncle! I will be super, super obedient! I won’t cause any trouble at all!"

An Mo chuckled loudly, tossing the little mermaid cub over his shoulder like a bag of rice while keeping his pouch of sea shells safe, completely ready to head back and giving a heart attack to his best friend.
