Chapter 911: A Suspicious Fish Among the Cubs

Chapter 911: Chapter 911: A Suspicious Fish Among the Cubs

Xiao Yi, who had been listening silently, finally narrowed his eyes.

Something was wrong. He looked at Yuze, who had gone from being a complete stranger to becoming the most pitiful cub in the room within the time it took to drink a cup of milk.

He had arrived out of nowhere. He had somehow convinced Uncle An Mo to bring him home. And now, in less than half an hour, all his siblings were practically ready to offer him their entire food supply.

Xiao Yi stared at the little mermaid.

Why did he feel that this fellow was a little too good at talking?

Every time someone asked him a question, he answered with another tragic detail. Every time the cubs looked as though they might stop feeling sorry for him, his eyes became watery again.

Was this really a poor, unfortunate cub?

Or was he a little fox in disguise?

Xiao Yi glanced at the tiny tail soaking in the water.

No, he wasn’t a fox.

He was a fish.

A very suspicious fish!

However, despite his doubts, Xiao Yi couldn’t find anything wrong with Yuze’s story. The little fellow’s tail really did have a damaged patch, and he looked so pitiful whenever he lowered his head.

Perhaps he really had suffered.

Xiao Yi decided to keep watching him. He would figure out what was strange about this cub sooner or later!

Meanwhile, An Mo, who had been standing nearby and listening to everything, was also deeply moved.

He had initially brought Yuze back because he was curious about the little fellow and wanted to see what kind of reaction Xuan Long would have when he met a cub from the Primordial Tide Clan.

Who would have thought that this little cub had such a miserable life?

An Mo smacked his lips. This child was even more pitiful than he had been! Well, perhaps not quite as pitiful as Xuan Long, but still!

How could a cub survive alone without anyone caring for him? The little fellow had to hunt for food, fight other fish, and even protect himself from being eaten.

What kind of life was that?

An Mo’s heart ached.

Cubs were precious! There were countless powerful beings in the Upper Domain who would spend thousands of years hoping to have a cub of their own. Yet someone had actually allowed such a young child to suffer like this.

It was simply outrageous!

An Mo walked over and gently ruffled Yuze’s wet hair. "Don’t worry, little fellow. If there’s one thing we have plenty of here, it’s food!" He smiled generously. "You can eat as much as you want. Nobody will make you hunt for your own meals here."

Yuze looked up at him with glistening eyes.

"Really, Uncle?"

"Of course!"

"Then... can I have more warm milk?"

An Mo paused. Then he laughed. "Of course you can!"

Yuze immediately smiled brightly. "Thank you, Uncle! You’re the best!"

An Mo felt his heart melt.

Ah, what a good child!

So polite! So grateful! So pitiful!

He had definitely done the right thing by bringing this cub home!

Yuze lowered his head and took another sip of milk, hiding the tiny smile that appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Excellent!

His plan was working perfectly!

First, he had secured a place to stay. Then he had obtained warm milk, delicious snacks, and the sympathy of six cubs. Most importantly, nobody had mentioned sending him back!

Yuze silently congratulated himself. As expected, the best way to survive was to find people with soft hearts!

And these cubs were simply too easy to fool!

Well, perhaps not all of them. His gaze briefly landed on Xiao Yi, who was staring at him with narrowed eyes.

Yuze immediately blinked innocently. "Brother Xiao Yi, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xiao Yi crossed his little arms.

"Nothing."

"Do you think I’m lying?"

Xiao Yi’s eyelid twitched. Before he could answer, Yuze lowered his head sadly. "It’s all right. I’m used to people not believing me."

"Elder Brother!" Maomao immediately turned toward Xiao Yi. "Why are you questioning him?!"

Ruru also glared at her elder brother.

"That’s right! Brother Yuze has already suffered so much!"

Xiao Yi: "..."

He hadn’t even said anything!

Why had he suddenly become the villain?!

Yuze quietly took another sip of milk.

Xiao Yi stared at him, his suspicions growing stronger. This little mermaid was dangerous. Not because he could fight, but because he could make everyone else fight for him!

Meanwhile, An Mo sighs as he walks inside the house. He had originally planned to surprise his best friend and give Xuan Long a little shock by bringing home a mysterious cub from the Primordial Tide Clan.

Unfortunately, he had arrived only to discover that Su Qinglan had already left for Fox Beast City with Rong Ye and Xuan Long.

Ciao Ciao had followed them, too, since he was the main reason for their trip. Xuan Long had also gone along to protect the family.

And Yue Yue?

That little girl had thrown a tantrum until she was allowed to follow her father. She simply couldn’t bear to be separated from him for even a single day.

As a result, most of the cubs had remained in Dragon Beast City with their fathers.

Su Qinglan had deliberately left them behind because she didn’t yet know what awaited them in Fox Beast City. The appearance of that mysterious teenage boy had made her even more cautious. She wanted to investigate the situation first before bringing the rest of her children there.

An Mo sighed. He had come looking for Xuan Long, only to discover that his best friend was gone.

Now he had a new cub to look after, and the little fellow had already won the sympathy of almost everyone in the house.

An Mo glanced toward the bathtub.

Yuze was happily drinking his milk while Lulu and Ruru were busy offering him snacks. Maomao was still patting his hand comfortingly, and Xiao San had even pushed a plate of food closer to him.

Only Xiao Yi continued staring at the little mermaid suspiciously.

An Mo shook his head with a smile. "Well, at least the little fellow won’t be lonely here."
