Chapter 234 Wouldn't it be better if I became his father?
A gentle smile spread across Fuying's eyes as she took Changsheng from Danyue's hands.

The little guy's body was smooth, and his arms and legs, which were like lotus roots, were very white and tender, and plump. Every rounded curve showed the traces of being carefully fed and cared for. It was obvious at a glance that he was a cub that grew up in a loving family.

As soon as he landed in his mother's arms, Changsheng immediately wrapped his soft little arms around Fuying's neck.

He tilted his head and gazed at her profile for a long time, his seven-colored eyes filled only with his mother. After a while, he smiled sweetly, his rosy lips as if they were dipped in honey. He pressed his lips to hers and gave her a wet kiss on the cheek.

Teng glanced at Changsheng's clingy behavior, couldn't help but snort through his nose, and stretched out his long arm to hug him.

“Little thing, your mother is still pregnant and can’t take this much. Let your father carry you.” Teng raised an eyebrow, his dark green eyes full of teasing, and then gently lifted the heavy baby up.

Changsheng wasn't afraid of him, but nestled in Teng's arms, her bright eyes still gazing longingly at her mother, her pink lips slightly pouting, showing little enthusiasm for Teng.

Fu Ying turned her head, glanced at Teng with a hint of surprise, and couldn't help but repeat, "Father?"

She clearly remembered that Teng was extremely dissatisfied with the Marquis of Nevernight, to the point of loathing him, and he was always impatient with Changsheng as well. Now, only two months later, his attitude has changed drastically, which is quite unpredictable.

Teng held Changsheng in one hand and pinched Changsheng's soft cheek with the other, causing the little guy to wriggle unhappily.

A playful smile curved his lips: "Dan Yue is about to welcome her own bloodline. We can't let this little thing keep taking up her time. Chapter 234, I'll be her father, isn't that better?"

As she spoke, Teng's slender fingertips brushed against the butterfly pattern on Changsheng's cheek, and a strange emotion flashed in her dark green eyes.

Bai Cang narrowed his amber eyes slightly, glancing at Teng with a half-smile, but didn't say anything.

Teng was not being kind; he just wanted to annoy the Marquis of Nevernight.

Imagine, one day, when the Marquis of Nightless City sees his young cub calling Teng "Father," ha!

Fu Ying glanced at Teng, taking in his thoughts, and shook her head helplessly. These men, no matter how old they are, still have the naivety and impetuosity of youth in their bones.

She reached out and took Changsheng. The little guy immediately relaxed, his seven-colored pupils filled with a sweet smile, a stark contrast to his strained appearance in Teng's arms.

Fuying held Changsheng in her arms, her gaze fixed on the pool of water that shimmered with a faint light.

"Is that seawater?" Though the question was asked, the tone was already certain.

She had initially thought the salty smell of the sea was due to the decorations, but now she realized that Dan Yue had actually carved a hole in the barrier between the Black Crocodile Swamp and the sea, bringing in this expanse of blue water.

This is such a massive project, comparable to moving mountains and filling seas, and it takes an immeasurable amount of effort.

Dan Yue gave a soft "hmm" and naturally took Chang Sheng back into her arms.

He gently stroked the cub's back with his fingertips, but his gaze remained fixed on Fuying's swollen belly, as if afraid she would get tired.

"It was Bai Cang's suggestion that the merfolk cubs be born in the sea. To prevent any accidents, he thought of opening a waterway leading to the sea. Thanks to the help of the clansmen, this place is not far from the sea, and it was completed in some time. In the future, the cubs can play in it and also learn to hunt some sea beasts. It's very convenient."

At this point, Dan Yue turned her head to look at Bai Cang, nodded to him, and her eyes were filled with sincere gratitude.

Bai Cang's long, narrow eyes curled up in an eerie arc: "They are all A Ying's partners, it's only right."

Fu Ying clicked his tongue softly and turned to look around. The Black Crocodile Swamp, once a gloomy and damp place favored by wandering orcs, had now been completely transformed.

The bamboo houses are scattered here, surrounded by thorny fences. Clear streams and blue seas meet here. Although there are not many people, it has already reached the scale of a tribe. It is a feng shui treasure land that is very suitable for orcs to live in.

Even if she's no longer here, the males and cubs will be able to live well.

"When will Aying give birth?" Teng asked, looking at Fuying's unusually large belly, his voice tinged with unease.

Dan Yue also looked down, her light blue eyes filled with a mixture of expectation and worry, and said softly, "It should be in the next few days, but the cold season is coming soon and the seawater has already turned cold. I just hope that the cub can be born before the snow falls."

Before he could finish speaking, all the males fell silent.

Fu Ying remained calm and gently stroked her belly. "I will give birth when the time is right. There's no rush. The hunting season is almost over, so we should prepare as soon as possible."

After saying that, she turned her gaze to Qinglan and Teng: "The season is approaching, do you want to go back to the tribe for a visit?"

Of the males, only Qinglan and Teng came with her after leaving the tribe. Now that the cold season is approaching, just like the rainy season, it is full of dangers. They should return to the tribe to help stockpile some prey.

Although Dan Yue is the chieftain of the Merfolk, he cannot leave as the cub is about to be born.

Moreover, now that the Black Crocodile Swamp is connected to the sea, it is no longer difficult for the Merfolk to travel back and forth.

Upon hearing Fuying's words, Qinglan paused slightly, her Adam's apple bobbing as she gazed intently at Fuying with her grey-brown eyes.

He left the tribe to find Fuying, who had fallen into the mud, and wanted to make amends for his mistake. Now so much time has passed, and he hasn't returned even during the rainy season. It would be a lie to say he's not worried. Not only are his tribesmen there, but also his mother.

Fu Ying smiled faintly and winked gently at Qing Lan.

In an instant, a smile appeared in Qinglan's eyes, the frost melted away, and it was like a thousand pear blossoms in full bloom.

He said softly, "I should go back and take a look, but I will definitely return before the snow falls."

Fu Ying nodded, a smile playing on her red lips.

"And you?" Fu Ying turned to look at Teng, who was standing quietly to the side.

When I left during the rainy season, it was because Bai Cang's identity as a fallen beastman was exposed, which led to a conflict with the tribesmen. Coincidentally, the Tengmu tribe came to the Cangshan tribe seeking refuge. Now, time has passed, and I don't know what the tribe's situation is now.

Teng lazily lifted his eyelids, his dark green pupils filled with indifference.

He leaned against a bamboo pillar and shook his head, saying, "The snake race is cold-hearted by nature. Since we have left the tribe, there is no need for us to go back."

Fu Ying carefully examined his calm expression, making sure there was no reluctance in his eyes, before softly saying, "Alright."

Not far away, Lai Shiba quietly watched the group, listening to Fu Ying's meticulous planning for her partners. A bittersweet feeling welled up in his heart. When would he be able to become a female partner?
Thinking this, he suddenly remembered Yu Li, who was just as pitiful as himself.

That guy went back to the tribe but didn't come back with them, leaving him all alone here, isolated. It's strange how he feels.
