Quick Transmigration and Childbirth: The Target is Not Human
Chapter 21 The Tentacle Monster's Runaway Bride
Ian's wailing stopped abruptly.
He seemed stunned by those words, staring blankly at the stern, ruthless, and terrifying human before him.
She is...my own mother...?
A tear rolled down Xia Yangyang's cheek. She turned her head away, refusing to look at Victor.
"Unless you kill me, I'm determined to take care of this child today. I can't bear to see him turn into a monster that eats his own father's flesh."
"..."
Ian was somewhat timid, overwhelmed by the endless longing he had felt for his mother over the past three years.
His wailing finally turned into the crying of a normal child, a tender sob.
The grievance was like a gaping abyss, swallowing him whole.
What right does she have to control him? In the past three years, she has never been there for him whenever he needed her.
She cannot and has no right to discipline him the moment she appears.
Little Fish wasn't raised by her, so why should she demand that Little Fish grow up to look a certain way?
Using the system's "Mother and Child Connected" skill, Xia Yangyang read Ian's thoughts word for word, and felt as if her heart was being slashed back and forth by a dull knife.
When he had completely calmed down and stopped struggling and shouting, Xia Yangyang finally spoke, her voice choked and hoarse.
"Do you still want to attack others and yell?"
Ian's two almond-shaped eyes were round and plump, like two snow-white pearls, and he looked at Xia Yangyang with misty eyes.
"I don't want to think about it anymore..."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.
At this moment, Ian looked docile and adorable, completely different from the crazy little monster he had been before.
Xia Yangyang: "If I let you go now, can you promise not to yell or hit me?"
Ian nodded almost imperceptibly: "Mm..."
As agreed with him, Xia Yangyang first released one hand, and Ian obediently did not move.
So Xia Yangyang released her other hand, smiled at him, and patted the spot beside her.
"Sit here."
Ian sucked on her lower lip, and her golden tentacles sat down neatly beside her, mimicking Xia Yangyang's cross-legged posture, intertwining their tentacles as well.
Her wet eyelashes fluttered as she looked at Xia Yangyang.
Her well-behaved appearance was completely different from what she had been like half an hour ago.
Xia Yangyang softened her tone: "From now on, you can't bite your father anymore, and you can't attack anyone. That's wrong. If you have any needs that aren't met, you can tell your father with your mouth, understand?"
Five or six pairs of eyes were fixed on Ian.
Ian's eyes were innocent and naive. After a long while, he nodded: "Okay."
good?!!!
The little devil agreed just like that?!
How...how is this possible?!
Just who is this human?!
Like a spring breeze, it melted the ice on Xia Yangyang's face, slowly revealing a gentle smile.
She ruffled his fluffy, curly silver hair: "A good child is one who knows his mistakes and can correct them. Go apologize to your father and all the mermaid sisters."
Ian Baba looked at his father standing not far away, took small steps to approach him, his head drooping, his fingers twisting behind his back.
"sorry."
The son at my feet is sensible and well-behaved.
Victor looked down at them, his eyelids twitching violently, a bizarre feeling welling up inside him.
Is this really his son?
Was the chip really not replaced?
Victor opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the little guy turned his small body and apologized to the mermaid sisters who were taking care of him.
"……sorry."
In front of the monarch?!
The mermaids were terrified, awkwardly laughing and shaking their heads and waving their hands in a flustered manner.
"Taking care of you is our duty!" "Young Master has always been so well-behaved, why, why do you need to apologize, hahaha?!" "Young Master, please take back your apology, waaaaah, we'll have our lifespans shortened!" "Young Master..."
Little Ian stood there, somewhat at a loss.
Victor scooped up his little bottom, pulled him into his arms, and turned to walk out of the palace.
Golden-haired Ian, like a delicate little pendant, wrapped his arms around his father's neck and rested on his shoulder.
Ian's chubby fingers tugged at Victor's hair, but through the part of his hair, he secretly looked at Xia Yangyang standing not far away.
Xia Yangyang looked up and met those exquisite, clear eyes.
She paused for a moment, then tilted her head slightly, a smile blooming on her face, as warm and gentle as spring flowers.
Ian's face turned bright red instantly.
He immediately buried his face in his father's neck, clutching his long silver hair to cover his face.
As if still filled with remorse, she spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "I'm sorry, Father... I shouldn't have bitten you."
Victor frowned slightly: "Ian, you are the son of the king. There is no option for you to apologize, nor is it possible for you to make mistakes."
"But...you're bleeding."
"You're just too young. Anyone with your strength would also 'accidentally' hurt others, but that's not your fault."
Ian nodded haphazardly: "...Oh."
Having heard everything clearly, Xia Yangyang was bewildered in the wind: "..."
So all her teaching was for nothing?
Xia Yangyang: [Damn it, can't you teach your child something good? This kind of educational philosophy deserves to be torn apart.]
System: [Don't forget why you're here. Ian's birth is currently stuck at 99%. We must find a way to replace the Heart of the Ocean and give him an independent heart, otherwise you'll never be able to leave this world.]
*
Gaining Victor's trust was no easy task, but the Ocean Clan also had a strict hierarchy. Xia Yangyang stole the token that symbolized his identity while he was asleep.
Xia Yangyang carried a luminous pearl to the library of Atlantis.
Unlike human records, the books of the ocean are a special kind of magic, hiding their contents within crystals.
A dazzling array of crystals, sparkling and colorful.
Xia Yangyang continued walking forward: [Did you find any useful information?]
Countless windows popped up on the screen in front of the system, rapidly loading one book after another: [The Siren Chronicles, The Three Fish Chronicles, Pearl 1988, In the Name of the Mermaid... This, this isn't here... Could you go further in?]
Xia Yangyang walked to the end of the library, where the stone wall in front of her turned into a pile of red and black bricks and tiles, and the door was embedded in the innermost layer.
The blue stone gate is covered with green moss and has the three large characters "Forbidden Book Pavilion" carved on it.
Xia Yangyang was a little curious and reached out to push the door open, but was blocked by a five-pronged fork that seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"Library restricted area; humans and dogs are not allowed!"
The sound was powerful and resonant, deeply moving.
A mermaid, clad in armor and standing about three meters tall, glared at Xia Yangyang with a warning, like a guardian lion.
Xia Yangyang took several steps back, her brow furrowed, and pulled out her token: "Your token is my command, so get out of the way!"
The gatekeeper merman remained unmoved, looking down at them with disdain, and said, "Humans are inherently treacherous. How do I know whether this token was stolen by you, or granted voluntarily by the monarch?"
"...?!"
Xia Yangyang: [Damn, did I run into someone with a brain?]
System: [How about we knock him out?]
Xia Yangyang was taken aback: [Me? Can I do it?]
系统声音像被装了家电推销的大喇叭:[是的你没有听错!一敲即睡,昏睡咩咩锤!不要998!不要698!现在只要99,只要99!包邮加急24小时内到家!走过路过千万不要错过!]
Xia Yangyang's lips twitched: [Then how about... we buy one? Can we pay on credit?]
She's weak in combat, but having weapons would be enough to protect her in case of danger.
As soon as she finished speaking, the system message read: [Ding—Payment successful. Welcome to our store again, host. A five-star review will earn you 5 pregnancy points!]
Suddenly, a white light flashed, and a heavy white lamb hammer appeared in her hand.
This happened?!
The burly merman guard roared, "Ha! You cunning human! You really did steal the monarch's token!"
"?!"
"Watch me take your head, then I'll claim my reward from the monarch!"
"Wait, man, buddy!"
Before she could say anything more, the long fork was already aimed straight at her brow.
Xia Yangyang ducked to avoid it and swung the sledgehammer at his fish tail.
After smashing it, the mermaid seemed to freeze, and Xia Yangyang took advantage of this opportunity to pick up the hammer and run outside.
However, after running only a few steps, the heavy object behind him crashed to the ground with a loud thud, stirring up a huge wave of water.
The mermaid... just like that, fell asleep?!
Xia Yangyang poked its fierce face with the hammer handle, but the mermaid was fast asleep, snoring loudly.
She put away the hammer and walked towards the forbidden library, brushing the dust off her hands as she went: "I told you to wait, but you wouldn't listen. Oh well."
System: [How about it? Not a bad deal, right?]
Xia Yangyang: [Keep an eye out for these kinds of discount events for me in the future.]
There was a mysterious mechanism on the stone door; if it weren't for the system, a cheat code that blends the ancient and the modern, she really wouldn't have been able to open it.
The smell of mildew was overwhelming.
The forbidden library is circular, with shelves embedded in the stone walls, filled with rows of red crystals.
Unlike the elegant and gentle crystals in the outer pavilion, every crystal here is chained and emits a faint, dark red light, which is startling to the eye.
The system suddenly exclaimed with delight: [Found it! This is the "Ocean Heart User Guide": How to separate the heart without causing damage after feeding it with the Ocean Heart!]
Xia Yangyang couldn't wait: [Quick, quick, how are they divided!]
System: [Don't worry! I'll check right away!]
Xia Yangyang waited expectantly for the system's reply, while the system excitedly scrolled through the entries.
She watched as the system's smile slowly disappeared.
It scrolled through the pages from beginning to end, shook its head vigorously, and then returned to the beginning of that page to scroll through them again.
Xia Yangyang: [What's wrong?]
The system turned off the crystal projection and muttered, "[How could it be this way...]"
