Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: As If She Didn’t Bear Me a Son Too

Bai Chaosi heard this and thought, ’So the woman in my arms is called A Yue.’

Mu Silin had no desire to waste words with Bai Chaosi.

"If you’re a man, don’t use a woman as a shield. You want to fight for her? Fine. Put her down first, and we’ll settle this like men! A proper, head-on fight."

He didn’t want to wake Shen Yue or frighten her.

Since everyone was already out in the open, they might as well have a proper fight to determine who had priority.

But Bai Chaosi, a faint smile playing on his refined and noble face, remained unmoved.

"Fighting may be your preferred method of solving problems, but it’s not mine."

"I prefer to use... this."

As he spoke the last word, he tilted his head meaningfully.

The gesture meant he preferred to use his brain.

Not his brawn.

That simple head tilt made the hearts of his subordinates, hidden in the shadows, absolutely flutter.

’Our Young Master is just too beautiful, too powerful, too incredible!’

’Look at that presence! Even when facing four formidable Beast Clan members with High-level Spiritual Power, he doesn’t lose out to anyone. In fact, his magnificence outshines them all.’

’They were so proud!!’

From the moment the four of them appeared, Bai Chaosi understood that the woman in his arms was the female they had all set their sights on.

However, from the looks of it, they hadn’t yet had the chance to spend any time with her or get close to her.

’It seems my timing was truly perfect,’ he thought. ’I’ve managed to wedge myself right in between them.’

Since this woman was the one who had taken his innocence back in Beastification City, how could he possibly hand her over to someone else?

After all, he’d been searching for her for a very long time.

Even with four such formidable rivals, he would fight for her to the very end.

He looked at the four of them, his gaze sweeping over each one in turn.

"Gentlemen, rather than fighting amongst yourselves behind her back, I suggest we each rely on our own skills. We’ll see who can win the fair lady’s heart first. What do you say?"

Hearing this, Ye Lüqi seemed to understand.

He dropped his aggressive, ready-to-fight stance and proudly straightened his sleeves.

"Very well. Since we’re all here for Miss A Yue, let’s compete on our own merits and see who can win her affection first."

"Besides, Miss A Yue has already given birth to my son. I am already her de facto Beast Husband. All I need to do is bring her back for a wedding the entire world will watch and swear an oath before the Beast God. It’s only a matter of time before she becomes my Female Master!"

At these words, Bai Chaosi’s brow furrowed slightly.

’She actually had a child with another man?’

’Does that mean this lion’s blood has been marked by her, just like mine?’

But Mu Silin nearly laughed out loud when he heard that.

"You say that as if she didn’t give me a son, too!!"

Bai Chaosi’s frown deepened.

’She had a child with this Leopard, too?’

Beside them, Lan Cangyue’s lips curled into a smile that was both innocent and devilish. He added nonchalantly,

"That’s right. It’s not just you two—she gave me a daughter!"

The warmth on Bai Chaosi’s face faded, his expression turning grim.

’That’s three of them.’

He instinctively glanced at the Flood Dragon man standing off to the side.

The cold man, his face an icy mask, simply let out a cold laugh.

"Hah...!"

The disdain in that sound was self-evident.

The color drained from Bai Chaosi’s lips.

’The woman in my arms... had children with all four of them?’

His arms around Shen Yue tightened unconsciously, and he gave her a retaliatory pinch.

Shen Yue, who was fast asleep, felt someone pinch her waist, hard.

It was uncomfortable, and she frowned, murmuring in her sleep,

"Stop that... Be good."

Bai Chaosi was furious.

’This wicked woman! She took my innocence and then had children with so many other men.’

’When has Bai Chaosi ever been so wronged?’

’And she dares to tell *me* to be good?’

’In her dreams.’

He put more force into his fingers and pinched her again.

Shen Yue’s brow furrowed deeper from the pain.

’Did Liu Bao’s little paw just kick me? Why does it hurt so much?’

She tried to open her eyes to look.

But the sleepiness was overwhelming, and her half-open eyelids drifted shut again.

She drifted back into a deep sleep.

Just as Bai Chaosi was stewing in his indignation while looking at the woman in his arms,

Mu Silin unexpectedly directed a cold sneer at Ye Lüqi.

"It’s true she’s had children with all of us, but as I recall, doesn’t the esteemed Golden Lion King of Golden West Mountain have a betrothed?"

Ye Lüqi heard this, but his proud posture didn’t change. He was unfazed.

"And what if I do? Although I was betrothed to that Duchess, that’s all in the past. I broke off the engagement with that ugly female months ago. I am now a single man!"

A prime, eligible bachelor.

At these words, Mu Silin watched him with a smirk.

’I wasn’t wrong.’

’The member of the Golden Lion Royal Family engaged to Shen Yue really was Ye Lüqi himself.’

’I had my suspicions before, and now they’re confirmed.’

When he said this, the other four men—everyone except Mu Silin—turned to look at Ye Lüqi in shock.

’What?’

’So Ye Lüqi was also engaged to the Duchess?’

Even Bai Chaosi was taken aback for a moment.

’The Duchess?’

’That sounds so familiar... Is he talking about the Duke Mansion in the K Empire Royal City?’

’I remember I also had a fiancée... I think it was that same Duchess. Could it be that my fiancée and the Golden Lion King’s were the same person?’

’It’s just that later, for some reason, the Duke Mansion itself initiated the annulment.’

’I was busy with matters on Snow Ridge at the time and didn’t return to the Fox Clan, so the elders handled it.’

’I don’t know if the elders actually agreed to it.’

’But I never expected that this Golden Lion King was also engaged to the Duchess.’

Lan Cangyue was also surprised. He never thought he’d hear the words "the Duchess" all the way out here.

’Wasn’t my former fiancée also the Duchess?’

’I have no idea what my Queen Mother and King Father were thinking, arranging a marriage for me with someone from the terrestrial clans.’

’I’d heard she was hideously ugly and barren, but I never paid it much mind.’

’I figured my Queen Mother and King Father would call off the engagement for me sooner or later.’

’But to my surprise, a while ago, that terrestrial royal family sent a messenger themselves with a letter of annulment, proactively dissolving the betrothal.’

As for Huang Ziyue, he heard this and glanced at the other four men, each with a different expression on his face. His eyes narrowed.

He had a hunch. ’Could it be that all of these men were engaged to Shen Yue?’

Seeing the smirk on Mu Silin’s face, he felt a string of tension tighten within him.

’Of all of us, this Leopard arrived the earliest, so he must know something about Shen Yue’s identity.’

’I can only blame my subordinates for taking so long to report back on what I asked them to investigate.’

It was making him rather nervous.

’I’m just afraid this woman really is the exiled Shen Yue from the Duke Mansion!’

At this moment, after Ye Lüqi had spoken, he saw Mu Silin just smirking at him without a word.

He continued smugly,

"What’s the matter? Disappointed to hear I broke my engagement? But, as far as I know, you, the Great General of the Black Panther Royal Family, also have a betrothal, don’t you? A man with a fiancée, yet you had another woman bear your child. Aren’t you afraid your intended will find out?"

He paused, then asked,

"Or have you, like me, already broken it off? Are your hands free?"
