Yue Zhan had a smile in his eyes, but after his mouth was covered, he instead held the little prince’s hand and looked down at him.
Yi Nuo looked puzzled, and then the palm of his hand was kissed.
He blushed immediately, as if he had been scalded, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and whispered, “There are people around?”
“It’s okay if there’s no one around?” Yue Zhan directly took him into his arms and whispered into his ear with a smile.
Just as Yi Nuo was about to say something, he suddenly saw the Eldest Princess, dressed in a star thief combat uniform, stride onto the ship.
He quickly hit Yue Zhan and reminded him, “Be decent, my elder sister is here.”
Yue Zhan had no choice but to let him go, thinking regretfully: The Elder Princess came at a really bad time.
When the Eldest Princess saw them, her eyes lit up at first. Then she quickly stepped forward, warmly hugged Yi Nuo, and curiously asked, “How is my little nephew? When will he be born?”
Yi Nuo: “…” Is it that fast?
“Can’t it be a niece?” He said in a faint tone.
“A niece would be great ah!” The Eldest Princess suddenly looked pleasantly surprised and thought freely, “With a niece, I could take her as a star thief, travel through the stars, and inherit my legacy.”
After saying that, she looked expectantly and asked, “So, is it really going to be a niece?”
Yi Nuo: “…”
【It’s just an egg, how would I know the gender?】
Yue Zhan quickly pulled him away and whispered, “If it’s a daughter, absolutely do not let the Eldest Princess take her.”
Yi Nuo gave him a sidelong glance and said, “Are you sexist? Why can’t a girl become a star thief with my eldest sister? You’re stereotyping.”
Yue Zhan: “…” No, is becoming a star thief a good thing?
They all have significant family businesses, so why must the child inherit the Eldest Princess’s… career? Can’t the Eldest Princess give birth on her own?
Thinking of this, he directly sent a message to Yue Ge, urging, “You hurry up and have a child with the Eldest Princess.”
Yue Ge, who was thousands of miles away, replied in seconds: “You think I don’t want to?”
After urging Yue Ge, Yue Zhan explained seriously, “It’s not just a daughter; I wouldn’t want to part with a son either.”
He had just thought it over carefully and realised that he was indeed being stereotypical. How could he only think of daughters as delicate and soft?

Hearing this, Yue Zhan smiled without saying a word.
Yi Nuo couldn’t help but scratch his head and awkwardly said, “it should… take another eight months?”
“?” The Eldest Princess looked at Yue Zhan suspiciously, her eyes full of doubt.
Yue Zhan coughed lightly and explained, “There was a mistake that time on the desolate planet.”
Eldest Princess: “…”
Yue Zhan had a lot of things to deal with, so after spending only a short time with the two of them, he had to leave. Before departing, he specifically asked the Eldest Princess to take good care of Yi Nuo.
The Eldest Princess waved her hand and said, “Don’t worry, he’s my brother. If I don’t take care of him, who will?”
After Yue Zhan left, she winked at Yi Nuo and teased, “You can’t even bear to be apart for a little while? Anyone who didn’t know better would think that you were going to be separated for a few months.”
“Cough cough.” Yi Nuo’s ears turned suspiciously red, and he quickly changed the subject, asking, “Where’s Yue-dage? I heard from Yue Zhan that he ran into your star thief group. Why didn’t he come with you this time?”
“He’s ah, at home taking care of the child.” The Eldest Princess said, twirling a strand of her hair. Whatever she was thinking about made her smile quite charmingly. “He did want to come along, but what’s the point of him coming to something as dangerous as fighting a battle? After I…… cough cough, overslept.”
Yi ‧ stunned ‧ Nuo: “…”
What does ‘taking care of the child’ mean? And what does ‘cough cough’ mean? Is it what he thinks, or is he just dirty mind?
“Wait, wait, you, you have a child? I’m, I’m an uncle now?” He asked, stunned and stammering.
“Pfft, cough cough——” The Eldest Princess was drinking water and nearly spat it out when she heard this. She coughed for a while before catching her breath and couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him. “What nonsense are you talking about? It’s the old leader’s son. The child is still young and recently fell ill. Since Yue Ge is a doctor and quite patient, he’s been taking care of him…”
Yi ‧ expressionless ‧ Nuo: “Oh.”
“But you know, even though Pretty Boy Yue is a bit effeminate, he’s really good with kids.” The Eldest Princess suddenly became interested and leaned in to say, “I think when you have your baby, you could have him take care of it. Ai, then you can come visit our star thief group…”
The Old Dragonfish and Zhang Yu happened to come looking for Yi Nuo. Hearing this, Old Dragonfish immediately stepped forward and said, “Your Highness, not to boast, but when it comes to hatching eggs and raising little mermaids, our Sea Country is absolutely the best. Why should you abandon the near and seek the far?”
Zhang Yu, following behind, nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
The Eldest Princess instantly became unhappy upon hearing this. Who were these people, stealing the show just when she was praising her family’s pretty boy?
She turned her head in displeasure, and then she saw the gorged and wrinkled face of Old Dragonfish, and she suddenly took a breath of cold air.
This, this appearance is just too… unique.
She said bitterly and hatefully: “Brother, you need to see more beauties, so the little baby will look good-looking ah.”
“Nonsense.” Old Dragonfish immediately retorted. “Our Sea King’s royal genes are strong. No matter what, the baby will be a beautiful little mermaid.”
Yi Nuo, fearing the two might start arguing, quickly interrupted and asked, “What do you two want to see me for?”
Thinking of the purpose of their visit, Old Dragonfish coughed twice, feeling a bit embarrassed to speak.
Zhang Yu sighed and shamelessly stepped forward and said: “Your Highness, our national teacher, Mr. Unas, is currently being detained on the ship. I think…”
“That old turtle did something wrong and definitely deserves to die!” Old Dragonfish interjected very fiercely.
He furiously berated Unas, and after scolding him, his tone softened. Thick-skinned, he added, “Though he is indeed a bit stupid, he means no harm. Moreover, he is very skilled at raising little mermaids. In fact, your mother was hatched and raised by him.”
Yi Nuo: “Ah?”
He understood what the two meant, but Unas was the Emperor’s prisoner, so it was difficult for him to intervene.
Although if he spoke up, the Emperor would certainly agree, but…
Ai, forget it, since Unas had raised his mother, she would surely not want him to be imprisoned by the Emperor if she was awake.
Although he had not yet met his mother, Yi Nuo’s mindset had clearly changed. He no longer felt the blank sense of distance he had when he first learned the truth.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, “I’ll talk to Father Emperor about it.”
Old Dragonfish and Zhang Yu both breathed a sigh of relief, then began discussing with him the matter of returning to the Sea Country.
After seeing off the two of them, the Eldest Princess looked pensive and then said, “You want to go back to the Sea Country with them? Then Yue Zhan…”
“We’ll be staying in Sea Star for a while, living on the ship.” Yi Nuo said.
“Oh.” The Eldest Princess understood, and teasingly said, “Can’t bear to leave Yue Zhan?”
Yi Nuo: “…”
He could only wave the terminal in his hand and say, “I’m going to call Father Emperor.”
The Eldest Princess: “Tsk tsk, getting shy, understand, understand. I’ll leave first.”
After the Eldest Princess left, Yi Nuo rubbed his face, let out a sigh of relief, and then with a furrowed brow, called the Emperor.
Scott was so surprised when he received his call, he answered it almost in seconds.
Yi Nuo explained the situation meticulously, and added in passing, “I heard he had kindly raised mother; he was the one who hatched her from her shell.”
He didn’t ask the Emperor to release Unas, simply repeating Old Dragonfish’s words. But upon hearing this, Scott immediately spoke gently, “Alright, alright, I’ll have Yue Zhan release him right away.”
After speaking, he said happily, “Thanks for letting me know. Otherwise, when your mother wakes up and finds out about this, she’ll surely blame me.”
Yi Nuo: “…” There are plenty of other things she has to blame you for; this probably wouldn’t even make the list.
“By the way, Nuonuo, during these days in the Sea Country… have you seen your mother?” Scott’s tone was careful, cautious, yet full of expectation. “Is she okay? I heard she was seriously injured…”
“Haven’t seen her.” Yi Nuo interrupted suddenly.
He wanted to say that since he had chosen a different path back then, there was no need to entangle himself now. Just like in the past, if it weren’t for the Emperor’s entanglement, would Li Ya have been hated by Ke Man’s daughter, and then her identity being exposed?
But that was, after all, the past generation’s thing. After some thought, he ultimately refrained from saying anything, and simply said weakly, “Don’t ask me. I don’t know either. Why don’t you ask Mr. Unas.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
When Yue Zhan came back, he noticed that Yi Nuo seemed a bit low-spirited and couldn’t help but ask with concern, “What’s wrong?”
Yi Nuo shook his head and sighed. “It’s nothing, just feeling a bit annoyed with Father Emperor being like this.”
Yue Zhan listened and commented, “The Majesty may want to regret, but unfortunately, there’s no medicine for regret in this world.”
After speaking, he couldn’t help but pull Yi Nuo into his arms, thinking happily that he had been favoured by the Heavens, allowing him to successfully chase his wife to the crematorium.
Yi Nuo didn’t know if the Emperor went to ask Unas, but when Yue Zhan learned that Unas was a merman babysitter, he did go to consult him seriously.
Although he had shown no mercy during the interrogation earlier, Unas, reflecting on the foolish things he had done, felt that he deserved it.
Upon hearing that Yue Zhan had come to consult for the little prince, he immediately shared all his knowledge and eagerly asked, “Your Highness, do you need a professional childcare expert? You must need one, right? How about me? In the entire Sea Country, only I have the most rich experience in raising mermaids.”
Yue Zhan said, “You’ve been released already. Hurry back to the Sea Country.”
Unas: “…”
He suddenly hugged the table and said, “No, no, I live very well here. You may not know, but I’ve been living in the Empire and the Federation for years now. I’m not used to going back to the sea. Especially the Empire. By the way, is the little prince going back to the Imperial Capital Star? Speaking of which, I really like the climate of the Imperial Capital Star. Are you really not in need of a childcare expert? Or tools for hatching eggs?”
Yue Zhan’s mouth twitched slightly as he said, “His Highness was going back to the Sea Country later?”
“What?” Unas immediately let go of the table and changed his tune, saying, “I miss my hometown too much. No, I can’t wait another moment. I must return to the sea immediately.”
Yue Zhan: “…” This guy became the national teacher by raising children? Otherwise, it’s a miracle that the Sea Country hasn’t perished yet.
No, it seems like it almost did.
Translator’s note:- Ahhh I love how Yue Zhan was like no matter if it’s a boy or girl, he can’t part with them ahhhh. Now THIS is a loving and green forest ML who instead of highly being jealous of his kids or see them as literal by-products actually wants them wuwuwuwuwu I’m so happy. FYI – a lil fun jealousy of kid MIGHT work if it’s rightly phrased like when ML or even MC are being coquettish when the baby is asleep:- “You haven’t been giving me enough attention lately or we haven’t been together for so long and then some good mutual papapa” heh now that’d be acceptable buttt being awfully jealous and even neglecting the baby, now you are a red forest instead ehhhh, thankfully this ML is a green forest~
Also if you like my translations then you can consider supporting me by buying me a Kofi, and for every 3 Kofi, there’ll be an extra chapter~
Kofi count for a bonus chapter:- 1/3
Yes, I also can’t stand MLs being jealous of their own kids =.=
Thank You for the new chapter -ω(´•ω•｀)♡
Thank you for the chapter 😍 ❤️ ❤️
