More accurately, the main reason for this entire sea area turning into this hellish scene is the dragon corpse.
No, of course it’s not Xu Yintang, the mother, trying to shift the blame from his own children. He admits that his children have been well-fed recently and have grown considerably in all aspects. They certainly do have an adverse effect on ordinary creatures just by being there—especially after they terrorized a few free-range chickens.
But their pollution on ordinary creatures, no matter how strong, is only from infants born two months ago. The combined impact of the three of them wouldn’t exceed five times the size of Little Darling when fully expanded. The current state of the sea, however, with all its water seemingly turned into a bloody mess, can’t be attributed to his cubs. Since his children couldn’t do it, it must be the other protagonist from last night.
Regarding Mother Xu’s conclusion that his three children combined couldn’t spread so much pollution, Second Treasure expressed considerable dissatisfaction. In the consciousness realm, he growled and showed his sharp claws, only to be dismissed by Third Flora, who plastered his face with butterflies.
Although Third Flora also doesn’t agree with Mother’s conclusion, thinking that they together could at least pollute an area ten times the size of Little Darling’s, given the depth of the water and the complex food chain, but with Mother now appearing ready to discipline his children, pretending to reflect on their mistakes quietly like a good child, is better than getting punished together with his brother.
Second Treasure, with a sneaky tongue out, exuded a smug air, taking advantage of the absence of anyone around to slip into Mother’s arms from the pet space, first showing his furry belly and rubbing Mother’s hand, then extending his tender little tongue to lick Mother’s finger, blinking his five eyes, the iridescent dreamlike light shining in their depths.
Instantly, a very comfortable and cozy mood was created, even though it’s still in the scene of dirty seawater without any atmosphere, making people feel as if they are standing on a beach with blue sea, blue sky, and golden sand, enjoying the refreshing sea breeze. Second Treasure assured that even if they didn’t pollute the seawater for the sake of delicious food, this sea would never have such a dreamlike and beautiful scenery.
But looking at the unaware Shi Yuebai beside him, Xu Yintang knows that such a dreamlike and beautiful scenery is exclusive to him.
He couldn’t help but chuckle, tapping Second Treasure’s wet nose, “I’ll teach you a lesson again.”
Second Treasure let out a pitiful whimper, blinking his five eyes, but inside he sneered at his stinky little brother. Knowing that as long as he finishes the leftover food in the sea, he won’t cause any trouble for Mother, and this round of challenges will be smoothly passed with ease.
Even if he has to eat Mother’s fried pork with bamboo shoots, he’ll definitely pick them up high and put them down gently.
Maybe if Mother hits him too hard, Mother will give him a cuddle.
Facing Second Treasure’s gnashing teeth, Third Flora hasn’t figured out how to counterattack yet. Little Darling happily extended its tentacles and wrapped them around its brother’s tail ball, rubbing affectionately.
There’s nothing in this world that scares Little Darling more than Mother being angry, so it’s amazing that his brother can make Mother happy!
Second Treasure proudly raises his chin, and then, with his tail wagging, invited Mother to watch their hunt in the sea tonight—just like all children who practice hard and look forward to Mother watching their performance, it’s hard to refuse those wet and watery grape-like eyes.
Hmm, those.
Lately, whenever Second Treasure throws a tantrum, he seems to grow a few more eyes on his face, as if he thinks it will make his eyes more convincing.

But when Xu Yintang touched him again, he understood instantly and immediately spoke up, “We’ll have to contact the ritual. After it ends, Long Hao should be able to delay those women… Till noon? Or later?
Xu Yintang adjusted Second Treasure’s fur in his arms and said, “At noon, it’s not a big deal. And Third Flora said the village arranged for an outing on the sea this afternoon, probably to locate that dragon corpse.”
Shi Yuebai leaned over and kissed his cheek, smiling, “Just leave it to Casey, he’s more than happy to help.”
The way Shi Yuebai said this made it seem as though Xu Yintang could almost hear Casey Cat swearing profusely in his subconscious. He lightly kissed back and asked, “Really?”
“Really.” Shi Yuebai squinted his eyes, grabbed Xu Yintang’s hand in this position, and also ran his fingers through Second Treasure’s fur, “As long as you’re willing to touch, he’ll be willing to do anything, even braving the fires of hell.”
This statement sounded even more provoking than before. Casey Cat, who was grumbling, suddenly fell silent as if a crow had pecked his tongue. After a while, he murmured softly to add that it would take at least five minutes of petting.
Shi Yuebai’s smile remained unchanged as he skillfully pinched Second Treasure’s sharp claws, giving Casey Cat a 40% discount, “Hmm, you’ll have to pett for at least three minutes.”
His jealousy was revealed, but Xu Yintang didn’t expose him. It had been a long time since he had touched Casey Cat’s fur, and he actually missed the silky smooth feeling like velvet.
…
The morning ceremony practice was uneventful, even more relaxed and perfunctory than yesterday’s. The sea’s changes made the girls uneasy, even A-Jin seemed a bit uncertain. Although she appeared normal on the surface, she made mistakes in her dance movements several times and almost collided with the people around her when changing formations.
At such times, she didn’t have much intention to flirt with men, and most of her energy was spent on comforting the other girls in the village.
According to Third Flora’s frontline report, the stern female priestess specifically instructed A-Jin, telling her that the village would handle the situation and asked her to comfort the other girls, so as not to delay the normal conduct of the ceremony due to panic.
The priestess didn’t say how the village would handle the situation, but A-Jin seemed to believe her words very much and had great faith in the village’s capabilities. This made her emotions much more stable than those of other girls. She didn’t suddenly burst into tears like the girls who had witnessed the dirty appearance of the sea or lock herself at home in fear.
However, what was strange was that even though the village women were afraid, and even though they were trembling with fear and praying in their houses, no one showed any signs of wanting to leave, at least no one showed any signs of wanting to leave on the surface.
Only one or two girls showed little response to the guests’ attentiveness. Their response was secretive and ambiguous. It was only after Shi Yuebai’s prompting that Xu Yintang discovered the mystery behind the one or two seconds of looking at each other and their hair flicking.
When the practice ended, it was time for Long Hao, the handsome scapegoat, to take the stage. Xu Yintang specifically instructed Third Flora’s butterflies to keep an eye on him more, so as not to have any accidents before the end of the instance.
The butterflies reassured Xu Yintang that they would definitely eat up all the bad people who harbored ill intentions towards Long Hao, ensuring that not even bone fragments would be left.
For the same reason, Shi Yuebai also left some protective measures on Long Hao. After all, the progress bar of the system task worth a million points hadn’t even reached half, although he didn’t lack this amount of gaming points, it was always better to have more points.
All of these were things Long Hao didn’t know. Seeing the sea so polluted that even his brain seemed contaminated after that sight, he increasingly admired his wisdom in cooperating decisively with Xu Yintang yesterday—he didn’t know what made him so sure, but both he and the system were confident that Xu Yintang and Shi Yuebai were definitely related to the sea’s anomaly.
So Long Hao worked very hard, not only flirting with A-Jin and A-Duo, but also attracting another girl named A-Zhu to talk to him.
A-Zhu looked younger than the other girls in the village, Long Hao estimated she was only twelve or thirteen years old. As a normal person with a basic moral bottom line, he initially wanted to avoid A-Zhu, but he soon found that when A-Jin and A-Duo, as well as the other girls around, saw A-Zhu, they all showed strange expressions. A-Zhu also didn’t dare to approach this side too much, feeling out of place among the other girls.
Long Hao instinctively felt that he had caught an important clue. Pretending not to notice the subtle atmosphere between them, he greeted A-Zhu with a hearty smile and casually asked about her from the other girls.
After years of training and intense practical experience with the system, Long Hao’s skills in coaxing women were as proficient as Xu Yintang’s skills in dealing with his mother. Even if Shi Yuebai took over, he might not be able to extract as much information from these girls as Long Hao could.
…
While Xu Yintang and Shi Yuebai were enjoying their lunch break conversation, they received a message edited and compiled by Long Hao—along with some speculations he had discussed with the system and his extreme worries about his own life.
Glancing at his phone by the bedside, Xu Yintang summarized, “Aunt A-Gen has a daughter named A-Zhu, who is said to have eloped with a man from another village when she was young and had a child. Later, when the man changed his mind, Aunt A-Gen couldn’t stay there anymore and had to bring her daughter with her.”
To this, A-Duo showed great disdain, “It’s not like there are no men in the village.”
—Long Hao expressed his shock at A-Duo’s words in bold red font, as if he were so surprised that he turned into a meme, eliciting laughter from the girls.
“Do you guys not have men here?!!!!”
A-Jin chuckled and replied, “Look at what you’re saying, the village is full of men. Besides, it’s not like she’s some daughter, it’s just that the men have their own business to attend to, so they don’t live with us…”
She didn’t finish, implying that the men in the village were busy refining elixirs and lived in a secluded place far from the village. Long Hao couldn’t verify the truth of this statement, so he simply wrote it down and sent it to Xu Yintang’s phone.
Xu Yintang asked Third Flora about it, and Third Flora also reacted very strongly to the presence of men from the village and beyond. The butterflies fluttered out for miles but didn’t find any abnormal hiding places.
“It’s okay, Third Flora is already very capable.” Xu Yintang comforted the somewhat dejected Third Flora, gently coaxing the cubs to play outside on their own, then let Shi Yuebai carefully check that there were no prying eyes left by the cubs in the room, and then chatted with him about various things based on the information provided by Long Hao.
Shi Yuebai cooperated very well with him, and they did discuss some possibilities about the existence of men from the village. However, he knew that Xu Yintang must have deliberately kept the cubs away for a reason other than this trivial matter, so he patiently waited for Xu Yintang to get to the point.
After chatting about the daughter A-Zhu, born out of Aunt A-Gen’s elopement, and the peculiar feeling of uniformity in the age group of the women in the village, as if they collectively gave birth every few years, Xu Yintang finally broached the main topic he wanted to discuss with the pretext of using the cubs to distract himself.
“Here, it’s very interested in that dragon carcass.” Xu Yintang pointed to his lower abdomen, where the foul smell of the sea spread, and the “uterus” inside seemed to be active—unlike the straightforward and fervent desire for reproduction when facing the Fair Seedlings before, this time the desire became more cunning and elusive, quietly entangling from the uterus to Xu Yintang’s soul.
“So if I watch the cubs hunt tonight, there might be another one.” Xu Yintang said calmly. He was well aware of the influence of this excitement and desire for a new life from the “uterus,” yet he admitted that he couldn’t dispel the thought of “having another one wouldn’t be bad.”
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have deliberately distracted the three cubs. Just by mentioning this possibility, he could ensure that the three cubs would immediately rush to eradicate the dragon carcass without leaving the slightest chance for the new cub to be born.
And Xu Yintang couldn’t explain why he discussed this matter with Shi Yuebai. Their relationship hadn’t even reached the stage of physical contact yet, so lying together and discussing the topic of having another child was indeed a bit strange. Xu Yintang frowned even as he spoke, shaking his head and adding, “Um… just wanted to let you know.”
Shi Yuebai’s response, however, was quicker. Leaning over, he touched his forehead to Xu Yintang’s, asking with some expectation and surprise, “Is there anything I can help with? I mean, if you’ve decided, I’d be more than happy to assist you.”
Xu Yintang remained silent for a moment.
He denied that in that instant, he couldn’t help but glance at Shi Yuebai’s stomach.
