About whether Shi Yuebai noticed Xu Yintang’s momentary coveting when he mentioned “this seems like a good host body for parasitism” regarding nurturing a new cub…
Any smart person knows that if he just thinks about it and doesn’t say anything, then it’s best not to dwell on it.
This is just an instinctive reaction brought about by alienation. The parasitic form of nurturing determines that Xu Yintang, as the “mother,” will inevitably favor a strong and vigorous entity as the host body. This is his initial expression of affection for the cub.
And if there’s anyone within hundreds of miles who is stronger and has caught Xu Yintang’s attention, Shi Yuebai would feel his position challenged.
Like the males entangled around a female anglerfish, or the praying mantis males fighting fiercely for a mate and competing against rivals, one must let go of sweet love and learn to enjoy the pleasure of sharing the deathbed with danger.
Perhaps at that moment, Shi Yuebai feels that if the deity he kisses is willing to show affection, then being devoured by it would seem like the ultimate honor.
And at times when he is clear-headed yet greedy, even if it means devouring the deity beside him and swallowing it whole, there is still a voice deep in his soul clamoring for insatiable desires.
Shi Yuebai wrapped his tail around Xu Yintang’s calf, his fingertips tracing the heated patterns on Xu Yintang’s lower abdomen. The nest hidden inside was restless and active, like a spider smelling the scent of its prey, weaving its web larger and stronger, greedily leaving no chance for escape.
Xu Yintang was tickled and felt hot from his touch, his muscles tensed as he couldn’t help but laugh a couple of times, and then he rolled over and grabbed Shi Yuebai’s hand to kiss him. Shi Yuebai clasped his fingers and joyfully deepened the kiss.
Later, as if nothing happened, he casually asked Xu Yintang who he plans to use to birth the new cub.
Although a smart cat knows not to dwell on trivial issues such as whether they have been temporarily treated as a host mother by their sweetheart, but he can’t pretend that he knows nothing.
Xu Yintang met Shi Yuebai’s gaze, then slightly shifted his gaze, rounding off his body language to imply guilt. Although that fluffy thought only flashed through his mind instinctively, the same subconscious guilt also passed fleetingly.
He chooses to compensate by leaning down to kiss Shi Yuebai’s forehead. Shi Yuebai accepted it happily, feeling emotionally closer, so the question was temporarily put on hold within Xu Yintang’s vague “I haven’t thought about it yet.”
Shi Yuebai openly monopolized Second Treasure’s source of happiness, leaving behind several tooth marks and red marks that would make Second Treasure jump and furiously stamp his feet, he asked, “By the way, is there enough time?”
He remembered that Xu Yintang had talked to him before about the situation when Third Flora was born. If the new cub couldn’t devour the mother body timely before they cleared the instance, Xu Yintang wouldn’t be able to bind them and bring them back to the real world.
Although this hidden instance world would continue even without them and wouldn’t reset to zero immediately after they cleared it like ordinary instances, leaving behind a cub of an evil god—and seeing the already born first, second, and third cub—it was evident that it would be a baby who couldn’t be separated from its mother, left in a world (temporarily) without a mother. The next time they entered the instance, they would probably witness the end of the world.
Shi Yuebai wasn’t worried about whether the world would be destroyed or not; he was only concerned about cubs with abandonment issues, complicating his already arduous path of rectification.

Xu Yintang looked at him with a worried expression, puzzled by his concern for his unborn cub. Reflecting on his previous remarks, he realized that he might have been misunderstood as intending to give birth in the instance, so he rephrased his explanation: “No need to worry, I’m not planning to give birth in the instance.”

In that case, it’s better to pack up the cub seeds and bring them back to give birth.
Xu Yintang patiently explained the importance of eugenics to the uterus, which was eager to immediately give birth to eight to ten children. Under the premise that he didn’t resist the reproductive instinct brought about by alienation, the uterus seemed to have calmed down a lot and produced a constant stream of restless and anxious emotions.
The blood-colored moonlight that couldn’t be digested in the uterus for a while became gentle and mild, gradually permeating into his body with an unprecedented cooperative attitude. He clearly felt his heartbeat accelerating, slight dizziness, and unprecedented clarity and sharpness of his senses.
Could this be… well, bodily conditioning during the preconception period?
This association amused Xu Yintang, so he shared it with Shi Yuebai lying beside him. Unfortunately, Shi Yuebai couldn’t grasp his sense of humor. Instead, he checked Xu Yintang’s energy flow with some concern, confirmed that Daeis’s power had not eroded excessively, and then frowned and tapped the bed with his tail, showing an unhappy expression.
Those unhappy expressions were deliberately displayed for others to see.
Xu Yintang tried to guess the reason. “Are you jealous?”
Shi Yuebai forcefully tapped the bed again with his tail, making a muffled sound. Xu Yintang knew he had guessed correctly.
Xu Yintang didn’t know why Shi Yuebai was so easily jealous of Daeis. It seemed as if he personified Daeis, thinking that they might further develop. But as far as Xu Yintang could see, the only two possibilities for further development with Daeis were either being consumed by Daeis’s corrupt influence and ceasing to exist or devouring Daeis along with his cubs
The former sounded terrible, and the latter had a success rate that Xu Yintang couldn’t find any reason for Shi Yuebai to be jealous about.
Shi Yuebai also wouldn’t actively mention Daeis’s title as “the father of the child,” which was annoying, but he used this incident to gain some temporary benefits for himself. He secretly calculated how to ensure that the sleeping child’s father would never wake up again.
Casey Cat, who was once again sent to check on the children, fully agreed with this. It purred expectantly while sharpening its claws.
As the cubs who were secretly tracking the village chief suddenly heard the roaring sound of a motorcycle engine behind them, they couldn’t help but turn their heads to glare angrily at Casey Cat (only Second Treasure has eyes in this case). Casey Cat immediately covered its mouth with its paws, drooped its ears, and swallowed the joyful purring sound, then explained in a low voice, “I’ve set up a barrier, they can’t hear it.”
Second Treasure hummed twice with his throat, his five eyes rotating to confirm the next blind spot position. His paws scratched to shrink Little Darling, who was entangled around him, and then he quickly sneaked past.
Usually, it’s Little Darling who gives his younger brother a ride, and rarely lets his younger brother take him away. His skin surface turned red and shiny, showing a shy expression.
Second Treasure licked his brother’s tentacles and raised his head proudly, wagging his tail.
I’m capable!
It’s worth a pat on the head and a belly rub from Mom, happy kisses three in a row.
Meanwhile, the village chief and his party remained unaware of the three cubs and a cat trailing behind them. With a stern face, the village chief instructed the woman beside him to prepare the boat, saying he would go out to sea in the afternoon. The woman beside him had no objections to the village chief going out to sea alone, and she obediently prepared the boat according to the village chief’s orders.
While waiting for the boat to be prepared, the village chief asked the Priestess, “How’s the elixir?”
The Priestess, no longer wearing her stern and harsh demeanor in front of the village chief, smiled gently and replied, “It’s almost ready, it won’t delay the main task.”
The village chief nodded and then said, “I’ll go take a look.”
The Priestess quickly reached out to support him and led the way ahead, while the other women’s faces showed jealous expressions but none dared to follow, as if the village chief and the Priestess were going somewhere they couldn’t go.
Casey Cat immediately knew that the tracking exercise with the cubs after dinner had hit the jackpot. While indulging in the tender embrace of Shi Yuebai in the depths of its soul, it lightly took a step forward— for a moment, it seemed as if there were two Casey Cats, one in front of the cubs as protection and the other behind to guard against ambushes.
But it was indeed only one.
Whether it was the butterflies of Third Flora or the countless eyes of Second Treasure’s true form, they could all testify that the so-called appearance of two cats at the same time was just a trick to deceive time, creating residual images.
Both Casey Cats were real, and both were illusory.
Such a cool little trick earned admiration from the cubs. Casey Cat wagged its tail tip lightly, promising to teach them the move once their bodies were strong enough to withstand the pressure of traversing time.
As for the time when Shi Yuebai first developed the move and Casey Cat complained about the high-speed left-right jumping being silly, those remarks were conveniently forgotten amidst the cubs’ praises.
Hehe, the cubs praised me for being awesome.
Saying it out loud would surely make Shi Yuebai envious to death.
Thinking about certain impossible scenarios, Casey Cat, along with the cubs, followed the village chief and the Priestess to a secluded house on the edge of the village.
The few women living inside saw the village chief and the Priestess, as if they seemed not to notice them, they lowered their heads and went about their own business. The village chief and the Priestess walked into the innermost room of the house, and the Priestess used her finger to smear blood on a cabinet, then pushed it hard, revealing a downward dark passage.
In the instant the cabinet moved, Casey Cat bit Second Treasure along with Little Darling, and sneaked into the passage under the village chief and the Priestess’s noses— Second Treasure wasn’t fast enough, and if he ran over, he would definitely get caught.
But even with Casey Cat’s agility, the village chief seemed to sense something amiss. His murky eyes glanced around, and his tongue protruded and retracted.
In his shadow, Third Flora’s butterflies flew up in a startled manner for a moment, and when they landed, there were fewer butterflies. The remaining butterflies immediately folded their wings and hid in their nests, shrouding themselves in murky shadows.
“Are you alright?” the Priestess asked cautiously.
The village chief licked his lips and shook his head, his voice deliberately hoarse and cold, with a hint of crackling noise, “Nothing, just a few tasty little bugs flying in.”
At that moment, Xu Yintang, who had just put on his clothes and was preparing to go out to meet the cubs, was suddenly hugged by the frightened Third Flora.
That village chief’s tongue is so long and ugly, and the fact that it can fork is so terrifying, wuwuwu…
He even ate my butterflies…
The butterflies that grew up so beautifully!
He ate three of them!
Scaring Third Flora to death! QAQ
Third Flora is so wronged!!! Third Flora wants Mom’s comfort!!!!!!
Author’s Note –
Third Flora: Scared the baby to death, wuwuwu
Third Flora: I got so scared that I accidentally parasitized a few butterflies, oops [Innocent]
👀👀is he a dying/molting sea dragon? He sounds gross, poor third flora
Thank you for the chapter🧡🧡🧡
I picked up in an earlier chapter that eating mermaid’s flesh is a healing panacea, so I’ve been thinking that the chief is a merman. And the elixir is made of him? All the men are mermen? Idk, but going to find out.
Somehow the village chief got grosser.
+1
😂🤢
Patiently explaining eugenics to the uterus 😭
So busy… explaining eugenics to the uterus, coaxing an unhappy thump thump tail, comforting a butterfly horde baby who got nibbled, and keeping track of cubs’ creative play… so busy… but that’s what a mom’s gotta do… hahahahahahahaha!
Third flora: Cries delicately 😢 MOM! I’ve been wronged. That village chief is so scary sniffs he has a creepy tongue and he ate three of my butterflies, THREE! I was scared to death, mom you have to comfort me.
My brain: We should definitely imagine that scene with the village chiefs tongue in vivid detail 🙃
Me: Wait, what!? The heck!! I didn’t ask for that.
My brain: Too late 🙃
Shi Yuebai: Danger is good too. (^_^)
I’m pondering between Daeis and Shi Yuebai who is the lawful wife and who is the mistress… XD XD
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING AWESOME!!
Daeis is the ex-wife, and Shi Yuebai is obviously Xu Yintang’s white moonlight (ha! pun heh!)
Scary
