TN –
Extra chapter thanks to “dearreader”.
（づ￣3￣）づ╭❤～
Veni, Vidi, Vici.
I came, I saw, I conquered.
Everything I desire will eventually become mine in the end.
Xu Yintang’s words, even though they were about chasing dreams and sprinting through life, made Long Hao, who was thinking about dreams, feel sour. However, they made Shi Yuebai chuckle as if he had heard sweet words.
“That sounds great,” he said. His fluffy tail brushed against Xu Yintang’s leg, earning an angry glare from Second Treasure.
Even though it covered the five eyes in reality, it didn’t affect the countless eyes in its consciousness, seeing clearly the dark greed fleeting across the face of the male mistress.
But mom continued to fawn over the male mistress as if nothing was wrong, making the cub feel like he was about to lose his mind.
Xu Yintang absentmindedly ran his hand through Second Treasure’s soft fur. With the extra meals he had been having lately, Second Treasure’s fur had become even thicker, softer, and shinier than before. His round figure was now fluffy and silky, like holding a dreamy cloud in his arms.
Of course, he didn’t miss the momentary glimpse of greed that Shi Yuebai couldn’t hide. After all, some cubs should not lack attention in certain situations. Even Shi Yuebai couldn’t maintain his perfect disguise.
The overwhelming desire clouded his lover’s mind, turning him into a fierce beast guarding its prey, ready to tear apart any potential competition.
Xu Yintang liked it.
That kind of Shi Yuebai was dangerous, charming.
So cute that he couldn’t help but feel affectionate.
In the corner, Long Hao looked at the dragon knelt beside the corpse at the bottom of the lake, next to the silent dragon corpse, while on the other side, Xu Yintang and Shi Yuebai, who seemed indifferent, made him feel the deep malice of the world.
Although he wasn’t a lonely dog; he had several female friends who had reached maximum affection with him, there was a sense of desolation, as if when he opens his mouth, he will make a cry of loneliness.
But thinking of the nightmare scene of A-Jin and A-Duo turning into monsters in bed and licking him, Long Hao rubbed his arms, and that envy immediately disappeared.

Wait a little longer, wait a little longer.
The butterfly in the cocoon swallowed the terrifying nourishment of the nightmare, painting its wings with colors similar to that of the target it could sense – the elusive prey called “system”.
Third Flora restrained its wings, patiently directing the smoothly infiltrated cocoon on how to disguise and hatch. It was cautious by nature, even though it was only a step away from capturing its prey, it didn’t rush to its mother to show off.
Everything had to be done properly to avoid any possible intentions.
Especially when this plan came from Second Treasure’s subtly “little idea (to receive praise from mom)”, the sooner it ran to mom to boast, the less significant its efforts and importance would appear, while Second Treasure’s intelligence would be highlighted even more.
Third Flora didn’t want mom to suddenly remember that Second Treasure was the most useful among the cubs.
So the only condition it agreed to in teaming up with Second Treasure was that no one would let slip in front of mom until the matter was settled.
— Additionally, it was not allowed to tell Little Darling, who might let it slip in front of mom.
Although Second Treasure was very unhappy being manipulated by his younger brother Third Flora, he reluctantly extended his paw and formed a plastic alliance with Third Flora because he didn’t know what kind of new cub would be in mom’s belly.
They had to perform even more impressively and usefully before the new cub was born to seize more of mom’s favor.
As the cubs grew up, Xu Yintang intentionally ignored the whispers between the two cubs. But not knowing what they were saying didn’t stop Xu Yintang from speculating that they were definitely planning something big.
After all, the last time Second Treasure and Third Flora joined hands, the entire hospital became Third Flora’s nesting ground.
“Do we need to keep an eye on them?” Shi Yuebai whispered.
Xu Yintang glanced down at Second Treasure, who was acting innocent in his arms, and shook his head, ruffling his soft fur, “No need to worry, they know their limits.”
It’s not necessarily true that Little Darling would cause trouble, but Second Treasure and Third Flora would definitely not let things escalate to an uncontrollable level before kicking their big brother out of this family.
Even Little Darling, who had been silently connoted as having no brains, joined his two brothers to gossip. It stretched out its tentacles to scratch at Second Treasure’s fur, which had been tousled by mom, showing less confidence in its brothers than Xu Yintang.
Shi Yuebai, looking worried, watched as Little Darling’s tentacles twisted into knots, his eyes flashing, and with a smile on his lips, he nodded, acknowledging.
After mourning for A-Jiao, the dragon returned to his senses. Then he stood up straight, his expression completely devoid of any emotion.
Holding A-Jiao’s body, the dragon’s face was full of blood and tears, his expression trance-like. His figure seemed thinner and more ethereal than before, as if his soul was about to leave with A-Jiao.
In fact, he was completely unaware and indifferent to anything going on between Xu Yintang and Shi Yuebai.
Shi Yuebai, showed an expression of the respect that ordinary people should have.
Xu Yintang also fully utilized his not-so-excellent expression management skills and adjusted to a serious tone. Forgive him, from childhood to adulthood, he had never faced such a tragic death and had never received any formal moral education, making it difficult for him to express genuine mourning and shock like Long Hao.
Among all of them, only Long Hao’s emotions were the most sincere – he believed that no matter who it was, when holding the body of a loved one, even if it turned black and withered like a mummy, they should be moved by the deep affection that never wavered for beauty or decay.
“Please… please accept my condolences.” Long Hao stuttered as he comforted the ghost whose name he didn’t even know, casting a pleading look at Xu Yintang and Shi Yuebai.
Help! He only knew how to comfort sad girls! (T^T)
Xu Yintang, who was even less comforting than him, silently looked away, while Shi Yuebai stepped forward and shouldered the burden of advancing the plot.
“Let’s take her home,” he said sincerely and gently, with a respectful tone, as if reciting a template phrase from a funeral director comforting a bereaved family, “She must have been waiting for a long time.”
He gestured towards the body he was holding, seemingly oblivious to the former beauty and elegance of the corpse, as if his sight had a selective blind spot, completely ignoring the fact that the lower half of the body was not human legs, but a long fish tail.
The players of nightmare time had broad experiences, so they naturally wouldn’t be surprised by any strange corpses.
Unlike Long Hao, who was afraid of not being able to control his eyes from glancing at the fish tail on the corpse, to the point where he felt nervous and guilty as if he had done something wrong, a single glance from the dragon made him jump in fright and hide behind Xu Yintang. Startled by his own reactions, he ended up getting knocked unconscious by Shi Yuebai, who frowned at the dragon and apologized, “Sorry, he’s ignorant.”
The dragon was already indifferent to everything. He simply brushed his hand over A-Jiao’s body, and she was adorned in beautiful clothes. The long skirt wrapped around her fish tail, so when she fell into the water, her scales, which had fallen off and left her flesh dry, still shimmered brightly.
At a certain moment, Xu Yintang seemed to really see a mermaid swimming by. With her long black hair and fiery red fish tail, the woman laughed happily and brightly as she passed by.
Her body produced a large amount of foam, just like in a fairy tale, silently dissipating into the deep sea.
The dragon’s figure became increasingly dim and transparent.
He spent his final moments keeping his promise, opening his own treasure trove to Xu Yintang and Shi Yuebai. Inside were numerous treasures, not inferior to the burial accompaniments in Li Quan’s tomb.
“A-Jiao liked to give us things,” the dragon reminisced, taking one last look at the items, “But there’s nowhere to use them, so I kept them all here.”
“As for those clothes… if you don’t like them, let’s throw them into the sea together…”
Seeing the dragon’s figure completely disappear, Xu Yintang, holding the center of the spotlight, expressed doubt about a few of the clothes, “Are these clothes very valuable?”
“They’re very valuable to him,” Shi Yuebai confirmed as he felt the fabric, confirming that the material was the same as the two they had tried on before. “Legend has it that mermaids can weave the wind into silk, so these clothes were probably made by A-Jiao herself.”
“But they’re useless to us now.”
Shi Yuebai shrugged, dismissing the notification about the item’s binding. “Aside from being lightweight and breathable, these clothes don’t have any attribute bonuses.”
“In that case, let’s do as he said and throw them into the sea.” Xu Yintang had no interest in second-hand clothes from others, almost simultaneously dismissing the notification about the item’s binding as Shi Yuebai.
— What needed binding wasn’t these few pieces of clothing, but the entire treasure trove.
Seeing Shi Yuebai also uninterested, Xu Yintang decided to release the three cubs and let them sink to the bottom of the sea with the dragon.
Before the cubs set off, he specifically instructed Little Darling to supervise his younger brothers, allowing them to secretly eat a bit, but ensuring that they brought back enough to nourish the new cub.
Or if they brought everything back, what was left could be used as reserves for when the new cub was born.
The three cubs didn’t express any objections. They flapped into the sea as if giving up, and seeing Second Treasure’s little short legs paddling vigorously, Shi Yuebai couldn’t help but laugh, “When you say it like that, even if they wanted to eat, they won’t want to eat anymore.”
What determined cubs! They wouldn’t even consider eating the leftovers of their (non-existent) younger brother!
Oh, Little Darling probably may still eat it.
After all, the elder brother’s status was higher than those little matters. Being happy with oneself was the most important thing.
Otherwise, why would Xu Yintang specifically instruct Little Darling not to eat everything and remember to leave some food for the unborn brother?
Author’s Note –
The plot of this instance is about to reach a crucial point, which involves the sparkling debut of the “If storyline” and another important plot device. Every day, they struggle on the edge of the plot, wearing the mask of agony.
By the way, in the “If storyline”, LittleDarling, as a higher-ranked member in the nest, would indeed eat some useless brothers that mom doesn’t like.
Thanks for the chapter!
I keep wondering about how snake + fish became frog people.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING AWESOME!!
🧡🧡🧡Thank you for the chapter!!! I wouldn’t be upset if there was some cub cannibalism…. for new cubs only though, I’m already attached to the first 3, please and thank you
Nah, 2nd Treasure can be nommed. Or at least nommed until he learns his lesson, cause he seems to have forgotten the initial one.
Ehhhh I’m very excited for the 4th baby!!!
