Chapter 292: The Little Koi Awakes! (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
Little Zhenzhen pounced into her arms like a little cannonball.
Sang Luo was almost knocked over by it, and said with a smile, "It's been a few months, and you still have this much energy!"
Little Zhenzhen rubbed its head against her, acting spoiled, "Mommy hasn't come in so long, I missed Mommy!"
"Oh, you missed Mommy more, or Mommy's jerky more?"
Sang Luo took out two spicy salted jerky sticks and fed them to it. Little Zhenzhen held the jerky with its two small paws, crunching it fragrantly. It mumbled indistinctly, "Miss Mommy~ also miss jerky, hehe!"
Sang Luo chuckled.
She looked at the gray little phoenix on Little Zhenzhen's head, almost dizzy from its sister's shaking. She carefully took the little phoenix down and held it in her palm. It was only the size of her hand, covered in a layer of light yellow-gray down. Its tail had a few long, somewhat messy feathers. It felt soft and cuddly in her palm, making people want to protect it.
This was the little phoenix's first time seeing Sang Luo after hatching, but the instinctual closeness in its bloodline made it recognize her as its mother at once. It chirped crisply, "Chirp~ Mommy!"
"Hehe~ It really can talk. As expected of a royal beast cub, so smart." Sang Luo kissed its fluffy little body. It had a faint fragrance like feathers baked by the sun. "Mommy has finally waited for you two siblings to be born. Huh, there's another one."
Fei Yuan grabbed the other neglected, pitiful little chubby chick and sighed, looking at the only silly feather on its head that had also been burned off. "How did it get uglier after a few days? Is this really my cub?"
Hmph! Now that he has both a son and a daughter, it's not like he's eager to have more children, yet he's already finding fault! Sang Luo took the other little chubby chick into her arms, displeased, "If you think it's ugly, don't keep it. I'll let someone else raise it."
Si Ye happened to overhear this sentence. He was just about to chime in and say he'd raise it, but remembering the gazebo that was almost burned down, he decisively shut his mouth.
Fei Yuan smiled, "Even if it's ugly, it's still my child. Just based on its father's appearance, it will grow into a pair of handsome males and beautiful females."
"Look how proud you are!"
Now that he had children, Fei Yuan was in high spirits. Though he said they were ugly, his eyes were extremely gentle. He scooped both cubs into his arms, wishing he could take them everywhere he went.
"Which is the older one? Which is the younger one? The chubbier one should be the male cub, right?" Sang Luo tried to distinguish the two phoenix cubs. They were very different from the color of the eggshells. The two cubs were similar to Little Zhenzhen when it was first born, both gray. Only one was a little fatter and the other a little thinner.
She guessed the thinner one was the second child, the one that was malnourished in the womb.
When Fei Yuan was first born, he was probably this ugly and cute too… Thinking that these little chicks could grow into such magnificent and beautiful sacred fire phoenixes in the future, it was truly surprising and shocking!
Fei Yuan nodded, "Yes, the chubbier one is the male cub, the older one. The slightly thinner one is the second child, a female cub. But the second child hatched first. The older one was too lazy, hatching a few minutes later than its sister."
Sang Luo looked at the two cubs, then at Fei Yuan. She couldn't see anything else, but these two pairs of beautiful phoenix eyes really resembled their father. When they grow up and get new feathers, she wondered how beautiful they would be.
Fei Yuan's face looked a little thinner than a few days ago, and the angles of his eyebrows and eyes were sharper.
Sang Luo stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek, "Thank you, A Yuan."
Fei Yuan's eyes softened. Her words of thanks made it all worthwhile.
Moreover, compared to her carrying them for several years, his efforts were nothing.
"Luo Luo, what about me?" Si Ye came over, a little jealous.
Sang Luo kissed his handsome face as well, "A Ye also worked hard taking care of the children!"
Little Zhenzhen was the most troublesome and demanding of these cubs, one being equal to three!
Si Ye smiled, took her hand, and picked up Little Zhenzhen from her arms with the other hand.
"Have you eaten? I just finished making food and want to eat with the children."
Fei Yuan, "Not yet, just waiting to come here and freeload."
Si Ye, "Didn't make your portion!"
"Ah, then give me my son's portion."
The little chubby chick pecked its father's hand fiercely!
It was still drinking milk powder!
Shameless Dad!
After they were full, Fei Yuan also made milk powder for the two little ones, and after feeding them, he took them to the baby bed to sleep.
Sang Luo saw the eggshell bed on the baby bed and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This is…"
The four pieces of eggshell were still intact. When closed, they were two new eggs!
Presumably, after the two cubs hatched, Fei Yuan had carefully collected the eggshells.
"They haven't been hatched for long, and they are still relatively unfamiliar with the outside world. They like to nest in the eggshell when they sleep, so they sleep peacefully. I brought it back," Fei Yuan said. "A bird or beast only has one eggshell in its lifetime, which can be considered a bit special. They can keep it when they grow up."
"Yeah." Sang Luo looked at the two little phoenixes, huddled in the eggshell, sleeping quietly, her eyes soft. "It's a pity I couldn't watch the cubs hatch with my own eyes. I feel a little regretful when I think about it."
"What's there to regret? Let's have another litter, and you can watch it with your own eyes next time."
"Dream on!"
Sang Luo sent a message to Lou Xian Yue before going to bed.
【A Ze, I'm going to the South Sea to find you and the children tomorrow!】
The reply came quickly.
【Okay, I'll pack up. Are you coming in the morning or at noon? I'll make food and wait for you.】
His tone could not hide his happiness.
They had originally agreed to go three months ago, but it had been delayed for so long. Sang Luo felt a little guilty. Seeing that he didn't care, she smiled and said, 【I'll sleep in, and go over at noon.】
【Okay, I'll wait for you.】
In fact, Sang Luo went over early in the morning.
Lou Xian Yue had just finished feeding the baby when someone hugged his waist tightly from behind, resting her head on his back, and said softly, "A Ze, did you miss me?"
"How could I not miss you…"
Lou Xian Yue turned around and hugged Sang Luo, lowering his head and kissing her on the forehead.
"I was delayed by other things a few days ago and didn't have time to come over. I've always remembered it in my heart. Do you have something to tell me… The little koi has awakened!"
Sang Luo caught a glimpse of the pink and blue fishtail exposed at the hollow of the baby bed in the distance, as well as the small milk bottle hanging on the side of the baby bed. Little Blue Gum had already been weaned.
So that's the big deal he was talking about!
Sang Luo hurried over. The moment she clearly saw the mermaid little girl, her heart seemed to be hit hard, and pink bubbles emerged from her whole body.
Too beautiful! Too cute!
A pink and jade-like little baby, with light pink curly hair, clear water-blue round eyes staring at her and blinking, the pupils are vertical, like a translucent cat's eye stone, long, curly, thick eyelashes, pink, soft cheeks, blue-pink gradient chubby fishtail, a real mermaid princess transformed from a fairy tale book.
Lou Xian Yue couldn't help but smile when he saw her infatuated look. "Well, it seems that Little Gum is going to fall out of favor."
Sang Luo, "Both children are very beautiful, just like you!"
