Jellyfish

Chapter 69

Hello, everyone. My name is Hu Yu, and I live in Qing Qiu.

I was born in a lake. Speaking of which, this lake has a great history.

According to legends, in ancient times, the great demon of the Fox Clan, Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Daji, used to play by this lake. You could say that this lake watched over Qing Qiu, watching all the foxes of different sizes live and reproduce here.

You might be wondering why I was born in a lake and lived in Qing Qiu. Am I not a fox, but a fish?

No, no, no. I'm not a fox, but I'm not a fish either. I'm a strange creature. I can turn into a fox and a fish. At first, I was confused about my origins. Later, my great grandfather, a White Fox, came to take a walk by the lake and said that in ancient times, there was a mighty Kun Peng that could fly in the sky and dive into the sea.

After hearing this ancient legend, I believed that I was a descendant of the Kun Peng. I even named myself Hu Yu, which meant that I could be the king of the land and the king of the sea.

I felt that I was different!

The Little Fox that grew up at the same time as me all laughed when they heard about my origins. They said that I was thinking too much. I was very angry. What did I do wrong?

Three months after I was born, one day, I was swimming freely in the water. Suddenly, several tentacles wrapped around my limbs and tried to drag me to the bottom of the water.

I didn't panic at all. Instead, I gave a cold, noble smile. Hmph, the water monsters in the lake aren't obedient anymore. I was born with intellect. I could run and swim. How could I panic just because a few tentacles got into the water?

They want to see me make a fool of myself? No way!

I calmly changed my breathing pattern. After I entered the water, my limbs suddenly elongated. At the same time, my red fur secreted a sticky liquid. Hehe, it's amazing. Just wait until I shake my limbs, and I can escape!

I shake, I shake, I shake … Eh?

Why can't I escape?

While I was surprised, an unknown creature suddenly appeared in front of me. It had a soft head and many tentacles below. Its entire body was covered in water. It looked … Eh, delicious?

I shouted, "Hey!

Who are you?

How dare you make fun of me? "

The soft creature on the opposite side seemed to be stunned. I thought proudly, it must have been frightened by my condition in the water.

Ha!

You've never seen a water fox as precious and magical as me, right?

Unexpectedly, the mysterious creature in front of me turned into a tall man. The man reached out and grabbed me by the back of my neck. "I'm your father."

I … I was dumbfounded.

What … what nonsense!!

I am a descendant of the Kun Peng!

I can go to the heavens or the sea. Alright, going to the heavens is bullshit, but maybe that's because my bloodline is no longer pure and has degenerated?

When I grow up, I might be able to fly!

The man opposite him stretched out his hand and shook it. "Are you stupid?"

I was furious. "You're the idiot!"

The man on the other side said, "Oh, what a pity. If he was an idiot, he would have thrown it away."

After I heard that, the anger in my heart disappeared and turned into grievance.

In the Fox Tribe, I was an outlier. When I was born, I didn't have parents. I was born in a lake surrounded by water. Although I was a fox, I had another form. I saw my siblings being taken care of by big foxes, but I could only quietly soak in the lake, alone. I believed that I had an extraordinary background, but I was always mocked by my friends.

That's why I've always dreamed, dreamed that one day my parents would come down from the sky on multicolored auspicious clouds, blinding those little foxes' eyes, and bring me home, not a soft monster like you!

I glared at him and wanted to scold him, but when I met his misty eyes, a feeling of intimacy arose from the bottom of my heart. The words on the tip of my tongue became …

"Are you really my father?"

The man looked at me with disdain. "You don't want to admit it?

That's good. I don't want it. "I didn't want to disturb the two of us.

I couldn't hold it in anymore. "Wow!!!"

"You said that it would take one hundred years to be born!!"

Hua Ji held the crying Little Fox in his arms and roared at Shui Mu. "In the end, after three months of filming, the child can play with water demons!

You lied to me!! "

Shui Mu was gloomy. "How could I know that he would come out so early?

It's my first time having a child with a symbiotic partner. I didn't know either!! "

Hua Ji was still roaring. "Then, why did you tell me that it would take one hundred years?

Now, it's good!

The child thinks that he's the descendant of the Kun Peng. Wouldn't he be laughed at if he told others? "

Shui Mu came up with a bad idea. "If you don't like it, why don't you put it back and give birth to another one?"

Hua Ji was furious. When the Water Fox in his arms heard this, the impact was even greater. She cried even more miserably.

"Nonsense!

How are you going to put it back? "

Hua Ji realized that he had been dragged into a ditch. He immediately scolded, "No, it's not about putting it back!!

Who said that I don't like it?!

He's my son!

Anyone can dislike him, but you can't not like him!! "

Shui Mu muttered, "I didn't say that I don't like him. I just said that we can have another one. Anyway, he won't acknowledge us. There are so many foxes in Qing Qiu. We can just find a father …"

Before he could finish his sentence, a huge fireball smashed into his face. Shui Mu wanted to dodge it, but seeing Hua Ji's angry expression, he pretended to be sent flying and directly fell into the lake, not bothering to show his face.

Hua Ji stared at the lake angrily. When he realized that Shui Mu was determined to hide in the lake, he was so angry that he spat and looked down at the child in his arms.

Little Fox was very small. It was only the size of two palms. If it was another family's Little Fox that was born three months ago, it would be the size of a forearm. However, due to its bloodline, this child's growth was extremely slow. It curled up into a ball and sobbed in his arms. The fur on its body would turn into water from time to time. It was so pitiful that it looked like it was going to melt.

Hua Ji's eyes were filled with guilt. He hugged Little Fox tightly. The demonic power in his body slowly flowed into Little Fox's body. After a while, the water droplets that kept falling down disappeared. It finally stabilized its form and wouldn't melt with a touch.

Hua Ji said gently, "You are the child of Shui Mu and I. I am a three-tailed firefox and he is a Jellyfish sea monster. His power is stronger than mine. The power of water in your body is much stronger than the power of fire. In order for you to be born successfully, we put you in the lake."

Little Fox stopped sobbing. He raised his small head and leaned against Hua Ji's arms. His two front paws nestled in front of Hua Ji's chest. His light golden eyes seemed to be moistened by water as he looked at him timidly.

Hua Ji looked into Little Fox's eyes. His heart melted into water. He gently stroked Little Fox's eyebrows and said even more gently, "Previously, Shui Mu and I would come back to see you every half a month. At that time, you were still a light red ball of light. You were soft and round. Shui Mu and I took turns to transfer power to you and watched you slowly grow."

Hua Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Shui Mu told me confidently that you would need at least a hundred years to be born. After all, he is an ancient sea monster. He is too powerful. Ordinary Microjellyfish can reproduce at will. However, if they want to give birth to a descendant that can truly inherit their power and bloodline, it will be extremely difficult."

"Previously, something happened outside. Shui Mu and I had to deal with the problem for three consecutive months. Before we left, we purposely left behind three times the power that we used to have for you to grow. However, we didn't expect that this power would stimulate you to be born directly. That's why we weren't by your side when you were born."

Little Fox tilted his head and said weakly, "Then, then are you really my blood relative?"

"Yes, Shui Mu and I are your blood relatives."

Hua Ji kissed Little Fox's head. A trace of tenderness flashed across his eyes. "You are our child. We will never abandon you. I swear."

Little Fox looked at Hua Ji in a daze. He carefully rubbed against Hua Ji's chest and nodded softly. Finally, he smiled.

When Hua Ji saw the smile on the little fox's face, he felt as if a flower had bloomed in his heart. He decided to transform into a three-tailed fox and encircle the little fox within his body. Feeling the resonance between their bloodlines, as well as the similarity between their fox forms, the little fox giggled.

He imitated the other Little Fox he saw and began to rub, bite, and climb up and down his blood relative. His heart felt like it was about to fly out. He was extremely happy.

I have Daddy and Mommy!!

… Hm?

Wait a minute.

Little Fox burrowed into his big fox's chest and rubbed against it carefully for a long time. He didn't find … Cough, cough.

He stuck his head out and leaned in front of Hua Ji. He asked curiously, "You are Daddy, right?"

Hua Ji nodded.

Little Fox said, "Oh … Then the Jellyfish sea monster is Mommy?"

Hua Ji, "… Uh."

Hua Ji's face darkened. "No, he is also your Daddy."

Little Fox was confused. "Both are Dads?

No Mommy? "

"Yes, you are of the same sex." Hua Ji said seriously, "So you were born in the lake. Do you understand?"

Little Fox, "QAQ, I don't understand!"
