Chapter 138: Chapter 138: He Looks Just Like His Father

Ying Kong choked. "...I’m a little short on coins lately."

Feng Si immediately sympathized.

She had recently converted her coins into real estate, and her Coin Card was nearly empty.

The money she earned from opening her shop and live streaming today was a little over 1.8 million coins, not even enough to afford the two million needed to hire two bodyguards to go outside the city.

Feng Si said, "Let’s wait a while. Once I have enough coins, I’ll definitely look for you again."

Ying Kong: "..."

Ying Kong was rendered speechless for once. He had just seen Feng Si buy a house without batting an eye, and now, in the blink of an eye, she was out of money! ’I never thought I’d be turned down for this reason.’

...

For the past few days, Feng Si’s focus had been on Yun Chi’s one-month celebration.

She had no friends or family here, so she didn’t need to invite any guests for a banquet, but she still wanted to celebrate it properly.

On the day of the celebration, the manor’s living room was filled with festive flowers and balloons. She spent one million coins on the freshest meat and invited all the sub-females in the manor for a meal, creating a lively atmosphere.

She also purchased two million coins’ worth of meat and vegetable stew cans in Yun Duo’s name and donated them to the children in Pantian City’s shelters.

The third thing she did was personally draw a modern, Q-style Chi Dragon to serve as the logo for Si Shi.

A chubby black Chi Dragon undulated its body like a wave, its four short, stubby claws treading on splashes of water. Its round, bright golden eyes stared forward adorably, and to the side, the two characters for ’Si Shi’ were written in sharp, calligraphic strokes.

She sent the original artwork to a vendor that made labels and seals, ordering fifty thousand sets along with the cans.

These were all the external celebrations. As for the cub Yun Duo himself, he received his mother’s full attention all day, and in the evening, a room was set up for him like a cub’s playground.

There was no one else in the playroom. The temperature was warm, so Feng Si helped Yun Chi take off the little coat that covered his four claws and placed him on the carpet.

Yun Chi was ecstatic. The first thing he did was look at the play area filled with round balls.

He looked back at his mother, and seeing her sit down on the carpet, he confidently slid into the ball pit. He batted at the balls with his claws and swished his tail nimbly through the pile, as if searching for something.

After a moment, Yun Chi hugged a small blue ball with his two front claws. His eyes shining, he let out a "HISS!" at Feng Si, lifting his claws high to show her.

Feng Si had ordered these small balls from outside. They were similar to the colorful balls found in a human child’s playpen—hollow and light, so there was no worry of them injuring a small child.

She had washed and dried every single ball before bringing them in. When she was pouring them into the pit, Feng Si had also casually tossed in the seven or eight blue balls that Yun Chi had stored with her in her dimensional space.

The ball Yun Chi was now holding up for her was one of the very blue balls his mother had made by hand.

Feng Si smiled faintly and praised him, "You’re amazing, sweetie."

Praised, Yun Chi tossed the little blue ball onto the carpet outside the pit. He watched it roll to a stop, then, with a flick of his tail, he excitedly went back to digging for treasure.

He didn’t even glance at the slide and swing in the room. Finally, after finding all his special balls and playing to his heart’s content, Yun Duo lay in the ball pit, coquettishly stretching out his little claws toward his mother, asking to be held.

Feng Si bent down, reached in, and scooped the little one into her arms. She looked down at him, her expression softening as she saw him yawn with his little pink mouth, happy from all the play.

After giving Yun Duo a bath, she watched as the little one fell asleep nestled on her shoulder, just like always.

Feng Si didn’t sleep. She kept lifting her wrist to check the time, waiting for the little one to transform into his human form. For the first time, she found the passage of time agonizing as she watched Yun Chi sleep soundly, showing no signs of change.

’Maybe there’s something wrong with his body, something I haven’t noticed? Is that why he hasn’t taken human form...?’

As panic and unease rose within her, Feng Si made a decision.

’Forget it. If I’m discovered, I’m discovered.’

’If Yun Duo still hasn’t transformed into his human form by tomorrow, I’ll take him to the Sacrificial Hall to have him checked.’

As if sensing his mother’s anticipation in the unseen world, Yun Chi stretched his body and limbs with all his might in his sleep. He felt his body widening, his claws lengthening.

A tiny human baby was now resting on her shoulder.

Feng Si noticed the little one’s change immediately. Surprise flooded her heart, and her eyes grew a little red.

His fine, soft black scales had turned into a baby’s delicate, milky-white skin. His four short, chubby black claws were replaced by pudgy little hands that resembled lotus roots. His long tail was gone, replaced by two plump little legs curled naturally upward.

The little one’s human form was a size smaller than a newborn human baby. His little face was as exquisite and beautiful as a doll’s—he was absolutely the cutest, most delicate infant in the whole world.

Feng Si was panicking inside, but on the surface, she calmly recalled the proper way to hold an infant as shown on the light screen.

Mimicking the memory, she supported his head with one hand and his bottom with the other. With slightly trembling hands, she cradled Yun Duo in her arms and wrapped him in the towel she had prepared beforehand.

Yun Chi opened a pair of round, golden eyes. He turned his head in a daze, and a short tuft of black hair brushed against her palm, tickling her slightly.

He opened his mouth, his long eyelashes fluttering. The sound that came out wasn’t a hiss, but a milky little, "Ah."

Feng Si’s heart was about to melt from the cuteness.

Under the soft light, a palm-sized baby was wrapped in his swaddling clothes. His milky-white little hands rested on the collar of the bundle, and a pair of pure golden eyes blinked up at the mother holding him, full of pure adoration.

"Good boy, did Mama wake you up? Go back to sleep, baby." A smile on her lips, Feng Si watched the little cub in the crook of her arm slowly being lulled back to sleep.

The little one’s features were exquisite and very similar to his father’s—the same black hair, golden eyes, and pale skin. The only difference was that one was an adorable cub, while the other was an adult male beast with an overwhelming presence.

Feng Si knew that a one-month-old cub could only maintain its human form for a short time, but she hadn’t expected Yun Chi to change back the moment he fell asleep.

However, Feng Si wasn’t too disappointed. Whether Yun Duo was in a human form like her or in the form of a Chi, he was still the one she had hatched from an egg.

Besides, she had read about it in books. After all, a cub in human form, lacking even the ability to walk, wouldn’t be able to survive in the wild.

All male beast cubs subconsciously maintain their beast form. It makes them feel more secure, so she wouldn’t force Yun Duo to use his human infant form.

Feng Si wanted Yun Duo to grow up safe, free, and without constraints.

But when she remembered the little face that looked so much like his father’s, she started to feel a little apologetic toward Yun Duo. She spoke to him silently in her heart. ’Don’t worry, my baby.’

’Even though you’ve lost your position as the Young Master of the South Desolate Continent, I will make you the King of Coin in the entire Beastman World.’
