Free Web NovelChapter 252: Chapter 252: The Sea Palace Protective Formation Activates
The two griffin cubs were still sleeping peacefully, their tiny bodies curled up cutely.
Han Soi placed them gently into Yue Yue’s waiting arms. The moment the little ones felt their mother’s warmth, their eyes fluttered opened. They looked up at Yue Yue with big, blinking, innocent eyes.
Yue Yue’s heart softened instantly. A tender smile spread across her face as she gazed at her precious babies. She gently patted their soft foreheads with her fingertips and cooed lovingly, "My babies... do you recognize me? Who am I?"
The two griffin cubs chirped happily in response, their little voices clear and sweet.
"Chirp...chirp."
Yue Yue’s eyes filled with warmth and joy. She leaned down and kissed their tiny heads softly.
Xing Luoye’s heart melted at the adorable scene. He leaned closer with a bright smile and asked playfully, "Then who am I?"
The griffin cubs stopped chirping immediately. They looked at him with curious eyes but stayed completely silent this time. Xing Luoye’s expression fell a little, his shoulders drooping in disappointment.
Han Soi looked down at the cubs as well. He wanted to know too. In a low, gentle voice he asked, "And who am I?"
This time, the small griffin cubs chirped again, though not as energetically as they had for Yue Yue.
Still, it was much better than the complete silence they had given Xing Luoye. Han Soi’s lips curved into a satisfied smile while Xing Luoye pouted visibly.
Yue Yue noticed the slight tension and quickly intervened before the two men could start fighting.
She could already see Xing Luoye, who was ready to compete or even fight till death over the cubs’ attention.
"Alright, my little ones," Yue Yue said softly but firmly, stopping any brewing argument. She held the griffin cubs carefully and began introducing everyone with a loving voice. "I am your mother. You must always listen to me and be good, okay?"
The cubs blinked and chirped softly in agreement.
Then she pointed at Xing Luoye. "This is your father, Xing Luoye. You can’t bully him, right?"
At her words, Xing Luoye’s expression twitched slightly. He looked both proud and a little embarrassed. Han Soi had to force himself to hold back a chuckle, his shoulders shaking silently.
Yue Yue continued without missing a beat. She turned slightly and pointed at Han Soi. "He is also your father. You have to love him too, alright?"
Han Soi’s eyes softened with deep affection as he nodded at the cubs.
Her gaze then fell on little Xiao Bai, who was still perched on Han Soi’s shoulder. Yue Yue’s eyes lit up with pure happiness. "My baby is also here! Come to momma!"
Xiao Bai happily slithered down and crawled onto Yue Yue’s shoulder, nuzzling against her neck affectionately. She stroked his smooth body with gentle fingers and introduced him warmly. "This is your big brother, Xiao Bai. You must give him lots of love too, okay?"
The griffin cubs chirped curiously toward Xiao Bai, who responded with a soft, content sound.
Yue Yue looked around the room with a content smile, then turned to Han Soi. "Where are Cang Yuze and Feng Yanshen?" freewebnøvel.coɱ
Han Soi replied in his calm, steady voice, "Something happened in the Sea Empire, so Cang Yuze left to check on matters there. And someone from the temple also came to request Feng Yanshen’s presence. He had to go to the temple, but don’t worry. He will be back tomorrow."
Yue Yue let out a soft sigh, a small trace of disappointment crossing her face. She didn’t say much, simply nodding in understanding. She knew their responsibilities were important.
She then focused all her attention on her three babies...the two griffin cubs in her arms and Xiao Bai on her shoulder. She cooed at them lovingly, patting their heads and stroking their small bodies with endless tenderness.
"My sweet babies... Mama is here. We will always be together," she whispered softly, her voice full of warmth and motherly love.
Yue Yue held her two small griffin cubs gently in her arms, her voice soft and full of love as she cooed to them. Little Xiao Bai stayed curled comfortably on her shoulder, listening quietly.
"My sweet babies," she whispered tenderly, patting their tiny heads. "You have three more fathers, okay? They are not here right now, but they love you very much."
She continued explaining in a gentle tone, making sure her words were easy and warm for the little ones.
"One is Feng Yanshen. He is very strong and protective. There is also Cang Yuze. He is kind and powerful. And there is Xing Luoguang too. They are not here at the moment, but they will come back soon to play with you. They will hold you, sing to you, and give you lots of love. Just wait a little longer, alright?"
The griffin cubs blinked their big eyes and chirped softly, as if they understood her. Xiao Bai nuzzled closer to her neck.
Han Soi and Xing Luoye stood nearby, watching the scene with gentle expressions.
Their eyes were warm and full of affection as they listened to Yue Yue introduce the rest of their family. The peaceful moment made both men feel content and happy.
Suddenly...
Boom!
A loud explosive sound echoed from somewhere outside. The noise was deep and powerful, shaking the entire room for a brief second. Everyone froze.
The sound disappeared as quickly as it had come, but it left behind a heavy silence. Yue Yue’s heart jumped. Han Soi and Xing Luoye immediately tensed, their bodies turning protective as they moved closer to the bed.
"Chhhh...chhhh."
The two griffin cubs started crying loudly. Their tiny bodies trembled as they let out sharp, scared chirps. Xiao Bai hissed in alarm and pressed himself tighter against Yue Yue’s shoulder.
Yue Yue hugged the cubs closer to her chest, trying to calm them. "Shh, it’s okay... Mama is here..."
Before anyone could say more, a bright formation suddenly lit up across the entire Sea Empire Palace.
From the large transparent window, Yue Yue could clearly see a massive orange shield spreading out like a dome. It glowed with powerful energy, covering the sky and the buildings in a protective layer. The light was strong and steady, visible even to her eyes.
Yue Yue was stunned. Her eyes widened as she stared at the glowing orange shield outside.
"What happened?" she asked, her voice filled with worry and confusion.
Han Soi moved quickly to the window, his expression serious and alert. Xing Luoye stayed close to the bed, one hand resting protectively on Yue Yue’s shoulder while he gently stroked the crying cubs to calm them.
The griffin cubs continued whimpering softly, their earlier happiness gone. Xiao Bai stayed tense, his small body coiled tightly.
Yue Yue rocked the cubs in her arms, her heart beating fast.
Han Soi turned back from the window, his voice calm but firm. "Stay here with the cubs. I will go check what is going on."
Xing Luoye nodded, his usual playful attitude replaced by sharp focus. "I will stay and protect Yue and the children."
Yue Yue held her babies tighter, still staring at the glowing orange shield that now covered the entire area. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
She did not know what had caused the loud explosion or why the protective formation had activated so suddenly.
