Chapter 269

Chapter 269 “An outsider?” Upon hearing this, the overseers exchanged glances, as though they had heard a huge joke. “How could it be an outsider? No one’s bloodline is more legitimate than our young clan leader’s”

He was not only the offspring of an SSS–level female and an 55–level male but also inherited the Eldergene Awakening from the clan leader. They thought such a miracle happening in the Sea Race must be the blessing of the Beast God.

The entire Sea Race was in an uproar, their hearts racing with excitement.

The middle–aged female stared blankly at the screen projected by the overseers.

On the screen, the little Merfolk with a silver–white fish tail was swimming energetically in the sea, surrounded by numerous high–ranking Sea Race individuals in beast form.

Although he was just a newly hatched tiny offspring, his features clearly reflected his father’s likeness, combined with his mother’s grace. It was obvious that he was the child of Nyx and Seafarion.

“Impossible,” the middle–aged female muttered to herself, “Fake, It must be fake. The belief she had been clinging to shattered, and her mind went blank, causing her to collapse. “I don’t believe it. Scafarion clearly doesn’t have biological offspring.”

She thought. ‘Offspring can’t be born just like that. Even if Seafarion wanted a direct heir, there’s no way it could happen so quickly.

Looking at the delirious middle–aged female, the overseer frowned, unable to understand what was going through her mind.

There wasn’t any before, but there is now. Today, the young clan leader just hatched.”

He thought. The clan leader is in good health, and his relationship with Lord Nyx is great. It’s only natural that they have offspring.

With the Beast God’s blessing, their child just happened to be born at this time, fulfilling the former clan leader’s dream and leaving him without regret.

The old clan leader not only held his great–grandchild in his arms and announced him as the heir, but he had also personally witnessed the child’s hatching–watching the little Merfolk, identical to Seafarion, swim through the same waters. and bask under the same sun.

He was finally able to close his eyes in peace. At the moment of his passing, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. On the instrument display, accompanied by a clear tone, all values reset to zero.

Seafarion held the child, staying by the side. Both of them were shedding tears. Their Merfolk Pearls dropped to the ground with a clear sound, as though playing a sorrowful tune, and the entire sea resonated with the mournful song.

Nyx’s chest felt heavy, as if something was blocking it.

Even though she had got a satisfying answer about death from the Divine Tree, facing the death of a loved one still left her reluctant to let go..

Realizing that she had to part with the former clan leader, Nyx couldn’t help but take a deep breath, her gaze seriously locking onto each of her mates and offspring.

She couldn’t fight death, but before their time ran out, she could cherish the people around her.

Sensing what Nyx was thinking, the Divine Tree mark on her chest suddenly shifted as if wanting to say something but stopped.

1/4 05:48 Tue, 4 Mar D Chapter 269 The day the old clan leader passed away, the Sea Race Stars rang with mourning bells, and everyone mourned together for the old clan leader The birth of the young clan leader slightly palliated their grief over the old clan leader’s passing.

Seafarion stayed at the old residence, dealing with the various matters afterward. Nyx stayed here with the child to ccompany him. Once everything was settled, the family went on a trip to clear their minds Gabby, under one year old, still couldn’t transform into human form, so his movements were limited on land. Most of the time, he was held by her father. But this didn’t stop him from having a great tim From birth until now, this was his first time traveling far. He rode in a large spacecraft, visiting various planets. The outside world was as exciting as the neral.

The linle Merfolk’s eyes sparkled as he looked around, observing everything “Mom, I want to eat that. His chubby little hand stretched out, pointing at a barbecue stall nearby.

Throughout the journey, the phrase she heard most often from him was this. Nyx nodded and agreed while helplessly exchanging a look with Seatarion.

“So greedy, who does she take after?” Nyx couldn’t help but mumble as she watched her offspring devouring the barbecue.

In her memory, Chubby was always a big eater when she was little, but compared to Gabby, she was nothing.

She didn’t consider herself a big foodie, and Seafarion was even less so, yet they ended up with such a gluttonous cub, “Just like Grandpa, Seafarion murmured softly. Nyx paused slightly.

“Grandpa loved to eat when he was young.” Seafarion’s light–colored eyes revealed a gentle fondness. “At that time, there wasn’t much good food in the Empire, so he made it his goal to travel across all the seas of Sea Race Stars and try all the food in the ocean.

“He worked on it for decades, leaving behind a thick food diary. I only found these when I was sorting Grandpa’s belongings.

Seafarion gave a helpless smile. “He was afraid I would laugh at him, so after I was born, he hid the diary.”

Even though it was once hidden, the traces of the past never disappeared.

Nyx fell into thought. She opened her Intelligent Brain, snapped a few photos of the young cub who was eating with fervor, and recorded a short video. During the family gathering, she wanted to leave more records behind.

As they traveled, Nyx took photos along the way. Occasionally, she would pick her favorite pictures and post them on StarNet.

She used to rarely share her life so frequently, but this trip seemed to have brought out a new side of her, as she occasionally posted photos and videos to share her happiness with the Empire.

Her fans were ecstatic.

Nyx was the undisputed top celebrity of the Empire, so every post by Nyx had over 100 billion views.

Every day, countless people waited on her personal homepage, eager to be the first to like or comment.

Nyx’s StarNet update featured a family photo taken atop a misty mountain, resembling a scene from a fairyland. She stood. at the center, surrounded by her mates and cubs. The males stood with their children–holding the younger ones in their arms while the older ones stood beside them.

The comment section immediately filled with thousands of compliments.

2/4 05:48 Tue, 4 Mar Chapter 269 [So good a family they are [This shot is perfect!]

The view is amazing. I want to go check it out too)

(The whole family is here, they look so happy Amid the praise, some different comments stood out, especially jarring. It suddenly noticed that Lord Kai still doesn’t have any cubs, any particular reason“]

ost people didn’t like this comment and quickly responded with criticism.

Most el y are you discussing someone else’s decision to have childre [So bored? Go cook a couple of dishes.]

Some were intrigued by the comment and shared the same curiosity.

[Don’t rush: it’s just a casual discussion. It’s not something you can’t talk about.]

[Lord Nyx’s other eight mates have cubs, but Lord Kai doesn’t. There must be something wrong [What’s wrong with that? Maybe they just don’t want children for now?]

[That could be the case, but there are other possibilities...]

[Just a bold guess, could it be that Lord Kai isn’t as favored?]

[After all, he only rose to his position by risking his life to save someone. Maybe Lord Nyx doesn’t actually like him.]

[Now that you mention it, that makes some sense.]

[Pah!]

[That makes no sense at all.]

[Lord Nyx is fair to everyone. She and Lord Kai are so close. Can’t you see?]

[LOL. Maybe Lord Kai’s fertility is an issue, caused by that serious injury.]

[8]

[Spreading rumors can get you in legal trouble.]

[That’s slander. I’m reporting you!]

The comment section became more and more heated, pushing this comment to the top.

The cub playing with the Intelligent Brain opened Nyx’s profile, looked at the photos, and glanced at the comment section with a suspicious expression.

In the evening, Nyx cuddled little Merfolk and kissed his chubby cheeks for a moment, preparing to carry him to bed when, unexpectedly, the cub asked, “Mom, do you like Daddy Kai?”
