Chapter 38: Puslin Is My Beast Husband

"Ding-dong——"The doorbell rang.

Song Chen glanced sharply at Lai, still holding a grudge from last night, "You go open the door!"

Lai sneered, "Childish."

He got up and headed towards the entrance.

"Coming!"

Lai opened the door and looked at the unfamiliar female in front of him, asking puzzledly, "Who are you looking for?"

"I... may I ask... does Mr. Puslin live here?"

Lai looked her up and down, his gaze landing on her slightly bulging belly, "Who are you?"

If Puslin were to have an affair, that’s impossible.

"Uncle..." A head peeked out from behind the female, "Do you remember me?"

Looking at him, Lai suddenly remembered, "I think I have a bit of an impression."

"Uncle, I’m Arthur! That day on the island, Uncle Puslin helped bring me back to the Undersea City, do you remember?"


Arthur looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Uncle, we’ve moved to the Sky City!"

"Mom said..."

"Mr. Puslin saved our family, otherwise, how could we have left the Undersea City." Arthur’s mother, Zor, had tears in her eyes, full of gratitude.

"As soon as we got here, we inquired about where Mr. Puslin lived and came up to pay a visit."

"I see." Lai nodded, "Come in first."

"Where is Mr. Puslin..." Zor asked plaintively.

"He’s not home right now." Lai replied.

Zor lowered her eyes, "Not home? I thought I could thank him in person..."

"It’s fine, my wife is at home."

Zor nodded, "Yes, it is indeed proper to visit."

She sighed, "As a female, having just moved here, I have no friends at all. If only we could become good friends."

"Uncle, is Manman sister home?" Arthur looked at Lai expectantly.

"Home, Manman is playing at home."

Lai invited them inside, glanced at Song Chen, "Go call my wife out."

"Alright." Song Chen pouted, getting up slowly.

Zor glanced at Song Chen, then lowered her head, sitting in silence.

Lai looked at Zor curiously, guessing that she seemed to have a timid disposition from living hard days in the Undersea City for too long.

Zor kept her head down, and Lai couldn’t discern much.

"Have some water." Lai handed her a glass of warm water.

Zor nodded, "Thank you..."

"How many months along is your cub?" Lai asked casually.

"Already over three months." Zor touched her pregnant belly, her eyes filled with joy and pride, "The examiners said it’s a little female!"

Lai made a sound of acknowledgment.

He still wasn’t sure about Zor’s psychological state.

But from her frail appearance, he could guess she really needed to replenish her nutrition now; if the child in her belly doesn’t get nutrients for long, it might be weak and sickly when born.

However, Lai didn’t mention any of this.

Since Zor managed to leave the Undersea City and is pregnant with a female, surely the doctors would have told her these things.

"Who’s here?" Yu Man came out of the room.

Her slightly curled black hair was shiny and her steps exuded confidence.

Zor looked at Yu Man, momentarily lost in thought.

"Aunt Yu Man! It’s me!" Arthur’s eyes sparkled, "Aunt, do you remember me?"

"I remember you, you’re Arthur, right?" The little clownfish beastman who was caught that day.

This she remembered very well!

"Yes! That’s me!" Arthur was extremely happy Yu Man and Lai still remembered him.

"My Manman is in that room playing; you can go over and play too."

Arthur grinned wide, "Aunt, can I go?"

"Of course!" Yu Man nodded, "If you want to, go and play."

Arthur didn’t nod immediately, but looked to his mother, Zor, "Mom?"

"Go ahead." Zor nodded, "I’d like to chat with Aunt Yu Man."

"Okay!" Arthur scampered over happily.

Song Chen immediately said, "Wife, I’ll go watch them."

Yu Man also didn’t feel easy with leaving them unwatched, "Go quickly."

The beastmen with Fish Clan genes are naturally fond of water, so a special pool was constructed in their house.

In Yu Manman’s eyes, this was equivalent to a swimming pool.

Yu Manman, wearing a pink dress, her lower body transformed into a blue fishtail, was happily playing in the pool.

She dove underwater, gills immediately appearing behind her ears, and a few ice-blue scales resembling ornaments emerged at the corners of her eyes.

"Sister Manman!" Arthur grinned, splashing water to get Yu Manman’s attention.

"Brother Arthur?" Yu Manman surfaced from the water, her warm little hands slapping the water, she picked up a small yellow duck floating on the surface and waved it at Arthur.

"Brother Arthur, come play with us!"

Arthur giggled, "Sure!"

He jumped into the water, transforming into a vibrantly colored clownfish.

He swiped his tail, skillfully sending a blue ball bouncing on the water’s surface.

[Ding! Your beast husband Arthur has started to see you in a new light, but some prejudices aren’t easily dispelled! Win against Arthur once so your beast husband is impressed, sees your bright side, and further changes his perceptions of you!]

[Task difficulty: Five stars!]

[Task reward: Luck Value +5!]

Yu Manman’s eyes lit up! Luck Value, wow!

She was determined to get it!

Yu Manman looked at the clownfish playing merrily in the water, pondering how to win against Arthur.

"Brother Arthur! Let’s play a game?"

Arthur emerged from the water, blowing a bubble.

"Play how?" Arthur asked curiously.

He didn’t have many friends, usually amusing himself alone. Finally having a friend to play with, Arthur was super excited!

"Let’s play with the ball!" Yu Manman took a blue floating ball with both hands.

"Let’s have a match! You hit the ball over, and I’ll hit it back!"

"Alright!" Arthur hadn’t played games with others before; whatever Yu Manman suggested sounded exceptionally fun to him!

Song Chen found a chair to sit on, leisurely watching them play.

Yu Manman seemed to have overestimated her abilities; after a few rounds, she always ended up missing the last shot.

"Brother Arthur, you’re really good."

Yu Manman pouted.

Winning or losing wasn’t important, but it was so embarrassing...

Okay, winning was also very important!

She wanted the Luck Value, sigh...

Arthur scratched his head, "When I was in the Undersea, there wasn’t much to do, so I often picked up a little sea turtle and patted it to the surface..."

Sea Turtle: You think you’re sophisticated? Using me as a toy?

Song Chen couldn’t help but shake his head, were his little ones this competent? He feared his little ones might end up crying.

Suddenly, Song Chen heard crying coming from outside.

It was the voice of the female guest.

He glanced once at the door and suddenly heard his wife’s scolding.

"Puslin is my beast husband!"

Song Chen felt something wasn’t right, he glanced at the two little ones still playing, and stepped outside.

"Yu Man, Puslin is my lifesaver, I’m really grateful to him..."

"Grateful to him?" Yu Man’s face was icy cold, "If you’re grateful, do you have to offer yourself?"

"Am I, the rightful wife, interfering in your offering yourself, making you want me to divorce him?"

"Are you crazy, or do you think I’m a fool?"

Zor’s eyes were red and swollen, "I just thought, you’re a very kind female, you already have so many excellent beast husbands, what’s one less Puslin?"
