236: Chapter 236 Why does this kid call Heng Zhou "Dad" and A Wu "Mom"?

"Fen Tian!

Fen Tian!"

Hu Che shouted while swimming rapidly toward the person who had surfaced.

But even though he exerted all his strength, he still felt he was swimming too slowly.

He was terrified that she would disappear from before his eyes.

"Fen Tian!

Fen Tian!"

Hu Che's voice was full of fury.

In the end, he was the first to reach her side.

Guo Guo dragged her beautiful fish tail, supporting Tang Ruan from beneath.

Hu Che hurriedly used both hands to scoop her completely out of the water.

He pressed his head close to her chest, and only after hearing her heartbeat did he feel slightly relieved.

But why wasn't she breathing?

"Tang Ruan... Tang Ruan!

Mistress!"

Guo Guo swam back and forth around them anxiously.

She seemed to want to tell him something, but she couldn't say a word.

Suddenly, Hu Che had a thought.

Perhaps she had run out of Energy.

Years ago, her sudden coma was precisely because her Energy had been depleted.

How long would she have to swim from the ocean floor to the surface?

Although her Beast Form was a Kun, she likely had never swum such a great distance before.

Hu Che injected his own Energy into her body.

Suddenly, he felt a massive surge of Energy collide with his own.

Hu Che was nearly sent flying backward.

But he still held Tang Ruan tightly.

He was afraid she would sink.

Hu Che clenched his teeth, the faint taste of blood rising in his throat.

The surface of the sea was unsafe; it was better to get to shore first.

Hu Che hoisted Tang Ruan up, while Guo Guo supported her from below.

After swimming only a few meters, the sound of someone breaking the surface suddenly came from ahead.

"A-Wu!"

Fen Tian appeared before them like a flash of lightning.

He immediately took Tang Ruan from Hu Che's arms and returned to land.

Tang Ruan was jolted awake by the movement.

She abruptly spat out a large mouthful of water.

As expected, her ability to breathe underwater only activated after she had held her breath until she fainted.

But having it happen like this every time was truly miserable.

She gasped for air twice in a hurry.

Suddenly, she grabbed Fen Tian's hand. "Fen Tian, go save Heng Zhou!

Heng Zhou has been imprisoned by Jiao Luo!"

At the mention of Heng Zhou's name, Fen Tian's eyes snapped wide. "Where is he?"

Tang Ruan hurriedly sat up. "I'll take you there!"

Fen Tian reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder. "You can't go right now!"

Hu Che also said, "You'll faint underwater. How can you lead the way?"

Suddenly, he thought of Guo Guo.

Guo Guo was of the Jiao Clan... but...

No! She was too small!

"I—lead way..."

Suddenly, Guo Guo struggled to force out three words.

She looked at Fen Tian with tearful eyes.

"Save—Daddy—"

Fen Tian looked at her, thinking he had misheard.

"Guo Guo is Heng Zhou's Cub," Tang Ruan explained briefly.

Fen Tian's eyes widened even further.

That expression was even more shocked than when he learned Heng Zhou had been imprisoned.

Because in Fen Tian's memory, Heng Zhou was devoid of emotions.

Never mind having a Cub with someone.

He didn't even have a single beastman he liked—neither Male Beastman nor Female Beastman.

For a moment, all Fen Tian could think of was that his Energy must have been Sealed by the Jiao Clan, just like A-Wu's.

They must have forced him to mate with a Female Beastman of the Jiao Clan to produce this Cub.

Heng Zhou was someone who felt so disgusted even being touched by an ordinary beastman that he would have Fen Tian burn them until not even ashes remained just to feel comfortable.

Such a person had actually been made to have a Cub with an ordinary beastman!

In his view, that process must have been incredibly disgusting and painful.

Suddenly, Fen Tian felt immense pity for Heng Zhou.

The look he cast at Guo Guo couldn't help but turn a bit fierce.

Suddenly, he realized something seemed wrong.

Why did this Cub's appearance look so much like A-Wu?

Guo Guo was frightened by Fen Tian's gaze and hurriedly hid behind Tang Ruan. "Mama!"

Fen Tian: !!!

Why does this Cub call Heng Zhou Father and A-Wu Mother!

Why does this Cub look so much like A-Wu?

Fen Tian's brain couldn't process it all; he wanted to pull Guo Guo over and demand an explanation.

He reached out toward her, but Tang Ruan caught his hand.

"Guo Guo is my adopted goddaughter!

Because Heng Zhou missed us, he used some methods to make his Cub look very much like I did when I was little," Tang Ruan explained anxiously.

She was terrified that Fen Tian would get angry and refuse to save Heng Zhou.

Fen Tian blinked, barely believing her.

But then, he had never heard of a Cub's appearance being something one could choose at will.

However, he was also a first-time father, and his egg hadn't even hatched yet.

Maybe Heng Zhou really did have a way.

He had always been very resourceful.

If she looked like A-Wu, at least he wouldn't feel too much disgust looking at her every day.

Guo Guo's eyes darted around.

Without waiting for Fen Tian to ask anything else, she nodded frantically.

Even though she knew she looked like Mama because she was Mama's biological child.

Time was of the essence, and Fen Tian didn't dwell on it further.

He left Tang Ruan and Hu Che in Yan Qing's hands.

Then he took Guo Guo and dove deep into the ocean without a moment's delay.

Though the little one was young, she swam ahead of him without the slightest hesitation or fear.

The more Fen Tian looked at her, the more he liked her.

Perhaps it was because she was his good brother's Cub.

And also because she looked like A-Wu.

He picked her up and increased his speed.

Fen Tian soon entered the Merfolk Palace.

He entered as if it were uninhabited.

He boiled and deboned every member of the Jiao Clan who came forward to stop him, one by one.

Meanwhile, Guo Guo was held in one of his arms; both were within the Barrier he had raised, so she wouldn't be harmed.

The little one's face was pale with fright.

Halfway through the slaughter, Fen Tian remembered that although she was Heng Zhou's Cub,

she hadn't experienced the same things they had and might be terrified.

Thus, he expressed concern for a Cub for the first time. "Are you afraid?"

Guo Guo nodded like a pecking chicken, then shook her head like a rattle.

Was it too late to say she was scared?

Besides, those he killed were all bad people.

If he didn't kill them, how could he save Daddy?

Moreover, Guo Guo was scared at first, but later, for some reason, she actually felt this uncle looked very cool while killing people.

Sitting in his arms and feeling his power, she also felt like she was very cool!

Then, it didn't seem so terrifying anymore.

This was the only comforting sentence Fen Tian could think of.

Seeing that she hadn't fainted from fright, he assumed she was fine.

Although Fen Tian was only an average swimmer, with the boost from his Energy, he quickly found Heng Zhou.

The moment he pushed open the large doors,

Jiao Luo was pointing at Heng Zhou's nose, roaring: "I'm telling you!

Don't think that just because they're gone, I won't be able to get your blood, I—"

Fen Tian grabbed her by the throat.

He lifted her off the ground.

Jiao Luo kicked and thrashed in pain, her hands clawing desperately at his hand, trying to break free from his grip.

But Fen Tian didn't even spare her a glance.

He slowly walked toward Heng Zhou.

He looked at the scar-covered Heng Zhou with some disbelief.

Even though he now had a fish tail, and even though his eyes were blindfolded,

Fen Tian still recognized him at a glance.

"Big Brother!"

Heng Zhou curled his lips into a smile.

"You've come."

Fen Tian rarely called him Big Brother; he usually addressed him directly by name.

Heng Zhou had also thought that he was indeed an incompetent big brother.

With his unrestrained personality, sometimes he really didn't want to be responsible for the few of them.

The Beast God had told him to manage them well.

He hadn't managed them well.

He had even led them to rebel against the Beast God together.

He truly was a very 'incompetent' brother.

"She did this!"

Fen Tian suddenly looked at Jiao Luo, whom he was dangling in his hand, with fury.

Jiao Luo's face had already turned a deep purple.

Countless spiderweb-like jets of water slammed against the Barrier Fen Tian had raised.

But not a single drop fell on him or Heng Zhou.

Jiao Luo knew she was finished.

But even if she died, she didn't want them to have it easy.

She knew this beastman's Mistress was Tang Ruan.

However, he didn't seem to know that the Cub he was holding was born of Tang Ruan and his useless younger brother.

Even if the souls were different, they were both born from the same body!

If he found out, would he feel uneasy?

"This Cub—"

Jiao Luo looked at Guo Guo with difficulty, "is—"

"Jiao Luo, bite off your own tongue," Heng Zhou suddenly spoke indifferently.
