Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off Chapter 878: The Escape Plan of a Three-Year-Old

Meanwhile, in the gloomy depths of the Deep Abyss, Yuze was still floating near the misty edge of the cold water, his little blue fish tail splashing softly against the stone shore.

After watching Cang Ling and Liang Rou storm off in opposite directions, the tiny three-year-old mermaid cub paddled backward into the deeper water, far away from the sight of any passing adults.

He rested his small, chubby chin on a smooth, icy rock and let out a dramatic, long sigh that sent tiny bubbles floating to the surface.

"Adults are so scary," Yuze muttered under his breath, pouting his plump lips. "Always yelling, always crying, and always making terrifying faces. When I grow up, I am definitely never becoming an adult!"

He wiggled his translucent, shimmering blue tail, sending sparkles through the dark water. But his cute little face quickly fell into a frown as his thoughts drifted right back to little Yue Yue.

The last time he had risked getting caught trying to sneak out to the God estate, he had searched every single bush, rock, and stream, but there wasn’t a single trace of that silly little white snake!

"Where could she have gone?" Yuze puffed out his chubby cheeks in annoyance. "She is so small and silly! What if she got lost? What if she forgot how to catch fish? What if... what if she forgot about me completely?!"

The mere thought of Yue Yue forgetting his handsome face made Yuze’s big, round eyes fill with tears. He quickly rubbed his eyes with his tiny fist, shaking his head furiously.

"No! She couldn’t have forgotten me! I am the most handsome mermaid in the whole wide world!" Yuze declared in his sweet, babyish voice, trying to boost his own confidence.

He knew he couldn’t just sit here in the Deep Abyss waiting for permission to leave. Brother Ling was nice, but the rest of the adults here were strictly guarding every exit.

If he wanted to find Yue Yue and her family, he had to take matters into his own hands!

Yuze puffed out his little chest, determination shining bright in his big, starry eyes.

"I need a plan!" Yuze whispered to himself excitedly.

Step one: eat lots of delicious water fruits and fish so his tail would grow super fast and strong.

Step two: find the secret underwater tunnel behind the palace that leads straight out of the Deep Abyss! He had heard some guards talking about it last week.

Step three: swim all the way to the Upper Realm, find that silly snake Yue Yue, and demand that she not abandon him again.

Having established his grand master plan, the three-year-old mermaid cub flipped his blue tail in the air, creating a happy splash before diving deep into the cool, dark water.

No matter how far she had moved, Yuze was determined that as soon as he snuck out, he would search every realm until he found that little white snake!

Su Qinglan hurried into Lan Yue’s room, her eyes wide with excitement. The little cubs were right behind her, their tiny feet pattering fast on the floor as they tumbled over one another in a frantic race to see the new baby.

"Lan Yue! Is it true?" Su Qinglan asked, stepping up to the large, soft bed with a bright smile.

Lan Yue was sitting on the edge of the bed, her face filled with pride and gentle warmth. Resting safely in her arms was a remarkably large, chubby human baby with smooth white skin, dark sparkling eyes, and a tuft of fine blue hair on his head.

Even as a human baby, Fry was unmistakably an orca cub! While normal human babies were small and delicate, Fry looked like a heavy, plump little dumpling who was twice the size of a regular one-year-old!

"Sister, look," Lan Yue said softly, showing off her son with a beaming smile. "Our little Fry finally took human form!"

"Oh my goodness!" Su Qinglan gasped, her heart melting in an instant. She carefully leaned down to take the hefty baby into her arms. "Look at those chubby cheeks! He is so big and healthy!"

The moment Fry felt his aunts’ warm embrace, his big, dark eyes blinked curiously. He let out a soft, milky coo and immediately nuzzled his chubby face right into Su Qinglan’s shoulder, waving his round, plump baby fists in the air.

Outside the bed, the small crowd of cubs went completely wild!

Xiao Yi stretched his front paws onto the edge of the bed, bouncing up and down frantically. "Mother! Mother! Let me see Brother Fry! Is he really that big?!"

"Me too! Me too!" Maomao chimed in, craning his neck while the fluffy nine-tailed fox cub wiggled his nine tiny tails in sheer curiosity.

Even little Yue Yue, the tiny white snake cub, slithered up Su Qinglan’s sleeve until her tiny head popped out right beside Fry’s soft cheek. She tilted her small head and flicked her tongue, curiously poking her brother’s chubby arm.

"He’s huge!" Xiao San shouted in pure wonder, his big eyes glittering as he stared at the baby. "Mother, when I was transformed, was I this big too?!"

Lan Yue let out a low chuckle, gently patting Xiao San’s head. "No, little one. Your brother Fry is an aquatic beast, so even his human form is naturally bigger and stronger than most cubs!"

Fry seemed to understand that everyone was admiring him. He puffed out his little baby chest proudly and let out a loud, healthy baby giggle that made all the cubs cheer in excitement.

Right at that moment, the bedroom door opened quietly, and Teng Yunxiao walked inside, followed by his towering, silent son, Xuan Long.

The moment Teng Yunxiao’s eyes landed on the healthy baby and realized it was his daughter-in-law’s sister’s cub, then his gaze swept over the bustling crowd of cheerful cubs surrounding them, his jaw almost dropped to the floor once again.

What a vibrant, powerful family line!

Teng Yunxiao looked at his daughter-in-law Su Qinglan, then turned his gaze back to Xuan Long standing stoically beside him. He shook his head in absolute disbelief, letting out a soft sigh filled with deep admiration.

"Truly..." Teng Yunxiao muttered under his breath, "Your household is blessed beyond measure."

Xuan Long stood tall beside his father, his dark eyes softening as he looked at Su Qinglan smiling brightly alongside her sister Lan Yue and all their cheerful cubs. A rare, gentle smile touched his stoic lips.
