Chapter 177: Chapter 177: That Kid Ao Wu Was Smart From a Young Age

When they returned to the small courtyard, Yu An brought Ao Wu into the space with her.

Feng Xuan was so thin that Da Hu and Xiao Hu almost didn’t recognize him. Once they did, the two little ones were heartbroken.

"Beast Father, Beast Father, eat this."

"Beast Father, have a steamed bun, and some meat."

The other Zaizai weren’t idle either. Xiao Yu and Little Serpent took out their hidden snacks to feed Feng Xuan. Little Wolf and Fuzai didn’t know Feng Xuan, but after Han Li introduced them, they also joined their older brothers in the excitement.

The Zaizai were so enthusiastic that Feng Xuan was a little overwhelmed, momentarily feeling the weight of this sweet burden.

Ao Er was envious for a moment, but then he remembered he was the Zaizai’s uncle and instantly puffed out his chest.

’Once Little Sis introduces me to the Zaizai, that sweet burden will be mine!’

The moment Yu An entered the space, the Zaizai instantly abandoned Feng Xuan and swarmed around her.

"Female Mother, Feng Xuan Beast Father is back. When will my Beast Father come back?"

This was Xiao Yu.

"Female Mother, where has Beast Father been all this time? Why is he so thin and dark? He’s gotten ugly."

This question came from Da Hu, and Xiao Hu nodded and nodded.

Little Serpent didn’t have any questions and was just joining in on the fun, while Little Wolf and Fuzai asked about Ao Er.

"Female Mother, who is this uncle?"

Ao Er’s eyes welled with tears. ’Finally, one of the Zaizai is asking about me!’

Yu An answered them one by one. "Be good, Xiao Yu. We’ll go find your Beast Father in a few days. You’ll be reunited soon."

"Da Hu, Xiao Hu, your Beast Father was taken by bad guys to work in a mine. But he hasn’t gotten ugly, don’t worry. He’ll be back to normal after a while."

"Come, Zaizai, Female Mother will introduce you to someone."

Yu An’s lips curved into a smile. "This is Female Mother’s second older brother, your second uncle."

The Zaizai all looked at Ao Er at the same time and called out in unison, "Second Uncle."

Ao Er was deeply moved. He patted one cub’s head and ruffled another’s fur. "Good Zaizai. Uncle doesn’t have anything on him right now, but once I get back to the Dragon Clan, I’ll definitely send you all a huge welcome gift!"

Xiao Hu looked up at him. "Second Uncle, can Xiao Hu have a really, really big pillow then?"

"Of course you can," Ao Er agreed in a heartbeat. "Uncle will have someone make it for you as soon as I get back."

The other Zaizai chattered away, listing what they wanted. Ao Er listened to one, then the next, promising this and agreeing to that, happily busy in the midst of it all.

Chun Nuan was also very happy watching this scene. Ao Yi and Ao Er were children recognized by Yu Huang, which made them her young masters. She was naturally overjoyed that her young master had been rescued.

"An’an, are you still going to sell shaved ice today?"

Chun Nuan pointed into the distance. "Xiao Quan and the others have everything ready. If you’re going, you can just take it all out with you."

"Thank you, Aunt Chun," Yu An said with a grin. "I am going to sell today."

"Oh, right, Aunt Chun, could you help me draw up a menu? I’m going to cook dinner tonight to celebrate."

"Little Sis, there’s no need."

Pulling himself out of the pile of Zaizai, Ao Er said hurriedly, "I need to make a trip back to the clan. Someone is impersonating me, Eldest Brother, and Third Brother. I have to hurry back and tell our Beast Father."

"Second Brother, don’t worry. Eldest Brother has already gone back."

"You found Eldest Brother?"

Yu An nodded. "I found Eldest Brother at the Death Abyss, along with my Beast Husband, Mo Yan. Eldest Brother has already rushed back to the clan."

"He should have arrived by now. Second Brother, you can go back in a few days..."

"Then I’m not going back," Ao Er said immediately. "I’ll stay. Elder Ying... AHEM, Ao Yin will definitely send people to look for us. I’ll stay and protect you."

"Second Brother, Second Brother, I’m here. You should hurry back to the clan."

Ao Wu said gloomily from the side, "I’ll protect my own Female Master. You should hurry back."

Ao Er waved his hand dismissively. "Rely on you for what? It’ll be a good day if you don’t bully Little Sis... Wait!"

His eyes suddenly widened. "You, you, you... what did you call Little Sis?!"

"Female Master," Ao Wu said, casually grabbing Fuzai. "Here, this is my and An’an’s Zaizai."

Ao Er fell silent. He took Fuzai from Ao Wu’s arms and forced a smile. "Good little Zaizai, go play with your brothers. Second Uncle needs to talk to your Beast Father about something."

Ao Wu’s expression changed. Just as he was about to grab Fuzai back to use as an Amulet, Da Hu had already led his little sister away.

"An’an, save me!"

Ao Wu made a split-second decision and ran toward Yu An. But Ao Er, who had been beating up his little brother since they were kids, was fast. Before Ao Wu could get away, he grabbed Ao Wu’s ear and stuffed the piece of dry, choking yogurt that Xiao Hu had given him earlier into Ao Wu’s mouth, gagging him.

"Little Sis, I’m taking Xiao Wu over there to have a few words."

Yu An ignored Ao Wu’s pleas for help and waved at Ao Er. "Go ahead, Second Brother. I happen to be heading out anyway."

Ao Wu finally finished the dry yogurt. CHEW CHEW CHEW. "An’an, you can’t just watch me die and do nothing—"

"What did you say? The wind’s too loud, I can’t hear you! I’m heading out now~"

After saying that, Yu An immediately left the space with Mo Yan and Han Li, taking the shaved ice ingredients with her.

When she returned after selling the shaved ice, Ao Wu had two black eyes. Yu An couldn’t stop laughing at the sight of him.

"Still laughing?! Just you watch how I get my revenge next time!"

Ao Wu was furious, secretly deciding that next time, no matter what Yu An shouted, he wouldn’t stop!

Yu An put on an innocent face. "I wasn’t the one who hit you. Why take revenge on me?"

"I just will," Ao Wu huffed. "And it’ll be harsh revenge!"

"Second Brother! Ao Wu says he’s going to bully me!"

Ao Er, who was watching the children, immediately stormed over menacingly. "Xiao Wu, are you looking for another beating?"

Ao Wu: "..."

Ao Er also wanted to spend more time with his little sister. Even though Yu An had disappeared shortly after hatching, back when she was still an egg, he and his brothers had wanted to be with her day and night.

Of course, the four brothers only felt sibling affection for Yu An. Ao Wu, however, had other intentions.

He was young back then, but that kid Ao Wu was sharp. He had picked out his Female Master from a very early age.

"Little Sis, let me tell you, before you were born, Xiao Wu couldn’t speak at all. His first word was ’sister.’ Later, he even started calling our Female Mother and Beast Father ’Adoptive Mother’ and ’Adoptive Father’."

Ao Er clicked his tongue in amazement. "At the time, we thought the kid had memories of his birth parents, and that’s why he was unwilling to use the more intimate titles of Female Mother and Beast Father."

"He just confessed a moment ago that he did it because he heard from others in the clan that children of the same Female Mother and Beast Father are full-blooded siblings, and full-blooded siblings can’t be together."

Ao Wu was a little embarrassed. "Second Brother!"

Yu An, however, let out a "wow." "Ao Wu, I had no idea you were so clever as a child. I wonder if our Fuzai inherited your intelligence."

"Of course she did," Ao Wu said, lifting his chin proudly. "She is my biological cub, after all!"

Ao Er mercilessly exposed him. "Little Sis, if Fuzai takes after him, you’re going to have your hands full in the future. This kid got into no small amount of trouble when he was young."

Her gaze shifted to Fuzai in the courtyard, and Yu An suddenly felt that this was a strong possibility.

Other than her appearance, Little Fu’s temperament and personality were practically carved from the same mold as Ao Wu’s!

Just as the food was being served, there was a loud banging on the courtyard gate. "Open up, open up! We’re searching for fugitives!"
