"You know?" Si Lu asked.
"Of course, this has been passed down in our deer tribe. I've heard...
A long time ago, our deer tribe had a very powerful leader, a Seven-Colored Deer. Later, that deer cultivated to the highest level, invincible and unmatched, becoming a true king. It even attained a divine status, becoming a mythical beast. Our deer tribe refers to it as the Seven-Colored Divine Deer!
Of course, this happened so long ago that no one knows if it's true. However, Seven-Colored Deer are indeed an atavistic species, and their bloodline is incredibly strong. But whether or not they can awaken their bloodline power determines if they can inherit the Seven-Colored Divine Deer's legacy!"
Cheng Mo looked at the little cub sleeping soundly in the distance, its tiny nose bubbling slightly with each breath. He found it hard to believe—this was a Seven-Colored Deer!
But in the end, it didn't matter.
No matter what, he loved their cub.
"So that's how it is. A mythical beast… By the way, what about our current mythical beast lord? You said the Seven-Colored Divine Deer was also a mythical beast, so how many mythical beasts are there?" Si Lu was a little confused.
"Lu Lu, I understand what you mean. Actually, a long time ago, each race had its own divine beast lord. But after a great war, all the divine beast lords disappeared… Only one remains, protecting all the races. Of course, this is a distant matter, and it's best if you don't concern yourself with it now," Cheng Mo said.
This story had been passed down throughout the Beastman Continent.
But Si Lu didn't seem to know.
Cheng Mo wasn't too surprised. Perhaps Si Lu had been protected too well, which was why she hadn't heard about it.
Si Lu listened carefully and understood a little.
So that's how it is.
There were still some mysteries, but for now, they were too far removed from her reality.
Knowing too much might not be beneficial.
"Mm-hmm, I got it," Si Lu nodded.
No matter what, the fact that her cub was an atavistic return to the Seven-Colored Deer lineage was a great thing.
At that moment, the cub seemed to sense something and opened its bright black eyes. It turned its head and locked onto Si Lu, eyes filled with longing.
It immediately stood up in the bamboo basket, wobbling unsteadily as it tried to walk toward her.
It seemed to recognize its mother instinctively and wanted to be close to her.
"Cheng Yu, Xiao Yu, come here, come to Mommy, let Mommy hug you." Si Lu stretched out her hands, smiling warmly at her cub.
Cheng Mo and Bai Di were both stunned.
Just yesterday, the little cub couldn't even walk.
But now, it was standing up for the first time, even if it was a bit unsteady, and trying its best to walk toward Si Lu.
This was…
Indeed, newborn cubs were closest to their mothers.
"Ying~ Ying~ Ying~" The little cub made soft, babbling sounds.
Si Lu couldn't understand a word.
"What is my cub saying?" Si Lu looked at Cheng Mo and asked.
Cheng Mo and Bai Di froze.
They hadn't expected that Si Lu couldn't understand her own cub's words.
This was…
Shocking (ΩДΩ)!
Cheng Mo and Bai Di exchanged glances, seeing the same astonishment in each other's eyes.
Si Lu, noticing their reactions, realized something immediately.
"So I'm the only one who doesn't understand my cub? Can other females understand their cubs"? Si Lu was dumbfounded.
Judging by their expressions, this had to be the case. If other females couldn't understand their cubs either, Cheng Mo and Bai Di wouldn't look so shocked.
So… she really was an exception.
"I've been around plenty of females who've given birth, and yes, I've never seen one who couldn't understand their own cub," Bai Di said with a complicated expression.
Seriously.
He had never heard of a female being unable to understand her cub before.
Even though newborns only babble, mothers usually understand.
But Si Lu… couldn't?
This was… unbelievable.
"Alright, I never expected to be this useless. Not only can I not see at night, but my hearing isn't great, my sense of smell isn't good, and now I can't even understand my own cub," Si Lu slumped in defeat.
She had no choice but to accept it.
But deep down, she figured it was probably because she was a transmigrator.
She wasn't truly a beastman, which made her different—hence the oddity.
"Lu Lu, don't worry, it's okay. When the cub grows up and starts speaking our language, you'll be able to understand," Cheng Mo said, his heart aching for her.
This was indeed a strange phenomenon, but he didn't want Si Lu to be upset over it.
"Mm, I know. It's fine; it's fine. I've long accepted that I'm a bit useless, so it doesn't bother me," Si Lu sighed.
She had already come to terms with it.
"Ying~ Ying~" The little cub circled around Si Lu anxiously, its black, gemstone-like eyes filled with concern and worry.
"What are you saying? Mommy can't understand you," Si Lu reached out, picked up the little cub, and gently stroked its head.
Though she felt a little down, she still adored her cub.
Even if she was useless, at least her cub wasn't!
"He's saying, 'Don't be sad, Mommy. It's okay. When I grow up and can talk, you'll understand me,." Cheng Mo translated with a soft smile.
The little cub was truly smart.
No doubt, their child was exceptional!
Back in the tribe, he had seen other newborn cubs—most were clumsy and slow, nothing like their own.
His cub was the smartest!
Si Lu's heart warmed instantly.
"Ying~ Ying~ Ying~" The little cub blinked its big eyes and then grinned widely.
"He says, 'This is the most beautiful, Mommy. If you can't understand, we'll translate for you, so don't worry,'" Cheng Mo chuckled.
This cub was really something.
Indeed, no one could compare to their child!
