Chapter 61: Chapter 61

Aqualino opened his eyes and saw that he was in an extra large luxurious room. Everything glittered gold! He rubbed his temples and tried to recall what happened and then gasped.

Yeah! He had unexpectedly found his mate that he'd been looking for at Aquainia, his kingdom.

To think that his beloved mate was such a feeble human... ahem... she isn't exactly weak as she had rendered him weak in minutes but it was mostly due to their mate bond.

How he wished he could turn back time and never came to Earth in the first place. Sigh, there's no medicine for regret. He can only chew on this bitter meal he had been offered by life as it was better than the cakes offered by death.

He removed the blanket covering him and saw that he was naked. Yeah, he'd forgotten that when he transforms, he'd be naked. He must have transformed again last night.

He looked at his little proud brother and patted it with a sigh. Just thinking of facing his new mate... he felt goosebumps.

Before now, he'd imagined his mate to be tall, sexy, extremely pretty and gentle. But that Meera, what part of her fits into these descriptions. Granted she was indeed pretty but can she be shown to his people? How many would laugh at him!

"I'm so unlucky!" he muttered. Suddenly, he felt someone slap his head.

"Who dared to hurt this prince?" he muttered in a foreign language. His legs immediately changed into a tail.

But unexpectedly, there was another slap or maybe it was a hit? Let's say it's hit coz it wasn't done by bare hands but a stick.

That felt familiar! Could it be... Aqualino broke in cold sweat. It was his mate, Meera Sharma dressed in yellow pants, a black crop top and white sneakers.

She held a baton and used it to pat her left palm, a devilish smile on her face.

"You want to beat me? Go ahead! Do it and bite me and swallow me." Meera barked before continuing the hit. She first hit his tail and he quickly transformed back, revealing his majestic glory before her with his legs spread open.

"You... again?" she quickly turned around.

"Hurry up and clothe yourself so I can continue hitting you." she said unhappily, tapping her left foot on the marble floor.

"Am I allowed to faint again, please?" Aqualino asked in frustration.

This is not how a mate should be. She ought to love him and show him deep respect as her future husband that is, if they ever got married. Usually mates fall in love with each other but what kind of situation is this?

Two enemies become mates and their hatred increases upon each meeting. Hah, he just wanna go back to his Momma's womb and end up as a stillborn.

"You can faint if you don't want your skin anymore. Besides, who said you can be fairer than me?" Meera asked impatiently.

"Er... let's say it's natural," he scratched his head.

"Shut up! You think I'm a fool? Look at my feet!" Meera thundered.

Aqualino brought his eyes to her feet and right there on both sides of her feet was a tattoo. A pink and green snake tattoo that looked really nice on her feet.

For a moment, Aqualino wanted to drool but recalling the baton in her hand he dared not.

"What spell did you cast on me? Better take it back or you're dead meat!" Meera was really pissed and Aqualino finally realized why she was pissed and shook his head; not knowing what or how to feel.

Resigned, he closed his legs and transformed to part snake.

"You can look back now but don't hit me. Let's discuss like adults, please." Aqualino felt this was the only way.

Meera dropped the baton and turned around to look at Aqualino. She wasn't shocked to see him in this form anymore. It felt weird though, why wasn't she scared of him killing her?

Usually, when she sees snakes, she'd yell out her lungs say less of a snake man in front of her. But instead, she felt like beating him up when she looked at him. What was going on?

"Lady, what's on your feet isn't a curse but a treasure. Keep it in mind." after saying that, he quickly vanished. Now this stunned Meera to the extent that she fainted.

Outside the room, Aqualino materialized dressed in purple loose t-shirt, black pants, and green sneakers complementing his green hair. He looked extremely hot that those who saw him blushed whether male or female.

Aqualino cared not about them. He had a mission to accomplish now.

He asked where Yuvraj Sharma was and they directed him to the hall where he met him earlier. He saw a pretty but aged lady sitting beside him dressed in black from head to toe.

She had panda eyes from insomnia these days. Make-up couldn''t conceal the fact that she was depressed.

"Hello, old man and lady!" he greeted with a forced smile.

The lady opened her eyes obviously pissed.

"Brat what did you say? I'm old? It's your mama who's obese and ugly and very thin and dry like firewood and..." she was held down by Yuvraj.

"Baby, calm down. He has information on our son-in-law. Let's not piss him off." Yuvraj advised.

"Brat, you're lucky today. Sit there with your hands raised up as punishment." she thundered.

Honestly, Aqualino was surprised by her outburst. Sigh, it's indeed hereditary.

No wonder his mate behaved like that. He nodded and sat on the chair opposite the couple but instead on raising his hands, he crossed his legs and took a small pillow to hug, pissing off Mrs. Sharma even more but Yuvraj pinched her.

He also warned Aqualino with his eyes. In effect he was wordlessly telling him: "Don't piss my wife off. You don't wanna know the aftermath. Idiot!"

But Aqualino pretended not to see.

"Ma'am, I've told your stupid old man that you guys have to start searching from outta space but he won't believe me," Aqualino said with arrogance.

"Wait, what did you say?"Mrs. Sharma asked.

"Didn't you hear? I said..." Aqualino was interrupted by a raging Mrs. Sharma.

"You called my Yuvraj, the love of my life, my one and only master, the one who completes me, the one safeguarding my heart like gold... you call him stupid? Now young man, my patience has run out." she stood up and her aura she exuded felt like a lion that had been famished for 3 days that had suddenly found prey and had gained all the lost vigor.

Yuvraj gulped. This time he couldn't stop his darling. Sigh, let's just take life as it is. Besides that green-haired lad indeed deserves to suffer.

He was disrespectful to elders, arrogant, insulting, disobedient, and had a knack for annoying people to death. If it were him, for the sake of Clark, he could bear but that couldn't be said for his partner.

In seconds, Mrs. Sharma was already in front of Aqualino and then,

PA! PA! PA! PA!

Yuvraj even touched his face though he wasn't the one being hit. He recalled the day they first met. She'd mistaken him for some pervert and beat him up really bad but they eventually fell in love.

But even on their wedding night, he suffered too coz she kept kicking him outta bed and even slapped him. That one slap lasted three weeks. He had to wear make-up all those times when he went out.

And when he penetrated her for the first time, she was a true virgin and she held herself from hitting him but she was screaming: "Yuvraj, just you wait! I'll kill you and you'll have no burial ground. I'm gonna kill you... ahhh... stop... ahh you demon. Yu...Yuvraj you are dead meat. This pain you gave me, you'll feel it by a hundredfold. I'll... tear you to pieces, ow, ouch yeah, Yum, do it, harder, wait stop it hurts, ahh, you devil, I'll kill you... no, don't slow down. Do it harder. Damn it! Yuvraj you bastard, son of a bitch. I'm gonna crush you into meat paste and chew you. Ahhh! Yeah, Yum, so delicious. Slow down a little... no harder. You make me happy... damn it. I wanna kill you so badly. It hurts...Yummy. My lovely Yuvraj. Yum. Ahh, I hate you bastard." after that she'd sent him flying off the bed.

He was then sent to the hospital two days later after faking an accident.

And during the time she was pregnant with Aarti, she often got into fights and ended up winning every time. And while birthing, she ordered him to do all sorts of exercise or else she'd die with the baby. So he had to do push-ups, back flips, new dance styles, sing songs, and then do splits even though he was not too flexible.

Thinking about that time he cringed. She had personally got two contortionists to help him out so he screamed alongside her and only when he felt a muscle tear, did she give birth to Aarti.

But since then, she's been a little more gentle.

Sigh. His niece was also like his wife. Even Aarti, their 'late daughter' beat up Clark several times before they fell in love.

Maybe, if Theresa was still alive, there'd be a chance to see her beating up her future husband. Such a pity. Yuvraj's eyes turned red at the thought.

When he came back to reality, he saw a naked Aqualino. His wife was holding a whip and still hitting him. Maybe her anger was too much, she didn't notice that he was in such a pitiful state. What pissed her, even more, was that there were no injuries in his body. Aqualino hugged his knees, uncertain of what to do. He also hid his face.

Yuvraj quickly rushed towards his wife and took a lash from her. Seeing this, the whip fell from her hand.

"Hus... husband. I'm so sorry!" she pleaded.

"It's alright," he pacified her while shielding Aqualino from her view.

"But why are you blocking my view? I wanna apologize." she said worriedly.

Truly, she didn't know what got into her today. She had hurt a kid.

"Baby, you can't." Yuvraj objected.

"Why?" she asked in puzzlement.

"You stripped him of all he wore, so he's in his birthday suit so don't make..."

"I need to apologize. Get outta my way honey." Priya shoved Yuvraj aside and made for Aqualino.

"No, don't come near. Just stay away from me." Aqualino was actually sobbing, shocking the both of them.

Meanwhile, in the luxurious room given to Aqualino yesterday, Meera woke up and felt weirdly hot.

Was the AC not working? Why did she feel hot and even angry? She rose up from the ground and slowly made for the mirror at the extreme of the room.

Looking at the long mirror, Meera gasped.

Coz right on her forehead and right side of her neck were small tattooes of purple snakes with green fangs. They glistened and even the mirror cracked.

Gosh! What was happening to her? Recalling something, she looked at her feet and yeah, the snake tattooes were still there and also glistened.

What the hell was going on? Why were these things even on her body. Could it be a curse placed on her by that snake guy just because she hit him? Was her body going to have these tattooes all over?

She didn't know what to do at this moment. If she sees him she'll hit him again without listening to his explanation if he had any.

Sigh! This case is so tender.

No one can see these marks on her feet especially her aunt and uncle or her school mates. What should she do now?

She couldn't just wrap herself up looking like a puffy ball when leaving her room right? It'd just make others suspicious. She needed to think of a way to hide these tattooes without being suspected by any one.

"Aha!" she exclaimed in delight. There was a way and its fashion. Here conservativeness was highly esteemed. A proper guy would cherish a lady that doesn't look cheap or desperate for attention.

Covering up the proper places, speaking gently and blushing when praised. Gah! she's never done any of these so now she's gonna be like that all coz of these evil tattooes? No that's not a good way.

Yes the way to survive this is fashion and wisdom but she just can't go out looking like some holy geek with glasses on. Haha! There's another fashion way. Sexy killer fashion. Yeah, that goes well with her personality. Fine then killer babe fashion is what she's going for .

"Take that you snake!" she said in her heart.

She left the room and made sure to destroy all the CCTV cameras along the way to her room and no servant dared to complain, for they knew her temper. They all stated at their feet and meekly greeted her so they didn't see the tattooes on her body. That was great!

Reaching her room, she quickly closed the door and sighed.

"Passed the test. Now I just need to sort out my stuff for now. These tattooes must be covered." she thought as she headed towards her closet.

Meanwhile, Mr and Mrs. Sharma were at a loss on what to do.

Yuvraj had ordered the servants to close the door from outside and then took a scarf from the chair.

"Young lad, don't cry anymore. I'm sorry that your in this state. Look, cover yourself with this scarf first. Then, we can talk like adults. I was impulsive. I'm sorry, ok?" Priya inched closer to Aqualino after taking the scarf from her husband.

" Young lad..."

"I said don't touch or come near me. Both of you get lost by the count of ten." Aqualino said coldly.

He'd stopped sobbing but still didn't raise his head.

"Baby, he's unhappy now. Let's go out. He'll meet us soon. Let him have some privacy for now." said Yuvraj.

He didn't want this guy to transform to that seven headed serpent version. It was way too scary to behold!

"Fine. When you're ok, let's talk. Once again, I am sorry..."

"4....3...2.."

Yuvraj quickly dragged his wife out of the hall despite her complaint. The scarf fell on the floor in the process.

After locking the door, Aqualino raised his head, his eyes had turned golden and his lips chestnut.

Slowly, his green hair became pink and his hair grew longer. His legs fused and elongated before changing to a snake tail.

The scarf on the floor levitated and caught fire when he stares at it.

"This family's ladies are evil. How am I gonna start getting used to my human mate? Why do I get hit whenever I see a female member of this family. Why?" he muttered.

His hands and teeth were clenched , his body trembling and at the verge of losing control. Everytime, the ladies here beat him, he always transforms and ends up bare. What kind of curse was laid on him? Who did he offend? As much as he wanted to leave, he knew he couldn't.

Coz his mate has already been found and his task is to tame her and make her love him but that... is just impossible judging from the current situation.

Argh!

He hit the floor in exasperation. Though he had controlled his strength the floor had several deep cracks and some furniture moved from their original spot.

He then rose and took out some clothes from his storage ring. In the blink of an eye he became clothed in a black T-shirt, yellow jeans, white sneakers with a gold chain around his neck. This time his hair has returned to green color but it still has some tints of pink at the tip and roots.

He changed his eye and lip color to normal and then twirled. His hair length shortened at a fast rate and became neck length once again.

"I guess this should be good for now. And as for that stubborn mate of mine and her family, just let them wait." he thought.

When he's done, they're gonna worship him.

When he came out of the hall, he saw Yuvraj and his wife sitting on a convertible couch, waiting for him.

*************

Guinea hospital.

Now that everything has returned to normal, baby Yao was held by Ling who was very happy after downing two bottles of cold water. They were back at the scene where Ling was given the baby.

"Congratulations!" the medical staff said with smiles.

"Thanks. Vanessa, my dear, thanks for everything. I'm sorry you had to go through all that pain. From now on I won't disobey my mum. I love you, Vanessa." he said a smile and kissed her.

"Yeah, I love too. Just be sure to be rougher when I've recovered. You know I really miss little Ling'er. Tell me, has he grown taller?" Vanessa asked.

"Ahem, please, take your time to bond with the baby, we'll give you some privacy." the male doctor said and signified the others.

They followed him out.

"Vanny, look what you did. You drove them out. Did you see how sad they were?" Ling feigned annoyance.

"It's better. Can I see little Ling'er, yet?" she asked teasingly.

"Vanny, our daughter is here. See her red face. She must want to cry thinking you don't like her." Ling complained.

You know, baby Yao is in her tiny original form but she's still sensible.

"You bastards, can't you tell I'm here? Ready to ditch me for another child so early when I haven't been fed. I regret helping you two. Annoying!" baby Yao thought. Yes, her face is red from anger.

"Baby Yao, my dear, come let's Mama feed you." Vanny took baby Yao from Ling and brought out her right breast.

"Eat my baby, eat" Vanny encouraged but baby Yao was unwilling.

"I should be eating cakes and now all you are giving me is that thing. I'm not eating." she thought unhappily.

"Baby Yao, eat okay. When you grow up, you can eat raw yam, potatoes, fish, eggs, beans, meat and roasted cakes." Ling telepathed to baby Yao. His memory was still intact and knew what she planned.

"You... evil!"

"Eat. It's your natural food for healthy growth and will make mummy happy. Eat!" Ling commanded telepathically.

"Just you wait." baby Yao swore but Ling smiled.

Baby Yao decided to eat her food (breast milk) while staring at Ling with baleful eyes.

"Whoa! My baby loves to eat. I'm so happy." Vanessa gently patted Yao and sang a song slowly.

"The tastes not bad. I can make do with this for now." thought baby Yao.

But at a restaurant, the other three, untouched peony, Lan and Li Hua were feasting. Others were shocked at the amount of food they have eaten and they were still asking for more!

"The ryshs too good. I likesh itsh ( The rice is too good. I like it)" Lan exclaimed repeatedly.

Li Hua on the other hand focused on eating chicken. This was her 30th chicken lap and she still had extra ten each in the 3 big trays on her table.

Yeah, 'Untouchable peony' had paid for three VIP tables and each table was filled with food. Our dear peony focused on eating cakes and anything sweet.

Lan ate lots of rice from her big bowl with extra piping hot rice on two big bowls awaiting her. The staff were at first happy that there was business but they suddenly felt embarrassed for the trio who are like today was the last day on Earth.

Almost all their chicken has been slaughtered, half a bag of rice was used and all ingredients for sweets too.

"We know you are rich but can you not embarrass us like this." this was everyone's thought.

30 minutes later.

The trio burped and patted their big bellies.

" Ahh! I've never been so full in my entire life." Lan said

"Poverty is indeed a disease. Sister, I want you to like you." Li Hua said while picking her teeth with tooth picks.

"Are you saying all of us guests are poor?" the others thought.

"Sister, what kind of man do you like?" Lan asked and burped.

"I like men with 600 packs. No, I mean 10 million packs and twelve heads." Li Hua said happily.

She was drunk after consuming a super expensive wine with the other two.

" Hehe, I want a man who can swallow a cow." Lan said and laughed foolishly.

" I want a handsome tsundere guy. I want him to be my slave, hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha"

Hearing these words from their mouth, many customers paid and left. They could not watch anymore.

"Ahhhh!" Lan screamed.

"What happened?" Li Hua asked in concern while burping.

"I think the baby is coming out soon." Lan said as she clutched her belly.

"Oh no, mine is coming out too!" Li Hua said.

"Let me take you to the hospital. Mine will come when we reach there." Untouchable peony added.

"But how? There's no car." Lan complained

"We'll see one in the restroom." Li Hua said.

So they helped each other to the restroom where they scared people with the speed of their pooping and screaming.

"Ahhhh! It's coming out. It's coming out." Lan yelled in one restroom.

"Keep pushing. We can all do it. Hold out, girls. Push! Push! Push!"

"Ahhhh! It's so strong!"

"Don't give up, you can do it. Push harder. We must survive to tell the story."

"Ahhhhh! It's so hard..."

"Push. Keep pushing."

They encouraged each other. Those outside didn't know what to say.

30 minutes later,

The trio held the wash basins, one hand at waist. They exhaled heavily with tired eyes.

"My, that was quite tough in there!" Lan lamented, struggling to stand.

"This is the first time I experienced this. But it's fun. Let's do it again." said Li Hua.

"No... no more. I'm done! I wonder how to fly back home. Sigh!" Zhang Mei said tiredly.

"Oh right, we haven't paid our bills yet or let's rather say, your bill, big sister." Lan reminded Zhang Mei.

"I know. The bill's on me. Argh! I'm so tired." Zhang Mei complained. "And my belly is this big too. How annoying!"

"Just take it as an experience of a lifetime and the moral lesson is : don't eat too much. Though we're learning it the hard way, hehe!" Li Hua added.

After waiting another five minutes, they could finally leave the bathroom.

They met staff and guests who stared at them weirdly but didn't care. They headed to the counter to pay up their bill.

"Ma'am, your bill is 16,400 yuan with discount. Thanks for patronage." said the female cashier.

"Hmph! Pretender! Think I didn't see your pissed face while we feasted on your low-grade food? You gave me quite a shock. I demand a compensation and hospital money." a shameless Lan spoke unhappily.

"Lan, enough. Let's go now!" Li Hua chided

"Consider yourself very lucky." Lan snorted and walked away with the others following her.

**********

Outside the restaurant, they parted ways, one party headed left and the other right.

Meanwhile,

At the Guinea hospital where our baby Yao has restored everything back to normal, Ling and his parents were pampering mother and daughter with joy. Occasionally, Ling would taunt Yao telepathically but she pretended no to care.

Who knew there'd be a big storm up ahead? Three days later, mother and daughter were certified ready and were discharged.

Reaching home, Ling threw a grand party, many were invited including their neighbors whether they were well-off or not. The party lasted till 11 pm. At that time, mother and daughter had retired early to sleep.

A slightly tipsy Ling came into the matrimonial room and saw baby Yao seated in a meditative pose and shook his head. He made her lie properly and headed to the bathroom.

30 minutes later, Ling came out smelling really good with towel on his waist and another little one on his head.

"Ahh, so happy!" he muttered but baby Yao finally spoke.

"Bad daddy, what do you think you are doing? You are indecent in front of an innocent baby." she complained.

"Baby Yao, I thought you didn't wanna speak to me, heh? You say I'm indecent, what about you who's looking at a half nude man without shame? Tell me, who's more shameless?" Ling questioned, a teasing smile found its way to his lips.

"I'm gonna sleep and don't you dare change clothes in front of me or dream of kissing me goodnight." she warned.

"I heard. I'm not even interested. Only my wife and your mom deserves the stuff you stated." Ling spoke heartlessly and baby Yao hmphed.

"Like I care. Stupid dad!" she rebutted before turning to face the other way.

Ling smirked and headed to the changing room. He came out 5 minutes later wearing purple pajamas.

He walked over to baby Yao's crib and saw that she was asleep.

"Hehe, my beautiful Yao, don't break the hearts of men alright? Look at you, so beautiful. Let Daddy kiss you!" he bent his body to kiss her when a shield appeared around her and she opened her eyes.

"Stupid dad!" she said and went back to sleep.

Ling shook his head in resignation and sat on the bed, put out the lights, kissed his wife Vanessa before going to sleep.

Noticing that her dad was now asleep, Yao opened her eyes again and sat up to cultivate. She only gets time to sleep during the day but night is the time to train her powers.

The next day, Vanessa was breast-feeding baby Yao while patting her gently. Ling sang a song for Yao and she only concentrated on eating before falling asleep.

"Oho, my princess has finished eating. It's my turn now." Ling shamelessly said.

"Shame on you, hubby. You're so greedy." Vanessa pouted.

"What? When I tried those peaches, there wasn't even any water in it. But Yao Yao gets to eat till she's full." said Ling.

"Oh, so what did you eat as a baby?" Vanessa asked.

"I ate yam, soaked bread, liquid biscuits and cold water."

"Your mom did great but she could use some improvements. She should feed you fried chicken laps from day one." Vanessa rolled her eyes.

"How can you be so uncaring?" Ling feigned being hurt.

"We're both evil. You took my virginity in a savage way. I couldn't walk for a week."

"But I heard news of you beating up a hoodlum the next day and you were the one who locked your legs around my waist urging me to go harder that night. You even put aphrodisiac in my wine that night. Now you're complaining!" Ling pretended to be sad.

"Seriously, you two are saying such stuff in front of an innocent baby like me?" Yao thought unhappily and began to cry.

WAHHHHHH WAHHHHHH

At once, Vanessa handed baby Yao to Ling.

"Let me go prepare some food, you pamper her to sleep after all she's what you put in me." Vanessa shamelessly said before leaving.

"You... weren't you the one who caged my sperm?" Ling was puzzled as to how to handle this situation. He had not much experience on handling crying babies. Hats off to his mom.

"Yao, you did this on purpose?" he telepathically asked her.

"Yeah! Next time don't forget I'm very mature for my age." Yao warned.

"Then, do you know what sperm is or how babies are born?" Ling teased.

"Of course!"

"Ahem... Ahem" Ling coughed.

"It starts with kissing and ends with penetrating. That's the visible part. The invisible part is where one lucky sperm fertilize mummy's big egg and then... boom! A baby has arrived. This is according to the inherited memories of mine." explained Yao indifferently but Ling's face was red.

"Why's your face red? Are you sick? If yes, just put me down. I don't wanna contract any disease from you." Yao spoke quickly.

To be honest, Ling knew he'd have to educate Yao about sex at some point but he planned to do it slowly at six till she turned 15. But what was this? He knew she didn't even understand what she said but it was already in her memories at 0 months then if she became a year old...

He wanted to tease her but he ended up dropping the rock he raised at his own foot. How ironic! What should he do now?

"Yao... your memories, do they come to you very fast?" he asked.

"No, I forced this one open. What's wrong?" she asked.

"Err... nothing. Next time don't force inherited memories to open. Promise me you'll do it only when you are 15." Ling sought to correct his mistakes.

"I plan on doing so at 18." Yao said.

"Then that's great. Keep it up!" Ling felt his raging heart calm down.

"Then Dad, let's play a game." she suggested.

"Ok!" he would do anything to get her mind off such topic.

"Let's do riddles." she said happily.

"I'm bad at that," Ling confessed.

"That's why I called you stupid. All you can do is wear a nice suit and sit on money." Yao's words were like an arrow that pierced Ling's heart.

"You..."

"Bleh! Playing games with you would just lower my intelligence."

"You..." Ling was at a loss for words.

kind of baby did he father? She's too smart!

"K.O!" Yao muttered before yawning and going to sleep for real.

"....?"

Ling also wanted to sleep too. It seems the days ahead would be tough. He suddenly wanted to be like his wife.

Ignorance they say, is bliss.

*****************

Beijing, China.

Lan and Li Hua finally returned home, dead tired and sat on their beds.

"Hello, pretty ladies. Recall me?"

"Eh? who's here?"

"Show yourself!"

"I know you two are powerful but I am not scared of you two. I'm here to harness the evil dwelling in you."

The door opened and a man came in.
