Chapter 319: Chapter 319

Jin Kun’s mouth twitched. "When have I ever wanted revenge? Am I that petty?"

"And you still say you’re not petty?!"

"Forget it, forget it. I’m not talking to you anymore."

Jin Kun said, "Fourth Brother, we’re twins. By all accounts, we should be the closest of brothers. How could you not lend me a hand when you saw I was being foolish?"

Jin Yang retorted, "I didn’t help you? Didn’t I give you a hint by Sage Bridge? You’re the one being silly, and you blame me?"

Jin Yang said, "Third Brother, look. A sister of the same blood is truly a sister of the same blood. Yan Yan is so adorable; she makes me really want to pamper her. I dream of having such a great sister. Ah, if it weren’t for Jin Yao, I wouldn’t have offended my own sister so harshly. It really infuriates me to think about it."

Jin Kun frowned slightly.

Every word Jin Yang said hit home. Si Yan really was his ideal sister. She was cute, gentle, clever, quick-witted, and genuinely kind-hearted—just like the females of the Golden Dragon Clan. If Si Yan had grown up in the Golden Dragon Clan, he would definitely have spoiled her to the skies. He just didn’t know why he had been so blind and foolish before.

"You still haven’t answered me. What are the names of Sixth Brother’s four cubs?"

Jin Yang didn’t beat around the bush anymore. "Look," he replied, "the red Sen Ran is named Dongchi, the black Sen Ran is Nan Mo, the green Sen Ran is Xi Qing, and the white one is Bei Ji. Easy to remember, right?"

Jin Kun was silent for a moment before saying, "The names sound nice."

"Which one stepped on you?"

Jin Kun didn’t reply. It was Xi Qing who had stepped on his arm. But he didn’t care in the slightest. Why bother telling Jin Yang as if he were tattling?

The rain of the great rainy season was like the torrential downpour of a modern-world typhoon. After several days, it would lessen or even stop. Having flooded so many places for so many days, it finally began to subside. The heavy rain turned into a drizzle and gradually came to a halt.

The Beastmen in Myriad Beasts City were instantly overjoyed. "Quick, quick, sweep the water out!"

After the rain stopped, the sky cleared and the air freshened. The two uncles, as anxious as those waiting for a sister’s return, saw Dongchi, Nan Mo, Xi Qing, Bei Ji, and Bi Yao—five youngsters with tender features enough to provoke screams from females—walking out the door together.

Jin Kun instantly perked up!

Jin Yang shoved Jin Kun back with his hand, his gaze fixed excitedly on the four little ones, completely ignoring Bi Yao.

Jin Kun, pushed back, glared at Jin Yang.

The four little ones and Bi Yao each held something in their hands, but Jin Kun and Jin Yang couldn’t yet recognize what it was.

Xi Qing asked, "Big Brother, do you think we can catch any fish?"

Dongchi replied, "Let’s give it a try; there’s no harm. With the current food shortage, we should help the family as much as we can. The water has risen so high, you can even see fish swimming just a few steps away. It’d be a shame not to catch and eat them."

Bei Ji said, "Yes, exactly!"

Nan Mo, holding Bi Yao’s hand, smiled at his brothers.

Jin Yang patted Jin Kun and, paying him no further heed, eagerly appeared before them.

His face was wreathed in smiles, as if afraid the four little ones wouldn’t see he was ’smiling’ and ’ingratiating himself’.

"What are you guys up to? Take your uncle with you. I can be helpful!"

Jin Kun coolly followed, his arm in a sling.

The five youngsters: "..."

They seem kind of foolish, Bi Yao thought, glancing at his two older cousins. He quickly averted his gaze, pretending not to see them.

Dongchi chuckled. "Do you really want to help?"

Jin Yang nodded frantically, and Jin Kun also silently nodded.

Dongchi’s little face still had some baby fat, making him look extremely cute, but his eyes were sly. "That’s perfect," he said. "We’re going fishing. You guys know what fish like to eat, right?"

Xi Qing’s long hair was tied back. His little face was tender and rosy, and his eyes crinkled when he laughed, making him look pure and harmless. "Earthworms," he said. "They like earthworms."

Bei Ji placed his hands on his hips, his small face and arms endearingly plump. "If you want to help, then go catch some earthworms!" he declared. "Catch a lot! We need them for fishing!"

Nan Mo was the cutest; his eyebrows and eyes curved when he smiled, looking just like Si Yan’s.

Jin Yang and Jin Kun thought, So cute... How can our nephews be so adorable? Even though we feel like you’re subtly mocking us, we don’t dare say anything.

The four little ones found a good spot for fishing. Bi Yao just wanted to watch, not fish, so he stayed to the side.

A complete fishing rod required a rod, a line, and a hook with bait.

Since Si Yan had made ironware during the Sage Bridge Competition, Delusional Tavern had acquired more iron goods. The woks and spatulas had already been replaced with pure iron, to say nothing of fishhooks, which didn’t require much iron anyway.

When the cubs said they wanted to fish, A’ye, that sly old fox, quickly made the hooks for them.

Any tree branch would do for the fishing rod, and the line was made from the tendons of hunted game.

After the cubs assembled their rods, lines, and hooks, the two hapless uncles brought over the earthworms they had caught.

The cubs were finally satisfied upon seeing the earthworms. They each baited their hooks and cast their lines.

All four cubs fished with surprising skill. Bi Yao’s eyes gleamed. "WOW! WOW!!"

Before long, Xi Qing caught a palm-sized fish. "I got one! I got one!"

After catching the fish, he put it into the fish basket they had brought. This update ıs available on novel✶fire.net

Upon seeing this, Jin Yang became excited and immediately ran over to look at the fish. Compliments flowed from him like a rainbow! "Wow, Xi Qing, you’re amazing! Only five years old and you can already hunt! And you’re hunting fish! So many adult Beastmen can’t catch fish, yet you’ve caught one!"

With that, Jin Yang gave him a big thumbs-up!

After Jin Yang’s burst of flattery, Jin Kun realized he was a beat too slow, which irked him.

He glared at his younger brother. That younger brother of mine usually seems slow, but how is he so slick when it comes to flattering the nephews?!

Dongchi’s eyes lit up. He suddenly stood up, exclaiming with a laugh, "My hook’s got something!!"

He was very excited, laughing heartily as he lifted his line, pulling up a fish twice the size of Xi Qing’s. Dongchi was immediately delighted and put the fish into the basket.

This time, Jin Kun was quicker with his flattery. "Little Dongchi, you’re just too awesome, way better than your Fourth Uncle! You actually caught such a big fish! Look at it—so plump and definitely delicious!"

The Fourth Uncle glared fiercely at the Third Uncle. Flattery is one thing, but why did he have to put me down too?

Dongchi wiped his nose proudly. "Just average."

Nan Mo also stood up excitedly. He didn’t have time to communicate telepathically and simply lifted his fishing rod, revealing a red fish slightly smaller than Dongchi’s. He immediately put the fish into the basket.

Jin Yang and Jin Kun didn’t know Nan Mo could communicate telepathically. The two brothers thought, Our second nephew has it tough. He’s unable to speak but still growing up so healthy and bright. When we return to the Golden Dragon Clan, we must find the best medicine to cure him!

With this thought, Jin Kun’s and Jin Yang’s flattery flowed even more freely, as if it cost nothing.

Jin Kun gushed, "Nan Mo’s fish is red! Such a bright and beautiful color! It’s as dazzling as the sunset. Under the sunlight, it’s almost shimmering with golden light. Look at that big tail swinging back and forth—so pretty!"

Jin Yang chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, it’s big too, and looks delicious! Little Nan Mo, you’re so amazing! So young and already able to catch such a beautiful and tasty fish!"

Nan Mo laughed heartily.
