I Transmigrated As A Three-Year-Old Villain With A Redemption System?! - Chapter 17:

Chapter 17: Divine Beast Bloodline

Chi Yanyun was so furious she nearly spat blood. Her own son—the Su family’s heir—was being made to play a dog’s wife! If this hadn’t been a game between toddlers, she would’ve stormed in with a sword!

Madam Hua also felt awkward and tried to smooth things over. “Children speak without a filter…”

Xi Yaoyue’s expression was calm, but her hand trembled as she lifted her teacup. “Qingwen.”

The maid Qingwen replied, “Madam.”

Xi Yaoyue said, “Prepare some extra dog food.”

Qingwen stifled a laugh. “Yes, I’ll take care of it right away.”

Chi Yanyun’s eyes burned with rage. “Xi Yaoyue, what did you just say?”

Xi Yaoyue feigned surprise. “Ah? I was thinking, since Luor will be visiting our residence often in the future, we should prepare some food for Xiao Hei.”

“What? Madam Chi, do you object?”

“If you’re short on money, feel free to ask me.”

Chi Yanyun was left speechless, scraping white scratch marks into the armrest from anger.

As Qingwen exited, she couldn’t help but mutter, “Madam has a dark side too…”

There wasn’t just one Xiao Hei. There was now Xiao Hei’s wife!

Madam Hua didn’t linger for long. After some small talk, she prepared to leave.

Just as they were about to go, she noticed her daughter looked unhappy and asked, “What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?”

Bai Qiluo pouted, “Brother Yun!”

Xiao Qingchen approached to bid farewell, his face full of humiliation and torment. Hearing that his future wife was complaining about Su Yun instantly lifted his mood a bit.

Xi Yaoyue held Su Yun’s hand. “How did you bully your little sister?”

Madam Hua waved it off. “The kids are just playing—don’t take it seriously.”

“Luor, tell me, what happened?”

Bai Qiluo teared up. “Brother Yun wouldn’t let me kiss him!”

Xiao Qingchen’s joy got stuck in his chest, neither rising nor falling.

“Uh…” Madam Hua was embarrassed. “Why were you even thinking about that?”

Bai Qiluo answered as if it was perfectly normal. “You and Daddy always kiss. Since I’m playing Mommy and Brother Yun is Daddy, we should kiss too!”

Madam Hua quickly covered her daughter’s mouth, face flushed red. “What nonsense are you saying, you silly girl!”

“Ahem… Xiao Yun, Xiao Qingchen, we’ll head back now. Let’s play again next time.”

“Madam Xi, Madam Chi, we’ll visit again soon.”

She dragged her daughter away in a hurry.

Xi Yaoyue glanced at Su Yun and poked his head. “Dense little boy.”

Once on the carriage, Madam Hua noticed her daughter was hugging Xiao Hei so tightly she was nearly strangling him.

She laughed and scolded, “Let go! You’re going to suffocate him!”

“Why are you hugging him so tightly?”

Bai Qiluo loosened her grip a little, but still clutched him firmly. “Brother Yun gave him to me!”

“If I let go, the original Xiao Hei and the puppy Brother Yun gave me might both disappear!”

Madam Hua recalled that little Su Yun—just three years old—was already able to wrap her two-and-a-half-year-old around his finger.

Any child with basic education wouldn’t fall for that.

“Fine, hold him, but don’t squeeze him.” Madam Hua sighed.

“Looks like we need to send her to an academy soon…”

Xiao Hei had nearly seen the gates of the underworld and now wagged his tail like mad in relief. Escaping his owner’s claws, he climbed into Madam Hua’s lap.

As she petted his head, Madam Hua mused, “No matter how I look at it, Su Yun is better looking than Qingchen.”

“Good luck, good nature, even the Minister of War admires him. He’s destined for greatness.”

“Generous too—just gave away the Heavenly Fortune Jade Pendant like it was nothing.”

“If they really do marry, even if Luor wears the pendant every day, he won’t stop her.”

“But… sigh, the bloodline problem—how do we resolve that?”

She hesitated.

Would she really have to break the ancestral marriage contract again, let the two children marry early, and then arrange another marriage into the Su family for the next generation?

“Ouch!” Madam Hua cried out and threw Xiao Hei to the floor.

Xiao Hei: So?

Madam Hua checked her skirt and found a charred hole. Pulling aside her clothes, she saw a red burn on her thigh.

The shape was clearly a paw print—Xiao Hei’s!

“Xiao Hei?” Madam Hua had average talent but was forcefully pushed into the 3rd stage of the Five Realms using rare treasures from the Zhaoming Marquis Residence.

She scanned him clumsily with her divine sense and was immediately alarmed.

That morning, Xiao Hei had still been an ordinary dog.

But now, his bones, muscles, and internal organs all emitted a faint glow.

In just a few hours, he had become a spirit beast!

Madam Hua exclaimed, “Xiao Hei?”

Xiao Hei tilted his head and opened his mouth to bark.

But the sound that came out was like thunder, resonating like a divine bird’s cry or a phoenix’s call.

BOOM!

The carriage abruptly halted. Madam Hua asked reflexively, “What happened?”

The coachman was drenched in sweat. “Madam, the horse suddenly went weak in the legs!”

“Please wait—I’ll handle it at once.”

“Strange… this is a high-bloodline spirit beast horse. Why would it collapse all of a sudden?”

Madam Hua quickly pulled Bai Qiluo over to check if she had any burns.

Finding none, she sighed in relief.

Then she turned to Xiao Hei, her eyes full of suspicion. “Could Xiao Hei have a divine beast bloodline?”

“But even if he does, it’s always been dormant—there were never any signs of awakening.”

“Could it be… Su Yun?”

“After visiting his home, the bloodline suddenly awakened.”

“He gave Xiao Hei back to Luor…”

“Wait, was that his real plan?”

“Luor’s dog was just a normal mutt. But he gave her a spirit beast with divine beast bloodline?”

The more Madam Hua thought about it, the more shocked she became.

The Su family… might be hiding some massive secret.

She looked down and asked, “Luor, do you still want to visit Su Yun’s house?”

Bai Qiluo didn’t hesitate. “Yes!”

Madam Hua nodded. “In a few days, I’ll take you there again.”

Bai Qiluo beamed. “Okay!”

…

Several peaceful days passed.

Nothing major happened during that time. Su Yun, being three years old, ran around wildly all on his own.

The day after the Bai family’s visit, Xiao Qingchen seemed to change completely, coming every day to greet them.

Xi Yaoyue was a little touched but also felt conflicted.

She did hope her biological son would do well, but only if he didn’t compete with his brother for status and glory.

“It’s my fault too. If it weren’t for that mix-up three years ago, Qingchen wouldn’t have been taken by the wrong family.”

“If I’d raised him properly, he wouldn’t have developed such a cold and violent temper.”

Xi Yaoyue sighed and then immediately felt torn again.

“If the mistake hadn’t happened, Yun’er would never have come into my life…”

“Sigh…”

She couldn’t bear to choose—both children were dear to her.

“As long as Qingchen can change and learn to love his family, he still has potential.”

Pulling herself from her thoughts, Xi Yaoyue had made sour plum soup that day and ladled a bowl for Su Yun. “Here, drink slowly.”

Su Yun had just picked up his spoon when—

BOOM!

The main gate was kicked open. A lively, energetic girl burst in. “Mom! Did Yun’er fall into Youlan Pool?”

“Let me see!”

SMACK!

She instantly spotted Su Yun, rushed over, grabbed his leg, and lifted him up, flipping him back and forth. “Nothing seems wrong. Did you really fall into Youlan Pool?”

“You look perfectly fine!”

Dangling like a toy, Su Yun was enraged. “Put me down!!!”

The girl dodged the question. “I’m worried about you, okay? Just let me finish checking!”

Su Yun waved his Little Arms and Legs, baring his teeth. “Su Moli!!!”

“Put me down! I won’t protect you anymore! I’ll kill you!!!”

Xi Yaoyue covered her face and sighed. “These two are a perfect storm…”
