Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 559 - 558: The Little Guy Suddenly Turned Into a Little Turtle
Chapter 559: Chapter 558: The Little Guy Suddenly Turned Into a Little Turtle
Su Chaoyang’s words made everyone think of the Black Tortoise’s own appearance: a snake entwined around a turtle, with two mouths and four eyes.
Such an appearance, even though it belonged to a Divine Beast, would still scare children.
Su Chenyi, as the father of the twins, heard his sons judge by appearances and say in the presence of the Black Tortoise that it ate people. He hastily apologized on their behalf: "Ancestor Black Tortoise, my two boys are too naughty and speak without a filter. I apologize on their behalf, sorry."
After he explained, the gloomy look on the Black Tortoise’s face did not change, and it still looked at Mianmian: "Your great-nephews talk like this, and you don’t manage them?"
That tone seemed a bit aggrieved, suggestively asking Mianmian to take charge for him.
Su Chenyi suddenly felt that what he had just said was somewhat superfluous. It seemed that the Black Tortoise cared only about Little Auntie and probably wasn’t too angry with the two little guys.
"Mianmian should manage them, should manage them," Mianmian quickly clarified her stance. "But their dad and mom are here, so even if Mianmian should manage them, she has to wait until after their dad and mom have done so, right?"
She was their great-aunt, such a senior elder that she should only step in after everybody else had their turn. That’s how it had been on the mountain: After the parents disciplined her, the family elders would come out to settle matters.
If the parents didn’t do well, the elders would criticize the parents; if well, they would smooth things over with a few words.
"Now that their dad has disciplined them, it’s their mom’s turn." As Mianmian spoke, she looked at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan had thought that she shouldn’t speak up in such a grand meeting with their ancestor, but now that Mianmian had called her out, she could only call her two sons to her side.
Su Chaoyang and Su Chaoyu obediently went to Lu Xuan when she called them and sat down next to her.
Lu Xuan then hugged the twins and explained gently, "Chaoyu, Chaoyang, didn’t mom tell you the story of Confucius and his disciple Ziyu? Do you remember what the story said?"
The two little ones thought for a moment, nodded, and replied, "Ziyu might not be good-looking, but he was very talented. Later, Confucius realized that one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover."
"Have you seen our ancestor Black Tortoise eat anyone while sitting here?" Lu Xuan asked bluntly.
Su Chaoyu and Su Chaoyang shook their heads in unison, their faces showing shame.
Right, the ancestor Black Tortoise had previously saved Little Auntie. It had been in their house for some time, and had spoken up only because they were making too much noise. Although the Black Tortoise looked fierce, it was certainly like their uncle who loved children at heart, and would never eat children.
The two little guys glanced at the Black Tortoise and leaned into Su Chenjin.
Thinking this way, the boys fear disappeared. They not only dared to look directly at the Black Tortoise but also ran over to apologize, bowing to the Black Tortoise. "We’re sorry, ancestor Black Tortoise. You saved our Little Auntie, and we were naughty and unthoughtful to say you eat people. We’re really sorry."
Mianmian, seeing this scene, had pride in her eyes.
Her great-nephews were good children, able to recognize and correct their mistakes.
Their parents’ scolding had done its job, and she, as their great-aunt, only needed to give a couple of compliments now!
So she widened her eyes, waiting for the Black Tortoise to forgive her great-nephews before she spoke.
The Black Tortoise saw the look of expectation on Mianmian’s face and knew what she was thinking. He waved his hand and lightly "hmmed" to let the incident pass.
He had thought that the gesture would quiet the two boys, but when he waved his hand, they instead drew closer, their round eyes, similar to Mianmian’s, gazing at him curiously and asking, "Ancestor Black Tortoise, you used to have long hair. Why do you have short hair now?"
"Ancestor Black Tortoise, your hair has gotten short. Did you get a haircut? Was it the hair on your turtle head or snake head?"
"Ancestor Black Tortoise..."
"Ancestor..."
Annoying!
The Black Tortoise snapped his fingers.
The two little ones who were circling around him suddenly turned into little turtles and fell to the ground.
This move startled the Su Family members.
Two fine boys had turned into little turtles on the ground, rolling several times.
Old Lady Su didn’t want to appear too shocked, so as not to upset the Black Tortoise. She looked down at her two grandsons, anxious in her eyes.
Lu Xuan seemed even more panicked; her emotions were already on edge, and now she clutched Su Chenyi’s hand tightly, too frightened to make a sound.
Su Chenyi, on the other hand, felt it was fine. Little Auntie had brought the Black Tortoise home, so it wouldn’t harm her family. The two noisy boys had persisted in pestering it and deserved the consequences.
Moreover, being able to transform was every little boy’s dream, even if it was into two little turtles!
Those two boys must be thrilled by now!
"Xuanxuan, don’t be afraid," Su Chenyi spoke to reassure her. "The last time, they told us that after seeing the Little White Dragon transform, they also wanted to. Now, although they’ve turned into turtles, it’s still a transformation; they must be delighted."
Soon, Lu Xuan understood: indeed, men understand men better.
After the two little turtles stabilized on the ground, they indeed began to crawl everywhere. When they bumped into each other, they even opened their mouths – looking at each other and covering their mouths as if laughing.
Realizing they had both changed just like the other, Su Chaoyang and Su Chaoyu even tried to stand upright on their back legs, using a chair leg for support, shaking their heads and wagging their tails as if dancing.
While dancing, they remembered they hadn’t thanked the Black Tortoise for turning them into little turtles, and opened their mouths to try to make sounds.
Mianmian, after listening to her great-nephews, took responsibility for translating: "Uncle Xuan Wu, they say thank you for turning them into little turtles. They really like it!"
The Black Tortoise glanced at the two little turtles bowing to him on the floor and scowled.
He had thought this move would scare the two squirts into silence, so they would no longer chatter around him. Who could have known that even as turtles, they continued to babble.
Forget it, let’s pretend he couldn’t understand what the two little turtle boys were saying.
"Little Auntie, Old Lady, the meal is ready, please proceed to the restaurant." At the living room entrance, a servant came to invite everyone to dine.
Su Chenyi quickly said, "We’ve already eaten, so we won’t go, Little Auntie. You should eat more."
Mianmian nodded, leading the Black Tortoise and the quietly behaved little monkey to the restaurant.
Old Lady Su also followed. She hadn’t seen her little aunt in a long time and wanted to see more of her. Recently the little aunt had been busy, and she, as an elderly lady, felt bad about following her around.
The ice cream made by the Su Family chef tasted very good.
The Black Tortoise had two bites, then saw the little monkey perched on Mianmian’s head with bright eyes.
"Xiaoxiao wants to eat too, doesn’t he?" Mianmian asked the servant to help serve some.
After they finished the meal, Mianmian told Daoist Master Qing Xu that she had arrived home. Qing Xu replied on Whatsapp: [The court session starts at 8 AM tomorrow. Little Auntie, please come to this address.]
