My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 384 Stealing the Phoenix to Turn into a Dragon? 1

Gu Changbin nodded solemnly. "Of course."

No sooner had he spoken than the chubby child jumped up, stood on the chair, and said, "Uncle, didn’t you say that Daddy went to heaven?"

"COUGH! COUGH!"

Gu Changbin coughed heavily with embarrassment, glaring at the chubby child. "What nonsense are you spouting? When did your uncle ever say that?"

Even if he had said it, he couldn’t admit it in front of his brother-in-law. This child has no sense of conversational tact at all! Did I really teach him personally?

Suddenly, Gu Shurong let out a loud cry, throwing himself into Mo Yinhe’s arms and hugging his neck. "Daddy, Daddy, are you really my biological father?"

Mo Yinhe snorted coldly, not wanting to acknowledge his own son in the slightest!

At this moment, Mo Yinhe realized that it was Xiaobai who truly had his heart!

"HAHAHA, I have a biological daddy now~"

Gu Shurong was ecstatic, clinging tightly to Mo Yinhe’s neck, unwilling to let go, making it hard for Mo Yinhe to breathe.

With one hand supporting his son, Mo Yinhe extended the other, picked up a piece of meat, and brought it to his son’s mouth. "Do you want me to be your father?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Gu Shurong noisily chewed on the meat his father had offered him.

"I super want it! I super want it! I super want it! Now I can play with the spaceship every day, YAY! YAY! YAY!"

His biological father’s spacecraft must be available for his biological son to play with. I won’t be threatened by Daddy anymore! Wow, nice!

Mo Yinhe’s expression cracked. "..."

So, the spaceship is more appealing?

At that moment, Yun Yin received a phone call and stepped outside.

Half an hour later, he returned to the private room, some of the gloominess in his heart seemingly lifted, and he once again proactively tried to please his sister.

"Sister, I apologize. Don’t be angry with me. I have indeed found out who the person behind the scenes is—she is Bai Jiusi’s mother, Bai Chuanfeng. Come with me to the Mu Continent, and let’s seek revenge on her together!"

"You know that I can’t..."

Si Mingjing’s mood soured. She gripped her chopsticks tightly, her spirits low. "If I were Bai Jiusi, how could I kill my mother?"

Even though she had long forgotten everything about her previous life, that person, just like Si Yao, had carried her for ten months and given birth to her—how could she commit matricide?

"Sister, I just received news: Bai Chuanfeng does not have a Pure Yin Constitution!"

Si Mingjing didn’t look up; her eyelids didn’t even flicker. "So what?"

Sheng Liuyun, who had been sitting and drinking sullenly, put down his glass. "How could Bai Chuanfeng possibly not have a Pure Yin Constitution?"

Yun Yin explained, "She really doesn’t. My people have just verified that of the Bai family’s twin daughters, often called the ’Two Phoenixes,’ Bai Chuanfeng was born two hours later than Bai Danfeng. According to their birth charts, only Bai Danfeng has the Pure Yin Constitution, not Bai Chuanfeng!"

Si Mingjing, not understanding what they were discussing, asked, "What does it matter if she doesn’t have a Pure Yin Constitution?"

"Sister, are you being dense? If she doesn’t have a Pure Yin Constitution, how could she have been chosen by you as the mother for your nirvanic rebirth?"

Si Mingjing didn’t grasp this basic concept.

She knew very little about the Dragon Clan. So, did this mean she could only seek rebirth through nirvana via someone with a Pure Yin Constitution?

Sheng Liuyun said, "But she clearly gave birth to our little sister."

Yun Yin affirmed, "If she doesn’t have a Pure Yin Constitution, then she couldn’t possibly have been chosen by you as a mother! There must be something else going on here! Sister, come back with me to the Mu Continent, and let’s thoroughly investigate Bai Chuanfeng. If she doesn’t have a Pure Yin Constitution, then she simply cannot be your mother, and it wouldn’t be matricide!"

Sheng Liuyun propped up his chin, his eyes reflecting complex emotions. "Could it be that Bai Danfeng gave birth to our little sister? But wasn’t Bai Danfeng pregnant with a boy at the time? Could it be..."

Suddenly, Sheng Liuyun turned to look at Yun Yin.

Their gazes met, and Yun Yin nodded speculatively. "It’s highly probable!"

The two were speaking in riddles. Si Mingjing asked, "Could it be what?"

Sheng Liuyun slammed the table abruptly and declared, "Little sister, that year, Bai Danfeng and Bai Chuanfeng went into labor on the same night. Bai Danfeng gave birth to a male infant, and Bai Chuanfeng gave birth to you. If Bai Chuanfeng does not have the Pure Yin Constitution and Bai Danfeng does, then... it’s very likely this was a case of swapping a phoenix for a dragon—a switch at birth!"

In the Mu Continent, aside from the Dragon Clan, the entire social system is matrilineal. Regardless of the couple, children take the mother’s surname.

When men and women marry, it’s the man who marries into the woman’s family; women hold the right of family inheritance!

Therefore, all families favor daughters over sons!

Because having a daughter means continuing the family line, while a son will marry out and become someone else’s live-in son-in-law!

As the old saying goes, "A married-out son is like spilled water."

Thus, everyone wishes for daughters. This is especially true for prominent families with large estates requiring a daughter to inherit; they hope even more fervently for daughters!

The Bai Family is also a wealthy and influential family in the Mu Continent.

At that time, both daughters of the Bai Family, Bai Danfeng and Bai Chuanfeng, were pregnant.

Old Madam Bai had said, "Whoever gives birth to a daughter will inherit the Bai Family’s estate."

That night, Bai Danfeng and Bai Chuanfeng simultaneously went into labor.

Bai Danfeng gave birth to a son, and Bai Chuanfeng gave birth to Bai Jiusi, who also happened to be a Little Dragon.

Old Madam Bai was overjoyed and passed the family estate to Bai Chuanfeng!

"Is it possible," Sheng Liuyun continued, "that it was Bai Danfeng who gave birth to Bai Jiusi, and Bai Chuanfeng who gave birth to a male infant? But, to fight for the Bai Family’s estate, Bai Chuanfeng switched the two children?"

Yun Yin coaxed persuasively, "Sister, you must return to the Mu Continent with me to properly investigate this matter!"

Sheng Liuyun, also seeing a new way to persuade their little sister to return home, chimed in, "That’s right, little sister! You need to go to the Mu Continent and look into this carefully. If a switch really happened, then Bai Chuanfeng absolutely cannot be forgiven. How preposterous!"

Si Mingjing listened, frowning slightly. She said, "Hmm."

Mo Yinhe’s internal alarm bells rang loudly. His gaze, inscrutable, landed on Yun Yin and Sheng Liuyun. Then, he interjected, "Mingjing, your great-aunt is on Xingguang Island. If you want to get to the bottom of this, you don’t necessarily have to go to the Mu Continent."

"Who is my great-aunt?" Si Mingjing asked.

"Bai Danfeng."

Mo Yinhe continued, "In the past, Baby invited Bai Danfeng to settle on Xingguang Island.

Due to an illness, Bai Danfeng was not suited to living in the Undersea World. Her doctor recommended daily sun exposure for her health.

Baby, who was close to this great-aunt, warmly invited her to live on Xingguang Island.

There, Bai Danfeng found her second spring, marrying a man from the land.

By that time, Bai Danfeng was already a widow. When she found a second chance at happiness, Baby encouraged her great-aunt to actively pursue it.

However, for a highborn lady of an Undersea noble clan to have married a man from what they considered a lower world—this caused the Bai Family to lose face completely.

In a fit of rage, Old Madam Bai disowned Bai Danfeng!

From then on, Bai Danfeng settled down on Xingguang Island with her second husband."

Si Mingjing thought for a moment. "I want to meet her."
