Chapter 213

Chapter 213 Chubby poked his head out, curiously observing his surroundings, His body was covered in dazzling, ruby–like scales, Resting on Nyx’s white sleeve, he stood out strikingly.

Sharp–eyed spectators immediately noticed him.

[Did anyone else see that? Am I imagining things?]

[I saw it! A tiny snake.]

[A hatchling?]

[No way?]

[Lord Nyx can’t possibly have had a child this soon.]

[But that little snake looks exactly like Jaws!]

[So what? Pets can look like that too.]

[It looks way too well–behaved to be a pet.]

[Well, in front of Lord Nyx, behaving is only natural.]

The livestream chat was filled with heated debates, and the crowd at the scene was just as lively.

Chubby vaguely understood that someone was questioning whether he was really Mama’s child, and he was furious.

“Mama!” He called out in his babice, clinging to Nyx’s hand. “What’s a pet?”

The scene instantly fell silent. Even the livestream chat went quiet.

Nyx had heard the whispers around her. She picked up the aggrieved little one, kissed him, and reassured him. “Chubby, you are not a pet.”

After getting a few kisses from Nyx, Chubby quickly cheered up, but he still tilted his little head and kept asking, “Then what is a pet?”

Jaws had never taught him this. He was wondering why everyone called him a pet.

Nyx thought for a moment. “A pet is a little animal that people love and keep to accompany them.”

Before she could finish, Chubby proudly claimed the title. “Then I’m Mama’s pet!”

Nyx was so amused that she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

This was a live news broadcast across the entire web.

Being watched by the whole Empire, Chubby had just shown up for the first time. StarNet had completely exploded.

No one mocked the cub’s innocent words–everyone was too shocked.

[A cub... it’s really a cub...]

[AAAAHHHHHHHH!]

1/4 Chapter 213 [Did he just call her Mama?]

[Oh my! Oh my!]

[My Beast God!]

[Lord Nyx’s exceptional bloodline has been passed down!]

[So tiny and adorable...]

[He looks so soft and squishy, I want to pinch him...]

[For the first time, I don’t find a python scary at all.]

[His nickname is Chubby? Was he already fat inside the egg?]

[HAHAHAHAHAHA!]

[Chubby, don’t look! It’s hate comments!]

Male snake beastmen were usually not well–liked because their bodies were covered in cold scales, and their patterns were often unsettling.

But Chubby was so tiny, freshly hatched not long ago, and had absorbed too many nutrients in the egg–his body was covered in baby fat. His scales were also shiny and delicate, instantly capturing the hearts of the audience.

The onlookers‘ excitement was no less than that of Jaws, who had just become a father.

Chubby’s mother was an SSS–level female, and his father was an SS–level male. With such high genetic ranks, Chubby’s very birth was a miracle.

[Curious–when exactly was he born?]

[He’s so lively and speaks fluently... Feels like he’s at least a year old...]

[!]

[They kept it hidden for this long?]

[Suddenly, a question–did Lord Nyx willingly carry this cub?]

[I was wondering the same thing...]

[If you do the math, it must have been when she was kidnapped by the Space Pirates.]

[Hiss...]

Nyx sat in the spacecraft heading home, opened her Intelligent Brain, and checked the discussions about Chubby–only to be stunned by the sudden shift in topic.

On StarNet, Jaws had already been vilified as a monstrous villain, with an outpouring of condemnation.

“They think I forced you? What an injustice.” Jaws leaned over and sat beside her.

Despite the harsh words directed at him, he remained unfazed. Instead, he playfully teased Chubby with a smile in his voice.

“Can’t be helped–our Chubby is just too smart and sturdy. He’s nothing like a newborn hatchling.”

He didn’t care about others‘ opinions. His reputation meant nothing to him as long as he had a clear conscience.

2/4 Chapter 218 But Nyx couldn’t tolerate him being falsely accused of something he hadn’t done.

Soon, everyone noticed–Nyx had updated her Starlet feed, Medical reports, pregnancy photos, videos of Chubby happily rolling on the floor, and footage of his hatching under the watchful eyes of his parents... A single post laid out the entire growth journey of the cub, brimming with Nyx’s love for him.

It showed that Chubby wasn’t a child conceived under coercion.

The comment section instantly filled up with replies, [Rolling around even before hatching? So our dear Chubby has always been this energetic!]

[Is this the power of top–tier genes?]

[Must be great nutrition in the egg–hatched late but still miles ahead in development...]

[Oh my, truly a baby raised in love...]

[Never thought I’d live to see the day I’d be jealous of a hatchling.]

[Same here!]

II suddenly feel guilty about my own baby. I’ve always kept them in the incubator... I’m going to hold them right now.]

[Me too, time to give my baby a hug...]

Someone had saved the deleted post and re–uploaded it for everyone to see.

A ruthless and formidable Space Pirates leader, yet secretly letting a hatchling ride on his head—just imagining it had an oddly adorable charm to the viewers.

Jaws‘ reputation was instantly shattered. He quickly looked at the post, let out a chuckle, and shook his head. Rather than engaging in an argument with his subordinates, he chose to divert his attention to playing with Chubby.

*****

Chubby wasn’t just doted on by his biological parents–his birth was even celebrated with a royal banquet.

Before attending the banquet, Nyx made a stop at home.

This estate had been designed with child–rearing in mind from the start. The males had prepared a room specifically for Chubby.

The fresh environment delighted Chubby, keeping him restless. After exploring his own room, he made rounds to inspect his mother’s and fathers‘ rooms.

Even after playing for half the day, he remained full of energy, while Nyx couldn’t help but yawn.

“Tired?” Zayne picked her up and examined her. “You haven’t been at full energy these past two days.”

Earth’s environment was visibly harsh, and he was worried Nyx’s health had been affected.

Nyx didn’t feel any discomfort–just more drowsy than usual. She jokingly said, “Maybe I’m pregnant again.”

When she was pregnant with Chubby, she had been constantly sleepy.

Zayne shook his head helplessly. Given their genetic level, having Chubby was already a miracle. Zayne thought it was impossible for another pregnancy so soon.

3/4 Fri, 28 Feb Chapter 213 “Let me check,” he said, carrying Nyx to the medical pod.

A few minutes later, he reviewed the detailed examination report, his furrowed brows slowly easing.

“Well?” Nyx smiled at him. “Everything normal?”

Zayne was just about to nod when his eyes landed on a particular data point–his expression instantly darkened.
