Cub Raising Association

Chapter 45: Nesela festival

By the time Xie Tao returned to Yunbao Branch, the matter regarding the Houdie family had already caused a small disturbance on the Star Network and this time the public opinion appeared to be almost entirely unanimous.

After digging up information about the Houdie family's loss and the specific events, it became very clear that the Houdie family was in the wrong. From what they had found out, many people at once very easily associated Yunbao Branch with a specific role in this almost fiction-like drama.

"Going against such a big family for the sake of the cub, this club really isn't simple."

"I reckon the Houdie family didn't expect that the other side would have so much evidence and even witnesses. This overconfidence led to the capsizing of their ship. But anyway, I don't have even the tiniest bit of sympathy for them."

"I may not have the courage to change clubs, but even though my cub will not enroll at this Yunbao Branch, I would still like to express my support for the club. I hope this club will only get even better in the future."

In contrast to the complete condemnation of the Houdie family, there were also people who in the midst of the condemnation also praised Yunbao Branch.

Just by looking at Yunbao Branch's Xingyou account, it was clear that the club had been getting more and more attention these past few days.

"Our club's official account has tens of thousands of followers."

Looking at the rising number of followers, Xia Qi, who was responsible for managing the club's Xingyou account, was naturally very happy.

Considering the interstellar population as well as the number of followers of other well-known clubs, this amount was not enough. But they were getting there, bit by bit.

They had won the trial and by doing so they had also accidentally made themselves more famous, the mood of the people at the Yunbao Branch loosened up one after another.

However, after Xie Tao had returned to Yunbao Branch, he still had something he could not get off his mind. It was concerning mermaid cubs.

In the mermaid race, after a cub was born the parents would take their cub to receive a blessing from the God of the sea. It was a tradition of the mermaid race.

On Hailumite, in front of the statue of the sea god in the central city, there was a holy spring in which a crystal with a mystical dark blue color would be placed.

The birthstone, Alexis.

It was called the blessing of the sea god, but it was more appropriate to call it birth blessing. All the parents who came before the birthstone in order for their cubs to receive blessings surely had hearts brimming with beautiful wishes for the cub.

But the mermaid cub in their club had been all alone. The father had already died and the mother had passed away soon after the cub was born. Xie Tao therefore thought that the cub might not have received this blessing.

In the parents' absence, the other members of the family had gone so far as to abandon the cub on a distant planet. Regardless of how he looked at it, Xie Tao could not stop the nagging feeling that this was probably the case.

Originally, it had only been a passing thought when he learned that neither of the cub's parents was alive. However, the more Xie Tao thought about it, the more the notion took root in his heart.

"Papa?" Feeling that the youth was distracted, the mermaid cub swimming near the edge gently grabbed the youth's trousers. However the cub did not make a fuss and just quietly held onto his parent.
