Reborn As Super Heiress

Just as Huo Sining was deliberately suppressing her cries, the two legs beneath her suddenly twisted rapidly, and before the others could react, those legs transformed into a fish tail with lightning speed.

The beautiful blue scales shimmered under the light, and the fish tail unconsciously flapped against the bed.

This was the first time Gu Xu witnessed his wife truly transforming into a Jiaoren. Although Huo Sining had previously confessed to him her secret of being a Jiaoren, his knowledge about them was limited to some documents he had researched on his own.

Perhaps due to a lack of familiarity or understanding on how to control her true form, even when alone, Huo Sining rarely revealed her fish tail.

Unlike Huo Sining, little ones like Qibao and Zhong Xiaoyao adored their fish tails, which may be related to the unique nature of Huo Sining’s origins.

After all, she didn’t awaken her Jiaoren bloodline from a young age; it was only after receiving the memory inheritance from Little Jiaoyu Weiyang that her human lineage gradually diluted, eventually transforming her into a pureblooded Jiaoren.

Thus, she was generally unaccustomed to turning into a mermaid, and with the function of the Azure Pearl, she had no need to transform to move in water.

Now seeing her tail appear without her awareness, Huo Sining was taken aback and instinctively looked towards Gu Xu.

Gu Xu was equally astonished, staring fixedly at his wife’s fish tail, yet his gaze held genuine amazement rather than fear or repulsion.

This was a moment more wondrous than any mermaid movie he’d ever seen, for the fish tail before him was so beautiful, even knowing the oddity of the situation, Gu Xu was irresistibly captivated by this mermaid.

"So beautiful!"

This was Gu Xu’s first impression of the fish tail.

Then, realizing this beautiful tail belonged to his wife, and his wife belonged entirely to him, Gu Xu’s heart began to race uncontrollably.

The wife he, Gu Xu, found was indeed one of a kind in this world!

However, his daze and joy did not last long because in the next second, Huo Sining’s fish tail abruptly arched up.

Then, before anyone was prepared, a large blue egg, as big as a volleyball, rolled out from beneath her, tumbled a few times on the bed, and ended up directly in Gu Xu’s arms.

Gu Xu was utterly startled.

Yue Shuwen and Zhong Xiaoyao beside him were also dumbfounded.

No one had anticipated that Jiaoren laying eggs would progress so swiftly, a process completely different from human childbirth.

After the egg rolled out, Huo Sining exhaled heavily, as if completing a significant task.

However, as the father of this egg, Mr. Gu was at a loss, finding the situation too strange. He had imagined various scenarios of becoming a father, from being overwhelmed with excitement to a state of chaotic nervousness and blissful joy, but he never envisioned such bewilderment, unable to even know where to place his hands.

This egg looked just like Niuniu’s before hatching, but since it had just been birthed from Huo Sining, it retained some warmth.

Holding this little creature felt like cradling a bundle of flesh.

At this moment, he could finally grasp what the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Li Jing, felt upon seeing his son Nezha being born.

Seeing Gu Xu’s cautious demeanor, Huo Sining couldn’t help but laugh. Maybe it was because she was there during Niuniu’s hatching, so after seeing this one’s birth, she wasn’t as shocked.

"Back then, Niuniu also crawled out from such a large egg. If I hadn’t taken her to secretly consume electricity, she’d probably still be asleep in the egg now."

Without experiencing the pains of childbirth, Huo Sining’s energy quickly recovered, and with Aura Protection, her complexion returned to normal soon. If Gu Xu weren’t still holding that egg, Yue Shuwen and the others would surely doubt whether the tense situation earlier was merely an illusion.

The fish tail disappeared as quickly as it had come. Shortly after the egg rolled out, her legs reappeared, and her belly wasn’t as round as before, resembling that of a six-month pregnant woman.

Huo Sining was worried whether the egg would affect the humanoid fetus also growing inside her, but after checking with Spiritual Energy, she found her little daughter was curled up, sleeping soundly without any impact, completely unaware that another tenant in the room had vanished.

After resting on the bed for a while, Huo Sining felt her strength slowly returning, and she sat up slowly.

Seeing Huo Sining move, Gu Xu immediately became nervous, quickly handing the egg to Yue Shuwen and rushing to support his wife, asking worriedly:

"Honey, do you... hurt? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Sining paused, pondered for a moment, and said: "Do you think a hen feels pain laying an egg?"

Gu Xu’s mouth twitched, and his forehead broke out in lines.

This couldn’t be a more fitting analogy!

Meanwhile, Yue Shuwen and Zhong Xiaoyao realized all their preparations had likely been unnecessary this time.

They had previously worried that Huo Sining giving birth might cause significant disturbances, so to prevent humans from discovering their secret, Gu Xu had specially prepared a basement, lined the walls with thick sound-proof cotton, and moved all necessary medical equipment into the room.

But clearly, they hadn’t anticipated that Jiaoren egg-laying was different from human labor. From the moment Huo Sining sensed the birth approaching to Blue Fatty being born, the process took less than half an hour.

Moreover, there were no blood, no umbilical cords, no amniotic fluid—none of the usual signs appeared.

This made everyone realize they had worried for nothing all those days.

Even so, Gu Xu felt a sense of relief, thankful he had prepared the delivery room in advance and sent away outsiders beforehand; otherwise, his wife’s beautiful fish tail would have been exposed.
