He hadn’t expected his father to notice Didi so quickly. He should have taken the cubs farther away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...He’s mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finch knew that regardless of whose cub it was, his father would never allow a nine-tailed fox’s bloodline to remain outside the clan. It was better to admit the truth—there might still be a chance to keep the cub here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" taru’s face lit up with delight. \"So he’s my grandson?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Finch replied, frowning slightly. \"But don’t get any ideas. Nina would never agree to you taking Didi away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His name is Didi?\" Taru said, unfazed. \"The name’s a bit casual—but it’ll do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What truly mattered was that he already had a grandson. \"And that Nina you mentioned—is she the cub’s mother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Finch said. \"She’s their mother. We’re doing well here. We like living here. Please don’t disturb us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Taru understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that was why his foolish son refused to return—he already had a female he cared about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taru studied Finch’s forehead carefully. If he already had a cub, why was there no mating mark?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression darkened. \"Why haven’t you bonded with her yet? Don’t tell me you’re only her guardian beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I’m not,\" Finch said, lowering his head in embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taru’s face grew even darker. \"You’re not even her guardian beast? Don’t tell me you’re living here as her lover without status! Are you trying to shame the entire Nine-Tailed Fox clan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aloverwas a male who followed a female without any formal position. At least a guardian beast had half a title—but a lover had none at all, no standing in the household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox clan had always been admired for their beauty. Females usually welcomed them eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his son hadn’t even secured the position of guardian beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What disgrace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taru couldn’t help wondering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My son isn’t bad-looking. His strength far surpasses that of most males. How could that female not want him? Are her standards really that high?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fox clan males nearby were equally stunned. Their young lord had been extremely popular in Jade Fox City—countless females had pursued him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet here... he wasn’t even accepted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not what you think,\" Finch said quickly. \"I’m still pursuing Nina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he wished he could even become her lover—but he hadn’t managed that either. He hadn’t even held her hand yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it made him feel even more miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re utterly useless,\" Taru said bluntly. \"You can’t even win over a single female.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll speak to her myself. Once she learns your identity, she certainly won’t reject you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taru believed no female would refuse a male with both power and background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I’ll invite her and the cub to move to Jade Fox City,\" he continued. \"You can live comfortably in the city instead of this poor wasteland.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t even met the female yet—but since his son cared about her enough to follow her without status, he was willing to overlook her origins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he had planned to arrange a noble bride of perfect status for Finch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But things had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t say anything reckless to Nina,\" Finch said urgently, frowning. \"Our matters are ours to handle. Don’t interfere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his father scared Nina away, who would he cry to then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You handle it yourselves?\" Taru scoffed. \"You haven’t even become her guardian beast, and you still want to handle it yourself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head in exasperation. \"I’ll go speak to her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in his life, he truly felt his son was hopelessly foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring Finch’s attempts to stop him, Taru strode straight toward the stone houses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at the entrance, Taru called out, \"Which one of you is his female?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned the courtyard. All he saw were males... and two cubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his eyes widened in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dragon cub, a snake cub, and now a nine-tailed fox cub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all incredibly rare bloodlines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such species struggled greatly to reproduce. Taru himself had only managed to father a single cub—Finch—after so many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this small, simple tribe had produced so many rare cubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unbelievable. \"Father, stop meddling. Let’s go!\" Finch tried to drag him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go? Why would I leave?\" Taru said indignantly. \"I haven’t even held my grandson yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He searched eagerly for the little fox. Where had his grandson gone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, inside the house, Didi was chasing Yinny around in playful circles while Nina braided Mimi’s beautiful soft hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle of the chase, Didi ran straight out of the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taru’s eyes lit up instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My grandson!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurried over and crouched down, spreading his arms warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come here, Didi. I’m your grandfather. Let Grandpa hold you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didi skidded to a sudden halt when he saw the unfamiliar beastman in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startled, he backed up a few steps—then turned and ran back inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dove into Nina’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother! There’s a strange old man outside!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Taru didn’t look old at all—but since he had called himself \"grandfather,\" that’s what Didi assumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina looked puzzled. \"A strange old man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carried the cubs outside and quickly spotted Taru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the ’strange old man’ you meant?\" she asked Didi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yinny and Mimi blinked curiously at him. Linny and Momo also flew over when they saw Nina come out, settling on her shoulders and nuzzling her affectionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange old man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taru almost choked. He was the cub’s actual grandfather!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his gaze shifted to Nina—and he froze in stunned admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this was Didi’s mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was extraordinarily beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder his foolish son had fallen for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he looked at the cubs in her arms, his pupils trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white tiger. A mermaid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the mermaid cub was even a female—an incredibly rare treasure among merfolk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why were all these cubs so attached to the same female?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you Didi’s mother?\" Taru asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am,\" Nina replied with a polite smile. \"And you are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m Finch’s father—Didi’s grandfather.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice to meet you,\" Nina said. \"Yes, I’m Didi’s mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So this was Finch’s father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came today to discuss Finch and Didi,\" Taru said bluntly. \"I’d like to bring you both to Jade Fox City. And I hope you and Finch will bond soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone grew stern. \"You can’t let him stay by your side without status.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina’s brows drew together slightly. \"I have no intention of going to Jade Fox City. As for Finch—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish, Finch hurried forward. \"Father, stop talking. This is between Nina and me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taru pushed him aside. Hearing Nina refuse Jade Fox City, his attitude hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must come. The bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan cannot remain outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured toward Finch. \"You may not know his identity. He’s the Young City Lord of Jade Fox City—its future ruler.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And?\" Nina replied coolly. \"I can live wherever I want. It’s not for outsiders to decide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taru’s tone had irritated her, and her expression turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly,\" a voice said from nearby. \"If Nina wishes to stay here, then here she stays. The City Lord of Jade Fox City seems to be overstepping his authority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kith stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taru looked startled. \"The City Lord of White Tiger City? What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he remembered—Kith had come earlier to help Finch search for the Spirit Pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I appreciate your help regarding the Spirit Pearl,\" Taru said. \"But this matter does not concern you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nina is my female,\" Kith replied calmly. \"Naturally, I stand behind her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He secretly glanced at Nina. When she didn’t refute him, joy flickered across his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s your female?\" Taru exclaimed. His gaze shifted to the white tiger cub. \"Then that little white tiger is your cub?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Kith said softly. \"Yinny is Nina’s and my cub.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What... how is that possible?\" Taru was completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two cubs looked about the same age. How could a single female have two cubs born around the same time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And there are more,\" Kith added calmly, delivering another shock. \"The others are Nina’s cubs as well. I doubt you have the ability to take them away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taru stood frozen, utterly dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>",1428,"2026-06-03T08:29:56.682Z","2026-06-03T08:30:03.515Z",1,"novelbin.me","088683fa800f92f66eb553316146a3525f5fe90a21f032e1ca7342811648a62f","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-147","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-145",299,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-cover.jpg"]
