Wait, something's not right.

Zhao Xi looked Lin Che up and down in confusion: "So your original form is a toad."

Lin Che didn't even lift his eyelids: "You're the toad."

Zhao Xi thought, "I'm a human, the only possibility is that you're a toad!"

Lin Che: "I am the Water God, and it is possible for me to give birth to all aquatic creatures."

"Croak!" The little toad jumped down from the wall, bounced a few times, and landed on the bed, kicking Lin Che with its toad legs indignantly.

It's even worse than fancy but ineffective martial arts.

Zhao Xi looked at them, and the stories of Jingwei filling the sea and Yu Gong moving mountains immediately came to mind.

In the future, a little toad kicking Lin Che should be added to the list of idioms and allusions.

"Wasn't she supposed to be a little mermaid? Did you turn our child into a toad?"

"Caw!" Mother is indeed exceptionally clever!

Zhao Xi tried to grab Lin Che's collar and shook him violently, bursting into tears: "Give me back my baby! I don't want an ugly toad, I want a mermaid!"

The little mermaid burst into tears, croaking and squealing incessantly, her cheeks puffing out like two balls in anger.

It's all Father God's fault! Her mother disliked her!

Lin Che said that mermaids need to live in water, and they will grow ugly if they stay away from water for a long time. For the sake of the future, he temporarily transformed into a toad, a creature that can live in both water and on land, so that he could give his daughter a bright future.

The reason it doesn't turn into a little turtle is because turtles crawl too slowly.

Zhao Xi thought he should summon the Prime Minister and have him demonstrate in front of Lin Che just how fast a tortoise can crawl. The cowardly Prime Minister, after being glared at by Lin Che, managed to take a single step the time it takes to brew a cup of tea.

"Fine, a toad is fine, it's kind of cute."

In the end, Zhao Xi gave in, hugged the little toad in her arms, and tenderly rubbed her head with her fingers.

The little mermaid croaked pitifully and wiped her tears with her toad arm.

Zhao Xi thought, "There are a lot of mosquitoes by the water, so I might as well eat some mosquitoes to replenish my energy."

Little Mermaid: ?

Eek~

She wanted to tell her mother the secret of her father.

She doesn't want to eat mosquitoes anymore!
