Chapter 279 Chapter 279 (The Mermaid Baby Chapter Begins) For Parents...

[The small pool, the dark room, the so-called caring words, the family's sincere promises,

Everything is for his own purpose. He is too young to understand. He cannot tell what is right and what is wrong.

The world is so big, but there is no place for him. He should not have been born.

The sky was dark, as if it was torn apart.

The continent is divided by the ocean, with courtyards standing in the corners of the continent. The most sung hymn here is the Hymn of Light, which is a prayer dedicated to the God of Light.

The mainland residents mostly believe in the God of Light, but there are slight differences depending on the region.

The creatures in the ocean believe in the God of the Sea. It is rumored that there is also a god who possesses the power of destruction and lives in the abyss of the sea all year round, watched over by the God of the Sea and several other main gods.

Yes, there are myths and miracles everywhere.

Magic is prevalent, and those elegant gentlemen and ladies have great respect for magicians.

Among the various kingdoms, even though there are signs of the emergence of steam civilization, magicians still have the highest status.

The lamb arrived quickly with the little mermaid.

The oceans of this world are surging, and a sea storm is brewing.

The lamb has accumulated some energy in the realm of immortal cultivation.

Xiaoyang has recovered well in all aspects, but when he really looks at Xiao Milo's appearance and various data, he can't help but feel frightened.

He had been eating the lowest quality polluted food from that world for a long time, and all his internal organs were polluted and he was suffering from chronic failure.

His throat was no longer able to speak. Apart from the improper and polluted food, his long mermaid singing seemed to make the other party want to squeeze the little mermaid's value to the extreme.

As long as he was awake, he would record those sounds that soothed the soul, were called the sounds of nature, and were sought after by people in that world.

But he only existed in the public's vision as a voice. In fact, because he cried in pain and his eyesight was very poor, his tears turned into pearls and became a best-seller in that world.

It can be said that in the little cub's original world, he was taken away at a very young age, grew up in that family, and was locked up in a cramped space for a long time. It was only three to five years. After the other party had their own children, they did not think of treating him well, for fear that he would become disloyal when he grew up and would no longer be willing to be used by them. Therefore, they squeezed his value to the extreme at the age when he was most capable of being exploited.

The pink little mermaid fell into the sea, her little body curled up slightly, her pink eyelashes trembling as she trembled slightly in fear, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and then turned into pearls and sank into the sea.

The lamb tried hard to comfort the cub. Looking at the cub's broken body and then at the pearl that the cub had just pushed to it, the lamb felt particularly sad. It patched it here and there in a rage.

"Don't be afraid, little Milo! There's an ocean down there. Do you know the ocean? Mermaids live in the ocean."

Damn it, not only did that family keep the mermaid in a small bathtub, but the proportion of seawater they added was wrong. Milo's skin also had some abnormal reactions because of these reasons, and he became very sensitive.

So much so that the mermaid baby was already four and almost five years old, and had never seen the ocean.

Milo closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look at the waves below him.

The ocean was roaring, the wind and rain were beating on the face, and the mermaid baby was stiff and shivering.

He doesn't have the experience or common sense to communicate with others.

The lamb quickly matched several suitable parents——

Coming to this plane was also a temporary decision.

The loophole in this world is not very serious, it just leaves a very small gap. The dreamy fairy tale species like mermaids are not suitable for other worlds. The first choice is still the interstellar or magical world, and the most suitable one nearby is this world.

The world consciousness here is aloof but actually very gentle.

When he first noticed the lamb's request, he politely refused - although it was said to be very polite, it was not really that polite, he just expressed his disapproval very quickly and clearly.

This is a nearly perfect magic world in the early Middle Ages. Everyone is in balance with each other. The only problem is the competition for believers among the existing major gods, as well as the situation regarding the opposition between light and darkness.

But it’s not the same as imbalance.

The situation here is that it has not yet evolved completely and has not been completely coordinated.

Therefore, the world consciousness does not want any unknown external personnel to disrupt the development of the world.

But after seeing the curled up little ball being pulled by the lamb.

The little mermaid was still crying in her semi-conscious state after repair.

She cried like pearls, and her little body trembled.

And because there was no way to be born, I could only sob silently.

It's so pitiful.

The aloof world consciousness paused for a moment.

The lamb has already looked at a more extreme plane next to it. The various conditions in that plane are suitable for mermaids to survive, but - the laws of that world are different from the normal world, and the people in this world are also prone to extremes. It is an alternative fantasy world where beauty and voice are the strongest. Beauty and voice do meet the requirements. It is probably a direct transition from one extreme to another, but to be honest, it is not suitable for the little mermaid who is not good at communicating with the outside world.

But the world consciousness over there was very greedy for this little guy, and kept approaching this side, almost opening the door on its own initiative.

However, the world consciousness of this magical world did not hesitate for too long.

This world consciousness, like an elegant gentleman, slowly opened his arms.

"All right."

It held the lamb and little Milo in its arms, compassionate and graceful.

"Poor little fellow."

So the main problem facing the lambs now is to find suitable parents for the cubs.

There are many humanoid races in the ocean - including mermaids of course, but there are no pink mermaids here, and the various mermaid races are very xenophobic. Although they protect their cubs, it is still very different from the world they used to protect as long as the cubs of their own race. The lamb cannot gamble with the cub on this possibility, even if there is a 50% chance that the cub can survive well.

And then... there are mermaids, but they don't live in this sea area, and they are elusive. They don't care about the cubs.

There are also some other races, including the sea god who controls the ocean. The sea god has his own cubs, who are about the same age as the little mermaid, and he is quite spoiled to his cubs. He is not suitable either - after thinking about it, none of them are suitable.

Let’s take a look first——

The lamb thought so.

It flips through the data.

The little mermaid fell into the deep sea under the protection of the lamb.

The dark blue sea surface only raised a small splash of water, which did not attract anyone's attention at all.

After the little mermaid fell into the water, she spun around in the water due to inertia.

He reacted at this moment and opened his eyes and looked around in panic.

Where is this?

Just now - what happened just now?

The water flow was so fierce that he couldn't breathe.

Milo struggled and thought, his little pink tail flapping in the waves with little strength.

Moreover, he had never swam in such a vast ocean, and he had no idea how to exert better strength.

So it was like a pink little fish with its belly turned upside down, floating in the water, struggling in panic with its hands.

"Milo-chan, swim down there—"

The lamb said.

A small ball of light emerged from Milo's body, pulling the little mermaid to avoid the turbulent water above due to the wind and rain.

Milo held his breath and followed the lamb downstream, his little tail wagging back and forth, looking a little awkward.

At this moment, the water flow was calm and he could finally get oxygen normally from the water.

But Milo looked around - except for a few fish affected by the wind and waves, this was a place he had never seen before. The water was not clear because of the storm, it was pitch black, and he felt like he was suspended in the air.

And because his swimming skills were not very good, he kept falling deeper and deeper, and the fish around him began to look strange.

As if sensing his presence, a strange fish swam over slowly, scaring the pink mermaid so much that her fur stood on end. In panic, she swung her tail and rushed away.

"It's okay, it's okay, baby—"

The lamb is still comforting.

It’s really killing me——

The lamb was aware of the cub's physical condition.

All its points have been used up now, and the hidden injuries on Xiaomilo's body have only been healed. It still needs to be taken care of.

It also worked hard to restore Milo's throat.

But Milo seemed somewhat reluctant to speak now.

More importantly - because he has never seen the ocean, as a mermaid, Milo seems to have a fear of the deep sea and giants.

And the most suitable parent candidate nearby.

World Consciousness did make a recommendation.

The reason why the little mermaid is placed in this sea area is because it is the place closest to the abyss.

Little Milo was so panicked that he wanted to run away.

Before running away, he did not forget to turn back and try to get the lamb back.

Milo was anxious.

For Milo, who had been staying in a small room before, such a spacious place did not bring freedom but unknown fear.

The lamb is running out of energy.

It still tried hard to hold on - it wanted to see the cub find its parents safely.

The lamb continued, "It's okay, baby. The lamb will protect you. This is a new place. Here, you will find your family, friends, and lover. The lamb will accompany you on this journey. Let's continue down—continue down—"

Over there is the mermaid living area.

There are so many mermaids. If it keeps staring at them, it will always be able to find a suitable parent, right?

And at this moment.

In the abyss underground.

This is the habitat of the Dark Abyss Clan.

Most of them have to live in such places because of their own attributes. They are fierce, but they will not leave this area, so most of the time only their reputation for being fierce spreads.

Apart from the God of Destruction, all other creatures living here have various mutations or have grown organs that should not exist.

It is dark and quiet here all year round, and the fighting takes place elsewhere.

Of course, apart from its bad reputation, this place is also notoriously poor and has nothing.

There is no glorious continent entering the steam age with all kinds of magic flourishing, no ordinary ocean with the peace and resources of all races living together peacefully under the leadership of the sea god, only endless darkness and jagged rocks on the seabed.

The noise on the sea was too loud.

The figure lying on the stone in the darkness slowly opened his eyes.

A scarlet light appeared in the darkness.

He stood up, his dark fishtail scales, like those of a mermaid, were matte, with a few broken pieces. He had a strong aura, his pointed ears twitching slightly as he looked towards the sky.

Although the ocean is the territory of the sea god, since he came here and lived here for a long time, the authority of the ocean has naturally been divided into two parts, one part belongs to the sea god Podon, and the other part naturally belongs to the god of destruction Daryl.

Although Daryl only controls the deep seabed below the normal ocean, the sea god naturally avoids the area where he is, so the ocean above this area is also directly controlled by him.

Something fell.

Fell from the sea?

What could fall from the sea?

Or was it something dropped down by that bastard God of Light in the Cloud Kingdom?

Daryl thought so.

He closed his eyes and sang softly.

A retro and elegant voice sounded.

The little mermaid was still following the lamb's instructions and stumbling towards the mermaid territory.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding water flow changed, and the water seemed to form a square water prison, trapping the little mermaid inside.

A dark magic circle appeared under Milo.

Milo:?

lamb:?

The next moment.

Milo looked at the suddenly changing environment and the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of him.

A pair of light blue eyes widened.

Milo is a little pink mermaid.

The colors on his body are relatively light, the light pink with light blue eyes makes him look particularly dreamy and does not seem to exist in reality.

So in the dark abyss of the sea, only a little light was needed to make this little guy appear in front of Daryl like glowing light.

Daryl was also stunned.

The man who had been lying on the cold stone moved closer, because the little guy was too small, not to mention facing a huge god with mermaid characteristics.

Daryl's body, including his tail, was at least three meters long, and he could use his body well to encircle the little cub.

"What?"

He spoke in a low voice and gestured with his hand.

Is it this little thing that suddenly fell from mid-air?

The pink little cub seemed so tiny to him. To exaggerate a little, it was just a pink little thing the size of a palm.

The hair was pink, the tail was pink, the eyelashes were pink—and the eyes were the clear light blue Daryl had seen in the shallows.

Eyes full of clear stupidity.

Daryl even reached out and pinched the cub's face.

Is it a mermaid? I've never seen a species like this before.

The face was soft, softer than kelp, but the tail was a little thin, wasn't it? It looked different from the mermaid babies he had seen before.

The little mermaid, who was already terrified and had a fear of the deep sea and gigantic things, looked at the "huge" stranger in front of her.

His eyes instantly turned red, and when the other party came closer, Aowu bit the other party's nose, kicked his tail, and grabbed and pushed with his little hands, trying to stay away from this guy.

"hiss--"

Daryl let out a soft gasp.

The cub also has more things in his hands——

The cub froze in fear for a moment, then looked at what he was holding - a matte black scale.

He accidentally pulled it off this person—

No, or perhaps the scales on his body were too fragile, and the slightest movement of a cub like him easily tore them off.

If you accidentally bump into it, a scale will probably fall off.

Is he, is he sick?

Milo also has scales, which are pink and white with a pink glow, so when he pulled off the other's scales, Milo felt a phantom pain and his tail curled up in fear.

Yes, I'm sorry...

Milo's tears fell instantly.

It gurgled and fell, forming pearls of warm color, which slowly lay on the stones as the water flowed.

Daryl had just taken a look when he was bitten on the nose and his scales were pulled.

He frowned a little irritably.

"Okay, stop crying. Where did you get lost? I'll ask Bodong to take you back."

He thought that the old scoundrel in the sky had cast some conspiracy on his area.

I didn't expect it to be a pink mermaid.

And the lamb is looking at the relevant information.

It's comforting the cub.

"It's okay, cub, he won't hurt you, God of Destruction Daryl, although it's a surprise..."

But this is also what World Awareness recommends to parents.

It’s just that this parent seems a little too poor - can he afford to raise a cub?

The lamb was so anxious that he wanted to scratch his head.

Milo then realized - were they going to send him to that scary sea again?

No, no, no.

The little mermaid shook her head vigorously.

The little body turned and slipped under the rock, with only half of its head exposed, looking at Daryl cautiously.

Daryl paused for a moment.

His hand, which was casting the communication magic, paused.

"What? You still don't want to go back? Marine creatures like you should all be disgusted by the abyss."

Daryl casually changed his position and lay on the rock, and he didn't feel any discomfort.

It’s okay—

Little Milo is communicating with the lamb.

It's okay with him, it's fine here.

The lamb's energy was exhausted, and it finally fell asleep, but it still managed to keep a close eye on the cub.

Little Milo raised his eyes and looked at Daryl cautiously again.

I just don't know if the person in front of me is willing to give him a small place -

It doesn't need to be too big.

He, he can pay the rent.

His adoptive father had told him before that the rent was very expensive, so he asked him to give at least thirty perfect pearls a day.

At first he couldn't cry, no matter if he was beaten or scolded, or fed something to induce vomiting, or made to shed physiological tears, all had to be done. Now, in order to make himself feel more comfortable, he no longer needs those things.

"What? You still want to stay here?"

Daryl actually found it funny.

He looked at his 'temple'.

In fact, it is just a stone from the abyss of the sea.

"This place doesn't have the resources to support a mermaid."

Then, Daryl watched the little pink guy picking and choosing among the stones. He frowned, but still sent a communication magic to Bodong, closed his eyes, and was extremely annoyed.

Then the cub, which had not said a word since a while ago, approached him quietly, and its swimming posture was a little awkward.

He held the handful of pearls in his hand and placed them carefully in the palm of his hand that was spread out beside him.

What's the meaning?

Daryl opened his eyes, and his scarlet pupils swept sharply towards the cub.

The pink little guy's fish tail swung quickly, but because it was swung too fast, he couldn't swim well. He even turned around in the water because of excessive force, and then stumbled back to where he had just hidden, with only half of his little head exposed to look at him.

The little thing looked like it was about to cry again.

Daryl didn't even realize that he had frozen slightly, and his sharp gaze narrowed a little.

He looked away and looked at the pearl in his hand.

The tears of mermaids can turn into pearls, but not all mermaids' tears are like this, and they have to be special mermaids. This little guy is obviously not an ordinary fish and will not be easily abandoned by his parents. Most likely he got lost, or it was the work of that old evil guy in the sky.

But speaking of which—where on earth did all these tears come from?!

Also, is this a little mute? Why doesn't he say a word?

Daryl, feeling his palms burning, turned over again in annoyance.

Let’s go, let’s go.

It's really annoying.

He thought, glancing at the cub again.

Then I watched as the little mermaid cubs all shrank.

What is he doing?

Daryl looked at it from a different perspective.

Seeing the little mermaid clear the stones under his stone, she curled up her little body and squeezed herself into the gap. Contentedly, she found a stone pillow for herself and lay down on it.

Milo only needs a little bit of space like this——

Little Milo was quite satisfied with himself. This was much bigger than the small bathtub he had been in before, and it was icy cold all around. After his fear faded, there was someone who seemed more reliable by his side. The little mermaid finally felt comfortable in the ocean. He shrank himself very small, trying not to cause trouble to others. His pink little tail swayed gently, and the flow rate in the water changed slightly. The slight fluctuations seemed to fall directly on Daryl.

Daryl: ...

Daryl shrank back as well, trying not to pay any attention to the cub.

But in the end, he opened his eyes and crushed the stone at hand.

Daryl was used to sleeping on rocks, so he didn't feel anything.

At this moment, I think of the little pink guy curled up on the stone——

Holy shit, why the hell is it so shabby?!

Is he some kind of vicious god... Damn, it seems like he is.

Daryl's face darkened as he moved closer to the edge of the stone again.
