Three days have passed since Long Xun reverted to a child at the crucial moment and parted ways with Yin Chen on bad terms. Because he went to the Mystic Bar, Yin Chen, after calming down from his burning desire and anger, sent a long-distance message to Wen Mi, informing her that Long Xun had misbehaved and that he had gone to the Mystic Bar.

Then, in the visual remote communication, Yin Chen and Long Xun looked at the miniature mermaid pointing at the substitute doll still sitting in her house and calmly asked, "What is this thing?"

Long Xun told her, "A substitute doll."

You can tell what it is just from the name.

The fan chuckled and disappeared from the camera's view. When she reappeared, she was holding a knife in both hands and swung it forcefully at the stand-in puppet.

The substitute doll's head just popped off...

Hearing the screams coming from the other side, Long Xun silently canceled the pet summon and put Milk Tea back into the pet slot. Meanwhile, Wen Mi wielded his knife with lightning speed, almost turning the substitute puppet into dust.

Even though the miniature mermaid didn't say a word, Yin Chen and Long Xun could still feel its surging anger.

Only after the fans had finished venting did he return to the camera, once again flashing that adorable smile, and said somewhat coldly, "Have fun."

Without waiting for either of them to reply, she cut off the connection.

After a long silence between Yin Chen and Long Xun, Yin Chen slowly spoke, "Xun, you should say something."

“…I should say something.” Long Xun sighed softly.

He was used to being alone, ignoring other living beings, and did not feel that other living beings needed to tell him their whereabouts, nor did he think that he needed to tell other beings where he was.

So even though Yin Chen asked the fans to look after him, he still casually set up a stand-in puppet and left.

A mistake is a mistake, and Long Xun wouldn't be so afraid to admit it.

After dialing the mirage pearl again, Long Xun and Yin Chen apologized sincerely. The mirage chuckled, said "I forgive you," and then ended the call again.

...In reality, I never forgave him at all.

But it seems that apologizing won't make any difference.

Neither Long Xun nor Yin Chen really understood girls' feelings, so since the fan had said they would forgive them, they really put the matter aside.

Since Long Xun had already been to the bar, Yin Chen decided to let him stay at Yin Chen's staff dormitory.

Yin Chen is a fish that cannot lay a hand on a child. Even though he knows that the round little body contains a silent adult soul, if Yin Chen has the slightest bad thought, he will feel like an unforgivable piece of trash and a pervert when he meets those indifferent golden vertical pupils!

So over the past few days, everyone at the bar has inexplicably noticed that Yin Chen would stare at Baozi Longxun for a while, and then start scratching and banging his head against the wall in various ways, seemingly having a seizure.

The other mermaids didn't find it strange that Long Xun had turned into a child. The mermaid world was vast and boundless, and it wasn't surprising to see strange abilities appear there.

However, after careful consideration, Yin Chen still asked Long Xun about his real age. Long Xun recalled that he, a complete shut-in, started transmigrating at the age of nineteen. He then spent eleven years in the first world, making him thirty years old. He spent one year in Lu Xiaofeng's world and two years in the apocalypse, making him thirty-three years old in total.

"So you really weren't an adult?!"

Yin Chen felt a mix of emotions. After seeing Long Xun's adult form, he thought that his child body was a disguise, because the guy looked completely natural as an adult!

So it really was just a child! So the child was the true form!

So I really am a pedophile!

Yin Chen said that he was completely distraught.

Long Xun, with his chubby face expressionless, silently watched Yin Chen, who was still disheveled in the wind, and remained silent.

Age is meaningless to Long Xun; the length of his life cannot be measured by time. If one were to truly calculate it, only a negligible segment of his life could be used as a marker.

Yin Chen covered his forehead and thought for a long time before indicating that he needed to go and calm down.

Lan Qi wiped the table and listened to Yin Chen's distressed sighs, such as "A-Xun really isn't an adult yet," and casually said, "That little guy may not be an adult, but doesn't he understand everything he should?"

Mermaids have such long lifespans that whether they reach adulthood or not only relates to reproduction, but also to whether they form a mate. There are plenty of little mermaids in the world who have lived for decades and then start dating.

Kasai sipped his juice, raised his eyelids upon hearing this, and said, "Ah Chen has a bit more conscience than you."

"Did I say something wrong? That Long Xun really doesn't look like a child at all. If A-Chen wants to take action, I'd be more than support him. Anyway, A-Chen is still young; he can be raised for over a hundred years and then eaten," Lan Qi said with a smile.

The mermaids sitting at the bar counter turned their heads to look at the three new mermaids who had just checked into the Mystic Bar.

Jiu Xiao was pestering Jiu Li, showering him with concern and running around in circles. The bar owner, Jiu Li, had gone from being impatient to almost collapsing. He must have regretted forgiving Jiu Xiao so quickly.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the aloof Dongjun and the expressionless Baozi Longxun were sitting properly on a bubble sofa, with several plates of snacks in front of them.

The aloof and arrogant volcanic mermaid king was bowing his head at this moment, opening the crispy shells (a snack that mermaid cubs love to eat) one by one and placing them in front of Long Xun, while Long Xun was still struggling with a piece of coral.
