Osiris: ...

The little fish was so tiny, with tiny teeth, that it couldn't possibly cause him any real harm. But at least the little guy put in all his strength to suckle, leaving a ring of teeth marks on his dad's chest.

That's very improper.

Osiris initially considered wearing clothes, but in the end, he could only temporarily cover up with his hair. He wanted to give the cub a mark, but seeing the cub's swollen face, he softened.

The little guy was held down by the doctor, one hand on his head and the other on his tail, obediently pressed onto the table. His short, thin body was stretched straight, and then the doctor couldn't help but laugh.

Why is your belly so bulging?

"So soft, and trying to hide... Baby, you're a chubby little fish."

"Is it a seal that turned into a fish fry? Otherwise, how could it be so round?"

After the dentist pulled its teeth, the cub quickly climbed back onto its father, whimpering anxiously.

He's not a fat seal!

No, he's Dad's fish fry!!!

Osiris saw that the little seedling was very angry, its fur standing on end, and immediately glared coldly at everyone present who were making fun of the cub.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Then apologize to the cub.

After finally calming the child down, someone handed over a mirror. The little fish saw its swollen cheek and burst into tears again, feeling ugly.

He's so ugly, how can he prove he's his father's child?!

Moreover, everyone around Qianyuan is good-looking, and his father and brothers are all great beauties. Even at such a young age, the child has already become desensitized to handsome men and beautiful women. This has also led to the child having a picky aesthetic sense since childhood. He has always been used to being shiny and dazzling, and it has been a long time since he has seen him looking so disheveled.

The child looked at his handsome mermaid father again and almost fainted from crying.

Osiris had no idea where his temper came from, and he couldn't really upset the little fish, so he tried to appease them and then turned his attention back to the humans.

There's no way to make the little guy better immediately, but there are ways to lessen the impact of his adjustment...

After a while, the research team members, whose faces had been painted into all sorts of turtles and tortoises, returned.

The cub had already cried a mountain of tiny pearls, but when it saw Shi Wuyai's face, it couldn't help but break down.

Even though the little fish fry had a swollen face, it was still so cute when it smiled, but they didn't dare to touch it anymore. They could only keep a bitter and resentful look on their faces and watch the little fish fry and its father leave.

Osiris is now adept at taking out a box to hold the little pearls that his cries out for the cub.

The boy thought his father was going to take away his pearls, so he didn't object. He just watched with red eyes, then obediently lay on his father's chest, waiting to go into the water.

But just as he opened his mouth to call out "Dad," the child forgot about his leaky teeth. Osiris happened to be pulling the child into the water, and the rushing water once again choked the cub.

Osiris was still wondering why his son, who usually whined and complained of discomfort and needed comforting from his father after a bath, was so quiet today.

Could it be because she was angry for a while and has fallen asleep now?

Osiris did not disturb him, but held the little one in his heart and returned to the burial ground.

Just then, they encountered a mermaid who came to visit, carrying large and small bags, like relatives visiting their children during the Lunar New Year.

Merfolk: Who knew this was originally their king?!

It was because their ancestors wanted to take care of their children that they all moved the merfolk to the Burial Grounds, practically bringing the entire Atlantis with them.

The only thing that couldn't be moved was the throne, so a group of people were left there to guard it and wipe the dust off it from time to time...

They clearly have a king...

Gobert and several other nobles shed a few bitter tears, but when they were about to visit, they all forced a smile.

"Is the baby sleeping?"

When Osiris heard their questions, he no longer adopted his previous cold demeanor.

Osiris sometimes wanted to show off his success in raising his children, but he couldn't show them off to humans or other merfolk kings because they might steal his offspring. So he could only show them off to Gobert and his group.

Gobert and his team couldn't compete with him, so they had to flatter him.

If they were on land, the first thing Osiris would probably do upon getting his phone is create a family group chat and share photos of his baby every day, finally not having to post them only to himself.

It's just that the merfolk who are being flaunted suffer...

Like now, they say they can see the baby, but they only peek out with their heads out a little distance:

"Very good, very good. Has the king never cried at night? He's much more well-behaved than the other merfolk cubs. He doesn't misbehave, nor does he pretend to be asleep and sneak out to play..."

Gobert had only finished praising the baby in the bubble when he saw it flip over with the jolt, revealing its eyes, which were already swollen like mosquito coils.

Gobert: ...

He was clearly still a mermaid in his prime, yet he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, asking tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, are you sure... the child is asleep, and not unconscious..."

Osiris:

Osiris picked up the now-cold fry and rushed back to the human research base to try and save them.

Finally, even the human doctors couldn't help but advise:

“We absolutely have to teach the child to swim. Otherwise, we might as well not go to the deep sea at all. He can stay with us. We guarantee him the best and safest environment. When he grows up, he can even go directly to a research institute and get a permanent position.”

It can be said that this is a very sincere invitation.

After all, Osiris knew that having a formal position was the lifelong desire of the people here.

But mermaids cannot leave the sea.

Osiris had already made up his mind. This time, he didn't go into the water immediately, but instead brought his cub to the beach.

When the child slowly woke up, he saw his father catching cat's-eye snails for him on the beach.

The little boy patted the fish's tail, sat up, and his father used his tail to encircle the little crabs, seashells, and snails in front of him.

The cub seemed to have forgotten about choking on water during the tooth extraction. He happily ran to play with his new playmates. But as a fry that was not even as long as his father's palm, he soon realized that he was playing with the toys or the toys were playing with him.

The little fish's tail was clamped tightly by a crab. Normally, an adult fish's tail is sharp enough to cut through ten crabs, but for a juvenile, its tail is more delicate than a flower bud.

She was a little mermaid who was more delicate than others.

As Osiris casually roasted and fed the crab to the cub, he thought that if the cub really didn't want to go into the water, then he would have no choice but to stay on land with it.

Even if they are the only two unique mermaids in the world, it doesn't matter, since only the father is looking after the cubs. It won't be strange for the two of them to be together.
