However, he would respect Qianyuan's wishes, and then secretly scoop him up and hold him after Qianyuan fell asleep.

The little guy was having a nightmare, his brow furrowed as he slept, looking quite uncomfortable.

But she wasn't scared when she was in her father's arms, and she slept soundly against his arm.

He's still clearly his precious child.

Osiris sighed inwardly.

He hummed a lullaby to the child in his arms, thinking that there was nothing he, the first Merman King, couldn't do. Even raising a cub was a feat he had accomplished, so naturally he would have a way to find the child's lost soul, even if the child suffered from amnesia.

Osiris wouldn't give up because of Qianyuan's attitude. He planned to continue trying to raise the humanoid cub tomorrow, becoming more determined with each setback.

His children clearly still remember his embrace, so they certainly won't forget him easily.

But when Osiris woke up the next day, he found a table full of cooked dishes, which consisted of a whole week's worth of meat from the refrigerator.

Qianyuan wrote on a sticky note that all of it should be given to Osiris, and that he should make sure he eats his fill.

He would be out for a day and would return in the evening.

Osiris: ...

Osiris stopped pretending.

If we keep going like this, the child will get lost.

Osiris completely abandoned his pride and dignity, and sent a message in the group, listing all of Qian Yuan's behaviors that had rejected her father since last night.

Shi Wuyai and the others not only saw Osiris's confusion, but also felt the resentment leaping off the screen.

The mermaid king, who had been widowed for thousands of years, finally found a clingy and adorable little fish. He cherished it so much that he was afraid of dropping it or melting it in his mouth. But now the little fish he was holding was about to fly away. This was going to drive the already widowed mermaid king completely mad.

Upon realizing this, Shi Wuyai's expression immediately changed, and he sounded the alarm.

"Emergency situation! Top-level alien berserk alert! Activate contingency plans immediately!! All team members, prepare for deployment!!"
