Chapter 99

Xingnuo looked at the little mermaids' wet and sparkling eyes, and distributed the pile of beautiful crystals in his arms to them.

The little mermaid's face seemed full of disbelief. She swam around Xingnuo several times and asked repeatedly:

"Is it for us?"

"Really give it to me?! The gem is so beautiful!"

Seeing Xingnuo nodding continuously and holding the gems with his little hands to pass them to them, the little mermaids whimpered and almost cried.

"Thank you!"

"I declare that you are my best friend from now on!"

The little octopus clinging to Xingnuo's head shook its tentacles and sprayed out a few bubbles of water when it saw this.

His brother is just too soft-hearted.

How can there be any reason to send gems away?

As the little octopus's body became smaller, its behavior and thinking also became childish.

It itself couldn't explain why it became smaller. After all, the S+ level prop stone given to Xingnuo was the first time that Shen Baizhou used it.

Thinking of this, the little octopus couldn't help but have a guilty look on his face.

Fortunately, Shen Yan and Shen Wen didn't see it, otherwise the little octopus would definitely be cut into a plate of takoyaki.

Xingnuo didn’t need so many sparkling gems, so after giving away half of them, she held the remaining gems and swam back with the other mermaids.

Leah had already prepared dinner and was waiting for the little mermaid to come back from playing outside.

Seeing that everyone was holding a small pile of stones in their arms, Leah smiled unchanged and walked up to give them praise as usual.

"You little guys found so many gems? That's amazing."

The little red mermaid raised her face and pointed at Xingnuo, her eyes shining brightly.

"The little golden mermaid gave them to us! He must have loved me the most, because he gave me all the purple gems!"

The little blue mermaid next to her jumped out immediately, holding up the pink gem in her hand, with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"You're talking nonsense, he obviously likes me the most!"

Seeing that the two little mermaids were about to quarrel again, Leah skillfully separated them and stuffed a piece of fish into each of their mouths.

"Okay, go put the gem down and come back for dinner!"

The little mermaids then obediently returned to their bedroom and placed the gems on their own shell beds.

Xingnuo also followed the crowd and put down the gem. When he went back, he saw Leah handing him a plate of Xueying's fish fillets. Xingnuo took it in his hand and looked at it for a long time without eating it.

Seeing Leah go to take care of other little mermaids, Xingnuo thought of the little octopus on his head, raised his hand, and gently poked its tentacles.

"Little octopus, little octopus, would you like to have some fish?"

Mermaids are omnivores. In addition to the fish fillets, there were a few fruits that looked like oranges on the small plate.

Xingnuo felt that he could be full after eating two fruits and he really couldn't eat the raw fish.

Seeing this, the little octopus lowered its tentacles and gently rolled up most of the fish fillet.

Seeing that the little octopus had eaten the fish obediently, Xingnuo picked up an orange fruit and began to chew it seriously.

Leia paid special attention to the new little mermaid, and frowned when she saw him feeding fish fillets to the little pet above her head.

"I can prepare some extra food for your little pet, little mermaid, but you can't let yourself starve."

Xingnuo kept a small octopus as a pet. Leah heard about it from other mermaids.

Seeing that Xingnuo was so kind to the little octopus and even ate the fresh and sweet fish meat first, Leah couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Xingnuo didn't understand what Leah said, but judging from her expression, she seemed to be really asking about the little octopus.

Looking up, Xingnuo explained obediently:

"Sister Mermaid, this is the little octopus I picked up. It stayed on top of my head and wouldn't leave. But it can understand what I say."

Seeing the two mermaids talking to each other, the little octopus shook its tentacles a few times and said:

"The ugly red mermaid said, 'You can eat it yourself, don't feed it to me.' She is really unpopular with fish."

There was a strong personal emotion mixed in the little octopus's words. He snorted and stared at Leah in front of him with his small black eyes.

Xingnuo uttered an "oh" and his eyes suddenly widened even wider.

"Little octopus! Not only can you understand what I say, you can also understand what the mermaids say!"

The little octopus had lived in the seabed for hundreds of years, and its nest was not far from the mermaids, so it could naturally understand.

It shook its tentacles and hummed.

"I understand."

Xingnuo couldn't help but get excited for a moment, his eyes shining with a bright light, and he poked the little octopus's tentacle hanging on the side of his cheek.

"Little Octopus, can you help me ask the mermaids how to get back to Rongcheng?"

The little octopus said before that there are no witches in the sea. Maybe if he returns to land, he can find a way to grow legs!

Upon hearing this, the little octopus froze its swaying tentacles, curled itself up into a ball, and said slowly:

“I can understand it, but I can’t speak it.”

Mermaid language is a very complex sound, more like a wonderful song, which is difficult for non-mermaid species to pronounce.

Xingnuo's excited expression gradually turned into confusion. He tilted his head, blinked, and then sighed.

"Oh well."

When Leah saw Xingnuo talking to the little octopus above her head, she didn't think that the two could communicate. She just thought that Xingnuo was young and could probably chat with any fish.

Just like a little dolphin that Hongyan raised before, it clearly couldn’t speak the same language, but it insisted that it could understand.

As a result, the little dolphin went hungry three times a day. Finally, it couldn't stand it anymore and swam away secretly.

But the little mermaid has not yet passed the stage of innocence and childishness, so there is nothing wrong with keeping a childlike heart.

Leah placed another plate of fish in front of Xingnuo, pointed at it, gestured to him and said:

"Let the little octopus eat this dish, and keep the sashimi for yourself. Don't go hungry."

The little mermaid has to eat very well in order to obtain some weak energy and continuously improve her own strength.

The little octopus lazily told Xing Nolia what she meant.

After listening to this, Xingnuo nodded.

"But I don't like meat."

And the fish was still raw.

In the end, Xingnuo, who was a picky eater, could only pretend that he still didn't understand, holding a few orange-yellow fruits and nibbling them in small bites.

Leah saw the mermaid in front of her eating the fruit obediently, with soft white skin and dark eyes, and she was touched by its cuteness for a moment.

But then, she discovered that the little mermaid in front of her was particularly fond of this little octopus!

He actually gave both plates of fish to the little octopus!

I just nibbled a few small fruits pitifully!

Leah couldn't help feeling a little angry, but she was afraid of scaring the little mermaid, so she had to suppress it and wait until night.

The night under the sea is illuminated by beautiful crystal beads.

There is also a sparkling crystal bead hanging on Xingnuo's shell bed.

Leia brought a bunch of mermaid babies to the bedroom and clapped her hands, asking them to lie down and sleep.

Xingnuo glanced at the other little mermaids, then lay down a little bit slower, gently swinging his tail, still thinking about how to get back.

After hearing Leah's familiar and beautiful singing, Xingnuo's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he finally fell asleep on the small bed.

Leia looked around and made sure that the little mermaids were all sleeping well.

Turning her gaze, Leah met the eyes of the little octopus lying motionless on the head of Xingnuo's bed.

There was no emotion in the little octopus's black eyes. It just looked at him without blinking, and even its tentacles stopped moving.

Leah walked over, put her hands on her hips, and picked up the little octopus.

She didn't say anything, for fear of disturbing the little mermaids, and she took the little octopus out quietly.

The little octopus that steals the mermaid’s food is not suitable to be the mermaid’s pet!

As a result, as soon as she walked outside, Leah felt a pain in her neck, and the next second, she fell to the ground.

The little octopus retracted its tentacles, without even looking at Leah, and slowly swam back to Xingnuo's bedside.

Seeing that Xingnuo's belly was exposed, the little octopus used its little tentacles to shake off the gauze quilt next to it and covered Xingnuo tightly.

The sea water was still a little cold at night, so his brother had to cover himself well to avoid catching a cold.

The night under the sea is calm and peaceful.

On the sea not far from the mermaid tribe, a huge cruise ship was slowly sailing towards them.

On the deck, several monsters with fish heads and human bodies bared their sharp teeth and pounced fiercely at the human players in front of them.

The players were all injured, but their special powers had not been used up and their props could save their lives, so they were able to hold out against the monsters for a while.

"These monsters are crazy!"

"Monsters will attack players at night. If this continues, we won't survive for seven days!"

The human players were fighting hard on the deck, with the dark sea water with moonlight floating in the background behind them.

It was not until the sunrise broke through the sky and cast countless golden rays of light on the sea that the monsters turned back into human form and looked at the human players with fake smiles.

"Hurry up and don't stand on the deck. It's too dangerous. If you accidentally fall into the sea and get hit by the octopus, it will be terrible."

The human player tried hard to analyze useful information from the monsters' words, climbed up from the deck, and returned to the bedroom on the ship to rest.

At the same time, the little mermaids were taken by Leah to the mermaid training ground and started their morning classes.

Mermaids are as powerful as the monsters on land. Unlike the savage monsters on land, they like to devour the flesh and blood of their fellow monsters to strengthen themselves.

Mermaids prefer continuous training, feeling their own strength improving bit by bit.

Xingnuo still had a little white octopus on his head and stood in the middle of a row of mermaids.

He is short and looks concave.

The one who came to the class was the elder of the mermaid tribe. He looked at the new little mermaid and couldn't help but laugh twice.

"Don't be nervous, little mermaid. The lessons we have today are all very basic."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the extremely conspicuous little octopus above Xingnuo's head.

The mermaid elder looked at the transparent white octopus with a serious look, and inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.

Finally, he said, "You are not allowed to bring pets to class."
