Chapter 28 Chapter 28

The doctor chased Mu Mu out of the clinic: "I turned around to get a snack, why did you run away...Yin, Professor Yin?"

She saw Professor Yin's miserable state, exclaimed, and found a splint to fix his wrist:

"What happened?"

"I..."

"Professor Yin was too careless, and hurt his wrist when he fell to the ground."

Wen Ming interrupted Professor Yin's words: "My mermaid scared you, I'm sorry, I can reimburse all medical expenses."

He said this without any self-blame, and didn't pay attention to Professor Yin's injuries.

It seemed to be provoking Professor Yin: Pretend? Keep pretending? Aren't you the best at pretending?

Mu Mu on the side pouted and hummed softly:

"Woo woo." Master, can you afford it? I didn't expect him to fall so badly...

The doctor softened when he heard the little mermaid groaning, and turned around to help speak:

"Professor Yin, it definitely didn't mean to do that. It's my fault for not keeping an eye on it and letting it run out and scare you."

Professor Yin's eyes twitched, and he wanted to ask back, "Do you really think I was just startled and fell like this?", but he tried his best to hold back.

The movement in the corridor had already disturbed the entire mermaid medical department, and other clinics opened their doors one after another.

If he got angry now, the image that Professor Yin had worked so hard to build would be destroyed.

"I just didn't stand firmly, nothing happened." He bit his back teeth tightly.

The doctors who went out to check on the situation praised:

"The professor is so gentle to the mermaid and the mermaid's owner, and he is always so elegant."

"Huh? Does the vein on Professor Yin's forehead seem to be jumping?"

"He fell and hurt himself, and he must be enduring the pain."

Professor Yin smiled as warm as spring sunshine,

and said "thank you for your hard work" to the people around him. Mu Mu was dumbfounded, pointed at it and said to Wen Ming: He is not like this in the laboratory!

"Pfft." Wen Ming picked it up and put it back in the treatment pool.

He patted Mu Mu soothingly: "This pool looks small, but it has a lot of space inside."

The little mermaid didn't hear his pun, and shook her tail, echoing:

"Ah!" Yes, super pretentious!

Professor Yin's perfect smile suddenly cracked.

When the corridor became quiet, he used his uninjured hand to carefully smooth out the wrinkles on his body:

"Let me be frank, if a mermaid is affected by the turmoil in the spiritual sea, she will most likely die. Wuwu has just reached adulthood and is a young mermaid."

He took a step closer to Wen Ming: "I believe that you, who are facing the turmoil in the spiritual sea at any time, would not want to cause the lively little mermaid to wither prematurely, right?"

"Hmm..." Mu Mu slapped the water unsatisfactorily.

Professor Yin sighed worriedly: "You can actually make a mermaid reject it. You probably don't have much experience raising mermaids. You can cancel the adoption and send it back to me."

"You worry too much."

Wen Ming held down the restless little mermaid: "Even if I encounter problems raising a mermaid, I can go to the live broadcast platform to find a masked anchor and ask him to translate it."

Mu Mu's cursing voice disappeared.

"Translate the needs and past of this mermaid." Wen Ming paused meaningfully, "Then we will know whether it has been abused and how kind-hearted people have treated it afterwards."

Mu Mu weakly pulled his sleeve: "Ah!" This is too difficult!

Professor Yin seemed to be mute, with a fake smile on his face, and said nothing.

"Treat this mermaid well."

He nodded to the doctor and turned away.

Professor Yin has not yet obtained the definite evidence that "Mu Mu is a mermaid", so he can continue his research by taking it back to the laboratory.

But Wen Ming is not someone to be trifled with.

All the threats and inducements were countered, and even his only weakness - the defect of the mental sea - was not clear.

"Don't be impatient..."

Professor Yin muttered to himself and dialed his subordinate's computer:

"Have you found the location of the masked anchor?"

The subordinate said with a headache: "The tracking signals have been disrupted, and we can't find his real IP. He may be in a military management area or a high-end residential area, or he may not be on a planet where humans usually reside..."

"Send him a private message and invite him to cooperate with the Mermaid Center. The price can be negotiated to this number."

The subordinate saw his gestures and took a deep breath: "Isn't this... too much?"

"People who can speak mermaid language must not fall into the hands of others."

Professor Yin looked around and made sure that there was no one around. A cruel look appeared on his face:

"Hurry up, in case he translates the mermaid who came out of the laboratory, the secret of the Mermaid Center will be exposed!"

"Yes!"

*

Mu Mu is a mermaid who learns from every mistake.

After experiencing this illness, it deeply understood:

"Ah!" There is really no good thing that is cheap!

It sniffed the pills left and right: "Ah!" A smell a hundred times stranger than milk!

The Mermaid Center would not prescribe a bottle of fake medicine just because all fees were waived...

"Why don't you take it?" Wen Ming asked curiously.

Mu Mu pushed the pills farther away and stared at the mermaid bowl in his hand.

After rejection, its ability to break down food was impaired. It can only eat things that are easily absorbed in a short period of time. It cannot be fed hard fish food or raw food.

Wen Ming mashed the fish meat, steamed it, and added shrimps. A healthy, nutritious and delicious mermaid rice was ready.

Mu Mu was confused by the fragrance: "Slurp!" Come on, put it in my mouth!

There is no intention of taking the medicine obediently.

Wen Ming picked up the pill, put it into the mermaid bowl together with the mermaid rice, and mixed it: "Eat it."

Mu Mu held the mermaid bowl and ate it in big mouthfuls. After a few minutes, he even licked the bottom of the bowl clean.

Wen Ming took the mermaid bowl and looked at it -

there was only a single pill left.

Mu Mu's eyes dodged: "Ouch..." It was too bitter, and he really couldn't eat it.

"You also heard what the doctor said." Wen Ming said in a deep voice, "You need to take medicine to regulate your appetite."

Mu Mu pointed his chin at the mermaid bowl that had been eaten clean:

"Oh?" Do you think my appetite needs to be regulated?

Wen Ming patted its head helplessly, and stuffed the pill into the fish's belly:

"If you eat them together, you won't be able to taste the medicine."

Mu Mu took the fish and started to chew it.

"Be good." Wen Ming walked out of the mermaid room.

Hearing his footsteps getting farther and farther away, Mu Mu blinked and pulled the dried fish out of his mouth...

He picked out the pills inside, then wiped his tail and sneaked out of the mermaid pond.

There was a pot of succulents in the corner of the mermaid room. Mu Mu had just tasted it when he came home, so there was a tooth mark on the edge of the succulent leaves.

Today, the poor succulents became the "victim" again.

Mu Mu dug a small hole in the earth, buried the pills in it, and admired it with satisfaction.

"Hey." Hidden impeccably!

Suddenly, the footsteps outside the door disappeared for a while, and appeared very close...

"!"

Mu Mu jumped hurriedly to the mermaid pond, but was too anxious and didn't grasp the jumping point well.

"Ouch!"

It bumped against the wall of the pool before entering the pool, and cried out in pain.

When Wen Ming returned to the mermaid room, it pretended nothing happened and gnawed on the dried fish listlessly.

Wen Ming held a tube of liquid similar to a nutrient in his hand and put it by the pool.

His eyes flashed, and he noticed something, and grabbed Mu Mu's hand.

There was a thin layer of mud on the white fingertips.

Mu Mu swallowed hard, and his tail swayed unnaturally in the water.

"Woo."

I didn't mean to be perfunctory to you, it's too disgusting... Sorry, I'll eat it now!

Wen Ming frowned and raised his hand towards its body.

His facial features were three-dimensional and heroic. With a frown between his eyebrows, his aura immediately pressed against the other party, very fierce.

Mu Mu's eyelashes trembled like a small fan, and in a trance, the face in front of him turned into another one.

'Number 55, if you don't cooperate with the test, you should be aware that you will be punished, right?'

"Huh!" The mermaid closed its eyes tightly and subconsciously dodged the hand...

Its lips trembled, and it slowly opened its eyes. Wen Ming's arm was hanging in the air, neither approaching nor retracting.

Following the hand upwards, Mu Mu confirmed Wen Ming's face.

...It was the master.

Mu Mu hurriedly grabbed Wen Ming's hand, put it on his cheek, and smiled ingratiatingly.

Wen Ming had a blank expression on his face, and pulled his hand out little by little:

"Who are you looking at?"

Mu Mu stammered helplessly, and grabbed his hand again, rubbing it against his head.

This time, Wen Ming pulled his hand out more firmly: "Did you see me in your eyes just now?"

Mu Mu had never heard him use this tone before.

"...Huh?" What's wrong with you?

Mu Mu was so anxious that he almost spoke human words, forcibly suppressing the urge to transform into a human form.

Anxiety and confusion intertwined together, the mermaid's instinct prompted it to circle in the pool, howling constantly.

Wen Ming watched silently for a while, took out another tablet from the medicine bottle, and put it into the tube of liquid.

The medicine dissolved quickly, and the little mermaid's nose twitched, and found that the unpleasant smell of the tablet disappeared...

This is a special liquid that turns solid medicine into a bitter-free medicine, specially prepared for children who refuse to take medicine.

Mu Mu suddenly realized-Wen Ming had guessed that it was unwilling to take the medicine.

Mu Mu pointed to the pot of succulents and "surrendered": "Ahh." I actually buried the medicine in the soil. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have wasted the pills.

The claw pointing to the "crime scene" was still black. Wen Ming scrubbed it clean and then let it hold the medicine.

Mu Mu didn't care about the taste anymore and raised it to drink it in one gulp.

After drinking it, he looked up and found that Wen Ming was no longer in the mermaid room.

"Ah?" Why is he so angry?

Mu Mu stretched his neck and howled towards the door:

"Ah-Woo-"

Master, please come back and have a look. I am still your good mermaid. I will never find the medicine bitter again!

It howled with the sadness of "being separated from my wife and children".

So much so that Wen Ming came back with a strange expression: "What's wrong?"

Mu Mu twitched sadly: "." I thought you were going to run away from home.

Wen Ming spread a blanket by the pool and took the little mermaid out.

Mu Mu was still immersed in the fear of "almost pissing off the master", clinging to him, trembling with excitement at the coolness on his waist but not letting go.

It moved its body, trying to avoid the sudden cold.

"Don't move."

As soon as Wen Ming spoke, Mu Mu didn't dare to move anymore, and looked down, and saw that he was applying ice to himself.

When he jumped back into the mermaid pond just now, he hit his waist, and now there are bruises there.

The pain was relieved by the ice, and it felt cool.

The pills seemed to have a calming effect. After Mu Mu's tense nerves relaxed, he felt drowsy.

It was surrounded by familiar energy particles, and it couldn't help but reflect on itself: How could I mistake the master for the previous master?

They are completely different!

The former master's energy was full of malicious playfulness, and when he suppressed the mermaids, he had a desire to control the weak;

while the master's energy was pure and strong, like an ancient tree that protected the elves, stable and mysterious.

Wait...

Mu Mu chased away the sleepiness and widened his eyes.

"Huh?" How come the master's energy is scattered everywhere?

*

A few hours ago.

Mu Mu had never shown fear, hatred and vigilance towards a person at the same time. It stood in front of Wen Ming and tried to help its master resist the attack of the spiritual sea.

Wen Ming's eyes passed over the little mermaid and fell on the condescending expression of the man at the door.

'You must not use the spiritual sea. Once it is disordered, there will be no hope!'

In the residual light, the mermaid's tail under the water surface changed subtly.

Wen Ming's eyebrows moved, and he grabbed the mermaid with his palm and dragged it into his arms.

The gate of the spiritual sea that had been silent for a long time was opened, like a sharp sword out of its sheath.

[——]

In the mist stirred up by the confrontation between the spiritual seas, Wen Ming endured the headache and hugged Mu Mu tightly.

You are determined to keep my secrets secret and never reveal them to others.
