After listening to Ansel's story, Lu Jiu fell silent.

Vera's life was harder than Lu Jiu's. Although Lu Jiu was bullied, he had a grandfather who loved him, and he didn't have to wander around and flee since he was a child.

The Haijia tribe was the overlord of the sea in the Demon Sea plane. Their strength was unquestionable. They held the magic crystal marrow, which could strengthen the genes of the Haijia tribe. Even if energy was needed, the magic crystal was not a necessity.

Even the "Special Security Department" knew how to use the energy of the magic crystal marrow to cultivate energy ingredients for the enhanced people to replenish energy. The Haijia tribe couldn't have been unaware of this. They would only use the magic crystal marrow to the extreme, but it was more convenient to have the magic crystal.

The ultimate goal of the intermarriage between the Seagars and the Sirens is to breed offspring with pure blood. Only when the ancient genes are pure enough can the enhanced power be stronger.

In this way, little Leilei's situation is more dangerous than Lottie.

Lu Jiu said, "Is it okay for you to stay here for a long time?"

Ansel's eyes were sad and relieved, "We can't stay here for a long time. We are eager to confirm your identity. On the one hand, we are worried about your safety, and on the other hand, my father can't wait any longer. He doesn't have much time."

Lawson kept staring at Lu Jiu, and he seemed to be struggling to speak.

He said something to Ansel, and Ansel translated for him, "Father wants to see your face, can I?"

Lu Jiu just remembered that he hadn't taken off his mask yet.

"Of course." Lu Jiu took off his mask.

Lawson's cloudy eyes trembled violently. He stared at Lu Jiu's face with tears in his eyes, and spoke a few words that Lu Jiu could not understand.

Ansel translated for him, "Father said that you look a lot like Weiner. Weiner is as beautiful as you. Vera's appearance should have changed. She shouldn't look like that."

This is almost beyond doubt. Lu Jiu does not look like Liao Tingwang. He is Vera's child. His appearance is completely different from Vera. Except that Vera has had her appearance changed, there is no other possibility.

Ansel paused, "We are going back in the next two days. Are you willing to go with us?"

Ansel actually knew that it was very unlikely that Lu Jiu would leave with them.

Sure enough, Lu Jiu refused.

Ansel smiled helplessly, "When we came here, we wanted to bring back your mother. Now your mother is gone. You may be safer here than going back with us. We will respect your decision."

What Si Xu was worried about did not happen. It seems that the Elton family is really doing good for Lu Jiu. They all know that Lu Jiu will be safer here. On the contrary, if he goes back with them, they may not be able to protect Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu said, "What's wrong with the old man's body?"

Ansel did not hide it. Lawson is old and sick all over. He has reached the point where no medicine can cure him. He has relied entirely on perseverance and obsession to support himself until now. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he has no regrets.

The old man is like a candle in the wind, which may go out at any time.

The old man trembled as he reached for the small box he had brought with him. Ansiel hurriedly reached out to help him open the box.

There was an antique wooden box in the small box, and Ansiel was stunned when he saw it.

The old man took out the wooden box, touched the lid of the box with care, and motioned Ansiel to give it to Lu Jiu.

Ansiel did as his father instructed. Natia lowered her eyes and said nothing. She knew what was in the box, and she thought it would be passed to Lottie, but she didn't expect her father to give it to Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu didn't know what was in the box. He only knew that the old man and Ansiel cherished it very much, and Natia seemed to care about it as well.

Lu Jiu opened the box and saw five black crystals placed side by side inside, each as big as a child's fist.

Lu Jiu recognized it at a glance. It was a magic crystal, and it was of high quality.

Lawson whispered a few words to Ansel, who nodded solemnly.

"These are all the magic crystals of our Elton family. Father said that these magic crystals will be more helpful to you. I hope you can accept them."

Lu Jiu was very surprised. He didn't expect Lawson to give him such a valuable thing.

Even Lu Jiu only had one high-quality magic crystal in his hand.

Lawson saw that Lu Jiu was hesitant, so he said something more and asked Ansel to translate.

"If these magic crystals continue to be kept in the Elton family, they can only be passed down from generation to generation as heirlooms, and their true purpose cannot be fulfilled. They may be snatched away by the Haijia tribe at any time, which is what we least want to see."

"So father wants to give these magic crystals to you, hoping that the magic crystals can make you stronger. You are the hope of our sea monsters. Our entire Elton family will stand behind you and be your shield to protect you all the way."

Although Lu Jiu has never been with this old man, he can see that the old man has his own persistence.

He was unable to help when Weiner was in trouble, but he had the courage to withstand the pressure of the Haijia tribe and cut off intermarriage, which made Lu Jiu admire him. Lawson is much braver than his father. If the Sirens had not forced Vina to marry into the Seaga tribe, perhaps there would not have been the tragedy that followed.

Lu Jiu believed in Lawson's feelings for his sister, otherwise he would not have given up searching for her for decades.

Lu Jiu looked at the Magic Crystal for a long time. Si Xu could not help him with this matter, so Lu Jiu could only make the decision himself.

He closed the wooden box, "Thank you, I accept the gift."

Lawson smiled.

Ansel also breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Jiu knew that this was not a simple gift. If he accepted it, he would also accept this identity.

He understood, so he accepted it.

What Lu Jiu lacked was not the five Magic Crystals, but his origin and his destination.

Lottie was the first to jump up, "I will have a brother in the future, right?"

Little Leilei also clapped her hands, "I finally have a reliable brother."

Lu Jiu said, "I also have a gift for the old man, maybe it will help his body, you can try it."

Lu Jiu took out a primary treatment and handed it over.

Ansel looked at his father.

Lawson said something.

Ansel: "He is thanking you and will definitely use the medicine well."

They all knew Lawson's body and there was no possibility of recovery, so when they heard that it would help the old man's body, they didn't expect too much.

Lu Jiu looked at Lottie, "I still owe you a meal."

Lottie immediately laughed, "I've been thinking about it, I wonder if I can eat it before I leave?"

Lu Jiu glanced at Si Xu, who refused to let him get close to the Magic Fish Shop.

Si Xu tilted his head to look at Lu Jiu, "You can go to Baige Bay tomorrow night, I'll ask Jiang Ge to reserve a box for you."

Lu Jiu knew that Si Xu didn't want anyone to know that the Elton family had contacted him, and Si Xu had been carefully protecting him.

Lu Jiu extended an invitation to Lawson, Ansel and Natia.

The Elton family readily agreed and said they would attend on time.

Both parties said goodbye, Lu Jiu and Si Xu left first, and the Elton family left later.

Lu Jiu accepted his maternal relatives. Ansiel was Lu Jiu's uncle, and Lawson was Lu Jiu's great-grandfather. Apart from the Liao family, they were the closest people to Lu Jiu.

Si Xu discussed with Lu Jiu that before they left, they wanted to arrange for their parents to meet them.

Lu Jiu understood Si Xu's meaning. Since the two had decided to be together, a meeting between the parents was essential.

After discussion, the two decided to have a meal together tomorrow night.

When Lu Jiu left, he left his contact number, and Lu Jiu told Ansiel about this in advance.

Ansiel and Lawson were very happy, which meant that Lu Jiu recognized them, and they would meet Si Xu's parents as Lu Jiu's elders.

They were looking forward to this meeting.

Lu Jiu prepared dinner for the Magic Fish Restaurant early, and took the ingredients to Baige Bay.

Jiang Ge was already waiting at the door. He really wanted to hang Lu Jiu out as a living sign. If people knew that Lu Jiu came to Baige Bay to be the chef tonight, wouldn't Baige Bay's business be so bad?

The idea was good, but Si Xu rejected it. If Jiang Ge dared to mess around, they would not even be friends.

This was almost the most serious warning, and Jiang Ge certainly didn't dare to mess around.

Si Xu wanted the biggest private room, so he gave it to him. If Lu Jiu wanted an independent kitchen, he would set aside a part of the kitchen for Lu Jiu to use.

Lu Jiu arrived at Baige Bay in advance to prepare. He brought his own ingredients, seasonings and various tools.

People in the kitchen rushed to help him get things, and they felt honored to touch the utensils that Boss Lu often used.

Lu Jiu only needed to prepare one table tonight, and the head chef Fang Qiankun took the initiative to ask to help Lu Jiu, and envied a group of chefs and assistants.

Fang Qiankun has been a head chef for many years, and his cooking skills and knife skills are beyond doubt. Some jobs that require knife skills are given to him, and Lu Jiu is mainly responsible for seasoning and post-production. Two people can work much faster than one person.

The agreed time is approaching, and Si Xu did not let Lu Jiu show up, and went to Baigewan to receive him in advance.

Both parties wanted not to keep the other party waiting for too long, so they came early. As a result, Si Qinian and Song Mozhi met the newly arrived Elton family at the gate of Baige Bay. The whole family was dressed up, and even little Leilei was dressed up as a little princess.

Song Mozhi didn't know their identity as the Sirens, but she thought that their family was very good-looking. No wonder they had such a beautiful child like Rujiu. It turned out that the family had good genes.

Si Qinian knew very well that the appearance of the Sirens was recognized as good. Rujiu's siren gene was fully awakened, and his appearance was even more outstanding. He didn't need to use his ability. His appearance alone was attractive enough. Fortunately, Rujiu was used to wearing a mask, otherwise Si Xu would have a headache.

The two sides started chatting at the door. Si Qinian walked with Lu Jiu's uncle and great-uncle, and they had many topics to talk about.

Song Mozhi walked with Natia, and they also had topics to talk about.

Si Xu led them to the private room, and then went to the kitchen to find Lu Jiu.

Dinner was ready, and Lu Jiu followed Si Xu to the private room, and the task of serving the dishes was given to Fang Qiankun.

Lu Jiu only took a glance and knew that Lawson had already used the primary treatment agent, and his condition was much better than yesterday.

The Elton family members were very happy to see Lu Jiu, and they hugged Lu Jiu one by one, especially Ansel and Lawson. The two were very excited. They didn't expect that the effect of the medicine given by Lu Jiu would be so good.

Yesterday Lawson had difficulty speaking, but today he can walk on his own and speak fluently. He is a very energetic old man.

Lawson is very important to the entire Elton family. He is the most capable head of the Elton family in recent generations. Otherwise, the Sirens would have collapsed long ago under the crazy suppression of the Haiga tribe. It was Lawson who was fighting against the Haiga tribe. When the Haiga tribe attacked their young descendants, Lawson was no less inferior. He would not miss any opportunity to weaken the power of the Haiga tribe. Lawson

always remembered the grudge of the past. Van Luns killed his own sister and persecuted his sister's children to this day. As long as Van Luns is alive, Lawson will not be reconciled to his death. Now that he is in good physical condition, he can seek revenge on Van Luns again. For

this table tonight, Lu Jiu used the best ingredients.

Four-star giant manta, three-star small blue devil, two-star invisible fish, stone skull caviar sauce, one-star silver fish were all used, and red fruit wine and green fruit wine were also put on the table. There was no limit, and you could drink as much as you wanted.

Everyone present was not an ordinary person, so the dinner prepared by Lu Jiu was not an ordinary dinner.

This was the reason why he wanted an independent kitchen. Except for the washing and cutting, which required Fang Qiankun's help, Lu Jiu was responsible for all the subsequent preparations. He locked himself in the small kitchen and sang, turning a table of delicacies into magic meals.

Song Mozhi had already used the primary gene enhancer given by Lu Jiu.

Si Qinian did not have the genes of the Demon Sea clan, so he did not need the primary gene enhancer in Lu Jiu's hand. He used the gene medicine made by Si Xu, which contained magic fragrance fruit. The 2% enhancement effect was already the best gene medicine with the best enhancement effect on the Earth plane.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the mass-produced gene drugs, which have an enhancement effect of only 0.8%~0.9%. It is rare to achieve an enhancement effect of 1%. I don’t know where the problem is.

Although it is mass-produced, they are all made by professionals. With the same formula and the same materials, they just can’t achieve the effect made by Si Xu.

When Si Xu changed the formula, he put forward a condition that he would retain the right to make gene drugs. The higher-ups agreed, but also gave him restrictions. Si Xu could use it for himself, but not for commercial use or mass production. If there were more than ten, he had to report it and explain the whereabouts of the drugs.

So Si Xu almost stopped making drugs unless necessary.

After they tasted dinner, they were all amazed by the energy in the dishes. This was completely eating energy, mild and rich.

After tasting Lu Jiu's craftsmanship, Natia's discomfort disappeared completely.

She understood Lu Jiu's intention of accepting the magic crystal.

Magic Crystals are indeed important, especially when there are five of them. But compared to Magic Crystals, Lu Jiu's craftsmanship is even better. He can make such energy-rich food, even without Magic Crystals.

Magic Crystals will be used up sooner or later, but Lu Jiu's craftsmanship will always be there.

Lawson and Ansel were also a little dazed. The Magic Crystals they cherished didn't seem so important in front of this table of food. They were both energy, and the Magic Crystals had a lot of energy, but the food on this table also had a lot of energy, and it was milder.

Before coming here, the Elton family had checked the local customs. When parents meet, they have to give their children gifts. They also prepared a gift for Si Xu.

The gift they prepared was not cash or bank cards, but shares of the Elton family.

The Elton family has existed for so many years, and their assets are spread across various countries and industries. They can no longer be described as "rich". They are indeed weaker than the Haiga tribe in terms of strength, but they will definitely not be inferior in terms of financial strength.

Both Lu Jiu and Si Xu have it. Both of them received a "meeting gift" from the elders of the Elton family.

Lu Jiu and Si Xu are not short of money, but this is the intention of the elders, so they accepted it.

Such a delicious dinner completely won the hearts of little Lai Lei and Lottie. The two siblings rushed to become his disciples and wanted to stay and learn cooking skills from Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His cooking skills were only auxiliary. The key point was still good ingredients. To learn his cooking skills, you can't do without his ingredients.

Jiu: "You should still be studying, right?"

Lottie is only 17 years old, and it's vacation now, so she can come here with her father.

Lottie doesn't care, "I don't think it's a problem, my language is completely good, if my brother agrees to let me stay, I can transfer here to study, it must be a very interesting thing."

Little Leilei was not to be outdone, and spread her hands, "I think I can settle down here, I want to study, grow up, get married and have children here."

Ansel: "I think this is a good idea, if you can take care of yourself, I will be more relieved, at least you can make your own milk before bed every night."

Little Leilei: "This is too simple, I can do it. "

Ansel nodded, "It's really simple, but I hope you won't use cold water to make milk anymore, it tastes terrible."

Natia was worried about the two children, "Do you really want to leave mommy and stay here?"

Lottie nodded, "I like it here very much."

Little Laile: "I like it too."

Lottie was dissatisfied, "Laile, you should go back, I don't know how to braid your hair."

Little Laile: "I don't need you, I can do it myself."

Natia was helpless, "I think we need to listen to your brother's opinion."

Lu Jiu was immediately stared at by everyone.

Lu Jiu: "..."

Lu Jiu: "I don't know how to braid my hair either."

He has practiced for so long, but he can only tie a ponytail.

Lottie was happy, "Lailei, you should go back with your mother."

Little Lailei was not discouraged, "I can cut my hair short."

Lottie shook her head, "Little princesses always have long hair."

Little Lailei felt wronged and began to shed tears.

Song Mozhi hurriedly said, "Lailei, don't cry, come to auntie."

Little Lailei jumped off the chair and ran to the beautiful auntie.

Song Mozhi held the sweet and soft little Lailei on his lap and wiped her tears, "If Lailei really wants to stay, you can live in auntie's house and auntie will take care of you, okay?"

Song Mozhi liked little Lailei very much. She wanted a daughter, but unfortunately gave birth to a son.

Little Lailei shook her head, "Thank you, Auntie, I'd better go back."

Little Lailei choked up and said, "You don't have to worry about me. Children cry a lot. I'm just a little sad, and I'll be fine soon."

Little Lailei wanted to stay, but she was not an ignorant child. She knew that she needed someone to take care of her, and staying would be a burden to them.

Little Lailei quickly adjusted her mood and stopped crying.

In fact, the Elton family and Lu Jiu both understood that Lailei's safety was the most important issue.

They ate and drank all the food and drinks, and their bodies were full of energy. They had never felt so comfortable.

Lu Jiu wanted to let little Lailei awaken into a mermaid before she left. Other people's protection was too passive. If she wanted to have the ability to protect herself, she could only awaken the mermaid bloodline. She is too young to use primary gene enhancers, so the magic meal is just right for her.

In the Elton family, little Leilei and Lottie have the most concentrated siren genes. Lu Jiu also ate sea monsters in the Demon Sea to awaken into sirens. Leilei and Lottie should be able to do the same, but Lu Jiu can't guarantee it for others because their siren genes are too thin.

Before leaving, Lu Jiu talked about this matter with Ansiel and Lawson alone, letting them decide for themselves. If they want them to become sirens, they can stay for another week to see how things go.

Becoming a siren is the wish of every siren, but when the opportunity really comes, Ansiel hesitates. The reason is simple: Leilei is too young, and he doesn't know whether it is good or bad to let her become a siren.

Ansel was very happy that Lottie had a chance to turn into a mermaid, but Leilei made him worried.

Lu Jiu said, "Lelei ate a lot of energy seafood tonight, it is inevitable that she will turn into a mermaid. If it fails..."

If it fails, they all know the consequences.

Lawson said, "Don't hesitate, Ansel, you take the two children and stay for a while. You can go back after Leilei wakes up. I will go back to take care of the housework."

Lawson made a decision, and Ansel didn't have to hesitate.

Lu Jiu hesitated, "Also, I have an injection. After using it, you may awaken the Siren bloodline, or you may not, and you will only gain special abilities. Your Siren genes are too thin, and I am not sure if you can successfully awaken. Do you want to use it?"

Lawson said without hesitation, "Of course, if I have enough power, I will personally pinch off Van Lance's head."

Ansel: "I am willing to do so too. The Siren tribe has been suppressed for too long."

The others were already waiting in the car. Ansel and Lawson followed Lu Jiu back to the compartment, where Si Xu was already waiting.

There were only four of them in the compartment. Lu Jiu did not know how to inject, so Si Xu had to do it.

Lu Jiu said, "The awakening process will be painful."

Lawson smiled and said, "I have experienced all kinds of pain."

Ansel also said that he could bear it.

Si Xu personally injected them, one for each person, and the empty syringe was collected by Lu Jiu.

Facts have proved that the strengthening effect is proportional to the pain. As adults, they find it difficult to bear, especially Lottie and Lei Lei.

Lu Jiu looked at them, wanting to know if they succeeded.

Lawson looked at his palm, "I think I need a bottle of sea water."

There is no shortage of sea water in Baige Bay. Some of the mutated seafood are raised in sea water. Si Xu is happy to provide them with it.

The two poured sea water on their hands. The unfamiliar pain made Ansel "hiss". His palm began to deform, the finger bones became thinner and longer, and transparent webbed membranes grew between the fingers.

Ansel looked at his hands in shock and joy, "Oh my God! Did I really awaken the Siren bloodline?!"

Lawson raised his palm, "Me too."

Lu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. They succeeded and did not waste two potions. Lu

Jiu suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I hope Natia's aunt will not be angry. Her Siren gene is too weak. Even if she uses the potion, she can't awaken."

The system told Lu Jiu very confidently that Natia could not awaken because her Siren gene was too weak.

Lawson and Ansel have a certain chance of awakening. The genetic potential of the Siren is not as strong as that of the Demon Spirit Clan, so the difficulty of awakening will not be too high. Even so, there are requirements for the genetic level.

Just like Song Mozhi, her demon gene is also very weak, so even if she uses the primary gene enhancer, she cannot awaken the demon bloodline, and at most can only have the enhancement ability.

Ansiel and Lawson both expressed their understanding that they would not tell anyone about this.

They knew how precious this injection was without asking.

If the Haijia tribe knew about it, they would definitely get it at all costs, so the best way is to tell no one, even if Natia is Ansiel's wife, after all, there is a Limo family behind Natia.

Lu Jiu and Si Xu both knew that to deal with an ancient family like the Haijia tribe, they could never rely on the two of them alone. They needed the support of the Sirens, so Si Xu agreed to let Lu Jiu take out the primary gene enhancer.

If he was not afraid of leaking the news that Country Z had this drug, Si Xu would like to prepare a batch for them so that all the Sirens would have enhanced strength, but this is obviously not possible unless the Elton family immigrated to Country Z. Si Xu could not do such a thing.

Because Lawson had to go back early, Lu Jiu gave him two boxes of caviar and asked him to take them back to eat.

The two parties parted ways, and Lawson solemnly entrusted Lu Jiu to Si Xu, asking him to protect Lu Jiu and to contact the Elton family for anything. They would protect Lu Jiu's safety at all costs.
