Lin Huaiye curled his lips and smiled, "Now you have seen, witch, that mermaids need to give up their voices and tails to transform into humans.
What about a human becoming a mermaid? What do I need to give up?
The witch thought for a moment and shook her head, “I’ve never made a potion that could turn a human into a mermaid, and I’m not sure I could make such a potion.
You'd better not get your hopes up too much. I'll let your soul return to your body first. You'd better go back to the shore.
For Xixi's sake, I can try to make a potion for you, but I can't guarantee that I can do it.
If there is a result, I will let the little conch tell you, and you can listen to it when you pick up the little conch on the shore."
Lin Huaiye was stunned for a moment when he heard the witch's words.
"Can the little conch talk?"
Witch: “?”
“The little conch can’t speak, but it can store sounds.
What I say to the little conch will be stored inside the conch, and you will hear it when you get the conch."
After the witch finished her explanation, she said nothing more. She grabbed Lin Huaiye's soul and threw it into his body.
Before Lin Huaiye had time to think, his consciousness fell into darkness.
When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the shore.
The stars in the night sky twinkled, making him feel a little dazed.
He sat up and stared at the rolling sea for a while.
The scenes he saw before his consciousness fell into darkness appeared in his mind one by one.
His soul saw Xixi giving birth.
Xixi gave birth to thirty little fish cubs for him, as well as a pair of twin human cubs, a boy and a girl.
He also met a witch from the mermaid tribe, who brought him back to life.
He told the witch that he wanted to become a mermaid, and the witch said she would try to make a potion.
By the way, the witch also said that the conch can store sounds.
Recalling this, Lin Huaiye quickly took out the small conch left by Ying Xixi from his trouser pocket.
He raised the small conch to his ear with some trembling and heard a familiar sound coming from the conch.
It was Xixi's voice.
"Aye, I'm sorry, I have to leave again, this time I'm going back to give birth to little fish cubs.
I dare not tell you, but actually we mermaids give birth to our little fish cubs in the deep sea.
Otherwise the young fish may easily die.
I was afraid that you wouldn't believe me, that you would rather watch the little fish die than let me leave.
So I left again.
Aye, when I give birth to human cubs, I will send them to the beach villa.
I hope you can raise them to adulthood.
Live a good life, Ye, and don’t come looking for me, you can’t find me…”
After hearing what Ying Xixi said, Lin Huaiye fell silent for a moment.
He raised his hands to cover his face, and no one could tell whether he was crying or laughing.
After a while, Lin Huaiye stood up from the beach and walked towards the villa.
In the mermaid tribe, Ying Xixi would call out to the system in her heart every once in a while. After calling out for an unknown number of times, she finally heard a response from the system.
【Here it comes, the system is here. 】
"System, how is Lin Huaiye? Is he still alive?"
Ying Xixi asked hurriedly.
[Alive, alive, the male protagonist is still alive. He has now returned to his beach villa. The host can rest assured.]
"Did you rescue Lin Huaiye? Was he really dying when you found him?
Did the main system say anything?"
Ying Xixi has many questions now.
[When the main system and I found the male protagonist, we discovered that he was indeed dead, but the plane did not collapse.
We guessed that he was faking his death, so after we sent him ashore, we tried to give him first aid, but unexpectedly, he actually came back to life.
This time, when the male protagonist was on the verge of death, the host happened to be giving birth. This was an act of force majeure, and the main system did not blame me or say anything.
Ying Xixi thought for a moment and said, "So, if Lin Huaiye is on the verge of death again in the future, you, the system, can go and save him directly. I don't necessarily need to go there myself?"
System: [Ah? Will the hero be on the verge of death again?]
"It's hard to say. After what happened a few times, I guess Lin Huaiye knows that I won't let him die, and his near-death experience will lure me out to save him.
So time and again, he was using his own death to lure me out and make me appear before him."
Ying Xixi took some time to calm down and figure this out.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why she was locked up in the villa after she went there when Lin Huaiye was almost poisoned to death.
Whether it was the reinforced window railings or the broken chain, they were obviously prepared in advance.
Lin Huaye used his own death as bait to lure her over.
system:【.......】
[The male protagonist is so perverted and crazy. It seems that he deliberately came here to die tonight to lure you out. Unexpectedly, you happened to be giving birth tonight.]
"Yes, Lin Huaiye didn't expect me to give birth tonight, and I didn't expect him to choose to drown tonight. Fortunately, you saved him.
As for the future... I don't know what to do anymore, let's just raise the child first."
Ying Xixi tapped the fish tank, and the little fishes swam over happily.
Originally, Ying Xixi thought it would be difficult for a mermaid to raise so many children.
Especially the twins are premature babies.
It turned out to be a piece of cake.
The genes of boy-girl twins do contain mermaid genes, and their growth rate is different from that of humans.
The twins, a boy and a girl, had grown a lot when they were only one month old. They could laugh, cry, and flap their limbs as they swam in the deep sea.
It doesn't look like a cub that was born more than two months prematurely.
In order to allow the children to move freely, Ying Xixi asked her clansmen to help reinforce her house to form an enclosed space.
She also released the baby fish from the fish tank.
Let their brothers and sisters communicate with each other conveniently.
So Ying Xixi's daily routine was to lie in a large shell, flapping her tail and watching the little fish and two human cubs swimming around the room.
She grabbed a handful of shrimps and threw them into the air, and the cubs all rushed over to eat them.
No one is picky about food.
It’s true that food tastes better when there are more people around.
As for the names of the cubs, Ying Xixi thought that since Lin Huaiye was to name the little fish cubs, he would also let Lin Huaiye name the two human cubs.
She can't play favorites.
There are so many kids, she can't be partial to any of them.
Now she calls her cubs by their order.
Although she couldn't tell how the thirty little fish were numbered, or which were bigger and which were smaller.
But when she called out the number, a small fish would always swim in front of her.
Maybe the little fish have discussed their respective rankings among themselves.
For example, the twins, a boy and a girl, are more direct. The brother is called Xiao Sanshiyi and the sister is called Xiao Yaomei.
Ying Xixi had heard from her tribesmen that the survival rate of mermaid cubs was low. She was worried about her own cubs and specially bought some pills from the system mall to strengthen the cubs' physique for them to eat.
