All in all, I bought meatballs worth nearly 2,000 points.
Raise the pups so that they are all plump.
The chief and the tribesmen came to see the cubs, and they were all surprised.
"Xixi, the little fish you raise are so healthy, all of them are plump and white.
How do you raise them? Do you have any tips?"
Ying Xixi laughed dryly, "It's all about making sure the pups have enough to eat and drink, and have enough sleep, play, and be in a good mood. If you do all of this, as long as the pups aren't born with a weak constitution, they'll all be plump and white."
The patriarch nodded seriously and took note of it.
“Remember, I’ll try it next time.
By the way, Xixi, before I came here, I found that Yuanyuan’s life bead was extinguished, and I don’t know how she died.
Did you know what happened to her before you returned to the sea?"
The patriarch suddenly mentioned Ying Yuanyuan, and Ying Xixi was stunned for a moment.
"Her life bead is extinguished?"
"Yes, I saw it was still on two days ago, but the light was a little dim. I didn't expect it to go out in just two days.
Alas, another mermaid has died. Why can't our mermaid tribe prosper?"
The patriarch waved his red fishtail, looking a little melancholy.
Ying Xixi pursed her lips and said, "Chief, if we don't allow our tribe members to go ashore anymore, can we reduce the number of mermaid deaths?"
The clan leader smiled bitterly and shook his head, "That's impossible, Xixi, you may not know that my father is also human, and I am the fish cub born from the union of a mermaid and a human.
If mermaids are not allowed to come ashore and fall in love with humans, perhaps our mermaid race will die out faster."
Ying Xixi was silent for a moment.
She really didn't know this.
"Everything has its pros and cons. We mermaids have a very long lifespan, and our days in the deep sea are long and boring.
It’s actually quite nice to go ashore occasionally to find a human to fall in love with and relieve loneliness.
But eight out of ten mermaids are love-brained.
Among the eight love-stricken minds, four will not return to the deep sea because of humans and thus give up their lives.
So over the past few hundred or thousand years, the number of our mermaids has been decreasing.
As a last resort, the former tribe leader stipulated that if you want to go ashore, two mermaids must go together.
But this is of little use. Those who are destined to die will die, and those who don’t want to come back will never come back.
There are so few mermaids like you, Xixi, who are willing to come back!"
After the patriarch said this, he looked at Ying Xixi with a much more eager gaze.
Ying Xixi: “….”
"I might only come ashore occasionally in the future. I'll still live in the deep sea permanently. I'm actually not that interested in the human world."
"Okay, okay, it's all good. There's still a lot of time to go. If Xixi wants to go ashore and find a human man to fall in love with and give birth to some little fish, that would be great.
Perhaps the prosperity of our mermaid tribe depends entirely on you."
The patriarch smiled and patted Ying Xixi's arm.
Ying Xixi: “….”
The patriarch said a few more words and then left without mentioning anything about Ying Yuanyuan, which made Ying Xixi feel slightly relieved.
Because she didn't know how to explain Ying Yuanyuan's situation.
Ying Yuanyuan's life bead went out, indicating that she was completely dead.
Every mermaid in the mermaid tribe has a life bead in the ancestral hall that symbolizes life.
The life bead will glow while the mermaid is still alive.
The brighter the light, the stronger the mermaid's vitality.
The light becomes weaker, indicating that the vitality is weakening.
The light completely went out, indicating that the mermaid was completely dead.
Ying Yuanyuan has been working on the laboratory table in the research institute for almost ten months. Did she finally die?
Ying Xixi couldn't describe how she felt, but she could feel that the resentment belonging to the original owner had completely dissipated.
As the days passed, Ying Xixi no longer heard the alarm from the system about Lin Huaye's imminent death.
Sometimes she would be curious, is Lin Huaye still in the beach villa?
Could it be that Lin Huaiye has already returned to Beijing to work?
Lin Huaye...will he listen to her obediently after hearing the words in the little conch, stop looking for her, and learn to forget her?
On this day, Ying Xixi took the mermaid babies to look for food in the deep sea.
Of course, the small fish and shrimps she found were for the mermaid babies to eat, as she still couldn't eat raw fish.
She was waving her big silver fishtail, and behind her were a large group of little fish babies lined up.
The scene can be described as spectacular.
Suddenly, she heard a noisy commotion not far away.
The deep sea is always boring. When there is little movement, everyone will rush over to watch and eat.
Ying Xixi also waved her fish tail and led the mermaid babies over to watch the fun.
Not far away, a dozen mermaids were gathered around something and chattering.
"Is he a mermaid too? His tail is actually black, the same color as the witch's.
Could he be a wizard?"
"Wizard? Do we mermaids have wizards? I've never heard of them."
"Is he a merman from another tribe? We don't know him."
"Is he unconscious? He won't wake up no matter how hard we try. Should we call the chief and the witch over to check on him?"
......
Ying Xixi listened to the mermaids and swam over curiously.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
When the mermaids saw Ying Xixi coming, they made room for her and pointed to the mermaid with a black fish tail to show her.
"Xixi, look, there's a strange mermaid here. See if you recognize him."
Ying Xixi was pushed and shoved by the mermaids, and was caught off guard when she saw a mermaid floating quietly in the deep sea.
The mermaid's tail is black, and the black scales are shimmering with a little silver, giving it a dark look.
The upper body of the mermaid is exposed, and it can be seen that it is a merman.
And the merman's face...
Ying Xixi's pupils trembled and her eyes widened suddenly.
"Lin Huaiye?!"
Ying Xixi exclaimed and pounced on the merman, looking at his face carefully.
This face is exactly the same as Lin Huaye's!
And the little red mole on Lin Huaye’s neck is exactly the same!
Ying Xixi turned her head to look at his fish tail. It was a real fish tail, not a fake fish tail made up of human legs wearing fish tail covers.
So, Lin Huaiye turned into a mermaid?!
Ying Xixi just froze there.
"Xixi, do you know him? Where did this mermaid come from? We've never seen him before."
The mermaids surrounding her asked Ying Xixi curiously.
Ying Xixi opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain for a moment.
Because she didn't know what the situation was.
"I think I know him. I'll take him to see the witch and ask about the situation."
As Ying Xixi spoke, she took Lin Huaiye's arm and swam with him towards the witch's house.
When the little fish saw their mother pulling the strange but somewhat familiar mermaid away, they hurriedly followed with their little tails wagging.
