The next day, when Shen Jinghua learned that this mermaid egg could actually purify water, he completely changed his previous opinion of the mermaid egg.
Jiang transferred all the purified water in the bathtub to the laboratory. These precious water samples will become an important basis for them to further explore the mysteries of water ecological resources.
When the researchers stepped into the laboratory, they were immediately attracted by the crystal clear water.
They looked at the mermaid egg lying quietly in the center of the tank in disbelief, their eyes revealing an excitement that was difficult to conceal.
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, this mermaid egg seemed to have become hope.
In this tense yet expectant atmosphere, Jiang Ze and his team members continued to brave the waves of the vast ocean, while constantly observing and recording the mermaid egg.
As time went by, the mermaid egg not only gradually regained its vitality, but its interior had also quietly completed a gorgeous transformation.
Through penetrating scanning instruments, people can clearly see a small figure growing inside the mermaid egg.
Faced with this unknown but hopeful new life, a strong sense of anticipation rises deep in everyone's heart.
Finally, after a period of time that was not long but was painful enough, the outer layer of the mermaid egg, which was originally as hard and gray as a fossil, began to slowly change.
At first, there was only a faint hint of blue, but soon the blue spread rapidly like a smudge of paint, until the entire eggshell was covered with a layer of dreamy blue.
At this moment, the mermaid eggshell suddenly cracked into a long and narrow crack without any warning.
"Ahhh, Jiang Ze, he's coming out!" Shen Jinghua couldn't suppress his inner excitement. He kept slapping Jiang Ze's arms with his hands, and his voice became a little sharp because of excitement.
As they looked on with anticipation and delight, a tiny head slowly emerged from the mermaid egg.
Those eyes, as pure as sapphires, reveal an innate indifference and alienation, but they also sparkle with charming light inadvertently.
The sparkling blue tail sways gently, which is both cute and cool.
The mermaid baby just stared at Jiang Ze, and then stretched out her white and tender little arms towards Jiang Ze without hesitation, as if asking for a hug like a spoiled child.
Jiang Ze obviously hadn't recovered from the scene before him. Seeing this, Shen Jinghua couldn't contain his admiration and quickly took the mermaid baby out of the egg without saying a word.
"Ahhhh!!! Oh my god, this is so fucking cute!!" Shen Jinghua spun around excitedly while holding the mermaid baby.
Then, he couldn't wait to pull Jiang Ze to his side, pointed at Jiang Ze and said, "Baby, look, this is your big daddy, and I'm your second daddy..."
However, before Shen Jinghua could finish his words, he suddenly felt a pain in his right hand. Xie Qi had opened her mouth and bit the back of his hand fiercely.
"Ah! It hurts! Jiang Ze, help me!"
When Jiang Ze heard the cry, he quickly stretched out his hands, and Xie Qi, who had been biting the back of Shen Jinghua's hand tightly, let go instantly after seeing Jiang Ze coming.
Then, he lay down obediently and docilely in Jiang Ze's warm embrace.
Jiang Ze turned his head to look at Shen Jinghua, and asked with a worried look on his face: "How is it? Is there any bleeding?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jinghua quickly lowered his head to check the back of his hand where he had been bitten. When he found only a small, slightly red mark, he heaved a sigh of relief.
But his face still showed an expression of wanting to cry but not being able to, and he muttered pitifully: "Fortunately, this little guy probably hasn't grown teeth yet, otherwise my hand would be in trouble..."
After saying that, Shen Jinghua raised his head and looked at the mermaid baby who was quietly nestling in Jiang Ze's arms with a sad look. He murmured to himself with envy: "Why doesn't this little guy like me as his second father? Is there something I haven't done well enough?..."
At this moment, Xie Qi, who had been lying in Jiang Ze's arms without saying a word, suddenly turned his head and stared at Shen Jinghua.
Then, his little mouth opened and closed, and a crystal clear bubble came out, which floated slowly in the air.
Shen Jinghua was attracted by the wonderful scene before him and forgot the pain of being bitten just now. He looked at the bubble slowly floating towards him with curiosity.
After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but raise his hand and gently poked the bubble with his fingertips. However, the moment his finger touched the bubble, there was a crisp "bang" sound, and the bubble instantly exploded, turning into countless tiny water droplets that fell on Shen Jinghua's face like raindrops.
The sudden change caught Shen Jinghua off guard. He subconsciously closed his eyes, feeling the coolness brought by the cold water droplets splashing on his cheeks.
When he opened his eyes again, he had become a drowned rat, his hair was wet and stuck to his scalp, and his clothes were soaked. He looked extremely miserable.
Shen Jinghua looked at Jiang Ze in astonishment, wiped the water stains on his face vigorously, and shouted: "No, why!"
Jiang Ze also looked helpless. He sighed softly, then kindly reminded, "Maybe... he doesn't like you being his second father..."
After hearing Jiang Ze's words, Shen Jinghua did not give up. He looked at the mermaid baby again and asked, "Then if Jiang Ze is your big daddy, is that okay?"
But what responded to Shen Jinghua was a water bubble thrown at him mercilessly.
In Xie Qi's mind, Jiang Ze is his wife, how could she possibly be his big daddy? Shen Jinghua is harming him!
And when he saw that the mermaid baby also denied the possibility of Jiang Ze becoming the big daddy without hesitation, Shen Jinghua's mood suddenly improved.
He seemed to have forgotten the blow he had just suffered. He laughed heartily and said to himself, "Haha, so it turns out that he's not just targeting me! He has personality! He's worthy of being my son..."
Just as Shen Jinghua was saying these words proudly, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the little mermaid spitting out another crystal clear bubble of water.
This time, he didn't dare to continue talking without restraint. He quickly closed his mouth and quickly changed the subject: "Oh, you are indeed a mermaid, a god of the sea."
