"Come down with me to apologize, and we'll go back to John's tavern together!" After saying this, Lin Yuan led Si Jin downstairs.
Enri and the others had no choice but to follow suit, and they even offered a fish scale to the poor little girl who was being tortured by Jones.
When they arrived at the tavern, John explained the whole story.
After finishing his glass of red wine, John frowned at his group of compatriots and added with a look of exasperation, "You guys are just stupid! The humans the King has taken a liking to, could they be ordinary humans?"
"If you really have doubts, you can rush to the Alliance Police Department's hospital the moment you land and comfort the injured merfolk who were rescued from the lab, instead of following that idiot Jones to cause trouble at the research institute! Aren't you ashamed?!"
"Don't tell anyone we're the same kind of people when we go out!"
Lying on the fifth floor, quietly listening to John lecture people, Lin Yuan became happier and happier as he listened.
only……
If it weren't for the reminder from these people today, he would have almost forgotten that he actually... dislikes humans.
They especially dislike merfolk who fall in love with humans.
His mother, originally his father's queen and the most noble female merman in all of Deans, happened to save a sailor who had fallen into the water one day when she surfaced.
The sailor was someone the mother had seen when she was young; he was handsome and dashing, and she had once fallen in love with him at first sight. So, the mother insisted on using fish scales to save him and brought him back to Deans through the swirling waterfall of the Blue Pit.
Humans are cunning by nature. Before long, they won the mother's favor with all sorts of novel things they had never seen in the sea, leading her to fall in love with someone else. One day, they even kissed intimately in the backyard of the palace without any regard for others.
When his father caught him, he flew into a rage and wanted to drive the humans away.
Humans took advantage of the fact that "merfolk only love one person in their lifetime" and were certain that the father would always trust the mother. So they tricked the mother and gave the poison to the father.
Before his father died suddenly, his face was bluish-purple, whether from poisoning or anger, it was unclear. In any case, he held on to his last breath and used his trident to pierce the human's throat.
This farce finally came to an end amidst endless bloodshed.
At that time, Xiao Linyuan just hugged his father and cried, thinking that this would end everything.
But soon after, the mother discovered that she was pregnant again.
She was pregnant with a human child.
However, because it possessed human genes, the child was completely unable to adapt to the deep, cold seawater thousands of meters below and died immediately after birth.
She died in her mother's arms without even uttering a cry.
After witnessing her and her lover's child die in her arms, the mother began to go mad.
She felt that her father had ruined everything for her, and even began to hate him, who, like her father, had a black tail and silver hair.
At first, he was only punished by smashing plates and bowls and not being allowed to eat. This was barely tolerable, as Xiao Ayuan could secretly hide snacks on his own.
But later, his mother went even crazier. When he was seven years old, she cornered him in his room, took out a pair of pliers, and peeled off all his fish scales, piece by piece.
Some fish scales were too deep to be pulled out with pliers, so my mother would pry them out with a steel needle and cut them with scissors.
His countless cries and pleas for mercy could not earn him even a shred of pity from the woman.
In the end, all that was left of him was a bald, bloody tail. His mother then held him tenderly in her arms and gently comforted him.
"Mommy's human baby, Mommy knew you weren't dead. You've come back to find Mommy. Mommy missed you so much. Mommy misses you and your daddy."
Lin Yuan was in utter despair. He desperately wanted to say that he was not a human baby, but a mermaid, and mermaids cannot live without scales.
Mom, I'm your child too. It hurts so much, it hurts so much!
But her voice became hoarse from crying, and she couldn't make a sound at all.
But as he grew older, he was glad that he hadn't made a sound. Otherwise, if his mother had discovered that he wasn't a human baby, she might have violently torn his fish tail in half on the spot to make it look like a human leg.
But most things in this world are often like this.
The more you hope something doesn't happen, the sooner it happens.
