These little mermaids, the two that took over Long Xun's embrace, the male one with a red tail but with a light gauze-like side fin, light red eyes, looks very gentle, quite like a military fish, and is soft like a baby, is the offspring of Jiu Xiao and Dong Jun, and like Dong Jun, has a rather cool name, Yu Wang.
The other little female mermaid, slightly older than him, is Ajiao, the child of Kasai and Wenmi. She inherited her mother's pink tail and adorable big eyes. Unfortunately, this usually cute little girl also inherited her father's inability to speak, and her words are enough to drive any fish crazy.
Leng Xiang Jiu Li's children are twins. One, named You Xi, inherited Jiu Li's heterochromatic eyes and gradient tail. The other, named Ye Zi, resembles neither of the two mermaids; instead, he looks like a deep-sea mermaid—dark-skinned with an excessively long and stiff tail. Due to their polar mermaid lineage, both children have snow-white skin, light-colored, slightly transparent eyes, like they're covered in ice, and silver-white hair. Their personalities are quite different: one with heterochromatic eyes always wears a harmless, innocent, lamb-like smile, it's unclear who he resembles; the other often glares fiercely and roars at people and is prone to going berserk, just like his father, Jiu Li.
As for Xi Huayue and Ye Ling, their child is currently an egg, which is being slowly hatched by Xi Huayue.
The merfolk each had their own work, except for Long Xun, who rarely interfered in the affairs of the merfolk and was quite leisurely. Ever since decades ago, when Ai Qi, still a cub, was hastily brought to work by her unreliable father and tossed into Long Xun's arms, revealing to everyone that the unapproachable dragon could be a little gentler with children, aside from dealing with A Chen…
The once-powerful dragon has now become a stay-at-home dad. His unreliable friends entrust their children to him without worry, telling him to pick them up after get off work.
It's like a mermaid world version of a hosting center.
The mermaid cubs blinked their colorful eyes, listening intently to Long Xun's story; a few of the more sentimental ones were already in tears.
"Uncle Long... Uncle Lan Che is so pitiful... In the end, did you save him?" Youxi asked Long Xun expectantly.
“Definitely not. That mermaid from the divine realm killed so many mermaids; he deserved to die.” Ah Jiao said, then looked at Long Xun: “Uncle, am I right? Was that what you thought back then?”
Aiqi glanced at Youxi, whose eyes were red and whose little mouth was pouting as if she was about to cry after being silenced by Ajiao's words, and sighed slightly, saying, "Ajiao went a bit too far. The divine mermaid has done a favor for the mermaid race. If it's not a misunderstanding, he is still a hero."
"I think, although it's pitiful, it's unfair to the mermaid if he doesn't die. So, his merits and demerits are balanced..." The Emperor's gentle yet steady and powerful soft voice rang out as he expressed his opinion.
"To be honest, whoever invades us, who cares? We'll beat them into submission first!" Ye Zi waved her little fists and started dancing around, almost tipping herself over. Long Xun caught her with his tail just in time, preventing her from getting hurt.
The little ones have already learned to think for themselves, and when they grow up, they will take over the responsibilities of their parents.
This is how living beings are passed down from generation to generation.
Long Xun's cold, indifferent voice rang out softly after they finished their discussion: "What you said is both right and wrong."
He first looked at Youxi and asked, "Have you considered what will happen to Lan Che if I save him?"
He was a hero, but ultimately his honor was ruined. If he is saved, will he return to the Mermaid Clan or continue to be the Sea King?
If he goes back, how will he conduct himself? Can he continue to be the Sea King?
Moreover, Lan Che had the strength to hold up the Shield of Time to block the wind from the heavens before he died, so how could he turn into bubbles in just a few words?
That's because it was his own choice.
Long Xun then looked at A Jiao and said calmly, "No one in this world deserves to die like this."
Then he looked at Aiqi and Yuwang: "The grace of the divine mermaid resurrecting the mermaid has nothing to do with the hatred of Lan Che attacking the mermaid."
Glory belongs only to oneself, created by one's own hands, not inherited.
Just as the little ones were deep in thought, the door to Long Xun's room at the daycare center... uh, suddenly opened, and Yin Chen and the others filed in, instantly making the room lively.
The little ones excitedly jumped into their parents' (fathers') arms and greeted them happily. Lanqi, Kasai, Dongjun, Lengxiang, and the other fish who had been sent to pick up the children thanked Long Xun one by one. After chatting for a few minutes, they were quickly chased away by Yin Chen.
Now, Yin Chen looks several years older than he did a hundred years ago, almost identical to how Qin Shi Huang looked a year before his death.
Yes, the Qin Emperor, this old mermaid who lived for over nine thousand years, died of his own guilt after the war ended. The other ancient mermaid who succeeded him was just a minor character who would never appear, so his name didn't matter.
Beneath Lan Che's barrier of time, those who attacked, besides Leng Xiang and Jiu Li, including Dong Jun Yin Chen and Jiu Xiao, all showed varying degrees of aging. Dong Jun and Jiu Xiao were relatively fine, as they were already young and the aging process wasn't obvious. However, Yin Chen had previously expended a large amount of his life force, and this aging accelerated his life process even further.
Even though Yin Chen now looks more mature and handsome, with a strong and powerful golden fishtail and a body full of streamlined muscles, both Long Xun and Yin Chen know that he is nearing his limit.
Yin Chenyou came over to tidy up the mess the kids had made, and Long Xun got up to help him silently.
A century of mutual support has not made them cold towards each other, but rather has made them more tacit and warmer.
