Changji coughed lightly and explained, "Being a merman is a sacred identity for the merman race. It is necessary to ensure that every merman who is no longer pregnant can conceive, and to shoulder the responsibility of strengthening the merman race."
The Merfolk are actually a matriarchal society similar to that of ancient times, retaining primitive behaviors such as fertility worship, partly due to the influence of the powerful external god, the Moon God.
Not only were they bold and straightforward about matters of the sexes, but they also indirectly influenced the yin-dominant and yang-deficient merfolk race.
After arriving on Earth, male merfolk clearly felt their bodies becoming stronger, and the matriarchal society was gradually moving towards gender equality, which was also influenced by Earth's magnetic field.
Although the chieftain's ability to control time is limited, it is still not a problem to influence the flow of time among the merfolk.
It may seem like less than a year has passed on the outside, but ten years have passed in the seabed of the Merfolk, mainly for the Merfolk breeding program.
Male merfolk typically take over a hundred years to mature, but their reproductive system can fully develop within fifty years. Changji and others, due to the fusion of human genes, complete their development even earlier.
After ten years, Changji's total height is now 1.89 meters, while the average height of adult male merfolk is around 2.3 meters. Soon, the merfolk's mating season can begin.
Many female merfolk plan to first conceive with the gentle and mild-mannered Changji, then the wild and unruly Baoping, the third is the wise and intelligent Zixin, the fourth is the orphaned Wenle, and finally the ordinary-talented but brave merfolk Li.
I forgot to mention that only those with two-character names among the merfolk are exceptionally talented. Li, who is ranked fifth, is an ordinary merfolk who only possesses brute strength but has no other talents. The female merfolk only ranked him fifth because of his bulging muscles.
Female merfolk own the children because the children come from their bodies, and during their heat cycle, they do not have relations with only one male. They have complete control over who the father of the child is.
Male merfolk who want to have children need to please female merfolk in order to obtain their own children.
Xing Zhengfei naturally wouldn't understand these things, nor could he have offspring; the future of mutants was still shrouded in a thick fog.
By the afternoon, Xing Zhengfei couldn't sit still any longer: "I want to go back."
Dr. Ai is waiting for him. Once the spaceship is ready, he will pick up the Mutant King and leave Earth.
Thinking of this, Xing Zhengfei's gaze softened as he looked at his brothers: "Alright, take me out to see where you usually live."
Zi Xin frowned: "You probably can't go out openly like this."
Baoping had an idea: "Let's go find Wenle. His illusion magic is amazing; he can disguise people as mermaids."
"But how do we explain the sudden appearance of merfolk? No, let Wenle disguise you as a fish, and we'll take you out to see the world," Zixin suggested.
Changji nodded in agreement.
Xing Zhengfei said, "Then that's settled. Tell Wenle to come over quickly."
“He lives nearby, I’ll go and invite him.”
Changji went out, and soon a mermaid named Wenle followed. He had a good relationship with the three brothers. When he saw the human, he opened his eyes wide and swam around Xing Zhengfei several times: "My sea god, so this is what humans look like."
"Wenle, I'm begging you."
"Leave it to me, my good brother."
There was no singing in words, only the sea providing accompaniment. This was different from the beautiful and intoxicating singing last night. Xing Zhengfei felt his body being pulled and his mind being very tense.
After a long while, the light emanating from Wen Le's palm gradually faded, and his body swayed as Chang Ji helped him up: "It's alright."
Xing Zhengfei transformed into a dark, ugly fish. Fortunately, it wasn't too big, otherwise the female mermaids would have been unable to resist killing it.
The Merfolk are mostly female. The fish that can stay in the tribe and move freely without being hunted are mostly those with beautiful colors and patterns, small and cute. People like Xing Zhengfei should really be careful and avoid them.
The tribe's territory contains many exquisite and enormous seashells, which are also the homes of the merfolk. Those merfolk who can live in the seashells are more capable than those who live in caves.
Giant seashells are rare and hard to come by. Li once broke one open with his bare hands and gave it to a mermaid he liked, winning the favor of many women. This is also a glorious achievement that ranks fifth.
The light on the seabed is not sunlight.
As they arrived at the bustling street, merfolk swam around holding pink seaweed and fish, asking, "Want to trade? Healing seaweed and sweet fish."
Changji traded blue seaweed for sweet fish. Blue seaweed can make the hair of merfolk healthy, and there is a great demand for it.
The sweet fish they received in exchange was fed to Xing Zhengfei.
He's gotten so small now that he definitely needs his older brothers to take care of him, and he's eating bite by bite with his little fish mouth open.
On the way back, they encountered a mermaid dressed in strange black veils. Xing Zhengfei noticed that she wasn't originally going this way, but turned around when she saw Changji and the other three.
She frowned: "I think I smell something strange, like a human but not quite... Could it be this ugly fish?"
"Holy Maiden!" the four called out in unison.
The saintess had just returned from running errands and was on her way to the Hall of Heroes when she was drawn by a strange smell. She only looked up when she heard the shouts: "So it's you."
She swept her gaze across the faces of Changji and the other merfolk with a strange look, then dropped a bombshell: "Actually, you are brothers. Alvin gave birth to more than six children that time."
She couldn't remember the exact amount; the high priest acted quickly, and only the clan leader knew the specific number.
However, nine baby merfolk appeared at the same time. At that time, were there any merfolk in the tribe who were pregnant?
It's obvious who gave birth to him without even thinking. As for why the clan leader did this and forbade everyone to explain, the Holy Maiden didn't want to say more.
