Early in the morning, after a delicious breakfast, Lingling and her group said goodbye to Kalinda and the others.
The energetic little one with a full belly refused to let any uncle hold her. She was alone, surrounded by uncles, holding one of her front paws and swimming at a moderate speed towards the crack in the seabed where she had been last night.
"Awoo~ (Lingling, why don't you let me swim by myself?)" Huhu was swimming with Lingling holding a tiger paw. He felt a little depressed and felt a little bit embarrassed.
"Huhu?" Lingling swam with the uncles and turned to look at Huhu. A hint of disdain was hidden in her blue eyes. "Huhu, you can't do it. You can't swim fast enough to keep up with the uncles."
Huhu's icy blue eyes instantly filled with fighting spirit, and he replied unwillingly, "Awoo—" (Lingling, you can't think I can't swim fast just because I don't have a fish tail. I have a tiger tail!)
Because they weren't swimming very fast, Tag could clearly hear Lingling chatting with the cub, so he couldn't help but ask, "Lingling, how about we hold you and swim with you? Are you tired if you swim at our pace?"
Holly behind Tag had a subtle expression: You cunning tree man, what you mainly want to say is that you are not used to swimming too slowly, and you want to swim faster while holding Lingling.
"Lingling is not tired, Lingling can go even faster." The little mermaid Lingling shook her head and swung her tail quickly a few times, looking like she was going to make a name for herself.
Lingling wasn't lying. After inheriting the heritage of several different races, especially the orcs, her physical fitness had improved significantly. However, her soft and well-behaved appearance always made the adults think that she was weak, helpless, and easy to bully.
Thor, who was at the back, was a little confused and couldn't help but raise his voice and ask, "Lingling, uncle always felt that you were a little too excited this morning. Did anything happen in your room that made you particularly happy?"
"Yes~ When Lingling woke up and opened her eyes, she saw her uncle, aunt and sister~" The implication is, isn't this worth being happy?
Thor was a little confused by the little guy's sudden guzzle of magic potion, but he managed to keep his sanity and continued to ask, "Ahem, this uncle knows, besides this?"
Seeing that Uncle Sol wanted to chat with her so much, Lingling simply took Huhu and swam to his side.
Oh, uncle can't live without Lingling~
As a result, when she changed the formation, the others followed suit.
Triton, Tag, and Holly: Don't try to whisper behind our backs.
Lingling looked at the uncles who were suddenly approaching and swimming forward as if nothing had happened with some confusion. She was stunned for a second or two, and then she couldn't help but giggle.
"Hehe~ Uncles, do you all want to know? Well~ Lingling will tell you~" Lingling smiled playfully: "Because - Lingling wants to eliminate bad guys and help everyone she likes."
None of the uncles expected Lingling to say that. Triton joined the conversation and asked, "Does Lingling already know what the uncles are going to do?"
Lingling nodded her head: "Yes, Lingling is so smart, how could she not feel bored?"
Bai Jiu: Oh~ It’s hard to control a grown-up child. Actually, I saw last night that she was really thinking about what you discussed. In order to let the little girl sleep well, I went over the whole thing with her.
Of course, Triton didn't know about Bai Jiu's existence. He just thought that the little guy was so smart, and the idea of snatching the baby reached its peak in an instant.
Such a smart kid, it's a waste to follow Thor.
Saul: Are you polite?
......
Just like that, they chatted with Lingling all the way until they finally reached the vicinity of the crack on the seabed.
The expressions of the adults gradually became serious, and Triton also deliberately stopped a few hundred meters away from the crack in the seabed.
Lingling saw her destination and finally let poor Huhu go. She carried Huhu, whose tail was swinging so hard that it was almost leaving an afterimage, to Tag and Holly for temporary care.
"Uncle Tag, Uncle Holly, please keep an eye on Huhu~ Lingling is going to fight monsters!" After saying that, he smiled sweetly at the two of them and swam towards Thor.
"Uncle Thor, let's go. Uncle Triton and the others seem a little afraid of that black thing." The little dumpling patted his chest and vowed to protect his "weak" uncles.
Thor's serious expression almost faltered, and his tone was tinged with jealousy: "Lingling, I'm afraid of your Uncle Thor too."
Lingling paused while lifting her skirt, raised her little head, and carefully examined Thor's expression. Hesitation showed on her face as she said weakly, "Then? Then Lingling will go alone? But Lingling is also a little afraid of the dark, just a little bit."
She was so confident on the way because Uncle Bai said that Uncle Sol could also clean up the bad things, and she was not afraid with someone accompanying her.
"Besides, uncle, don't you know some powerful magic?" Lingling swam over and tugged at the corner of Thor's clothes, looking at him with puppy eyes.
Thor was stunned by Lingling's eyes and felt guilty. He regretted saying that without thinking.
The two tree people, Triton and Holly, also stood in the same camp as Lingling, staring at Thor with unfriendly eyes.
Especially Triton, who knew how afraid Lingling was of the dark, so he directly and bluntly said, "You're being too jealous. Apologize quickly."
Thor knew he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly picked up Lingling and sincerely admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Lingling, uncle was just joking. Uncle just had a brain seizure. Uncle is not afraid of the dark. Uncle will go with Lingling. Don't be sad~"
Lingling's anxious expression gradually relaxed. She placed her warm little face against Sol's handsome face and comforted him, "It's okay, uncle~, Lingling forgot to tell you. Lingling will protect me too. It doesn't matter if uncle is afraid of the dark. Lingling will protect you!"
The little one can become a strong and fearless adult for the people who love her.
Before, she could endure those horrific human experiments in the laboratory because of Bai Jiu's constant encouragement, and now she can become not afraid of the dark because of Uncle Thor's care.
"Lingling knows that it was Uncle Thor who helped Lingling turn into a mermaid. So, uncle, don't doubt it, Lingling will definitely love you too, Mua~" The little girl gave Thor a loving kiss.
Thor felt more and more guilty after hearing what the little guy said. The warm kiss made the usually high-handed Elf King hug Lingling tightly and refused to let go: "No need, uncle will protect you. No matter what happens, uncle will definitely protect you!"
After saying that, he nodded to the others, then swam towards the crack in the seabed with Lingling in his arms.
Triton and his companions only saw the two people walking away gradually covered with a silver-white light.
The light became brighter the closer it got to the crack.
Brighter and brighter——
Brighter and brighter——
It was as if - to completely tear apart the black air in front!
