On the calm sea, a white seabird hovered above the surface, ready to take off.
“Wow!”
An adult male mermaid with blue hair and golden eyes suddenly broke out of the water. His blue tail sparkled in the sun, and his unique aura scared the seabirds so much that they fled in panic.
He first tilted his head to look around, then released his mental power to explore, and after making sure that there was no one around, he shouted towards the bottom of the sea.
"Come out, there's no one around."
The next second, several heads appeared on the sea surface. The owners of the heads looked around worriedly, and only after confirming that there was no one around did they feel relieved and completely exposed half of their bodies.
Thanks to the water-repellent beads, Thor's long silver hair did not get wet. He stretched out his hand to brush the hair hanging on his chest behind him, then turned around to look at the two sisters who were reluctant to leave.
Lingling still maintains the form of a little mermaid, nestling in Sophia's arms, and is being close to her sister Sophia.
The little one hugged Sophia with her tender arms, her voice full of reluctance: "Sophia, Lingling is going home. Don't let the bad guys catch you again. Lingling will be worried."
Sophia also hugged the little girl's warm body tightly and refused to let go.
She kissed Lingling's tender little face and assured her, "Lingling, don't worry. I'll be careful next time and won't get caught again. But..." She stole a glance at Thor and the two tree people and added, "Since Lingling can transform into a mermaid, she's one of my people. If possible, you should come back to see me more often."
Behind Sophia, the two brothers Kalinda and Jeffrey Jeremy, who were eavesdropping silently, nodded in agreement.
"Okay!" Little Lingling stared at the mermaid family with her clear and bright blue eyes, patted her chest and promised: "Don't worry, Lingling will definitely come. Lingling also wants to eat some tender little fish~ Hehe"
The little guy smiled very sweetly, with dimples appearing and stars twinkling in his eyes, which made people laugh.
Sophia couldn't help but smile softly, her sadness at parting lessening a bit. "You little glutton, are you here to see me or to eat fish? But I'll definitely prepare lots of delicious food for Lingling, so that if I can't fill your little tummy, you'll end up a flat little mermaid."
"Next time there's a chance, let the brothers bring some food to Lingling to satisfy your craving."
As he spoke, he reached out and gently poked the little guy's soft belly.
The little guy was ticklish and dodged away with a giggle. For a moment, the sea was filled with the little guy's silver bell-like laughter.
......
Ten minutes later, Triton, Thor and others came out from behind some huge reefs on the coast, having straightened their clothes and taken care of their appearance.
Yes, on this return trip, Triton has decided to travel with the Elf King Thor and two tree people. They are going to investigate the matter of the demonic energy in detail.
Before coming to the surface of the sea, Triton had personally buried the three skeletons of his own people and explained everything to Jeffrey's two brothers and his wife.
While he was away, he asked them to help manage the mermaid kingdom and train his twin sons. If there was anything, they would pass information to him through the crystal ball.
After changing their clothes, several men looked at the calm sea boredly for about ten minutes.
Seeing that the women hadn't made any movement, Triton couldn't help but ask, "Sophia, Kalinda, have you helped Lingling change her clothes?"
"Lingling is okay!" The uncles only heard a baby voice, and then saw a little sun rushing towards them.
In the warm morning sunshine, the energetic Lingling was jumping around in the new clothes that the mermaid queen Kalinda had prepared for her since she met her. She was as cute as a little angel.
She was wearing a light yellow cotton short-sleeved shirt with a circle of nimble little fish carefully embroidered on the cuffs and collar. There was also a light pink bow on the collar of the shirt, which jumped up and down as Lingling ran, adding a touch of playfulness.
The lower body is matched with a pair of light yellow cotton shorts that go above the knee. The legs of the shorts are embroidered with a few small saplings with green silk thread, giving people a lively and cute feeling.
Lingling was wearing a pair of blue sandals that revealed her fair and tender little toes. The uppers of the shoes were dotted with tiny colorful pearls that sparkled in the sunlight.
Sophia and Kalinda did not tie or braid Lingling's hair, but simply pinned it with pearl hairpins to prevent the clumsy men from giving Lingling some weird hairstyle.
"Ding ding ding ding~ Uncles, Lingling looks pretty, doesn't she?"
In the sunshine, Lingling ran happily around the uncles, and from time to time she moved closer to the mermaid twins in the water, vowing to show each of them her new look, smiling so hard that her teeth were showing.
"It looks good!" several uncles said in unison.
"But, Lingling, why don't you wear your little skirt anymore? Uncle saw that the little skirt you wore this morning was pretty good-looking." Tag said with some confusion while holding Huhu.
"Awoo~? (Yeah~ Why did it change?)" Huhu jumped out of Tag's arms, circled around Lingling twice, and responded.
Lingling let her friends circle around her, happily touching the pearl hairpin on her head and thinking for a while, she said, "Because Lingling is a girl, and the uncles are uncles~"
Everyone was stunned, and then they understood - gender differences.
Sophia was here on the way here before, so she could handle any inconveniences. Now...
Trydon even took a special look at the array of food, clothing, and daily necessities his wife had stuffed into his space ring. He couldn't help but admire his wife's attentiveness.
Because all the people who went back to take care of Lingling were men, Kalinda and the others thoughtfully changed the little girl's skirt into clothes to avoid inconvenience. Even her hairstyle was kept minimal. Fortunately, the little girl was cute and looked adorable without any complicated outfit.
Thor nodded in agreement and took the little one's hand with his bony hand. "Your aunt and sister are very thoughtful. Lingling, say goodbye. We're leaving soon."
"Aunt Kalinda, Sister Sophia, and Brother Jeffrey and Brother Jeremy, bye. Lingling will come to see you again."
"Goodbye Lingling~"
"Goodbye, baby, come again~"
Because she didn't want to make everyone worry, Lingling acted particularly casually. After shouting in one breath, she turned around and walked away with Thor, her head down.
Only Thor, who was holding her hand, keenly noticed that the little girl's eyes were slightly red.
Thor didn't say anything, but just signaled the others to follow with his eyes.
In the sunshine, several tall and straight men walked beside the small, chubby little guy in the middle in a protective posture. A tiger cub in front turned around from time to time to look back at his little friend.
There is still unknown ahead.
