The dark deep sea.
Lingling held the night-shining pearl that gave her a sense of security in one hand, and took her first trophy from Triton's hand with the other hand with a little difficulty.
“Bang!”
"ah!"
The spoils restlessly touched Lingling's little hand, scaring the unprepared little fellow so much that he screamed softly and dropped the small deep-sea fish out.
It turned out that although the fish's brain had stopped functioning, its body was still twitching with muscle spasms, responding to the stimulus with stress.
Tritton cursed inwardly and took Lingling's tender little hand to take a look.
Sure enough, after the tail touched Lingling's chubby little hand, it immediately turned red and showed signs of swelling.
"Ouch, it hurts~"
Xiao Lingling pouted slightly, and her big sapphire eyes instantly became watery and revealed some moisture, and she looked at Tryton with grievance.
Trydon was a little at a loss, and immediately started searching in his space ring.
Where is it? Where is it? Tsk, I haven't used that thing in ages.
Phew, finally found it.
"Lingling, uncle found it. Here, apply this and it will stop hurting in a while." Triton took out a small crystal bottle filled with anti-swelling medicine.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lingling's little hand flashed with green light, and the injured part immediately healed.
"Hey, uncle, Lingling healed herself! Lingling is awesome!"
The little dumpling raised his tender white hands to show off to Triton, who was a beat slower.
There were still tears in her eyes, but an innocent smile was on her little face. She looked so adorable when she showed off.
Triton took back his medicine somewhat embarrassedly and looked at Lingling's little hand carefully.
"It's indeed healed. Sorry, uncle forgot Lingling is also a little tree person." Triton gently rubbed Lingling's head and apologized in a gentle voice.
"It's okay~ Lingling is a mermaid now, it's normal for uncle to forget."
As he spoke, the little fellow happily swung his beautiful little fish tail.
However, after just a few swings, her little tail froze.
"Ah~" Lingling's little face wrinkled and she cried out weakly.
"What's wrong? Lingling." Triton noticed Lingling's abnormality and was a little confused. Wasn't the hand healed?
Lingling pointed to the distance and said with a hint of regret: "Yuyu, it's drifting away~"
It turned out that during the short time the two of them wasted, the fish that Lingling had just thrown out and no one noticed had drifted away with the current.
The pitch-black distance seemed to be another world. The fish had become a dead object again, and Lingling could not detect it even with her mental power.
Triton gently patted her head and said, "It's okay. We'll just catch another one. Uncle will teach you the others while we're at it."
Lingling looked away regretfully: "Well, what a pity, Lingling's first fish is gone~"
"It's okay, just think of it as Lingling treating the other fish to dinner, okay? They may not have had dinner yet." Triton used childish language in an unskilled manner to comfort Lingling.
"Okay!" As expected, Lingling no longer felt any regret after hearing this, and immediately became full of energy: "Then uncle, you can continue to teach Lingling! Lingling can learn everything~"
Triton looked at her proud little face with amusement, but he didn't show it on his face. He said in a low voice, "Then Lingling, get ready. We have a lot to learn next."
......
In the Mermaid Kingdom, on the Crystal Square.
"Lingling, where are you?"
"Treaton?"
"The Mermaid King?"
Thor, Tag and Holly searched everywhere in the palace, alarming Kalinda's family who were waiting silently inside.
"What happened?" Kalinda swam out and asked in confusion, followed by three mermaid siblings who also looked confused.
Thor was not in a very good mood, but he nodded politely to Kalinda and then began to explain.
It turned out that after the Lingling inheritance ceremony was successfully completed, Thor handed Lingling over to Triton for guidance.
As a result, he was holding Huhu, who had escaped from the Mermaid Queen and Sophia with great difficulty. After he finished talking to the two tree people about Lingling's adventures along the way and also told them about Lingling's good deeds among the elves in the Western Continent, he turned around and found that the Mermaid King had run away with his cub.
They didn't see anyone around, and Thor's tracking magic was ineffective in the sea, so they had no choice but to use the stupid method of shouting everywhere.
After hearing this, Kalinda smiled and replied gently, "Don't worry, everyone. Triton must have taken the children to the deep sea for actual combat. He did the same thing when he trained Jeffrey and Jeremy before, often going into the deep sea without even saying hello. He always believed that actual combat was the best way to learn."
Jeffrey and Jeremy who were named: ...That's why I'm even more worried. When their own father trains them, it will cost them their lives.
Sophia, who had never been trained by Iron Blood, looked at her two brothers' unnatural expressions with confusion, and secretly leaned over to ask, "Brothers, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with what Mother said?"
"Nothing is wrong, it's absolutely right." Jeremy, who wanted to reveal the news first, said firmly.
After hearing what Kalinda and the others said, Thor felt a little relieved, but he couldn't help but complain, "That iceberg fish should have been warned. It made me think Lingling was taken away by some deep-sea monster."
Tag and Holly nodded in agreement.
Yes, yes, it was taken away by a bird before, so it is not impossible that it was taken away by a fish.
Kalinda was clearly confident in her husband and comforted Thor, "Don't worry, everyone. They might be back soon. If you want to wait, I'll take you to visit Triton's collection room while we wait. That way, you won't get bored."
As he spoke, he slightly turned sideways to guide the three people and the tiger to one of the rooms in the palace.
......
It is located about 10 to 20 meters below the sea surface.
At this time, Triton thought completely differently from his two sons.
He held a huge night pearl and followed Lingling who was swimming freely.
Originally, he wanted to teach in the deep sea, but the little girl was so afraid of the dark that whenever he put Lingling down from his arms and let her practice on her own, she would stare at him with her big sapphire eyes without blinking, without saying a word, looking so pitiful.
Tritton could neither be scolded nor beaten.
In desperation, he had to take Lingling to teach at a shallower depth where there was a little more light.
This was not enough. Seeing that Lingling had difficulty swimming with the night pearl in her arms, Triton simply put away her small night pearl and took out a huge night pearl, holding it in his arms to provide light for the little one.
"Lingling, you've learned everything your uncle taught you just now, right? Just practice on your own, and then we'll go back."
"good......"
Lingling stopped swimming, raised her little head and stared blankly at the big fish that suddenly appeared in front of her.
"...oh?"
