Osiris narrowed his eyes.
Seeing that the other party did not appear angry or resentful, Shi Wuyai was fairly certain of the situation.
He glanced at the baby fish again, remembering what he had said earlier about Osiris searching for what he sought.
So, have we found it now?
Osiris clearly didn't want to stand on the street and chat with him; he had already shown leniency to these rude humans.
Meanwhile, his incredibly clever little Miaomiao, who can use sound, hasn't received any praise from him yet.
Osiris was eager to rush back and praise the child.
It was only then that Shi Wuyai realized that the fish fry really were fish fry in the literal sense, tiny and short, much like the fish fry that had just been born in their human world.
It turns out that even ferocious mermaids can be this small and frail at times.
As Shi Wuyai stared at the fish fry for a little longer, Osiris's killing intent resurfaced. Startled, Shi Wuyai quickly stepped back.
Even such a powerful alien race, when faced with their cubs being coveted, reacted like a wild beast with its young, desperately protecting its offspring.
If Shi Wuyai had gotten any closer to the cub just now, he might really be dead.
This feeling of walking on the edge of life and death terrified him.
Shi Wuyai only had one life, and he didn't dare to continue the experiment. He could only stand at a safe distance and ask for the other party's consent.
"Sir, may we arrange some guards around your residence to prevent any more fools from bothering you? You can also come to us anytime if you need anything in the future."
Osiris was used to big scenes, but this was the first time he had ever seen so few people sent to guard his goal, especially since their combined fighting strength was less than one of his fingers.
However, since they can understand what we're saying, it doesn't matter if we leave some behind.
Osiris agreed.
He took two steps forward, then suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Shi Wuyai:
Do you have children?
Shi Wuyai: "Huh?"
He stammered as he answered, "I... I'm not married yet..."
Osiris looked at the single guy in front of him, completely oblivious to the fact that he had offended him:
"Then who else will take care of the baby?"
Although Shi Wuyai was heartbroken, he understood Osiris's meaning and arranged for several team members who were married and had children to come over.
They can help look after the children when Osiris is unavailable, and can also suggest more suitable parenting methods for the mermaid fry. Moreover, the research institute has the advantage of turning a blind eye; even if Osiris uses some unconventional methods to raise the fry, as long as the fry are safe, he is right.
The research institute also benefited from this, gaining access to a lot of information about the baby mermaids when they were young.
"I never imagined that one day we could participate in the process of raising baby mermaids..."
The team members were filled with emotion as they watched the soft, tiny creature through binoculars from a distance.
Even several kilometers away, they all wore masks and face coverings because the job of Osiris was so sought after that everyone competed based on their abilities; whoever won got the job.
Those guys with swollen faces all seemed to be doing it willingly.
And in the end, regardless of whether their faces were swollen like pigs' heads, everyone wore masks for the sake of the entire research institute's reputation.
They looked like a dark, stern-faced group of bodyguards, and they actually looked quite convincing.
Although being a research institute employee is not bad, they are willing to die for the mermaid Miao Miao.
Now, the happiest thing for everyone every day is to come and observe the fish fry. Even if they don't hear the ethereal and healing sounds made by the fry, just looking at them seems to heal all their fatigue.
Aside from maintaining his human identity, Osiris spent the rest of his time with the cubs. To others, he seemed to be doing his duty, but only he felt that he still didn't spend enough time with them.
It takes him several hours to get to class.
Every time Osiris went out and saw his cubs waving at him, he felt reluctant to leave.
What should have been a simple act of leaving home has almost turned into a matter of life and death.
He really wanted to bring the fish fry directly to the school, but there were other alien races mixed in there, and those insectoids rarely had offspring. It was hard to say whether they would come and snatch his fry.
So when Osiris is holding his baby and preparing to go out, he will maintain a blank expression on the surface, but in reality, he will wait for the baby to come close to him and be affectionate with him. Only after the baby has been affectionate enough will he go out.
After that, they left the cub at home and entrusted it to the researchers for protection.
Everything was peaceful today, but as the cub was lying at the bottom of the tank as usual, seemingly lost in thought, the sound of fighting suddenly came from outside.
cub: ?
The cub struggled to reach the edge of the tank, trying to see what was happening outside. But the main system, having already determined that humans couldn't resist, took a deep breath and then secretly transformed the cub's tail into two chubby legs, urging it to run.
cub: ...
So Yu Miaomiao hurried along, taking ten-centimeter strides. He rushed for half a day, managing to get from one end of the dining table to the other.
The main system glanced at the situation outside again and said sternly:
"Stop running! Play dead!"
The boy obediently slumped onto the table with a "thud".
The next second, he was lifted up and arrested by a group of men wearing special white uniforms and masks.
"It's a human leg..."
"They're not our cubs, what should we do? Should we let them go?"
"No, we'll trade their cubs for ours! We must get our cubs back!"
