However, Qianyuan suffered a tragic fate.
Osiris took the little guy to an empty guest room and had him let his fishtail out for his father to check.
How exactly did you get through your molting period?
Seeing Osiris's aggressive demeanor, Qianyuan began to feel afraid.
The baby fish is afraid of its father getting angry in this situation, while the big fish is afraid that its father will get angry and abandon it.
Qianyuan obediently placed her tail in her father's hand and nervously explained:
"Really, no, he just used ice water to cool me down..."
Osiris was slightly relieved to find that the little guy's tail was still intact and had not been injured.
He carried Qianyuan into the bathroom and washed her tail carefully again, as if to get rid of all the dirt clinging to it.
"dad……"
Qianyuan's tail was much shorter than Osiris's, so how could he not be considered a small fish? His still immature tail rested against Osiris's long tail, flicking back and forth with the tip raised, revealing Qianyuan's true intention: to cling to his parent and fawn over them.
The short-tailed dog, like a little chubby puppy that had just grown up, circled around a huge, mature, and steady hunting dog, constantly trying to please him, and even secretly hiding its tail under Osiris's tail while taking a bath.
As a result, her father pulled her out and made her continue washing.
But Qianyuan didn't even dare to curse or grumble; she could only feel the washing sensation on her tail as pearls dripped out.
Osiris will have to coax her again:
He's like a clueless dad who doesn't know how to take care of kids, always clumsy and making them cry and throw tantrums.
Seeing the little one crying so pitifully, Osiris could only sigh. He let the little one's tail press down on him and reached out to wipe away Qianyuan's tears, coaxing her:
"Dad is not angry with you, nor does he dislike you."
"Dad just feels sorry for my baby."
Qianyuan held back for a long time, but finally couldn't resist and went straight to the point:
"Dad shouldn't be angry with me. I didn't do anything wrong. Dad should comfort me gently and call me 'good boy'..."
"Dad is a stupid dad."
Qianyuan regained her memories and entered adulthood, naturally remembering things from the past, including those from previous worlds.
Every father has no principles or bottom line when it comes to Qianyuan. Even if they do, they crumble when faced with their child's tears.
It's all thanks to Qianyuan being a good child that she wasn't spoiled by her father.
But he has indeed become "bad" in another way.
He became more spoiled and less able to tolerate being wronged.
Even if the sky were to fall or immense suffering were to befall him before, he could pretend not to see it and keep moving forward. But now, even if there's a small misunderstanding, he'll tell his father.
You should pamper me.
Osiris picked up his baby, his previous anger long since vanished at the cub's words. Now, all he wanted was to return to the seabed as quickly as possible to feed and nurture his fry, even if it meant learning to build nests for them like a female mermaid. If the fry wanted the stars, he would pluck them down from the sky.
"Daddy... you're holding me too tight..."
Even though Qianyuan is a mermaid, she is a more fragile little creature than other mermaids.
They couldn't handle their father's overly enthusiastic hugs.
It still maintains its high attack and low defense character profile.
However, apart from Osiris, no one dared to get close to him, and Osiris doted on him so much that no one else had discovered this.
After all, in front of Osiris, no matter how strong or weak the fry are, they will always be as weak as juvenile fish.
This is the accumulation of immense strength over thousands of years.
So before, those tiny little fish fry were thinking of protecting him, which really charmed Osiris.
How can it be considered a two-way journey between him and his fish fry?
Just like a kitten afraid of water, Qianyuan struggled and was scared when his owner first dragged him into the bathroom, but after he got comfortable in the bath, he would hug his father's tail and fall asleep.
Osiris told him to spread his webbed fingers a little, and the little guy stretched out each of his fingers as if he were showing off his cat's paw pads.
Even Qianyuan's webbed claws are not as long and sharp as those of a mature mermaid. It seems that his bone structure has a kind of roundness and softness, and he looks like he is meant to be held in the palm of your hand and stroked, rather than used as a hunting weapon.
Osiris has an unrealistic view of his cubs, much like a parent who posts online asking if their child would be a good child model. Now that the child is a little older, he thinks the child is so charming that all humans are trying to trick him away.
Moreover, his ideas were actually based on some clues!
Nothing escapes his sharp eyes!
Osiris kissed his baby's fingers to make sure his fry smelled sweet again before he was satisfied and wrapped them in a large blanket.
Mermaids don't actually need to be dried. Their skin can absorb moisture quickly and dries almost on its own as soon as they come ashore. If things like hair are harder to dry, they can do what furry creatures do and shake their fur off.
But despite Osiris teaching the cub for so long, the cub still wouldn't shake its fur, as if he were truly a human transformed.
So every time Osiris finished bathing his cub, he would wrap him in a blanket and dry him off.
It looks more like a freshly baked cake that whets the appetite.
As usual, Osiris suppressed his appetite and looked at Chiyuki's face, which had already fallen asleep comfortably. He decided not to dawdle any longer and would take him back to the sea now.
All the mermaids waited in the shallows for their king, who had endured so much hardship, to return.
Gobert, along with a group of nobles and his subjects, held a welcoming banquet for the king.
As the white figure drew closer, Osiris, who was holding Qianyuan, saw the mermaids, put a finger to his lips, and gently shushed them.
So all the merfolk who were preparing to welcome the king fell silent and offered a lullaby to their newly adult king.
May the king sleep soundly and be happy; this is the mermaids' only wish.
The merfolk no longer need to rely on the king to continue their conquests, nor do they need him to protect their land. The king only needs to be cherished and held in their hands.
The existence of the king guided the direction of the merfolk.
What's more, it's Wang Zai, whom they've raised since he was a child.
All the mermaids looked at Qianyuan with loving eyes, not to mention the previous mermaid kings.
They had clearly been picky about their successors, believing that only those who were powerful enough deserved to be the king of the merfolk.
Their style, though sometimes tough or gloomy, is generally brutal and tyrannical; they'll fight anyone who disagrees.
But the moment the tiny fish appeared beside the king this time, all the former kings who had once been disappointed in the decline of the merfolk all switched sides.
Even now, they are still very curious about the grown fish fry. Before, when Qianyuan woke up, she was immediately sent to land, and they hadn't seen her much. Now, they all gathered around to look at her.
