"As expected of mermaid genes, it has a very beautiful tail."
"Oh, he doesn't seem to have entered his prime yet, how can he still be so cute?"
"What a sweet little thing."
A group of beautiful women surrounded the little beauty, whispering among themselves, and sometimes even touching Qianyuan's face.
Osiris was getting impatient.
They directly shattered their spirits.
"That's enough, I'm taking my baby home now."
Osiris then took Qianyuan back to Atlantis.
Chien was placed by Osiris in the palace where the previous kings had lived.
Osiris oversaw the construction of this place, so he was extremely familiar with every plant and tree here.
But now Osiris has no desire to reminisce about the past. Back then, all he knew was killing, killing, killing. It's nothing compared to the significance of raising ribbonfish fry now.
Osiris gently carried Qianyuan to the large bed specially made for him and lay down on it as well. The little guy's tail seemed to have a tracking system installed on it. Sensing his father's presence, it took the initiative to wrap itself around the tip of his father's tail.
Qianyuan's tail couldn't wrap around her father's big tail at all, but Osiris would tolerate his child getting close, and even when Qianyuan was asleep and unaware, he would use his fish tail to hook Qianyuan's tail and then wrap the whole fry in his arms.
It's always better to sleep at home than outside. Qianyuan slept soundly for a whole day and night, so much so that Osiris was about to call the police before she finally woke up.
The doctor was beside him, speaking to Osiris:
"The king's health is poor, much weaker than that of other mermaids, so he is easily injured in any accident. We must take good care of him."
Osiris responded and turned to see his child open his eyes. Before he could even open his mouth, several heads squeezed in from the side.
They are the Mermaid Kings.
Then all the merfolk knelt down before him:
"Your Majesty, the Lancet family sends their greetings."
"Your Majesty, the Goliath Gobert family sends their greetings."
"..."
Osiris was momentarily speechless. By the time he finally managed to get a word in edgewise, Gobert had already swum up and pushed Osiris off the boat.
"Your Majesty, I have the following points to make regarding your coming-of-age ceremony..."
The mermaid kings also chattered incessantly in front of Qianyuan:
"Little fish, every king must choose one of the previous kings as his teacher to learn how to rule, fight, and lead the merfolk to a more prosperous future. Who do you plan to choose as your teacher?"
Qianyuan had just woken up and was still groggy, not knowing what she was doing. Her mind hadn't quite cleared up yet, so she didn't nod in agreement to anything. Instead, the mermaid kings pinched her cheeks and sucked on them for a while.
Even Gobert knelt down again beside his fishtail.
Osiris now understands that these guys know they can't defeat Osiris alone, so they plan to band together to express their dissatisfaction with Osiris monopolizing the throne.
The king was originally the king of the entire mermaid race. How could he be treated like a precious treasure by Osiris?
If it weren't for the strong presence of Osiris's fish tail, they probably would have already thought Osiris was a mermaid trafficker.
But now that the king has grown up, Osiris, no matter how much of a guardian fish he is, cannot stop the coronation ceremony from taking place.
Qianyuan had shouldered the responsibilities of a king, but he had never been a king. He subconsciously looked for his father's figure.
As soon as Qian Yuan approached him, Osiris could sense it and nodded to her.
So Qianyuan agreed.
But he didn't expect that the coming-of-age and coronation ceremonies mentioned by the merfolk were actually two ceremonies in the literal sense, not the simplified version that Qianyuan had suggested.
Even though Qianyuan's face could hold its own in any situation, it was still completely different from his original beliefs.
These mermaids are like evil dragons guarding a treasure; they love everything shiny and sparkly, and they decorate everything in an extremely elaborate and ornate way.
Moreover, given that their king is so handsome, and among the many beautiful women in the mermaid race with their discerning aesthetic standards, Qian Yuan is uniquely beautiful, the mermaids will dress him up even better and try their best to make him into a Christmas tree that they can show off.
Qianyuan: ...
Even though he had lived in palaces and served as a prince before, none of them had ever been as exaggerated as this.
Or perhaps the mermaid race's aesthetic sense is just too morbid.
Qianyuan emerged from a row of clothes and searched everywhere for Osiris, but she was intercepted by several mermaid kings halfway through her search.
"Miaomiao, you still haven't decided who your teacher is? Do you prefer a strict one or a gentle one?"
The fish fry remained silent; they had long been traumatized by this chaotic scene.
Moreover, the mermaid kings are all ruthless and cold-blooded characters, used to being dictatorial and powerful, leaving Qianyuan no room to breathe.
They surrounded Qianyuan immediately. The little girl took a step back in fear and fell into the arms of one of the beautiful red-haired mermaids.
Does Miaomiao like me more?
He put his large arm around the fish fry's shoulder, petting and rewarding it as if he were teasing his beloved cat.
Qianyuan was no match for the battle-hardened merman kings; she was defeated before she could even utter a word. Her fishtail curled up in mockery, and she was even praised for being cute by her senior.
The other kings were getting closer and closer, almost too close.
They've always been used to doing things their own way, and they've never heard of or cared about boundaries or human social etiquette.
One of the kings asked him, "Or does Yu Miao want us all to be your teachers?"
Qianyuan was forced into a corner and was about to agree with tears in her eyes.
Thankfully, he was rescued by his father the next second. Osiris held Chiyana in his arms, and for the first time, his fishtail stood completely upright, a sign that he was entering his full attack mode.
“If you keep pushing him, I’ll go to the burial ground and grind all your bones to dust.”
Osiris made a firm decision: "I am the father of the fry, and I must also be the fry's teacher, friend, guide, and protector. I am everything to him!"
“I will raise him, I will teach him, I am willing to give him everything I have, even my spirit, he is just my fry!”
"You don't have one? Then find another one yourself!"
This was the first time Qianyuan had seen her father so fierce. His previous hunting and chasing were child's play. When Osiris truly became a malevolent ghost, ready to stain everything with blood, he lost all trace of humanity and exuded a strong sense of wild beast.
Vicious, ruthless, and brutal.
He could be described by any term related to war and hunting.
However, Qianyuan was not afraid of her father. In order to comfort Osiris, Qianyuan pretended not to see the scales on Osiris's face and his vertical pupils, and just kept snuggling into her father's arms.
