Several years after the Mermaid King and the Mermaid Ancestor returned together, the Mermaid Clan did not experience any further trouble, because Osiris had left a royal decree before he left, promising to stay with Qianyuan until he brought her home.
So the mermaid throne will continue to wait, waiting for the king's return.
Because the mermaids had returned to their original mysterious state, humans lowered their guard. During one ocean fishing expedition, a human research institute even caught a mermaid.
There will always be greedy people, and there will always be curious people.
The beautiful mermaid, just by appearing in people's sight, immediately captivated everyone's attention with her beauty.
He was asleep with his eyes closed, oblivious to everything, but he was born with the favor of the gods and had a dreamlike face that was more beautiful than any human could imagine.
His white hair fell obediently over his shoulders, long and smooth, like a radiant glow draped over him.
His fish tail was even more stunningly beautiful, with light blue scales on top that shimmered with stardust-like light, and the gradually changing white scales below that were even more lustrous than pearls.
So beautiful that one can't help but want to wake him up and see just how captivating those eyes are, and how perfectly they can transform him into such a wondrous creature.
The initial excitement and exhilaration of the successful hunt quickly turned into silence upon seeing Qianyuan's appearance. Although everyone present was experiencing an adrenaline rush, they remained remarkably silent, staring at Qianyuan with utter fascination and fervor.
They were afraid of waking Qianyuan.
I'm afraid to face the tearful eyes of a beautiful woman.
The group remained silent for a long time before they came to their senses and carefully placed Qianyuan into the cabin to raise her.
Tiny bubbles clung to Qianyuan's eyebrows, eyes, and collarbone, looking less like tears and more like scattered diamonds adorning him.
The human nutrient tanks were far too rudimentary and unbearable for him.
Humans felt ashamed of their own insignificance, yet couldn't resist the urge to grasp such a rare creature.
Qianyuan slept for a long time in the research institute, a full half month, before he finally opened his eyes in a daze and looked around curiously.
The humans who had been supporting and waiting for Qianyuan to awaken suddenly went crazy, rushing to Qianyuan's nutrient pod and gathering together to whisper wildly:
"Sleeping Beauty has finally woken up... God knows how long we've been waiting for this moment..."
"My God, he is so beautiful..."
Countless gazes, some in amazement and others with greed, fell upon Qian Yuan, whose initial bewilderment turned into pride.
These humans have ulterior motives in capturing him.
Instead of releasing him, they kept him in the research institute after collecting his data. Human greed had long been aroused by his face.
So Qianyuan let out a low, guttural cry, a sound of the king's authority and scrutiny.
People immediately covered their heads and screamed in pain.
But the king was also merciful. He only gave these humans a first warning, then fell silent, indifferently lowered his eyes, and refused to communicate with them.
But people are not giving up.
Sometimes, human greed is like this: without paying a serious price, it only makes people more greedy and even more outrageous.
Instead, they were certain that Qian Yuan was soft-hearted and played the victim in front of her. When Qian Yuan tried to get closer to them and reached out her hand, a human grabbed her wrist, pulled her closer, and touched her skin and scales.
Qian Yuan had no choice but to take action, which taught those humans a lesson.
But the simple bloodshed and pain aroused the conquering desires of those humans.
How enchanting it would be if such a powerful and beautiful creature, unattainable and tamed in the hands of humans, were kept as a pet.
Qianyuan was annoyed by these bad guys and even felt a little wronged. When would his father come to find him?
Just as the little guy was thinking this, he discovered that a new researcher had arrived today.
He was tall and imposing, with black hair like snake algae, and his red eyes were rare and deep.
One glance was enough to entice the little guy to swim out and lie down by the pool, his eyes filled with admiration and anticipation for the person who had come.
Osiris sat down and reached out his hand to Chiyuki.
Qianyuan immediately clung to Osiris, snuggling close to him, making a soft, affectionate sound like a cub.
It's so sweet it's almost enough to knock over the sugar jar.
"So clingy."
Osiris whispered beside him.
Qianyuan said, looking aggrieved, "You're even slower than me. I've been waiting for you for so long."
Osiris picked up the mermaid and wrapped her completely in his arms. Her long fishtail wrapped around Osiris's trouser leg, and now Chiyuki could lie in her father's arms and curse these bad humans without worry.
The little guy talked on and on, recounting all the grievances he had suffered recently. Then, seeing his expression, she added quietly:
"Actually, I'm not saying I want my dad to avenge me. After all, they're too fragile; they're just ordinary humans who can die easily..."
Osiris patted his back gently: "I understand. I won't take their lives, I'll just give them a proper punishment."
"But before that, you'll have to wait a little while. I still have something to take care of. Once I'm done, we'll leave."
Qianyuan nodded obediently. Originally, she was like a high mountain flower that could not be touched in front of humans, but now she became a soft and fragile figure, clinging to humans as if she wanted to draw their life force. Her snow-white skin even turned a tempting pink.
This is the thought and perspective of someone spying from the shadows.
He never expected the mermaid to have this kind of attitude in front of the new researcher.
Damn it, what kind of love potion did this human give the merman?!
Upon seeing Qianyuan in this state, the man had a dream filled with boundless affection that night. The beautiful dream made him feel comfortable and ethereal, and he had never felt so good. He could also confirm just how much satisfaction he could gain if he obtained the mermaid.
The mermaid must be his.
Every night when no one is around, the little guy waits for his father to come see him. Osiris will bring him some interesting human gadgets, and sometimes some delicious snacks.
Although Osiris felt sorry for Qianyuan, Qianyuan was actually very happy. Even though she was locked up here, she felt extremely satisfied and happy with her father by her side.
Snacks only taste good when I'm with my dad, time only feels precious, and he only brings me happiness.
Even though Chien-Yuan lives on a magnificent throne, he can only experience endless loneliness without his father.
The little guy happily snuggled with his dad until he was satisfied, then went back to sleep. He was half asleep when he noticed that his dad seemed to have returned.
The little guy squinted as he floated to the surface, tilted his head, and lay down by the pool, asking in a sweet, soft voice:
"What's wrong? Can't sleep?"
But "Dad" didn't answer; he just stretched out his hand.
Qianyuan instinctively hugged him, only to realize that the person had an unfamiliar aura.
"you……"
Before Qianyuan could say anything else, she was given an anesthetic injection in the side of her neck by humans.
