At this moment, the mermaid turned her head and looked tenderly at Gu Keke who was standing beside her. She said softly, "Child, can I hug you?"
At this time, Gu Keke, who was tightly hugged by Liao Juan, seemed a little at a loss.
She first raised her head slightly and looked at Liao Juan beside her with her big watery eyes.
Liao Juan felt Gu Keke's pleading gaze and quickly asked, "Keke, grandma wants to hug you. Are you willing to let grandma hug you?"
After hearing Liao Juan's question, Gu Keke hesitated for a moment.
Her small lips pursed slightly, and her eyes fell again on the mermaid grandma in front of her with a kind smile on her face.
After some inner struggle and thought, he finally nodded timidly and replied in a low voice: "Okay..."
After getting permission, the mermaid grandma immediately smiled happily, and the wrinkles on her face were smoothed out by this happy smile.
She slowly stretched out her arms, took Gu Keke from Liao Juan's arms, and then held her in her arms.
The mermaid grandmother held Gu Keke in her arms, looked down at her delicate little face, and asked with a smile, "Your name is Keke, right?"
Gu Keke nodded obediently, "Yeah."
"Coco is such a cutie."
As she spoke, she placed a slightly old but still warm and strong hand on Gu Keke's red fish leg.
Just as the mermaid grandma's hand touched Gu Keke's fish leg, a soft light suddenly flashed.
Immediately afterwards, the red fish scales that originally covered Gu Keke's legs began to gradually fade away.
Instead, there is a pair of beautiful legs as white and delicate as mutton-fat jade.
"I have legs again?!" The mermaid grandmother looked at her newly grown feet with surprise and laughed excitedly: "Hahaha... This is only temporary. You must awaken your bloodline before you can transform into legs again."
Mu Jin, who was standing nearby, was filled with confusion upon hearing this. He quickly asked, "Grandma Mermaid, why did Coco have feet from the beginning, but now needs to awaken to have legs again?"
Grandma Mermaid smiled and explained to Mu Jin: "
At the beginning, her mother specially fed her a high-grade transformation pill before taking her away from here.
This elixir is extremely precious and can allow mermen to temporarily transform into human form, allowing them to live a normal life on the mainland like ordinary people."
At this moment, Liao Juan, who had been listening silently, suddenly interrupted with a hint of dissatisfaction and resentment in her tone: "Then why are they, as Keke's biological parents, so cruel as to abandon Keke?"
Although Gu Keke seldom mentions her biological parents, her adoptive mother...
Liao Juan knew very well that being abandoned by her parents was always a pain and knot in Gu Keke's heart that she could not let go of.
After hearing Liao Juan's question, the mermaid grandmother slowly turned her gaze to Gu Keke, whose eyes were slightly red and her expression was gloomy, and she couldn't help but sigh softly.
Then, she looked at Gu Keke with eyes full of love and pity, and said softly, "I'm sorry for making you suffer, child... Actually, there is an unknown story behind this. It was eight years ago..."
At that time, the mermaid queen had just experienced the pain of childbirth and was extremely weak.
However, fate showed no mercy to the new mother.
On the next night, the Demon Elder led a group of demon monsters and quietly crossed the waves from the Demon Island to the Mermaid Island.
Faced with this sudden attack, although the Mermaid Queen was extremely weak, she knew that she had the responsibility to protect her people.
So she gritted her teeth, forced herself to stand up, and without hesitation led her people to resist the crazy attack of the demons.
The battle was extremely fierce, with shouts and cries intertwined.
After an arduous and fierce battle, the Mermaid Queen successfully repelled the invading demons.
What's worse is that during the post-war investigation, it was discovered that there was a terrible traitor hidden in the clan!
This traitor secretly passed on the news that the mermaid queen had just given birth to a child to the demons, thus leading to this disastrous night attack.
Fearing that the demons or traitors would make a comeback, the Mermaid Queen made a difficult decision on the spur of the moment.
She ordered her younger sister to take the young Gu Keke and flee the place quickly.
Even if Mermaid Island eventually falls, as long as the bloodline inheritance can be preserved, there will still be a chance to revive Mermaid Island in the future.
After listening to the fishman grandmother's narration filled with grief and helplessness, Gu Keke's tears burst out like a flood.
"Then...then what happened to my mother?"
