Chapter 49 The Daughter of the Sea
An Zhi curled up in Gu Jinyan's arms for a while and finally relaxed.
"Brother..." An Zhi called softly.
"Um?"
An Zhi grabbed the corner of Gu Jinyan's clothes and raised her head cautiously.
"Is An An... a little monster?"
The cub's voice was as weak as a mosquito's, and his eyes were filled with tears, as if as long as Gu Jinyan said "yes", his tears would burst out immediately.
The adults always look serious.
She can hear sounds that others cannot.
An Zhi told himself that this was wrong and would scare people.
Gu Jinyan's heart ached.
It is obvious that every cub is born to be loved by everyone around him and should be lively and energetic with confidence.
And the An Zhi in front of him looked like a little bird whose wings were wet by the rain.
The supreme blood flows in her body.
He began to hate the person who left An Zhi on the garbage planet.
"An An is not a little monster." Gu Jinyan's voice was low and firm.
His voice was soft, but every word was clear. He was making a solemn oath not only to An Zhi but also to himself.
"An An will never be a little monster. An An is the best An An, and he is my brother's An An."
His gaze fell firmly on An Zhi's head, and he swore to the distant universe, to himself, and to everything that Gu Jinyan cherished - he would never abandon this child.
No matter what happened to her, no matter how she became, he would protect her.
Forever and ever.

Gu Changfeng looked at the two children for a while.
The kids looked like they were about to cry.
Gu Changfeng always felt that the Light Chaser would be submerged by the seawater in the next second.
He clapped his hands to attract their attention.
"Okay, it's break time. Today we're going to watch a movie."
An Zhi moved, stuck his head out, and looked at Gu Changfeng in confusion.
Gu Changfeng snapped his fingers.
The surrounding lights suddenly dimmed. But soon, the ceiling and walls reflected the azure sea, with countless schools of fish swimming among the seaweed and a mermaid princess singing on the rocks.
Gu Changfeng waved his hand again, and several fluffy pillows fell down, and a basket of snacks appeared next to them, all of which were bought on Bibo Star before.
"Come, little Anzhi, this is our interstellar home theater!" Gu Changfeng carried Anzhi to the pillow and sat in the middle.
[A long time ago, in a blue sea of stars, there lived a group of beautiful sea creatures.
There was a curious little mermaid among the sea tribe.
She grew up and, like all little mermaids, secretly floated to the surface of the sea.
Because she heard that there was the largest pearl in the world in the palace on the shore!
The Little Mermaid didn't believe it. In their seabed, only the tears of a true mermaid, as the legend goes, would produce the largest and most beautiful pearls. But the mermaid was their common ancestor, long since vanished. Even she had never seen a pearl so large and beautiful.
The little mermaid was very curious, so she said goodbye to her sisters and came to the palace gate, wanting to go in and take a look.
However, as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by the majestic guard, who told her with a stern face:
"No outsiders are allowed to enter!"
The little mermaid was immediately deflated, but she did not give up and continued to linger at the door.
But she was lucky, because the young prince from the palace was riding out on a tall horse to attend class.
The prince found the clumsy and somewhat funny little mermaid very interesting.
He said to the little mermaid, "Hey! If you can have fun with me, I will let you stay."
The little mermaid was delighted to hear this, but she was also a little embarrassed. She had just come ashore and could hardly walk steadily, let alone ride a horse!
Let’s not talk about the chaos on the racecourse for now.
The little mermaid was very disappointed. She thought the prince was going to drive her away.
But the prince suddenly smiled, and his eyes were full of love as he looked at her clumsy appearance.
He said, "I like you very much! How about this, you stay and be my sword-bearing guard!"
Eh? Wait a minute? How can a mermaid be a sword-carrying guard?
This prince is a little too... well, a little strange.
But no matter what, maybe it was because the prince had no friends of the same age in the palace, or maybe the prince loved the little mermaid too much, or maybe he felt that the little mermaid was too pitiful. In short, the little mermaid stayed in the palace and stayed with the prince.
The prince was going to inherit the throne in the future, so he was always busy. The little mermaid followed him closely and visited every corner of the palace.
But she had never seen the pearl.
The little mermaid quietly asked the palace maids, and they all said they had never heard of any big pearls.
At this time, she and the prince had a very good relationship, so the little mermaid asked the prince:
"Prince, where is the biggest pearl in your palace? I have been searching for it for a long time but can't find it."
When the prince heard this, he was stunned at first, then he laughed.
He said, "Fool, where is the biggest pearl?
That’s just the story we tell our guests.”
The little mermaid opened her eyes wide and asked:
"Are there really no pearls? If there are no pearls, why do you say there are?
And the biggest and best pearl?"
The prince was silent.
They have been together for many years, but the little mermaid is still so naive and curious.
After a while, the prince slowly spoke:
"Because the palace needs this pearl."
The little mermaid didn't understand what the prince said.
She looked at the prince. After so many years, the prince had grown up. He had changed from the little prince who was a little immature and always wanted someone to accompany him to the crown prince who seemed to be able to stand on his own.
The little mermaid was very sad. She sat silently by the window, looking at the sea in the distance and missing her home.
The prince saw that she was unhappy, so he came to accompany her. He told her stories about the shore, the stars in the sky, and his own troubles. Although the little mermaid did not understand many of the prince's troubles, she knew that the prince loved her very much and regarded her as his best friend.
The little mermaid had learned to walk on land and even ride a horse! She discovered that life on land, while not as free and easy as under the sea, was also full of fun. She knew that the prince truly loved her, and she truly enjoyed being with him.
However, whenever the night was quiet, the little mermaid would think of the ancient legend in the depths of the sea about the mermaid's tears turning into pearls.
She found friendship in the palace and learned to grow, but her curiosity about the "legendary pearl" never completely ceased.
She heard that the palace was very busy recently and everyone was preparing for a grand banquet.
After this banquet, the prince will inherit the throne.
