Chapter 97
Xingnuo was knocked over by the table leg, shaking his head dizzily, and stood up by holding onto the corner of the table.
He swung his tail gently, looked at the little mermaid lying on the ground, and couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Leah.
As Leah was carrying a piece of fish, the new little mermaid was knocked over.
She angrily put her hands on her hips, swam over, separated the little mermaids who were still entangled together, and made them stand in a row.
"How can you be so reckless? What did the Great Elder teach you before?"
The little mermaids, knowing they had done something wrong, stood in a row, shaking their tails guiltily, with their heads down and not daring to look up.
Seeing the pitiful look of the little mermaid, Leia couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay, I'll forgive you this time, but don't be so impatient next time. We mermaids are the most intelligent creatures in the sea, so we must set a good example!"
The little mermaids nodded hurriedly, raised their heads, and looked secretly at Xingnuo, the golden little mermaid in the dark.
A fat little red fish was the first to ask:
"Liya, who is he? Why haven't we met him before?"
Leah swam over to Xingnuo and formally introduced him to everyone:
"This is a wild little mermaid that Ossi met outside. It will live with everyone from now on! The mermaid babies must take good care of the little mermaid and let him get familiar with our place as soon as possible!"
The fat red mermaid nodded, and couldn't help but swim over and surround Xingnuo to watch.
"He's so handsome! His hair and tail are golden!"
Another aqua blue mermaid swam over and stretched out her little hand to touch Xingnuo's hair.
"He is so small, even smaller than the youngest Shui Xin!"
"Is it really a wild little mermaid?"
Xingnuo looked at a group of little mermaids surrounding him, and couldn't help but flick his tail a few times, hiding himself behind Leah who brought him here first.
When Leia saw how dependent the golden mermaid was on her, her heart melted in an instant.
She held her heart in her hands and said "oh" several times in an exaggerated manner.
"Oh my god, the baby mermaid is so cute!"
The little mermaid is the cutest no matter what she does!
Of course, once they grow up, they become super annoying!
Leah held Xingnuo's hand, and knowing that he couldn't understand mermaid language, she used actions to comfort him and touched his head.
"Don't be afraid. It's obvious that the little mermaid has suffered a lot outside."
The other little mermaids also gathered together, poking their heads out curiously, looking at Xingnuo and whispering to each other.
"How did he grow up without a tribe or adult fish to take care of him?"
"It must have come from the mermaid egg!"
"I like his tail. When I grow up, I want to be with him!"
The mermaid community is a group that is naturally obsessed with appearance, and even little mermaids are no exception. They particularly prefer cute-looking mermaids.
Xingnuo had no idea what the mermaids were saying, and the confusion in his eyes never dissipated.
He sighed, and was led by Leah's hand to the table to eat fish fillets.
The sashimi was cut very thinly, like crystal paper, and was arranged by Leah into the shape of petals.
Of course, this is a treatment exclusive to little mermaids. When they grow up a little, they will only be thrown a whole fish. No one will cut the fish into thin slices and arrange it into beautiful flower shapes.
Xingnuo didn't recognize that it was fish fillet. After looking at it for a while, he realized that it was the food that Leah prepared for him.
He quickly waved his hands and shook his head politely.
"I'm not hungry. I had a lot of buns and a bowl of egg custard for dinner!"
Salty vegetarian soup dumplings and fresh egg custard are Xingnuo’s favorite dinner.
Understanding what the little mermaid meant, Leia exclaimed in confusion.
"What's wrong? Is the little mermaid embarrassed? It's okay. The adult mermaids have the obligation to take care of the little mermaids!"
The fat red little mermaid swam over, looked at the fish fillets enviously, circled around Xingnuo, and told him how delicious the fish fillets were.
"This is the most tender and sweetest fish meat! Leah rarely takes it out, little fish brother, come and try it!"
Xingnuo listened to the chirping of the mermaid next to him, looking up in confusion, and probably understood a little bit.
This means letting him eat.
Xingnuo stood there stiffly, opened his mouth, but couldn't refuse, so he picked up a thin piece of fish fillet and put it in his mouth.
The tender fish meat has only a slight sweetness and no fishy smell at all.
Xingnuo, the picky eater, only realized that it was actually fish after he ate the last piece of fish.
And it’s still raw!
"It's not fishy!"
With eyes wide open in disbelief, Xingnuo lowered his head to look at the plate of snow-white meat slices and exclaimed in surprise.
When he leaves, he will take a portion of this fish home to let his brother and father have a taste too!
Seeing surprise in the little mermaid's eyes, Leia touched his little head with heartache and sighed softly.
"The little guy must have suffered a lot outside, and he has never even eaten this kind of delicious fish."
The little fat fish next to it also swung its tail and nodded vigorously.
"Luckily I was born into a tribe, otherwise I wouldn't have the delicious fish slices to eat, how pitiful!"
Xingnuo only ate one piece of fish and then shook his hands again to indicate that he didn't want to eat anymore.
Although the fish meat is sweet and delicious, the sashimi is not in line with Xingnuo's taste after all, so just eat one slice.
Seeing that he really didn't want to eat it, Leia had to share the plate of fish fillets with the other little mermaids who put their little heads close to it with eyes full of expectation.
The little mermaid got a plate of fresh fish, laughed happily, and swam aside with the plate to enjoy it.
Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, Xingnuo swam over to Leah and continued to try to communicate with her.
Unfortunately, the two mermaids, speaking different languages, could not communicate with each other in a logical manner.
When Xingnuo was taken to the mermaid baby's bedroom by Leah, thinking that he was tired and needed to rest, Xingnuo couldn't help but sigh.
He doesn't want to rest!
Kolia insisted on letting him sleep. She opened her mouth and her beautiful voice began to sing, pouring out gentle and pleasant sounds that were very soothing.
Xingnuo was originally in good spirits, but after listening to Leah's singing, his expression began to become dazed, and soon he fell asleep on the small bed.
The merman babies were provided with a pink shell bed covered with soft mermaid yarn and a small crystal ball for lighting.
The other little mermaids also lined up and went to the bedroom, lying down in their own shell beds to sleep.
The fat red little mermaid even pushed her shell bed towards Xingnuo, leaned against him, and lay down to sleep contentedly.
The aqua-blue mermaid snorted softly, and while the little fat mermaid was sleeping, she opened her eyes, pushed his crib away and pushed her own crib next to Xingnuo.
After looking at the golden mermaid sleeping next to her, the aqua mermaid happily lay down on the bed and went to sleep.
Leia watched the little mermaids' little actions but did not scold or discipline them.
Mermaids value freedom and romance. When taking care of little mermaids, adult mermaids will not interfere too much unless the activities may hurt themselves.
Leia used her mermaid singing to lull the little mermaids to sleep, then swam out of the small crystal house to report to the patriarch in the palace.
"The little mermaid has adapted very well, and the other little mermaids are also very friendly to him. I believe that it won't be long before the little mermaid is integrated into the tribe."
The chief nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Leah. I feel relieved to have you taking care of the little mermaids."
Leah's transparent aqua red fish fins and pointed ears moved, revealing a smile.
"I love taking care of the little mermaids!"
The chief called the red mermaid who had met Xingnuo and instructed:
"Ossi, go back to the place where you found the golden mermaid and see if there are any other mermaids that you missed."
The clan leader didn't understand why there were other wild little mermaids wandering around out there.
But the mermaids are a tolerant and united group, especially when it comes to their baby mermaids, and they will never allow other little mermaids to wander outside.
Ossi nodded, took his shell knife and swam out.
After Leah and Osi left, the clan leader and the great elder looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.
"We must teach our tribe members to be careful recently. We cannot let mermaids get lost again!"
The elder forgot to look at the sky above the seabed and closed his eyes. "During this period of time, there have always been human ships coming here. I wonder if they are other monsters in disguise."
The mermaids have always lived in the deep sea, but they also regularly go on expeditions to the outside continents to bring back the latest information.
They knew that there were all kinds of monsters on the outside continent, and more than ten years ago, a species called humans suddenly appeared.
Sometimes conflicts arise between humans and monsters, and injured humans may fall into the sea and be rescued by mermaids.
However, humans are very cunning. The mermaids, who simply had little contact with the outside world, were deceived several times and became wary of this group.
"Our tribe will not participate in the fight between humans and monsters. We should let Osi and the others go out and gain more experience to improve their strength so that they can protect the tribe."
The Great Elder also nodded, but the worry between his brows still remained.
“I don’t know where humans came from.”
Since they were born in this sea, the mermaids knew that the world was divided into continents and oceans.
Most of the monsters on the continent don't like water and have always lived on land.
Powerful monsters have divided up their own territories on land, which humans call "copies".
They, the mermaids, live on the bottom of the sea and are the overlords of the ocean.
The mermaids had only had contact with a gentleman castle owner before. The man was strong and handsome, and he had exchanged beautiful flowers with the mermaids.
The mermaids don’t know much about other monsters, nor do they want to know.
As long as no human comes to them to challenge any dungeons, the mermaids will stay out of their business.
