Chapter 98
Xingnuo woke up in a daze, and his tail swung subconsciously, hitting the soft mermaid gauze.
He rubbed his eyes and when he looked up, he saw a group of little mermaids surrounding his shell bed.
The little mermaid held her face in her hands and saw Xingnuo open his eyes, and they all exclaimed.
"He's awake!"
"The eyes of the golden mermaid are actually black!"
"Black is also very beautiful. I declare that I will like black from now on!"
Faced with the little mermaid's enthusiastic chirping, Xingnuo didn't understand anything at all and quickly got up from his little bed.
The red fat fish swam in front of Xingnuo, put its hands on its hips, and confronted the aqua mermaid angrily.
"It must be Lan Xin who moved my crib! You're so annoying!"
The little blue mermaid raised her lips and snorted:
"So what if it's me? Xingnuo would definitely like to sleep next to my little bed!"
Xingnuo was sandwiched between the two little fishes, listening to their childish voices. Although he didn't understand what they were arguing about, he still patted the arms of the two little fishes skillfully.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Little mermaids are all very good babies. Don't be angry."
Xingnuo, who was very experienced in comforting others, said words that the little mermaids couldn't understand, but he looked at them with moist eyes, which made the little mermaids feel embarrassed to continue quarreling.
The little red mermaid took Xingnuo's little hand, became happy again, took him to her own little bed, and pointed out the little bed she had decorated for him.
"Look! My little bed is the most beautifully decorated of all the little mermaids! It's even decorated with beautiful colored gems!"
Xingnuo understood what the little red mermaid meant, and praised her kindly:
"You have a beautiful little bed."
Seeing the praise in Xingnuo's eyes, the little red mermaid couldn't help but show off with her hands on her hips.
Seeing this, the other little fish nearby quickly pushed him aside and pulled Xingnuo over to look at their own little bed.
The little mermaids like to tidy up their own beds. They are not yet adults and have not got their own little houses, so they can only tidy up their own shell beds beautifully.
Xingnuo was pulled by the little mermaids and went to each bed one by one.
In his arms was a bunch of colorful gems given to him by the little mermaid. They were sparkling and glittering, making Xingnuo dazzled for a moment.
Xingnuo temporarily placed the gem on the shell bed that Leah had prepared for him. Seeing the little mermaids chirping around him, he couldn't help but ask:
"Little fish, do you know where the witch is in the sea?"
After thinking for a moment, Xingnuo said:
"Or, do you know which direction Rongcheng is? I want to go back to find my brother and father."
The little mermaids didn't understand what Xingnuo said, and seeing him gesticulating all the time, they thought he wanted to go out and play.
The little red fat fish was the most enthusiastic. It grabbed Xingnuo's arm and pulled him out quickly.
"Let's go play in the coral reef outside!"
Xingnuo was being pulled to run, without even needing to swing his tail, and in the blink of an eye he seemed to be outside.
At the easternmost end of the sea where the mermaids are, there is a colorful coral reef.
This is the favorite place for the little mermaids. They will swim around here, looking for all kinds of beautiful colorful stones like they are treasure hunting.
Sometimes if you are lucky, you may come across a dazzling gem.
The little mermaids took Xingnuo to their "secret base" and introduced the place to Xingnuo enthusiastically and cheerfully.
"This is the green jungle coral, which is full of fluorescent green corals!"
It was very difficult for Xingnuo to communicate with the little mermaids, but the little mermaids didn't mind whether Xingnuo could understand them or not. A group of little mermaids surrounded him, chattering excitedly.
There were noisy sounds all around Xingnuo's ears. His little head felt dizzy for a moment, and he quickly raised his hand to stop them.
"Speak one by one, I can't hear you anymore."
After some talking and gestures, the little mermaids finally understood what Xingnuo meant.
The little red mermaid thought she was the leader, so she stood up and took Xingnuo's hand, motioning him to pick out the crystal pebbles from the coral.
"You can pick out some beautiful stones and gems and take them back to decorate your own bed!"
The other little mermaids also bent down, picked up the small stones, looked left and right, trying to pick out the most beautiful one.
Seeing this, Xingnuo finally understood what the little mermaids meant.
He sighed. Being in an environment where they couldn't speak the same language really made Xingnuo worried.
The little mermaids soon dispersed among the corals. Xingnuo leaned on a bright blue coral, still thinking about how to express his feelings to the mermaids.
Before Xingnuo could come up with anything, he heard a small chirp.
He pushed aside the blue corals and looked down to find a transparent, palm-sized octopus stuck in the corals.
Several of the little octopus' tentacles were entangled in the corals, and it made a weak chirping sound.
Xingnuo leaned over and saw a white jellyfish-like little octopus. He widened his eyes in surprise and went forward to help untie the little octopus's tentacles from the coral.
The little octopus's tentacles were also transparent milky white. It chirped twice and swam in front of Xingnuo.
Xingnuo thought the little octopus was expressing gratitude, so he curved his eyebrows, waved his little hands and said you're welcome.
"Don't go through the corals next time. You have so many tentacles that it's easy to get entangled."
The little octopus looked at Xingnuo with its two small black eyes without blinking.
Several of its tentacles rose up and touched Xingnuo's cheek.
Xingnuo smiled. He had met so many friendly little fish along the way that he was completely unprepared for the little octopus.
"Little octopus, be careful. I'm going back to the mermaid tribe to ask them how to get back to land."
After hearing this, the little octopus floated its tentacles and grabbed Xingnuo's hair.
Xingnuo uttered a cry and stretched out his hand, only to find that the little octopus had already coiled on his head, with several tentacles pulling at his hair, and he couldn't pull it away no matter what he did.
"What are you doing?"
The little octopus seemed to want to say something, but before he could chirp, the voice of the little red mermaid next to him came first.
"Xingnuo! What's that on your head?!"
The little red mermaid swam over and saw the little octopus above Xingnuo's head. She swam forward with surprise and tried to reach out and touch it.
Unfortunately, as soon as the chubby mermaid stretched out her hand, one of the little octopus's tentacles swung down rudely and hit the red mermaid's claw directly.
The little fat mermaid howled instantly, covering the back of his hand that was slapped red by the little octopus, and stared at the little octopus in disbelief.
"It's so fierce! It must be a man-eating octopus!"
The little aqua mermaid also swam over and exclaimed when she saw the transparent white little octopus.
"It's a small transparent octopus. It's rare."
In this sea area, there are all kinds of strange fish, even monster fish that look like monsters on land. They are ferocious and like to roam around in the sea and kill people.
However, the little mermaids didn't take the tiny octopus, which was not even as long as their arms, seriously at all.
The aqua blue mermaid also asked Xingnuo:
"Do you want to take the little octopus back to raise it?"
The patriarch once raised a green turtle, from a tiny creature to a huge one. In the end, the turtle ate too much, so the patriarch let it go.
Xingnuo touched the little octopus on his head that was pulling at his hair, and his little brows furrowed.
"Come down quickly, I can't take you away, I want to go home."
The little octopus chirped and looked at the group of mermaids in front of it, waving its tentacles in annoyance.
Xingnuo didn't understand why the little octopus kept pulling at his hair, so he stretched out his little hand to poke it, but found that he couldn't poke it off. So he just puffed up his little fat and let it stay on his head angrily.
The little mermaids were quite curious and gathered around the little octopus above Xingnuo's head, chirping.
"If you raise a small octopus, you need to feed it a lot of food, right?"
"What do octopuses eat? Do they eat the same food as us?"
The little octopus was annoyed by these mermaids, so he flicked his tentacles and drove them away one by one.
The little mermaids were hit several times by the tentacles and immediately lost interest and swam away quickly.
"That's a fierce little octopus!"
Xingnuo saw the other little mermaids swimming away, and softly discussed with the little octopus above his head:
"Little octopus, can you please come down? Stop staying on top of me."
The little octopus chirped twice and made a faint sound:
"not good."
Xingnuo was surprised for a moment and exclaimed, and wanted to look up at the little octopus, but he couldn't see it, so he had to turn around in place.
"You understand me?!"
Xingnuo, who couldn't speak the language of the mermaid tribe, had an extremely difficult day!
Xingnuo was so surprised to suddenly encounter a little octopus that could speak human language that he didn't care about the octopus staying on his head for a moment.
"You can talk too! Little octopus, do you know where the witch lives?"
The little octopus was too small and its voice was very weak. It seemed that it was very dissatisfied with its current state and had a bad temper.
However, facing Xingnuo, the little octopus still spoke patiently:
"There are no witches at the bottom of the ocean, just a bunch of stupid fish."
Xing Nuo couldn't help but uttered an "ah" and shook his head.
"You can't curse."
Then, Xingnuo said, "What should I do if there is no witch? Should I just swim to the surface of the sea?"
The little octopus swung its tentacles and asked in confusion:
"What are you doing on the sea? You are a little mermaid now and you can't stay out of the water for long."
Xingnuo spoke seriously:
"I'll go to the land and find a way back to Rongcheng."
The little octopus understood what Xingnuo meant, and said to him:
"It's okay, you don't have to look for it. Just have fun in the sea and you will naturally come back when the time comes."
The little octopus didn't say anything more.
Xingnuo didn't understand at all. He hummed in confusion and slowly swam to the back of the coral reef amid the flailing tentacles of the little octopus.
The little octopus used its tentacles to point Xingnuo in a direction.
"Go there, there is a piece of purple fluorite."
Xingnuo swam over obediently, holding a small octopus, and dug out a shiny purple stone from the coral reef.
The little octopus chirped, looking a little proud and cocky.
"It's beautiful, isn't it? I have a whole nest of gems! I'll take you to see it later!"
Xingnuo listened to what the little octopus said and couldn't help but hum. Suddenly he thought of something and smiled.
The little octopus asked him what he was laughing at, but Xingnuo shook his head and didn't answer.
With a light snort, the little octopus swung its tentacles again to help Xingnuo find various beautiful gems.
Xingnuo picked up a lot of them and carried the pile of sparkling pebbles back home, becoming the most popular mermaid among the group of mermaids.
The little mermaids were full of envy as they surrounded Xingnuo, their little eyes shining like twinkling little lanterns.
"You are amazing! You found so many gems!"
"Oh my god, there's even the purple gem I've always wanted!"
