Xiao Qi's fierce yet adorable appearance didn't annoy people; instead, it amused many.
The children surrounded her even more enthusiastically: "Your Majesty, may I touch it?"
"I promise I won't hurt them!"
"Your Majesty, I have realized my mistake. Pulling out hair hurts, and plucking out feathers must hurt too. We certainly will not harm them."
"Let's touch them gently."
"Your Majesty, I beg you!"
"Your Majesty, please!"
The children started to act cute.
Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment, then couldn't hold it in any longer and covered her mouth, giggling, "Okay, okay, then you can't pluck my fur, understand?"
"We will absolutely not pluck the feathers!"
We will keep our promise!
"Your Majesty, you must trust us!"
Xiao Qi waved his little hand and said dashingly, "I agree! Come on, I'll take you to pet the peacock!"
The children had a blast, and although the adults couldn't touch the peacocks, capturing photos of their kids interacting with the animals was enough to keep them busy all day.
Even when the zoo closed, they were still reluctant to leave.
"They're just closing down like that?"
"I wish I could live in the zoo forever."
"I wonder what surprises await us tomorrow!"
"We've seen the dragon, we've seen the phoenix, what else is there to save for last?"
"I have a feeling that Xiaoqi is holding back a big surprise."
"My little chubby son just asked the kid king, and the kid king told him that the seventh day is the grand finale, featuring a magical animal that has never been seen before."
What could it be?
"I'm so impatient, I hope tomorrow comes soon."
Besides the tourists who left the zoo due to its closure and were filled with anticipation, there was also a surge of excitement online, with the zoo trending on social media, appearing prominently on major websites, and being featured at the top of various short video apps...
Tonight, countless people are too excited and expectant to sleep. Meanwhile, the children who played wildly during the day are sound asleep, while others, having played so wildly, have drawn maps on their sheets in the middle of the night, leading to another chaotic morning.
Xiao Qi yawned and shouted, "Sea King!"
Aquaman leaped out of the water, his tail splashing water droplets that shimmered with iridescent colors under the sunlight.
"It's your turn to perform today, are you nervous?"
Aquaman shook his head, his eyes full of wisdom.
Spending every day with Xiao Qi, smelling her pleasant scent, and eating the food she feeds him, Aquaman's intelligence is now comparable to that of a human aged 18-25.
Because of its increased intelligence, its gaze toward Xiaoqi changed from one of adoration to one of doting affection. Now, it always looks at Xiaoqi with doting and kind eyes, as if it were looking at Xiaoqi as an elder looking at a child, and treating Xiaoqi as its own cub from the bottom of its heart.
Little Seven clung to the Sea King's back, her soft, baby voice saying, "I want to tell the world that you exist, that you are a mermaid, the ruler of the ocean, not a mutated lizard, you are the Sea King!"
A benevolent smile appeared on Aquaman's lizard face.
"Aquaman, will you always stay by my side?"
Aquaman nodded without hesitation.
"But you are the master of the ocean, and I shouldn't keep you locked up by my side all this time. Grandpa promised me that he would take us out to sea. When you see the sea, you might yearn for it and for freedom."
Haiyang shook his head vigorously, indicating that he only wanted to stay by Xiaoqi's side and protect her.
Xiaoqi giggled, "I know you like me the most!"
Xiao Qi affectionately patted Hai Wang's head: "Hai Wang, if you yearn for the sea, if you yearn for freedom, you don't need to suppress yourself. Just tell me, and I will... set you free! As long as you think of me occasionally, just come back and visit me."
As the zoo was about to open, music began to play—a childlike song. At the climax, the singer produced a dolphin-like high note. Perhaps it wasn't a dolphin's high note, but a sound of a higher caliber, so beautiful, melodious, and captivating.
"This song is so good."
"Why have I never heard a truly good song?"
"What song is this? I want to download it!"
"That voice...it's Xiao Wu!"
"Xiao Wu? The ringleader's older brother?"
"It's Xiao Wu's most famous mermaid voice! This isn't a dolphin voice, it's Xiao Wu's mermaid voice!"
"So this melodious, beautiful, and captivating voice is a mermaid's voice!" someone exclaimed. "It's so beautiful, this voice is so enchanting!"
"I never expected Xiao Wu to sing so well!"
What's the name of this song?
"It's Xiao Wu's latest single, which was just released recently. It's called: Sea King!"
"Neptune?"
"What a unique name!"
"That sound is like a dolphin's call, or a whale's cry, or a mermaid's voice. That guy is called the Sea King, which actually fits the description quite well, doesn't it?"
"I need to download it!"
The song "Aquaman," which was released just three days ago, suddenly saw a surge in listens and downloads today. It went from being completely unknown to climbing straight up the music charts, rising from the bottom all the way to number one in just one hour, where it firmly holds the top spot.
"It sounds so good."
“My newborn daughter always cries, but when I play this song, she becomes very well-behaved.”
"Yes, yes, my grandson loves listening to it too!"
Aquaman has unknowingly become a magic weapon for soothing babies.
As the music reached its climax, people saw Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the back of a lizard.
The lizard crawled over, and everyone was disappointed to see only its front. They never expected that the grand finale, behind the dragon and phoenix, would be just a crawling lizard.
It's not that lizards aren't impressive, and riding one in is certainly cool, but the initial impressions were so strong that this lizard now seems rather ordinary.
Just as everyone was feeling disappointed, the lizard approached and flicked its tail.
"What is that?!"
"Is that a tail? I'm not seeing things, am I?"
"Oh my god, I saw it too, it's a huge tail!"
"It looks like a mermaid's tail!"
"A lizard with a fish tail! What kind of new species is this? Is it a mutant species from a laboratory?"
"Is it a liger, like a tiger and a lion's offspring? Or is it a lizard and a fish's offspring? A lizardfish???"
"My goodness, I never expected the grand finale to be a mutated lizard, or maybe a lizardfish?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let us try the lizardfish too!"
"We'd like to ride the lizardfish too!"
The children, who had never ridden a lizard before, were already full of curiosity about lizards. Now, upon hearing that this was a new species, possibly the only one of its kind in the world, the lizardfish, they became even more excited.
Compared to giant pandas, fake dragons, and a flock of peacocks, this mutated lizardfish, with its unique appearance, is more attractive to them.
Who doesn't want a unique experience?
Although pandas are rare in the world, they are quite numerous in China.
The dragon wasn't actually a real dragon. If it were a real dragon, it would be far superior to the lizard fish. But it was, after all, a fake dragon made up.
"Your Majesty, please, let us ride on the lizardfish too!"
Yes, yes!
The children surrounded Aquaman, unafraid that the terrifying-looking lizard head might bite them.
During this time, they became bolder, knowing very well that the animals around Xiaoqi would be very well-behaved and dare not attack them.
