After confirming that this mermaid, who looked like them, posed no threat to them, the children who had formed a "kids' ball" in the corner of the pool slowly dispersed and gradually approached Lan Huaili.
Lan Huaili held the little girl and swam slowly towards the surface of the water, always paying attention to the child's breathing condition after she left the water.
Seeing Lan Huaili leave, the other children also became anxious.
This big brother who spoke the Aquamarine language and had a gentle smile on his face was the only person who had made them feel at ease in all this time.
So, they all moved their tails and endured the pain at the seams to keep up with Lan Huaili.
To Jing Xia and the others, two heads, one big and one small, emerged from the water, just like small dumplings cooked in boiling water.
Colorful little dumplings popped out of the water one by one.
Everyone who saw this scene breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes curled up.
One of the larger dumplings swam towards the large dumpling in the center, pursed its lips, and said in a voice that was both childish and hoarse after screaming, "Are you the young priest?"
Lan Huaili suddenly looked up, met those sky-blue eyes, and nodded: "Yes."
Those eyes were instantly covered with a layer of moisture, like rain on a sunny day. A little boy about six or seven years old rushed towards Lan Huaili with a series of cries.
The little girl with light yellow hair tilted her head, her face full of confusion.
Who is the young priest?
"Woo woo woo, you're here to save us, right?"
Lan Huaili used one of her free hands to hold the little boy, while the other hand was still holding him, so she could only lower her head and rub her cheek against the boy's head.
"You are safe now. This is the Imperial Military Headquarters. The person who was just by the pool is here to check on you."
"Don't worry, they won't hurt you."
Lan Huaili mixed some mental strength into his words, trying to comfort the children and let them let down their guard against the military doctors.
The fear slowly disappeared from those pairs of little eyes, and the children nodded ignorantly.
Well, this big brother with a nice voice said so.
The colorful little dumplings followed Lan Huaili and turned to face the glass, blinking their big round eyes.
Military doctor, Jingxia and others: Ah! So cute!
"Can we have something to eat, then?"
The little girl nestled in Lan Huaili's arms and asked shyly, then buried her little face in Lan Huaili's neck.
She hasn't eaten for a long time.
Military Medic: "Eat! Eat a big portion!"
He immediately contacted other doctors and asked them to bring some food suitable for children. He also specifically told them not to bring nutrient solution and not to wear white coats.
