Lance looked embarrassed when he heard Bai Qi's words: "I am no longer the prince of the Mermaid Kingdom."
"Your mother doesn't want you anymore?"
Lance closed his eyes and cursed in his heart: Your mother doesn't want you anymore!
"Uh... not really. Anyway, I'm not the prince of the mermaid kingdom anymore."
As Lance spoke, he looked around and found the slope leading up the mountain. He lay down on the slope, put his palms on the ground, and climbed to Tu Ling's feet by relying on friction.
Then he hugged Tu Ling's legs, his expression full of attachment: "Madam, I miss you so much. You never come to see me."
"Didn't I tell you to stay in the sea and wait until the sun is high so I can come back to see you?"
Tu Ling bent down and picked up Lance. In order to touch Lance, she could no longer use her supernatural power to control the rain around her body. Now she was soaked like Bai Qi.
Tu Ling held Lance in her arms as they walked into the cave, saying, "You've been in the water for so long, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"A little bit. I feel like my body is swollen."
Tu Ling looked down at the little fish in her arms. How could a deep-sea fish not swell up when it ran into fresh water? It was already good enough that it didn't die.
After entering the cave, Tu Ling closed the portal in the Lanjiao Water Cave and let Lance in.
He took another bucket of salt crystals and poured it into the water.
Lance felt heartbroken when he saw Tu Ling pouring salt into the water as if it were free. Although he didn't need salt crystals, Tu Ling did. What's the difference between pouring salt like this and throwing pearls like this?
"Madam, why did you pour salt into the water? What a waste!"
"First, feel if the swelling in your body has subsided."
"Huh?" Lance found that his body was indeed much more comfortable. Could it be the effect of the salt crystals?
"It's not rising much anymore, why is that?"
"You're a deep-sea fish. The osmotic pressure and pressure of your internal fluid environment are similar to those of the ocean, but the osmotic pressure of the ocean is much greater than that of freshwater. In other words, if you were in freshwater, the osmotic pressure inside you would be greater than outside. Water would move from areas with high osmotic pressure to areas with low osmotic pressure, causing more and more water to accumulate in your body. Furthermore, the internal pressure would squeeze your internal organs, causing the bloating sensation. You're lucky to have managed to hold on until you saw me."
Lance: "Uh..."
What is osmotic pressure? What is pressure?
"Tsk, playing the lute to a cow." Lan Jiao sneered at the side. It would be strange if Lance could understand it.
Lance was already feeling uncomfortable being in the same puddle with Lan Jiao, and now being mocked by him made him feel even worse. But what was the point of playing the lute to a cow?
Although he didn't understand, judging from Lan Jiao's tone, she was definitely mocking him: "What are you laughing at? Do you think you can understand?"
A fish and a shark occupied two positions in the water cave. Lan Jiao leaned against the stone wall and said, "That's natural."
Lance naturally didn't believe it. He cursed inwardly and didn't say anything more to him.
Lance looked at Tu Ling's cave. It was not as beautiful as the karst cave. It was also small in area and could not produce fresh water and salt crystals. He really didn't know why Tu Ling had to come back.
His gaze slowly fell on the male orcs who were busy doing something in the cave. Those must be the males of Tu Ling.
In order to be able to spend better time with Tu Ling in the future, he took the initiative to greet several people.
"Hi!"
Bai Qi, Yin Hen, and the others had been sewing seasonal clothing from animal hides, since they had nothing else to do anyway. Furthermore, Lan Jiao's baby was about to be born, and while merpeople didn't need to wear clothes, the ritual was still essential.
When a cub is born on land, the camp will give it its first piece of animal skin in life.
When they heard Lance's voice, they stopped what they were doing.
They had noticed this mermaid prince a long time ago, and they knew without a doubt what Tu Ling had done to him that made him run so far to find them.
"What's wrong?" Bai Qi asked.
"My name is Lance, I'm a mermaid... I'm a merman, what about you?"
Bai Qi began to introduce himself: "Bai Qi, I'm a big white rabbit."
"Silver Scar, Moon Wolf."
Zi Ye's expression was indifferent: "Zi Ye, from the Purple Viper Clan, just mated with the female a few days ago."
Lance: ...Who asked you that?
Shiyi glanced at Ziye and said, unwilling to be outdone, "Shiyi, Lu, I also mated with the female master a few days ago for three hours."
"Fuxiang! I am the cub of my father and mother! I am a big white tiger."
"I am also a cub of my father and mother, but I am a Moon Wolf!"
Lance was so adorable with Fuxiang and Yinji that he teased Yinji and asked, "What's your name then?"
"Ginji."
After everyone introduced themselves, they all looked at Lan Jiao.
Lan Jiao: ... As expected, the most embarrassing thing in the world is introducing oneself.
Lance and Lan Jiao knew each other, but he didn't want others to know about their relationship, so he quickly changed the subject and pointed at Ye Li in the corner and said, "I haven't introduced that person yet!"
When Lance asked this, everyone's expressions suddenly became strange. There was an outsider in the cave. Did they need to introduce him as well?
Ye Li himself was a little embarrassed. As soon as Lance came, Ye Li felt threatened. After all, his biggest advantage was his appearance, but Lance seemed to be more eye-catching than him. He first glanced at everyone, observing their expressions, and then said: "My name is Ye Li, and I am the Black Viper. But I made some mistakes, so I haven't joined Tu Ling's camp yet. Fortunately, Tu Ling has always been kind and let me live here."
The implication is that although he didn't join the camp, it wasn't because he couldn't join, but because he made some mistakes. And even though he made mistakes, Tu Ling still kept him, which shows that Tu Ling really likes him.
But Lance didn't think too much about it and asked directly: "What mistake did you make?"
Ye Li: . . . .
I've been speechless for a lot today. I'm really talking about things that are irrelevant to the topic.
Lance was still looking at Ye Li eagerly, waiting for him to speak, but how could Ye Li tell him?
"Instead of worrying about what mistakes he made, why not care about the new cubs that are about to be born in the camp?" Lan Jiao spoke for Ye Li. In fact, he also wanted to show off to Lance that she was pregnant with Tu Ling's child.
"Is there a cub in Tu Ling's belly?" Lance was a little surprised. He was wondering if it was his. After all, they had mated before Tu Ling left.
But looking at Tu Ling's flat belly, he was disappointed.
If it were him, his belly would be bulging.
"I don't."
Tu Ling felt creepy when she thought about having a baby in her belly.
"Ah?" Tu Ling doesn't have a baby, so how could there be a newborn cub.
"There's nothing in Tu Ling's belly, but there is in my belly." Lan Jiao said in a mean way. After that, he deliberately sat on the shore, revealing his bulging belly.
