The little mermaid mischievously sprayed water on Hao Ren's face — boiling water.
Hao Ren jumped on the spot. Fortunately, his face had been strengthened. Other than being shocked and a little hot, he was not disfigured by the mouthful of boiling water. He held the lid and stared at the little mermaid swimming in the pot. His brain was not working properly. It took him a few seconds to realize that the egg had hatched. Lily had been cooking it for a long time, and it had hatched!
The lifeforms in this world were indeed different from those on Earth.
Lily curiously came over to take a look. Her eyes were a little dazed. Using the husky's logic, she thought for a long time and came to a conclusion. "Ah, looks like I can't eat it …"
The little mermaid did not understand what Lily and Hao Ren were talking about. She just looked at the world outside the pot curiously (the world was just a ceiling and two big faces to her). She was a beautiful, pink little guy with a striking, pale red tail and light brown hair. Her eyes were especially big and full of intelligence and curiosity. It was not known if all the mermaids were like this. After this little guy hatched from the egg, she looked almost like an adult, except that her body size had shrunk to half a foot long. Shrunk to this size in her mermaid form was probably similar to the feeling of this little mermaid. The little guy soaked in the water with his belly facing the sky. After a while, he probably felt bored and jumped out of the pot with all his might … towards the direction of the gas stove!
Hao Ren was startled. Fortunately, he reacted in time and caught the little guy with the lid. So the little mermaid lay on the lid and stared at Hao Ren. A few seconds later, the strange little guy began to make a messy sound, as if all kinds of grunts were mixed together. She slapped the lid with her tail. Hao Ren reached out and curiously poked the little guy's tail. She instantly quietened down. It seemed that she was just trying to attract Hao Ren's attention.
"What the hell is this?" Lily wagged her tail as she sniffed and licked the little guy's tail. "Although I cooked it for a while, it doesn't seem to be cooked at all … Mr. Landlord, where did you find it?"
"Knock it off." Hao Ren slapped Lily away. "This is our new guest. I brought her back from 800 light-years away. But she was still an egg. I didn't expect you to cook it and it hatched. This world is really amazing."
Lily was stunned. "Wow —"
"I think …" Hao Ren thought for a long time, trying to think of something he could do. At last, he found that the little guy was naked (but there was nothing to see in this half-foot-long thing). "Let's get her some clothes first?"
Lily and Hao Ren stared at each other for a while. Both of them realized one thing: where could they find such tiny clothes!
At this time, the little mermaid began to jump again. After jumping out of the pot, she seemed to find the outside world more vast and interesting. She was curious about everything in the kitchen, including the lit gas stove and the knife rack not far away. Looking at the little mermaid's eagerness to test her jumping ability, Hao Ren felt cold sweat trickling down his back. He quickly asked Lily to find a basin to collect some water, and then carefully moved the little mermaid into the basin. Before putting the little mermaid in the basin, he was worried that the little mermaid would not adapt to the cold water after hatching in the boiling water. But the little mermaid's adaptability was amazing, and she could swim freely in the cold water. So, Hao Ren boldly carried the basin to the living room and asked Lily to call Nangong Wuyue down from the second floor. The siren maiden had slept for a long time, and it was time for her to wake up.
Nangong Wuyue came to the living room and was shocked to see the little mermaid swimming in the basin.
"Is she really cooked?" The siren maiden looked incredulous. "She's swimming in boiling water?"
"It is said that there are deep-sea creatures on Earth that can survive in an environment of two or three hundred degrees, and there are microbes in the hot springs near the crater." Hao Ren smacked his lips. "But it's quite surprising that Lily cooked her and hatched her. By the way, Wuyue, do you have any clothes for her? Although she's not big … it's a bit weird to see her naked. "
Nangong Wuyue did not know much about needlework, but she was open-minded. When she heard Hao Ren's words, she immediately ran into the house and took out a roll of raw material for a plumber. "Wrap it with this first …"
"Will this work?" Hao Ren asked.
"Why not? I'll make do for now. When Vivian comes back, she should have a way. I've never seen a vampire better at housework than her." Nangong Wuyue raised the raw material and gestured in front of the little mermaid. The little mermaid was startled. She jumped to the other side of the basin and curled her tail into a ball. She kept dodging, as if she did not like the strange white strip. Nangong Wuyue pouted. "Mr. Landlord, help me catch her."
Hao Ren tried to reach out to the little mermaid. The little mermaid trusted him more and immediately grabbed Hao Ren's thumb, refusing to let go. Nangong Wuyue laughed. "Looks like you're the first person she saw when she was born. She treats you as her mother."
Hao Ren was speechless. He never thought that such a thing would happen to him!
Under Hao Ren's reassurance, the little mermaid seemed to have lost her hostility towards the raw material. She pouted and allowed Nangong Wuyue to wrap the raw material around her body twice. However, she seemed to be a little tired of the basin. After returning to the water for a while, she jumped onto the coffee table and began to stroll. She had no legs, so she could only hop forward, and she could not stand upright when she hopped. So, instead of strolling, she was actually crawling forward while hopping. Occasionally, she would use both her hands and her tail to scurry forward. This clumsy yet bold move was very interesting. The little mermaid seemed to be extraordinarily curious. When she first moved from the kitchen to the living room, she was afraid for a while. But now, she had completely adapted to the new environment and began to explore her surroundings boldly.
But it could be seen that the little mermaid still had all the characteristics of a cub. She was very concerned about the position of her 'parents'. Every time she crawled, she would turn her head to see if Hao Ren was sitting next to her. When she was done crawling around the coffee table, she was satisfied. She simply jumped into Hao Ren's arms and did not move. She was resting.
The three of them were amazed. Lily stared at the little mermaid for a long time. "Although she can't eat anymore, she seems to be quite fun!"
Nangong Wuyue also curiously stretched out her finger to play with the little mermaid's chin. "So a mermaid is like this when she's young … I wonder if other sirens are like this when they're young? I heard from my mother that normal sirens are oviparous. When they hatch, they're small. Maybe they're like this too? "
There were many similar topics in the big house every day. Hao Ren was used to it. He just awkwardly held the little mermaid in his arms to prevent her from falling out. At the same time, he asked Nangong Wuyue for help. "Can you put her back in the basin? I can't carry her all day long. "
There was a reason why Hao Ren was so worried. When he moved a little, he was about to throw the little mermaid back into the basin. But the little mermaid immediately flopped around. She used her tail to slap Hao Ren's arm and made a messy grumbling sound. It was as if she would annoy him if he threw her back into the basin. Obviously, she had already attached herself to someone.
"I don't think we can communicate with her." Nangong Wuyue was worried. The little mermaid's cry was very strange. Even the Unbounded Translator in their heads could not decipher it. The cry was probably a child's ravings, the kind that made no sense. They were not even sure how intelligent the little mermaid was. Although she showed a strong sense of curiosity and initiative, these actions were basically instinctive. A mermaid's cub was not much smarter than a human baby. At most, it was just that she was more active when she was born.
Just as the three of them were looking at the little mermaid helplessly, they suddenly heard the door open. Vivian was back.
The vampire maiden was carrying a net full of wild vegetables. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the three of them sitting around the coffee table, discussing something. She curiously came over to take a look. At that moment, the little mermaid curiously burrowed her upper body into Hao Ren's clothes. Vivian saw a fish tail waving outside. She then said, "You want to eat this for dinner? I'll braise it. I'm good at it! "
Hao Ren, Nangong Wuyue, and Lily were speechless.
The days from now … seemed to be even more lively.
