It was the first time Hao Ren had such an intuitive understanding of how amazing the racial gap was.
After a few rounds of confirmation, the guardians finally confirmed that the little mermaid was eating the chopsticks as food and not a child biting at them. The half-foot-long little one had amazing bite strength. The bamboo chopsticks crunched like a chocolate bar in her mouth. Hao Ren was shocked at first, but when he saw the saliva on the corner of the little mermaid's mouth, he completely gave up on snatching the chopsticks.
Half a chopstick quickly went down her stomach, and only then did the little mermaid's stomach bulge a little. She patted her stomach in satisfaction, and let out a burp that smelled like bamboo. Then, she jumped into the basin of water with a plop sound to drink water. Her movements were nimble, and she ate skillfully. It was hard to believe that this was a little fellow that had just hatched a few hours ago. Lily looked at all this in amazement. After a long while, something came to her mind. "Eh, if that's the case, she should be able to bite my teeth-grinder … Don't you think so, Mr. Landlord?"
The husky had a broad mind. She was probably the only one who would sigh at this juncture.
"She eats bamboo?" Vivian's expression was as weird as it could get. "I've lived for so long … and this is the first time I've heard that a mermaid can eat bamboo, not to mention a hatchling."
"No, she probably eats coarse plant fiber." Wuyue was more or less an aquatic product expert. Her analysis was more reliable than the others. "There's no bamboo in the sea. Even the sea of the Otherworld doesn't grow bamboo. This mermaid probably eats coarse plant fiber to survive. And it's probably because of the harsh living conditions over there. This little one's ability to live independently is really strong. She can probably survive in the sea by herself. No wonder the Goddess said that this egg will definitely hatch into little fish. This vitality is too strong. "
"But she didn't expect that this egg needs to be boiled to hatch. She even asked me to be careful not to boil the egg." Hao Ren's mouth twitched. He did not care much about the independent survival ability of this "little fish". He just thought that the Otherworld's mermaid race must be a very fierce species. Just look at her teeth and mobility when she hatched. If a dozen eggs were thrown into the Pacific Ocean, they would probably eat up all the fishing boats in a few years. It was a pity that this race was only left with a single seedling.
While everyone was talking to the little mermaid around the basin, a rough voice suddenly came from the direction of the door. "Yo, I'm back … What are you guys studying?"
Lily turned her head and saw that it was Y'zaks. She immediately waved and shouted, "Big guy, come and see! The landlord's eggs hatched! I helped to hatch it! "
At that moment, Hao Ren really wanted to throw the husky out of the window! Unfortunately, he was no match for her …
"What nonsense …" Y 'zaks was also stunned by Lily's words. He came over in confusion and saw the little fish in the basin. He was shocked, "Miss Nangong, so you were pregnant before?"
Hao Ren: "…"
"Oh right, I remember now!" Y 'zaks realized that the atmosphere was not right and quickly came to his senses. He awkwardly slapped his forehead. "It's the egg we brought back. I didn't expect it to hatch so fast. Sorry, sorry, I'm a straightforward person. "
This should not be just a matter of being straightforward. Hao Ren looked at the great demon in confusion. He felt that Y 'zaks seemed to have something on his mind. His mind was obviously not here. However, the great demon quickly diverted everyone's attention. "What's this little guy called?"
"Yes, we haven't named it yet!" Vivian suddenly clapped her hands. "We can't always call it 'little fish', right?"
Therefore, everyone began to get busy again, discussing the name of the baby fish. This little guy that had just hatched really had a promising future. Just look at how long it had been since it opened its eyes, and it had already become a core figure in the family. Rollie circled around the circle of people and called out for a long time, but no one paid attention to it. The former family pet had lost its status in an instant, and it was very depressed.
Hao Ren teased the little mermaid's tail with his finger and poked it while suggesting, "How about a nickname? Let's give her a nickname first. We don't have to register her anyway. We can think of a proper name when she grows up. "
"No, that's too vulgar." Nangong Wuyue waved her hand vigorously. "Change it."
"She was brought back by the landlord, and she's the most attached to the landlord. Why don't we just change her surname to Hao?" Vivian thought for a moment. "Plus, she's a mermaid. How about Hao Duoyu?"
Lily suddenly became happy. "Hey, I agree, I agree …"
"Change it!" Hao Ren was having a headache. "Can't you guys be more serious?"
Lily started to think. "How about this, this egg was hatched by me, so let's just call it Doggy Egg …"
Everyone roared, "Change it!"
"I think it should have a gorgeous, honorable name," Y 'zaks said in a low voice. "We have to think about this child's identity. She's the only mermaid in a certain world, and the goddess herself entrusted her to us to take care of her. And her guardian, that is you. Landlord, you're a god. In my world, you're the chosen pope. Even the king has to bow to you. So, this mermaid raised by you should at least have a princess-like name …"
Hao Ren was a little dizzy after hearing what Y 'zaks said. He asked dizzily, "Then what do you think we should call her?"
"Elizabeth Francois Velasquez Fryer … Wait, I haven't finished yet …"
Hao Ren pushed Y 'zaks away (it wasn't easy). "You're not as good at naming as I am!"
It seemed that the great demon was a naming wastrel in another sense. He must have just memorized the name from the dictionary!
So, there was another round of discussion, but no one could come up with a good suggestion. In the end, it was Vivian who crossed her arms and said calmly, "Actually, what the big guy said makes sense. The baby mermaid should have a good name. It's just that his name is too long. We can make it shorter. How about Elizabeth?"
Hao Ren felt that Elizabeth was not a bad name, but it seemed that there were too many people with this name. It was more or less lacking in individuality. However, Vivian had already made up her mind. "If there's no objection, then it's settled. The legend of the mermaid on Earth first came from the West. I think this name suits the little guy's temperament. What do you think, Landlord? "
Hao Ren wanted to say that a fish that was only half a foot long could not have any temperament. But looking at his room full of unreliable guys, he could only nod in agreement: Y'lisabet was more or less reliable. What if she really named her Eggface? Look at the Husky's actions, it's not impossible!
"I'll suggest a nickname." Nangong Wuyue raised her hand. "Elizabeth is too formal. How about Lil Pea? Look at her, she's so small … "
This time, before anyone could express their opinion, the little mermaid was already happily flapping her tail and jumping in the basin. Although she might be excited for other reasons, everyone was still happy. Hao Ren clapped his hands. "Lil Pea! The little guy agrees! "
And so, the little mermaid got the name that would accompany her for life: Elizabeth, nickname Lil Pea.
Hao Ren felt that this name would become a legend sooner or later. Just look at the contrast …
They had been tossed around for a long time because of the mermaid. By this time, Lily was so hungry that she was ready to bite someone. So, everyone went back to work. Vivian went to cook, Y 'zaks and Nangong Wuyue went to pack. But just as Hao Ren was about to go back to his room, he found something troublesome: the little mermaid was sticking to him again!
Sensing that everyone had left, even Hao Ren was about to leave, the mermaid Lil Pea began to thrash violently in the basin and let out a very shrill scream. Hao Ren saw the little mermaid almost tumbled out of the basin, jumped off the coffee table, and then bounced on the floor towards him. It scared the hell out of him!
Lil Pea grabbed onto Hao Ren's trousers and calmed down a little. But the latter was already crying. He suddenly realized that he had to solve the problem of the mermaid treating him as her mother!
