Chapter 30

Han Zhan looked at the little mermaid in his arms, and gently brushed the fine hair on his forehead with his fingertips.

Sweet dreams, my little mermaid.

Han Zhan returned to the giant algae forest and wandered in front of the small stone house.The night pearl in the room emits a soft light, which makes people feel calm.Until Lei Zhe's cold voice came from inside, "Come in."

Han Zhan swam into the hut, while Lei Zhe and Jia Li looked like they had been waiting for a long time.

Lei Zhe didn't say any more nonsense and asked directly: "Is the little mermaid who sang just now Zai Zai?"

Han Zhan nodded, "It's Zaizai."

Jiali was impatient and asked immediately: "When did Zaizai wake up?"

"Don't talk about it yet." Lei Zhe pulled Jia Li, raised his hand and gently patted his back to comfort him, and continued to ask, "When Zai Zai sings, is there anything unusual around him?"

After Han Zhan finished speaking, Lei Zhe remained silent.

Seeing Lei Zhe's solemn look, Jia Li had a bad feeling, "Is there something wrong with Zaizai?"

Lei Zhe sighed, "Have you ever heard of a legend?"

Han Zhan carefully hugged the little mermaid in his arms, fearing to wake him up, "You tell me."

Lei Zhe slowly said one word, "Poseidon."

Mermaids have existed for millions of years, and legends of Poseidon have been circulating, although no mermaid has ever actually seen Poseidon.

The older mermaids firmly believe in the existence of Poseidon, and the mermaid parents often tell the little mermaid stories about Poseidon's deeds.Over time, when mermaids find a partner they like when they reach adulthood, they will ask the sea god for blessings.

Lei Zhe heard many legends about Poseidon from his mermaid parents.

His mermaid father visited many sea areas when he was young and heard many stories about Poseidon performing miracles. He spent his whole life pursuing the existence of Poseidon.Unfortunately, he never saw the true form of Poseidon in his entire life.At the end of his life, he returned to the sea where he was born and gave birth to Lei Zhe to a female mermaid.

Han Zhan shook his head, "Not necessarily Poseidon."

According to legend, the Poseidon is arrogant and moody, and can set off tsunamis with just a raise of his hand, killing and injuring countless creatures.And his little mermaid is so soft-hearted that when the little fish he raised dies, she will shed tears in sadness.

His instinct told him that his little mermaid would not be a ruthless sea god.

Lei Zhe took the sweetly sleeping little mermaid from Han Zhan's arms and signaled to Han Zhan with his eyes, you can go.

Han Zhan paused and glanced at the small house connected to the small stone house. In the end, he said nothing.

Jiali moved Zai Zai's shell bed and when she was about to put Zai Zai in, she realized that Zai Zai's shell bed was a bit small.

Jia Li blamed herself very much, hugging the little shell bed and crying loudly, "Oh, poor Zai Zai, it's my father who is bad, I am a bad father."

"Shh! Don't wake Zaizai."

Lei Zhe hugged the little mermaid and placed him on the stone bed. He was a little helpless and said, "Zai Zai will sleep with us tonight. We will change him to a big shell bed tomorrow. Be good and stop crying."

We can't blame Lei Zhe and the others for being careless. The mermaid parents have always raised little mermaids.The parents of little mermaids such as Dongkui and Suotu don't care where they sleep or whether they have enough to eat.Once the little mermaids are able to hunt independently, their parents will drive them away without hesitation.

Jiali has just grown up and is raising a little mermaid for the first time. She is still a playful age, and occasionally forgets that her cub is still a delicate little mermaid and needs his care.

No, the stone bed is so hard, Zai Zai will feel uncomfortable!

Jia Li flew over, picked up the little mermaid, and placed it on her belly.As if feeling his father's breath, Dong Zai's little face pressed against his father's skin, and his little tail shook slightly.

Jia Li held her face in her hands and said, "Zai Zai is so good."

Lei Zhe pressed Jiali's forehead and said in a deep voice: "Don't move, sleep."

Jiali lay stiffly on the stone bed, worried that the little mermaid would press on her belly, so she stayed awake all night.

Dong Zai woke up in a daze, and later realized that he was lying on his father's belly. He rubbed his father's soft belly with attachment, "Daddy, daddy!"

Jiali stretched and sat up, "Oh, my dear, you finally woke up."

Dong Zai blinked, "Dad?"

How could Zai Zai sleep on his father? Zai Zai clearly remembered that he went out to watch the moon with his brother last night.

The moon is so big and round.

Zaizai almost touched the moon.

Jia Li picked up the little mermaid and rubbed her soft little cub.

"Hehehe~" Dong Zai felt itchy and couldn't help but shrink his tail.

Lei Zhe rescued the little mermaid from Jiali's clutches and asked him softly, "Zai Zai, do you still remember what happened last night?"

Dong Zai subconsciously picked up the fish's tail and said, "Last night... Zai Zai sang."

Lei Zhe's eyes were gentle, "When did Zaizai learn to sing?"

Dongzai tilted his head and thought for a moment, "I don't remember~"

Lei Zhexu nodded Dong Zai's forehead, "Will it get hot here when you sing?"

Dong Zai quickly covered his forehead and said, "I will."

Lei Zhe and Jia Li looked at each other, and Zaizai had indeed awakened to the pattern.

Lei Zhe and Jia Li didn't go out today. After they fed Dong Zai, Jia Li took out the blue pearl that she had collected for a long time and said with a smile: "Zai Zai, daddy will play ball with you today, okay?"

Jiali flicked her tail and gently patted the blue pearl to Dong Zai.

Dong Zai giggled, swam over and caught the pearl with his little tail, and then patted it back to Jiali's father.

Lei Zhe closed his eyes and felt that every time the winter cub flicked its tail, the surrounding water flow would change slightly, and the seawater rushed to cling to the little mermaid, as if they had a natural affinity for the little mermaid.

Jia Li turned around and swung her red tail at the same time, and the pearl ball flew over. Dong Zai didn't catch it, and the huge pearl hit Lei Zhe next to her on the head.

"Ah! Dad?" Dong Zai rushed up and touched Lei Zhe's father's head worriedly. Why didn't his father say anything? Did he smash his head?

"Haha~" Jia Li bent down and laughed, gloating, "Why are you in such a daze?"

Lei Zhe held up the little mermaid above his head and said, "Dad is fine. It doesn't hurt at all."

Seeing that Lei Zhe's father didn't really smash his head, Dong Zai swung his little tail, swam down to retrieve the pearl ball, then swung his little tail and gave the ball to Jia Li's father.

It's been a long time since I've seen Dong Zai so happy. Lei Zhe and Jia Li thought at the same time. Fortunately, they didn't go out today.

At noon, Lei Zhe and Jia Li took Dong Zai out to play, and they found a large pearl oyster on the coral reef.

The pearl oyster was about half a person's height. Lei Zhe opened the shell with his bare hands and dug out more than a dozen golden pearls.

The pearl was so big that Dong Zai could barely hold it with his open hands. He raised his little face and said with bright blue eyes, "Dad, look, it's a beautiful ball."

Jiali praised: "As beautiful as Zaizai."

The winter cub curled up its tail shyly.

Lei Zhe cleaned the inside of the shell and put a few thick layers of shark gauze on it. Lei Zhe opened his hand towards the little mermaid and said, "Come here, Zai Zai."

The winter cub immediately dropped the pearl and swam to the bed of shells, where he rolled happily.For the little mermaid who is only about the length of a hand, the shell bed is too big, enough for the little mermaid to roll happily in it.

"Do you like it Zaizai?"

Dongzai wagged his little tail happily, "Zaizai likes it very much."

Dong Zai swam up, hugged the side of Lei Zhe's father's face, put his little mouth on it and kissed him.

"Where is Zaizai's father?" Jia Li pointed to the side of her face.

Dongzai smiled "hehe", pouted his little mouth, and kissed Jiali's father again.

The sweet laughter of the little mermaid sounded one after another in the sea, which showed how happy the little mermaid was at this moment.

Lei Zhe and the others were back to their busy state the next day, but no matter how busy they were, they would not forget to come back to feed the little mermaid, and they would always pay attention to the changes in patterns on Zai Zai's forehead.

The little mermaid loves to sing by nature, so the two will not stop the winter cub from singing and let the little mermaid grow up happily.

A young gray whale carries its winter calf slowly through the kelp forest.

Dong Zai crossed his waist, Zai Zai will be patrolling the small fishing ground today.

On the way, I met Yuan Xi and the others catching fish. Dong Zai raised his little paws and said, "Brother Yuan Yuan~"

Yuan Xi smiled warmly, "Where are you going to play, Dong Zai?"

Dong Zai’s little voice was soft, “Go and see the little fish~”

"I'll go with you."

Dongkui couldn't wait to say: "I'll go too."

So Yuan Xi and the others put down their task of catching fish and swam to the shallow sea, playing and playing all the way.

The weather is getting cooler, and the mermaids can clearly feel the change in water temperature.

The mermaids are getting busy preparing for the coming winter.

At this time, on the calm sea, Han Zhan and the others were surrounding and killing a large sea beast.

The big sea beast waved its tentacles and shook off the mermaid with all its strength.

No one noticed that at this time, a huge whirlpool appeared deep in the seabed, and the seawater rolled up continuously. The whirlpool quickly stirred the seawater, forming waves of rapids.

There were rough waves on the sea surface. Seeing the waves becoming more and more fierce, the mermaids reacted immediately.

At the same time, the shallow sea area.

Suddenly, tears welled up in Dong Zai's eyes, "Woo~"

Yuan Xi didn't understand what happened. He hugged Dong Zai quickly and said, "Dong Zai, don't cry."

Suotu noticed that the sea water was flowing too fast, and his expression changed slightly.

It's an undersea storm coming!

The seafloor experiences more than a dozen storms every year, more frequently in winter.Every time there is an undersea storm, there are warning signs. Like the last one, it was obviously not normal, but no mermaid thought about it in the depths.

Han Zhan dropped the sea beast in his hand, swung his tail and sank into the sea.

The other mermaids picked up the great beast and swam calmly down to the sea.

Jia Li's anxious voice suddenly sounded in the sea, "Zai Zai——"

Han Zhan made a move.

After a while, Yuan Xi's response came, "Uncle Jiali, we are in Qianhai, go back immediately -"

Yuan Xi went to pull Dong Zai away, "Dong Zai, we are going back soon."

Dongzai pointed at the fish with his little finger, "Zaizai's fish!"

The fish were so frightened that they fled in panic. The winter cub hugged the tail fin of a fin fish and pulled it back with all its strength, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

The several-meter-long fin fish didn't dare to move and let Dong Zai drag it back.

The last submarine storm left Yuan Xi with deep fear. Yuan Xi's face turned pale, "Dong Zai, let's go back quickly."

Dong Zai turned around and shouted: "Little Huihui!"

The little gray whale let go of the big fish in its mouth, swam over and cupped the tail of Gongyuan River, urging him to come up quickly.

Yuan Xi had to sit on the back of the little gray whale.

Dong Zai whispered: "Follow Zai Zai and don't get separated."

Seeing that Suotu and the others were very calm, Yuan Xi gradually became less afraid. He asked strangely: "Dong Zai, who are you talking to?"

"Yuyu!"

After several little mermaids sat on his back, the little gray whale paddled its tail and swam quickly toward the giant algae forest.

The little mermaids in Suotu didn't notice. After they left, the fish on the gorgonians formed a ball and followed them silently.

Halfway through, they saw a whirlpool swirling the sea water crazily. The whirlpool was so big that if you approached it, you would be sucked in. They had no choice but to avoid the whirlpool.

The huge black fish tail sliced through the water, stirring up white waves. He slowly sank, his eyes moving quickly, as if searching for something in the gorgonian coral.

There was no fish on the gorgonians at this time.

Without thinking, Han Zhan pulled up the gorgonian coral and swam all the way to the kelp forest. He was very fast and soon caught up with the little gray whale.

Han Zhan was slightly startled when he caught a glimpse of the big-headed fish swimming in a group behind the little gray whale. There were also a few fin fish mixed in, with their tails between their legs and shivering.

Dong Zai smelled his brother's breath, he raised his head, his face was surprised, "Brother!"

Han Zhan picked up the little mermaid and held him in his chest. He lowered his head and asked the little mermaid, "Are you scared?"

Dong Zai hugged his brother's fingers tightly, with tears in his eyes, "Woo hoo~ Zai Zai is so scared."

"Brother is here."

At this time, a red fish tail appeared in front of them, but in the blink of an eye, Jiali swam in front of them. He gasped slightly, "Zai Zai, are you okay?"

Dongzai poked his little head out of Han Zhan's arms, "Zaizai is fine."

When they returned to the kelp forest, all the other mermaids were back, and everyone was orderly gathering the prey, which would be their food for the next few days.

Long swam over. He touched Yuan Xi's pale face and frowned, "Why have you become so timid?"

Ai Rui swung his tail and squeezed Long Hui away. He picked up Yuan Xi and coaxed gently: "Don't be afraid, little Yuan Xi. Come to Uncle Ai Rui. Uncle Ai Rui will protect you."

Yuan Xi hugged Ai Rui's neck and couldn't help laughing through tears.

The author has something to say: The timing of mermaid adulthood is messed up. Let me correct it. It takes three years for the little mermaid to break out of her shell and she will basically reach adulthood.
