Chapter 57

Dongzai pursed his lips and tightly grasped Han Zhan's arm, "Brother, don't leave."

Han Zhan's heart almost softened. He lowered his eyes and said with determination, "Brother has something important and must leave."

Tears flashed in Dong Zai's eyes, but he stubbornly refused to cry.

Han Zhan said casually, "It would be great if Zaizai grew up a little and could leave with my brother."

Dong Zai's round eyes rolled, "When will brother leave?"

"In two days."

Dong Zai said "Oh", as if he remembered it in his heart.

Lei Zhe and Jia Li discussed it all night.

Haicheng had just been built, and he and Han Zhan had to stay behind. Since Han Zhan decided to go there in person, Lei Zhe decided that he would stay and let Jia Li, Han Zhan, and Ai Rui find the power of the sea god.

Jia Li disagrees with taking Dong Zai along because it is too dangerous outside.

After learning that his father did not intend to take Dong Zai with him, Dong Zai did not cry or make any fuss. He was very well-behaved, but he was a little clingy to Han Zhan and followed Han Zhan like a little tail all day long.

Jiali and the others guessed that Dong Zai was reluctant to leave Han Zhan, so they let him go.

Han Zhan was not surprised by this result.

He was about to set off tomorrow. Han Zhan fed Dong Zai and finished half of the fish. "You have to be good, Zai Zai, you know?"

Dongzai nodded and said, "Okay, brother, remember to come back early."

Han Zhan raised his eyebrows and pinched Dong Zai's little face, "Stop crying? Maybe when my brother comes back, Zai Zai will have grown up."

Dong Zai's chin rested on Han Zhan's arm, and he muttered in a low voice: "No way."

Before dawn, Han Zhan heard a subtle call from outside. He opened his eyes, got up and went to the small room next door. The little mermaid was sleeping soundly.

The fan-shaped stone bed is covered with soft shark's silk. When the transparent gauze-like shark's silk is stained with water, it glows pale white, making a small face become whiter and tenderer than jade.

Han Zhan bent down, his thin lips fell on the black hair, "Brother is leaving."

The little mermaid murmured in her sleep, as if responding to him.

The corners of Han Zhan's mouth turned up slightly, and he finally took a deep look at the little mermaid, then turned and left the small room.Ari waited outside for a while, and when Han Zhan finally came out, he smiled and said, "Will your little mermaid let you out?"

"Zai Zai is asleep."

"That's it. We'll have to make trouble again when he wakes up. Let's leave quickly." Ariti slipped away from Kyle and prepared to leave.

In the small round room, Lei Zhe kissed the corner of Jiali's mouth and warned in a calm tone: "Come back soon."

Jia Li was reluctant to give up. He put his arms around Lei Zhe's neck and kissed her deeply.

A red sun rose above the sea level. After Jia Li reluctantly kissed Lei Zhe goodbye, she quickly met Han Zhan and the others.

They swam toward the rising sun.

After swimming far away, Han Zhan suddenly turned back.

"Han Zhan, what are you looking at?"

"nothing."

At the same time, in the small stone house, the winter cub got up and quietly walked across the coral reef, shouting: "Little Huihui, where are you?"

The little gray whale hiding on the coral reef swims up.The winter cub climbed onto the back of the little gray whale and whispered: "Let's go quickly to catch up with dad and brother."

"Hmph~"

Han Zhan and the others had already swam far away, and the remaining breath in the sea water was very weak. The little gray whale was a little disoriented and didn't know which way to swim, so he chose a random direction to swim.

Seeing the little gray whale swimming in the opposite direction, Dong Bai quickly said: "Little Gray Whale, that's wrong, that's right, it's this way."

Afraid of being discovered by his father and brother, the winter cub did not dare to let the little gray whale swim too fast, and kept a close distance and followed them.

It was Lei Zhe who first discovered that the winter cub was missing. He was worried that the winter cub would starve if no one fed him. So when he came back from patrolling, he caught a big-headed fish and came to look for the winter cub.

As I approached the small house, I noticed that the winter calf's breath was very weak, and the calf gray whale was not there either. It must have been gone for a long time.

Lei Zhe immediately thought that Dong Zai was looking for Jia Li and the others.

No wonder he has been so well-behaved and obedient these past two days.

Lei Zhe shouted, but Jia Li didn't respond. It seemed that he had almost swam out of the sea and couldn't hear his voice.

There are almost no dragons in their sea area. Although Dong Zai is still a little mermaid, there are no sea beasts in the sea that can hurt him. Lei Zhe is not very worried.

He just had a headache. He didn't expect Dong Zai to be so bold.

The hot sun was scorching the sea, but Jiali and the others did not get too close to the sea.

Dong Zai touched his belly, he was so hungry.

The winter cub was so hungry that it had no strength. The whole fish lay on the back of the little gray whale, and it fell asleep due to hunger.

He spit out a bunch of bubbles accidentally.

Han Zhan suddenly turned around and swam back.

Han Zhan was so familiar with Dong Zai's scent that he keenly caught even the slightest hint of it.

Ari asked hurriedly: "Han Zhan, where are you going?!"

Han Zhan was actually very conflicted. Although he wanted Dong Zai to follow him, he didn't want him to follow him.He left the decision in the hands of the winter cub.But when he learned that Dong Zai was really following him secretly, he felt infinite joy in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Jiali also turned around, flicked the red fish's tail, and swam after Han Zhan.

Han Zhan carefully picked up the winter calf on the back of the little gray whale and said, "Baby, wake up."

Dongzai woke up in a daze and felt himself enveloped by his brother's breath. He rubbed his face against Han Zhan's hand, "Brother, I'm so hungry."

Jia Li laughed angrily. He directly picked up Dong Zai from Han Zhan's hand and shook it gently, "Little Zai Zai, how did you catch up?"

Dong Zai met his father's half-smiling look, and he blinked guiltily, "Dad."

"Zai Zai is very courageous."

Dong Zai hugged Jiali's neck and said in a softer voice: "Dad, don't be angry. Your Zai Zai knows you are wrong. He is so hungry now. Look at his belly."

When Jiali and the others are on the road, they will not specifically stop to hunt. They will catch a fish when they pass by a school of fish, eat while on the road, and then have another meal when they rest at night.

"You know you're wrong, I'll take you back." Jia Li looked at the delicate little mermaid in her arms. It would be very hard for them to travel. There were no bighead fish, silver tail fish, or fin fish. Sometimes they couldn't catch the prey and had to eat it.The smelly multi-clawed fish, he didn't want his cubs to suffer like this.

Dong Zai hugged Jia Li's neck tightly and said stickyly: "Dad, I don't want to go back. I want to play with dad."

"Dad is not out to play."

Han Zhan couldn't help but said: "Uncle Jiali, let Zaizai come with us. Going back now will waste time."

The winter cub shook its little tail fin happily, "Yes, yes."

Jiali raised her narrow eyes and squinted at Han Zhan.

Han Zhan looked directly into Jia Li's eyes, not timid at all.

After a moment of stalemate, Jia Li compromised, "Let's get Zaizai something to eat first."

Han Zhan said: "I'll go."

After Han Zhan swam away, Jia Li rubbed Dong Zai's face, "You're so worried, little Zai Zai, and you." Jia Li patted the little gray whale's big head, "How dare you sneak away with Zai Zaicome out."

"Humph." The little gray whale flattered Gong Jiali's palm.

Ai Rui was waiting for them where he was. From a long distance away, his sharp eyes caught sight of Dong Zai being held by Jiali. He clicked his tongue twice, "Why did Xiao Dong Zai catch up with you?"

Kyle's eyes were bright. He stared at the pattern on the forehead of the winter cub and said infatuatedly: "What a beautiful little mermaid."

Hearing this, Ai Rui knocked on his head and said, "That's Lei Zhe's cub. If you dare to mess around, I'll skin you alive."

Kyle suddenly woke up and sneered, "No, his patterns are really beautiful. Are the patterns innate?"

Ari looked at Kyle with scrutiny, no longer his usual lazy look, "I'm warning you one last time, don't touch him!"

Kyle's face fell, "I'm not, how dare I..." The last sentence was almost inaudible, and Ari didn't pay attention.

At this time, Han Zhan caught two fish and came back. He had a taste and found that the meat was not as tender as the whitetail fish. It was barely edible, but Zaizai would be aggrieved.

Dong Zai held the fish and ate happily. He bit off the fish meat with his sharp little teeth and ate it slowly.

After eating, Dong Zai yawned and rested his head on Han Zhan's shoulder, looking drowsy.

Han Zhan hugged Dong Zai tightly and coaxed softly: "Zai Zai, go to sleep."

It was still early, so Jiali and the others continued to set off. They had to find a safe place to spend the night before night fell.

Before dark, Ari found a pile of rocks. They piled the rocks up and formed a circle, just spending the night casually.

They will reach the Great Trench in two days. They will go to other sea areas through the Great Trench, and then go to the Valencia Sea area that Kyle mentioned.

Before going to the Great Trench, they had to prepare a lot of food.

Except for Kyle, the only experienced one among them is Ari. Ari has been to many sea areas since he became an adult and is very familiar with the Great Trench, so Lei Zhe let Ari come with him.

The Great Trench never sees the sun all year round, and there are no fish. Almost all the sea animals that come out of the Great Trench are hungry, precisely because they are hungry.

Han Zhan and the others spent half a day catching enough food and carrying it in fishing nets.

The winter cub sat on the back of the little gray whale, trying not to cause any trouble to its father and the others.

After catching the food, they continued to the big trench.

Fortunately, Kyle didn't act like a monster along the way. On the evening of the fourth day, they successfully arrived at the Great Trench.

Zuo Lun came up to us and said in surprise: "Jiali, why are you here?"

Jiali said: "We are going to other sea areas. Isbella hasn't sent any mermaids here recently, right?"

"The mermaids sneaked over before and I spotted them, but they were very cautious and slipped away quickly. I chased them to the entrance of the Great Trench, but I didn't catch up and came back." Zuo Lun saw the little mermaid on Jiali's arm, "Why did you bring the little fish cub with you?"

Jia Li sighed, "My Zai Zai followed him quietly. He was so tight that he couldn't shake him off." His tone was slightly disgusting, but it was more like he was showing off his sweet little baggage.

Zuo Lun couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the pattern on Dong Zai's forehead, but in an instant, his expression quickly returned to normal, "The Great Trench is dark, and there are many ferocious sea beasts. You must be careful."

Ari said lazily: "Don't worry, there's still me."

Zuo Lun clenched his fist and lightly touched Ai Rui's shoulder, "Come back safely."

They rested outside the Great Trench for a night to replenish their strength. After entering the Great Trench, they could no longer rest so comfortably.

The winter cub is nestled in his father's arms, probably because he is afraid that Jiali will send him back. The little mermaid has been extremely well-behaved these past few days, and has never cried out about being tired or hungry.

Jiali touched Dongzai's sleeping face and couldn't help but sigh.

He never thought that the first time he left the sea would be with his cub in this situation. This feeling was very strange.If he hadn't given birth to mermaid eggs, he would have been roaming in various sea areas with Lei Zhe at this time.
