The Little Mermaid mischievously sprayed Hao Ren with water—boiling water.
Hao Ren jumped up on the spot with a "wow", but luckily his face has been strengthened and firmer now. Apart from being startled and a little hot, he was not disfigured by a mouthful of boiling water. Looking at the little mermaid swimming around in the pot, I felt that my brain was not enough. It took me a few seconds to realize that it was the egg that had hatched: let Lily cook it for a long time, and it actually hatched!
The life forms in the other world are indeed different from those on the earth.
Lily came over curiously and looked at it, her eyes immediately became a little straight, she thought for a long time with the logic of a husky and came to a conclusion: "Ah, it looks like it can't be eaten..."
The little mermaid didn't understand what Lily and Hao Ren were talking about, but just looked curiously at the world outside the pot. It was a pink and pretty little guy with a striking, light red tail, light brown hair, and big eyes. Full of cleverness and curiosity, I don't know if it is the same for all mermaid races. After hatching from the egg, this little guy has such an almost adult appearance, but his body is proportionally reduced to half a foot long. Nangong Wuyue in mermaid form shrinks to this extent, which is probably similar to the feeling of this little mermaid. The little guy was soaking in the water with his belly upside down. After a while, he probably felt bored, so he jumped out of the pot... towards the direction of the gas stove! "What the hell is this?" Lily wagged her tail and sniffed it, then licked the little guy's tail, "Although it's been cooked for a while, it doesn't seem to be cooked at all... Where did you find it, landlord?"
"Don't make trouble," Hao Ren slapped Lily away. "This is our new guest. I brought it back from 800 light years away—but the egg I just brought back was an egg. I didn't expect it to hatch after you cooked it. This world is really amazing."
Lily was dumbfounded: "Wow—"
"I think..." Hao Ren thought for a long time trying to find what he could do now. Finally he found that the little guy had no clothes on, "Let's get her some clothes first?" At this time, the little mermaid started to jump again. After jumping out of the pot, she seemed to find that the outside world was more spacious and interesting, so she was very interested in everything in the kitchen. They all became curious. Including the burning gas stove and the knife rack not far away, seeing the little guy eager to test his jumping ability, Hao Ren felt cold sweat profusely. He hurriedly asked Lily to find a basin to get some water, and then carefully He carefully transferred the little one to the basin. Before putting it in, he was worried that the little mermaid hatched in boiling water would not adapt to cold water, but the latter's ability to adapt to the environment is amazing, and he can swim around comfortably in cold water go. So Hao Ren boldly came to the living room with a water basin in his hand, and asked Lily to go to the second floor to call Nangong Wuyue down: "Sister Siren slept for a long time, it's time to get up by now."
Nangong Wuyue came to the living room and was shocked to see the little mermaid swimming in circles in the basin.
"This... is really boiled?" The siren girl had a look of disbelief, "Is she still swimming in boiling water?"
"It is said that there are deep-sea creatures that can survive in an environment of two to three hundred degrees. There are also microorganisms in the hot springs near the crater." Hao Ren smacked his lips, "but it's surprising that Lily hatched her by boiling her." By the way, can you find a dress for her in Wuyue? Although this little guy is not big... but it is always a bit strange to look naked."
Nangong Wuyue is also a master who doesn't know how to needle and thread, but she has an open mind. When she heard this, she immediately ran back to the house and brought down a roll of raw materials used by plumbers: "Use this to wrap it first..."
Hao Ren: "Is this okay?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. Anyway, let's make do with it. When Vivienne comes back, she should be able to do something. I've never seen a vampire who is better at housework than her," Nangong Wuyue gestured in front of the little mermaid with a raw material belt. , the little guy was startled immediately, jumped to the other side of the water basin, curled his tail into a ball, and kept hiding, as if he didn't like the strange white strip, Nangong Wuyue pouted, "Landlord , you help catch her."
Hao Ren tried to reach out to the little mermaid, and the little mermaid really trusted him more, and immediately held Hao Ren's thumb and did not let go. Seeing this, Nangong Wuyue laughed: "It seems that the little mermaid was born at first glance. It was you who arrived, and I regarded you as her mother."
Hao Ren: "..." He never thought that such a ridiculous thing would happen to him one day!
Under Hao Ren's reassurance, the little mermaid seemed to have finally let go of her hostility towards the raw material belt. With her mouth flattened, Nangong Wuyue wrapped her around her body twice, and she was able to put on clothes. However, she seemed to be a bit tired of the previous water basin. After returning to the water, she jumped onto the coffee table and began to stroll: she had no legs, so she could only hop forward, and there was no movement when she hopped. The way is to stand upright, so it is said to be a stroll, but in fact it is crawling and jumping forward, occasionally running forward with both hands and tail. This clumsy and daring move seems to be really interesting. This little guy seems to be very curious. When she was first transferred from the kitchen to the living room, she was indeed afraid for a while, but now she has fully adjusted to the new environment and began to boldly. Explore around.
However, it can be seen that this little guy still has all the characteristics of a cub: she is very concerned about the position of her "parents", and every time she climbs, she will turn her head to see if Hao Ren is sitting next to her, and when she finishes crawling around the coffee table After a lap, she was so satisfied that she simply jumped into Hao Ren's arms and did not move: it was time to rest.
The three people looked at it in amazement, and Lily stared at it for a long time: "Although I can't eat it, it seems to be quite fun!"
Nangong Wuyue also stretched out her fingers curiously to tease the little mermaid's chin: "It turns out that mermaids were like this when they were young... I don't know if other sea monsters were like this when they were young? I heard from my mother that normal sea monsters also lay eggs. Small, maybe so?"
There are many similar strange topics in this big house every day. Hao Ren has been used to listening to them for so long. He just kept an awkward posture holding the little mermaid to prevent her from falling out, and asked Nangong Wuyue for help: " Can you let her stay in the basin? I can't hold this all day long."
There was a reason for Hao Ren to be so worried: he moved his body a little bit just now, and he was a little inclined to throw the little mermaid back into the basin, but the little mermaid immediately jumped up, and the little mermaid slapped Hao Ren's arm with its tail and let out that sound. A sort of messy purring sound, like if you throw me back I'll bore you to death - it's clearly attached to someone.
"It seems that there is no way to communicate." Nangong Wuyue was quite worried. The cry made by the little mermaid was so weird that even the unbounded translation in the minds of the people present could not understand it. The cry was probably a child's raving, and there was no sound at all. Meaning kind. No one is even sure about the intelligence of this little mermaid: although she has shown strong curiosity and action, these actions are basically instinctive, and the mermaid cubs seem to be not much smarter than human babies Go, at most, the mobility of the newborn is stronger.
While the three of them were looking at the little mermaid helplessly, there was a sudden sound of the door opening from the direction of the entrance: Vivienne is back.
The vampire girl was carrying a net bag full of wild vegetables. As soon as she entered the door, she saw three people sitting around the coffee table and didn't know what they were studying. Inside Hao Ren's clothes, Vivian saw a fish tail swaying outside, so she said in surprise, "Eat this for dinner? Let's braise it, I'm good at it!"
Hao Ren & Nangong Wuyue & Lily: "..."
The days to come... seem to be more lively.
