Instead of lying amongst the wreckage of its eggshells, the baby mermaid gracefully glided in the water, its tail undulating rhythmically as it swam upward, causing its shiny and translucent scales to shimmer with iridescent beauty.
To be more precise, it was not a baby at all.
It was a little girl with a head full of thick, brownish hair, and a pair of big, round eyes the color of deep blue sea.
"Wahhhhhhh!!!" When she caught sight of Jiang Muchen, she immediately clenched her tiny fists and began to bawl hysterically.
"Wahhhhhh!!!"
"..."
Jiang Muchen was rendered speechless by this atypical reaction. Did lions eat mermaids in ancient times, or what? Why was the little girl so terrified of him?
Zhou Guiying reached out and pulled the little girl into his arms. Cuddling her close to his chest, he then soothed the newborn with a soft voice.
