Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 128 Is Grandma bribing me?
After the Queen called Jing Xiaoyu back, she did not immediately tell the little boy anything.

She turned to her servants and instructed them to prepare a nutritious meal in the adjacent hall, according to the mermaid cub's eating preferences.

Jing Xiaoyu couldn't figure out what his grandmother was up to, but he was certain of one thing.

Although Grandma appears cold, stern, and unapproachable on the surface, her cold attitude softens whenever it involves Mom or anything that Mom cares about.

Like now.

The Queen sat across the lavish dining table, watching Jing Xiaoyu eat for a while before finally speaking with a subtle expression, her tone so serious it was as if she were negotiating with a cub across the table:
"Jing Xiaoyu, you are not allowed to tell Xiaobao what I just said to you."

Jing Xiaoyu held the exquisite and beautiful pelvis, secretly suppressing a laugh, as if he could imagine how worried his grandmother was that he would run to tell his mother.

After a moment, he calmly raised his little face and glanced around the dining table. "So, Grandma was bribing me."

The Queen maintained her composed and calculating expression: "Let's accept it as such."

Jing Xiaoyu pressed down on the corners of her slightly upturned lips, "Alright then, I won't tell Mom."

The queen finally breathed a sigh of relief, her tense back relaxed, and she raised her chin to instruct the servants to bring in some more seafood.

After waiting for the mermaid cub across the table to finish eating, he took the initiative to ask Jing Xiaoyu about some things that happened during her childhood.

Jing Xiaoyu answered very seriously, telling his grandmother everything that had happened since he was hatched.

When talking about the three years he lived with his mother in the sea of ​​Jin Yalis, Jing Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment because he had not yet remembered this memory. However, he quickly continued, repeating what his mother had told him during the time he raised his tail in the pink ocean to his grandmother.

When the Queen first heard Jing Xiaoyu talk about living with his biological father in the human star field, her face remained calm and composed, without any change in expression.

Until Jing Xiaoyu mentioned the three years he lived with Xiaobao before he was re-incubated, the Queen immediately frowned, displaying a double standard:

"You mean, Xiao Bao gave birth to you alone and raised you to the age of three all by himself, and during those three years, your human biological father, who was Xiao Bao's partner, never spent a single day with him?"

Regarding this point, Jing Xiaoyu had also asked his mother about it when he was in the pink ocean, so he truthfully relayed his mother's answer to his grandmother.

"Mom said it was because her scale core energy was too powerful that Dad, who was forced to receive the scale core, lost that memory."

Upon hearing this, the Queen remained silent, then raised her webbed hand and pressed it to her brow.

Jing Xiaoyu sensed something and became slightly nervous: "Grandma?"

"Is he really that good? So good that Xiao Bao would even give up the most important scale core on a mermaid's body?"

The Queen knew it wasn't worth getting angry with Xiao Bao's offspring, but she still felt a surge of anger, so she got up without waiting for the little guy's reply and said, "Never mind, I'll go check on Xiao Bao."

Jing Xiaoyu was worried and quickly followed.

However, when they returned to the bedchamber, they found the bedsheets and nests on the bed were in disarray, and the pink little fish that should have been sleeping inside was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Xiaobao?"

As soon as Jing Xiaoyu entered, she noticed that the bedside was empty. Seeing that her grandmother looked tense and was about to give orders, she quickly stopped her and said:
"Grandma, please calm down. Mom's presence is near the palace. Shall we go look for her? Mom is still just a little mermaid, even smaller than me, and she just came ashore from the Sea of ​​Lunar Eclipse. If we summon the soldiers to search directly, I'm afraid the commotion will frighten her." Hearing this, the Queen finally regained some of her senses. She agreed and split up with Jing Xiaoyu to search.

Jing Xiaoyu followed the traces of her mother's presence to search for the past.

Soon, not far behind the sleeping quarters, in a sea forest that connects with the sea of ​​clouds and intertwines into a forest, they tracked down the last place where the aura stopped.

Jing Xiaoyu swam along the shallows, flicking her tail, until she reached a tree canopy protruding above the water. Looking up from the surface, she saw, as expected—

The pink little fish leaned crookedly against a thin tree trunk, its tiny tail tip curling around the branch. Its little face was pressed against a cluster of leaves, its closed eyelashes were a little damp, and its eyelids were pink, as if it had just been crying.

A gentle breeze rustled through the sea of ​​clouds, making the branches and leaves of the trees seem as if they might blow his young mother down at any moment.

Jing Xiaoyu looked worriedly at the little fish mother clinging to the tree branch, and finally couldn't help but call out to her, "Mommy, Mommy?"

Little Fish vaguely heard Jing Xiaoyu calling her. She rubbed her eyes and accidentally dropped a pinkish-white pearl, which Jing Xiaoyu caught in her hands.

Jing Xiaoyu looked down at the pearls in her little hand, then looked up again and asked worriedly, "Mom, what's wrong?"

The little fish was woken up and started whimpering in pain, biting the tip of its tail. It told Jing Xiaoyu with some sadness, "My tail hurts."

She was in so much pain that she couldn't help but shed several tears, but she was afraid that her mother would worry if she saw them, so she secretly ran away.

I originally intended to bear it for a while, until the pain in my tail subsided and I stopped crying so easily, before going back.

As a result, they were found not long after they sneaked out.

The little fish thought for a moment, then curled itself into a tiny ball again, and bravely rubbed its tail with its webbed feet, trying to relieve the pain.

Looking at this scene, Jing Xiaoyu suddenly understood. He breathed a slight sigh of relief, adopting a composed demeanor.

"Mommy isn't afraid. It's because Mommy's tail is starting to grow. In a couple of days, the fish bones on her tail will grow stronger than before, and then Mommy will be able to swim very fast in the sea."

The little fish's reddened eyes widened in surprise. "Really? You're not sick?"

"Really, I'm not lying to Mom."

As Jing Xiaoyu spoke, she proactively spread out her two little webbed hands, "Mommy, you come down first."

The little fish hesitated for only a moment, then twisted its tail and climbed down the branch. When it couldn't find anything to hold onto, it jumped down without hesitation.

Jing Xiaoyu held her little fish mother tightly.

The little fish was going to go into the water by itself, but Jing Xiaoyu was worried that her mother's tail would hurt, so she decided to carry her mother back to the bedroom first, and then go to find her grandmother.

On the way back, Xiaoyu tugged at Jing Xiaoyu's webbed hands and secretly asked him, "Can we not tell Mother?"

Before Jing Xiaoyu could even agree, she heard the Queen's cold, sharp voice approaching from afar, "What does Xiaobao not want to tell his mother?"
