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

Chapter 39 Mom, the tail is not beautiful anymore

"Baby……"

She stared at the cold little pearl in her palm, as if sharp and chaotic magnetic waves were passing through her skull, and the buzzing sound almost covered all her senses.

Jing Weimian quickly realized what was going on and reached deeper into the shell. Sure enough, he found several tiny pearls around the curled-up little fish.

When you spread them out, you'll see they're all flat, oddly shaped, dull pearls without any luster.

Jing Weimian felt as if his heart was being suffocated.

Until the door was pushed open again, Lu Lianbai led Academician Zou who had hurried over in.

Academician Zou realized that something was wrong after just one look at the deformed pearl in her hand. He turned around and found an excuse to send Lu Lianbai away, saying that he needed Lu Lianbai to get a medicine from the medical department for him.

After listening to this, Lu Lianbai pursed his lips, his eyes slowly and seriously swept across Jing Weimian's profile, then looked at the little mermaid cub curled up in the shell. He didn't ask any more questions at this juncture, but just promised Jing Weimian seriously, "I will be back as soon as possible."

When the sound of the starship's engine quickly faded away from the sky above the courtyard, Academician Zou reached out and gently patted the shoulder of Jing Weimian, who was still in a daze. "Weimian, let me see what you have in your hand."

Jing Weimian came back to his senses a little and stiffly released the pearls he was holding in his fist.

Academician Zou carefully examined each pearl, his brow furrowing even more. He murmured, "Xiao Yu is a mermaid cub. Even if he was injected with the mutant liquid, he would only have a fever for a few days at most. The mermaid's powerful healing system would allow him to fully recover."

"What's more, Weimian, you have been staying by Xiaoyu's side for the past two days, comforting her, lowering her fever, and applying medicine. The condition shouldn't have deteriorated like this."

"No, this isn't deterioration, it's pearlization."

"Pearlization?" Jing Weiman opened his mouth slightly, and his voice seemed to be about to freeze into ice.

Academician Zou nodded, his expression growing more serious. "I'm afraid the mutant liquid injected into Xiaoyu's scales has accelerated her transformation into a pearl. But since she's already transformed into a pearl, it means something must have happened to her before that led to this hidden danger."

Jing Weimian was stunned for a moment, and without caring about the little fish in the shell's stubborn resistance, Jing Weimian carefully took it out. Then, as expected, he found that half of the tail fin of the little fish, which was curled up tightly into a ball, had become pearly.

This is fatal to the mermaid.

Jing Weimian stretched out his hand, but didn't dare to touch it.

Her head was spinning, and she heard herself speak calmly, "No, the baby has been by my side since birth and has never left me. The baby has always been a healthy little fish..."

Before she finished speaking, Academician Zou interrupted her softly, "Weimian, there is another possibility. Did anything happen to you when you were pregnant with Xiaoyu?"

Jing Weiman raised her head and glanced at Academician Zou. It seemed that a strange emotion was climbing up from the bottom of her heart. She frowned slightly and lowered her head, looking at the little fish in her arms. Her eyes jumped to her flat belly, and her firm eyes seemed to be invisibly weakened a little.

After a moment of silence, he moved his lips and said, "I... can't remember."

But how could it be?

The memory of being pregnant should have been a very important moment for her.

How come it's like someone deliberately erased it and I can't remember anything at all?

Academician Zou: "When Xiaoyu was born, was there anyone by your side?"

Jing Weimian nodded, "Yes, Grandma Luo is with me."

After hearing this, Academician Zou finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Once the mermaid is completely transformed into a pearl, her life will be in danger. Weimian, you need to take Xiaoyu back to the Jin Yalis waters and ask Yan Luo about what happened that year. Only by finding out the reason why Xiaoyu turned into a pearl as soon as possible can we prescribe the right medicine." Jing Weimian nodded in approval and immediately went to pack his luggage.

She looked very calm as she only packed some necessary things. When she was about to board the starship arranged by Uncle Zou to leave, she suddenly paused for a moment.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Jing Weimian paused and said, "Uncle Zou, please tell Lu Lianbai about the question he asked me. I will answer him when I come back."

"okay, I get it."

Academician Zou watched Jing Weiman leave from the sky above the capital planet on a starship with a set route, and almost not long after the starship disappeared from the night sky, Lu Lianbai arrived at the Fourth Street.

At this time, Lu Lianbai still didn't know that Jing Weiman had left. He protected the medicine that Academician Zou needed and delivered it safely all the way. The first thing he asked after entering the courtyard was Academician Zou.

"Xiao Yu, is this a side effect of the alienation liquid? I remember that Xingjian Research Institute conducted a gene recovery experiment on alienated test subjects. If this is really the case—"

Academician Zou took the medicine and apologized to Lu Lianbai, "General, Xiaoyu's condition is critical. He needs to leave the capital planet and go to another place for treatment. So... Weimian didn't have time to say goodbye to you just now before taking Xiaoyu away."

There was silence for about two or three seconds.

Lu Lianbai nodded calmly, "Is the destination far? The travel procedures for the various star regions of the empire are complicated. I can help greet the local star regions in advance."

"Not within the Imperial Star Territory."

Academician Zou couldn't see the expression on his face, but after thinking about it, he repeated to him word for word what Jing Weiman had said before he left.

However, Lu Lianbai only responded calmly after hearing this and said, "Then I'll leave first."

The warning lights in the starship cockpit flickered, appearing and disappearing on Lu Lianbai's deep-cut face. He sat in the cockpit, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, his dark eyes moved slightly, he turned on the communicator, and calmly gave an order to the empire's first-star port.

"Send me the ship numbers of all the starships that left the Imperial star zone today."

……

The fog that had not yet dispersed at dawn was like a sky curtain hanging over the wet blue sea.

And in the center of this lingering sea fog, there is a surging dark current and ice abyss that is difficult to see.

Jing Xiaoyu, who was lying on Jing Weiman's neck, smelled the long-lost breath of the deep sea. He opened his eyes from his drowsiness, and the cool water vapor hit his face, which restored some vitality to the originally weak little fish.

Jing Xiaoyu listened to the familiar sound of the waves rising and falling, and instinctively wanted to swing his tail hard to swim into the sea.

But when he lowered his head, he saw that his two tail fins had gradually turned into beads and were resting on Jing Weimian's wrist, like a dying fish.

Jing Xiaoyu scratched her fish tail a little aggrievedly and covered it with her little hand.

"Mom, the tail isn't pretty anymore."
