Chapter 40 Restoring Memory
In fact, Jing Xiaoyu was not really aggrieved.

He even ignored the thought that was covered by the acupuncture pain before it even fully emerged.

When he stretched out his webbed fingers to reach his fish tail, the originally thin and soft scales had turned into hard beads, causing his webbed fingers to feel as if they were touching hard stones.

But Jing Xiaoyu still acted as if he had the energy to act coquettishly with his mother. He held the fish's tail and fiddled with it, making his mother think that he was much better, instead of holding him and circling around the reef, motionless.

Sure enough, after hearing what Jing Xiaoyu said, Jing Weiman withdrew his gaze from the distant sea, and looked at the little fish lying in his arms with a serious and arrogant look.

"Baby, you're questioning my genes. How could my baby not be beautiful? Very beautiful!"

Just then, he saw the dark tide in front of him slowly opening up from both sides, so he gently patted his little head and said, "We're here!"

First, a burst of glittering pink mist surged up on the sea surface. Jing Weiman took the cub and sank into the sea with his long tail.

In an instant, the dazzling and colorful sea creatures gathered from all directions of the deep sea, surrounding it and making way for it.

It was like a shimmering pink spread out in the water.

The fish tail is slender and gorgeous, flexible and strong, enough to change the direction of the waves, and it meets the waves with great power.

The fins dragging on both sides of the waist fin shimmered like a carefully cut tulle skirt, gently and slenderly lifting up the silver-blue little fish that was unable to swing its tail at this time.

Jing Xiaoyu was just like when he was born, clinging obediently to Jing Weiman's waist and being led forward by Jing Weiman.

Passing through the deep and narrow ice abyss, entering through a transparent water curtain that isolates the outside world.

It was a very large defensive crystal fortress complex.

Passing the polygonal middle embankment, an old and strong killer whale swam towards them. She sniffed Jing Weimian's face gently, gently waved the corner of her dorsal fin, and emitted a kind wave.

"Mianbao, bring the child up quickly."

Jing Weimian followed Grandma Luo and returned to her cave with her.

Perhaps she didn't expect Jing Weimian to come back so soon. The huge Grandma Luo was very happy to carry the two fish babies, one big and one small, on the way. After all, no matter whether it was Jing Weimian or Jing Xiaoyu, she watched them grow up.

When they got to the cave, Granny Luo transformed into a mermaid with shimmering silver hair. With a look of joy on her face, she lifted up Jing Weimian's pink webbed feet and said, "Mianbao, have you found your scale core yet?"

Jing Weimian paused and said truthfully, "I did find the scale core, but I haven't retrieved it yet."

She lowered her head to look at Jing Xiaoyu who had fallen asleep on her shoulder again without her noticing, and told Grandma Luo the reason for her temporary return to the Jin Yalis Sea.

"Uncle Zou said that this might be because something happened when I was pregnant, which caused the baby to have pearlization symptoms. But my mind is still blank about that time, and I can't remember anything, so... I came back to find my mother-in-law."

As he spoke, Jing Weimian raised his eyes again, looked at Grandma Luo and asked seriously: "Grandma, do you still remember what happened to me at that time?"

As Granny Luo listened, the smile on her face gradually faded. She followed Jing Weimian's gaze and looked at the two pearly tail fins drooping on the edge of Jing Weimian's wrist. Her voice trembled, "Baby Xiaoyu, he..."

Jing Weimian thought that Grandma Luo was worried about the baby's unexpected pearlization. Just as she was about to speak to comfort her, she heard Grandma Luo mutter, "How could it be so soon..."

Jing Weimian stared at him intently: "So soon? Mother-in-law, did you know something a long time ago?"

The stone walls of the cave were reflected with shimmering water ripples on both sides. Jing Weimian stared at Grandma Luo without blinking, and at this moment she clearly realized that things seemed not as simple as she thought.

Just as Grandma Luo was about to answer her, Jing Xiaoyu, who was lying on her neck, rubbed her sleepy eyes and mumbled in a baby voice, "Mom, I just saw my favorite rose snail..."

Jing Weimian lowered his head and asked, "Baby, do you want to play now?"

The little fish rubbed her ear fin gently.

After a while, Jing Weimian placed Jing Xiaoyu on the stone bed, looked up and said something to Grandma Luo, then left. After seeing Jing Weimian's figure swimming out of the cave, Jing Xiaoyu clumsily and laboriously moved his gradually stiffening tail fin and sat up.

"Grandma," Jing Xiaoyu looked at Grandma Luo who was guarding the stone bed and pleaded softly, "Please don't tell Mom."

Grandma Luo forced a smile: "Did baby Xiaoyu feel something?"

Jing Xiaoyu groaned, feeling somewhat frustrated and troubled. He pressed his tail fin and said, "That's right, I don't think it's going to get better."

"It hurts so much, I feel like I'm going to turn into sea water soon."

“It’s so hard for me to endure.”

"But I was afraid that my mother would lose her pearls, so I tried hard to hold back and prevent them from melting so quickly."

Grandma Luo patted the little guy's head, not knowing what to say, so she could only coax him: "Good boy."

Jing Xiaoyu curled up in pain again and carefully lay back on the stone bed. Her consciousness began to blur again. "Grandma, if Mom comes back... just say that Xiaoyu is sleepy... and fell asleep..."

Grandma Luo watched the little fish cub quickly curl up and fall asleep again. After a long while, she had to come out of the cave, but she was suddenly startled by Jing Weimian who was standing quietly outside the cave door.

"Mian Bao?..."

Jing Weimian had been keeping her eyes down quietly, but when she saw Grandma Luo coming out, she slightly turned her face to the side, silently caught something, and slightly raised her fish tail.

"Did you hear everything?"

Jing Weimian nodded slightly. She knew that the baby wanted to get her away, so she had never left the cave from the beginning.

Jing Weimian forced herself to suppress the pain in her heart, looked at Grandma Luo calmly and said, "Grandma, I want to know immediately what happened during that time. I must make the baby healthy again."

Granny Luo looked at her deeply for a moment, then said, "Come with me."

Granny Luo took Jing Weimian to the other end of the cave. Under the frozen reef in the abyss, she pried it open with her sharp dorsal fin and took out a coral pink shell box.

When Jing Weiman looked at him with a confused look, he opened the shell box.

Inside were two transparent pink hard scales.

"Mianbao, not long after you returned to the Jinyalis Sea, you personally plucked out two of your memory scales. So... you didn't forget those things, you just... peeled off these memories from yourself."

"As for why I mentioned Xiaoyu baby just now... it's because, before you peeled off the memory scales, you told me that you could only accompany Xiaoyu for three years at most..."

Jing Weimian was like a reef ice layer that had been torn apart before him. His eyes were immersed in the cold sea. He tried his best to control his unsteady voice and said, "This is impossible."

The flippers trembled slightly in the ocean current, and finally, they stretched out.

Take the shell box from Grandma Luo's hand.

As soon as the slender and sharp webbed fingers touched the two transparent pink scales, a sharp light flashed violently. The scales sensed her breath and attached themselves from the fingertips like a magnet, automatically fitting into the position of the scales she had peeled off.

In that moment.

Jing Weimian seemed to be trapped in a net, all his strength was sucked away, and only his respiratory system was struggling to inhale and exhale.

Immediately afterwards, the blank memory and chaos painfully rushed back into the depths of his brain.
