I was born a god, the son of the Demon Lord.

Xu Nanyi was also thinking about this question.

She tilted her head and asked Hailey, "Haley, how did you know I lived here?"

Hailey scratched the back of her head, and her curly hair swayed twice.

"Hmm... would you believe me if I said I suddenly felt your presence? It was that kind of super strong intuition! Like someone was calling me! So I swam over following my feeling!"

Before Xu Nanyi could ask the next question, "Why could you sense me..."

The wall of the inn behind them exploded with a loud "boom"!

Large fragments of giant clam shells and coral debris, along with seawater, surged into the room. A silver-white mermaid figure flew in backward through the hole and crashed into the wall with a "thud," cracking half of the wall.

The mermaid slumped among the broken tiles, her silver scales on her chest torn in several places, a trickle of pale blue blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, her whole body leaning there, panting heavily, barely alive.

Outside the hole, Lin Qingyue held a long spear in one hand, her figure like a silver-blue afterimage as she entered the water. The tip of the spear was half an inch in front of the opponent's throat, and the water rippled outwards from the spear tip, creating one ripple after another.

Her long hair was spread out in the seawater, her gaze was as cold as a knife, and her whole person was shrouded in a layer of murderous aura.

"Aunt Yue!"

Xu Nanyi and Shen Xizhou shouted it out in unison.

Hailey's eyes widened suddenly, and she lunged forward to stand in front of the silver-white mermaid, spreading her arms to block Lin Qingyue's spear: "Father!"

Xu Nanyi and Shen Xizhou were both stunned.

"...Father?"

The silver-white mermaid, slumped on the ground, was still clutching a coral net she hadn't had time to cast, intending to take advantage of the chaos to fight back. But when she turned her head and saw her own daughter blocking her way, she froze, and the coral net in her hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

"Haley! What are you doing here?!"

"Auntie, Auntie, he's not a bad person! He's my father! He really is my father! Please don't kill him!"

Lin Qingyue looked down at the little merman blocking the spear tip, then looked up at the silver-white mermaid slumped behind the broken wall, and then looked down at Hailey's anxious face that was about to cry.

"...Say that again? What is he to you?"

"My father! Father, please say something!"

Wei Shenglan clutched the wound on his chest, struggled to sit up halfway, and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "...My dear daughter, Daddy's alright."

Looking at the scene before her, Lin Qingyue wondered if her mermaid bloodline had been cursed.

The merman, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, had a daughter who was seven or eight years old.

Is this reasonable?

She made a wish to go out on a mission and brought back a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, and became a mother overnight.

She silently accepted it at the time, after all, it's the cultivation world, and who can say for sure what kind of fate will bring you together?

Then there was the silver-tailed merman who looked clearly underage, whom the last guardian of the fifth generation called "father."

Lin Qingyue couldn't help but silently review her life in her heart.

She wished to find two babies and became a mother.

Lin Qingyue made a trip to the Dream Sea and became an aunt.

Are children in the cultivation world now prone to recognizing relatives anytime, anywhere?

Should we add another generation to the family, including the master's master, to make it eight generations under one roof?

Xu Nanyi stood aside, looking at Wei Shenglan's long silver hair, then at Hailey's curly blue and silver hair, and then at the round eyes that were almost identical between the two.

Not really.

Xu Nanyi took two steps forward, gently hugged Lin Qingyue's gun barrel with her small hands, and looked up at Lin Qingyue with her round eyes.

"Aunt Yue, let's put the gun down first. I feel there's been a misunderstanding."

Shen Xizhou quickly chimed in, "That's right! Let's talk this out first! What if we hurt her? Hailey will be crying!"

Wei Shenglan took a few breaths to catch her breath, clutched her chest to calm herself, looked at Hailey who was blocking her way, then at the person opposite her who was pointing a gun at her, and then at the little girl holding the gun barrel.

……

Half an hour later.

The wall of the inn that was smashed has been temporarily patched up with seashells and coral. Although the patch is crooked and uneven, at least it doesn't leak.

The octopus musician was asked to leave, leaving only a table, a few chairs, and a group of people sitting around the table in the lobby.

Xu Nanyi held a cup of coral honey tea, a specialty of the seabed, and sipped it slowly as Wei Shenglan and Lin Qingyue pieced together the whole story. The more she listened, the more she felt that this world was a huge makeshift operation.

Let's first discuss why Wei Shenglan attacked Lin Qingyue.

Wei Shenglan is Hai Zhaoyue's admirer, the kind of admiration he's had since childhood. The two grew up together, one a royal guard and the other a princess, and can be considered childhood sweethearts.

Hai Zhaoyue is now the Crown Princess, while Lin Qingyue is the eldest princess of the Sea Emperor. She suddenly ran away many years ago and has not returned since. Now that she has suddenly returned, Wei Shenglan's first reaction is that the other party has returned to seize the throne.

Once this thought crossed Wei Shenglan's mind, she couldn't sit still.

The position of Crown Princess that his beloved had finally secured was snatched away by someone who suddenly returned, and he couldn't stand it no matter what.

He was on duty when Lin Qingyue entered the palace today, and he became even more wary when he saw the little mermaid projection that Lin Qingyue released from the shadows.

Wei Shenglan thought to himself that Lin Qingyue was the daughter of the Sea Emperor and the sister of his beloved, so she was not easy to kill.

He thought he'd knock her out and throw her far away, so that by the time Lin Qingyue woke up and came back, it would be too late.

As a result, he was halfway through following Lin Qingyue when he was discovered and beaten up.

Furthermore, how did Wei Shenglan find out that she had a daughter?

When I fell through that spatial rift, I landed right on the beach!

That day, Wei Shenglan was off duty and went out of town to hunt. He saw a little mermaid lying on the beach, covered in wounds.

Upon getting closer, I realized that this little mermaid looked remarkably like my sweetheart!

Without saying a word, he took the other person back to his residence and almost went bankrupt trying to treat their injuries.

As a result, as soon as Hailey opened her eyes and saw Wei Shenglan, she rushed over and cried out for her father.

As for why Wei Shenglan believed the other person was his daughter, it was purely because Hailey's not-so-bright little brain revealed everything.

She revealed that she was Wei Shenglan's future daughter, Wei Shenglan was Hai Zhaoyue's consort, and so on.

Wei Shenglan was shocked, but she was also incredibly excited!

However, he didn't overlook the possibility that the other party was lying to him. After testing with the bloodline secret method, the result was indeed true!

In the future, she actually got together with the person she had been longing for for many years! And they even had a lovely daughter!

That night, Wei Shenglan was so excited that she couldn't sleep and bombarded Hailey with questions.
