After coming ashore, the little mermaid was pampered by his five fathers.

After the man in the white tuxedo left, the man threw the battered little mermaid into the fish tank.

The fish tank is filled with seawater, which allows it to heal its wounds on its own.

Fearing that the little mermaid would starve and he would suffer the consequences, the man placed fresh fish and seaweed on a small tray on top of the fish tank.

Humans have some understanding of mermaids, and basically know what they like to eat and what their preferences are.

"Eat if you're hungry, don't say I didn't give you any."

With a cold remark, the man picked up the pearls from the ground, wrapped them in his clothes, and left.

The iron gate slammed shut.

The little mermaid curled up at the bottom of the fish tank, tears streaming down her face.

He wants his grandfather, he doesn't want his father anymore.

He was wrong; he shouldn't have run away.

woo woo woo...

Meanwhile, chaos erupted in the underwater palace.

The Mermaid King discovered that his only grandson was missing and immediately ordered his fish soldiers to search for him.

Upon learning that her grandson might have gone ashore, she was extremely anxious and restless.

"Send Mu Chen to the land and make sure he finds the little prince. Also, take the little prince's favorite things with him. If he doesn't come back, take good care of him."

"Also, inform the mermaids on land and tell them to do everything they can to find the Little Prince."

"Yes," the fish servant replied.

The Mermaid King had golden hair, a golden fishtail that shimmered beneath him, and golden eyes filled with anxiety and unease.

His grandson was born without parents and was physically weak. If it weren't for his careful care, he probably wouldn't have lived to be fifty.

Now that we've gone ashore, it would be fine if we encountered kind-hearted humans, but what if we encountered those with bad intentions?

If something happens to Ranran, how will he face Zheng'er after he dies?

陆园

The courtyard is in the Chinese style, with artificial hills and streams, swaying willows, and beautiful garden scenery and green lawns everywhere.

The main courtyard is a two-story building, exquisitely and ornately decorated, full of ancient charm.

In the study on the second floor, the air was filled with the fragrance of incense. A man wearing a white casual shirt sat in a chair in front of a sandalwood desk, looking at the documents in his hands.

The eyes hidden behind the gold-rimmed glasses were sharp and deep, without a trace of emotion.

knock knock knock

"Master, Hao Tingfang has sent an invitation, inviting you to attend the auction tonight." Assistant Jiang Wen placed the white invitation on the table and pushed it towards the man.

Lu Lingzhou picked it up and saw a small slip of paper inside, which contained the auction items.

The last one, a mermaid, is written in bright red and stands out prominently.

"What, you've found a mermaid again?"

"I don't know, but I heard there was a commotion over there last night."

Lu Lingzhou tossed the invitation aside and ignored it.

But he still went that night; he was dragged there by someone.

"Hey Lao Lu, come with your brother for a bit, that's a mermaid."

"You know I've always dreamed of having one."

"Let's go, let's go, hurry up!"

Lu Lingzhou was pulled into a private room on the second floor and sat down to watch the auction below.

"Can't you be quiet for a bit?"

He looked at the excited Li Yang with a look of disgust.

Li Yang turned his head, his tone firm, "No, that's a mermaid."

"Let me tell you, most of the people here today are here for that mermaid."

Lu Lingzhou had no idea. Looking at the auction that hadn't started yet, he stood up and said, "You wait here, I'm going to the restroom."

"Okay, go ahead." Li Yang rested his chin on his hand, his eyes focused intently on the auction below, his heart pounding with excitement.

Mermaid, his mermaid.

It must be taken away tonight.

Lu Lingzhou went to the restroom, and while he was washing his hands after tidying up, he happened to hear some noise coming from the stall.

He assumed someone was in the cubicle, so he didn't pay much attention, took a tissue to wipe his hands clean, and prepared to leave.

But the sound behind me grew louder and louder.

He frowned, sensing something was wrong, and turned to walk over.

"Hello, do you need any help?"

No one answered from the cubicle.

Lu Lingzhou stepped forward and saw several pearls pop out from the gap under the partition.

At the same time, a soft, sweet voice rang out, "Ah..."

There was also a knocking sound on the door.

They seemed a bit impatient.

Lu Lingzhou sensed something was wrong and reached out to push the door open.

The door wasn't closed; it opened with a push.

But there was no one in the cubicle.

Looking at the blue hair peeking through the crack behind the door and smelling the faint fishy smell in the air, Lu Lingzhou made a guess.

He stepped up the stairs and into the cubicle, where a large red barrel lay overturned on the floor.

He gently pulled the door open.

A small blue mermaid baby was curled up in a corner, covered in wounds, with tears in the corners of her eyes. The crystal tears slid down her face and turned into pearls, falling to the ground with a pattering sound.

Is this the mermaid that will be auctioned tonight?

They are indeed very cute.

But how did he end up here?

Or is he implicated, and the mermaid being auctioned is his relative?

The little mermaid Shui Yuran looked at the glowing crystal on her neck.

He looked at Lu Lingzhou with excitement.

"Ah..." Dad.

The little mermaid wiggled her tail, rushed over, hugged his leg, and cried sadly.

"Ah." Dad.

Dad came to find Ranran.

Suddenly, a small bundle hugged his leg, and Lu Lingzhou stiffened, afraid to move.

But seeing the little mermaid crying sadly, with pearls falling all over the ground, he couldn't help but squat down and reach out to touch her cheek.

"No, don't cry." He dryly comforted the little mermaid.

But the little mermaid seemed to understand, and she really stopped crying.

A pair of deep blue eyes, like the ocean, gazed at him with innocent and obedient eyes.

Lu Lingzhou, feeling soft-hearted, picked up the little mermaid.

As soon as I picked her up, her soft little hands wrapped around his neck, and her little body pressed tightly against his chest.

"Ah... ba..." Dad.

Lu Lingzhou was at a loss, stiffly patting his back gently, "Don't cry."

The little cub was so soft; he was afraid that if he exerted too much force, it would be gone.

"Where did you come from? Do you want me to take you home?"

But as soon as she finished speaking, the little cub in her arms started crying again, pearls fell all over her chest, and she shook her head hurriedly.

"what……"

No, don't send Ranran back.

They will hit Ranran.

The cub didn't seem to be able to speak, and Lu Lingzhou was also a little unsure of what to do.

Just then, a cleaner walked in, lowering his voice.

"My little darling, my little darling."

Little darling?

She was probably calling for the little cub in her arms.

Lu Lingzhou carried the cub outside, and he could clearly see that the old man's face was full of astonishment and fear, and he even took two steps back.

"you……"

"Ah." Oh, old man.

The little mermaid saw the old man and happily greeted him.

The old man's expression softened considerably upon seeing him.

"Sweetie, are you going with this gentleman?"

He was stopped last night and couldn't rescue Xiaoguai. Today, he drugged those people and stole Xiaoguai while cleaning.

I wanted to take him with me, but he really couldn't protect my little darling.

Or rather, he couldn't even get out of the hotel.

The person before me is no ordinary person; if he is willing, he could be a good match for my little darling.

"ah."

The little mermaid nodded and hugged Lu Lingzhou's neck tightly, a big smile on her face.

He wants to go with his father.

Lu Lingzhou was quite surprised to be so close to a child for the first time.

They had only met once, and she was already willing to go with him?

Aren't you afraid he might be a bad person?
