Tom Cat breaks through the dimensional wall.

It was obvious that the fisherman had not given up on rescuing Arthur.

Or.

He just wanted to salvage Arthur's body.

After all, he saw with his own eyes Arthur appear in his fishing net, break free from the net and dive into the lake.

But by now almost half an hour had passed.

But no one was seen floating up to the surface of the lake.

In their opinion, the man had probably drowned in there.

In this case, calling the police and calling a salvage team are both very normal options.

It’s just that the biological characteristics of mermaids are too obvious.

Once it is exposed to the world, it will definitely cause a big riot.

The old magic book could only hope that Tom had finished dealing with the matter.

"Wow!"

At the same time, Tom broke through the water and quietly emerged from the unnoticed lakeside.

It also noticed the salvage team. Fortunately, it acted quickly and persuaded Arthur first, and sent him to the sea in Storybrooke.

He shook off the water on his body.

Tom walked around the lake and returned to the old magic book.

Seeing Tom come back, the old magic book also shouted happily: "Mr. Mayor, is everything done?!"

Tom gave a thumbs up proudly.

The mermaid king is quite stubborn.

Fortunately, he is not stupid.

If you don't go to Storybrooke, you will disappear without a trace.

Of course he knew what to choose.

But even so, the two sides still spent quite a bit of time communicating with each other.

Returned to Storybrooke with the old magic book.

Naturally, Tom has to start his journey to complete the story again.

This time, there is no need to turn pages of the magic book, it already knows the story world it wants to go to.

It is the well-known "The Daughter of the Sea".

If Arthur wasn't lying.

It is still Andersen's original version of "The Daughter of the Sea".

Well... maybe there are some elements of Disney animated movies mixed in.

After all, in the original fairy tales, many characters didn’t even have names.

A familiar space vortex appeared, and Tom jumped directly into it!

After Tom came to his senses, he found that his body had undergone great changes.

At this moment, Tom was like the mermaid Arthur, with his upper body filled with explosive muscles.

Its lower body turned into a pair of powerful fish tails.

At this moment, it was sitting on the throne.

Next to the throne, there was a golden trident.

Or, you can call it the Trident of Neptune.

This trident is a genuine artifact.

With it, you can control the world's waters and marine life.

It is the symbol of a true king.

Tom grasped the trident and rushed out of the underwater palace like a sharp arrow.

After swimming to a certain height, Tang Mu turned around and looked towards the direction of the palace.

Below is a seabed covered with white sand.

The most amazing trees and plants grow there.

Their branches and leaves are soft, and as long as the sea water flows gently, they will sway, full of vitality unique to the seabed.

All the fish, big and small, swam among the branches like birds flying through the woods.

The deepest place was the palace where Tang Mu had just been.

Tom admired it carefully.

I discovered that its walls were made of coral, and its tall pointed windows were made of the brightest amber.

The roof is covered with black clam shells. As the water flows, the shells open and close automatically, revealing the big, shining pearls inside.

Any one of these pearls, if brought to land, would become a treasure that even the queen would fight for.

The wealth in the ocean is undoubtedly endless.

As the king of the seabed, in this era, Tom is actually the master of the world.

"Father?"

Just as Tom was admiring the wonders of the seabed, a pleasant voice woke him up.

Looking back, I saw a little mermaid with bright red hair, eyes as blue as the sea, and skin as white and smooth as milk.

"Ariel?"

Tom spoke, using the mermaid's special vocalization method.

"Is it really you? Why are you growing hair?"

Ariel swam towards Tom with her tail wagging. She reached out and touched Tom's fur, her face full of confusion and curiosity.

"Um……"

Tang Mu smacked his lips, not knowing how to answer.

Ariel pinched Tom's cat ears again.

When I found that it would shake naturally as a reaction, I immediately found it interesting and started laughing.

"Wow~"

As the bubbles rolled, Ariel happily circled around Tom and said happily, "I'm almost fifteen years old. Can I go out to the sea?"

This is the rule of mermaids.

Only when they are fifteen years old are they allowed to float to the surface of the sea to see the human world and the scenery on the sea.

Tom has six daughters in total.

Ariel is the youngest among them.

In other words, by the time Ariel was able to float to the surface, the eldest princess had already seen the outside world six years ago.

But none of Ariel's sisters desired it as much as Ariel did.

And it is Ariel who has to wait the longest.

And now, she is almost fifteen years old.

Finally it was her turn to rise to the surface.

"Of course!"

Tom gave a very Disney smile.

It wondered whether it should change Ariel's ending a little bit.

If this was just a Disney animated movie, even though Ariel is a little love-sick, it wouldn't be a big problem.

At least it's a happy ending.

And the prince in the anime version is also okay.

But in the original fairy tale version, Ariel is really a bit tragic.

In pursuit of her soul, she not only fell in love with a prince whose morals were still in the Middle Ages, but in the end she was turned into foam because of a curse.

Although Ariel did not die completely because of this.

Instead, they are upgraded to elves. As long as they collect 300 children's smiles or do good deeds for 300 years, they can pass God's test, obtain their own soul, and ascend to heaven.

This ending looks good, but it also reveals a sense of religious coldness and sacrifice.

Ariel said it herself.

Sad and heartbroken about being away from my family.

Tang Mu thought about it and there was only one solution.

Since Ariel wants an eternal soul and to feel complete emotions, then give her an eternal soul.

It’s not just Ariel.

So do all the mermaids.

Tom was very strange.

Mermaids, like humans, are creatures with emotions and high intelligence.

Why is it that in the world view of "The Daughter of the Sea", mermaids are just bodies without souls?

To gain a soul is not to find a lover.

It is to be upgraded to an elf and then accept God's three hundred years of test.

Humans are born with these.

In other worlds, all living things have souls.

In the Eastern worldview, even snakes, insects, rats and ants have their own souls, and can even be reincarnated or cultivated into demons.

When Tang Mu thought of this, he looked up at the sky with an unhappy look.

It's that old guy God causing trouble again.

It's quite annoying.

"Father, father?"

Ariel looked at Tom standing there in a daze, and stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of Tom's eyes.

Tang Mu finally reacted and shook his head to indicate that everything was fine.

Ariel always felt that her father was acting strange today.

But I can’t really tell what’s strange about it.

Finally, he just said, "I'm going to find my grandmother."

As he spoke, he stirred up a cloud of foam and swam towards the palace below.

Soon, Ariel arrived at the Queen Mother's room.

The Queen Mother loved the youngest princess very much.

As soon as I saw Ariel coming, I immediately knew why she came.

"Now you are 15 years old, you can leave our hands."

Grandmother smiled and said, "Come, let me dress you up like your sisters."

So she put a ring in the little girl's hair made of lilies, but each petal was half a pearl.

The old lady also attached eight large oysters tightly to the princess's tail to show her noble status.

Ariel looked at herself in the mirror, turned around, and suddenly looked at her grandmother with a dejected look, saying, "This makes me feel really bad."

As she spoke, she pulled up her beautiful fiery red hair: "This is a bit too heavy."
