Even Emerald Green, who wasn't interested in such group activities, was forcefully dragged over by the domineering Golden Yuanbao.
“You Yan.”
Feicui Zi, you won't make friends if you're not social.
Emerald Green: “...”
When did it say it wanted to make friends?
It doesn't need friends!
Also, its name is Emerald Green, not Feicui Zi!
Although unwilling, Emerald Green was still dragged to the detection room because its strength was inferior.
Mingxi was naturally happy to see this.
Emerald Green's situation was much more serious than Lan Yue's previous one.
More importantly, it was an old sly fox nearing a hundred years old, completely different from Lan Yue, who, though pitiful, still had a very simple personality.
Mingxi could imagine that truly getting into Emerald Green's heart would be very difficult, possibly a very long process, or even one without a result.
However, Mingxi didn't feel that much pressure. frёeωebɳovel.com
Many things couldn't be forced; it was better to let nature take its course.
Entering the detection room, the incubation progress displayed on the incubator screen had indeed reached 99.8%.
“Luo Luo.”
Little Silver Flower somehow got a handheld smart camcorder and was earnestly filming the eggshell.
Mingxi was startled and leaned over to take a look.
“Where did this come from?”
She didn't remember buying a camcorder for Little Silver Flower.
At this moment, the small screen of the camcorder already showed a picture.
The picture was very stable and not shaky at all.
Both the light intake and depth of field were just right.
It even captured a background blur effect!
And the composition looked very reasonable.
Mingxi didn't understand photography, but her aesthetic sense was normal; at least she could tell that the pictures Little Silver Flower took were beautiful.
Mingxi: (●)o(●)????
Was Little Silver Flower possessed by some photographer?
“Little Silver Flower, what's going on with you?”
Well, it couldn't even speak properly.
Little Silver Flower was busy filming, but it was clear that it still loved its sister very much.
It replied in its spare time.
Mingxi suddenly understood.
It turned out that during her three-day Martial Exam, Little Silver Flower had been curious about that single-lens camera, secretly observing and learning, and then after returning home, it found her Grandma and asked for this camcorder.
She didn't know how the two of them, with their language barrier, managed to communicate.
One dared to ask, the other dared to give.
The key point was that Little Silver Flower only learned the basic operation of the camcorder and then immediately got the hang of it.
Mingxi: “...”
So, you're actually a photographer whose talent was delayed by the extraordinary world.
This composition, this sense of framing, these zooms and pans, who would believe this is your first time playing with a camera?
“Luo Luo.”
“Luo Luo Luo...”
From now on, I will record all the important moments of our family!
Sister, prepare yourself to be famous for generations.
Hehehe.
Mingxi's mouth twitched; she wanted to say it wasn't necessary.
But it was just a pet's little hobby, and she wasn't a feudal patriarch who forbade this and that.
She must support it!
Tomorrow, she would go buy a more professional camcorder better suited for a pet!
Later, much later, regret only had two words, but Mingxi spent her whole life writing them.
This is a story for later.
As they chatted, the incubator emitted a crisp 'ding' sound, reminding them that the roasted fish in the microwave was done.
It was 100% incubation progress.
The hatch door opened with a 'hiss'.
The scent of the sea permeated the air.
A faint salty smell.
Not pungent.
“Crack.”
Unlike when Little Silver Flower hatched, the Mermaid eggshell didn't open at the top but had a large hole broken in the front, like a door opened in the eggshell.
“Splat.”
“Ah—”
A tiny figure let out a low gasp, but for some ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ reason, it forcibly stopped.
It fell face down with 'that door'.
Then, with lightning speed, the curved eggshell flipped itself over and adjusted its posture. freёwebnovel.com
Its eyes were tightly shut, and its claws were neatly folded over its chest.
Like a peaceful salted fish.
Mingxi: “...” This thing seems...
Golden Yuanbao: “...” A bit...
Lan Yue: “...” For some reason...
Emerald Green: “...” It's actually a...
Little Silver Flower, who had its camera shoved right into the Little Mermaid's frantically trembling eyelashes, let out a sinister, cold chuckle.
“Luo!”
Idiot!
Mingxi patted Little Silver Flower's back of the head, warning, “Hey! What are you saying such blunt truths for?”
Although, this Little Mermaid indeed looked very silly.
Mingxi carefully lifted the playing-dead Little Mermaid from its crushed eggshell.
It was not even as big as Mingxi's palm.
Long black hair, a black fish tail, pale and weak skin, almost no color.
The scales were sparse, with many areas exposing light pink flesh, also without luster, an unnatural black.
The nails on its claws hadn't grown properly either, only covered by a thin gray membrane.
Without needing to check, it was clear that the Little Mermaid was very unhealthy.
Not only did it lack even a tenth of its mother's beauty, but it was also so fragile it seemed like it could turn into foam at any moment.
Truly a Little Mermaid.
Mingxi sighed softly.
She gently poked its still somewhat chubby cheek with her finger.
“Little darling, the sun's up, do you want to eat your eggshell?”
Hearing her exceptionally gentle voice, Golden Yuanbao, Lan Yue, and Emerald Green didn't react much.
But Little Silver Flower bristled.
It used its psychic power to control the camcorder, making it float in mid-air.
One claw grabbed a piece of eggshell, and the other pinched the Little Mermaid's cheeks, forcing it to open its mouth, then very roughly shoved the eggshell into its mouth.
Its Beast Tamers had never called it 'little darling'.
They had never woken it up so gently.
What class is this idiot? Why should Sister call it 'little darling'?
Mermaid!
Just an ugly, stinky salted fish!
Die for me!
Mingxi had no idea Little Silver Flower would suddenly become so agitated.
She was stunned for three seconds by Little Silver Flower's actions.
In those three seconds, the Little Mermaid's mouth was already filled with eggshell fragments, and its tightly shut eyes had opened, brimming with water that gushed out like a bursting dam.
It soaked Mingxi's pants.
The tiny fish tail was still weakly slapping her palm.
To be honest, it was somewhat similar to Little Silver Flower right after it hatched.
If the water in its eyes wasn't seawater formed by a skill, but actual tears.
It would be more convincing.
This little darling was indeed silly.
Mingxi regained her composure, and although she was exasperated, she still intervened to stop Little Silver Flower, who wanted to continue 'feeding' it.
“Little Silver Flower, domestic violence is shameful! If you do that again, I'll confiscate the camcorder.”
Little Silver Flower was deeply in love with filming at the moment, so it naturally cherished the camcorder. Hearing this, it could only grumble and reluctantly stopped.
But its eyes were spinning like they had turbines, clearly indicating it was up to no good.
