After wiping away the salt water on his face, Mag looked at the mermaid who had just flipped in the bathtub. She was breathing out bubbles with a happy expression and flipping her tail every now and then. Mag was speechless.

  “Wow, seems like the big sister mermaid doesn’t need our help anymore. She’s so beautiful, so let’s call her ‘Big Sister Mermaid’,” Amy said excitedly, not caring that she was soaked through.

  “It seems that she is really fine now.” Mag nodded too. Although this mermaid had not awoken, she was breathing out bubbles like a fish in the tub happily with a smile on her face. She looked well enough.

  He took a dry towel and wiped away the salt water on Amy’s face before he used a wet one to wipe over her face again. Mag gazed at the mermaid in the tub with a troubled expression. What should they do if they needed to take a bath from now on?

  “Father, I would like to swim in the bathtub and breathe underwater like Big Sister Mermaid,” Amy said to Mag expectantly.

  “That won’t do. Amy is a human. You need to breathe air and you can’t breathe underwater.” Mag shook his head.

  “Then, why can Big Sister Mermaid do it?” Amy looked at the bubbling mermaid puzzledly.

  “Because she is a mermaid. Therefore, she is able to breathe in the water like a fish. However, she has also similarly lost her ability to breathe and live on land. This is fair,” Mag said with a smile.

  “Okay.” Amy nodded with a thoughtful expression. She held onto Mag’s hand. “In this case, I will live on land so I can stay with Father.”


  “Let’s wash up and prepare to go to bed. Looking at her condition, she won’t wake up so soon.” Mag patted Amy’s head smilingly. He gave Amy a shower, and he used a towel to wipe himself outside to replace a bath.

  “Father, does Big Sister Mermaid live in the sea? I thought only the fishes live in the sea? Why could she live in the sea too?” Amy asked curiously as she lay in bed.

  “Maybe they are a kind of special existence,” Mag said smilingly. There were very little written records about the sirens in the history of Norland Continent. At least in the last 1000 years, there were almost no records about merfolk at all. He wondered if her existence was fortuitous, or merfolk had alway existed somewhere in the deep sea.

  Mag was leaning toward the latter because according to the test result of the Omniscient Door, this mermaid should have an 8th-tier power if she was in the deep sea. Hybrid species that occurred accidentally definitely would not have such powerful capabilities.

  Her evolution wasn’t problematic. To a certain extent, it was almost perfect.

  Whether it was that beautiful fishtail or exquisite features and perfect figure, they all displayed the perfection of evolution.

  Looking at Amy’s curious gaze, Mag smilingly said, “I will tell Amy a story about a little mermaid today.”


  “Yes, yes.” Amy’s eyes lit up, and she nodded her tiny head.

  “In the very, very deep sea, there was a majestic castle, and six mermaid princesses lived there. They were all very beautiful, especially the youngest one. She had long blonde hair and was more beautiful than all of her sisters. She loved to listen to her sisters talk about interesting new stuff above the sea. As a result, the little princess always wished to go above the sea to take a look herself. She waited and waited, and on the little princess’s 15th birthday……”


  Mag’s voice became deeper along the little mermaid’s story.

  Amy listened attentively. She was happy to hear that the little mermaid met a prince; agonized when she heard that she drank the witch’s potion in order to see the prince again; and sad when she heard that the little mermaid couldn’t speak when the prince was going to marry another girl.

  “At dawn, the mermaid princess stood on the deck and murmured to herself, ‘Goodbye, my prince.’ And the princess’s body slowly dissolved into many colorful bubbles……”


  Mag ended the story in a low tone of voice.

  Amy sniffed with her nose as she whimsically said, “Ah, the little mermaid is such a poor thing. Men are all indecent.”


  Mag shook his head with a smile. His daughter even scolded him when she was angry.

  “So Father, did Big Sister Mermaid come to the restaurant because she wanted to see you. Hence, she had legs but couldn’t speak?” Amy interrogated Mag. “Do you have a castle? Have you ever fallen into the sea from a boat before? Were you rescued? And then you met my mother?

  “That must have been the case! You believed Mother was the person who saved you, and so you married her. Then, Big Sister Mermaid drank the witch’s potion and came here to look for you.” Amy sighed, and piteously said, “It’s so pitiful. Anyone who had heard this would have cried.”


  ╮(╯▽╰)╭


  “Did that really happen?” Mag was confused. After Amy said all that, he had almost believed that he had let that beautiful mermaid down and he was an indecent man.

  However, if this scenario had happened in his previous life, the story would have been very different. Although he wasn’t a prince, he did have a “castle” near the sea. He could indeed keep a little mermaid who could spread her legs, and they could spend their days together without any restraint…… Hold it right there. That would be another story.

  However, there were parts of Amy’s words that made Mag curious. That mermaid did have legs when she first appeared. Also, she indeed couldn’t make out a proper sentence when they first met. Even the words she said didn’t make much sense.

  Why did this mermaid leave the sea and come here? This was a question worth getting to the bottom of.

  “Alright, it’s time to sleep. There is school tomorrow. You can ask that big sister mermaid if you have any questions tomorrow.” Mag smoothed Amy’s hair with a smile.

  “Okay.” Amy sat up, hugged Mag, and kissed him on his cheek. She smilingly said, “Goodnight, Father.”


  “Goodnight, Amy.” Mag kissed Amy back on her forehead. He tucked her under the blanket and switched off the lights……

  That night, Mag had a dream. He dreamt that he was about to asphyxiate after he fell into the water, and he saw a mermaid swam toward him vaguely. She had a beautiful tail and mesmerizing movements. She swam in the sea agily just like a real fish and reached him very soon.

  Then, Mag saw a word on its face. “System!”


  This was really a scary nightmare.
