I, the Mermaid, am the Siren Tribe's Beloved (Raise a Cub)

Chapter 4- Fish Go Home

　　When Shen Yaochuan came back after signing a series of procedures, he found that the shark employee was teasing the baby shark in the egg shell, holding various snacks to lure the baby shark, but the little guy inside kept curling up in the egg shell. They refused to show their heads inside and refused to eat the food they gave them.

　　[Host, aren't you hungry? These snacks look quite delicious]

　　Tang Li: "Hungry."

　　He is still a newborn cub, his stomach is empty, and he has been hungry for a long time.

　　But he is afraid of sharks.

　　As soon as he saw the shark's fingers with transparent gauze-like webbed palms, he thought of the time in the previous world when the shark scratched his tail with sharp nails that suddenly grew longer, leaving the painful scar.

　　There were so many double-mermaid palms approaching him, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest. How dare he eat the food they gave him.

　　The system knew that Tang Li's fear of the sharks would not subside for a while. Even if these sharks were not as malicious as the sharks in the previous world, after all, "Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years."

　　It didn't say anything more and could only let him adapt slowly.

　　"You're too timid, little guy." The Shark employee sighed, defeated.

　　They also dare not throw snacks in hastily, for fear that the little one will choke, or they will be stored in the eggshell, which will be difficult to clean and will easily deteriorate, which will be harmful to the body.

　　Shen Yaochuan controlled the wheelchair and came to them. Seeing that the group of shark employees looked distressed, he picked up a small shrimp-shaped baby shark snack made of shrimp meat and tapped the eggshell tentatively. .

　　The Mermaid employees all made room for him, stepped back, and stared expectantly at His Highness's hand holding the snack.

　　Because there was no need to swim in the water, Shen Yaochuan put away all the organs with the characteristics of a shark. At first glance, he looked no different from an ordinary human being.

　　This is also a perfect mimicry that can only be achieved by a shark with a high level of mental power.

　　One second, two seconds, three seconds...

　　a string of bubbles emerged.

　　Immediately afterwards, a pair of small hands hugged Shen Yaochuan's fingers and pulled them towards his arms.

　　Only from Shen Yaochuan's angle could he see the black gem-like eyes inside the eggshell.

　　As if he understood what he meant, Shen Yaochuan stretched the snack in his hand into the eggshell, but did not let go.

　　Immediately, the sound of cubs eating came from inside the eggshell.

　　"Bah da, bah da, bah da."

　　is the sound made by Xiaoya chewing snacks.

　　Merians are born with teeth. Not only do they not feel strenuous at all when chewing on these snacks that are not too hard, they can also grind their teeth and promote their growth.

　　Along with the sound of teeth gnawing snacks, the sound appeared in Tang Li's mind -

　　[Lucky Coin + 1]

　　[Lucky Coin + 1]

　　[Lucky Coin + 1]

　　...

　　Tang Li's tail curled up slightly in pleasure, and he gnawed more happily. .

　　Not only are there snacks to eat, but there are also lucky coins to earn. Although it is not much and it will stop growing after reaching a certain limit, sparrows are still meat even though they are small, and fish must learn to be content.

　　But...

　　in the past, he had to help his targets improve their luck and overcome certain difficulties in order to get extra lucky coins.

　　But this time he just ate a snack, which at most showed good will and did not help Shen Yaochuan...

　　The system explained: [A person's emotions will affect his luck, such as " The kicking cat effect" - the chain reaction of bad emotions. Shen Yaochuan did not pass on his bad emotions to others, but chose to keep them in his heart, which would affect his own luck]

　　[If he continues like this, his luck will only get worse and worse, until he is completely exhausted, and the plot will not be able to continue at all]

　　[You made him feel happy and subtly improved his luck, so he obtained the corresponding Reward]

　　Tang Li licked his mouth and spit out a bubble.

　　So...Shen Yaochuan is very happy now?

　　"He really likes His Highness the most. He doesn't want anyone to get close to him except His Highness." A Shark employee said.

　　"After all, the first person I saw when I opened my eyes was His Highness. I probably regard His Highness as a close relative." Another Shark employee said.

　　"When will the shell break? I really want to see what the little guy looks like."

　　"Let him break the shell by himself. Your Highness, remember to take more photos of the little guy and send them to us."

　　"Oh, these unmarked eggs More and more cubs are born with mutilated bodies. I hope that all such cubs can find gentle parents like His Highness."

　　Shen Yaochuan hummed, with a faint smile in the corner of his eyes, deep in his heart. It's softer than ever before.

　　The feeling of being preferred is amazing.

　　It is so wonderful that a person with nothing can have the illusion that he is the richest person in the world.

　　For the first time in twenty years, he felt this illusion from a little guy.

　　-

　　-

　　After Tang Li had eaten enough, he lay down in the eggshell and fell asleep.

　　He knew that Shen Yaochuan's birthday was today and he was going to get together with his friends at the bottom of the sea, so he didn't bother him.

　　Maybe it was because he was programmed to be a cub, but he was indeed sleep-deprived. After eating and drinking enough, he felt extremely sleepy, so he simply rolled up his tail and took a good nap.

　　When Tang Li woke up again, he found that he and the egg he was in were in a container. The container was filled with familiar sea water, but it had a slightly inexplicable and subtle difference from the smell of normal sea water.

　　The container is made of almost completely transparent material. It looks like...a fish tank?

　　At this time, the container was being held in Shen Yaochuan's hands, and the building outside the container clearly showed that they were now on land.

　　[Host, you are finally awake]

　　Tang Li rubbed his eyes, spit out a bunch of bubbles, and lay on the crack of the egg shell to carefully look at the surrounding environment.

　　A very standard interstellar building.

　　It should be the afternoon of late autumn. The leaves of the trees in the green belt are all yellow, and most of the pedestrians are wearing long-sleeved jackets.

　　[Not long after you landed ashore, Shen Yaochuan is ready to take you home. He usually lives alone in a villa. He doesn't go out often since he was injured. His car hasn't arrived yet, so he is watching the photo album on the side. While waiting for the bus]

　　Tang Li nodded, "Are there no new missions coming?"

　　The system said: [Not yet, I guess you will have to go through another plot to trigger the new mission. 】

　　Tang Li saw this and tried hard to break the gap in the egg shell, but he was completely unable to widen the gap even a little bit.

　　It seems that he can't leave this little eggshell before it's time for him to break out of his shell.

　　Tang Li's hand was hurt a bit, so he leaned against the wall of the egg in frustration and spit out a string of bubbles.

　　Take one step at a time, at least leave the bottom of the sea where all the sharks are.

　　"Brother Shen." A gentle voice suddenly sounded.

　　Tang Li, who was leaning against the wall of the egg, immediately cheered up and lay down at the gap in the egg shell to look out.

　　There are new characters appearing.

　　He is a human boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing very cute black-rimmed glasses, and holding a wrapped gift box in his hand.

　　Most likely, it was a birthday present for Shen Yaochuan.

　　"Who is this person?" Tang Li asked the system.

　　The system explained: [Xu Lianhua]

　　Tang Li felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

　　[It is the background version of the protagonist who was originally assigned to the time traveler, the true young master of the Xu family who was lost outside. He was recently recovered and his S-level healing mental power was measured. He has been very popular recently]

　　[The setting of this character She is a gentle, considerate, and considerate little white flower. She was mistakenly raised to live in a barren and chaotic "underground area" since she was a child. She admires Shen Yaochuan very much. Now she has some contact with Shen Yaochuan through the relationship between the Xu family, but it is a pity that Shen Yaochuan Chuan's mental power has been too traumatized, and there is nothing he can do about it. He just regularly provides Shen Yaochuan with some mental treatment that is better than nothing.]

　　[Now the time traveler cannot come over to take over his role. You regard him as a person. It's just an ordinary character in a book. It's always good for the protagonist, so don't worry."

　　Tang Li nodded and returned to the eggshell.

　　He felt a little awkward when he saw Xu Lianhua's probing eyes falling on him.

　　Since he is a friendly force, let him leave the time now.

　　As expected, Xu Lianhua handed the gift to Shen Yaochuan, "Brother Shen, happy birthday."

　　Shen Yaochuan turned off the optical brain, nodded slightly, took the gift and put it in the shelf next to the wheelchair, saying thank you.

　　Polite and distant.

　　This is how he always treats people.

　　"Would you like to have dinner together tonight?" Xu Lianhua stirred gently with her fingers, looking forward to but nervous at the same time.

　　"I have something to do tonight." Shen Yaochuan lowered his eyelashes slightly, looked at the shark egg in his hand, and declined.

　　He also has to take care of the little cub, and he will definitely keep him company for the few days before Xiaosame arrives home.

　　His relationship with Xu Lianhua is not that close.

　　He was not a fool, he could see Xu Lianhua's overtures to him, but he just didn't want to accept it.

　　He could understand that Xu Lianhua had just returned to the Xu family and was anxious to make connections and establish a firm foothold.

　　Xu Lianhua also tried his best to cure his mental damage. Although it had no effect, he was very grateful.

　　He didn't mind helping Xu Lianhua casually, but it didn't mean that this person could break into his private life beyond the rules. He would not indulge in the slightest distance that should be maintained.

　　"Then...will you attend the weekend dance? Axun said that he prepared a lot of jasmine. I remember that you like this kind of wine very much." Xu Lianhua spoke again.

　　The ball was held by the royal family, and was similar to a social gathering between wealthy and powerful families. Many young singles from wealthy families would participate. Shen Yaochuan had also participated before, but he just drank a few glasses of wine out of friendship.

　　And Axun is the name of the third prince of the human race, Fang Xun.

　　The Luo family belongs to the third prince's party.

　　Although the third prince had always been respectful to him, he knew that this man had always looked down on the Sharks and felt that the human race should be the leader of Blue Star. He was only respectful to him because he wanted to take advantage of his strength and connections. In fact, Deep down, he still hated the half-Shark blood in his body.

　　On this planet... it is obvious that the Sharks and the humans should have a mutually beneficial and win-win symbiotic relationship, but some people are greedy and always want to provoke confrontation.

　　Shen Yaochuan's voice became colder, "No, I don't have time recently."

　　At this moment, Shen Yaochuan's car arrived and stopped behind Xu Lianhua.

　　It is a black hover car with dark blue lines in the gaps, which is very cool.

　　Shen Yaochuan controlled the wheelchair to avoid Xu Lianhua, "I'm going back now. Thank you for your gift. I will double the cost of the mental treatment the day before yesterday and put it into your card."

　　Xu Lianhua opened his mouth and wanted to say something else. , turned around, only to see Shen Yaochuan's cold back, and all his words were stuck in his throat.

　　-

　　-On the car.

　　Tang Li leaned against the egg wall and chatted with the system: "I feel like this target is a bit difficult to get along with..."

　　This person's personality is also too cold.

　　If his soul penetrated into Xu Lianhua's body, he really didn't know what to do.

　　Fortunately, he is dressed in every world, so he can take advantage of being a cub.

　　The system reassured: [Don't worry, he is still very interested in you]

　　Tang Li: "How do you say it?"

　　[I will read to you what he saw in the optical brain just now and now -]
