Chapter 179 Baba, will Mommy like the baby?
Back to the forest cabin.

After feeding the little fish, Lu Lianbai watched as the little fish darted between the upper and lower levels of the wooden house, carrying milk bottles in their little mouths and various small toys with their fish tails, carrying them back and forth into their little seashell beds.

Lu Lianbai called "Baby" several times, but couldn't stop the little guy.

The little fish was so tired that it was covered in sweat that it finally put down its things, picked up its milk bottle, and came to its father to ask for water.

Lu Lianbai filled his baby's bottle with water and hung the little fish in the crook of his arm.

While the little fish was drinking water from its bottle, I casually wiped its face and cleaned its messy little tail as well.

After the little fish had drunk its fill of water, I helped put the bottle cap back on and placed it on the wooden table next to it, saying to the little fish:

"Baby, we may not be able to go to Mommy's place for the time being."

The little fish's expectant expression immediately fell, and it pouted its round, chubby mouth, babbling in protest in its childish Hertzian voice.

"Why? Why can't I ask Mommy?"

The little fish jumped down from its father's arms, and in an attempt to persuade him, it even grabbed a few of his things and stuffed them into its little seashell bed.

The little tail patted the seashell-shaped bed, looked at its father with a wronged expression, and said, "Baby has assembled everything for you!"

Lu Lianbai frowned slightly, looking at the little fish with such an eager and impatient expression.

I had been holding back my thoughts for a long time, but in the end, I couldn't bear to say them and make the little one worry and feel sad for no reason.

Finally, he walked over to the little fish's seashell bed, carefully considered the situation, and compromised by saying, "Baby, you can keep it for now, and Daddy will think of something else."

The little fish was very quick-witted and immediately grasped the crux of the problem, then emitted a Hertz wave: "Beep beep, what's your idea?"

Lu Lianbai patted the little fish's head, which was looking at him with confusion, and said softly, "The way to leave Whale Island."

The baby fish has never left Whale Island since it hatched and emerged from its shell.

I had heard my dad mention it before when I went with him to the deep sea to learn how to hunt.

Because he is still just a baby mermaid, he cannot leave his birthplace until the scales on his tail have fully absorbed enough energy and nutrients.

Hearing her father say this now, she only thought that her father was worried that she was too young and not yet able to cope with unknown dangers from the outside world.

The little fish strained to stretch its tail into a strong curve, proudly showing it to its father, "Baa baa, baby's scales are rock hard! Very impressive!"

Lu Lianbai couldn't help but smile slightly, "Yes, Dad knows."

He coaxed the little fish to put things away in the wooden house and had the vines guard the small courtyard of the wooden house, while he went to the crack in the barrier of Whale Island under the pretext of hunting.

Unsure when Platinum would arrive, he specially removed a scale and placed it in the gap of the crack.

The scales, carrying the scent of ocean currents from their kin, conveyed the message that they urgently needed to discuss something.

Bo Lin thought something had happened to him and the child, so he rushed to Whale Island almost the next day.

Upon seeing Bo Lin through the transparent barrier, Lu Lianbai immediately told Bo Lin about his desire to take the baby away from the whale as soon as possible.

Platinum has been living in seclusion in the human star system, and this time he came at the last minute, and he hasn't even had time to transform back into his mermaid form.

He was still wearing a suit at the time, but upon hearing this, he rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing his true colors, and frowned as he began to reprimand:
"Are you crazy? You really want to see your human spouse that much?"

Lu Lianbai was silent for a moment, then answered in a hoarse voice, "I miss my wife very much."

Bo Lin was taken aback by his blunt honesty, then glared at him and said:

"Stop thinking about it! Don't you care about the life of the little mermaid you hatched?"

"That's not what I meant. Of course I will protect my wife and my baby."

Lu Lianbai paused for a moment, his deep blue eyes suppressing his emotions as he looked at his relative with as much composure as possible, and asked, "I wanted to ask my elder sister if there is any way to leave Whale Island without affecting the baby's development?"

"Then you can forget about it, there's no way that's possible."

Without even a second of thought, Bo Lin coldly rejected him.

After refusing, Bo Lin glanced at Lu Lianbai's silent, downcast eyes, which seemed to have lost their luster. He pursed his lips, realizing that his attitude had indeed been a bit too cruel to Lu Lianbai.

For the past few months, Lu Lianbai has been staying quietly on Whale Island, nursing the little mermaid baby.

While feeding the little mermaid, he also constantly thought about his human spouse who had promised to come back for him and their child.

It's already quite an achievement to have persevered to this day.

Bo Lin glanced at him with a complicated expression, but couldn't help but pour cold water on his enthusiasm, "Why do you insist on going to see her? If she cared about you even a little bit, she would have personally come to find you and the child in her starship by now!"

"You've lived on Whale Island for so long that you know nothing about the outside world. You have no idea how glamorous this human spouse you speak of is living in her own human star system!"

"She only wanted to use you to leave Whale Island, so she fooled you and promised to marry you. You were the only one who was stupid enough to wait for her to come!"

“Sister.” Lu Lianbai’s face suddenly turned cold, and his tone became more solemn than ever before: “I will not allow you to speak of my wife like that.”

"you--"

Bo Lin glared at him, surprised that her love-struck brother wouldn't listen to a word she'd said despite her good intentions. She almost laughed in exasperation, and nodded to herself, saying:

"Fine, fine, I won't say anything about her, but you need to think this through. With our combined efforts, I can help you reopen the barrier, but have you considered the little mermaid's safety?"

“I have… thought of a feasible solution.”

Under Bo Lin's increasingly dangerous gaze, Lu Lianbai continued to speak coldly and firmly.

“Baby needs to absorb energy and nutrients from the sea every day to continue growing. I thought about it and realized that I have so many scales on my body, and each scale contains the energy of the sea around Whale Island.”

"So, even after leaving Whale Island, if I break off a scale from my own body and give it to the baby every day, the baby will still be able to absorb enough energy and nutrients."

Bo Lin's eyes widened in disbelief. "Lu Lianbai, you've really gone mad to see her, haven't you? Do you know that losing too many scales can lead to..."

“It’s because both the baby and I miss her very much.” Lu Lianbai interrupted her before she could finish speaking in a slow and calm tone. “I don’t want to wait like this anymore.”

Bo Lin shook her head, but at that moment she realized very clearly that she probably couldn't persuade Lu Lianbai this time.

"...Fine, you won't listen to anything I say anyway." Bo Lin glared at him through almost gritted teeth. "Just don't regret it later."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lianbai knew that Bolin meant he was agreeing to help him. His eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Then I'll go back and pick up the baby now."

When Lu Lianbai rushed back to the forest cabin, the little fish had already filled its shell bed to the brim and even put the vines into the small potted planter.

Lu Lianbai helped the little fish repack its luggage and couldn't help but tell the baby the good news.

“Baby, I’ve already talked to your aunt, and we’ll be able to leave here soon to go find your mother.”

The little fish was so excited that it swished its tail and leaped into Lu Lianbai's arms, its webbed feet clung to his arm and swayed back and forth, "Baa baa, is it true? Let's go find Mommy!"

"Okay, let's go find Mom."

Lu Lianbai smiled faintly, picked up the little fish, and got up to pack his things.

The little fish clung to his neck, eagerly raising its tiny tail fin and asking in the Hertz wave mode, "Baba, do you know where Mommy lives?"

Lu Lianbai remembered everything his wife had ever said, and without even having to recall it, he blurted out, "I know, she lives on... the capital star of the Alliance Empire."

"Capital Star..."

The little fish couldn't speak yet, so it could only repeat itself in its tender, soft voice, and tried its best to remember where its mother lived.

When Dad finished packing and carried him away from the forest cabin, the little fish nervously licked the tip of his tail, which had just been ruffled, trying anxiously to make himself look nicer.

Even though I haven't seen my mom yet, I'm already looking forward to the meeting.

"What's wrong, baby?" Lu Lianbai turned his head and saw the little fish wriggling nervously on his neck. He wondered what was wrong with the little fish and asked softly.

The little fish hesitantly raised its head and asked:

"Baby, will Mommy like you, baby?"
