"Because if they don't do this, they won't have normal newborns. Just as the Heavenly Dao can abandon certain races for the benefit of the whole world, the Mermaids will naturally abandon a portion of the Mermaids for the benefit of the whole race."

Those mermaids who were cursed were almost all eliminated, resulting in a sharp decline in the mermaid population, losing nearly two-thirds of their original number.

Before Mumu's story was finished, they welcomed their first guest of the day.

"How much is this?"

The little mermaid, with a pink tail, pink hair, and chubby cheeks, pointed to the snacks in Ningbao's hand.

This little mermaid looks about the same age as Number One, only three or four years old, but its tail is much bigger than Number One's, so it probably has a high status.

Ning Bao didn't think as much as Mu Mu. She exchanged ten more packs from Bai Gao in one go, and then looked at Mu Mu expectantly, waiting for Mu Mu to set the price.

Mumu thought for a moment and said:

"Three red crystals per pack."

The world's currency consists of red crystals and blue crystals. One standard-sized blue crystal can be exchanged for one hundred standard-sized red crystals, but the reverse is not true.

Furthermore, most high-end items in this world are marked as being traded only with blue crystals, so generally no one would use blue crystals to exchange for red crystals.

"Then I want a thousand packs, oh no, ten thousand packs!"

The pink little mermaid stretched out a chubby finger and said boldly.

"Tell me, how many crystals do you need in total?"

As she spoke, the little one tried to imitate the older siblings she had seen before, crossing her arms and striking a cool pose. However, her chubby little arms, like lotus roots, wouldn't allow her to do such a difficult move, and she failed several times.

The little mermaid was embarrassed and urged in exasperation:

"Hurry up!"

Ning Bao answered very honestly:

"But Ningbao doesn't have that many."

She doesn't have enough points to redeem it.

"There are only 132 packs left in total, do you want them?"

Ningbao finally finished calculating the division problem she hated the most, and asked the little mermaid who was standing there in a daze.

"want!"

"The total is... 132 * 3 =..."

Ningbao is in pain again. Why does Ningbao have to do math problems again?

Mu Mu already knew the answer in her heart, but seeing how seriously Ning Bao was calculating, she remained silent.

"396! That's 396 pieces of red crystal!"

Mumu glanced at the stopwatch and thought, "Hmm, Ningbao took 16 seconds this time, which is a bit too slow."

The baby mermaid opposite generously tossed out four blue crystals and waved her little hand:

"No need to look anymore~"

Suddenly, the pink mermaid's pointed ears twitched, and then she picked up the snacks Ningbao had just redeemed and ran away.

Ning Bao felt that the flustered little figure looked slightly familiar. She tilted her head in confusion, but she had never seen a mermaid before.

"Wow, she looks just like Ningbao after she secretly ate something and was afraid of being discovered by Mumu."

It was Bai Gao's words that woke him from his dream.

Mumu's years of experience raising children told her that this little mermaid had probably sneaked out to play without her family's knowledge. The fact that she ran so fast just now meant that her parents were likely chasing after her.

Sure enough, a fully grown mermaid soon followed:

Did you guys just see... a little pink mermaid?

Morris was exasperated. With the length of his little princess's tail, even if she weren't called a princess, it would be obvious. But since it was the little princess's order, he naturally complied.

"I saw it."

Ningbao is such an honest baby; she had absolutely no intention of covering for the little mermaid. Well, it's also possible that every time she sneaks food, none of the other kids in the family have ever covered for her.

Wenya explained that if they helped cover it up, Ningbao would only be punished more severely. What was originally just a matter of half the snacks being deducted might end up being completely gone.

The naive little Ningbao believed it, and later even learned to "turn herself in." However, while her attitude in admitting her mistake was good, she dared to do it again next time.

As Ningbao spoke, she stretched out her soft clam meat and pointed in the direction the little mermaid had run off to:

"Let's go that way!"

A flawless version after careful inspection!

The little mermaid, who was hiding behind a house and peeking out, heard this and was so angry that she almost squeezed her chubby face out of shape.

That clam is so mean, betraying Cocoa! 凸(>皿<)凸

Seeing Maurice swimming rapidly toward her, Coco simply jumped out, hands on her hips, looking angrily, wanting to confront Ning Bao.

Is there no basic trust left between the cubs?

Ning Bao was not intimidated at all. She immediately translated Wen Ya's words into the mind of a cub and told them to Coco.

However, there are many possible shifts in this, but Mumu feels that Ningbao's words have little to do with what Wenya said.

But Coco listened, stunned, and finally turned her head with a hint of confusion, taking one of Maurice's fingers in her little hand:

"Uncle Maurice, is that so?"

"Is that right...?"

Morris didn't understand what the little clam was trying to say at all. He could understand each word individually, but he couldn't understand them when they were put together.

But Coco completely ignored the deep doubt in his words and turned to Ningbao with utmost seriousness, saying:

"Is that so? Okay, then I guess I misunderstood you."

She waved her little hand to indicate that she didn't intend to pursue Ningbao's responsibility anymore, then turned to look at the person about her age:

"Uncle Maurice, this little boy looks just like you! Do you know who he is?"

Number One and Maurice do look very alike, both with blond hair, amber eyes, and blue fish tails, if you ignore the conspicuous horn on Number One's head.

Morris is also royalty, which is why Coco calls him "uncle." However, the size of the tail determines a mermaid's talent, and there is a hierarchy within the royal family, with Morris belonging to the lower rank.

He glanced subconsciously at Number One's tail. Hmm, a talented kid. But why didn't he remember him? That shouldn't be the case.

This brings us to the "story" that Mumu hadn't finished telling before. During the period immediately after the Heart of the Ocean was polluted, every baby born to the mermaids had problems. This wasn't just due to the pollution of the Heart of the Ocean, but also to the anger of Heaven, which returned all the pollution to the mermaids as much as possible.

Of course, Mai won't fare well either. Lanlu doesn't intend to favor any race that has destroyed the world's ecosystem; it's just that Mai's problem is hidden, and no one has noticed it yet.
