Coco was still hesitant about whether to eat this strange-looking thing, but Ningbao's words strengthened her resolve.

She picked up the spoon and took a bite…

Mmm, so delicious! It's better than anything she's ever eaten before!

Gone is the usual fishy smell; instead, a fresh flavor dances on the tongue. The fish balls are bouncy and smooth, and the fish tofu is tender and delicious...

Oh well, it's just so delicious! ┴┴~(≧▽≦)/~┴┴

Watching Coco finish her portion in a few bites and then go to get more soup like Number One, Ningbao covered her heart with her chubby little hands, feeling like her heart was about to break. She cast a pitiful look at Mumu, only to be met with another heartless rejection.

"No, Ningbao, you've already eaten breakfast. Didn't you like the fried rice and fried fish fillets?"

It was delicious, and I was indeed full, but I still wanted to eat more.

"What are fried rice and fried fish fillets?"

Coco lifted her head from her empty rice bowl once again.

"It's something that's incredibly delicious."

Bai Gao held up her little paws, indicating that she knew the answer to this question. Number One nodded vigorously beside her, indicating that Bai Gao was right!

"That……"

Coco touched her full belly with some embarrassment, wondering for the first time why her appetite was so small.

"Can Coco have fried rice and fried fish fillets for lunch?"

"Of course you can."

Mumu nodded. She was drinking soup herself; she hadn't eaten breakfast either.

"Ningbao still wants to eat takoyaki."

"Can."

"What about the grilled squid?"

"That's also acceptable."

Ningbao's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the whole little dumpling was radiating beauty.

Hehehe, Mumu is truly the best Mumu in the world~

"Your Highness, it's time for breakfast."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and you could tell from the voice that it was Maurice. After all, normally it was time for the cubs to get up, so this was way too early for them.

I'll probably want to take a nap before noon.

As Mumu got up to open the door, she thought to herself.

"male……"

Before Morris could finish mentioning the princess, the fragrance filling the room kept wafting into his nostrils, causing his stomach to rumble involuntarily.

I've already eaten breakfast.

He covered his stomach in embarrassment:

"Cough, my stomach is a little upset today."

"That's a pity. If your stomach is upset, you can't eat anything."

Coco didn't notice the adults' strange little scheme and genuinely felt sorry for Maurice, because there was still almost half a pot of soup that Mumu had cooked. Besides, it would be such a waste not to eat such delicious food.

She started to feel like her appetite had shrunk again.

Sigh, when will Coco grow up? When she grows up, she can eat more things.

Morris's gaze followed the aroma and involuntarily fell upon the pot of soup Mumu was cooking. He unconsciously swallowed, then pushed the sashimi in his hand forward slightly.

"Your Highness, it's time for breakfast."

"I've already eaten."

Coco happily swam around Mumu, then pointed with her little finger at the remaining soup:

"It was cooked by Mumu, it's super, super delicious, Hai will definitely love it too~"

"Mumu, how about you and Coco go see the sea together?"

Coco hugged Mumu's arm, but Mumu didn't think anything of it. After all, she had raised too many pets. She was basically raising all the pet cubs that Ningbao had contracted.

Ningbao, however, felt a little unhappy. She rubbed her chubby little face, unable to understand why she was upset. After all, Coco wasn't the first little cub to be close to Mumu. Her contracted pet cubs—Number One, Mengmeng, Ayin, Dudu, and Little Orange—all adored Mumu.

Ning Bao scratched his head, a little confused. So why is that?

Actually, it's because of their race. Coco's upper body looks like a human cub, which naturally makes Ning Bao feel a little threatened, but she herself is completely unaware of it.

Because she wasn't aware of it, and because Mumu didn't actually treat Keke any differently, Ningbao subconsciously felt that her position was secure and there was no risk of her being replaced. So, this slight discomfort quickly and naturally dissipated.

Morris, however, reacted strongly:

"Your Highness!"

"What's wrong?"

Coco looked back at him, a little puzzled.

Morris hesitated, knowing he had no right to criticize Coco's behavior as a low-ranking merman. But to send such a deformed-tailed merman to meet the great Queen…

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Morris's gaze swept over Mumu from head to toe again without any restraint, his eyes unconsciously revealing contempt and disdain.

Mu Mu didn't care. She had experienced too much malice in this world. Things like this, which were insignificant and had no impact, were not worth taking to heart.

But Ningbao was very unhappy, clenching her little fists tightly.

Ugh~ I really want to beat up this annoying older brother, but Mumu says that hitting people randomly isn't good behavior.

But... Ningbao doesn't just hit anyone, this bastard is looking at Mumu with such disgust.

Ning Bao successfully convinced herself and appeared in front of Morris in a flash.

Morris clearly hadn't expected a little cub to suddenly attack him. Well, even if he had, it wouldn't have mattered. He couldn't even beat Mumu, so he certainly couldn't beat Ningbao.

"Ningbao!"

Mumu frowned slightly.

Upon hearing Mumu's voice, Ningbao's little fist, which had been raised high once again, stopped in mid-air.

"Mumu, he's bad!"

Holding Mumu in her arms, Ningbao looked at Mumu with a pitiful expression, her little hand pointing at Morris, who had been beaten to the ground.

"I know."

Mumu gently patted Ningbao's little head:

"Ningbao wants to stand up for me, right? Thank you, Ningbao."

As she spoke, Mumu kissed Ningbao's chubby cheek and then said:

"But I can handle it myself. If I can't solve it, I'll come to Ningbao for help, okay?"

"Okay~"

Ning Baochao nodded seriously, then stretched out his little hand:

"Let's pinky swear, Mumu must tell Ningbao if she needs anything."

"it is good."

Mumu reached out and pinky-swore with Ningbao. She simply didn't want Ningbao to do something that might harm herself for her sake. Of course, she said this to avoid upsetting Ningbao, since Ningbao meant well, but she really didn't deserve it.

In truth, Mu Mu often felt that Feng Yuan was incredibly unlucky to have found her. She remembered that once, to help suppress her illness, Feng Yuan had begged an alchemist. He really begged; Feng Yuan, born with the most talented phoenix in ten thousand years, had never done anything so humble before…

She really isn't worth it.

Let me address the issue of the term "Hai" (海). You can think of it as "Grandmother." I originally intended to use "Grandmother," but then I thought, since merfolk don't rely on bloodlines for inheritance, terms like "uncle" (叔叔) are acceptable even for strangers and barely make sense. However, terms like "parents" (父母), "grandfather" (爷爷), and "grandmother" (奶奶) sound rather odd, so I changed the pronoun.

You can just use "Grandmother" to understand it |ω)
