Chapter 436: You Can't Hurt My Child

The young merman rested his hands on the edge of the oversized swimming pool, his immense tail gently swaying in the water, a scene as dreamy as it was surreal.

In the palm of one of his hands lay a pink fruit-flavored candy.

It was a small gift from Little Dumpling.

From Lu Xining's camera, he had earlier glimpsed Little Dumpling and instantly felt a peculiar sense of familiarity.

It was an indescribable sensation, as though a voice from the void whispered to him—to be kind to her, to protect her.

As long as she held his scale in her hand, he could track her scent and find her.

When Ji Chao and Ji Ze finished their classes and came to see their sister, Lu Xining arranged for someone to watch over them while she headed to the laboratory where the young merman was kept.

She had promised him she would do her best to find a way to turn him back into a human.

The necessary lab samples had already been collected.
