A Guide to Raising a Wild Mermaid

[Pure-hearted, straightforward merman bottom × emotionally steady, fatherly top]

In the year 9099 of the interstellar era, the Zerg launched a massive assault, and the merfolk suffered a crushing defeat.

A human special operations unit rescued Qin An, a survivor of the royal merfolk family, from the ocean.

To the Federation, merfolk represented fragility and mystery.

So the people of the Federation were lucky enough to see the supposedly fragile, mysterious merfolk punch a mech to pieces, kill a high-ranking Zerg with a single slash, and kick Yan Siyue away when he tried to get affectionate with him.

Qin An: "?" Something didn't seem quite right.

*

Merfolk had always revered strength, so it was only natural that Yan Siyue, known as humanity's strongest, would capture Qin An's heart.

One day, Yan Siyue watched the little merman carefully scrubbing his tail and coaxed him softly, "Come here. I'll wash it for you."

Qin An refused sternly. "No."

Captain Yan: "After we're done, I'll take you to the training ground so you can settle the score."

The little merman's eyes lit up. He handed his tail to Yan Siyue, then solemnly warned him, "You're a good person. Don't trick a fish!"

The mating season marked a merfolk's maturity. They usually looked for a partner before it began.

Separated from his people, Qin An knew nothing about it. He just felt his tail itch whenever he saw Yan Siyue.

Then one day, after the special operations team returned victorious from killing Zerg, both their captain and the legendary merman vanished.

Meanwhile, aboard a spaceship thousands of miles away, the usually ferocious merman melted into a puddle of tenderness, lying limp in Captain Yan's arms.

Yan turned into a big bad wolf. "Good boy, open up a little. You won't feel uncomfortable much longer."

The little merman blushed and wrapped his arms around Yan Siyue's neck, solemnly emphasizing, "Don't trick a fish!"

Later, Yan Siyue looked at the fish who had sunk to the bottom of the water and curled himself into a ball. He smiled. "I didn't trick you, did I? Hmm?"

The thoroughly satisfied fish turned red with embarrassment and anger. "...Go away, you bad guy!"

My Little Healing Merman Is Working Hard Again Today

Adorable · overflowing with a desire to save others · devoted to repaying kindness · healing merman × affection-starved, taciturn, max-strength human weapon

[Chi Xingmian × Fu Jihan]

Chi Xingmian was the most special resident of the merfolk aquarium.

He was the only wild merman, with an extraordinarily powerful healing ability and extremely high standards.

Too ugly? No!

Too weak? No!

No money? No!

Not seriously ill? Absolutely not!!!

Yet the little merman's final choice shocked everyone.

He chose the Empire's weapon of war, Fu Jihan!!

*

Fu Jihan was the Empire's weapon of war, constantly deployed to battlefields and on the verge of mental collapse. Every merman feared him.

A scar ran across his face, cutting through his eyebrow and temple, making him terrifying to look at.

He was good for nothing but fighting, and even the gift he brought to meet a merman was the exact scent of incense merfolk hated most.

His pockets were empty, and his only home was the laboratory basement.

Aside from suffering severe mental-power instability and being on the brink of death, he seemed to fail every one of Chi Xingmian's requirements.

But the beautiful, picky little merman chose him anyway.

Looking at the beautiful merman who seemed so out of place in the basement, Fu Jihan found himself wanting to live on for the first time.

The Golden-Rated Villain's Caretaker

Wu Yang had always believed he'd lived an upright life and never done anything wrong, but unfortunately, heaven had given him a frail body.

He'd been trapped among medicine bottles from a young age. When the end finally drew near, he felt more relieved than anything, though he felt sorry for his little ones.

They weren't real children. They were characters in a game Wu Yang had stumbled across by chance.

In the game, they were four major villains, and the player had to lower their corruption levels by completing quests.

Little One Number One: A little fox with ten tails, condemned as an ill omen.

Little One Number Two: A beautiful merman cast out of his people's waters, with his vocal cords severed.

Little One Number Three: A little lion with a severed tail, driven out of his family because of his disability.

Little One Number Four: A half-human, half-eagle artificially bred and taken away for research as soon as he was born. Though on the verge of death, he still dreamed of flying through the sky.

Each of the four little ones had suffered in their own way. At the start of the game, all four were world-destroying demon kings.

While tirelessly lowering their corruption levels, Wu Yang also had to help the little ones evade the emperor's death warrant.

Emperor Liu Wei was a major threat to his little ones' safety! With Liu Wei around, how could Wu Yang leave them behind and go on alone?

So, the second before he died, he was still thinking about his sweet little ones. The next moment, he opened his eyes and saw the black-haired, red-eyed emperor staring intently at him.

Wu Yang: !

After transmigrating into the game, Wu Yang was delighted to discover that the story was set before the little ones began to turn evil!

With saving them foremost in his mind, Wu Yang set out to find his little ones.

Later, the emperor fixed his red eyes on Wu Yang and shamelessly pouted. "Why do you only look at them and not me?"

Wu Yang sighed helplessly. "Are you competing with the little ones for my attention? Aren't you embarrassed?"

The emperor snorted, hoisted Wu Yang over his shoulder, and showed him through action just how terrifying it was to ignore the emperor!
