nThe golden dragon was furious.

nWhen he heard the sound of his little mermaid crying, he was so enraged that he wanted to swallow the whole sea.

nBy the time he rose out of the sea and located the little mermaid sprawled on the ship, his tender face was covered with tears. Shi Qing pitifully reached out towards the golden dragon, further inciting his fury.

nThese humans!!!

nHow dare these humans do such a thing to his little mermaid!!

nHis baby was a fish, and they’ve forced him ashore!!

nYes, in the Golden Dragon’s Eye, this boat was considered land.

nAnywhere out of the water was dangerous for fishes.

nEven if they were mermaids!

nHe roared, and with a flick of his tail crushed the boat into pieces.

nThe people in the boat were lucky Shi Qing was there, because otherwise the golden dragon would’ve surely aimed for them directly.

nThe humans on board were thrown into the water amidst the wreckage of the ship, but they all knew how to swim so no one drowned.

nBut at this point they were about to die of fright.

nZeng Nan and the others were relatively safe compared to those who still had their hands and feet bound.

nShe took the opportunity to cut her bindings. Struggling to open her eyes underwater, she dove to save her subordinates.

nThose who emerged first from the water were not so lucky.

nAs soon as they came out, they were confronted by the gigantic head of the golden dragon.

nThe pirates: “……”

nThere was no need to mention the rest of his body, just his head alone was…

nLet’s just say that one of his eyes was bigger than an entire human.

nOne could imagine what a horrifying experience it was to come face to face with such a behemoth.

nThey were about to die of fright, okay?!

nAnd yet, the golden dragon paid no attention to the humans who were scared **less.

nEvery fibre of his being wanted to rescue his baby right now. As for these humans, well, they definitely wouldn’t be leaving the sea.

nNo matter how delicate Shi Qing appeared to be, he was still a siren. When the boat capsized, he easily found a piece of broken wood and sat on it. He then swiftly moved to the paw the golden dragon carefully extended in his direction.

nIn his new perch, he serenely watched over the paddling pirates and opened his lips a fraction. A beautiful melody emerged from his vocal chords.

nThe sirens’ song had, at its core, an enchantment that lured all who heard it closer.

nThe eyes of the formerly desperate pirates gradually dilated as the corpses of their ‘two-legged sheep’ victims came into view.

nThe humans who perished at the hands of their own species seemed to return to life as ghostly skeleton apparitions. They floated in the sea, flashing ghastly white smiles at the ones responsible.

n“AHHHHHH!!!!”

nScreams joined together in an unholy choir on the sea surface, which gradually quietened once again as the pirates convulsed and sank to the bottom of the sea with terrified expressions.

nThey were obviously still conscious, but their limbs no longer obeyed their commands.

nThey could only twitch as they drowned.

nThe golden dragon watched these people die, but the only sadness he felt was for the little mermaid singing softly on his paw.

nIt seemed like his inherited memories weren’t lying when they said that sirens sang badly.

nAfter all, how else can you explain these humans dying from how horrible this incomprehensible song was?

nEven though he knew that the sirens beaten up in his inherited memories for singing badly weren’t his baby, the golden dragon’s heart still ached.

nJust the thought of his baby being beaten up by other creatures for singing badly before the golden dragon woke up made him want to swallow all the fish in the sea.

nWhen he then considered how the little mermaid might give up on singing for fear of being beaten even though he clearly loved to… The aggrieved image his mind conjured up broke his heart even more.

nHis poor baby… How uncomfortable it must be for a siren to forcefully repress the inherent urge to sing.

nYou might be asking how he came to this conclusion.

nCouldn’t you see that the little mermaid only dared to sing when he was sitting on the dragon’s paw?!

nThe golden dragon was afraid that his baby’s confidence would be shaken if he knew those humans literally died because of how horrible his singing was, so he quickly swept his tail over and blew all the dead bodies to the bottom of the sea.

nLet’s pretend that these people killed each other.jpg

nIt definitely wasn’t his baby’s terrible singing that killed them.jpg

nI could pretend nothing happened if I destroyed all the evidence.jpg

nAfter making sure that he destroyed everything that would prove otherwise, the golden dragon immediately started praising his baby with a thick face.

n“Beautiful, truly beautiful!!”

n“My baby is so talented”

nShi Qing’s lips proudly curled. He embraced the nearest claw with both arms and nuzzled against it, saying cutely: “You’re the best.”

nThe golden dragon: “!!!”

nHis baby said he was the best!

nAll the anger in his heart melted away, leaving him filled with joy.

nHis happiness led to his tail uncontrollably curling this way and that.

nTo those underwater…

nA second ago, this dragon’s tail just killed a few people.

nIt basically smashed those pirates into a pulp.

nThen it immediately churned the waters violently, with no sign of stopping any time soon.

nZeng Nan panicked. Was this dragon trying to create a whirlpool to drown them alive?!

nShe sped up the pace of rescuing her subordinates, trying to use hand gestures in the water that had grown muddy due to the flailing tail to signal for them to leave this place with her quickly.

nThey had to remain underwater, at least until they were far away from this huge golden dragon.

nShe didn’t want to be reduced to a bloody pulp with her subordinates.

nBut in reality, if the golden dragon that was heaven’s beloved was so inclined, these humans wouldn’t be able to escape from him, even if they reached the shore.

nThe only reason he wasn’t going after them was simply because Shi Qing didn’t want him to.

nThe little mermaid grumbled as he explained the situation. “When I came to find my friends to play, those bad guys captured us. They even said they were going to eat me! That’s why I killed them.”

nThe little mermaid raised his beautiful fishtail and gently rubbed the pad of flesh in the center of the dragon’s paw with limpid eyes. His tender lips that had just sung the song of death gently planted a kiss on one of the dragon’s fingers.

nHis voice was as petulant as ever. “Thank goodness that you’re here, otherwise they would definitely have eaten me.”

n–Kaboom!

nEven though the little mermaid’s kiss was so light that he could hardly feel it, the golden dragon’s mind was still thrown into disarray.

nHis little mermaid!

nKissed him!!

nHim!!!

n!!!!

nAccording to the golden dragon’s inherited memories, only dragon that wanted to f**k would kiss each other.

nDid this mean that his little mermaid wanted to f**k him?!?

nNone of his inner thoughts were shown on his big dragon face, but the long tail in the sea was already whipping up another storm.

nAfter successfully churning the surrounding seawater, the golden dragon shyly admitted to himself that he wanted to f**k too.

nThe golden dragon suddenly thought of a problem.

nEver since he was born, the golden dragon knew in the back of his mind that he would be the last dragon in the world.

nIn other words, he was an infertile dragon.

nWould the little mermaid leave him because of that?

nWould he blame himself for not being able to produce little dragons or mermaids?

n…There must be other sirens in the ocean.

nThe baby sirens in the golden dragon’s inherited memories were very small at first.

nWhat if he went and stole one for the two of them to raise as their own?

nIn less than a minute, the golden dragon was already considering what to do if the little mermaid was sad when their stolen child grew up and found a companion of their own.

nWhile the golden dragon was thinking about this and that, Shi Qing lay comfortably on his paw, enjoying the pleasant rays of sunlight shining down on his body.

nFrom his high-up perch, he could see Zeng Nan’s group clawing their way back to shore.

nZeng Nan and the others were indeed swimming.

nThey knew that at least three hours of grueling travel laid before them, with no guarantee that they wouldn’t lose their way.

nLuckily, Zeng Nan had the foresight to grab a wooden plank that they could rest on in turns if they got tired. They could dive down for fish if they were hungry, and if they were thirsty…

nWelp, nothing they could do about that. Seawater wasn’t drinkable.

nThe more you drank, the thirstier you became.

nIt was also fortunate that the dragon’s roar just now seemed to have scared away all the large fish around, leaving only a single slow moving one behind.

nOtherwise they would still have to contend with underwater dangers.

nAs they swam on with all their might, one subordinate cautiously looked behind them. He just happened to see the horrifying image of the dragon’s huge upper body blocking out the sun.

nHe gulped, “Boss, I don’t think that dragon’s going to chase us since we didn’t bully that mermaid.”

n“Yeah, didn’t that mermaid like you quite a bit, Boss? He might even put in a good word for us!”

n“But I still can’t figure out why the child of a dragon this big would be a mermaid? What do they even have in common other than scales on their bodies??”

nThe size difference alone didn’t make sense. This wasn’t just testing the boundaries of reproductive isolation anymore, this was trampling on the foundations of science itself!

nZeng Nan, who was puffing and swimming: “……”

nWhy are you asking me like I know!?

nIf she had known that the mermaid had this guy backing him up, would she have been so wary? No! She would’ve fallen over herself to appease him!

nIf they had the protection of such a behemoth, they would be able to venture out to sea uncontested.

nHowever….

nAs she recalled how standoffish she had been because she thought the mermaid was pretending to be weak, how she rarely accepted his gestures of goodwill…

nZeng Nan wanted to give her past self two resounding slaps!

nServes you right for making something out of nothing!

nHow could she forget that humans weren’t the only creatures on Earth that could rely on their family’s influence!?!

nShe actually let such a huge golden thigh get away!!

nAhhhh!!! She regretted it so much!!!

nShe didn’t even know if there was a chance to recover from this mistake.

nZeng Nan silently vowed that she would give 12,000% effort if that mermaid came over again, and treat him like her venerable ancestor.

nShe remembered that the mermaid seemed to like inviting her to play in the sea.

nShe would definitely accept next time.

nNever again would she make things up in her head!

nDing! Zeng Nan’s animosity value: 49

/100

nThe System was shocked.

nWhat happened to the animosity value? Wasn’t it over 90 last time??

nIt popped out: Host–

nOh.

nFaced with a mosaic, the System silently stooped back down.

nBut unsettling questions continued to plague its code.

nThe golden dragon was so big. Was the Host actually going to…?

nIt began to question its system life.

nHow was that even possible??

nWould it see a dead fish the next time it came out??

nThe System ducked back so quickly that it failed to notice that the mosaic it had seen wasn’t as big as it should have been. It was way smaller than a building.

nWell, it was still pretty big, relatively speaking…
