n“I already checked it. It should be that the master’s adulthood period has not stabilized, and it is easy to return to the mermaid state when you get emotional,” the system explained after querying the data. After all, when ordinary mermaids reproduce, they are mainly in the mermaid state. “Master, you can try to change the form yourself and, after you get used to it, this situation won’t happen anymore.”

nXi Ning was puzzled. “But how do I change forms?”

n“This, you need to rely on your own consciousness,” the system couldn’t explain it well, so it tried its best to describe, “Master, you can try to close your eyes and keep meditating ‘I want to become a human, I want to become a human’……”

nXi Ning followed the system’s suggestion. Ten minutes later, he opened his eyes and still saw his fish tail.

nHe had no choice but to give up, and the system comforted him, “Master it’s okay. You can try more in the future, and you will definitely succeed.”

nAt this time, Louis came back from outside, he put down a plate of food that he was holding, grabbed a low stool to sit by the aquarium and hugged Xi Ning, then he let him lean on his arms with his fish tail hanging in the water.

n“Are you hungry, babe?” Louis squeezed Xi Ning’s cold palm and took the food from the plate. “I ordered someone to specially make this for you.”

nXi Ning looked at it curiously. The bowl was full of fish meat and vegetables like kelp. There wasn’t much seasoning, but it still smelled good. Louis explained, “This is codfish and salman, it’s good for your body.”

nIt could provide a lot of nutrients, and the meat of the fish was very tender. Louis fed Xi Ning with a spoon, occasionally also feeding him some chopped vegetables. Xi Ning obediently ate a whole bowl, which is much more than he used to eat when he was in his mermaid form.

nXi Ning was very full after the meal, he hugged Louis and rubbed his neck. “Thank you Lulu.”

nLouis secretly thought to himself, I prefer that you quickly change back into human than thank me.

nThe pirates on the spaceship didn’t see Louis and Xi Ning coming out to eat together for several days. Someone asked, “Why didn’t the boss take His Highness out for dinner?”

nLouis had ordered them to address Xi Ning as His Highness, and they were all used to it and would usually call Xi Ning “His Highness”. Vera heard the voice not far away and glanced at them.

nThe companion at the table rolled his eyes. “Why do you want to care so much about it, just eat your meal quickly.”

n“What’s wrong with me asking about it, since he will be our sister-in-law anyway,” the speaker replied, “Can’t I be concerned?”

nVera retracted his gaze. Looking at the food on the plate, she had lost her appetite. After a while, she threw down her chopsticks, got up and left alone.

n“Eh……” The subordinate at the same table wanted to call out to stop her, but he was stopped by the person beside him

/ “Sister Vera is in a bad mood, don’t bother her for now, we can deliver the food to her later.”

nVera walked back to her room through the corridor. Someone greeted her respectfully along the way. Vera was agitated and only nodded perfunctorily.

nShe went back to her room, leaned against the door, closed her eyes and took a deep breath to try to calm down. She then took out a key from her shirt, walked to the table and opened the bottom drawer.

nThere was an old-fashioned communicator in the drawer. Vera took it out to wipe the dust off it, connected the charger to the device and charged it. After a while the screen of the communicator lit up.

nVera didn’t move. She sat at the table and looked at the communicator for a long time, until her neck became a little stiff. Finally, she reached out and took it, and clicked on the only contact in it.

nLouis had prepared several kinds of fish for Xi Ning to eat every day for the past few days. Xi Ning was getting tired of eating those and started to miss the Chinese food in the cafeteria.

nToday’s meal was still fish. After taking a few bites, Xi Ning said, “I don’t want to eat this anymore.”

n“Okay, okay, we won’t eat this tomorrow,” Louis coaxed him while holding the bowl, “Today’s food will go bad if you don’t eat it. You mustn’t waste the food.”

nIn the past, Xi Ning only ate ordinary food. Louis was worried that it would not be nutritious for him and his growth would be stunted. These fish were a lot more expensive than ordinary food. Even if it wasn’t for the price, it was still healthier for Xi Ning so Louis wanted him to eat them all.

nXi Ning frowned and refused to eat. He lowered his head and buried himself in the clothes in front of Louis and said in a muffled voice, “Are you trying to fatten me up and then sell me for a good price……”

nLouis put the bowl aside, bent down to scoop up some water and poured it on Xi Ning’s fish tail, and said slowly, “It’s true that I want to fatten you up, but I’m reluctant to sell you. I just want to keep you for myself.”

nXi Ning raised his head and glared at him. Louis took the opportunity to squeeze his chin and kissed him. He tasted a bit of the fish in Xi Ning’s mouth, “It tastes good, why are you so picky now?”

n“You try to only eat this every day,” Xi Ning pushed his face away, dissatisfied. “It all tastes the same, I won’t eat it.”

nThe water splashing from his fish tail made Louis’s clothes and trousers wet, but Louis didn’t mind it. When Xi Ning calmed down, he said, “If you finish your meal, I’ll take you to a place tomorrow.”

n“Where? Are we going out to play?” Xi Ning became a little interested. After he turned back into a mermaid, he could only stay in the water every day and couldn’t go anywhere. “You can’t lie to me.”

nLouis pinched Xi Ning’s face lightly. “When did I lie to you? Raising you is like raising a little ancestor. Everything is fed to your mouth by hand. There’s no one other than you can get such treatment here.”

nWith his assurance, Xi Ning reluctantly said, “Okay then, I will eat it.”

nHe then slowly finished eating the remaining fish in the bowl. Louis was wiping the corners of his mouth when someone knocked on the door.
