With his two hands on the edge of the small pool, the little mermaid whose ice-blue tail was swaying under the surface, pulled himself up and lifted his head. His blue eyes were looking at the two parents who were nestled against each other nearby.

The little mermaid first looked at the man standing on the left, then turned his eyes to the youth on the right. He then finally shook his tail fin lightly.

Xie Tao originally intended to hold him for a few seconds, then let go. But the tail around his waist and the other's response of hugging him back lengthened those seconds into more than ten.

In this kind of situation, where it could be said to be almost no gap between the two of them, Xie Tao's right cheek inevitably rubbed against the silver hair of this Knox. It was very cool and soft to the touch.

Xie Tao also touched the silver hair with his hand, you could see that it was very good quality.

Some more seconds passed, but Xie Tao did not feel that the Knox intended to let him go anytime soon.

At this close distance, Xie Tao had realized that in his adult form, the Knox was a little taller than him. He was actually almost half a head shorter.

Discovering that the mermaid cub in the small pool was looking straight at them with bright blue eyes, Xie Tao reached out and patted the silver tail around his waist. He then stepped back once it slightly loosened its grip.

When mermaid cubs returned to the water, they recovered quickly.

Xie Tao walked over with a chair and sat down by the small pool. He watched the cub play around in the water for about ten minutes, then picked up the mermaid cub from the pool.

Preparing to leave, the silver-haired Knox standing next to him returned to his cub form and jumped onto the youth's lap.

Xie Tao tied the cloak for the Knox cub and held both cubs in his arms.

When he stood up, he felt some movement. Xie Tao looked down just in time to see the mermaid cub laying to the left reach out and grab one of the small horns of the Knox cub sitting next to him.

The Knox moved his tail slightly, but did not dodge, as if allowing the action of the mermaid cub.

It was a quite nice atmosphere. But how come he felt that the interaction between the two seemed to have changed a little over the night....

It was time to go back to Gaia today, but before leaving the planet, Xie Tao had one last thing he wanted to do.

It was not something he had come up with at the last minute. Xie Tao had thought for some time that since they were going to Hailumite, maybe he would let the mermaid cub he brought with him meet his late biological parents.

The idea was to take the cub to the cemetery to visit their gravestones.

The mother and father of the mermaid cub had departed very early and Xie Tao did not know what attitude the parents of the little mermaid had towards the cub. But at least the abandonment of the cub had not been done by them.

As the central city of Hailumite, Sailou had the most famous and largest cemetery on Hailumite. Every leader of the mermaid race and many heroes rested in this cemetery.

Some prestigious families in the mermaid race also choose to bury their family members there. It was based on this information that Xie Tao came to the cemetery with the two cubs in his arms.

After he arrived, he first tried to find the manager of the cemetery to further inquire about the matter. Following the directions given by the other, Xie Tao went to an area in the Osidiun Cemetery which was designated for the Houdie family.
