Ouyang Qing still gave Lan Yu a body check.

She said calmly, "He won’t die, the baby didn’t go all out."

The bolt of lightning that had struck Lan Yu looked exaggerated, but it had only injured his skin and fur.

The baby knew what he was doing.

After all, Lan Yu wasn’t a true enemy; a light singe to the surface was enough.

The baby, who had just struck someone, stretched out his little hand to Su Wan adorably, "Mommy~"

Su Wan reached out and ruffled her beloved son’s fluffy ears, scooping the little guy into her arms.

Alas, the regret of not being able to pet the big fluffy was somewhat made up for here.

An hour later, Lan Yu’s powerful Beastman self-healing ability had him almost completely recovered.

Lan Yu began to explain seriously to Su Wan about the things Mermaid Beastmen needed to be mindful of.

He asked, "Which stage of evolution have you reached now? Can you transform into a mermaid tail yet?"

Su Wan shook her head, "Not yet, just a few scales have grown on my lower legs."

Lan Yu’s eyes widened with urgency and excitement, "Quick, quick, take it off, let me see your lower leg!"

This was, to put it mildly, a bit impolite.

If Commander Gu Qingyu were here, he would probably have frozen Lan Yu into an ice sculpture instantaneously.

But right now, Commander Gu Qingyu was not here.

His son, however, was!

Therefore, Lan Yu’s pride and joy—his blue hair—was struck and exploded outward like a blue hedgehog.

Su Wan patted the baby soothingly and said, "I’ve shed some scales before, I’ll just show you those."

Lan Yu’s original goal was indeed to see Su Wan’s scales.

For every member of the Mermaid Clan with Beast Transformation, the color of their scales could indicate the potential level of their spiritual power.

For example, blue is currently the strongest tail color on the Mermaid Planet, among them, some can reach SSS-class spiritual power.

Lan Ruochen might not look particularly offensive, but he is the only one among the young generation of the Mermaid Planet, those under fifty, with SSS-class spiritual power.

Of course, even within the blue tails, there are levels of strength.

Besides, after blue, the rank follows red, yellow, white, green, and so on.

Every few years or decades, within each color category, there are a few individuals who stand out and break through the common color of Mermaid tails.

But such cases are exceedingly rare.

There’s also a special case with black tails; Merfolk with black tails do not awaken spiritual energy.

They’re just like purebreds from the Federal Empire.

After listening to Lan Yu, Su Wan took out a golden Mermaid Scale.

Lan Yu’s eyes suddenly bulged, his pupils constricting, "This..."

Su Wan: "Just now you said that yellow tails are less strong than red tails, and less than blue tails, does gold count as part of the yellow series?"

Lan Yu shook his head hurriedly, his hair that had exploded looking like a blue sea urchin swaying back and forth.

"No, no, no, the yellow series only refers to orange, tangerine, light yellow, off-white, and so on... This kind of pure gold color has only appeared once on our Mermaid Planet!"

He looked up, his whole body trembling with astonishment and excitement!

"That was Her Majesty, the founding queen of the Mermaid Planet!"

Having previously guessed that her family might be related to the queen, Su Wan was quite composed.

"By that logic, your founding queen would be considered part of the yellow series of tails, and in all these years, there hasn’t been another yellow series tail that is gold?"

"None at all! If there had been, the Lan Family would not have mattered!" Lan Yu’s excitement had his scales exploding outward!

He suddenly knelt down, clutching his chest with one hand, and very devoutly paid a grand tribute to Su Wan!

Su Wan was so startled that she almost threw the baby she was holding!

"Teacher Lan Yu, what are you doing?"

Next to her, Ouyang Qing’s eyes paused, "Lan Yu, why are you performing your Mermaid Clan’s grand tribute for Xiaowan?"

Lan Yu lifted his head, the devotion in his eyes made him look like a believer worshipping a deity.

He said, "Because, our Mermaid Clan has a legend that the one with a golden tail is king! Of course, the premise is that Xiaowan, you must evolve into a complete mermaid form first."

Although he said that, Lan Yu still couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart!

Fortunately, Su Wan was very calm. She picked up a handkerchief, wiped the baby’s mouth, and said, "Oh, that’s a matter for later. I might have only partially evolved. Teacher Lan Yu, you are offering your tribute too early."

Lan Yu: "Not early, not early at all. If you really do evolve into a complete mermaid, I will be your first supporter!"

Su Wan did not quite understand the fervor in Lan Yu’s eyes.

However, he was already eager to take his leave, then said he was going back to study ancient texts and documents.

He left very quickly.

It seemed that no matter what, he wanted to ensure that Su Wan could evolve a complete tail successfully.

After he left in such a hurry, Su Wan turned back in amazement to look at Ouyang Qing and her husband, "Are the people from Mermaid Planet all like this?"

Ouyang Qing shook her head, "I don’t know about others, but we have known Lan Yu for a long time, and he has always been like this."

Gu Qingyu, however, said, "Their Mermaid Clan does have some unique characteristics. We used to think many rumors about them were just sensationalism."

But now, Su Wan might become a member of the Mermaid Clan.

It’s probably better to believe in some things rather than not at all.

In the end, Gu Qingyu said, "Xiaowan, I’ll organize all the related information about mermaids for you later, take a good look at it."

Su Wan: "Okay."

For someone in her twenties who suddenly became a different being, everything needed to be relearned from scratch.

Quite subtle, indeed.

Once Ouyang Qing and her husband had also left, Su Wan was not affected by the explosive news brought by Lan Yu. She went about her routine as usual, playing with the baby and giving them a bath.

As for Ranyue’s mother, Lin Ranyue, she had already returned home earlier after seeing Su Wan come back with several companions, knowing that they had matters to attend to.

Actually, Su Wan really wanted to spend time with her mother.

Being a new mother herself, there were many things she wanted to share with her in whisper.

However... Her stepfather in name, Director Snake, had said nothing.

But every time he looked at Su Wan, his eyes carried a silent accusation.

Accusing the Commander’s wife of monopolizing his wife once again!

Thinking from another angle, Su Wan guessed that Director Gu’s behavior was because he loved her mother, Lin Ranyue, too much.

Therefore, Su Wan tried to bother her mother as little as possible, especially since her mother’s new life was very happy now.

The baby soon to be born, would bring even more joy to this new family.

Su Wan silently prayed in her heart, hoping the baby would not turn out to be snake-like!

Otherwise, as an older sister, she might not be so close to this future brother or sister.

When she received a communication from Sheng An, Su Wan had just finished giving the baby a bath.

The little one’s wolf ears wouldn’t retract and were still wet at the top of their head.

Due to the water not being dry, they shook them unconsciously.

And then, they splashed Su Wan’s face.

Su Wan: "..."
