Fortunately, Bai Su didn’t stay for long and left shortly after. Mo Yi looked around at the spacious house and the small octopus that had fallen asleep on his shoulder, unsure of what to say.
Professor Bai seemed to only see his partner as his pet, a cute little plaything. But what about Baibai? Did he feel the same way?
Baibai also liked Professor Bai, as evidenced by how he allowed himself to be touched on the head and fell asleep in the man’s hands without any defenses. What kind of affection did he have for Professor Bai?
Mo Yi felt a sense of grievance in his heart. Baibai had never been so close to a stranger before.
“Wuwu.”
Mo Yi made a few whimpering sounds, using his prominent nose to nudge the small octopus in his hand.
Baibai, who had been dozing off, woke up quickly. He felt strange. How did he fall asleep so easily? He just felt an unusually peaceful aura a moment ago, as if he had returned to the embrace of the sea god that nurtured him.
“Wuwu…”
Mo Yi’s voice sounded again, fully awakening Baibai. Blinking his large, round eyes, Baibai quickly shook off his drowsiness. Propping up Mo Yi’s cheek with a few tentacles, he saw the distressed expression on his future royal queen’s face.
Even though Mo Yi didn’t say anything, Baibai could sense his sadness.
“Pfft?”
What happened? He had only dozed off for a moment, and someone dared to bully his future royal queen while he was asleep?
“Puff Puff!”
Tell me, and I, as the prince, will avenge you!
Puffing like he was filled with righteous indignation, Baibai vigorously waved his tentacles.
Meanwhile, Mo Yi was troubled by the barrier of language communication. At this moment, he could only express his feelings unilaterally, hoping that his partner would understand his thoughts.
“Baibai, don’t like anyone else, okay?”
“Puff?”

“Puff.” Bai Ren patted Mo Yi’s hand back with his tentacles. Although he found it strange why the other person brought up Professor Bai, Bai Ren decided to comfort his future spouse.
He didn’t have any romantic feelings towards Professor Bai. If anything, the affection felt more like familial love.
Even though the other person wasn’t currently in a seafolk state, Bai Ren felt like he was that person’s child.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t explain these feelings to Mo Yi.
Thinking back to how Mo Yi comforted him when he was feeling down, Bai Ren decisively used two tentacles to pull Mo Yi’s face close and planted a kiss on his cheek.
“Puff puff puff, Puff!”
One kiss after another landed softly and coolly on Mo Yi’s cheek.
Feeling the love from his partner, Mo Yi’s mood gradually calmed down.
Maybe he was just overthinking things.
Mo Yi kissed the top of Bai Ren’s head, realizing that they needed better communication between them and that his partner might need a lot of energy supply for that. Energy crystals would be indispensable to achieve it.
With that in mind, Mo Yi immediately took Bai Ren upstairs to the bedroom, where his luggage was already arranged.
Opening the suitcase, he found a large box containing energy crystals that the original owner had kept for his own use.
Although they weren’t as high-level as black crystals, there were several green and red crystals, which should still be helpful for his partner.
So he quickly spread all these crystals on the bed and placed Bai Ren on top of them, happily saying, “Look, these are all the energy crystals you like. Come, enjoy them!”
Bai Ren: ???
Looking at Mo Yi’s hopeful eyes, Bai Ren couldn’t help but recall the fear he felt when they first met and he was stuffed with stones.
One misstep leads to eternal regret!
Although he knew that these shiny energy-filled stones would benefit him, eating them was really uncomfortable. He had to make it clear to Mo Yi that he didn’t need to eat them.
But why were his tentacles acting on their own?
As Mo Yi looked at him with bright puppy eyes, Bai Ren felt his tentacles disobeying him and directly stuffing the crystals into his mouth.
As he swallowed the hard crystals, Bai Ren shed imaginary tears, thinking this must be the price of having a super good-looking partner!
Back on the main planet, since they moved to a place with better conditions, Mo Yi finally set up a large water tank in the bedroom for his little companion.
Inside were various decorations, aquatic plants, and colorful pebbles. Of course, Bai Ren was the only one living in the glass tank.
“Well, he has me, a dog, so that’s enough! No need to keep fish or shrimp as pets, and he doesn’t need to keep food in the tank either!” Mo Yi confidently told 006 in his mind.
006 nodded in agreement, “Exactly, with you, he’s definitely very content.”
After spending a comfortable night in their new home, the next day Mo Yi had some military matters to attend to. Seeing his little companion still half-asleep, Mo Yi couldn’t help but smile.
“I have some work to do, I should be back before noon. Is it okay if I leave breakfast on the table for you?”
Bai Ren nodded his round head, watching Mo Yi leave the room before gracefully sliding back into the water tank and falling asleep again.
The whole house was quiet, with the bedroom window open, letting in a refreshing breeze from time to time.
Unnoticed, a figure entered through the second-floor window, landing silently without making a sound.
Bai Su stood in front of the water tank, looking at the sleeping Bai Ren with a furrowed brow, his eyes filled with helpless concern.
His palm pressed against the glass of the tank, and a gentle energy flowed through his hand into the water, enveloping Bai Ren and slowly healing the hidden injuries within his body.
“Sigh, how did this little guy end up like this?”
The man looked at Bai Ren in the tank with inadvertent affection. When he felt the time was right, he stopped the treatment, took a few steps back, walked to the window, and disappeared into the room.
Throughout the whole process, Bai Ren remained unaware of any other presence, surrounded by familiar and comforting vibes.
He sank deep into his dreams, but at this moment, his dreams were undergoing constant changes.
In the vast depths of the sea, every creature has its own way of reproduction, and among them, the royal family of the sea tribe is the most special.
Because the royal family is not born from a mother’s womb, but in a mysterious valley deep in the sea, enveloped by the power of the sea god. They are naturally born, while also receiving a portion of the sea god’s power.
Thus, the royal family of the sea tribe can command the winds and control the weather. Their appearance bears the fate of the sea tribe.
And he, Bai Ren, from the moment of his birth, was the strongest among the royal family, destined to be the king of all sea creatures, even the royal family had to obey his commands.
The previous sea king raised him as the heir after taking him out, and he lived carefreely ever since. However, he always felt like something was missing.
After that, there were only vague, fragmented memories – his growth, the people around him. The loyal Crab Guard Captain, several royal brothers and uncles, the day he received congratulations from all his subjects when he transformed into human form.
Thus, Bai Ren’s memories flowed in his dreams.
Until he woke up from his slumber again, his eyes, resembling rubies, opened. Below them was a straight nose and slightly parted thin lips.
Bai Ren blinked a few times, attempting to extend his tentacles forward, but what he saw was a pale and sturdy arm with five slender fingers.
However, the nails on those fingers were exceptionally sharp, as if they could easily tear apart prey.
His eyes widened suddenly, and Bai Ren confirmed his hands in the water once again, before pushing himself up from the edge of the tank.
He had transformed; he finally regained his humanoid form!
With a big smile on his face, Bai Ren was ecstatic. At the same time, he realized that his memories seemed to be in great disorder, with many things forgotten. However, he now clearly remembered that he was not in his infancy anymore; he was close to adulthood, just a step away from complete maturity.
Feeling like he had slept for a long time, Bai Ren felt much better physically. He climbed out of the water tank, running his fingers through his wet hair.
He didn’t want to dwell on the confused memories for now, as they seemed to lead nowhere. But at least, he remembered Mo Yi, the future queen he had identified as his partner. He really liked him!
He was so happy to have met him!
With a smile on his face, Bai Ren took a few faltering steps before beginning to adapt to walking on land. It was his first time walking on such dry ground in humanoid form.
Feeling somewhat curious, Bai Ren wandered around the house. Eventually, he returned to the bedroom and opened the wardrobe, which was full of Mo Yi’s clothes.
He rummaged through them casually, but none caught his fancy. Instead, he grabbed a black T-shirt hanging on a chair. He remembered Mo Yi wearing it before and taking it off without washing.
Holding the T-shirt to his nose, Bai Ren sniffed it earnestly. He liked the scent; as a humanoid, he could now perceive smells with his nose, and somehow, the scent seemed even better.
He couldn’t help but feel the urge to swallow this scent…
Mo Yi coming back: ⊙_⊙… what did I miss?
