It was a very gentle and loving female voice.

The moment Yuhu heard that voice, a word involuntarily emerged in his mind -

mother.

He has never seen his mother since he was born.

I heard from the tribesmen that his mother was the best warrior among the mermaids.

It is precisely because of the existence of people like his mother that the elderly and children of the mermaid tribe can live in peace.

Yuhuo's imaginary mother has many appearances.

But even if those images are overlapped, it is still impossible to construct a specific mother.

Until the day when the mermaids were defeated.

The tribesmen in the underwater palace brought him to the surface.

In the distant sky, the collision and explosion of spiritual lights were like fireworks, and the sea below was dazzlingly red.

The blue ocean was dyed red, making people mistakenly believe that the ocean was that color.

"Run away."

The tribesmen in the rear understood that the situation was hopeless.

If we don't leave now, the mermaids will only perish.

The water-stained pearls sank into the sea. The mermaids left the underwater palace where they had lived for a long time and swam towards the unknown distance.

As his tribesmen left, Yuhuo couldn't help but turn his head and look towards the battlefield at the last moment.

I heard that my mother is there.

The demon army was aggressive and wanted to break through the shaky defense line of the mermaids.

At this moment, a beam of blue light shot up into the sky.

The mermaid's screams could be clearly heard by Yuhuo even from such a distance.

The tribesmen shouted—

"General!"

General.

That is a title that can only be awarded to the most outstanding warriors of the mermaid tribe.

Yuhuo widened his eyes, that was the first time he saw his mother. Even though he couldn't see her face clearly, there was only the blue light rising into the sky.

The blue light was so blinding that it almost dyed the sky and sea, which had been dyed red by blood, back to their original color.

Yuhuo stared in amazement, and saw that the blue light swept away the demon army on the opposite side with force, and with a force that could not be refused, but without hurting anyone, it sent the remaining mermaid army in the rear away from the battlefield.

"go!"

A female voice came from afar, as ethereal as a revelation from the gods. People could not resist her orders, but could not help but shed tears for her steadfast protection at this moment.

She sent away the last elite members of the mermaid tribe, went to protect the tribesmen in the rear and escape, and faced the massive army of the demon tribe alone.

Mermaids who have reached the peak of spiritual transformation can move mountains and fill the sea, and live as long as the sky.

However, she gave up her almost immortal life and stood guard at the front line with the determination to die.

Build a wall with flesh and blood to block the enemy.

That day was the first time Yuhuo saw his mother, and also the last time.

That day was the first time Yuhuo heard his mother's voice, and also the last time.

That day was the first time Yuhuo spoke to his mother, and also the last time.

His tears turned into countless pearls, sank to the bottom of the sea, taking away his weak voice.

"Mom, I'm leaving."

He said.

For example, before a child goes out, he stands at the door and says something casually to his mother inside the house.

"Why are you crying..."

The gentle female voice, with a hint of panic, pulled Yuhuo back to reality from his memories.

She stopped talking before she finished.

Yuhuo realized something and raised his hand to catch the fallen pearl.

His gaze shifted and he met a pair of surprised eyes.

She was a middle-aged woman. According to the human calculation method, she looked to be over 40 years old.

She was wearing old, starched clothes that had turned white, and her hair was dry and yellow due to malnutrition. Time had left deep marks on her face, making her look particularly weathered.

Although Yuhu is young, only sixteen years old, he often listens to the elders of the tribe talking about the affairs of other tribes in the underwater palace. He knows that the greed and weakness of ordinary humans are not enough to fight against a young merman like him.

He was not afraid, but just held the pearl and looked at the woman.

But after all, it was the first time he left the protection of the mermaids. In this strange place, facing the unfamiliar humans, Yuhuo's expression was a little tense.

"Gululu..."

But at this moment, the rumbling in his stomach betrayed him.

The woman came back to her senses from her surprise, looked at him and said, "You are the young sea god, right?"

The mermaids live in the sea, but they are not isolated from the world and they occasionally encounter humans.

If humans are in trouble, the mermaids will help.

Their appearance is somewhat similar to that of humans, and their fish tails can transform into legs after leaving the shore.

The rescued fishermen regarded them as gods living in the sea who would protect humans, and called them sea goddesses.

Although Yuhuo inherited the tall stature of the mermaids, his childish face still betrays the fact that he is young.

After hearing the rumbling sound of his stomach, the surprise and awe in the woman's eyes faded away, and there was a bit more kindness of an elder.

"I made some pumpkin porridge. Please wait for a while."

The woman stood up.

The house was not big and there was no special kitchen. There was just a stove in the corner with a vent to prevent the house from being filled with smoke when the fire was lit.

At this time, a sweet smell emanates from the small pot on the stove.

The woman scooped out a bowl of porridge and handed it to Yuhuo.

The fisherman lives in the sea and often eats raw fish. This is the first time he has seen human food.

Not sensing any ill will from the woman, he involuntarily relaxed a little, pointed at the things in the bowl, and asked, "What is this yellow thing?"

"This is a pumpkin. It's the first time I've seen it, too."

The woman smiled and said, "My neighbor Aunt Wang gave it to me. Her son often goes inland and brings her some things back from time to time. Aunt Wang will share some with me."

When she said this, there was a hint of loneliness in the woman's smile.

She added, "Aunt Wang said pumpkin porridge tastes good, so I tried it, but I don't know how it tastes yet."

Upon hearing this, Yuhuo simply took a sip and widened his eyes: "What is this taste?!"

The woman asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Is it hard to drink?"

She also took a sip and tasted it. Her face, which had been bitter due to the vicissitudes of life, now showed a bit of enjoyment and satisfaction: "It's sweet and delicious."

“Is this taste called sweet?”

Yuhuo spoke up. This was a taste he had never tasted before in the sea. "It tastes good. I like it."

The woman then realized that Yuhuo just didn't know how to describe the taste of the pumpkin porridge, not that he found it unpalatable.

"Ha ha……"

The woman couldn't help laughing.

The little sea god, who looked as handsome as a young master from a wealthy family, actually showed the look of an innocent child and jumped for joy after taking a mouthful of sweet porridge.

So cute.

Cuter than many children she had ever seen.

Yuhuo didn't know why she was laughing.

But when the woman smiled, the vicissitudes of life on her face disappeared, as if she had forgotten all the troubles in the world, revealing her original cheerful nature.

Yuhuo stared at her smiling face, and inexplicably, he couldn't help but think of his mother.

Strange, it's obviously very different.

His mother was a powerful warrior in the eyes of her tribe.

When they first met, he was a powerful existence who could sweep away thousands of troops with his own strength and protect the mermaids.

The human in front of him was so weak that he could crush him to death with just one finger.

But the woman's smile reminded him of his mother.

Was it because he was too far away from his mother when they met?

If I could meet my mother face to face, would she also smile as cheerfully as this when she looked at me?
