349 years in the New Galactic calendar.

On planet D14, the bell rings for the end of the basic school, and students laugh and pour out of the gray school building.

Old K, who was curled up in a black trench coat, pressed out the cigarette in his hand on the brick wall, took off his exaggerated sunglasses, and squinted at every child who walked out of the school gate.

The children were not afraid to see him, and several bold ones rushed over to greet him.

Old K responded to the children with a smile, and then he saw Celia, who stood out in the crowd.

Celia is only ten years old, she has grown up on planet D14 since she was a child, but compared to the dark-skinned children on planet D14 who always have a ring of blush on their faces, she is like an overly delicate porcelain doll.

She has long, soft light blonde curly hair, fair skin, delicate features, and a pair of large emerald eyes that shine brighter and charming than the stars in the sky.

Old K rushed over and picked up Celia, who was talking and laughing with her classmates, and turned around, Celia screamed in fright.

She found out that it was Uncle K who picked her up, and chuckled, "Uncle K, let me go." ”

Old K put Celia down, leaned down and whispered in her ear: "Today there is news from the Alien Beast Forest that your father has woken up." ”

Celia's beautiful green eyes were shining, and she said goodbye to her classmates who came out together, holding Lao K's hand and dragging him out.

"Uncle K, hurry up, I'm going to see Dad!"

"Yo, you little girl, don't be in such a hurry, okay?" Old K broke free of Celia's small hands, reached under her flank, picked her up, and ran to the frisbee parked in the parking lot not far from the school gate.

Old K stuffed Celia into the passenger seat of the frisbee, fastened the seat belt for her, and only then did he take his seat and start the frisbee.

The old Razchi D7 Frisbee slowly took off, crossed a graceful arc in the air, and flew onto the aerial roadway of the D14 planet.

In order to ensure the safety of the residents, a transparent protective wall was installed here at the Sons of Liberty base more than ten years ago. Unless there is a special pass for the base, ordinary people cannot enter and exit this alien beast forest at will.

The frisbee stopped in front of the entrance and exit of the protective wall, and the fat guard walked over, and the old K opened the window of the frisbee and handed the fat guard a low-quality cigarette.

The fat guard was not polite, took the cigarette and immediately lit it and smoked it.

"Old K, bring your little niece to the Alien Beast Forest again. She's so young, it's not appropriate for her to go out in such a dangerous place. ”

"You know what?" Old K winked at the fat guard, "Don't look at my niece's young age, he is a disciple of the principal's eye, and he will become a high-level soul beast master in the future." ”

The fat guard lit the ash twice and laughed. "That's right, the children personally selected by Principal Cong Yi will definitely have a bright future in the future."

Old K pouted into the forest and asked, "Is the principal inside?" ”

"Yes, S and Natsu too."

"Okay, don't talk nonsense with you, I'll go in first." Old K closed the car window, started the frisbee, and swooped into the alien beast forest.

The alien beast forest of planet D14 is gloomy and gray, and the air is filled with the smell of damp plant decay. Thick, thick black trunks huddle each other, twisted and sinuous branches dotted with wide, lush leaves, weaving a skytop overhead.

Old K didn't dare to drive too fast in the alien beast forest, and it took him more than three hours to reach his destination with Celia.

A steep mountain, enter from a hole ten meters square above the peak, and you can see a unique scene inside.

Inside the dark cave is an open flat land, and in the deepest part of the flat land, there is a natural waterfall. The rushing waterfall cascades down from the cave/mouth at the top of the mountain, like a silver dragon, roaring into the dark lake beneath the cave.

Old K parked the frisbee next to S's frisbee, and he took Celia's little hand and led her to the dark lake under the waterfall.

Celia has been here many times.

From the time she was sensible, Uncle K, Sister S, Xiao Xia, and Principal Cong Yi would take turns to take her to this place.

They told her that under this dark lake, there was a mermaid sleeping, and this mermaid was her father.

There was a bunch of instruments on the edge of the dark lake that Celia didn't know what they were doing, and Xiao Xia was busy recording something next to the instruments. S and Cong Yi were talking next to them, and when they saw Celia, S immediately walked over and picked her up in three steps and two steps, leaving a bright lipstick mark on her face with a "muma".

"Our sweet little Celia is here!" S hugged Celia in front of Cong Yi and said proudly, "Principal, look, is our little Celia getting more and more beautiful as she grows older?" Her tone was as if she was showing off her precious daughter.

Cong Yi looked at Celia's eyes soft and gentle, he touched Celia's hair, and said lovingly: "Good boy, go over and talk to Dad." ”

Celia got out of S's arms and walked to the edge of the dark lake. She knelt on the wet shore and shouted into the dark water, "Daddy." ”

Celia's heart was beating fast, she had been here countless times, and she had shouted "Daddy" to the bottom of the lake countless times, but there had never been a time when she was so nervous as she was today.

She had a picture of her father, which she hid in her diary like a baby. The father in the photo has black hair and black eyes, a handsome face, and a cold expression, which does not look like himself at all. But Principal Cong Yi said that she looks more like her father's mother, that is, her grandmother.

She knew that her grandmother was Principal Cong Yi's mentor.

Principal Cong Yi also said that her father was treated under the dark lake because of his injury, and when her father's injury healed and she woke up, she would be able to see him. So she has been looking forward to the day when she meets her dad since she was a child.

She shouted "Dad" to the bottom of the dark lake again, and after a while, the dark lake still didn't respond.

Celia was a little disappointed, she thought that her father must not want to see her.

She turned her head to look at Cong Yi and S, but found that they were already far away, and I don't know if it was because she didn't want to disturb the moment when she and her father got together.

Celia's heart was filled with a haze of loneliness, and she approached the lake, reaching out to stir in the water to get her father out.

The water in the dark lake was warm and very comfortable, and Celia reached deeper, but her feet were not steady, and she fell into the lake.

Celia couldn't swim, she threw herself twice in the water, and as she was about to cry for help, she felt a pair of hands firmly hold her waist.

A man appeared behind her, who wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her out of the lake. She heard the rattling of the water and the fluttering of her wings in the air, and she was carried into the air.

"Daddy!" Celia screamed in shock, and she realized that her voice was hoarse.

The person behind him hugged her tightly, he rested his chin on her little shoulder, and said in a hoarse voice: "Celia, my Celia, my child......"

Celia cried aggrievedly and kept calling, "Daddy, Daddy—"

Shen Ling flew to the edge of the dark lake with her in his arms, he put her down, and little Celia wiped her tears and didn't take a closer look at what her father looked like, so she eagerly threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.

"I'm sorry." Shen Ling stroked his daughter's vest and apologized with tears.

He only felt that he had slept for a long time, but he didn't expect that ten years had passed, and his daughter had changed from a small lump of meat in his belly to a slim appearance now. In the past ten years, he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father at all, and he even thought about dying on that spaceship with his daughter.

This qiē made Shen Ling's heart full of guilt for his daughter, so he hesitated just now and didn't dare to come out and recognize his daughter.

After crying enough, Celia and Shen Ling separated, looking at her father's appearance with red and swollen eyes.

Dad's appearance is a little similar to the one in the photo but it's not the same, compared to the photo, Dad looks much more beautiful now, and there is a pair of wings behind such a dad, it's handsome!

Celia's gaze moved down and saw Shen Ling's silver-white fishtail.

Although she had known that her father was a mermaid for a long time, Celia couldn't help but exclaim when she saw it with her own eyes.

Such a beautiful fishtail has a lustrous color like molten silver in a cave where the light is not strong.

"Dad, am I a mermaid too?" Celia excitedly asked, "Can I have wings and tails like you?" ”

Shen Ling gently stroked his daughter's round cheek, I don't know if it was because he was too obsessed with Celia when Ludwig was a child. When little Celia was born, he also specially instructed her to be named Celia. Ten years have passed, and his daughter really looks like Ludwig carved out of a mold when he was a child. Her eyes, in particular, were exactly the same as the Ludwig he remembered, both in color and shape.

"You'll find out when you're older." Shen Ling replied, "Maybe you'll be like your other father, a powerful little dragon. ”

"Do I still have a dad?" Celia blinked and asked, "Where's the other father?" ”

"In Kamilia."

"Why isn't he with us, doesn't he want us?"

"He didn't know we were here, and he wouldn't want Celia."

"Then who is more powerful, the little dragon or the little mermaid?" Celia asked expectantly, "Am I going to be the most powerful dragonfish?" ”

Shen Ling couldn't help but laugh, and he kissed Celia on the forehead.

Ash also exclaimed in his mind, "What a smart and lovely little girl."

The phoenix, who usually likes to grab words and complain, did not come out, in fact, after Shen Ling woke up, he never heard the voice of the phoenix.

"I'll take you to him." Shen Ling tightened his arms and took Celia into his arms again.

It's been ten years, ten years ago he sent Ludwig away, and he stayed on the ship that was about to explode, and Ludwig probably thought he was dead.

Although he said those unfinished words before sending Ludwig away, he knew that Ludwig would definitely not believe him. Seeing his beloved die like this, he was informed before he died that he had his child in his belly.

How hard did Ludwig get hit at that time?

Ten years from now, what will he become?
