Chapter 111 Catch the week
The shadow instantly sank into Lan An's eyebrows, turned into a light blue mark, and quickly disappeared.
[When a mermaid grows up, she becomes the king of the deep sea, but she is weak and has difficulty reproducing when she is young. The spirits left by her ancestors protect her offspring, and she can summon the spirits of her ancestors for help in times of crisis.]
Lou Xianyue explained using his mental power, then smiled at Sang Luo and said, "Sang'er, it's your turn to give a speech."
Under the altar, tens of thousands of orcs raised their heads and looked towards her in unison. Most of them had not had the honor of observing the baptism of the previous successors of the Sea King, but they had heard that at the baptism, the blessing from the biological mother beast would have a huge impact on the orcs, but it was rare for a mother beast to pray and bless them. Her little princess was really lucky!
I wonder what words of blessing Her Majesty the Queen will say?
Make a wish for your offspring to awaken the supreme rule talent? Become the strongest beast king? Lead the South China Sea orcs to fight in all directions? Expand the family's power? Or...
"I wish Xiao'an peace and happiness, no pain and no worries, and grow up healthy."
Sang Luo didn't have too many demands on the children, only very simple wishes.
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned into a stream of light and poured into Lan Euan's brow.
This……
It is truly a blessing to the Word Spirit!
Sang Luo was dumbfounded, she thought it was just a verbal blessing, but she didn't expect it to be serious. This, this, this... was what she said just now too hasty? Could she do it again?
"Thank you for Sang'er's blessing. An'er will grow up healthy." Lou Xianyue solemnly kissed her forehead and said affectionately.
At an angle where no one else could see, Sang Luo reached out and gently tugged at Lou Xianyue's wide silver sleeves, and said in a very low voice, "Is my blessing too simple and casual? There is no difference between saying it and not saying it. My precious son's only chance in this life will not be wasted by me..."
"How can it be wasted?" Lou Xianyue's eyes were so gentle that they were almost sickening. If it weren't for the public, he really wanted to hug her and tear her apart. "Believe me, this is the best wish for him. Xiao An will definitely thank you in the future."
"Next, there are still many complicated ceremonies to be performed. They are all for the sake of the priests' face. If you are tired, go back and rest. After the ceremony is over, I will bring the child back to the palace to find you."
Sang Luo noticed that he seemed to have something to say, but when he turned around and saw several high priests from the South China Sea in gorgeous clothes coming over, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back to the palace and wait for you."
Sang Luo herself didn't like such crowded and noisy occasions, and she had nothing to do later, so she went back to the palace to rest.
In the middle of the night, Lou Xianyue came back with the child.
Lan Euan was sleeping peacefully in his arms, looking no different than before, but Sang Luo could feel that his soul power was much stronger than before.
When she first met Lan Euan, his body was really weak, and his soul power was like a misty fog that could be blown away at any time.
"This is……"
"Sang'er's blessing." Lou Xianyue put his other hand around her waist, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, saying, "The situation of our mermaid clan is a little special. It's a little complicated to explain. If you want to know in the future, I will tell you slowly."
"There is one thing I should tell you. The blessing given by the biological mother at the baptism has a great impact on the life of a mermaid. Your blessing is equivalent to injecting new strength into Xiao An. From now on, he does not need to sleep anymore and can live like a normal cub."
"Didn't you say you slept for a long time when you were a child?" "I wasn't blessed." Lou Xianyue shook his head and said nonchalantly, "This is normal. Most beast mothers won't bless their cubs during baptism."
"Why?" Sang Luo knew that in the beast world, beast fathers usually raised their offspring, and beast mothers had little affection for their offspring. But they were their own children after all, so why should they miss this good opportunity?
"Blessing is actually transferring one's own "blessing" to the offspring. The mermaid cubs will be born with the Void Dao Luck, and during the gestation period, half of the Dao Luck will remain in the mother's body. The essence of blessing is to take back this part of the Dao Luck... This Dao Luck is generally not very useful in the mother's body, but after all, it is a good thing, and no one is willing to give it away." Lou Xianyue said a little nervously, "I didn't tell you about this in advance, will you blame me?"
"I know you want me to bless my son. I will bless him whether you say it or not."
Sang Luo could understand Lou Xianyue's painstaking efforts as a beastman father. What he cared about most was his son. "Compared to this, I care more about another thing. The physique of a natural king beast should be stronger than that of an ordinary beastman. The other cubs I gave birth to are also very strong. Why are the cubs of the merman tribe so weak at birth? Are they really born weak?"
"All the mermaids in our tribe have lived this way, and we are all doing well, aren't we?" He handed the child to her, "Okay, Sang'er, don't think too much. Xiao'an is fine now, and you can spend more time with him when you have time."
Seeing that Lou Xianyue looked fine, Sang Luo thought that he might have overthought, so he nodded and smiled, "We have a custom in our hometown, the Zhou-Zhua ceremony."
"What is the Zhuazhou?"
"When children are one year old, they have their own ideas. Parents will find some representative small things for the children to grab and see which one they like. The things they grab can also tell a child's temperament, personality and preferences to a certain extent. When they grow up, they may become talented in that area." Sang Luo said, "It may not be accurate, but it is still quite memorable."
"Yeah, that's interesting." Lou Xianyue nodded in agreement, "I'll prepare whatever you need."
"Let me think about it. The common ones are abacus, books, scissors, wooden teeth, comb, brush, flute, wooden spoon, copper coins, gourd, wooden hammer, fan, rouge box, seal..." Sang Luo made a list.
These things are basically not sold in the sea, so Lou Xianyue sent people to the land and spent a day preparing the things.
After completing the process, all these small items were placed on a large piece of red cloth. Lou Xianyue held the blue eucalyptus on the ground. She saw the little blue eucalyptus crawling around on the ground, and was carefully selecting them.
Sang Luo thought it would grab a flute or a book, but unexpectedly it ended up grabbing... an abacus.
"This child doesn't look like me." Lou Xianyue was depressed. How could he catch an abacus? Their mermaid clan would never have anything to do with abacus in their entire lives.
"It's up to you!" Sang Luo scolded, "I see the documents in your study are almost piled up like a mountain, and I don't see you touching any of them. The fact that he is good at managing things shows that my son has a bright future."
"Yeah, Sonny is right. There will be someone to take over my position. When Xiao An becomes the Sea King in the future, he will definitely manage the sea better than I do."
After dinner, at night, Sang Luo lay on the bed looking at the ceiling. The joy of the past few days slowly faded away, and a sense of melancholy inexplicably emerged in his heart.
She didn’t expect that Lan Euan, who she hadn’t seen for a year, missed her so much. She held full-month and one-year-old ceremonies for the wolf cub and the little mermaid, but she couldn’t even see the other two cubs. She didn’t even have a chance to hold a birthday party for them...
My schedule has been too irregular recently. I feel too groggy at night to write. I will try to change my schedule and update earlier during the day.
