Chapter 1145: Chapter 1145: The Little Mermaid Huahua 8

Upon hearing just the word "but," Ye Xingguang’s heart abruptly tightened, and a sense of foreboding immediately sprang to mind.

Ye Xingguang unconsciously held Xiao Huahua tighter and interrupted Mr. Xu before he finished, asking anxiously, "But what?"

Mr. Xu said, "Back then, during the Mermaid Transformation Plan, there was also a mermaid baby. She was a normal girl at birth, but suddenly grew a fishtail at the age of two or three."

"I’ve never heard of this," Ye Xingguang said, intrigued.

Mr. Xu said, "Because it was never disclosed to the outside world, that’s why you couldn’t possibly have heard about it. After the Mermaid Transformation Plan was forced to halt, all the data had been locked away by the government. Now, it’s likely only the President has access to those archives."

"But that’s not the main point. The main point is those girls who developed mermaid genes at the age of two or three. If you wish to know their situation, you can ask the President to retrieve their records, so you can understand more directly."

Ye Xingguang thought for a moment: "I will."

Given that mermaid genes manifested in those at the age of two or three, it implies there were other mermaids. But why has the government never mentioned this to the outside world? It surely isn’t that simple.

With countless questions in her mind, Ye Xingguang had to suppress her curiosity and listen as Mr. Xu slowly continued.

Mr. Xu’s gaze fell on Xiao Huahua, saying, "I suspect this little girl’s situation is similar to those two girls. May I ask her a few questions?"

"Of course."

Subsequently, Mr. Xu asked Xiao Huahua a few questions, and after she answered each one, Mr. Xu’s expression became particularly grave.

Seeing Mr. Xu’s tense face, Ye Xingguang’s heart sank to the bottom; does this look bad?

After asking, Mr. Xu motioned for Xiao Huahua to continue playing. She seemed carefree, without the slightest sense of crisis, grabbed a handful of candy, and went out to find Yen’an, still looking forward to pulling out weeds with him.

After Xiao Huahua left again, Ye Xingguang asked nervously, "Mr. Xu, please, just tell me directly. Could it be that Xiao Huahua developing a mermaid tail is not a good thing for her?"

Mr. Xu sighed: "This little girl’s situation is indeed similar to the girls in the Mermaid Transformation Plan who showed mermaid genes two years later. It’s not bad, but let’s just say, it’s not very good."

"What does ’not very good’ mean?"

Mr. Xu said, "There used to be two girls in the Mermaid Transformation Plan. One developed a fishtail at the age of two, the other at three and a half. We were delighted to learn about this, but unfortunately, neither girl lived past age seven."

Ye Xingguang’s heart skipped a beat: "Mr. Xu, what do you mean? Why couldn’t they live past seven? Did they have some disease, were they seriously ill?"

Mr. Xu said, "At that time, the most perfect mermaid was already Xia Yanyan, so when the government later discovered two more mermaids, it wasn’t announced publicly because the unique one is the most valuable. Back then, the most valuable mermaid was Xia Yanyan, so the other two girls were raised by the state but their identities weren’t disclosed. They were, essentially, just backups."
