"Uncle is a fish! So beautiful, so beautiful! So amazing, so amazing!" Her voice was tender, clapping her hands with excitement on her face!
Bingqing was amused by Lingxian's demeanor. "You're not afraid?"
"Incredibly beautiful!" Lingxian stared at Bingqing's fish tail without blinking, then looked disdainfully at her own short, stubby legs and said, "When I grow up, will I have a tail too?"
"No, you won't!" Bingqing didn't want to lie to her, so he said it directly.
"Then why does Uncle have a fish tail?"
"Because you're human, and I'm a Mermaid! We're not the same species, just like how dogs and cats aren't the same, so you shouldn't follow me!" Bingqing solemnly told Lingxian.
Lingxian seemed to vaguely understand, though it was unclear what she was thinking in her little head; in any case, she wasn't frightened away from Bingqing by him transforming into a fish tail!
