Chapter 191 164 Ayu prefers a formidable dad
Seeing the sudden task prompt before his eyes, coupled with the awkward situation at hand, even the seasoned Emperor Youyou couldn't help but feel a darkening before his eyes.
It wasn't that he ever worried about whether he could complete the task or not, but this new task would give Fang You a sense of astonishment borne from his own doing.
Actually, when he graduated from kindergarten, Fang You had a good opportunity to stop Ayu from continuing to call him dad, since by that time, Nuo Nuo had stopped playing house with him. Without Nuo Nuo acting as a wife and grandmother, Ayu naturally couldn't be the daughter.
However, because Ayu was crying so fiercely at the time, Fang You and Xia Nuo agreed to let her continue calling him dad until her father returned.
As a result, she had been calling him that for many years, to the extent that "dad" had become Luo Xianyu's exclusive term for Fang You. It had evolved to a point where it was no longer just a habit, but even displayed in front of the original characters!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Ah, why only 1 point?
Is 1 point already very shocking?
The awkward atmosphere was first broken by the one and only deity Nuo Nuo beside him—
While Ayu clung to his arm, Xia Nuo also took the initiative to take his other arm and began to introduce herself:
"Fish daddy, hello! I am Ayu's good friend, Xia Nuo! You can call me Nuo Nuo!"
She also introduced Fang You to Fish daddy: "That, that! This handsome child's name is Fang You, and he, along with Youyou and Ayu, has always been very close, very good friends, you know!"
"Ah... So it's Nuo Nuo and Youyou? You've all grown up so much... I can hardly recognize you!"
"Ayu hasn't seen her father in so long, she almost couldn't recognize you either!"

"Ah... I indeed haven't come back in a long time."
"But Ayu has been really looking forward to meeting her father again, right, Ayu?"
"Hmm..."
At this time, Xia Nuo took the initiative to push Ayu to the front of the welcoming balloons, took Ayu's hand, and the two of them together pulled the ribbons of the balloons.
"Welcome! Fish daddy, welcome home!"
And so, everyone started clapping together.
Although Luo Xianyu was still somewhat reluctant, since she was already an eight-year-old child, she knew she was just throwing a tantrum, so she at least didn't bring up the matter of the other daddy afterwards.
Nuo Nuo pulled off a god-tier save that brought the welcome party back on track. Everyone was harmonious at the dinner table, and Fish daddy was as approachable as ever, speaking freely during the conversation with Nuo Nuo and Fang You, without the airs of an adult, sharing many interesting incidents that happened in the polar regions.
Witnessing the migration of thousands of penguins, observing the beautiful auroras, trying a variety of unique polar cuisine, encountering and exchanging with explorers and scientists from around the world, Ayu's daddy shared his rich and colorful experiences from polar expeditions.
Fang You demonstrated his Talent of multitasking, listening to Fish daddy's stories while mentally choosing to accept the task.
A man should take responsibility for his actions!
Since he had been called daddy by Ayu for so long, he felt a responsibility and obligation to hand Ayu back to her real father.
To make Ayu willing to interact with her father, he had to first build up a shining image of her father in Ayu's heart and make up for past mistakes!
Therefore, during this chat, Fang You also took the opportunity to explain the issue about the specimens.
"So Ayu feels that this practice is very cruel..."
Fish daddy smiled while gazing at Luo Xianyu beside him: "This shows that Ayu has a kind heart, caring about the feelings of other life forms."
"But biological specimens hold very important significance for scientific research, education, and species conservation. These marine creatures all live in the deep, deep sea, and under normal circumstances, we seldom have the chance to encounter them. As kids like you don't have the opportunity to go on deep-sea expeditions, we make specimens so everyone can learn more about marine life.
Wouldn't you agree?"
"But this is just the corpse of a starfish!"
Luo Xianyu grumbled, "Although this starfish is pretty and looks like a gem, the thought that it's made from the body of a dead starfish makes Ayu feel like vomiting."
"That's true..."
Father Fish said, "But birth, aging, sickness, and death, as well as the reproduction and evolution of species, are the natural laws of development. Just like the fried fish we are eating now, it is also a kind of body, from which we obtain nutrients. And when we die one day, we too will return to the arms of nature..."
While Father Fish was patiently explaining, Luo Xianyu immediately widened her eyes in surprise:
"Does that mean, after Ayu dies, you're going to eat me too!"
"Ah? How could that be, daddy didn't mean that—"
Father Fish...
is a typical science guy.
Looking at the meal in front of her and thinking about what Father Fish had just said, Luo Xianyu suddenly lost her appetite.
"I, I'm full."
"How can you be full after eating so little?"
Luo Xianyu put down her chopsticks, and without responding to her mother's comment, ran back to her room.
"..."
"This child... She's usually so well-behaved and obedient."
Mother Fish propped her chin in her hand, feeling somewhat helpless, "How come she's like a different person today."
"Because I haven't come back to see her in a long time, so maybe we're just a little estranged..."
"Hmph, in my opinion, that's not the case."
"Not the case?"
Xia Nuo on the side scooped up fish with a spoon and ate, then pursed her lips and frowned as she pondered for a while before giving an answer:
"I think it's because... Ayu prefers impressive daddies!"
"Impressive daddies?"
Xia Nuo didn't continue to extend the topic, but instead countered with a question:
"Father Fish, Father Fish, have you ever seen the deep-sea overlord Godzilla?"
"Godzilla, ah... Uncle knows, it is a very very powerful deep-sea giant creature, but so far no one has ever really seen it."
"So... do you think Godzilla really exists or not?"
"That... isn't necessarily the case."
Father Fish didn't rush to negate Xia Nuo's fantasy, "After all, there are many mysterious species in the deep sea that we humans haven't discovered, so maybe it's been living at the very bottom of some sea area..."
"Hmm... that's exactly the issue."
"That's why I say, Father Fish is still not impressive enough, so that's why Ayu treats daddy with that attitude!"
Xia Nuo propped up her chin and nodded to herself, adopting the pose of a distinguished detective, and continued to explain, "Father Fish, if you could bring back the tooth of Godzilla, if I were Ayu, I would definitely admire you very very much!"
