Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 912 The little ones meet!
"Wu ...!!! Dad!!"

As He Ming walked out of the MACROSS King Kong, a little mermaid flew over with its tail swinging, hugged He Ming's face and rubbed it back and forth, while also making a crisp laugh.

Suddenly, the little guy saw Xiao Chengying sitting obediently on He Ming’s shoulders. His eyes lit up and he flew over.

"Oh! Friends... Friends!"

The little mermaid circled around little Chengying a few times, then immediately hugged her excitedly. Little Chengying was so scared that she flapped her wings and hid on He Ming's other shoulder.

"Oh?"

Seeing Xiao Chengying flying away, the little mermaid tilted her head, then her eyes lit up, and she chased after him, shouting again.

Seeing this, Xiao Chengying flapped his wings again and flew up.

So, the two little guys started an aerial chase around He Ming.

As they chased each other, little Chengying seemed to understand that the little mermaid had no ill intentions and just wanted to play with her, so the frequency of her wing flapping gradually slowed down and her expression became more relaxed.

Suddenly, the little mermaid's laughter sounded like a silver bell.

The two little guys were having a lot of fun, but He Ming was almost dizzy by them.

He Ming just stretched out his hands and caught the two little guys who were playing crazy.

"Xiaoya, Xiaochengying, stop chasing me! You guys are almost making me dizzy."

Facing He Ming's scolding, the little mermaid Xiaoya tilted her head and secretly glanced at Xiao Chengying who was also caught next to her, and the other person was also secretly looking at the little mermaid.

Then, the two little guys actually laughed at the same time.

Looking at the two little ones who quickly became friends, He Ming was no longer angry. He put them on his shoulders, one on each side, and led them to the platform.

"Thank you for your hard work! He Ming. Hmm? Who is she?"

As soon as they saw He Ming coming, Lin Mingmei and Salamantini, who had been waiting for a long time, came over to greet him.

But Lin Mingmei immediately noticed the little Chengying sitting on He Ming's left shoulder.

"Well, this is little Chengying. For some reason, the elves born from Chengying can also be called electronic fairies."

He Ming opened his palm, and little Chengying flew obediently to his palm and saluted Lin Mingmei openly.

Such a well-behaved appearance immediately made Lin Mingmei's eyes light up and she felt pity for him.

"What a cute little guy! Come, can you come over to me?"

Xiao Chengying turned around and looked at He Ming. When he saw that He Ming did not object, he flapped his wings and flew into Lin Mingmei's palm.

“So sensible!”

Xiao Chengying's look made Lin Mingmei like him even more.

Unexpectedly, a little mermaid flapped its tail and flew to Lin Mingmei's hand, holding Lin Mingmei's thumb and shaking it repeatedly to express her dissatisfaction.

"Ah! Good, good, good! Xiaoya is also very sensible! Mommy likes Xiaoya, too!"

Holding the two cute little ones in her hands, Lin Mingmei's heart melted.

Especially since one of them is lively and the other is well-behaved, Lin Mingmei likes them very much.

"Yeah, that's right. Let's call her Xiaoying! It sounds better that way."

Lin Mingmei said suddenly while teasing the two little guys.

"Yes! You have the final say!"

Can He Ming still deny it?
He could only nod his head repeatedly.

"Hmph! Princess Tina and the Imperial Prime Minister will be here in person later! Sarah will accompany you to the meeting." Lin Mingmei suddenly snorted coldly, and after giving an order, she took the two little guys on board the MACROSS King Kong to find King Kong.

Looking at Lin Mingmei's leaving back, He Ming secretly felt lucky.

Fortunately, there was Xiao Chengying. No, it was Xiaoying who attracted the fire, otherwise he would be in trouble.

"How lucky you are, sir."

Saramantini said with a half-smile.

"Don't! Sarah, did you tell Princess Angelique about our fierce battle with Embrio?"

He Ming waved his hands quickly, then stared into Salamantini's eyes and said.

"No! No! Oh, that's right! Ms. Lacus and Angelique are visiting the Nadeshiko, and everything is basically going according to the forecaster's plan. Captain Asuka Yuto also intends to join our team after completing the commission with the Ax Empire. But the price is to help the Nadeshiko and them return to their original world as soon as possible."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Salamantini immediately changed the subject.

"Oh? Really? Then, where is Hoshino Ruri?"

He Ming looked at Salamantini who was trying to change the subject, but did not expose her and continued asking.

Saramantini smiled softly.

"With Xiaoya here, there will be no problem. And now that we have Xiaoying, I believe Xiao Liuli will soon realize how good we are to her. But, sir, why do you care so much about Xiao Liuli?"

"Hmm? Didn't you see that?"

He Ming asked back meaningfully.

Salamantini was silent for a moment.

indeed.

As a being born through genetic adjustment and who has evolved again through it, Salamantini is not unfamiliar with similar beings like Hoshino Ruri. Instead, she recognized Hoshino Ruri's origins at first sight.

"Like Lacus, Ruri Hoshino was born through gene modification technology, but she was not as lucky as Lacus to have a family that loved her. Her childhood was spent in a closed and mechanized environment that lacked real human emotions. In this environment, she lost the joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness that humans should have."

After He Ming finished speaking, he looked at Salamantini.

He believed that during this period of contact, Salamantini had already learned about Hoshino Ruri's past, and had seen the current changes in Hoshino Ruri with Xiaoya's intervention.

"Indeed. Little Liuli's past was not the childhood that a human child should have. Moreover, I can see that Little Liuli seems to care about Xiaoya very much. Every time she sees Xiaoya visiting the Fuzi, Little Liuli always looks happy."

"That's it. Compared to staying on the Nadeshiko and continuing to be controlled by Nilga, it's better for her to stay with us and let Hoshino Ruri be free and grow up happily!"

He Ming laughed.

"Isn't it just a little Liuli who has undergone genetic modification? Would our family be short of this?"

Although He Ming's expression was a little arrogant, Salamantini couldn't help but smile.

Yes!

It's just a small revelation resulting from a mere genetic adjustment!

Among the dragon clan alone, there are tens of thousands of people who have had similar experiences.

Therefore, on He Ming's side, Hoshino Ruri is by no means an outlier, but rather the most normal one.

When it comes to abnormality, is there anyone who can compare to the members of the dragon clan who can transform into giant dragons at any time?

Thinking of this, Salamantini understood why He Ming asked Xiaoya to build a good relationship with Hoshino Ruri.
