Her eyes were slightly determined. She would never abandon her responsibilities to the empire just to stroke a beautiful fish tail and listen to sweet songs every day.

Of course, she couldn't send the imperial army to the Starry Sea to capture Liuge and deprive him of his freedom.

Liking someone doesn’t necessarily mean being selfish and possessive.

Shen Shuyi could see that her daughter really liked the mermaid, so she spoke softly, “Paula, you have always been great, and the empire is getting better and better under your governance. You can pursue your own happiness without worry.”

"At least, let him know that you like him."

She knew her daughter quite well. Paula's personality was a bit like her father. Like Xavier, she was reserved and introverted, and sometimes she would keep her love to herself.

As expected, Paula was stunned when she heard this. She seemed to have never told Liuge that she liked him, and she had never even danced with him.

Paula was upset. After ending the video call with her parents, she hurried to the Congress Hall. Next, she would apply for a week's vacation and take a spaceship to the Starry Sea, to Liuge's hometown.

She wanted to tell the beautiful mermaid her feelings, and no matter what the outcome, she didn't want to have any regrets.

As soon as Shen Shuyi hung up the call, Xavier picked her up and said, “Paula has a choice for the queen?”

"Well, I hope Paula is happy."

"I heard that the mermaids' hometown is in the Starry Sea. Why don't we go to the Starry Sea as our next stop?"

“Okay, I want to personally test whether the mermaid is reliable.” Xavier narrowed his eyes slightly, carried her into the hot spring, and the next moment Shen Shuyi was kissed by him.

Shen Shuyi looked at him and suddenly asked curiously, "Hubby, except for the tail and ears...what do the rest of your animal form look like?"

Xavier's eyes darkened.
