——A two-meter-high golden mermaid statue.
And this is carved exactly according to the appearance of Haizhen.
The corners of Haizhen's lips twitched slightly, and he almost lost control of his expression.
The red-haired boy asked expectantly, "Aunt, this is a golden statue I had my father draw your portrait and then had a sculptor make specifically for you. Do you like it?"
“…I like it.” Hai Zhen said with a smile.
When Shura's friends saw this, they couldn't help laughing, but they were a little worried about Zhuge Youlin.
To Zhuge Youlin, gold was extremely valuable; even the Great Desolate Pearl was not as valuable as gold. However, Hai Zhen might not like this gift.
Jiang Xianyue saw her mother's emotions. She reached out and pulled Zhuge Youlin's sleeve to stop him from speaking.
Zhuge Youlin was about to speak when he suddenly felt the movement of someone behind him. He turned around and met Jiang Xianyue's warning eyes.
Zhuge Youlin immediately shut his mouth.
Then he just smiled at Haizhen.
Shura and his companions also presented Hai Zhen with a gift.
Hai Zhen smiled with an elegant demeanor, "You are so polite, please come and sit down."
At this time, Zhuge Youlin and others also noticed the young and handsome male mermaids in the hall.
Several male mermaids raised their hands to their chests, performed the sea clan salute towards them, and nodded with a smile.
"You guys step back." Jiang Xianyue glanced at them indifferently.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Several male mermaids responded respectfully.
Although Zhuge Youlin was stupid, he was keenly aware at this moment that the looks those male mermen gave Jiang Xianyue were quite intriguing.
An inexplicable sense of crisis arose in his heart.
These male mermen like Yueyue? !
Zhuge Youlin's expression changed, and he felt a stuffy feeling in his heart.
He couldn't help but look at Jiang Xianyue.
When the male mermaids left the hall, Shura and his companions also sat down.
They answered whatever Haizhen asked them.
The atmosphere is quite harmonious.
until--
Haizhen said, "Yueyue is getting married soon, and you must come to attend."
"Mother!" Jiang Xianyue's face changed in shock and she interrupted quickly.
The expressions of the Shuras present also changed, and they subconsciously looked at Zhuge Youlin and Jiang Xianyue.
Zhuge Youlin was suddenly stunned and his face gradually turned pale.
"Aunt, what do you mean?" His voice trembled a little.
Hai Zhen showed a helpless expression, looked at the somewhat angry Jiang Xianyue, and then sighed softly: "Yueyue is shy and didn't feel comfortable telling you, so I won't say anything."
"Yueyue, are you getting married?" Xiao Zechuan asked Jiang Xianyue directly.
Jiang Xianyue shook her head, "No."
Hai Zhen frowned slightly when he heard Jiang Xianyue's answer, then smiled and said, "We are still in the contact stage."
Jiang Xianyue lowered her eyes.
She could feel their gazes, especially that man's.
Yu Changying could see that Yueyue and her mother didn't have a good relationship, but Yueyue couldn't turn against her. Her smile faded a little and she teased, "Aunt, Yueyue is still young. There's no need to get married so early."
Hai Zhen still smiled and said, "She is not a child anymore. Now she has become the Mermaid King. It is time for her to take on the responsibilities and mission of the Mermaid King."
Yu Changying raised an eyebrow, "What responsibility and mission?"
Hai Zhen glanced at Yu Changying and said, "Of course, it is to strengthen the sea clan and add pure bloodline descendants to the mermaid royal family."
"What does pure-blooded offspring mean?" At this moment, Xiao Zechuan also heard something wrong.
Hai Zhen noticed that their expressions had changed, but she still smiled gently and said, "Of course it's pure mermaid blood."
Wen Yuchu asked politely, "Why does it have to be mermaid blood?"
Hai Zhen said softly, "This is the tradition of our mermaid royal family. It cannot be changed."
Jiang Xianyue suddenly stood up and said, "Do you want to go to the underwater city?"
The eyes that Yu Changying and the others looked at her with had become filled with heartache and pity.
If it weren't for the fact that Haizhen was Yueyue's mother, they might have responded sharply and taken Yueyue away.
So... this is Yueyue’s difficulty.
Perhaps this was the reason why Yueyue was reluctant to talk much about her background during the years they were together.
Zhuge Youlin was completely stunned.
He looked at Jiang Xianyue, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Hai Zhen smiled understandingly and said, "Yueyue, then take your friends to visit the underwater city."
Even after they walked out of the hall, the atmosphere remained oppressive.
Yu Changying reached out and held Jiang Xianyue's hand tightly.
She said, "Yueyue, do you really want to obey your mother's arrangements?"
Wen Yuchu's eyes were complicated as he asked, "Yueyue, you are already so powerful, but you still can't change your fate?"
Jiang Xianyue pursed her lips and forced a smile.
"I have no idea."
She didn't know what to do.
On one side are the expectations of the sea people and her mother, and on the other side is the freedom she wants.
What should she choose?
"Yueyue, are you in trouble?" Zhuge Youlin suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Jiang Xianyue didn't dare turn around to look at him, fearing he would see her helplessness and vulnerability. She only replied calmly, "A little."
"Those male mermaids just now..."
"Maybe one of them will become my fiancé." Jiang Xianyue said calmly.
Zhuge Youlin felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He asked urgently, "Do you like them?"
