Shui Yiyao couldn't refuse such a kind offer, so after expressing her gratitude, she accepted the giant clams from the jellyfish tribe.
After Chief Mo helped move the giant clams into the gate of the holy land, he exchanged some polite words with the great elder, and then said goodbye.
After seeing off Chief Mo, the Great Elder came back and stood at the door, looking at the huge giant clam placed on the inside of the gate with a complicated expression.
Anyone who sees such a large jade giant clam would say "dignified". This is the dignity that the princess has earned herself. She didn't rely on anyone else, but on herself.
He had also been worried that the eldest princess would go astray and rely on men for her beauty. She was simple-minded and might be deceived by men.
But no, she relied on her own abilities.
The Great Elder stood on the gate steps, looking at Shui Yiyao standing at the bottom. She was talking to Bai Gege, the royal bloodline of the White Whale Clan. Bai Gege pressed the jewel box in her hand into the hands of the Great Princess, asking her to accept it.
"Here, use whichever you like. It's best to use both together."
Shui Yiyao smiled and took the gift box: "Then I won't be polite with you."
She held the gift box and thanked him, "Thank you, the gems are really beautiful."
Bai Gege smiled, but then suddenly pretended to be worried, looking at the large number of gift boxes behind her: "I originally thought it was beautiful, but compared to this... Well, I'm glad you don't mind."
What's left are the gift boxes from the Sea Nation Alliance and Ao Li.
Most of the boxes were filled with beautiful gems of various colors, sparkling brightly.
Shui Yiyao said, "No, I really like the gift you gave me."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Ao Li and hesitated for a moment: "Dean Ao, you have too much of this."
I gave you so much, how can I pay you back in the future?
Ao Li: "No need to return it."
He knew what she was thinking. He also knew that if he said he wouldn't return it, she wouldn't really mean it.
So what he gave was not much, otherwise, he would have moved all his property here.
"Is it because of blood?" Suddenly, Gao Buna, a member of the nearby sea turtle tribe, looked at Ao Li and asked aloud. Her voice was hurried and a little off-key due to nervousness. She looked at Ao Li, but after asking aloud, her face immediately flushed and she lowered her head: "I, my friend, Hai Tiantian, said that it's because of blood... Mermaid blood is special..."
"Disrespectful!" The diplomat Ao Cheng next to her frowned and interrupted her.
What? Not to mention that the leader had no such dirty intentions, even if it was true, it had nothing to do with her, and it was not her turn to question him in public.
The Third Auntie also became anxious. She pulled Gao Buna behind her and slapped her on the shoulder: "What nonsense are you talking about! Shut up!"
This kid is really spoiled, he speaks without considering the occasion. And Hai Tiantian is the same, what a person, she has corrupted her granddaughter.
Shui Yiyao was so angry that she laughed. She sneered and stared at Gao Buna, her tone full of dissatisfaction: "Hai Tiantian still has the nerve to say that? Didn't I tell her that she is a villain and she shouldn't treat others as villains. Who are you insulting here?"
Ao Li is not such a person. Just thinking like this is disrespectful to him, and saying it openly shows that they don't take him seriously.
"Oh, right." Shui Yiyao suddenly looked at the Great Elder and said, "I forgot to mention it. I did some experimental research at Chief Ao's research institute and developed a drug that changes genes."
The Great Elder looked at Shui Yiyao, not understanding why she suddenly brought this up. What did Gao Buna’s words have to do with anything?
Shui Yiyao's angry tone suddenly calmed down, and she said in a deep voice, "After the experiment is successful, our mermaid bloodline will be even more special. No matter who the subject is, only mermaids will be born."
The Great Elder was stunned when he heard this, his eyes widened: "What?!"
Shui Yiyao repeated herself tirelessly, "I invested in a research project that allowed mermaids to only reproduce mermaids."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present stared at her, most of them in disbelief.
Mermaids can only reproduce mermaids?
The third aunt of the sea turtle tribe changed her tone and trembled a little: "Ridiculous..."
Mermaids have always been blood purifiers and can only reproduce the ancestral bloodlines of other races.
If mermaids can only give birth to mermaids... then who would marry a mermaid? Ridiculous! Absurd!
The Great Elder pressed on, "Is it true?"
Shui Yiyao: "Of course it's true. It cost a lot of money. Much more than five air purifiers."
Ao Li nodded: "The experiment is 80% complete, almost successful."
With Ao Li's agreement, this matter is basically confirmed.
Everyone in the Sea Tribe knew that Ao Li had a research institute that could alter a person's bloodline properties. Originally, only atavistic bloodlines could reach the shore, but through Ao Li's research, ordinary bloodlines could also reach the shore. This was a real thing, and they all knew it.
Therefore, it seems not impossible that Ao Li can make the mermaids change and alter their special bloodline.
Shui Yiyao said this deliberately at this time.
Ao Li is present, which is the best situation.
She altered the mermaids' genes; this kind of thing should have been made known to the public earlier. This way, when others set their sights on the mermaids, they would at least consider it.
When the medicine comes out and is used, and the mermaids and other tribes actually give birth to mermaids, by that time, no one will have any ideas about targeting mermaids anymore.
Now it's just publicity.
The Third Aunt and Gao Buna both speak without thinking, and they will definitely spread the news everywhere.
And now that Ao Li is here, their rumors will only become more exciting.
In less than two days, the entire sea tribe would know that the mermaid princess was conducting genetic experiments, and that mermaids could only reproduce mermaids. And Ao Li was there to guarantee it.
The Great Elder stared, still in disbelief.
If, if what the princess said was true, then... the problem that had plagued the mermaids for thousands of years had finally been solved! They no longer needed to rely on the protection of other tribes... they had solved it themselves. And it was a fundamental solution, a fundamental solution to the root cause.
The princess solved it.
Chief Ao also said that the experiment has been carried out to 80%.
The princess never told him anything and just did it silently by herself.
The third aunt beside her continued to stare at Shui Yiyao without blinking, and kept repeating: "Ridiculous... Ridiculous..."
Shui Yiyao looked at her and couldn't help but said, "Whether it's ridiculous or not is none of your business. Who do you think you are?"
Back in the hall, she'd already been annoyed by their nonsense, but for the sake of the Great Elder, she'd held back. But now, she couldn't stand it anymore. Was it ridiculous? Marrying mermaids as reproductive machines wasn't ridiculous, but for her to experiment and alter their genes was.
"Our mermaid clan's internal affairs are none of your business. Shut up."
Third aunt: "..."
After hearing Shui Yiyao's words, her face turned pale, but she couldn't utter a word. This was indeed an internal matter of the mermaid tribe. Although it sounded absurd and outrageous, it had nothing to do with her.
Ao Li looked at Gao Buna and said, "I pursued the eldest princess because she is outstanding, not because she is a mermaid. If it was just because she is a mermaid, I would not have acquiesced when the mermaid elder announced the cancellation of the engagement."
"So, I pursued her because she was her."
"It has nothing to do with blood, and nothing to do with mermaids."
Gao Buna: "...I understand."
She was stunned for a moment and lowered her head. She had originally believed what Hai Tiantian said. Hai Tiantian said that Ao Li had a place for her in his heart, but because Shui Yiyao could give birth to a black dragon, Ao Li gave up Hai Tiantian and chose Shui Yiyao for the continuation of his bloodline.
This reason seemed normal, so she believed it.
But now, the original trust has collapsed completely.
Shui Yiyao was angry at first, saying that Ao Li was not a villain, instead of doubting Ao Li's sincerity towards her.
Again, it was Ao Li’s public confession that was a pursuit, not a calculation.
She felt that what Ao Li said was the truth. Hai Tiantian... Hai Tiantian, that mean person, must have lied to her.
Gao Buna was a little ashamed: "I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean it."
She really thought that the truth was what Hai Tiantian said, but now anyone with eyes can see the truth in this scene.
At least, Ao Li really cares about Shui Yiyao.
Shui Yiyao: "It's useless whether you apologize or not. I have nothing to do with you here anymore. You can leave now."
She started to attack people directly.
It was estimated that these three people didn't want to stay anymore, so after Shui Yiyao ordered them to leave, they immediately left in shame.
Shui Yiyao looked at the backs of the three people, still a little angry: "What the hell. What are you talking about."
Ao Li instead advised her: "Don't be angry."
He said, "When you have time, I'll take you to find a place."
Hearing him say this, Shui Yiyao nodded: "Let's go to the bull shark's territory and knock out Hai Tiantian's teeth so that she won't talk nonsense."
Ao Li nodded: "Okay."
Shui Yiyao calmed down after hearing his straightforward answer and shook her head, "Forget it, forget it. If I have that much time, I might as well make a few extra cents. I still owe money for my experiments."
The Great Elder suddenly said, "Grand Princess, can I, can I help you in any way? Do you need to test any medicine? Is there any danger?"
"Princess, I want to help..."
Shui Yiyao shook her head: "There's nothing I can do to help you right now. If you need anything, I'll tell you, Great Elder."
The Great Elder was silent, but his eyes were red.
The eldest princess has really changed.
In the past, she was extremely spoiled and would cry for a long time if she was wronged. If Third Auntie scolded her for being ridiculous, like she did today, she might cry. But today, she didn't. Instead, she scolded Third Auntie.
Is it because he has developed a bad temper by fighting alone in the world?
Compared to being delicate and cute before, he felt that this might be better now. At least, it was more suitable for leading their mermaid tribe.
However, their eldest princess is obviously still young, having only just turned 24.
How come I seem to have grown up all of a sudden?
Shui Yiyao was stunned by the expression on the elder's face. She thought about what she had said before, and then said, "Elder, I don't owe a lot of money. It's not as serious as you think. Don't cry."
The Great Elder: “…”
