Chapter 275
The girl was exquisitely beautiful, with a gentle and graceful demeanor. Her faint smile carried a hint of aloofness and indifference, like a snow lotus blooming on a cliff face—cool, elegant, and unattainable.
Her beauty and charm were unparalleled even in the mermaid kingdom, which was known for its beauty.
The mermaids who had previously been so disgusted with the emperor for wanting an ordinary human girl instead of a beautiful female mermaid now felt like they had been slapped in the face.
However, the mermaids were actually quite uneasy about saying that Wen Xin was unremarkable.
What ordinary girl could pilot a mecha all by herself and drive them all over the interstellar space?
If it weren't for Bai Ruiwen's quick reaction, allowing them to activate the defense system in advance, their spaceship might have been sunk in interstellar space by a single gamma ray.
Such a powerful mecha warrior is an absolute standout even in the Mermaid Empire. Who would dare to call her ordinary?
Just before, the merfolk could only guess that a woman with such powerful mental strength and mecha combat abilities must be an ugly, burly, and muscular woman, but...
She's beautiful and talented!
The mermaids felt their faces hurt even more!
It turns out the emperor's taste wasn't peculiar, but rather that his standards were exceptionally high!
The mermaids, who had initially hoped to bring the emperor back to the right path, were starting to despair.
However, even if the emperor insists on marrying a human girl as his empress, surely it wouldn't be a problem to choose a few mermaid girls as his concubines?
As long as the emperor is willing to have a beautiful merman child with a female mermaid, they are willing to compromise and let a human become their queen.
If Bo Xu knew what they were thinking, he would definitely tear them all to pieces on the spot!
Should we force them to compromise?
Ha, what can they do if they don't compromise?
They really think they're something special!
The merfolk weren't so brainless as to point fingers and chatter in front of the couple.
Okay, they wouldn't dare!
When the mermaids saw Bo Xu, they were like mice seeing a cat, each one as docile as a quail.
The Second Elder smiled, his face crinkling with kindness. "This must be Her Majesty the Empress?"
"We come from the Mermaid Empire to congratulate the Emperor and Empress on their wedding."
The mermaid secretary in a suit then presented a gift list.
Bo Xu glanced at Fan Yi indifferently and let him take the bait.
Bo Xu welcomes anyone who comes to congratulate him and his beloved wife on their marriage.
But if you dare to cause him trouble, don't blame him for being ruthless.
Wen Xin nestled beside Bo Xu, smiling elegantly and calmly, without uttering a word throughout.
However, her gaze fell on the group of young and beautiful female mermaids behind her, and the corners of her eyes casually lifted.
It seems that no matter how highly developed a civilization is, as long as it has enough power and influence, the law is just a decoration.
If Bo Xu, as the Mermaid King, were to establish a harem if he so desired, the entire Mermaid Empire would only voice its approval.
They wished that Boxu would have more female mermaids to pass on his powerful genes, helping their mermaid race evolve and enabling them to study the realm of divine civilization more quickly.
Perhaps in a few hundred or a thousand years, their mermaid race will be able to fully enter that legendary highest-dimensional civilization.
Just thinking about it makes the merman leaders incredibly excited!
Unfortunately, their plans were far from successful; Bo Xu simply wouldn't cooperate at all.
The key point is that the Mermaid Empire cannot control him, and is even subject to his control in every way.
This is the most damn awesome!
When forceful methods failed, the merfolk had no choice but to resort to appeasement and emotional appeals.
Wen Xin easily guessed the mermaids' plan, and a hint of coldness appeared in her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
Breaking up someone else's marriage is a crime punishable by divine retribution!
However, Bai Ruiwen frowned, his gaze towards Wen Xin filled with worry.
He had been sailing with this group of mermaids for nearly a month, how could he not guess what they were up to?
He simply found it completely incomprehensible.
Apart from the Zerg, all advanced civilizations adhere to a monogamous system.
Even if King Abel of their empire had many mistresses in private, he only had Queen Martha as his official wife. Moreover, those mistresses could never be seen in public, otherwise he would be attacked and forced to step down by the people.
But these mermaids are really outrageous. They openly want to build a harem for the mermaid king, and they don't seem to think there's anything wrong with it at all.
What happened to the high status of female mermaids in their empire?
They're treating the Mermaid King and all the female mermaids like breeding machines, aren't they?
Bai Ruiwen wondered if the merman's higher-ups had a biased and twisted mentality.
He was unaware of how terrifying the allure of the divine realm was to the merfolk, for which they were willing to pay any price.
Otherwise, how could Perseus have been born into this world?
The second elders, though full of foolish ideas, still smiled politely and flattered Bo Xu and Wen Xin.
How could Bo Xu not hear the insincerity in their words?
Whether they approve of his engagement with Ah Xin or not is none of his business.
They dared not speak out, nor did they have the courage to object.
If he really angers Bo Xu, even if he doesn't resolve the issue through bloodshed, he can simply take the mermaid main system and marry into his beloved wife's human civilization, or even start a new one.
Then, let's see if those mermaids will cry themselves silly.
Bo Xu waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, we've received your congratulations. If there's nothing else, get lost!"
The Second Elder and the others: "..."
"Your Majesty, it has been many years. We would like to report to you on the current situation of the Mermaid Empire."
The mermaids were not willing to leave now.
If we leave this time, who knows when we'll be able to find this incredibly capricious emperor again?
Bo Xu, showing them no respect, said, "Do you think I need you to report on the situation of the Mermaid Empire?"
The fish were all speechless.
Oh, right, the Mermaid King controls the main system of the Mermaid Civilization. He can check anything he wants to know at any time. Why would he need them to tell him?
But isn't that just an excuse?
Can't the Emperor give them some face?
"Your Majesty..."
Bo Xu swept his cold gaze over them, and the group of mermaids immediately shut up.
Wen Xin smiled and said to Bo Xu, "They are all guests who have come from afar and must be tired from their journey. Let them stay and rest for a few days."
When his beloved wife spoke, Bo Xu naturally obeyed, but he forbade them from approaching the island at will.
They were all mermaids, and the sea was the most suitable place for them to live.
Wen Xin did not say anything more about this.
Besides, she didn't really treat the mermaids as guests.
Who would treat a heartless woman who tries to force a concubine onto her husband with courtesy?
Wen Xin kept them around to see what tricks they would pull next.
The best solution would be to resolve the issue once and for all. She had no interest in playing endless palace intrigue with these mermaids; she wasn't just wasting her time.
