"Qin Mo, today... I've actually come to say goodbye. I'm going with Aunt Audrey to her secluded place, and we won't be able to see each other for a long time to come..."
"Cough cough cough!"
Shia had only said a few words when Audrey coughed beside her to remind her to be mindful of her image.
Qin Mo's face turned cold, and his aura began to rise. He now suspected that his little Xia was being controlled and manipulated by that old spinster, Audrey.
Without hesitation, Audrey mobilized the dense moisture in the hall to meet Qin Mo's challenge.
An ancient and powerful aura enveloped the entire hall, suppressing Audrey and Qin Mo, and then silently dissipating their imposing presence.
Qin Mo stared in shock at the source of the aura. Xiao Xiya on the white jade throne still had the face of a beautiful middle school girl, but as her aura changed, a dignified and noble temperament emerged from her slender body, making people dare not look directly at her.
"Shia...you...are you...attacking...me?"
Qin Mo's voice was muffled, defiant, and somewhat embarrassed and angry.
"I...no...our people are few left, I don't want anyone to get hurt...including you..."
Shia was left flustered by Qin Mo's words, her queenly demeanor vanished, and she became a little girl torn between her family and her lover.
"Shia, you should have the dignity of a strong person. You now represent our royal family. You do not belong to anyone, nor do you need to care about anyone, including me!"
Audrey looked at Shia with disappointment and frustration, but she no longer dared to reprimand Shia as she had yesterday. Shia's strength no longer allowed her to be too harsh on her.
"I...I...I just don't want my family to be at odds..."
Shia lowered her head and murmured softly. The silver crown on her head was very heavy, making the little beauty feel very uncomfortable.
Qin Mo smiled. Xia was still the same Xia. Even if she became stronger, she was still the same stubborn but kind-hearted little maid.
"Your Highness Princess Shia, your husband Qin Mo extends his heartfelt blessings and greetings to you!"
Qin Mo placed one hand on her chest and gave a Western-style greeting, showing respect to all the mermaids present.
"Yes, yes! Your wife, Shia Qin, also expresses her deepest apologies to you."
Shia jumped off the throne and excitedly came to Qin Mo, smoothing her skirt and performing a Western Continent courtly salute. Everything became so harmonious and tacit.
Qin Mo reached out her hand, and Xia instinctively leaned her head out so that Qin Mo could stroke her golden hair.
"If anything happens, write to the Bactrian envoy's residence in Rome to contact me! Remember to learn to protect yourself, don't be reckless in dangerous situations, and if all else fails, go to Daguan to find Allen, understand?"
"Oh, don't worry! Qin Mo, I'll make a trip to Da Yuan sooner or later. I'm going to have a fight with Narita Kai and show her who's the boss."
Little Shia brandished her tiny fist, sending a chill down Qin Mo's spine. This child was traumatized by Kaihime; her obsession runs deep!
"We're all family, sparring is fine, but no hurting anyone!" Qin Mo quickly announced a family rule, otherwise things would get chaotic.
"When you go to the temple, be careful. Don't mess with those powerful families, and don't be arrogant or competitive... You're still too weak... Waaah!"
Shia began to give Qin Mo instructions little by little, and then started sobbing again at the end.
Qin Mo felt a little stifled, being looked down upon for being too weak by his little wife... it was truly a blow to his pride. He gently pulled Xia into his arms, letting her lean on his shoulder and sob softly.
Shea cried for a long time before she calmed down. She gently pushed Qin Mo away, and two large teardrops slid down her face and gathered together to form a pearl-like droplet, with a misty, deep blue color, just like Shea's eyes.
Shia plucked a small strand of golden hair from her head and passed it through the water droplet. The surface of the droplet solidified like glass.
Shia placed the special necklace around Qin Mo's neck and said fiercely, "This is Shia Qin's mark. You are now mine. Anyone who dares to seduce you again will be my enemy, to the death!"
