"I don't know," Yu Peiyi replied, shaking her head. "His Highness's situation is rather special."
"Mermaid reproduction will only stop automatically if the environment is unsuitable; otherwise..."
After a moment of silence, Helian Jue asked some more questions about the estrus cycle.
"Five to seven days sounds like a long time, but it's not the limit that the body can take."
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much."
Helian Jue was indeed somewhat anxious, and this anxiety had only intensified since Yu Peiyi arrived.
"The merfolk are a very ancient race, born at the same time as humans. Over time, the race has naturally developed its own unique methods to ensure its continuation."
Yu Peiyi glanced at the thoughtful prince, and with some guesses in her mind, she added, "Your Highness, the young prince has his own mission. All we can do is respect the rules and choices, and protect him."
Helian Jue felt embarrassed for a moment because he felt seen through. He really didn't want Xiaoyu to take risks, but would Xiaoyu be willing?
His little fish may seem obedient and delicate, but in reality, it is resilient and brave. It will not shirk any responsibility that it should bear, but will do its best to do it better.
Not to mention, the hopes of the merfolk rest entirely on him, so he will forge ahead without backing down.
To love someone is not to make them a vine that clings to you, but to let them grow freely and independently like a towering tree, standing shoulder to shoulder with you.
"Yes... I was narrow-minded," Helian Jue said with shame.
As the head of the Yu clan, Yu Peiyi was wise and perceptive. She saw the feelings between the two clearly and naturally understood the principle that love breeds sorrow and fear.
After explaining the situation, Yu Peiyi took her leave.
Helian Jue informed Lin Zhong and Linke to return to the capital planet as soon as possible. He needed to accompany Xiaoyu through her heat cycle, and all matters in the Eastern Palace needed to be managed by someone. Only the two of them were suitable.
Preparations also need to be made inside the villa, which, according to Yu Peiyi, should be completed in the next few days.
After Helian Jue had arranged all the preliminary preparations, Qiao You called.
After the call connected, a voice filled with resentment and grievance came through: "Brother, do you only like holding meetings? Have you forgotten about Xiaoyu?"
"Brother, your baby is still on the sofa."
Helian Jue couldn't help but laugh out loud, "How could brother forget Baby Fish?"
"Brother is here, baby, wait one more minute."
The two tacitly agreed not to hang up, as if just listening to each other's breathing was enough.
Helian Jue went downstairs, and Qiao You leaned on the back of the sofa, staring at the direction of the stairs, his gaze following Helian Jue's movements.
"Brother, you're bad." Qiao You accused (acted coquettishly) face to face, becoming even bolder and more intimate, "You finished the meeting a long time ago, and then you hid upstairs by yourself."
"They don't care about the little fish."
"Brother, I am your only baby."
...
Helian Jue watched Qiao You chattering away, his eyes lingering on her lips for several seconds before bending down and kissing her.
It's the feeling I've always remembered: soft, sweet, and irresistible.
A few minutes later, Helian Jue finally released Qiao You, whose little face was already flushed.
“Baby has wronged your brother, this is punishment.” Helian Jue’s voice was hoarse with passion and desire.
Qiao You looked at Helian Jue with a somewhat bewildered expression, her eyes filled with innocence and allure, leaving Helian Jue completely bewildered...
Then the next sentence amplified Helian Jue's desires to an extreme degree, almost causing him to lose control.
"Brother, so this is punishment~" Qiao You was pleasantly surprised. Punishment means kisses? Then let's do it a few more times~ Hehe!
"I wronged you, brother. The punishment was too lenient. You need to do the most intimate things for the punishment to be considered adequate."
Helian Jue was stunned, frozen in place like a stone statue.
"Brother, please?" Qiao You looked at Helian Jue with longing. He was so happy last time, so why didn't he come back after that?
Helian Jue regained his senses and tried to reason with him, "Baby, you're about to go into heat, we can't..."
These next few days won't work; their estrus cycle lasts a long time, and there's no need for them to waste their energy now.
Qiao You stepped out of Helian Jue's embrace, leaned back proudly on the sofa, and looked Helian Jue up and down with a disdainful gaze. Her red lips parted slightly, "Brother, are you impotent?"
Hmph! He didn't read all that information for nothing; didn't it all say that the worst thing for a man is for his lover to say he's no good?
The cunning little fish is waiting for his older brother to devour him completely!
But to Qiao You's surprise, Helian Jue actually laughed, and it was a very hearty laugh.
“Baby, reverse psychology won’t work on your brother,” Helian Jue said bluntly. “It’s not working now, baby, be good.”
When his scheme was exposed, Qiao You really wanted to completely cheat and become a rogue... but his brother was doing it for his own good.
Qiao You also wanted to pretend to be angry and ignore his brother tonight, but he couldn't bear to be angry with his brother...
"Brother, you're so annoying!"
Qiao You threw herself into Helian Jue's arms. Yes, how annoying her brother was! He couldn't bear to be angry with him...
Waaaaaah, poor little fish!
Helian Jue stiffly hugged Xiaoyu into his arms. He wanted to do the same, but it was impossible now.
Qiao You angrily tugged at the shirt button in Helian Jue's arms, but not having enough strength in his hands, he resorted to biting it.
He couldn't bear to bite his brother, but he could at least bite his clothes to vent his frustration.
