Rosette's gaze remained fixed on Maggie, seemingly indifferent to everything in the Mermaid King's City, or perhaps he had already grown accustomed to it.
The two strolled along the street, slowly moving towards the Tower of Symbols, without displaying any aggression.
Maggie was captivated by the dazzling array of goods, from fist-sized pearls to precious red corals, she couldn't take her eyes off them. Unfortunately, she couldn't remember anything from her dream after waking up.
She's not stupid. With so many dreams like this, she certainly wouldn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on. But dreams leave no trace, so she can't give herself any hints or warnings when she wakes up. She can only temporarily follow the established path.
At least for now, it hasn't had a bad impact on her, so Maggie hasn't thought of resisting.
"Did you enjoy your stay?"
Maggie was still marveling at the prosperity of the Mermaid Kingdom when she suddenly heard Rosette ask a slightly hesitant question.
She turned her head and looked at the future sea god with some surprise.
"I quite like it, what's wrong?"
Maggie thought for a moment and then gave a genuine smile.
Actually, she is a person who loves adventure. If her family had been better off, she would definitely be someone who loves to travel. During college, she tried several times to save money to go out and see the beautiful landscapes of the world.
Although she ultimately failed for various reasons, she still looked forward to a different world.
Although life after her transmigration was fraught with danger, it also allowed her to see many different landscapes and races, like a dreamlike journey, and she tried her best to enjoy life every moment.
Because she couldn't predict whether this would be the last second of her life.
Rosette's deep, ocean-like eyes reflected the girl's smiling face. He was lost in thought for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and simply replied with a soft voice.
"Has your future self never been here?"
His question wasn't particularly sensitive, and given the relaxed atmosphere, Maggie didn't resist answering.
"I am human, how could I possibly enter your mermaid territory?"
Maggie tiptoed closer to Rosette's ear fins and whispered.
She was cautious, afraid of being overheard, and subconsciously adopted the posture she used when gossiping with her classmates. However, she forgot to consider that Rosette was a mermaid, and her ear fins were a very sensitive part of her body.
Although you can't feel the air currents in the water, human body temperature is much higher than that of mermaids. When two people get close to each other, the heat transfer through the water becomes more noticeable.
Rosette's ear fins turned a little redder, almost imperceptibly.
The future sea god unconsciously stepped back a little, his gaze towards Maggie carrying a subtle, indescribable quality.
"?"
Maggie sensed the mermaid was moving away from her, and something strange popped into her head—a big question mark.
Perhaps sensing Maggie's confusion, Rosette didn't explain, but instead pretended to clear her throat, deliberately ignoring his reaction.
"Ahem, do you want to play a little longer today?"
Rosette's words surprised Maggie. She looked the mermaid up and down, unsure whether he was being polite or serious. Wasn't he worried that the higher-ups of the mermaids would be wary of him?
Why would you take the risk of letting her wander around the city a bit more?
That's really strange.
Could it be that he wants to repay her for her help?
Maggie thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. Rosette's face didn't show anything either; he always kept his emotions well hidden. Maggie had no choice but to give up.
"Don't misunderstand, it's just... judging from your clothes, you must be a noblewoman among humans. I've heard that noblewomen among humans are not allowed to go out, so this may be one of your few opportunities."
Rosset seems to be very bad at explaining things; he never informs anyone of the decisions he makes, nor does he explain the reasons behind them.
He has always been confident in himself, and every plan he undertakes can be executed smoothly without needing to say a word to others, or even his partners.
Such people are suitable to be leaders in a team. A leader who makes no mistakes and arranges everything in an orderly manner will definitely be liked by most believers.
But perhaps because of Maggie's previous attitude, he still chose to answer Maggie's questions.
"Hmm? Not entirely..."
Maggie was both amused and exasperated. It turned out that her attire had caused the misunderstanding. Although the saint's robes looked simple and clean, the material was indeed top-notch.
Since the God of Light has not yet become a god, there is no concept of a Holy Maiden of Light. It is normal for Rosette not to know her and to misunderstand her.
If we follow common sense, Rosette would most likely not make a mistake, but unfortunately she encountered an anomaly who defied common sense in every aspect.
"However, if possible, I'd like to take a closer look."
Although Maggie denied Rosette's guess, she actually liked the place very much and would not have missed the opportunity if given the chance. It would be hypocritical to refuse against her own will.
If she can't even do whatever she wants in her dreams, then her life is too tiring.
Although... I won't remember it when I wake up, at least it makes me happy now.
"good."
Rosette nodded, the red on her ear fins had faded, and she had returned to her calm and serene state.
Perhaps because they had more time, Maggie and Rosette no longer had a strong sense of purpose, and their directions were not fixed. Sometimes they would go into alleys, and sometimes they would walk into the Mermaid Pool.
Below, there are huge bubbles that simulate the scene of the sea and the shore, filled with plenty of oxygen, allowing some mermaids who have never been to land to experience the outside world.
However, Maggie found this scene quite peculiar, as both mermaids and humans yearn to understand unreachable realms.
Modern humans also build aquariums, underwater tunnels, and other similar structures to satisfy their curiosity about the unknown.
Looking at it from a different perspective offers a completely new experience.
Maggie is like a little cat that explores everything. Whenever she sees an interesting shop or building, she will eagerly go over to it, even if it means squeezing through a bunch of mermaids to get in.
Rosette stood quietly to the side, waiting for Maggie to appear, completely satisfied.
My eyes followed Maggie's figure; I knew I couldn't mistake her for someone else.
Because she is so special and dazzling, she is impossible to ignore, and you will be completely attracted to her, with no other mermaid in sight.
Where no one could see her, Rosette gently pressed her hand to her chest, where she felt a heart beating, much faster than before.
Although he had lost his heart a long time ago, he could still clearly feel the difference between the two.
"Are you really not... a partner?"
Rosette lowered her head, her voice low, filled with uncertainty, yet also concealing a hint of inexplicable anticipation.
