The mermaid guards were so frightened they didn't dare breathe. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only Rosette's shouts echoing in their ears.
Bai Xi's expression was complicated. In terms of strength, she could actually just capture the person, but if it was about building the Angel Temple and the craftsmen didn't cooperate, then the mission couldn't be completed.
After a while, fearing that Bai Xi would really get angry, the mermaid guard could only knock on the door made of seashells again under pressure.
The shouting of 'Rosette' inside seemed to come to an abrupt halt. After a few seconds of silence, Bai Xi felt the water rushing across her face. The door was violently flung open, and 'Rosette's' face appeared before Bai Xi.
They were very close, with mermaid guards standing on the other side.
"I told you! I won't..."
The mermaid guards looked pale and almost huddled together, trembling, bracing themselves for the savior's wrath caused by the little prince. But when Rosette opened the door, the words she was about to say stuck in her throat.
He stared blankly at Bai Xi, as if he were frozen in place.
The mermaid guard beside him could hardly contain his joy, even a sense of relief.
It seems the little prince has recognized the savior's identity and no longer dares to speak recklessly. Finally, the little prince has learned to consider the well-being of his people and has grown up.
However, to his utter surprise, after staring blankly at Bai Xi for several tens of seconds, 'Rosette's' cheeks and ear fins suddenly turned bright red, and she even took two steps back in embarrassment. The mermaid guard felt a sense of foreboding and was about to pull his little prince back when he heard him say something.
"Hello, I am a prince of the merfolk. I am very powerful. May I ask you to be my mate?"
His eyes, as deep as the ocean, were filled with anticipation. A mermaid would say this when she wanted the consent of the person she liked.
However, most merfolk wouldn't be so presumptuous; they would at least have some time for something like dating.
It's just that Rosette has been spoiled rotten since birth, and he thinks he is the most powerful mermaid in the world. However, he does have the right to be proud. In fact, if we were to rank them by strength, his current strength should be close to that of the Mermaid King, or perhaps even surpass it.
That's why she made those startling remarks after seeing Bai Xi.
The merman guards were stunned into silence, realizing that something terrible was about to happen. It wasn't just them who would die; other races in the deep sea besides the merman race might also be targeted by the savior.
After listening to his speech, Bai Xi inexplicably fell silent.
She didn't answer 'Rosette,' her mind racing with existential questions.
What kind of ill-fated relationship is this? After all, it seems the current sea god also has feelings for her...
"Can't....."
Finally, under Rosette's sparkling eyes, she refused in an eerily calm tone.
Rosette seemed to have never expected to be rejected. In an instant, she showed an expression of almost devastating sadness, and her eyes and rims immediately turned red, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"I...I really like you."
He had always thought that the people around him were idiots, so he looked down on both male and female mermaids. When he finally found someone who made his heart flutter, even though she wasn't a mermaid, he still confessed his feelings without hesitation, only to be rejected so easily.
Rosette felt deeply traumatized, and her gaze towards Baixi grew increasingly ashamed and indignant.
"...Your Highness, this is the Savior."
The mermaid guardian finally snapped out of his despair and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the savior's refusal. He quickly tried to stop his little prince from saying anything more outrageous before things became irreversible.
"..."
This time, the silent mermaid became 'Rosette', and his red eyes seemed to turn white again in that instant. If you didn't know, no one would know that he had almost cried just now.
He seemed to be adjusting his mood, and waited a while before he heard 'Rosette' speak.
"So...you were the savior..."
Bai Xi really wanted to facepalm; what kind of mess was this?
She thought she was famous enough, never expecting that 'Rosette' didn't even recognize her.
The mermaid guards were also complaining bitterly. The little prince was too arrogant and didn't care much about anything except himself. That's right, he hadn't even paid much attention to the savior.
"Yes, that's right. I need your help with a small thing, so I came to you."
Bai Xi nodded, pulling herself out of the earlier farce and regaining her composure, just like someone who had come to discuss cooperation or a deal.
Rosette still didn't answer, but lowered her head thoughtfully, as if she was thinking about something.
Bai Xi was also anxious, so she waited a little while.
After an unknown amount of time, Rosette suddenly raised her head, her eyes regaining their sparkle, looking vibrant and in a good mood.
"I'm willing, I'm willing to go with you."
His quick agreement surprised Bai Xi a little, but since it was a good thing for her, she didn't think much of it.
At this moment, 'Rosette' asked again.
"If I go with you and help you, will we be able to see each other every day?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xi felt her eye twitch, and the mermaid guard was so frightened that she almost jumped up and covered 'Rosette's' mouth.
You just confessed your feelings to someone, and now you're asking this question? Isn't that like Sima Zhao's intentions being obvious to everyone...?
"Can."
Bai Xi thought for a moment. If she denied it, it was unlikely that 'Rosette' would go with her, so she looked at 'Rosette' and nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll help you."
Rosette nodded vigorously, looking much better than before.
Things went unexpectedly smoothly. When Bai Xi left the mermaid territory, she was still pondering whether this was interference from the world's consciousness or simply because 'Rosette' was a love-struck fool.
Bai Xi vaguely remembered the first time she met Rosette in her dream, when he mistook her for his partner because of the 'Heart of the Ocean'.
Although the current situation is not quite the same as it was then, the underlying principles are similar.
Rosette's large tail still reflected a beautiful light in the dark ocean. Bai Xi promised to protect him after taking him away from the ocean. Although the Mermaid King was reluctant, he only had one choice: to let him go.
He didn't mind at all that he felt like he had been 'forced' into marriage; all he could think about was when Bai Xi would agree to be his spouse.
And so, the mermaid happily headed towards the mainland.
