You Ai looked at Xinglai, seemingly waiting for his answer patiently, but in fact she was delaying time as much as possible.
She had already asked Antoine to go back and talk to the elders of his clan, and come to propose to Neriya, and settle the marriage in public, so that the Nord family would give up the idea.
Although she didn't want to urge marriage, in the mermaid world where the main purpose of life is reproduction, and Nereia is the queen, it would be safer to settle the life event as soon as possible.
Xing Lai was furious and glared at him, "Stop your sweet talk and hand Michelle over!"
You Ai thought he was just angry because he couldn't answer. But she had no intention of fighting Xing Lai yet, so she decided to calm him down first.
She said, "Since Dan Nord is willing to be buried with Dura, he must be willing to accept everything about Dura. I can understand your feelings, because I don't quite understand the thoughts of this Dan warrior either."
Yu Ai slowed down her speech, her voice becoming more rhythmic. She continued, "But one thing is certain: he loves Dura. I believe everyone here is extremely loyal to their partner and willing to give their all for him/her, right? Isn't that right?"
She gradually raised her voice, her movements and expressions perfectly matched, "We have become partners with them. We swore an oath at the wedding ceremony that no matter what happens in this life, we will never give up on each other. We will stay together until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble."
Everyone present listened attentively. Perhaps at the beginning Yu Ai was relying on Nereya's power, but now it had completely become her home court.
Many mermaids from the Nord family were summoned back temporarily. They only knew to follow. Now, after listening to Yuai's words, they felt the same way. Some of their partners who came with them even began to look at each other affectionately.
However, these words only work for mermaids who have partners, but not for Xinglai. Isn’t he here to find a partner?
Xinglai snorted coldly and said, "Be absolutely loyal to your partner, but Dura broke her oath first..."
"You can't say that," You Ai interrupted him, his expression changing as fast as turning the pages of a book. In a flash, the longing expression disappeared, and now his face was filled with anger.
She asked sharply, "Did Dora leave in the end? No, why?" She asked and answered herself, facing the audience with a very sad expression, "Because she didn't want to leave here, and what is here? Dan Nord is here!"
You Ai took a deep breath and said with a sad expression, "She didn't leave with Michelle. Was it because she couldn't leave? Or was she locked up and couldn't leave? No, neither of those. It's just because she didn't want to leave. Do I need to repeat the reason why she didn't want to leave?!"
Xinglai saw that the supporters he brought with him had begun to turn against him. He felt that something was wrong and needed to save the situation. He said loudly: "You are not Dura, how do you know that she stayed here just for Dan!"
"Are you Dura? How do you know she doesn't think so?" You Ai replied immediately.
Anyway, it's all fabricated. Dura and Dan are both dead, and they can't come out to explain to them whether it's right or wrong.
It's all nonsense, You Ai doesn't think he will lose!
But Xinglai was not to be outdone. He said, "I'm not, and neither are you. No one knows what she's thinking, but one thing is certain, she betrayed Dan and the Nord family!"
Yu Ai scoffed, "She and Roy were in front, and Dan was behind. If there's any betrayal, it's Roy." She changed the subject, "Maybe Dula is selfish in her relationships, but you can't say she betrayed Dan, let alone the Nord family."
"If she really wanted to betray Dan, she could have taken Michelle and left, but she chose to stay. If she had no feelings for Dan at all, how could she give up her own daughter? She was the child she had carried with great difficulty and given birth to. No mother would be willing to give up her own child."
Yu Ai's last cry was almost broken, and that emotion completely aroused the females who had given birth on the field. Some of the more sentimental females were even secretly wiping away tears.
She slowed down her tone and spoke softly, "She gave up her own child. Doesn't that prove her feelings for Dan? After they became partners, she fell deeply in love with him."
You Ai turned to glare at Xing Lai, and her glare made his heart skip a beat. He only heard her say indignantly, "You can say she feels guilty towards Dan, but you can't say she betrayed him. If you say that, then where does that leave Dan, who wants to be buried with Dura after death?"
After saying a lot of the same things over and over again, You Ai actually didn't quite believe what she said. But in fact, what she said was not entirely unreasonable, it was just that there was no evidence to prove it.
Anyway, she was almost confused by herself, but the effect was unexpectedly good!
Most of the mermaids in the Nord family have changed their minds and look at Youai with trust and admiration!
Xinglai wanted to argue again, but for a moment he was speechless and had to say firmly: "No matter what, you must hand over Michelle!"
After the long speech, You Ai wanted to clear her throat, but she held back and said to Xing in a very pleasant manner: "Why should I hand Michelle over to you?"
In one word, he got away with it, but at this point, Xinglai could no longer use the fact that Michelle was Dura's daughter as an excuse.
Xinglai choked again, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head. He said, "She is an intruder who has desecrated the dead and must be punished."
"This does need to be punished."
You Ai nodded as he spoke, then looked up at Xing Lai and said, "But what does this have to do with you? Are you a guard? Or a patrolman? Or are you in charge of guarding the cemetery?"
Seeing Xinglai speechless, she continued, "If you are neither of them, why do you want Michelle? Or do you want to use this matter to achieve your other goals? Huh?" She looked directly into Xinglai's eyes, not letting him escape.
Xinglai looked at You Ai with a pair of bright lavender eyes that penetrated his heart, as if seeing through everything he was thinking, forcing him to dodge and not dare to look at her at all.
You Ai looked at Xinglai with evasive eyes and a flustered expression. If she had originally just guessed that he had something to hide, now she was sure that he had other motives.
"Alright, everyone, go away," You Ai waved at everyone and said, "The rest of the matter will be left to the Queen. I will make sure to give everyone an explanation."
What she said now sounded more effective than what Xing said to the other mermen in the Nord family.
As soon as they heard what You Ai said, they all started to retreat, and they didn't really stop even when Xing Lai shouted at them to come back.
