Fortunately, Jun Yuelan listened to Jiang Li's words, and swam to her side shyly while twisting her nose, and sat next to her obediently.
"Go ahead and I'll listen to your explanation." He said this, but what he was actually thinking was: Go ahead and explain it. If you can't explain it clearly, I'll ignore you. I don't want to be a mistress.
Although Jun Yuelan was temporarily calmed down, Jiang Li still had a headache about how to explain it.
She couldn't tell Jun Yuelan that she was not from this world, and that she was bound to the system after traveling to this world, and that she just found a male to give birth to a child in order to survive?
If I tell Jun Yuelan this, will he think there is something wrong with his brain?
Well...definitely!
Jun Yuelan saw that Jiang Li's expression kept jumping back and forth between entanglement and affirmation, and she even didn't say anything to explain for a long time, which made him more suspicious. Was she trying to find a way to conceal the existence of the male?
"Jun Yuelan, there are no other males around me..."
Faced with Jiang Li's pale explanation, Jun Yuelan naturally didn't believe it.
"Why are you pregnant if you don't have one?"
"Do you believe me when I say it's to save your life?"
"To survive?" Jun Yuelan didn't understand. What does this have to do with getting pregnant?
"As you know, our bird tribe's fighting power is not as good as yours, especially for someone like me with low spiritual power. In a land where the weak are the prey of the strong, danger may occur at any time. And this thing in my belly is for my survival."
Jun Yuelan still didn't understand what Jiang Li said.
His confused and doubtful eyes moved away from Jiang Li's face, gradually moving down to her bulging belly.
The little guy inside is still swimming in the belly.
Seeing that Jun Yuelan still had an expression of disbelief, Jiang Li continued to think about how to explain.
But before she could figure it out, Jun Yuelan suddenly spoke slowly.
"I once read in a book that in order to reproduce, females on land will have many partners. I thought it was a lie, but I didn't expect it to be true." His eyes drooped slightly and his expression became lonely.
"It's true. Isn't it true of you?"
Jun Yuelan's expression became even more lonely, and her bright blue eyes became dimmed like a flame that had been extinguished.
"We mermaids only recognize one partner in our lifetime."
He swung his fish tail and slowly stood up, saying, "I'll go out for a while. It's safe here. You should have a good rest here." Then he left without looking back.
Jiang Li was left alone sitting on the scallop bed, wondering if he had said something wrong.
Jun Yuelan came to sit on a reef not far away, holding a handful of colorful pebbles in his hand, and throwing the pebbles while mumbling.
"Stay or not? Stay or not?"
Just as he was lost in thought, he heard a familiar voice calling from behind him.
"Jun Yuelan?"
Jun Yuelan stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the source of the sound.
Behind him, there was a seahorse with a big belly floating.
"Xiao Jie?"
When Xiao Jie saw him like this, he was surprised and happy. He swam over quickly and observed him for several circles.
"Jun Yuelan, it's really you! How did you become a male?"
"Are you surprised to become a male?" Jun Yuelan turned her head and continued throwing her pebbles.
Xiao Jie swam in front of him, and with an extremely exaggerated expression, he danced and said, "You mermaids have no gender distinction. You can only turn into male or female when you meet someone you like." As he said that, he looked Jun Yuelan up and down again, "Looking at you, you must have met someone you like, so you turned into a male, right?"
Faced with Xiaojie's question, Jun Yuelan pursed his lips and remained silent. He didn't want to answer this question.
Xiao Jie also noticed it and continued, "I know even if you don't answer. To be honest, I have been observing you for a long time just now. Seeing your bitter and resentful look, you must have someone you like. The hundred-year-old stone fish has bloomed! There are already several mermaid cubs of your age. I am lucky to see that you have a gender in my lifetime. Come and tell me, whose female did you fall in love with?"
Xiaojie stared at him with his big eyes and kept muttering to him.
But Jun Yuelan didn't want to pay attention to him and continued throwing the pebbles in her hand.
"Hey~ Don't ignore me, have you encountered any setbacks? You can tell me about it. Although I don't have other abilities, I still have some experience in relationships."
Hearing this, Jun Yuelan's dim eyes suddenly lit up a little. Looking at his expression changing, Xiao Jie was secretly happy that he had hit the right spot.
Jun Yuelan slowly raised her eyes, and her gaze suddenly fixed on Xiaojie's bulging belly.
Stared for a long time.
Xiao Jie followed his gaze downwards and saw that he was staring at his stomach, which made him very confused.
"What's wrong? Why are you always looking at my belly?" Strange, it's not the first time he's seen me pregnant.
"Xiao Jie, what would you do if the female you like was pregnant with another male's baby?"
"First of all, this is impossible. You know that male seahorses give birth to offspring..."
Just as Xiaojie was talking, he suddenly got the key word of this sentence.
"Jun Yuelan, what did you just ask me?" He widened his eyes in horror, and his voice unconsciously rose, "Don't tell me you like a married woman!"
The sharp sound woke up the small fish fry that were resting behind the reefs, and they ran around in panic.
Jun Yuelan was also frightened by his sudden shout and quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth.
"Hush! Keep your voice down!" He lowered his voice and scolded. He looked around and found that there were no other fish, so he felt relieved.
Xiaojie also realized that he was wrong and nodded quickly.
Only then did Jun Yuelan let go of her hand.
"Actually, I'm not a married woman... I fell in love with a female on land... She told me that she didn't have any males around her..."
"What?" Xiao Jie raised his voice unconsciously again.
He suddenly came to his senses, quickly covered his mouth, and quietly spoke to Jun Yuelan, "Have you forgotten what the elder said? The orcs on land are the best at lying! Especially the females. She said there are no males around her, so how did she get pregnant?"
"I asked her, and she said it was to save her life."
This sentence choked Xiaojie.
Look at Jun Yuelan's attitude, he has been completely brainwashed by the hateful female!
But living under the sea together, how could he not understand mermaids? Once they commit to a person, they will be together for life, and will never leave each other unless they die.
Xiao Jie sighed, knowing that he couldn't persuade the other party at all. If he talked too much about the bad things about the female, it would only cause their friendship to break down. Now he could only guide him slowly.
