Seeing this scene, Lecia's face flushed.
After all, she is not one of those new generation mermaids. She has lived long enough. Although her long life has not changed her inner purity, it has more or less influenced some of her concepts.
She waved her hand, and a layer of white mist enveloped the body on the ground. After doing all this, she said to Eros rather shyly:
"After I return to my body, it will unconsciously unfold into a mythical form. If I return on the ship, I might contaminate them."
Having said this, she gestured to Eros and the mermaids watching from the side, and then continued:
"So, Master Favored, can I leave for a while? I'll be back once I've stabilized my form!"
Eros shifted his gaze from the white mist, nodded to Lecia, and agreed to Lecia's request.
After getting permission, Lecia grabbed her body and jumped directly into the sea below.
The shadows of the dead struggling on the sea did not dare to stop them and all gave way.
Looking at the place where Lecia disappeared, Eros continued to sail the ship towards the outskirts of the Eternal Night Star Sea.
He was not worried that Lecia would not be able to find them, because Lecia must have left marks on those mermaids.
After seeing Lecia leave, the current Queen Caroline and several other mermaids, who were under pressure from Lecia's majesty, finally found an opportunity to surround her.
Eros understood what they wanted to express. It happened that he was fine now. The Eternal Night Star Sea was calm, and he was full and satisfied.
The two hit it off immediately, and as they walked towards the deck, Eros asked Caroline something he had been curious about.
"What is your relationship with Lecia?"
The reason he asked this question was because he had heard from Rayna before that the throne of the mermaid clan was inherited based on bloodline.
As the current mermaid queen, could Caroline be a descendant of Lecia?
Hearing Eros' question, Caroline did not hide anything and immediately replied:
"Her Majesty is my great-grandmother's younger sister. In human parlance, she is also my great-grandmother."
Eros had already expected this, so he wasn't too surprised by Caroline's answer.
Although the mermaids had previously been burdened with a curse of bereavement, that curse could not possibly kill a Sequence 1 Archangel.
As they were talking, they had already arrived near the entrance of the ship.
On the deck, Rayna, who was chatting with her companions, turned her head to look at the back figure at the entrance of the ship, and a hint of envy flashed in her beautiful big eyes.
The companion beside her noticed that Rayna was a little absent-minded, and following Rayna's gaze, she also saw the back figure at the entrance of the ship. Immediately, a mischievous smile appeared on her face, and she said:
"I dare say that the Queen and the others are going to pay their loyalty to the master again."
"I don't know when the master will remove the curse from me, so that I can also pledge my loyalty to the master."
As she spoke, the mischief on her face turned into anticipation, and her eyes sparkled.
Rayna pursed her lips and said nothing. Her companion, immersed in her own fantasy, did not notice the dejection on Rayna's face and continued to talk to herself:
"Speaking of which, Raynay, you've followed the Master for so long, you should know what that feeling is like, right? Tell me about it."
As her companion spoke, she looked at Rayna with great interest. Feeling the eager gaze of her companion beside her, Rayna lowered her head, and moved her slender white fingers back and forth in front of her body. After a long while, she finally uttered a sentence:
"I...I...I don't know either!"
"Huh?" Her companions looked at Renia in surprise. Renia lowered her head, not daring to look into her companions' eyes.
…
On the other side, Eros, who had returned to the room, looked at Caroline and said:
"Come on! Let's go to the bathroom!"
As he spoke, Eros walked into the bathroom, came to the large bathtub, and began to fill it with warm water.
Because mermaids have no legs, their movements are restricted in places without water.
Seeing Eros walking to the bathtub to fill it with water, Caroline and the other mermaids looked at each other, then quickly jumped over.
Seeing them coming, Eros glanced at the bathtub, which might take some time to fill, and made small talk:
"How are your two fish eggs now?"
Hearing Eros ask this, Caroline showed a gentle smile on her face:
"They are still in the process of gestation. We mermaids are an immortal species. It takes several years from embryo to birth."
"The stronger the bloodline, the longer it takes to nurture."
"That's why we switched from in-vivo gestation to in-vitro gestation. If we did it in-vivo, our bodies would be distorted for a long time, and it would also affect our ability to fight sea monsters."
Eros nodded in realization, then noticed that Caroline had just used the word "her".
"It seems like you can directly determine the gender of your child!"
Caroline's eyes curved slightly, and she smiled faintly, "It's more of a decision than a confirmation."
"Master may not know that the gender of our mermaid children at birth is related to the temperature around the embryo."
"When the temperature is above a certain limit, the child will be male, and vice versa."
So that's how it is. Eros had heard that the gender of some egg-laying creatures was related to the surrounding temperature, but he didn't expect that the mermaids were also like this.
At this time, Caroline took the initiative to speak: "Master, you should have heard from Rayna that our mermaid tribe was once the nobility of the Mermaid Empire!"
Eros nodded slightly. He had indeed heard Rayna say this, but he didn't understand why Caroline suddenly brought this up.
Eros didn't wonder for long before Caroline took the initiative to explain:
"Because our ancestor was a female mermaid, the status of women in our mermaid clan is higher than that of men."
"Plus, the child conceived will only inherit the mother's bloodline. The father only plays a catalytic role in accelerating the embryo's development. It doesn't matter whether he is there or not."
"This also means that the child we conceived actually has no connection with the father."
"So when we conceive children, we choose women who can carry on our bloodline."
No wonder all the mermaids in this mermaid tribe are female.
While they were chatting, the bathtub was almost full.
