Bai Su sighed. "I know what you’re trying to say, but if you think of him as a female, wouldn’t you feel less hostile?"
The two of them fell silent.
Bai Su added, "Maybe you could trust me a little more."
"I’m not going to agree to every outstanding and handsome male who comes after me."
"No matter how much you deny it, in my heart, Rosa Meiya is a female. Her becoming a male to pursue me can’t change the fact that in my mind, she’s still a female."
"Even if she wanted to do something to me, she couldn’t lay a hand on me, right?"
She directed her last sentence at Li Chenlin.
A guilty look flickered in Li Chenlin’s eyes. "Uh... yeah... I guess so."
Bai Su couldn’t be bothered to call him out.
Rosa Meiya had told her long ago that she possessed the Sea God’s power, which allowed her to command all living beings of the Sea Clan.
She later recalled what Li Chenlin had said during her duel with Rosa Meiya, which confirmed the suspicion in her heart.
Li Chenlin must have given her the Sea Power at the aquarium last time, without her knowing.
That key was just a formality.
The guilt in Li Chenlin’s eyes became more and more obvious. He was afraid Bai Su would get angry with him for acting on his own again, just like before.
"Well, uh, I just remembered I have something to do. Maybe I should get going..."
"Hold on." Yelias stopped him.
Since everyone was here, Yelias said, "There’s an important matter that requires all of you to handle together."
Wen Lan glanced at him but said nothing.
Bai Su paused. "What is it?"
Yelias asked, "You should have received an invitation from the Qin Family, right?"
Bai Su replied, "I haven’t really checked my smart-brain’s inbox lately..."
With that, she raised her hand to open her smart-brain and sure enough, saw a forwarded email from Yodel.
Yelias said, "Lu Tingyan predicted this before he went into seclusion. The Qin Family’s banquet is an annual global gala, and the Royal Family from every country is invited."
"Lu Tingyan is in seclusion, so naturally, this task falls to his wife, Susu, to handle."
Hearing this, Li Chenlin frowned as well.
’How could I have forgotten about this?’
’No wonder those people from the Southern Country have been hunting me so relentlessly lately.’
’I’m the only one with the Southern Country’s Royal Family bloodline. The Qin Family has eyes and ears everywhere; they would definitely send the invitation to me.’
’If that happened, I’d be officially recognized by the Qin Family, and I wouldn’t be able to shake off my status as the Royal Family’s heir.’
’Then those people in the Southern Country wouldn’t be able to crown themselves king and overthrow the Southern Dynasty’s rule...’
Yelias continued, "Lu Tingyan’s intention is for Susu to go in his place as his wife, and for Li Chenlin to accompany her in his capacity as a prospective Beast Husband and as the sovereign of the Southern Country."
Li Chenlin hadn’t planned on going, but after hearing what Yelias said, he changed his mind. "I can do that."
Since it was to protect Bai Su, he was naturally duty-bound to go.
Yelias added, "But I think it would be best to bring Da Bao along, too."
Wen Dabao’s eyes lit up. "I can go pig out too?"
Wen Lan’s mouth twitched. He pressed a hand on her head. "Does your dad not feed you enough or what? Don’t be embarrassing."
Wen Dabao deftly tilted her head to dodge Wen Lan’s demonic claw and shouted to Bai Su, "Mom! Take me to pig out?"
Bai Su couldn’t help but laugh at her antics, but she didn’t answer right away.
