"what?!"

Luo Xi sat up suddenly, her pupils shrinking, as if she had heard a fairy tale.

She stared at the two female mermaids, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Say it again?"

He Tu and He Miao looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.

He Tu sighed softly and spoke slowly, "The males of our River God clan can give birth twice a year, each time giving birth to tens of thousands of fish. It is precisely because of this that our Atlantis Empire has the largest population among the major empires."

Rosie was stunned, and some useless knowledge suddenly came to her mind.

It seems that male seahorses on the blue planet also give birth to offspring, but that is only because seahorses have pouches, and it is still females who actually give birth.

After a long while, she spoke with difficulty: "Then...what about the Sea God Clan?"

He Miao whispered, "Only when a male of the Sea God clan unites with a Holy Female can the Sea God Pearl be conceived. And only within the Sea God Pearl can a true descendant of the Sea God be born."

"But..." He Tu took over the conversation, his voice filled with deep sorrow, "The Holy Female has disappeared for a thousand years. The current Sea Emperor and His Highness the Young Emperor were both conceived by the last of the Sea God Pearls. And because of insufficient energy, His Highness the Young Emperor is frail and sickly..."

Luo Qian was stunned, her eyes filled with confusion and surprise. She asked softly, "So the Sea Emperor and the Young Emperor are...brothers?"

The two mermaid maids looked at each other, unsure how to respond. A hint of awkwardness hung in the air.

Finally, the seemingly reserved He Miao spoke. Her purple tail swayed gently, and her voice was soft and gentle: "Reporting to the Saint, we don't define kinship in this way here."

Rosie's curiosity was piqued, and she asked, "Then how do you divide it?"

The two maids exchanged glances, seemingly communicating something silently. Finally, He Tu, with her characteristically straightforward nature, replied, "You'll understand later, Lady Saint."

Luo Xi noticed that they seemed to have some concerns, so she stopped asking. She sighed softly, a hint of fatigue in her tone: "Forget it, you guys go down, I want to be alone."

However, the two did not leave immediately. He Miao's tone was full of concern: "Even if you don't want to eat, you have to think about the cub in your belly."

This made Rosie startle slightly. She put her hand on her abdomen again, feeling the life there.

After a moment of silence, she said softly, "I understand. Put the food down."

After the two men left, Rosie sat on the soft waterbed, her hands clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She took a deep breath and called softly, "001, are you there?"

[I'm always here, host] The system's cold voice sounded in her mind.

Luo Xi bit her lower lip, her eyes wandering: "What should we do now? Is there any way to escape?"

[Host, you have to face reality.] 001's tone was calm and almost cruel.

This is the capital planet of the Atlantis Empire. The entire planet is covered in seawater. Not to mention there are two ninth-level warriors guarding it. The possibility of your escape is basically zero.

She murmured softly, "Really...is there no other way?"

001 was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Actually... there's another way."

"any solution?"

[You can seduce the Sea King and make him let you go]

"..."

Just then, there was a noise outside the door, the sound of rippling water.

somebody is coming.

She quickly composed herself and breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, she had to find a way to survive in this strange place, and...

Protect the cub in her belly.

A tall man slowly walked into the hall. His lower body was a long fish tail, which swam gracefully behind him as he moved. The blue fish tail shimmered like silk, and was particularly dazzling under the light.

This man was none other than Orlando, the Sea King. Rosie clearly remembered that it was this fish tail that had blocked Kyle's attack, allowing her to be taken away by Admiral Mike. Orlando bowed slightly and gave Rosie a gentleman's salute, his tone shimmering with authority. "Your Excellency, the Saintess, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Luo Xi sneered, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes: "Really? I'm not very happy to meet you in this way." There was obvious sarcasm in her voice.

Orlando seemed oblivious. His magnificent, powerful tail swayed gently in the water, his graceful and commanding presence slowly approaching Rosie. With each steady, yet oppressive advance, Rosie felt a surge of invisible yet immense power, like a surging tide. It was as if the surrounding water had instantly transformed into invisible hands, squeezing her heart tightly and making it difficult for her to breathe. Her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, pounding in her chest like a drumbeat of war. Deep within her, an uncontrollable fear rose, creeping silently like a shadow in the darkness.

"Your Excellency," Orlando finally spoke. His voice was low and icy, like a cold current rising from the abyss of the ocean, instantly freezing all warmth and hope. "This is Atlantis, not the places you are familiar with. In this mysterious sea, governed by ancient laws, females enjoy no special privileges, even if you are a Saint... You'd better choose your tone carefully when speaking to me, and don't ask for trouble."

Although Rosie's heart was shrouded in the haze of fear, she knew very well that she must not choose to retreat at this time. Once she showed weakness, she would probably fall into an irretrievable situation.

She forced herself to remain calm and sneered, "Since you don't care about a Saint Female like me, why bother bringing me here? If I'm truly worthless to you, why not just let me go now?"

A glint flashed in Orlando's eyes. He had seen females pampered by males from other empires until they became arrogant, but even those females didn't dare to act rashly in his presence. Rosie was the first person to show such a fearful yet stubborn expression in front of him.

This expression is strangely similar to those of the unruly and difficult to tame ninth-level sea beasts.

And Orlando has always been absolutely confident. No matter how ferocious and powerful the ninth-level sea beasts are, he will always find a way to make them submit to him...
