"Lain, can I borrow this book?" Rosie asked softly, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.
A flicker of hesitation flashed across Rhine's blue eyes, but it was quickly replaced by tenderness. He nodded gently in agreement, "Of course. If you like it, take it and read it. As long as you're happy, that's all."
Rosie gave Laing a grateful smile and held the book carefully in her arms.
After returning to her bedroom, Rosie couldn't wait to continue reading. She found many interesting contents in the scattered text.
One of them records in detail the origin legend of the mermaids, describing how they rose from the depths of the ocean and became the rulers of the sea.
When she turned to the middle of the book, Rosie found an old nursery rhyme -
Blue wave gentle lullaby,
The deep sea hides the secret of dreams,
The coral palace is silent,
Guarding the ancient oath.
Starfish twinkle in the night,
Shells whisper ancient songs,
The conch shell blows a low horn,
Calling the ebb and flow.
The sand whispers, the waves caress,
The seaweed dances, the moon's shadow sways,
The descendants of Poseidon know this very well.
The blood flows, hiding the key.
There is a mystery hidden in the sound of the tide.
There is poetry hidden in the waves,
A drop of red awakens the sleeping
The people of the sea guard the secrets.
Undersea volcanoes, sleeping silently,
The blood of Poseidon droops gently,
Until the stars guide the day,
The secrets of the sea will be revealed.
Luo Xi looked at Tong Yao and fell into deep thought.
Key...?
……
The news of the ceasefire was like a gentle breeze, dispelling the gloom that had enveloped the Sea God Clan. The long-awaited Rhythm of the Sea Sacred Gathering could finally take place as scheduled, and the entire underwater world was filled with excitement.
Although imprisoned, Rosie was also infected by the lively atmosphere. She took the opportunity to ask Rhine to participate in the preparations for the Holy Meeting.
She originally just wanted to give it a try, but she didn't expect that Laing actually agreed.
You have to know that the preparations for the Melody of the Sea are huge and complicated, and the venue is Mount Asuri. If she wants to participate, she will definitely have to leave the Palace of Poseidon.
Rosie felt even more complicated when she recalled Rein's pale face due to illness when he agreed to her without hesitation.
If possible, she really didn't want Lain to die...
Accompanied by Hetu and Hemiao, Luo Xi began to gain a deeper understanding of the various aspects of the preparations for the Holy Meeting. The most eye-catching aspect was undoubtedly the venue of the Holy Meeting - Mount Asuri.
Rosie took an underwater shuttle, escorted by two maids and a team of guards, to this mysterious place. As the shuttle slowly entered the crater, the sight before her took Rosie's breath away.
Colorful corals and shells dotted the volcano's interior, creating a vibrant underwater painting. Countless mermaids bustled among them, meticulously weaving these natural ornaments into exquisite works of art. Rosie couldn't resist reaching out to touch a nearby coral, and was amazed by its delicate touch.
In the open waters of a volcanic heartland, a group of mermaids rehearsed a dance. Their movements were graceful and fluid, their iridescent tails drawing beautiful arcs through the water. The scene reminded Rosie of synchronized swimming competitions on Earth, only this performance was freer and more dynamic, as if they were one with the ocean.
Rosie couldn't help but sigh that in other empires, females were so precious that it was unimaginable to ask them to dance for males.
"This scene reminds me of the New Year in my hometown." Luo Xi looked at the bustling scene around her and said to He Tu, "But the atmosphere here is more lively."
He Tu gently swung his tail fin, a proud smile on his face. "Of course, the Sea Rhythm Sacred Gathering is our most important festival. Everyone will put their all into preparations!"
As he was speaking, a young female mermaid with a pink tail swam over, holding an exquisite shell box in her hands. Although the mermaids possessed high technology comparable to that of other empires, they still preferred to use these natural items from the sea.
"My two sisters, this is the sea silk you requested." She handed the box to He Tu, "I specially asked my brother to bring it back from Hal Planet."
He Tu and He Miao took the box and fondly stroked the silken threads inside. After the female said goodbye and left, Luo Xi couldn't help but ask, "What do you want these threads for?"
He Miao's cheeks flushed slightly as she whispered, "We're preparing clothes for the congregation. According to tradition, everyone has to make a special piece of clothing by hand."
A sly glint flashed in Luo Xi's eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up mischievously: "Let me guess, you guys are not hoping to find someone you like at the Holy Meeting?"
He Tu and He Miao's faces immediately turned red, and they stammered in denial, but their eyes gleamed with anticipation. Luo Qian couldn't help but smile, thinking that their age on Blue Star was equivalent to high school students, but here they could already get married and have children normally.
Every girl has a crush on someone, and it is normal to want to fall in love and get married.
Moreover, since the number of females in the River God Tribe is equal to that of males, marriage is very free.
You can have monogamy, polyandry, or polyandry. If you want, no one will bother you.
The main theme is absolute freedom in marriage.
After finally accepting polyandry, Rosie, a Chinese, now looks at the marriage system of the Atlantis Empire and can only say that she doesn't understand it but respects it.
Luo Xi watched He Tu and He Miao busy preparing clothes for the Sea Rhythm Holy Meeting and became curious. She whispered, "How about I help you make clothes?"
The two maids couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard this.
He Tu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your Excellency the Saint, are you really not going to pick out some new clothes for yourself? The Sea Rhythm Sacred Gathering is a rare event." There was a hint of anticipation in her voice, as if she hoped to see Luo Xi dressed up.
Luo Xi smiled calmly: "What should I prepare? I don't plan to find a partner."
At that moment, the pearl curtains of the bedroom door were gently drawn aside. A guard in a dark blue uniform slowly walked in, holding an exquisite shell box. The shell box was inlaid with shimmering pearls and aquamarines, reflecting a dreamy light in the water.
