Rosie's eyes followed Rhine closely, with mixed feelings in her heart.
This "stimulant drug" doesn't sound like a good thing. Was it because of this drug that he vomited blood?
And why on earth would he take it at any cost?
She turned to look at Princess Caiyu beside her, frowning slightly.
"What exactly is this hormetic drug?"
Rosie asked in a low voice, with a barely perceptible hint of worry in her tone.
She desperately wanted to know the answer, as it might be related to Rein's safety. He was one of the few people in this strange country whose kindness she could feel. No matter what, she didn't want anything to happen to him.
Princess Caiyu's expression turned grim. She sighed and explained, "This is a secret medicine from the mermaid tribe. It can stimulate the user's potential in a short period of time, but the price is... overdrawing vitality."
Rosie gasped. Overdrawing her vitality? Wasn't that just drinking poison to quench her thirst? She looked at Laing's pale yet still beautiful face, and an indescribable pain welled up in her heart. If only it were possible...
At this moment, Laing suddenly turned his head and looked at Rosie with a gentle gaze that seemed to melt the hardest ice and snow in the world. He spoke in a gentle voice, but the words were directed to Orlando.
"Brother, don't worry, I'm fine."
The Sea King followed Rhine's gaze, his eyes fixed on Rosie. His gaze, so sharp it seemed to pierce through people's hearts, made Rosie feel as if she had been stripped naked, exposed to the gazes of all. She felt a surge of panic, but forced herself to calm down. She couldn't escape. She met the Sea King's gaze, clear and unwavering.
After a long moment, the Sea King withdrew his gaze, and his deep voice echoed in the water: "Take His Highness back to rest, and the Holy Meeting will continue."
"No, I want to stay here." Laing's voice was not loud, but it was filled with an irresistible persistence.
The Sea King frowned tightly, looked at Rhine deeply, then turned around, swung the blue fish tail that symbolized supreme power, and returned to his throne.
This is tacit consent.
He An hurried forward and carefully helped Laing back to his seat. Luo Xi also returned to her seat. She looked at Laing, and a strong urge surged in her heart. She wanted to know why he did this?
"Why... do you want to take that medicine?" Luo Xi finally couldn't help but ask.
Lain smiled slightly, a smile with a hint of bitterness: "I don't want to... be a useless person forever."
Luo Xi's heart seemed to be tugged by something, she opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She wanted to comfort him, but found that any words seemed pale and powerless.
"You..." Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "You took that medicine, are you... okay?"
Laing looked at her, his eyes as gentle as the spring breeze in March: "I'm fine, I just want to... dance for you."
Luo Xi was stunned. She didn't expect that Lain was doing this for her...
"Silly, it's not worth it." Rosie's voice was choked.
"Whether it's worth it or not, I have the final say." Lain's tone was light, but with unquestionable determination, "As long as you're happy, I think it's worth it."
Rosie's eyes welled up, and she turned her head away, not wanting Laing to see them. Why was this idiot so nice to her? What had she done to deserve his... favor?
"I don't deserve this from you." Rosie's voice trembled slightly.
"Whether it's worth it or not, I have the final say. You just need to...watch." Rein smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning in his smile, "I am...very powerful."
Luo Xi burst into laughter. This guy really is...something you both love and hate.
Lain's eyes fell on the dazzling pile of jewelry in Rosie's hand, and his brows knitted unconsciously. These were all gifts from the Sea King. Each piece was dazzling and obviously worth a lot of money. Moreover, they were all men's styles.
The Sea King's actions were completely obvious to everyone. He was determined to force Rosie to choose a male partner from the Atlantis Empire!
"Sissi," Rein said, a hint of subtle worry in his voice, "If my brother forces you later, you will..."
"What's wrong with you?" Rosie asked anxiously. She didn't like the feeling of leaving things unsaid, especially when it concerned Ryan's safety.
Lain looked at her, his eyes, deeper than the ocean, filled with a gentle smile. "If my brother forces you, just choose one."
Just pick one? This is a lifelong event! Luo Qian's eyes widened. This guy, is he treating marriage as a joke?
"How can this be so casual?" Rosie's voice unconsciously rose a few degrees, attracting the attention of people around her.
However, Ryan continued as if nothing had happened, "Anyway... you won't like them." His voice was very soft, as light as a feather, which gently fell on Rosie's heart, but stirred up layers of ripples.
Luo Xi was stunned. How did he know she wouldn't like them? Could this guy read minds?
"You..." Rosie was about to speak, but was interrupted by Rhine.
"Shh..." Laing raised a finger to his lips, silencing him. "Don't say anything. Listen to me."
Rosie shut her mouth obediently and looked at Ryan, waiting for his next words.
"You just need to remember, no matter who you choose, I'm on your side." Laing's voice was soft, but with unquestionable firmness.
Luo Xi's heart felt like it had been hit hard by something. This guy always did this, easily able to stir her heartstrings.
The "Princess Selection" sacred meeting was gradually coming to an end, and the master of ceremonies had stepped forward, ready to announce the end.
At this moment, Orlando's eyes fell on Rosie, and his eyes were as sharp as a sword drawn from its sheath.
"Saint Lady, haven't you given away your gift yet?"
His voice echoed in the water with unquestionable majesty, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Rosie's heart hard.
Rosie felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She subconsciously looked at Ryan, the pale but still beautiful boy.
Laing looked back at her and winked gently, his eyes filled with encouragement and nervousness.
What should she do? Rosie felt like she was being roasted on the fire. It was difficult to give it, and it was difficult not to give it. It was really a dilemma.
Under the gaze of everyone, Rosie felt like she was stripped naked and exposed to everyone.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She couldn't panic. The more she felt at a time like this, the more she needed to stay calm.
Under everyone's attention, Rosie made her choice.
She walked towards Lain, the fool who was willing to overdraw his life force for her. She handed him the gorgeous headdress, which sparkled brightly in the water, just like Lain himself, shining even in the darkness.
Rhine was surprised at first, and then his eyes flickered with surprise and surprise.
Then, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and his eyes dimmed again.
But he still spoke gently: "Can you help me put it on?"
His voice was soft and pleading.
Rosie nodded and carefully placed the headdress on Laing's long seaweed-like hair.
At that moment, Rhine's smile was like a flower blooming in the sea, so beautiful that it made people intoxicated.
Poseidon Orlando looked at this scene with a look of satisfaction on his face, but a complex emotion flashed in the depths of his eyes, like an undercurrent in the sea that no one could easily detect.
Admiral Mike lowered his eyes, his tall body standing there quietly like a sculpture, and no one knew what he was thinking.
As for Lilma, his eyes were full of resentment, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
At this moment, Rosie picked up another piece of jewelry without even looking closely at what it was.
She walked straight to the center of the platform, and this action stunned everyone.
Everyone quickly realized that they had to choose another one.
It is okay for a female to choose several partners, let alone a saintly female like Rosie.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Luo Xi, looking forward to her next choice.
Poseidon Orlando frowned slightly, and his eyes became deeper.
Admiral Mike remained silent, but his fingers tapped lightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Lilma's eyes became even colder, and he stared at Rosie as if he wanted to eat her alive.
As for Laing, there was a hint of worry in his eyes, but more of it was determination.
He knew that no matter what choice Rosie made, he would support her.
Rosie stood there, feeling everyone's gaze, especially the gaze of Poseidon, and smiled slightly.
Luo Xi took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and slowly walked in one direction.
Her gaze passed through the crowd and fell on Admiral Mike and Lilma who were standing not far away.
The two men had tall and straight figures and extraordinary bearing, standing out from the crowd.
Rosie walked slowly towards Admiral Mike, her steps light but firm.
She stopped in front of him, her eyes clear and without the slightest evasion.
She handed over the thing in her hand, which was a handkerchief carefully woven with dragon scale silk.
"This is for you."
Rosie's voice was soft, yet filled with unquestionable determination.
Admiral Mike was slightly startled. He looked down at the jewelry in his hand. He was a little surprised by the delicate touch and exquisite craftsmanship.
He raised his head and looked at Luo Xi deeply, as if he wanted to see through her heart.
The discussions among the crowd gradually died down, and everyone's attention was focused on Rosie and Admiral Mike.
Lilma's face became extremely ugly, his eyes were gloomy, and his clenched fists showed his inner anger and unwillingness.
The faces of others were filled with blessings and envy. After all, among the nobles of the empire, Admiral Mike and Lilma were undoubtedly the two most outstanding and handsome males.
Being able to win Rosie's favor is what countless males dream of.
The females were more envious and jealous. They looked at Rosie with mixed feelings.
This female from a foreign country not only has a beautiful face, but is also the only holy female in the entire galaxy. Now she has won the favor of Admiral Mike. How can they not be jealous?
For a moment, the surroundings were filled with complex emotions, including joy, envy, jealousy, and unwillingness.
Rosie stood there, quietly waiting for Admiral Mike's response.
There was not much emotion in her heart. After all, she had put the love bracelet on his hand with her own hands.
There is no chance of any accident.
Admiral Mike looked at Rosie, complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
"Thank you."
He said, his voice low and magnetic.
Rosie looked at him and smiled too.
This smile is like the sunshine in spring, warm and bright.
At this moment, all the troubles seemed to disappear, leaving only the two of them, staring at each other quietly.
Everything around them became blurred, only each other's figures were clearly reflected in each other's eyes.
Admiral Mike's mouth corners rose slightly, but he quickly returned to his usual stern look.
He pointed to his waist and motioned to Rosie: "Can you help me put that on?"
Only then did Luo Xi notice that what she picked up was actually a belt.
How do I wear this?
Her cheeks flushed, this action was too intimate.
However, when she saw Admiral Mike's deep eyes, she remembered the love bracelet that controlled people's hearts.
She guessed that the reason why Admiral Mike acted so close to her was probably because of the Love Bracelet.
At this point, she had no way to retreat and could only move forward.
Rosie picked up the belt and wrapped her hands around Admiral Mike's muscular waist.
Rosie could only smell the faint scent of seaweed lingering around her nose, fresh yet a bit chilly, like an undercurrent surging in the deep sea, strangely comforting. She could feel the breadth of his chest, the firmness of his muscles, and the warmth of his body, transmitted through the thin fabric, making her cheeks slightly warm.
But her height was not enough in front of the tall and strong Admiral Mike. Her small arms could not wrap around his strong waist. This was really... a huge embarrassing scene!
Luo Xi chuckled silently in her heart. It was neither right to hug nor not to hug. She was really in a dilemma. She secretly complained that the proportions of this mermaid's body were a bit too unfair.
Just when she was at a loss, Admiral Mike seemed to notice her embarrassment. He lowered his head slightly, and there seemed to be ripples in his deep blue eyes.
"Why, you can't hold me?" His voice was low, with a hint of a smile, like an undercurrent in the sea, gently plucking Rosie's heartstrings.
Luo Xi's face became even hotter, and she stammered, "Well... a little..."
Before she could finish her words, Admiral Mike suddenly bent down and picked her up sideways. Rosie screamed and subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck, this time holding her tightly.
"What about now?" Admiral Mike held her and swam forward easily, with a smile of success in his voice, "Can't you hold her?"
Rosie's face was red as if it was about to bleed. She buried her head in the crook of Admiral Mike's neck and muttered softly: "You are cheating..."
Admiral Mike laughed softly, his chest shaking slightly, causing Rosie to tremble slightly as well. She could feel the heat coming from his body and his strong heartbeat, which seemed to beat against her heart.
What…what was this? A princess hug? Rosie's heart was beating fast. She felt like a fish caught in a net. The more she struggled, the tighter the net tightened.
She secretly raised her head, wanting to see Admiral Mike's expression, but happened to bump into his deep blue eyes. Those eyes seemed to hide a bottomless ocean, making her want to indulge in it.
Luo Xi quickly looked away. She felt that if she continued to look, she would be drowned by this "sea". She cleared her throat and tried to make her voice sound normal: "Um... can you put me down first?"
"Why?" Admiral Mike raised his eyebrows. "Isn't it nice to hold it like this?"
"What's good about that?" Luo Xi rolled her eyes in her heart. "How can I... Besides, there are so many people watching..."
