"Your Highness, Your Highness! The eldest prince is coming with his guards!"
While Chi Ruanfan was drowsy, he heard the anxious voice of the servant ringing in his ears.
He opened his eyes impatiently and the first thing he saw was his long golden hair.
Her long hair, as beautiful and smooth as the sun, fluttered in the sea, and a few strands floated in front of him.
Combing his hair behind his back, Chi Ruanfan said with a stern face:
"Where did this great prince come from?"
He had been the Mermaid King for ten years, and all his energy was spent on the war with the Human Federation. He didn't even have a female partner by his side, so it was impossible for him to have children.
The title "Grand Prince" sounds very old.
The last time Chi Ruanfan heard this title was when he ascended the throne.
At that time, his stupid brother was still alive and would appear in front of him every few days.
The young prince and the eldest prince had a disagreement. The attendant thought that the young prince was speaking in anger and hurriedly urged him:
"The eldest prince is outside the palace. Please leave through the secret passage. They want to... "
"Where else do you want to go?"
An arrogant voice entered the hall, followed by a "bang", and the crystal hall was heavily pushed open.
The eldest prince swam in with his red fish tail waving, followed by a group of mermaid guards.
Chi Ruanfan's expression was shocked for a moment.
This annoying face clearly belongs to his arrogant and stupid brother who died long ago.
"Why aren't you dead yet?"
Chi Ruanfan's gaze fell on the eldest prince's chest with scattered red hair, and he frowned slightly.
No, the eldest prince's chest had been pierced by a sharp claw, leaving a bloody hole big enough to pass through his arm.
He had personally confirmed the other party's death, and had also seen with his own eyes that guy's body sink to the bottom of the sea. With the intervention of the high priest's power, it quickly decomposed and turned into nutrients for the deep sea.
In such a situation, there is absolutely no possibility for the other party to survive.
Moreover, the scene of the eldest prince and his guards surrounding his palace... looks so familiar.
He seemed to have experienced a similar scene more than ten years ago.
The eldest prince circled Chi Ruanfan several times. There was appreciation for beautiful things in his eyes, but mostly joy in destroying this beauty that did not belong to him.
"The Human Federation will definitely be satisfied with your marriage." The eldest prince said with a smile.
"Marriage for peace?" Chi Ruanfan's eyes changed slightly.
Everything was connected, the servants calling him "Your Highness" instead of "Emperor", the eldest prince being "resurrected from the dead", and the marriage.
He went back more than ten years.
At this time, he has not yet differentiated.
Under the planning of the Great Prince and the peace faction, he became a tool to ally with the Human Federation Marshal.
The eldest prince saw the change in Chi Ruanfan's eyes, and spread his hands with a gloating look, saying:
"The emperor has only two children. I have already differentiated into a male mermaid, so I cannot marry a human marshal. You are the only one left, 'Deep Sea Golden Rose'."
When the eldest prince said the last sentence, he emphasized his voice and looked at Chi Ruanfan as if he was looking at a rose that was about to be cut and given away.
Rose is a plant native to the Human Federation, and later introduced to the Mermaid Empire.
With the careful cultivation of the priests, roses bloomed on the seabed.
It can bloom flowers of various colors and is deeply loved by mermaids.
The most expensive and beautiful one is the golden rose, which is as dazzling as the sun.
Chi Ruanfan has long golden hair and a golden fishtail, as beautiful and dazzling as a golden rose.
His admirers called him "The Golden Rose of the Deep Sea".
But Chi Ruanfan doesn't like this title.
He didn't like flowers, especially those from the Human Federation.
The eldest prince's eyes, as if he was looking at commodities, made Chi Ruanfan furious.
This brainless brother could always easily irritate him.
Chi Ruanfan's fish tail, which was like a golden diamond, moved slightly and suddenly pulled the eldest prince out.
Everything happened so fast that the guards didn't react until the collision and crystal shattering sounded one after another.
"Protect the eldest prince!"
The guards became alert and quickly divided into two teams. One team checked on the eldest prince who was lying in the pile of broken crystals, and the other team surrounded Chi Ruanfan and his attendants.
The attendant hurried forward and protected Chi Ruanfan behind him.
Chi Ruanfan's gaze passed through the gap between the attendants and guards and looked at the shattered crystal wall.
I felt so heartbroken that I wanted to dig a hole and bury the eldest prince.
He loves nothing but sparkling gems.
He then glanced at the eldest prince who was helped up by the guards.
Seeing that he was still conscious, with his swollen face full of disbelief and anger, Chi Ruanfan couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Without differentiation, the body is weak.
If he had already split into two parts, with his speed and strength increased comprehensively, the whip from his tail just now would have seriously injured the eldest prince if not killed.
"What are you still standing there for! Arrest him now!"
The eldest prince was so angry that he swung his tail wildly, pulling at his wound and causing him to grimace in pain.
The attendant protecting Chi Ruanfan glanced at the guards coldly and scolded:
"This is the little princess, the emperor's favorite princess. Who dares to touch her?"
The eldest prince can be arrogant in front of the little princess, but the guards dare not really attack the little princess, even if she is about to marry into the Human Federation.
Isn't she still married? It's possible that something unexpected happened in the meantime.
"Young prince, the marriage is the emperor's decision, please don't make it difficult for us. Please give us the differentiation beads."
As she spoke, the mermaid guard held out a crystal box, inside which lay a pink pearl.
Chi Ruanfan glanced at the pink pearls in the box.
Chi Ruanfan was not unfamiliar with this pill that he had taken in his previous life.
He was originally using the Differentiation Pearl, which arranged various interferences with the eldest prince. With the help of his mind, he differentiated into a male, thus directly canceling the marriage.
"The differentiation bead can be eaten, throw it out of here first." Chi Ruanfan glanced at the eldest prince who was cursing at the side.
The eldest prince, who was held by the guards, turned around suddenly and said, "You still want to embarrass me? You are a rebellion!"
"My lord," the guard advised in a low voice, "The envoys from the Human Federation are still waiting. It is more important to let the little princess differentiate first. When the princess differentiates into a female mermaid and marries the Human Federation, won't you have the final say on everything?"
Chi Ruanfan looked on coldly.
His indecisive brother was quickly persuaded. He just snorted at him, raised his head, and was carried out of the palace with his guards supporting him in a haughty manner.
"Young Master, please."
The guard handed over a box containing the differentiated beads.
Chi Ruanfan gently swam up, stretched out his slender white hands, and picked up the pink pearl.
“Your Highness…” The attendant hurried forward, trying to dissuade him.
Chi Ruanfan gave him a look of "reassurance" and said to the guards brought by the eldest prince, "Change the room."
One side of the wall of this room was knocked down by the eldest prince. He didn't want to stay here and cause trouble.
"Of course." The guard responded, stepped aside slightly to make way, bowed and waited for Chi Ruanfan to come out.
Chi Ruanfan went out to swim.
During this process, the guards brought by the eldest prince stood closely beside him, and all eyes were on him.
He was an undifferentiated mermaid, and with that speed, he definitely couldn't swim faster than these mermaid warriors.
Chi Ruanfan didn't want to escape either.
He entered his bedroom, and the guards scattered around, placing various instruments from the Human Federation in his room.
The guards withdrew one by one and stood guard outside, leaving only one guard and Chi Ruanfan's attendant who did not move.
"Let's go ahead." Chi Ruanfan said to his attendant.
The attendant bowed and left.
There was a secret passage leading into the hall in one of the rooms, so he was not worried.
In the end, the guard stood still and did not move until Chi Ruanfan ate the differentiation bead in front of him, and then he left the room.
As soon as the guard left the room, he heard the door being locked from the inside. An energy shield rose in the water mirror room, blocking all sight.
"Captain." A guard called anxiously.
I can’t see anything. Will the little prince take the opportunity to escape
"Don't worry," said the last guard captain, "Team Two has surrounded the palace from outside. The young prince has also taken the differentiation medicine. After the differentiation is over, he won't be able to run far."
In the room.
Chi Ruanfan lay on the shell bed, feeling the heat gradually rising in his body, followed by weakness in his tail and soreness in his body.
The differentiation began.
Mermaids are born without gender until they meet their beloved mermaid, then they enter the differentiation period and differentiate into male or female.
That is natural differentiation controlled by emotions such as love. There is also a way to force differentiation, which is to eat differentiation beads.
The pink pearls, created from the flesh and blood of the clam, symbolize unforgettable love, but they are used as a tool to forcibly differentiate the mermaids regardless of their own wishes.
On the ceiling, on the crystal walls, on the windows... images were playing everywhere in the room.
Chi Ruanfan watched quietly.
The image showed a spaceship road paved with cold white metal, and a man in a wheelchair approaching at a leisurely pace.
The man was wearing a dark blue military uniform. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, his back was straight, like a sharp sword that could be unsheathed and used to kill the enemy at any time.
As the automatic wheelchair approached, the man's facial features gradually became clear.
He has neat black hair, sharp sword-like eyebrows, cold black eyes, a narrow nose, and thin lips, and he looks solemn and serious.
Further ahead, there is a slender but not thin neck, and a dark blue military uniform that wraps around his muscular body.
This is a marshal who has truly experienced the artillery fire of countless wars.
Faced with such a man, any mermaid in the differentiation stage will inevitably differentiate into a female.
But when the fever subsided, Chi Ruanfan opened his eyes, looked down, and saw his flat but firm chest again.
—He differentiated into male again.
Chi Ruanfan pressed his chest, his expression changing several times.
"how so?"
In his later years, he was resistant to marriage and deliberately differentiated himself in the masculine direction.
But this time, he tried to accept the human marshal, so why did he differentiate into a male
What went wrong
Out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a figure moving outside, and Chi Ruanfan turned his head to look with a sullen face.
The energy shield separates the inside and outside of the two rooms.
The mermaid inside the room can see everything outside, but the mermaid outside cannot see what is inside the room.
Chi Ruanfan saw a human wearing aquatic protective clothing swimming towards him. He was holding a ruby box that the mermaids liked, and was talking to the guards at the door of the room.
The man said it was the language of mermaids.
By identifying his lip movements, Chi Ruanfan figured out that the box contained a space bracelet, which contained all the gifts given to the mermaid princess by the Human Federation.
"Space bracelet..."
Chi Ruanfan knew that he had seized many bracelets from human soldiers, which contained weapons, food, clothes and various other things.
Wait, clothes!
The clothes presented to the mermaid princess must be a human skirt, right
Among mermaids, males do not wear clothes, while females wrap seaweed or shells around their chests.
If Chi Ruanfan wants to marry a foreign princess and successfully infiltrate the human race, he has to disguise himself as a female mermaid.
But he couldn't wear it like a real female mermaid, because he would be exposed at a glance.
He needs a human skirt.
Chi Ruanfan pulled up the silk quilt to cover his body, swam across the window, opened the door, and directly stretched out a hand, saying:
"Since it's a gift for me, please give it to me."
The mermaids are extremely beautiful, both males and females. Before Chi Ruanfan differentiated, she was known as the "Golden Rose of the Deep Sea", so beautiful that many mermaids were fascinated by her.
At this time, he had completed his differentiation, and his demeanor was extraordinary and his appearance was extremely beautiful, so beautiful that one could not look at him directly.
She stretched out her hand, which was also slender, fair, and smooth.
The mermaid guard lowered his head hastily.
The little princess had only a silk quilt to cover her body. It was their negligence that they did not even provide the little princess with any clothes.
No, the little princess has been divided. Now she should not be called the little princess, but the little princess.
The human messenger lowered his head, his cheeks flushed under his protective suit.
Hearing the pure and ethereal voice of the little mermaid, he hurriedly presented the gift box with both hands.
Chi Ruanfan took the box and closed it immediately.
He is a male after all, and the longer he stays, the easier it is for him to be exposed.
If it is exposed, the marriage will not be possible.
Chi Ruanfan never thought that one day he would worry that he would not be able to marry into the royal family.
Different from the peace advocates behind the eldest prince, Chi Ruanfan has always been in favor of war.
His pursuit is to defeat the Human Federation, rescue all artificially bred mermaids, and make the mermaid clan prosperous.
After he became the Mermaid King in his previous life, he did exactly that.
It's just that the Human Federation Marshal named Jinzhu was too difficult to deal with, and he failed until his death.
Mermaids have difficulty reproducing, and Chi Ruanfan is thinking of raising artificial mermaids by humans.
Humans are also eyeing natural mermaids.
The Mermaid Emperor has mermaids, who are called natural mermaids by humans.
Mermaids are born with special powers, and when humans and mermaids combine, they can give birth to humans and mermaids with special powers.
There are too few artificially bred mermaids, and ever since the discovery of a large number of natural mermaids on the Mermaid Planet, humans have been eager to try.
In Chi Ruanfan's previous life, the Mermaid Empire and the Human Federation fought to a loss on both sides.
The number of humans with special abilities has dropped drastically, and the fertility rate, which is of most concern to the mermaids, has been declining again and again, almost facing the crisis of extinction.
Chi Ruanfan was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted after reading a census of the number of mermaids in the imperial family.
When he opened his eyes, he was reborn.
In this life, he learned his lesson, changed his mindset, and instead of confronting the Human Federation head-on, he disintegrated the Human Federation from within!
Thinking of this, Chi Ruanfan skillfully opened the space bracelet, passed by all kinds of sparkling gems, and found where the skirt was placed.
Chi Ruanfan took out a long skirt with a white background and gold patterns, and fiddled with it for a long time before he put it on.
The skirt was made of some unknown material, but it could keep its shape in the water without being soaked by water and revealing the underlying skin color.
Chi Ruanfan was most satisfied with the skirt's chest and upper arms, which bulged like bubbles and perfectly solved his gender disguise.
Chi Ruanfan pushed his long golden hair behind him, straightened his chest, raised his eyes to look at the video that was still playing, and made eye contact with the federal marshal in it.
In the video, which was only a picture but no sound, the marshal with black hair and black eyes seemed to be making some public speech.
His brows were stern and his expression was solemn and serious. This was the look that Chi Ruanfan was most familiar with and hated the most.
Chi Ruanfan curled his lips slightly, smiling charmingly and beautifully, with a determination in his eyes.
"Jinzhu, how can you stop me this time?"
