Extraterrestrial civilization clearly refers to alien civilizations that exist outside of Earth. It doesn't mean civilizations outside of land, okay? Why do you like making puns and misusing words so much?!"
John Joyce and the others were internally screaming, but they didn't dare to show any signs of discomfort on their faces, lest they attract the governor's attention or be remembered by Li Ang and suffer unfair treatment later on.
"Diplomatic incident..."
The governor's wife murmured the phrase to herself, ignoring her son tugging at her sleeve.
Gradually, the pallid look on the noblewoman's face was replaced by joy and excitement.
She gently patted her son's hand, nodded at Li Ang, and stopped speaking.
"All diplomatic incidents must be given the utmost importance and resolved with the utmost caution."
Li Ang said with a smile, "This mermaid doesn't seem to hold citizenship in the Ruen Kingdom, so she can be considered a foreigner in principle.
The Ruen Kingdom has always treated foreign friends with great hospitality, and we wouldn't easily resort to fighting and killing, as that would be too detrimental to harmony."
The governor's wife's eyes lit up, and she said to the black mermaid with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes, all visitors are guests. The citizens of our Ruen Kingdom have always been hospitable and would never intentionally disrupt harmony."
Peter's eyes widened, and he tugged at his mother's sleeve, "But Mom! She committed stalking! She violated my personal privacy and performed… indescribable despicable acts while I was unconscious, almost causing me to have a mental breakdown!"
"What stalking crime?"
The governor's wife frowned and slapped her son's hand. "That happened on the high seas, and this mermaid doesn't understand human laws. Ignorance is bliss,
Besides, she is your betrothed wife."
"Huh?"
Peter never expected to be sold out by his own mother so quickly. From her tone, she not only didn't mind the Taylor family's bloodline being tainted, but was also actively trying to match him with this… monster.
"But…"
Peter wanted to argue, but his mother impatiently dragged him out of the room and lectured him with a serious face, "Peter, I wouldn't want her to enter our home if I had a choice,
But now this has become a diplomatic incident, understand?
She represents not only herself, but also an unknown kingdom of unknown size, which is very likely to be extremely large.
If you can get along with her and help the Ruen Kingdom formally establish diplomatic relations with the mermaid kingdom, that will be a great achievement no less than Her Majesty the Ice Queen conquering the giant race!
The Taylor family will be shrouded in unparalleled glory.
Your father can also go further, and even… the position of the next governor of the Ruen Kingdom may not be out of reach."
"But, but..."
"There are no buts."
The governor's wife's expression became solemn, "All family members must prioritize maintaining the family's interests. When necessary, necessary sacrifices must be made."
Hearing his mother's teachings, Peter pursed his lips tightly. He had heard the phrase "family interests first" since he was a child, and he didn't have the courage to disobey or resist.
Seeing Peter's silent appearance, the governor's wife stroked her son's cheek with heartache and sighed, "Alright, cheer up. If you mind her appearance… I heard that in some secret cult, there is a magic potion that can change people's aesthetic views,
I'll find a way to get you a bottle when the time comes."
Peter nodded silently, and the two returned to the secret room together, only to find that the governor and the others had somehow brought in another sofa and let the black mermaid lie on it. They were chatting happily, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
The governor's wife, like an experienced politician, put on a harmonious, friendly, and affable smile, "What are you talking about?"
"We're talking about the establishment of diplomatic relations between the mermaid kingdom and Ruen."
The governor smiled and said to his wife, "Maria, that is, this mermaid, is the two hundred and eighth child of the mermaid queen, and also the youngest and most beloved. She is the future queen of the mermaid kingdom.
She is very interested in the creations of human civilization on land and believes that the two sides can exchange what they have and promote each other.
In the near future, we can develop into a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, achieve a qualitative improvement in relations between the two countries, and jointly open a new era of common development for both sides.
The marriage between Peter and Maria is not just a marriage between a new couple, but also a witness to the friendship between humans and mermaids, which will give a new positioning and connotation to the relationship between the two sides.
It is of milestone significance for the development of relations between the two sides, and on a larger scale, it can be said to be conducive to world peace, stability, and prosperity."
The governor's remarks were very skillful, and most people couldn't understand them at all,
Only when Peter came in did the black mermaid obviously become a little nervous and slightly straightened her sitting posture.
The governor gave his son a stern look, and Peter barely mustered up the courage to look at the black mermaid and greet her with a smile that was uglier than crying.
Perhaps pregnant women are a bit strange-tempered. Peter had been cowering just now, and the mermaid hadn't shown much expression,
But after Peter reluctantly greeted her, the mermaid's face turned heartbroken, and she lowered her head, "It seems that Peter doesn't like me very much..."
Seeing the mermaid fall into self-pity, the governor quickly comforted her for a while, but his comfort didn't seem to have much effect. He coughed slightly and signaled Li Ang next to him to speak.
Li Ang sighed helplessly and gave the governor a look of "I understand," and said to the mermaid in a calm tone: "Maria, don't be too sad for a scumbag. Women have to be strong. If you rely on others, you will always be a princess.
If you rely on yourself, you are the queen!"
"???"
The governor looked at Li Ang in confusion. I asked you to persuade her, not to persuade her like this!
But Li Ang continued to persuade, "A philosopher named Migu once said, what is most important for a woman? It is that you are responsible for earning money to support the family, and I am responsible for being beautiful,
To see if he loves you, see how much money he can give you to spend,
To see if he loves you, see how much he can tolerate you being difficult.
To see if he loves you, see if he can empty your shopping cart.
What is it like for a boy to love someone to the fullest? I don't pay a penny for the house. He should work hard on his own, plus his parents' lifetime savings, to buy a house that should be in your name, otherwise he doesn't love you and is calculating you.
I heard that a female friend of mine, who is divorced, has a bad family, is unemployed, and opened a small store selling groceries, finally found a man who is 14 years younger than her when she was in her 40s. He is very handsome, has studied abroad, has money at home, travels in a luxury carriage, and is very good to her.
There is another female friend, a 37-year-old leftover woman, whose family is from the countryside and whose economic conditions are very average, working as a secretary in a small company. Not long after, she found a rich second generation, the kind who has mines at home. Maybe the rich second generation was tired of playing for too long, and then they got together.
There is also a leftover woman, 34, graduated from a vocational school, fat, black, and short, from a rural family, with parents who have diseases, but she met the conductor on the train, who was white, tall, handsome, and young. Now the two are happily together,
So you must stick to your own standards and choices and never be influenced by others.
Isn't he just a governor's son? Leave him and find a new one. We won't take this lying down."
