My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 404 Si Lisao, Son-in-law Who Comes to the Door! 1

The Minister of Foreign Affairs was overcome with shock. "Crown Prince, you can’t be serious, can you? You are a noble member of the Dragon Clan, and Ye Siyuan is a noble member of the Mermaid Clan. If you marry her, what breed will your future offspring be?"

Si Lisao’s lips curved slightly, a restrained smile playing at the corners. "Perhaps a Little Liyu will be born, and someday it might leap through the Dragon Sect."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs was stunned into silence. After a moment, he stammered, "Crown Prince, that joke is not at all funny."

"Do you think it’s a joke?" Si Lisao replied coldly. "Isn’t the Little Xiangru born to Mo Yinhe and my little sister a Little Liyu?"

Although Mo Yinhe was not a mermaid, his genes certainly contained mermaid DNA. The child he had with my little sister, Little Xiangru, was neither a mermaid nor a Little Dragon. It would need to strive on its own to someday leap through the Dragon Sect.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs was once again left speechless, unable to offer any rebuttal.

After some thought, he spoke reluctantly, "Crown Prince, do you really want your future child to have to struggle so hard to become a member of the Dragon Clan? What parent wouldn’t want their child to be born with a silver spoon in their mouth in Rome City? Not to mention whether they can eventually succeed in leaping through the Dragon Sect, which parent would want their child to endure such hardships?"

"Those who would achieve great things must first endure trials that temper their resolve, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies," Si Lisao stated, his voice cool and harsh, tinged with a sardonic self-mockery. "As a son of Si Lisao, if he cannot even endure such suffering, then he has no need to be born from my woman’s womb, nor to choose me as his father! Moreover, do you think that by merely planting a seed, I will reap a Little Dragon? None of my brothers can produce one; otherwise, we wouldn’t be fighting over the Little Dragon my little sister bore! So, whom I marry and what offspring I might have in the future—what difference does it make? It surely won’t be a Little Dragon, that much is certain!"

Having heard that Si Lisao’s mind was made up, the Minister of Foreign Affairs changed tactics and continued to persuade, "Crown Prince, do you truly wish to marry the Second Princess of Atlantis? You must know we have always opposed Mo Yinhe’s political beliefs. Now, by marrying his sister, aren’t you signaling to the nations that you approve of Mo Yinhe’s policy of open relations with the terrestrial countries? This must not happen!"

Si Lisao sent a cold retort, a sneer inadvertently touching his lips. "Didn’t you say that killing one Quan Yong was far from sufficient?"

"Uh..." the Minister of Foreign Affairs trailed off. So, is sending a princess from Atlantis the only way to appease His Highness’s anger? He might have a clever plan, but it all depends on whether Mo Yinhe is willing, doesn’t it? Mo Yinhe is famously doting on his sister. He’d probably send his own brother as a hostage before he’d send his sister to marry for peace, right?

The Minister of Foreign Affairs felt that Crown Prince Lisao was indulging in wild fantasies but dared not voice this.

Confirming over and over again, the Minister asked earnestly, "Crown Prince, do you wish the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to formally request Mo Yinhe to send his own sister for a marriage alliance? Are you sure? Truly sure? Please think it over carefully!"

Si Lisao gave only a single, obscure command, "Go and plan it out well."

BOOM! BOOM!

The Minister of Foreign Affairs felt as if thunder was rolling over his head; he could almost foresee the storm of blood and gore that was to come.

To be on the safe side, he decided it would be prudent to first test the waters in Atlantis.

Thus, the Minister put on a disguise, created an alternate account, and replied beneath a trending topic, "Haha, daring to assassinate our esteemed Crown Prince Lisao, a single Quan Yong’s death is not enough? I think this was done under the direction of Mo Yinhe from Atlantis. To calm Crown Prince Lisao’s anger, Mo Yinhe should send his dear sister Ye Siyuan to Crown Prince Lisao. Otherwise, let’s go to war; I’ll be the first to enlist!"

Unfortunately, this comment sank without a trace upon posting, failing to stir up even a ripple.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, unwilling to give up, then ordered the civil servants in his department to hype up the topic.

So all the civil servants from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, disguised in their alternate accounts, went to comment.

They even hired a bunch of internet trolls, and in less than half an hour, they had stirred up the fervor.

"That’s right, tell Mo Yinhe to send his own sister to the Mu Continent as a token of his sincere apology, or it’s war, no negotiation!"

"@Mo Yinhe, either send the peace-bonding princess over, or let’s go to war, you choose!"

The Minister of Foreign Affairs kept a close eye on the trending topics. If the public shows support, we’ll start planning to pressure Mo Yinhe into sending the peace-bonding princess. If the sentiment shifts...

Just as these thoughts were running through his mind, a new trending topic appeared on the list: [How desperate is the Mu Continent for peanuts?]

Clicking on the trending search, to his surprise, he saw a reply from Mo Yinhe himself.

Mo Yinhe’s reply was, "Give me your address, and I’ll send you a couple of peanuts."

When the netizens of Atlantis saw this, they all joined in, quickly boosting the peanut topic even higher.

"Hahaha, our Crown Prince Yinhe has actually entered the fray himself, responding to a random comment. True to his reputation as the number one sister-doting maniac!"

"Exactly! If they’d had even two peanuts, they wouldn’t be *this* drunk talking such nonsense."

"The assassination attempt on Crown Prince Lisao was a personal act by Quan Yong! He has already been executed on the spot. Still expect us to offer a peace-bonding princess? Dream on!"

"Our Second Princess of Atlantis is the most revered Mermaid, the sacred and inviolable Sea God in our hearts. Send her off to the Mu Continent to become a peace-bonding princess? Even though we all live undersea, if you bother to swim to the surface, you should know the sun doesn’t rise in the west!"

"Isn’t the Mu Continent a place where women are revered, and men marry into their wives’ families? If Crown Prince Lisao truly wishes to marry our esteemed Second Princess, he should take the initiative to come to Atlantis and become such a son-in-law. We’d welcome him with open arms!"

"Either he comes here to be a live-in son-in-law! Or, if he has the guts, let him come and fight! We’re not afraid of him!"

The netizens of Atlantis were no pushovers. Seeing that their Crown Prince himself had personally jumped into the online argument, how could they not grab their keyboards and go all out?

The Minister of Foreign Affairs from the Mu Continent carefully browsed through the comments, one by one, his temples throbbing. As expected, this is pure fantasy, he thought.

I wish I could screenshot all these comments and send them to Si Lisao! the Minister of Foreign Affairs fumed internally.

「On the other side, Ye Siyuan had already returned to the palace.」

After taking a bath, she lay in bed scrolling through the trending topics and came across two new ones.

One was: [Ye Siyuan, the peace-bonding princess!]

One was: [Si Lisao, a son-in-law!]

Her heart skipped a beat. What did this mean?

She opened both trending topics, her breath catching in her throat. I’m willing! The words were on the tip of her tongue.

Several times she had the text ready, just a click away from posting.

Fortunately, reason intervened. As a girl, I absolutely can’t do something that devalues myself like this. No matter how much I like Si Lisao, I can’t become a peace-bonding princess! Wouldn’t that completely disgrace Atlantis?
