Chapter 5 The Possibility of Being Put in Jail

Chapter 5 The Possibility of Being Put in Jail

Chapter 5 The Possibility of Being Put in Jail Danjinos looked at her for a while and sneered, “You are a human being, and possibly the weakest of women, regarding your poor physique. Probably giving birth to just one child is already the most difficult task for you.” Poor physique? She was the mainstay of the volleyball team! She could not bear his humiliation anymore. Lu Mengmeng lifted the red wooden table up, and raised her eyebrow to challenge Danjinos. See, boy? I am not weaker. Lu Mengmeng smiled. Zhao Yi was surprise by her strength, and prepared to clap for her. Then Danjinos raised the same table she put down, but he did it with only one finger. The two staff men burst into a cheer for the winner.  “See? This is the difference between you weak human and me, the Mermen King.” Danjinos lifted his chin and gave her a scornful look. “What’s the contribution of your strength to giving birth to a baby?” Lu Mengmeng questioned, “Could you have a baby by yourself, since you are strong enough?” “If I could have a baby, why would I need you?” Lu Mengmeng would rather be drowned in the Amazon waters rather than discuss this kind of topic with him at home. “How about solitary reproduction, like the jellies? You should seriously consider it.” “Dare you compare we Merpeople with the lower animal jellies? From this aspect, we are the same; we are also higher beings like you humans, reproducing seeds by intercourse. The only difference is, we are the stronger, because we have much more fertilized eggs than you.” Much more fertilized eggs! Lu Mengmeng tried her best to not argue with him, or give him a slap on the face. At least, she would not keep her image as a fair maiden. “Congratulations! We found you two have a steady love basis for the marriage. I have taken photos of your communication to submit to the government department. This is a proof that you are suitable for this marriage.” The two staff men smiled like loving mothers looking at the new couple of children discussing their future. “Wait! I strongly recommend you not to take such photos because I won’t accept this marriage,” she said with determination. “Even if you could fertilize 300 million eggs at one time, I won’t.” “Three hundred million is impossible, but five to six thousand is a goal I can try,” Danjinos replied calmly. “Anyway, it’s useless, because you can’t deliver that many.” Mengmeng’s face turned red immediately, not because of shyness, but of anger. She was stopped by one of the staff before she had time to strike back. “Miss Lu, we should let you know that according to the law of the Creature Circle, you can’t break the marriage agreement singly on your side, since you are already engaged to Mr. Danjinos. Or you will be put in jail.” Lu Mengmeng was stunned. Though she did not fully understand what he said, she got the meaning of the word “jail.” The staffer pa.s.sed her a legal doc.u.ment copy to show her the related term, and explained, “According to the law of the Creature Circle a.s.sociation, human beings cannot deny any engagement with any rare creature. Those who break this term should be put in jail under the charge of doing harm to the environment. This term applies to all countries in the Creature Circle a.s.sociation. No person or inst.i.tution can disobey it.” “So, I should marry you?” Mengmeng asked Danjinos. He nodded, with an elegant smile. Mengmeng almost could not help crying out. “Then, may I ask another question?” Danjinos was confused but nodded for her to continue. “Could you leave my home now?” “Em . . . no. Because I have bought this house from your parents with photographic equipment valued at 300 million.” . . . They sold this house? Where shall I go? Sleep on the street? Danjinos embraced her lovingly. “Don’t worry, Mengmeng. I have put your name on the property ownership certificate. Now this house is our home.” Lu Mengmeng felt a deeper desperation at hearing this comfort than knowing that her house was sold. If she got a chance to write an epitaph, she would inscribe the following on her tombstone: “Born to repay the pre-life debts to her parents. Died of the Amazon Jungle.”
