Qin Feiyang also felt uncomfortable.
Heart Knot.
Just hearing the name sounds so ambiguous, he thought. It seems Princess Mermaid and I haven't reached that level of intimacy, have we?
"Ahem!"
The Mermaid King cleared his throat and said, "The appearance of this Heart Knot means you two are to become husband and wife."
"What?"
They were both stunned.
The Mermaid King chuckled. "To put it bluntly, the Heart Knot will only disappear after you consummate your marriage."
"Isn't this... isn't this a forced marriage?" Qin Feiyang stammered, utterly dumbfounded.
Setting aside the Heart Knot for a moment, there's Princess Mermaid. She's indeed very beautiful, but her lower half is a fish tail! How are we supposed to consummate the marriage? This is beyond outrageous!
Princess Mermaid glanced up at Qin Feiyang, her cheeks flushing involuntarily. "Father," she asked, "is there no other way?"
"No, there isn't."
"The Heart Knot signifies that your hearts will become one."
