My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 91 Bro! I’m kneeling, I’m your blood brother2

Ye Shen raised his eyebrows in surprise, not expecting a girl from Prison Star to be so knowledgeable.

Ye Shen said, "That’s right, but that’s just the perception of the land-dwellers. In reality, the residents of all four continents have adapted to Darwin’s theory of evolution and continued to propagate and thrive under the sea. They consider themselves ocean people and think themselves superior, disdaining any interaction with land-dwellers. Hence, land-dwellers are unaware of their existence. If it weren’t for my mother, land-dwellers might still be unaware of the existence of a technologically advanced Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean. This is what you call a hierarchy of contempt, understand?"

Si Mingjing nodded. "I understand, the omnipresent hierarchy of contempt. Even on land, it can’t be avoided, with whites despising blacks, the rich looking down on the poor, and Earthlings scorning people from Prison Star."

Ye Shen snapped his fingers. "Exactly."

Si Mingjing asked, "Then what about your brother sending you to the Mu Continent as a hostage?"

Ye Shen grew agitated as he spoke. "It’s all because after my brother assumed real power, he ended the isolationist policies. He then implemented a series of new ones that led the Atlantis Empire to join the United Nations, opening up the new undersea world to land-dwellers. My brother encouraged ocean people to travel, study, and do business on land. Likewise, he encouraged land-dwellers to appreciate the undersea scenery and to study and do business under the sea. This, however, caused dissatisfaction among the other three Undersea Empires. My brother practically aroused public outrage.

"The other three countries pride themselves on being ocean people and feel they must be superior to land-dwellers. How could they allow land-dwellers to gaze into their world? My brother’s reforms involved opening up, allowing what they called the ’lower world’ access to their ’higher world.’ The other three nations saw this as a disgrace. They considered my brother and the Atlantis Empire traitors to the ’higher world,’ and now they’re eyeing Atlantis with hostile intent!

"The three countries have now formed an alliance. If I go to the Mu Continent as a hostage, it might temporarily alleviate the tense international undersea situation. But I really don’t want to sacrifice myself for the country! I grew up in A Country and was even listed as a national treasure mermaid there. I should be considered a land-dweller, right? You tell me, should I renounce my undersea nationality and just focus on being A Country’s national treasure merman?"

Si Mingjing sympathized with Ye Shen. It truly wasn’t easy being Mo Yinhe’s brother. All that thankless work, and the moment Mo Yinhe was displeased, it became brother against brother, sending Ye Shen off to be a hostage.

Si Mingjing furrowed her brows and asked again, "Is the Mu Continent more powerful, or is the Atlantis Continent more powerful?"

Ye Shen made a comparison. "Miss Si, let me put it this way: The Mu Continent is in the Pacific Ocean with a land area of 35 million square kilometers, roughly equivalent to the combined area of North and South Americas. The Atlantis Empire is located in the Atlantic Ocean, with a land area of 10 million square kilometers. Lemuria is in the Indian Ocean, with a land area of 16.45 million square kilometers. Gendaya lies in the waters between the African Continent and the South American Continent, with a land area of 6 million square kilometers. Of course, a country’s strength isn’t directly proportional to its land area. On land, a large country isn’t necessarily a developed one, and the same logic applies to undersea countries. In any case, in my heart, our Atlantis Empire is the strongest. Under my brother’s wise rule, I’m sure it will eventually become the leader of the four nations!"

Si Mingjing analyzed Ye Shen’s words and concluded, "So, it’s not yet the leader of the four nations?"

"You..." Ye Shen trailed off. He was fiercely patriotic! This line of conversation couldn’t continue. He quickly changed the subject, "Ever heard the saying ’kings don’t meet’? The king of the Mu Continent still hasn’t met my brother; he must consider him a rival of equal standing!"
