Gu Xi and a group of sea beasts surrounded the mobile space.

"Is everyone ready?" Gu Xi asked.

"Pfft! Alright, alright, let's go in quickly!" Flame Scale couldn't wait to see the new sea beast.

The octopus clung to Gu Xi's legs, urging her to quickly open the space so it could see the new employee.

Gu Xi manipulated her mental power to open a teleportation space. She entered first, followed closely by the other fish.

Although the space wasn't large, it could still hold a few fish, so after a bunch of fish entered the space, they all crowded around the mermaid.

Flamescale was the fastest. It quickly moved in front of the mermaid, squatted down and poked her body. At the same time, its sharp eyes also noticed the reduced fish food nearby.

"Pfft! It must be hungry after waking up."

Gu Xi nodded, recalling the binding sounds she had heard last night.

"Chirp chirp!" (Why isn't it awake yet?)

"It needs to rest for a while longer, let's not disturb it."

As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, the chubby little ball, who was originally about to approach, immediately stopped.

Everyone stared intently at the fish.

The mermaid's last memory was of eating fish food. She only remembered being bought, and then…

The mermaid, still groggy, trembled as she opened her eyes, her mind replaying her last memories. In her hazy state, she vaguely saw many sea creatures, and it seemed there were also deep-sea beings among them.

It was suddenly startled awake, its previous drowsiness vanishing instantly. It leaped with its tail and plunged into the water, completely forgetting that it was surrounded by other fish and had nowhere to hide.

Seeing its terrified look, Gu Xi asked Ai Si for help to open up mental communication.

"Who...who are you?!"

The mermaid's eyes warily scanned all the fish before finally settling on Gu Xi. Due to the slave contract, she knew he was her buyer. And because of the fish food, she instinctively felt a sense of closeness to Gu Xi.

"Pfft! You're already an S-rank, how can you be so timid?" Flame Scale looked at the new member with some disdain, and added, "Just like a pearl fish!"

"Chirp chirp!" (I'm harmless!) The octopus crawled forward, not forgetting to show off its abilities with its mouth.

As for the few chubby little balls, they stood at a distance, afraid of disturbing it, but their eyes were fixed on the mermaid's shiny scales.

The mermaid didn't speak, she just stared intently at Gu Xi, her eyes filled with conflict.

Gu Xi lightly slapped Yan Lin, then said to the mermaid, "Don't be afraid, they won't hurt you. From now on, you'll live with us."

The mermaid nodded timidly, then looked at the little chubby ball. There was nothing she could do; it had just escaped from the deep-sea creatures, so of course it would instinctively fear them.

"They are guests on the ship, you don't need to worry."

With Gu Xi's reassurance, the mermaid felt much more at ease. She stretched her body and swam towards the edge of the space where Gu Xi had landed.

Gu Xi waved to it and asked its name. It didn't have a name, of course, so Gu Xi eventually named it Ariel.

Ariel has long, fiery pink hair that flows smoothly into the water, swaying gently as she tilts her head back, radiating a captivating glow.

Its lower body is a long fish tail, with neatly arranged white fish scales, each scale shimmering with a faint light, the light like starlight twinkling on the fish tail.

Encouraged by Gu Xi, its tail began to change. The edges of the tail gradually merged and deformed, and the originally wide tail slowly contracted, gradually differentiating into two long legs.

It stood up cautiously, its heart filled with tension.

It walked forward step by step, with Gu Xi encouraging it from the side.

"Yes! You haven't walked here in a long time, have you? Just walk around more often."

Ariel nodded happily and smiled shyly.
