Chapter 222 Shell Bag

Thinking this, he couldn't help but hum a little tune to himself, and carrying a basket full of things, he arrived at the store entrance.

Then he placed the large basket of snacks, drinks, fresh fruit, and a bottle of alcohol on the table.

"Ellie, take all of these back with you. This bottle of wine is for your father, and the rest are for you. Quickly put them away."

Please don't refuse, this is all our reward for you. We'll have to trouble our little Ellie to put in a good word for us with your father!

"We're trying to get your father's permission to do business here!" Gu Xinyan said with a smile to Ellie, who was a little embarrassed.

Ellie, who was already a little embarrassed, blushed even more upon hearing this, since even in the underwater city, they needed to spend shell coins to buy things.

And taking other people's things for free always makes her feel embarrassed.

But after hearing Gu Xinyan's words, she paused for a moment, then nodded her head firmly and solemnly assured the group:

"Don't worry, I will definitely persuade my father, absolutely!"

Seeing her serious expression, Gu Xinyan found it amusing, and her hands itched to rub it! After suppressing this urge, she finally spoke:

"Okay, then I'll leave it to our little Ellie!"

Ellie blushed at these words. Seeing that it was getting late, she knew she couldn't delay any longer, or things would get complicated if her father came looking for her.

So he took a seashell off his neck and tapped it with his fingers.

Immediately afterwards, the small pink seashell grew larger in front of them, until it became as big as a small mountain, and then it stopped.

Then, Gu Xinyan and the others saw Ellie carrying a full basket of things, swinging her golden fish tail, and gliding into the small mountain of seashells.

When he came out again, he had nothing in his hands. Finally, under the curious gazes of the others, he tapped the small mountain of seashells in front of him once more.

Then the mountain-sized seashell began to shrink instantly until it returned to the size it had been when they first saw it. Ellie then put it back on and wore it around her neck.

Gu Xinyan and the others: "........."

How should I put it? It's just... amazing!

They initially thought it was just an ordinary seashell necklace, but they never expected it to be so 'extraordinary'—not only extraordinary, but also incredibly 'showy'!

Perhaps noticing their surprised looks, Ellie held up the pink seashell she was wearing around her neck and explained softly:

"This is what we call a seashell bag. It can change size, and it can hold a lot of things. It's very useful."

It's made from the shell of a Roro-Beetle, and you can find it for sale in the market of the underwater city. They come in all sorts of colors, but I like the pink one. I have many of those.

I'll bring them all with me next time I come. I received so many things from you today, so you should also accept the seashell bag!

Alright, I'll be going now. Otherwise, if I'm late, my father and the others will be back, and they'll definitely be angry if they don't see me. When I see my father later, I'll find time to tell him about you all.

Also, before we arrive, you should stay here and not venture into other sea areas. If you are spotted by other sea tribes, it will be dangerous.

After Ellie finished speaking and received their assurances, she waved her little hand at them again, then flicked her tail and quickly paddled towards the sea.

After Ellie's figure disappeared into the sea, Gu Xinyan and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally Milair sighed.

"So this is a mermaid! She's really pretty! And her seashell bag is so cute too! I want one."

"Yes, yes, I want one too! It looks so cool! It's so tiny, yet it can grow so big. It's amazing!" Gu Xinya nodded repeatedly, indicating that she wanted one too.

Not only these two, but Gu Xinyan and Yan Xiyun also really wanted it, and even the three men, including Lu Yunting, were no exception.

Although the color was a bit too pink, Ellie from The Little Mermaid had just mentioned that there were other colors, which made the three of them quite eager to try them out.

Although they each have a spatial ring, it doesn't stop them from having a seashell bag that can change size. How could they not want a seashell bag that can grow bigger or smaller?

The group chattered excitedly about the seashell bag, while on Huaxia Yunyang Island, a soldier who had just come in to buy something noticed a neatly folded piece of white paper lying quietly in a tray as he passed the exchange machine.

"I wonder who's so bored as to put paper here." Saying this, he was about to take the paper out of the exchange device tray.

Upon hearing this muttering, the soldier on guard seemed to have a sudden realization, and he quickly stepped forward, grabbing the neatly folded piece of white paper first.

Seeing the familiar way the folding was done, he turned around, said something to another teammate on guard duty, and then hurriedly left.

The soldier who was about to take out the paper was completely bewildered, not knowing what was going on. But in the next second, his question was answered.

"That piece of paper, if nothing unexpected happens, should have been sent back by Miss Gu. But didn't they just return yesterday? Why did they suddenly send a message back? Could something have happened?"

Another soldier on guard, seeing his puzzled expression, explained the situation to him, though he himself was also somewhat confused.

The time-traveling team just returned yesterday, and I didn't hear they were going on a mission today! Why are they sending a message? I don't understand!

Not only was he confused, but Commander Zhang, who had just finished reading the letter, was also completely dumbfounded. Those little brats, they went out to sea and ended up time-traveling?

Not only were the members of the time-traveling team present, but even Milair and her grandson were there. The only one missing was Xiaobai. What about the portal in the deep sea? The Saint Luo Continent? The mermaid?

Individually, they're all fine, but put together, they almost left him speechless. Should he say these people were lucky or unlucky?

In the short time it took to go out to sea, the group simply disappeared. If it weren't for this letter, he probably wouldn't know anything at all.

Now that Xiaobai has gone out to visit friends, these few rascals have unexpectedly time-traveled again.

Now things are really messed up. What was supposed to be two-way communication has become one-way. They can only receive messages here, but they can't send them. It's really...
