Chapter 237 Delicious Seafood

And so, the group came and went in a hurry. However, when they arrived, the sea creatures in the shop were admiring their own beauty on the floor.

When they left, they all lined up obediently to exchange their goods. The line was very straight, and not a single sea creature dared to cause trouble.

After exchanging their items, the sea creatures happily headed straight for the area selling mirrors. Seeing the densely packed mirrors of countless shapes, the sea creatures went wild with joy, wanting this one and that one.

Unfortunately, these mirrors were not cheap, and even if they wanted to buy them all, their wallets weren't deep enough. As a result, a scene of people arguing and struggling to decide appeared in the store.

However, Gu Xinyan and the others could not see this scene. At this moment, they had already entered the underwater palace with Ellie and were enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.

The palace was also very uniquely built, with very high outer walls. So they hadn't been able to see what the inside looked like from the outside, but now they could see it clearly.

The palace walls, made of some unknown material, gleamed with a deep blue luster. In addition, the pearls inlaid on the walls were all gold, making them exceptionally beautiful.

Walking along this wall, you'll find a completely different world inside, with paths made of colorful corals, which looks quite unique.

At the end of this coral road stands a magnificent golden castle, entirely golden and extremely tall.

However, the top is not very clear because the very top is submerged in the deep seawater.

Furthermore, the castle gate was very similar to the city gate they had seen when they first arrived; both were carved from huge seashells.

Unlike the previous shell-shaped door, this one had no patterns on it, only inlaid with various dazzling gemstones, which were now shimmering with a mesmerizing light.

On either side of the castle gate stood two mermaid guards, holding weapons and with serious expressions.

But when they saw the arrival of this group, they bowed slightly and gave a salute. Then the two guards knocked on the gate a few times, and the heavy-looking seashell gate was slowly opened.

The moment the castle doors were opened, everyone saw that there were many palaces of all sizes inside, each with its own unique design.

After wandering around these palaces for a while, we finally stopped in front of one of them.

"This is the banquet hall, Sister Gu, please come in with me." Ellie said, and took the lead into the palace in front of her.

Seeing this, Gu Xinyan and the others hurriedly followed. Upon entering, they found themselves in a very spacious and bright hall.

Countless luminous pearls hung from the ceiling of the hall, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime.

In the very center of the hall, there was a long table made of silver coral. The table was large enough to accommodate dozens of people at the same time.

The table was now laden with all sorts of seafood delicacies, but they all appeared to be raw.

There was also cooked food, but it was all black and yellowish, and I had no idea what it was made of; it looked very strange.

It doesn't look as appetizing as those sashimi, shrimp chips, or seaweed salads.

At this moment, Gu Xinyan finally understood. It turned out that the Mermaid King was right. She didn't even eat these cooked dishes, but she thought they didn't taste very good.

She also didn't understand why everything was mashed into a paste. Did the mermaid chef think the mermaid king had bad teeth?

Although she was puzzled, she didn't say anything, while the Mermaid King had already changed into a formal suit.

Wearing a deep blue silk robe and a golden crown, she appeared both majestic and incredibly noble.

Upon seeing Gu Xinyan and her group enter, he quickly stood up and warmly greeted them.

"Everyone, please take your seats. These are all the specialties of the imperial chefs. Please enjoy them."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan and the others smiled and nodded, then sat down one by one on one side of the coral table.

Ellie returned to the Mermaid King's side and sat in her special chair.

As soon as he sat down, he eagerly pointed to the food on the table and began to introduce it:

"Sister Gu, this is Ellie's favorite food. It's a Scarlet Jade Fish. This fish is very tender, melts in your mouth, and has a slightly sweet taste. It doesn't even need any sauce; it's delicious on its own."

And this too, this is baby shrimp, which Ellie also really likes. Sister Gu, you should all try it, it's delicious.”

Listening to Ellie's enthusiastic introduction, Gu Xinyan and the others couldn't help but smile at each other, and then picked up their chopsticks to eat the two dishes that Ellie had just pointed to.

The first thing the group ate was the Scarlet Jade Fish. Just as Ellie had said, it had no fishy smell at all. Instead, it had a sweet taste, was very tender, and truly melted in the mouth, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

The large prawn, entirely red, looked like a ruby. Each slice was as thin as a cicada's wing, and you could vaguely see the view on the other side through the shrimp meat.

Furthermore, the shrimp meat is firm and springy. Although it is not as sweet as the red snapper, it has its own unique freshness and tastes very good.

The merman king, sitting at the very front, watched the others eat with relish, a hint of smugness on his face.

Although his chefs aren't good at making other dishes, their knife skills are quite good, and the freshness of the ingredients is also a major characteristic of their sea tribe.

"Come, come, everyone, try our sea tribe's special drink! It's a drink that's loved by many sea creatures!"

The Mermaid King smiled, picked up a glass of dark green liquid, and raised it towards Gu Xinyan and the others.

Looking at the dark green liquid in their hands, the group's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Is this the most popular drink among sea creatures? If you didn't know, they would think it was a cup of bitter melon juice with something added on it; it looks rather abnormal.

However, since the Mermaid King had already raised his glass, Gu Xinyan and the others quietly picked up the dark green liquid on the table, clinked glasses with the Mermaid King from a distance, and then took a small sip.

After all, they wouldn't dare take a big gulp of this liquid that didn't look very good.

If it doesn't taste good, should they spit it out or not? So, just to be on the safe side, it's necessary to take a small sip.

To their surprise, the icy-cold taste with a hint of sweet and sour was completely different from what they had expected.

The taste was not bitter as they had imagined; on the contrary, it was very refreshing, with a hint of sea saltiness, making for a very rich flavor.
