The little biscuit next to the shop door came to life, and Liuye poked her little head out and happily talked.

"Liuye? Didn't you go to the Spirit Healing Forest with them?"

Aside from Xinghai Town, Haiyao mostly stayed in the City Lord's Building. She was quite familiar with the Su Sheng descendants and had met Liu Ye and the others a few times with Su Yuan.

"Sister Haiyao!"

Liu Ye naturally recognized Hai Yao, and the two greeted each other. The mermaid girl then drove her wheelchair to the shop to buy desserts, taking out a small seashell from her hand.

Inside were some coins she had saved.

"My sisters went to the Forest of Healing with me, but they made me stay behind to work. Only when we earn enough money can we all live happily together!"

"Then get back to work. Have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet, I plan to go to the hospital for the free meal after I'm done with my work!"

Ryuha gazed at the mermaid girl beside her carrying a large paper bag of food and couldn't help but lick her lips.

Haiyao pinched Liuye's cheek that was peeking out from under the doll's clothes.

She was well aware of the immense power of these descendants of the Ancient Ones; their extremely precious blood could easily fetch a fortune by being sold to other tribes.

However, Su Yuan explicitly forbade the sale of blood. Unless a hospital patient was seriously injured and needed their help, they were not allowed to buy or sell blood under normal circumstances.

However, Su Yuan did not prohibit the sale of other liquids, but the three sisters were too embarrassed to sell them and ultimately decided to earn money through their own efforts.

"Then I'll treat you to this."

Haiyao shared some of the mermaid girl's portion with Liuye, and the two waved goodbye before leaving the dessert shop.

Inside the teleportation array, as the sun shone brightly in the sky early, the city returned to its most bustling time. The other merfolk also mustered their courage and pushed their wheelbarrows into the city.

The novel scene even drew the attention of some Wood Spirits, who were dressed like rag dolls and showed no fear of the mermaids.

The little creatures frolicked and played in the water in the wooden tub.

"Hahaha, it itches so much! Come out quickly, I'll hold you down in a bit!"

The mermaid's tail scales, hidden underwater, were gently scratched.

The splashing water startled several little wooden spirits, who quickly flew out, their bodies soaking wet. They shook off the water from their wings and hair and started playing again.

"Have you finished your mission? You're just playing around here!"

Suddenly, another figure appeared floating in mid-air from the teleportation array.

It was a bit bigger than the other wood spirits, and it paused a few times when it spoke, but you could still make out what it was saying.

After discovering the situation, a few little wood spirits chirped a few times and immediately fled the scene, scattering the mischievous little creatures around them.

The large Wood Spirit's eyes held no reproach, but rather a look of doting affection. More and more Wood Spirits are now regaining more intelligence, just like her.

With Mother's continued recovery, everyone will eventually be able to return to their former state.

It may even give birth to more new Wood Sleep Spirits!

"But the most important thing right now is to finish my own task first!"

Suppressing her anticipation, she looked towards the location of the city lord's building on the mountain, gently flapped her wings, and hurriedly flew towards that top floor.
