Chapter 145 Rice Mochi and Male Fish

Mermaids, known as Quanxian in the Guixu Realm, are considered the most mysterious ethnic group among the ten continents and three islands.

Most of them live alone and leave their families when they reach adulthood, so when people meet the Quanxian people, it is mostly just one or two of them.

For example, now, under the moonlight, the lonely Quan Xian sat on the reef, looking at Bai Chenxue and Shen Yun curiously.

Bai Chenxue asked hesitantly, "It seems that she is not a famous name. How about... go over and say hello? Maybe I can buy some mermaid silk?"

Shen Yun also suddenly realized and thought he had guessed the truth. He said, "I knew there would be new plots after the Ten Thousand Mountains map was opened! Maybe it's about contact with the Quanxian tribe!"

"Eh? Is that really the case?"

Shen Yun was full of confidence: "What else? In a map as big as the Ten Thousand Mountains, there is not a single new force discovered! It's like a pure wilderness scene! It's impossible that we opened the map for nothing, right? This must be a new plot! Or some hidden mission! Come on, let's go over and see if we can have some communication!"

As he spoke, Shen Yun took the lead and walked towards the reef where the Quanxian tribe was, shouting as he walked: "Hey! Friends over there! Aloha! We are disciples of the Taiyin Sect! Excuse me, are you from the Quanxian tribe?"

Bai Chenxue followed behind Shen Yun. After hearing his greeting, she reminded him weakly, "Xiao Yun, this... he probably doesn't understand what 'Aloha' means, right?"

Shen Yun also whispered back: "It doesn't matter! Even if we don't speak the same language, people's emotions can be conveyed through body movements and voice tones!"

"You are... cultivators of the human race?"

Unexpectedly, the two heard a voice "spoken" by spiritual power, which echoed in their ears like a mixed sound.

Bai Chenxue quickened her pace, trotting away, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, yes! We! Huh, we are, huh, huh, the cultivators of the Taiyin Sect!"

When the two got closer, they could see Quanxian's appearance clearly under the moonlight.

Long silver hair was half wet and draped over her shoulders, and she wore a headdress made of black pearls. Her eyes were a light blue with a hint of green, like two Paraiba stones. The fins on her elbows and the scales on her tail were silver-blue, gleaming with colorful light under the moonlight, as beautiful as a glass ornament.

“So… so beautiful…”

Bai Chenxue was almost stunned, her eyes sparkling.

Shen Yun was also amazed until he saw the other person's open chest... Oh, such a beautiful man turned out to be a male mermaid!

"Thank you! My name is Coral!"

The ethereal voice came again from all directions.

Bai Chenxue quickly replied: "My name is Cai Cai! His name is Yun Canghai! We are both disciples of the Taiyin Sect!"

Shen Yun noticed that the other party did not open his mouth when speaking, but was purely communicating with them through spiritual power, so he could not help but ask: "Excuse me, is this how the Quanxian people use spiritual power to speak?"

"That's not the case. I just can't speak well enough."

As soon as the ethereal voice fell, Shanhu opened his mouth and said haltingly and unskillfully: "I haven't met a human for a long time, so I haven't spoken for a long time."

Bai Chenxue waved her hands quickly: "Ah! It's okay, it's okay! You can say whatever you want!"

Shen Yun became more curious: "You Quanxian people don't talk to each other? Then how do you communicate?" Shanhu readily switched back to the spiritual power communication method and explained: "We communicate with spiritual consciousness. If the cultivation is sufficient, we can communicate with each other thousands of miles away!"

Bai Chenxue didn't pay close attention to the settings in the game, and was even more confused: "Spiritual communication?"

"We have to reach the Nascent Soul stage to do this. It's a bit like communicating with the mind or transmitting secret sounds."

Shen Yun pulled Bai Chenxue's sleeve and whispered.

"Oh! Then, then you don't interact with humans? No trade? No business?"

Coral thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe sometimes, but there is everything in the sea, so there is no need to make any trades!"

"Hey! Are you bragging? I definitely don't have that!"

As Bai Chenxue spoke, she took out a bamboo cup from her gaming backpack, and a sweet aroma immediately emanated from the cup.

"This is……"

Bai Chenxue handed the bamboo cup forward and said excitedly, "This is called milk tea! There's rice mochi in it! I bought it to stock up, and I happened to see it here, so I'll give it to you to try!"

Shen Yun stared at the bamboo cup in shock: "No, it's rice mochi!? Sister Yaya even made a replica of this thing!?"

"Hehe! Unexpected, right? This is a new product! It's just very expensive. It is said that because it can only be ground by hand, she gave her employees a raise to grind it to supply a limited amount of dozens of cups a day! And Sister Yaya said that she also invested in a research institute because she couldn't stand the days without grinders and wall breakers!"

Bai Chenxue whispered, then turned around and began to teach Shanhu step by step: "Look, this is a wooden spoon. Although it looks very simple, it can still be used. Just do as I did and dig at the bottom. All the rice and mochi will sink to the bottom!"

Coral held the bamboo cup curiously, then took the wooden spoon and dug into the bottom of the cup, imitating what Bai Chenxue had just done. Sure enough, a large lump of milky white gelatinous substance was dug up.

Bai Chenxue said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! That's it! Rice mochi! It's delicious!"

Coral first leaned close to the rice mochi in the spoon and smelled it. A rich, strange sweet fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose. It was the smell of food he had never tasted before.

After examining the food, he looked again at the two human cultivators in front of him who were barely at the foundation-building stage. After hesitating for a moment, he put the rice mochi in the wooden spoon into his mouth.

The dense, soft and smooth rice mochi swirled in his mouth and then slid down his throat. The sweet taste was something he had never tasted before, rich, thick, and with a slight milky smell - it was really strange! The milky taste that he used to think was fishy was miraculously not so offensive to him at this moment! He asked in a dry voice, like a parrot: "This is called... rice mochi?"

"Yeah! What you're eating is called 'rice mochi'! But what's in this bamboo tube is actually called 'milk tea'! As the name suggests, it's a drink made of milk and tea! 'Rice mochi' is just a small ingredient, uh, it's equivalent to... a side dish!"

Bai Chenxue introduced more enthusiastically: "You can try drinking a sip of milk tea and eating a bite of rice mochi, it tastes better!"

In the private chat interface that only Bai Chenxue and Shen Yun could see, she sent the following message: "Now that we have bribed the mermaid sister, we shouldn't be rejected when we ask for Jiao Xiao later, right?"

"I don't think so. After all, we are buying, not robbing!"

Shen Yun replied: "Besides, I'm a Pisces man."
