"It's okay, I don't mind."

Hera was about to reach out and grasp it when Tangtang shuddered and pulled her hand back.

"?"

Tang Tang, her voice trembling slightly, apologized, "Yes, I'm sorry, I'm still a little afraid to let you touch me. I'm afraid you'll crush my hand."

"..."

Am I really that scary?!

This was the first time in Hera's life that she had ever been feared by someone.

Tangtang scratched her head, looked around, and then swam in one direction.

Hera had no idea what she was planning, so she could only stay put and wait quietly.

Take this opportunity to observe this beautiful underwater world more closely.

But I don't know why, the more I look at it, the more panicked I feel. Maybe it's because this world is so different from the world I knew before.

Even if you were to tell Hera that she had truly traveled to another world, she would probably believe it.

Suddenly, she seemed to see a black, spiky ball moving around!

The spikes moved slowly like legs, feeling almost alive.

Compared to the enormous creature that swam on it, Hera found this small thing quite peculiar.

She couldn't resist swimming over to take a closer look and see if it was a plant or a living creature.

Just as she swam over, Tangtang returned, holding a green silk ribbon in her hand.

She noticed Hera observing something, so she moved closer and followed her gaze.

"What's wrong? Do you want to eat sea urchin?"

"Huh?" Hera was taken aback. "This thing is edible?"

"Of course you can eat it."

Tang Tang answered naturally, gently grasped the sea urchin with her hand, picked up a relatively sharp stone from the ground, pried it open, and revealed the golden sea urchin roe inside.

"Come and have a taste."

She carefully handed the sea urchin to Hera, who accepted it with a slight tremor.

Is this really edible?

Looking at the yellowish-brown stuff inside the black sea urchin, Hera was terrified that it was the thing she was thinking of.

"It's edible, and it's sweet. I really like it!"

Tangtang looked so sincere that Hera tentatively picked up a small lump with her hand and put it in her mouth.

A sweet and pungent taste filled my mouth, and the soft sea urchin roe could be swallowed without chewing at all.

The taste is pretty good!

Hera picked up another lump and gently put it into her mouth.

It tastes even better now!

She ate it bite by bite.

But Tangtang next to her slowly widened her eyes, and finally froze completely.

"It's so delicious! I've never had anything this good before. Thank you!"

Hera smiled sweetly at Tangtang.

Tang Tang nodded blankly, "No, it's nothing..."

She swallowed hard, and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Um, aren't you humans afraid of getting thorns when you eat?"

"Hmm?" Hera was a little puzzled by this strange question. "Of course I'm afraid of thorns. I usually don't even dare to eat anything hard."

"Then why did you eat all the sea urchin shells?"

Hera was stunned.

She looked at her empty hands and then at the bottom of her feet, but still couldn't find the leftover sea urchin shells.

"Yeah, how could I have eaten this thing too!"

Hera touched her mouth and then her stomach, but there was nothing unusual at all.

My mouth wasn't sore, and my stomach didn't hurt; it was as if I had eaten something very ordinary.

The two of them stood there, stunned and terrified, for quite a while.

"Well, let's forget about that. Let's not dwell on it for now. How about we go back to my place first?"

Seeing that Hera was acting increasingly strangely, Tangtang quickly changed the subject, while raising the green silk in her hand.

Hera gradually calmed down, stopped thinking about this strange thing, and looked at Tangtang.

"What's this?"

"Oh, this is just ordinary seaweed."

It's quite sturdy. You hold onto the other end, and I can take you home.

At the same time, Tangtang was a little worried, afraid that Hera would think that she disliked her.

Hera didn't say much, but held the seaweed in her hand and thanked her softly, "Thank you for your help."

Tangtang breathed a sigh of relief. "Hold on tight, we're about to go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she swam in the water at an extremely fast speed and plunged into the school of fish.

Countless schools of fish swam in the same direction, forming a waterway. Taking advantage of this "ride," the two of them sped through the ocean, breaking through the fish.

Hera then understood why she had been tied to her arm—there were just so many fish here!

All sorts of fish, big and small, were like a fog, making it impossible for Hera to see what was in front of her.

Every now and then, the tails of small fish would slap against my body; it didn't hurt, but it itched.

If it weren't for the seaweed connecting them, Hera would have long since vanished without a trace.

The tightly gripped seaweed began to change direction, pulling Hera out of the water.

"We've arrived. This is my home."

Tangtang loosened the seaweed and pointed to a bunch of strange buildings on the seabed below.

Hera followed her and swam towards the building, where she also got a clear view of the entire structure.

These buildings were built on the foundation of the rock formations, and their general appearance is somewhat like a cave and somewhat like a treehouse.

Tangtang swam to a house and reached out to push aside the curtain woven from seaweed.

"Come in," she said, and then entered the room on her own.

Hera followed her inside, gazing at the thin curtain with a sense of unease.

Isn't she afraid that a thief might break in?

Hera was startled again when she saw the state of the room.

The entire house is connected by a series of thin ropes, and many items float freely inside.

The whole house is like a huge spider hole.

Tangtang, holding onto the thin thread, climbed to the top of the house, untied a net tied to the thread, swam back to Hera, and handed it to her.

"Here, I happen to have an extra one at home. You can use this to sleep for now."

Hera took the net. "This... is for sleeping?"

“Yes.” Tangtang nodded, quickly realizing that Hera was a surface creature, so it was normal that she didn’t know this.

"Oh, sorry, sorry! I forgot you're not a local."

"It's okay, just teach me how to use it."

Hera shook her head and handed the net to Tangtang.

Tang Tang took the net bag, pulled out a thicker rope from it, and tied it to a thinner rope next to her.

Then he actually crawled into the net!

"That's how it's used. This way you won't be afraid of being carried away and can sleep peacefully."

She took the net off and handed it to Hera.

Hera gazed at the magical 'bed,' and her beautiful eyes twitched slightly.
