"Boss, what is this? It smells terrible." Xin Sui asked knowingly.
The cat-eared stall owner slowly raised his head and said weakly, "Stinky Fruit."
Xin Sui: "..."
That's really fitting.
"For sale?"
"Sell it! How much are you offering?"
How much do you want?
How much are you offering?
Xin Sui: "..."
She was afraid that if she kept asking, she would be stuck in a vicious cycle.
After careful consideration, he quoted a price: "20 crystal coins?"
The cat-ear vendor remained silent.
Xin Sui thought he had reported too low a price.
Indeed, such a large mutated durian must yield so much pulp, enough to make countless durian pastries, durian mille-feuille, and durian ice cream...
Thinking about those desserts, she felt that the price of 20 crystal coins was a bit unfair.
He raised his price slightly: "30 crystal coins?"
The stall owner remained silent.
"Boss, is it okay or not? Give me an answer! What do you mean by staying silent? Do you think it's too low?"
"50 crystal coins it is, that's the most I can offer."
"If you like it, I'll take it; if not, then forget it."
The stall owner's ears perked up immediately, and he grinned broadly.
"Hehe, of course it's possible. I originally thought I'd be lucky to sell it for 5 crystal coins."
"I didn't expect you to bid 20 crystal coins right away and keep raising the price. I didn't even have time to react."
Xin Sui: "..."
I really wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
But the durian flesh held her back.
"I want to inspect the goods first," she said, trying to save face.
Stall owner: "Okay, you can open it now."
Xin Sui: "As the stall owner, shouldn't you be the one setting it up for me?"
Stall owner: "But I don't want to move."
Xin Sui: That's outrageous!
I've been speechless all day because of this guy.
How did he manage to survive until now?
Fine, I'll do it myself.
Judging from its color, this durian should be ripe, but it hasn't cracked open yet.
Perhaps it was to protect itself after the mutation.
Just like those sharp thorns on its surface.
Xin Sui took out a large boning knife and walked towards the durian.
Xuan Tu had made her a complete set of kitchen utensils before, but this boning knife hadn't been used yet. It's perfect to use it today.
After some effort, she managed to make an opening in the durian shell.
Break it open, and the flesh is revealed.
Golden in color, thick and plump.
A fresh and sweet scent suddenly opened a direct path through the stench and rushed into her nostrils.
Before she even put it in her mouth, she could already feel the smooth and soft texture of the cheese ice cream.
This is absolutely top-quality durian!
Xin Sui couldn't resist digging out a piece and putting it in his mouth to taste it.
In an instant, she felt as if she had arrived on a golden beach.
Enjoy the warm sunshine, the fresh sea breeze, and the sweet aroma of fruit.
My whole body felt soft, supple, and comfortable—it was wonderful.
Xin Sui licked his lips, still wanting more, and couldn't wait to take the durian back with him.
She paid quickly and was about to put the piece of durian shell back on when something floated over and hid inside the durian first.
Unexpectedly, Xin Sui's eyes met a pair of crystal-clear eyes.
Is this... a mermaid?
The little mermaid was probably only seven or eight years old. She was enveloped in a layer of colorful bubbles, looking terrified, and whispered for help.
"Sister, save me."
These lines sound so familiar.
However, the original words in the novel were—
"Brother, save me."
This little mermaid is, without a doubt, Jenny, who was supposed to meet the male protagonist Shui Duoduo in the novel.
How did she end up running into this again?
Xin Sui wanted to say that she didn't want to steal the male lead's spotlight!
Lou Jiali and Jenny, these heavyweight supporting actresses, are all confidantes prepared for Shui Duoduo.
She, a cannon fodder originally destined for this position, couldn't possibly enjoy such good fortune.
However, at that moment, a patrol team caught up with them.
Patrol officers are the city's security personnel, responsible for various matters such as patrolling, arresting suspects, and maintaining order.
These patrolmen were undoubtedly sent by Crimson Frost.
In the novel, Jenny was captured as soon as she came out of the sea and was then offered to Red Frost, who was the deputy city lord.
She kept it as a pet.
Wait a minute, when Crimson Frost invited her to see the mermaid, was she referring to Jenny?
Given the current situation, Xin Sui naturally couldn't stand idly by while Jenny stood by.
She nodded to the little mermaid and quietly covered the durian shell with it.
With a thought, the villa bound to her soul was summoned and appeared in her palm.
It looks like a miniature toy.
She put the huge durian inside, along with the little mermaid hidden inside.
The cat-ear stall owner was still there counting his crystals.
“...8,9,10…”
The guards, dressed in uniform and wearing helmets, came running over, their heavy boots clattering in the air.
Everyone was armed, which looked very intimidating.
"Have you seen a mermaid?"
The stall owners all shook their heads, "We didn't see it."
They weren't lying; Jenny had floated down from above them.
They don't look up from above all the time, so naturally they didn't see it.
The cat-eared vendor, who should have been watching, was focused on the crystal coins and didn't notice anything else.
Xin Sui, the only one who saw it, naturally wouldn't expose the Little Mermaid as the one who protected her.
When the patrolman asked her, she said she hadn't seen it.
