Zuo Qingya listened from the side, never expecting that the cursed mermaid had such a touching story. Zuo Qingya thought that she could never do what Princess Lana did.
Jane Claire cried, tears streaming down her face: "Daddy! Princess Lana is so great."
Luther patted Jane Claire's head: "Then, will you be nicer to Princess Lana's descendants from now on?"
Jane Claire nodded: "I will, Dad." As she spoke, she looked at Zuo Qingya with a pitying expression.
"???" Zuo Qingya thought to herself, "Don't look at me like that. Looking at me like that makes me feel uneasy and uncomfortable."
"Okay, you can play with our baby for the next few days!"
Zuo Qingya nodded: "Okay!"
Inside the room, Zuo Qingya and Jane Claire stared at each other, unsure of what to do.
Jane Claire handed all her favorite toys to Zuo Qingya: "Here, you can play with these, sister!"
"Huh???" Zuo Qingya stared wide-eyed at the little fish toys. What were these? Were such big pearls toys? What a waste!
And this coral toy room? Are you serious?
Zuo Qingya watched as Jane Claire swam into the water. "Hmm... she's serious, it really is a toy room." Zuo Qingya was envious. Is the sea really full of treasures? Is there not a single poor person among them?
Zuo Qingya has another gathering task! Gathering beautiful coral—where should she go to collect it? Let's ask Jane Claire!
"Jane Claire, do you know where the most coral is?"
Jane Claire, who was playing with a large pearl, thought for a moment and said, "I know! The seabed of Villariel has the most coral."
Where is the seabed of Villariel?
Jane Claire pointed to the right: "The seabed of Villariel is over there."
Zuo Qingya looked in the direction Jane Claire was pointing. "Is it over there? Should we go check it out tonight?"
Zuo Qingya spent the whole day with Jane Claire. Zuo Qingya felt that Jane Claire didn't need anyone to look after her at all; she could take care of herself.
Even at night, the Mermaid's Home is still brightly lit, with glowing fish swimming around everywhere, even in groups, like rehearsed wave lights, which is very beautiful.
Zuo Qingya arrived at the seabed of Villariel without getting lost. There were many corals here, but they were all small and scattered, and had already been dug up. Zuo Qingya continued to swim forward and found that the further she swam, the more corals there were, lined up in a row from small to large, which was quite spectacular.
Zuo Qingya looked at the corals, unsure of where to begin. Should she dig? Or should she dig? Or should she dig? Or should she dig? Ah, what a sweet burden.
Just as Zuo Qingya was about to make a move, she heard a rustling sound. Zuo Qingya quickly hid and used the invisibility magic item her mother had given her.
A plump loach swam out of the coral reef. Because of its enormous size, it destroyed a lot of coral. Zuo Qingya felt a little sorry for it and didn't dare to move. She quietly hid, wanting to see what the plump loach was up to!
"I'll stomp on these corals, I'll stomp on them, I'll crush them! Let's see how those haughty mermaids can hold their banquet now, they didn't even invite me!"
"Huh??? So this is revenge! Looking at this fat loach, you can tell how annoying it is just by its current behavior."
Zuo Qingya swam a little further away and quickly collected some coral, all according to her aesthetic standards. Hearing the fat loach's voice, she moved even further away.
To be honest, this coral reef is really huge. Zuo Qingya didn't even finish exploring it in one night, and that fat loach only destroyed half of the coral reef.
When Zuo Qingya left, Fat Mudfish was already asleep from exhaustion.
Zuo Qingya held her breath, listened to the snoring of the fat loach, and slowly swam back to Jane Claire's house without any danger.
"Miss, where did you go so early in the morning? I couldn't find you anywhere."
Zuo Qingya made up an excuse: "I just went out for a stroll."
"Okay! Let's go downstairs for breakfast."
Zuo Qingya looked at the seaweed in front of her and was speechless. Is this what mermaids eat? Are they all vegetarians? How come there is so much seaweed? And it's seaweed prepared in various ways.
"Jane Claire, is this all we're going to eat?"
Jane Claire nodded: "Yes, miss."
Today was the day Zuo Qingya ate seaweed until she threw up. Although every kind of seaweed was delicious, eating too much of it is still not good!
Zuo Qingya felt like her face had turned into green seaweed.
"Jane Claire, don't you eat meat? For example, crab, lobster, sea cucumber, abalone, etc., don't you eat those?"
"Food, of course! But I'm still a baby, I can't eat those things."
"Babies can't eat it? Then can adults eat it?"
Jane Claire nodded: "Yes! The baby is still a newborn! He needs to eat some vegetables to soothe my stomach."
"Uh??? Okay!"
"Miss, if you want to eat those, you can have some. I'll have Uncle Fish make you something delicious now."
There's no such thing as cooked food in the sea; everything is raw—crabs, lobsters, and so on. And there's no dipping sauce; it's all just plain white crab and lobster meat. Although I'm worried about getting a stomachache from eating too much, it's still much better than eating seaweed!
Zuo Qingya let out a burp.
"Hey, have you finished eating? If you have, I'll take you out to play!"
Where should we go for fun?
Jane Claire pulled Zuo Qingya along, saying, "You'll find out when you go."
"Alright!"
Jane Claire first took Zuo Qingya to the Mermaid Clan's market. The market sold handicrafts, clothes made of seashells (which were basically just two large seashells placed in front and decorated to look nice), and toys made of fish bones. The most common items were pearls, in all shapes and sizes. Zuo Qingya wanted to buy some, but she didn't have any star coins, so she could only admire them from afar.
Jane Claire, on the other hand, was different. Her father gave her a card that could be used to spend Star Coins, which he said was her allowance. Jane Claire could buy whatever she wanted.
Zuo Qingya is now Jane Claire's sidekick, helping her carry things.
"Hey miss, let's go get something to drink."
"good!"
Zuo Qingya followed Jane Claire and arrived at a shop with a sign that read "Simon's Drinks Shop." Jane Claire pushed open the door and went inside. Inside were children who looked about the same age as Jane Claire. Zuo Qingya thought there wouldn't be many people, but she didn't expect it to be so noisy and lively.
"Jane Claire, we're here." The speaker was a delicate-looking little mermaid who appeared to be a tiny bit older than Jane Claire.
Jane Claire heard someone call her name, turned around, and saw that it was someone she knew. She greeted him, "Abbyman, are you out shopping too?"
