Shui Yiyao opened the box and found two pomfret inside.
The pomfret looked at her with its black eyes and wagged its tail.
I don’t know what preservation method was used, but this fish is actually alive.
In the seabed, mermaids can indeed feed on pomfret, and they do eat them alive. However, after she came here, she has never eaten live pomfret, and only ate human food.
Is this... edible?
Shui Yiyao looked at the pomfret with a frown on her face.
"Don't you like it?" Ao Li asked.
Her discomfort was obvious, and Ao Li was a little confused. The mermaids ate this kind of small pomfret. When the All Races Conference was held in the past, different foods were provided to each race, and the food given to the mermaids was live pomfret. Could it be that because she was a golden mermaid, she was given something special?
Shui Yiyao looked up at him and said after a while: "I want to...eat it cooked."
She observed Ao Li's reaction. Her reason might sound a little strange, wouldn't it? If he asked, how would she explain it? After all, it was impossible to cook food at the bottom of the sea.
Ao Li didn't ask any more questions: "Wait a moment."
He took the paper box from Shui Yiyao's hand, turned sideways, and a golden flame suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand and burned under the paper box.
Even from a distance, Shui Yiyao could feel the heat from the flames.
Looking at the flames, her eyes lit up. How could this be possible? Was it magic?
After three to five minutes, the flames in Ao Li's palm died down. He turned around and handed the paper box to Shui Yiyao: "It's done."
Inside the paper box, the two fish had turned brown and were emitting white steam. The paper box seemed to be made of tinfoil and was not burned.
Shui Yiyao was still looking at Ao Li's hand, curious: "Is this the superpower of your Jiao clan?"
The original owner had never seen the world, so it was not surprising for her to ask this question.
Ao Li: "There are bloodline restrictions. Black Dragon can do it."
Shui Yiyao nodded: "That's just your superpower."
Ao Li handed the paper box forward: "Try it."
Shui Yiyao moved her nose and sniffed the scent.
The delicious aroma of roasted pomfret wafted out, the fish skin was golden brown, and some milky white fish juice flowed to the bottom of the box.
It looks pretty good, but... there's still a hint of fishy smell belonging to sea fish, and also, there are scales.
I can't eat it.
She stretched out her hand towards the pomfret, then retracted it after a while.
Finally, she looked at Ao Li and gave him a polite smile: "I'm not hungry now."
"I'll eat when I'm hungry."
If you were hungrier, you might be able to eat it.
Ao Li looked at the pomfret in his hand and frowned. Don't you like it?
He nodded, picked up the pomfret food box, stood up and put it on the table next to him: "Then eat later."
He put the pomfret away, returned to Shui Yiyao, and looked at the bottom of the pool. "There's a portal leading to the sea down there. I'll take you there. You'll be staying here for a few days. If you want to go out for a walk, you can leave through the portal."
He had funded the construction of several such pools, but only this one had a portal leading freely to the seabed. He didn't want her to think he was trying to keep her captive. She could leave anytime she wanted.
After he said that, he jumped into the water.
After entering the water, he instantly turned into a dragon, splashing huge water.
Shui Yiyao initially lamented that the pool was a bit too large, looking at least four or five hundred meters long and wide. But after Ao Li entered the water, he immediately took up most of the pool.
He is the black dragon.
In this world, a Jiaolong is a type of dragon. Any dragon with scales is called a Jiaolong.
The black scales gleamed coldly in the water, and the blue light from the room shone on him through the water. The scales reflected the brilliance of gems, like top-grade black jade, with a restrained brilliance.
The dragon horns on its head were half in the water and half exposed above the water, looking as hard as iron.
The dragon raised its head in the water, revealing its eyes and looking at her: "It's right under the water. Follow me."
Shui Yiyao lowered her eyes and looked into the water, which was bottomless.
Ao Li lowered his dragon head, turned around and swam towards the bottom of the sea.
Shui Yiyao also sank down, wagging her tail and following.
Chase, but can’t catch up…
Shui Yiyao swam twice and looked at the dragon in front of her. It was quite a distance away from her, and seemed to be getting farther and farther away.
Is this the advantage of long legs?
Ao Li in front also noticed it. He paused and looked back.
The little golden mermaid swam hard behind.
When he was in human form, he had also walked with Shui Yiyao, and he never felt that she walked slowly. She was always neat and even decisive.
However, the sight of him swimming so hard is very cute.
He thought about it, shrunk his body by half, swam towards Shui Yiyao, and lowered his head in front of her.
"Come up and grab my horns."
Shui Yiyao swam over and grabbed his left dragon horn: "Thank you."
The dragon horn is very hard, feels cold and rough, and is very large, so it cannot be held in both hands.
After Ao Li made sure that she was sitting firmly, he turned around and rushed to the bottom of the pool.
Shui Yiyao felt like she was riding a roller coaster, with the water rushing past her, and bubbles rising from the water and small fish darting past.
After flying for a while, Ao Li slowed down.
"arrive."
Shui Yiyao saw that the bottom of the pool, which had been dark all the time, began to light up.
A doorway with a faint white light appeared, a huge door.
Enough for a huge dragon to move freely.
Ao Li approached the doorway and said, "That's a teleportation portal. Remember the location and you can go straight through."
After saying that, he took Shui Yiyao directly through the portal.
In an instant, a white light flashed and the scene around him changed.
Into the sea.
Holding the dragon horn, the surrounding environment did not change much, it was all dark water, but Shui Yiyao knew very well in her heart that this was the bottom of the sea.
She felt the call of the Holy Land.
It's a bit far, and it takes a while to swim there, but I can feel it tangibly. This is truly the sea.
Ao Li stopped and said to Shui Yiyao, "Look around for yourself. I'll go downstairs to do something."
Shui Yiyao let him go and got down from his head: "Okay."
Ao Li is the leader of the Jiao clan and the leader of the Sea Nation Alliance. He should have a lot of things to deal with.
"Be careful, call me if anything happens." Ao Li instructed seriously, and after seeing her agree, he turned around and swam deeper.
The dragon sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared.
Shui Yiyao stopped and looked around. It was pitch black, but she had a sense of it. The holy land was in the south, and she could definitely get there.
But she didn't want to go. All her abnormal behavior in front of Ao Li could be explained by the fact that she was a golden mermaid, unlike other mermaids, such as her inability to eat live pomfret. But if she were in the mermaid tribe, this would be inexplicable.
She looked at the surrounding terrain repeatedly, sensed the location of the holy land, made sure she remembered the direction, and then went straight back to the portal.
·
Shui Yiyao returned to the manor pool alone. The way back seemed longer than the way there. Following Ao Li, it took her about five minutes to reach the bottom of the sea, while it took her ten minutes to reach the roof by herself.
After she came out and surfaced, she swam towards the edge of the pool.
So hungry... She couldn't help but look at the table next to her.
The table was so close to her that she could reach out and grab the pomfret on it.
She stretched out her hand, but when she touched the food box, she pulled it back.
And fish scales...
She was a little worried.
Would you like to order takeout?
But... I'm afraid that the delivery guy will come over and scare him.
Just when Shui Yiyao was struggling between eating and not eating, there was movement under the water. She looked down and saw a huge dragon-shaped figure slowly swimming up.
Arriving so soon? She thought Ao Li was going back to handle government affairs and it would take some time.
It looked slow, but soon the dragon approached her.
The faucet emerged from the water.
The difference from just now is that the dragon has a small basket in its mouth, which looks like a bamboo basket, and is filled with pink things, one by one, like white fungus, pink white fungus.
Dalong held the basket in his mouth and passed it to Shui Yiyao: "Do you like this?"
Ao Li: "Red seaweed."
Golden mermaids seem to be more delicate than ordinary sea creatures. I wonder if they would like to eat this.
Just as the word "bayberry" makes one's mouth water, the sea people also salivate at the mention of red shell algae. It's a light pink plant that can be eaten raw and resembles jelly. Both its texture and flavor are exceptionally good.
In the Shuiyi Yao's original impression, this was the most delicious food in the seabed because it was precious.
I only eat one on my birthday.
Just like a child from a poor family can only eat a piece of chocolate on his birthday.
Shui Yiyao took the basket from him.
The basket he held in his mouth was a bit small, but when it was in Shui Yiyao's arms, both hands couldn't hold it all. Inside, red seaweeds were neatly stacked, with a crystal-like sheen, extremely tempting.
"You went to the bull shark's territory?"
Red shell algae grows only at the entrance of the Bull Shark tribe. As soon as it matures, it's harvested immediately by the Bull Shark tribe, essentially monopolizing the area. Other tribes have to buy it from them. Its growth cycle is twelve years, and because of its low yield, it's expensive.
"yes."
"Not kicked out?" Shui Yiyao remembered that Hai Tiantian was from the bull shark tribe.
"No."
"Give them all to me?" Shui Yiyao held the basket and looked at Ao Li.
"All for you."
Shui Yiyao reached out and took a petal of red seaweed from the basket, pursed her lips and asked, "How much is this?"
"I have a bank card in my bag. I can give you the money now, or I can transfer it all to the institute's account."
Afraid that Ao Li would not accept it, she generously emphasized: "I have money."
Ao Li shook his head. "They sold it to me for only 10 sea coins. It's not expensive. I'll give it to you."
They always charged him this price when they sold him red seaweed.
That's really not expensive.
10 Haibi is equivalent to 10 yuan.
Shui Yiyao spoke with confidence.
This thing resembles strawberry pudding, and it is just as delicious as I remembered.
Seeing Shui Yiyao start to eat, Ao Li felt relieved and floated out of the water and onto the shore.
He changed into human form, and was wearing a suit, clean and neat, not at all like he had just come out of the water.
Shui Yiyao looked at Ao Li while picking up some red seaweed and eating them. After eating six or seven pieces in a row, she stopped and put the basket on the shore.
This thing is delicious, but it's like a snack. It's not very filling.
Ao Li looked at the food on the table and in the basket that had hardly been touched, and felt a little confused. Why wasn't she eating?
He took out his mobile phone, opened the encyclopedia app, and searched - Why don't fish like to eat?
1. The fish does not eat because the feed is too monotonous and they are tired of it.
2. The fish is sick.
3. It’s time to change the water.
…
He looked at the reasons listed and frowned.
What could be the reason?
·
That night, Shui Yiyao saw Ao Li carrying a big box.
When she was curious about what it was, Ao Li opened it and found out that it was a set of kitchen utensils.
From stove to oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, everything is available.
