Chapter 232 Visiting the Merfolk
When the Mermaid King invited them to the Sea Clan, Gu Xinyan and the others were originally planning to refuse, because they planned to meet that Black Mist Beast later that night.
But when I heard what they said next, I couldn't help but become curious. Did they need my help with something?
What kind of help can they possibly offer? Are they asking them to help deal with that black mist behemoth?
Perhaps sensing their confusion, the Mermaid King continued:
"It's like this, in a few days I will invite all the sea tribes to a banquet to discuss the matter of the black mist and the giant beast. However..."
When the Mermaid King got to this point, his expression became somewhat awkward.
However, in order to outshine everyone at the sea tribe's banquet a few days later, he had to be shameless and say:
"However, the chefs in my palace are all rather mediocre. For this banquet, I personally led a group to the deep sea to hunt a bluefish beast."
Last night, Ellie told me that you guys are great cooks, so I was thinking of asking a few of you to help prepare some of your signature dishes for the banquet, to make the event even more successful.
This is a good opportunity to introduce you to them. Each tribe has many good things, but whether they'll ultimately be willing to come to the store to buy them, I can't guarantee.
However, Mr. Gu, the things here are both novel and of high quality; I'm sure they won't refuse them. If you gentlemen are willing to help, my sea tribe will certainly repay you handsomely.
After the Mermaid King finished speaking, his eyes were full of anticipation as he stared intently at Gu Xinyan and the others.
Although he hadn't tasted their cooking himself, his little daughter was a picky eater, and with her so strongly recommending it, he figured it must be really good.
Since that's the case, let's just invite him directly. If we could also teach the palace chefs a few tricks, that would be even better.
Meanwhile, Gu Xinyan and the others were also surprised by the Mermaid King's reason. After exchanging glances, they all saw interest in each other's eyes.
The underwater city of the sea creatures—you can't go there without an invitation. Since the Mermaid King personally invited them, they naturally agreed.
It's a good opportunity to see how they build their underwater city. When Earth starts building its own underwater city in the future, we can take inspiration from their methods.
So the group nodded in agreement, and Gu Xinyan, representing them, smiled and replied:
"Since the Mermaid King has extended such a warm invitation, we will not refuse. We would also like to visit this underwater city."
On the day of the banquet, we will definitely do our best to prepare delicious food that will not disappoint you.
After all, cooking is a piece of cake for her. Since she has accepted the Mermaid King's commission, she will definitely show off her skills on the day of the banquet.
If we can win over these sea people with delicious food, our business will surely flourish.
Upon hearing these words, the Mermaid King couldn't help but smile happily, and his already handsome face gained an even more unique beauty.
Seeing that they had agreed, the Mermaid King wanted to head back home, after all, his underwater city and underwater palace were quite beautiful.
So he was eager to take Gu Xinyan and the others to see his beautiful underwater world, and with a wave of his hand, he laughed heartily:
"Very good, very good. With the help of these distinguished guests, they will definitely have a great time. Let's go back to the underwater city first. But can we take this shop with us?"
“Yes, Father. I saw Sister Gu conjure up this shop yesterday, so she can definitely take it with her.”
Before Gu Xinyan could even reply to the Mermaid King's words, Ellie couldn't wait to speak up.
She had just heard it; her father was inviting Sister Gu and the others to the Sea Clan City.
In that case, she wouldn't need to go ashore to find Sister Gu and the others. Once they got to the city, she would take Sister Gu and the others shopping.
Hehe! The more Ellie thought about it, the happier she felt, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud at the end.
The sudden burst of laughter drew everyone's attention. Little Ellie was there, covering her mouth and giggling, seemingly lost in thought.
Looking at the adorable little Ellie, Gu Xinyan smiled and nodded, indicating that what she had just said was correct.
He didn't say anything more after that. With a wave of his hand, the entire store disappeared, leaving only the few of them behind.
Meanwhile, the group of merman soldiers waiting outside the shop suddenly felt a blur before their eyes, and then the strange house in front of them disappeared.
They really did disappear into thin air. Just as the soldiers were about to rush forward, they saw their king, the little princess, and General Mu Yan standing in the place where the strange house had been.
Along with them were those strange humans. Everything was the same as before, except that the house was gone, and the mermaid-like robe that seemed to belong to General Mu Yan was also missing. This...
However, before they could figure out what was going on, they heard their king say that he wanted to go back.
The bewildered merman soldiers... dared not ask, and seeing the king leave, they hurriedly followed.
The moment Gu Xinyan and the others entered the water, they opened their wetsuits, which instantly covered their entire bodies.
Upon seeing this, the Mermaid King was about to give them the water-repelling pearl in his arms when he saw this and silently stretched his hand out from under his mermaid veil.
However, he kept stealing glances at the transparent diving suits worn by Gu Xinyan and the others, and couldn't help but marvel at how amazing they were.
It looks like there's nothing there, but it effectively blocks out the surrounding seawater.
Moreover, this thing called a diving suit allows people to breathe underwater, and it has a very strong pressure resistance, so people will not feel any discomfort at the bottom of the sea.
In addition to this, the diving suit also has an acceleration function. Although it cannot match the speed of the merfolk, it is not far behind.
In addition, the Mermaid King deliberately slowed down his swimming speed, so he didn't feel any pressure at all while swimming.
When they first entered the sea, the water was still very blue, and countless small fish and shrimp swam curiously around them.
But as they ventured deeper, the color of the seawater gradually deepened, becoming almost pitch black, though not quite.
