Chapter 221 The Mermaid Who Loves to Eat Delicious Food
So let the meat that just came off the grill cool down a bit before feeding it to her, otherwise she might burn herself.
After all, this mermaid is definitely different from them, and they don't know if she can eat cooked food. But looking at Ellie's drooling little face, they guess she can probably eat it.
Just as they expected, Ellie couldn't wait to eat the barbecue after it cooled down.
Once they started eating, it was like discovering a new continent; they couldn't stop at all. They were eating so fast that they almost couldn't keep up with the demand.
Surprisingly, this little mermaid, despite her small size, had such a good appetite, and thus, a magical scene unfolded.
Ellie gradually accepted the hot food and didn't wait for it to cool down; as soon as it hit the grill, it was practically gone.
They ate until their bellies were bulging before stopping, satisfied, and letting out a contented burp.
With one hand patting her bulging belly and the other supporting her waist, she swam around the store with her golden fishtail, clearly feeling quite full.
Seeing this, Gu Xinyan and the others couldn't help but laugh out loud. What an adorable little mermaid! They wanted to keep her as a pet! Unfortunately, this idea could only remain a thought.
If they really dared to abduct this mermaid, they would probably be hunted down by the entire sea race. Although they are not afraid, why would they want to become enemies when they can befriend each other?
Moreover, it's uncertain whether this unexpectedly arrived dimension will be incorporated into the system in the future.
If we can include them, they'll still have plenty of opportunities to come here often in the future. Besides, it's a mermaid, I'm sure no one wouldn't be interested in or love her!
Only after seeing Ellie stop pacing around did Gu Xinyan smile and step forward to ask:
"By the way, Ellie, although we came here by accident, we absolutely meant no harm."
And this shop is full of things from our world. As you've probably seen, besides all kinds of food, there are also many medicines, weapons, electronic products, and so on.
Not only that, but our second floor also has display cases showcasing items from other worlds—and not just one! I'm sure you'll find that interesting.
May we have a meeting with your sea king? We may stay here for a while, and if you agree, we would like to do some business with you.
You've tried these delicious foods, haven't you? But this is just one of many delicious dishes; we have other tasty options as well.
Ellie was initially hesitant upon hearing this, but when she heard about other worlds and countless delicacies, she was more interested.
Her hesitation vanished instantly, replaced by a deep longing for delicious food and a yearning for the outside world.
Looking at the time, it was getting late. If it were any later, his father might return with his troops. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Um? Ellie will go back and ask my father, but it might not be successful. If my father agrees, can Ellie bring him over then?"
Ellie's voice also carried a hint of uncertainty. Although her father didn't express deep disgust when he talked about humans, he was certainly not friendly either.
However, these people in front of us are not from our Holy Luo Continent, but from another world. I think my father would be very interested in them.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan nodded to Ellie, the Little Mermaid. After all, this place was different from other worlds, and the native inhabitants here were very xenophobic.
Moreover, listening to what the little mermaid in front of them had just said confirmed their guess. This mermaid really did have an extraordinary background. They never expected that she would be the daughter of the sea king.
This background is more than just extraordinary! It's an absolute game-changer. They were originally thinking about how to persuade the king of the sea tribe, but unexpectedly, the opportunity has been presented to them.
After all, if they could win over this young girl, and then whisper a few words in her ear, wouldn't both sides achieve a perfect win-win situation?
With that thought in mind, Gu Xinyan's eyes lit up even more as she looked at Ellie. Without saying a word, she pulled her towards the snack shelf area.
"Of course, that's possible. However, since you're bringing back some things that don't exist in this world, your father will likely trust you more when he sees them."
You can pack some snacks to take back with you, and eat them slowly later. The snacks here taste really good, like these potato chips, they're so fragrant and crispy!
And these instant noodles too, they taste really good, but these kinds of foods can't get wet, otherwise they won't be good.
Gu Xinyan introduced various snacks to her while taking a lot of snacks off the shelf.
But at the end, she suddenly remembered that the mermaid lived underwater.
If these foods are taken away to eat, won't they all become soaked and rehydrated? Before she could even ask, Ellie seemed to know what she wanted to ask and quickly answered her first.
"The palace where I live is not water-bearing. Although we live underwater, our dwellings are all isolated from the seawater."
So if I take these down to eat, water won't get in. I have a seashell bag here; I can put the food inside, and it won't get in!
Hearing this, Gu Xinyan was very curious, but she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she smiled and nodded.
Since she said there was no seawater in the palace in the sea, then these snacks can be eaten without worry.
After rummaging through the snacks, they finally stopped, but when passing by the liquor section, they didn't forget to grab a bottle of spirits and put it in their shopping basket.
After all, they didn't know what kind of person Ellie's father was, but making friends over drinks was a way of showing their sincerity.
When she was getting the items, she noticed that the prices on the shelves were the same as those sold in China, so she figured this wasn't a normal mission.
Therefore, the price was not specifically set when they arrived in this dimension.
However, Gu Xinyan was just thinking about it, since the prices were all set by the main system, and a portion of the commission would be taken away each time a task ended.
But since they arrived here by accident, the items they exchanged later shouldn't be taken by the main system when they return, right?
