The little triggerfish was chirping and babbling in the plastic bottle; it was almost scared to death.
The three of them sat there bored. Lu Xingchen looked at the chat screen, Gu Yanzhi closed his eyes to rest, and Gao Dafu and the little cannonball fish talked for a while. Neither of them could understand each other, but they chatted enthusiastically.
Gao Dafu: "Oh my, this little fish is so pretty! Look at its head, it's so long, haha!"
Little Cannonfish: "This is so scary! How can there be such a fat mermaid? Does he eat fish? Woohoo!"
Gao Dafu: "My little darling, when we get back I'll catch a little fish to keep you company, and you two can have a bunch of baby fish."
Little Cannonball Fish: "Eek! So fat, with such a big face, he'll never find a wife, right?"
Lu Xingchen, unable to bear it any longer, said, "Can you all please shut up!"
It affected her thinking.
Gao Dafu: "Huh? Besides me, who else is speaking?"
Lu Xingchen had no choice but to find him something to do: "Help me check the trading hall and find some dyes so I can make colorful clothes. With the appearance of the Sewing Master and the unlocking of the Sewing Table, dyes will become more and more expensive, so we can stock up on some."
Gao Dafu nodded: "Okay!"
The world is finally quiet.
In the morning, Mira finally woke up.
As soon as she woke up, she sat up and leaned against the stone wall, silent.
Lu Xingchen considered for a moment: "Mira, how much do you know about what happened before? Do you need us to tell you?"
Mira shook her head: "No need, I can see and hear, I know more than you do."
She lowered her eyes and looked at her tail.
Lu Xingchen was not in a hurry and just waited for her silently.
After a long pause, Mira finally spoke, "I heard my mother say something before she slashed my tail with the dagger: 'Mira, can I borrow your tailbone?'"
Lu Xingchen: “Ah?”
She kept telling Meimei to use her super hearing, so why didn't she hear that sentence?
Mira said softly, "She said that right next to my ear, in a very low voice..."
Gao Dafu was surprised: "You were already a corpse by then, what would the Mermaid Queen want your tailbone for? To make fish soup?"
Lu Xingchen glanced at Gao Dafu.
Gao Dafu chuckled: "Just a joke."
Mira stood up: "I need to go back to the Mermaid Palace."
Lu Xingchen's expression changed: "You can't go back!"
Who knows what the queen will do. Mira is now an evil mermaid, and it is very dangerous for her to go back.
Mira sighed: "I want to leave the Mermaid Palace temporarily. I need to go back to get an important item. Once I get it back, I will go with you."
Lu Xingchen: "But if you go back now, people will see that the Queen won't let you leave."
Mira touched her dark blue hair, looked down at her dark blue tail, and fell silent.
Indeed, it is too conspicuous.
Gao Dafu coughed and said, "Yes, Lu Xingchen, I just found the dye!"
Lu Xingchen was overjoyed: "Really?"
Gao Dafu: "Someone just put it on the shelves and I snatched it up, hehe, one blue dye and one pink dye, one of each."
He took out the dye.
There are two boxes in total, one containing blue dye and the other containing pink dye. Each box contains six vials of dye, each about the size of an oral liquid.
Looking at the blue dye and then at Mira's head, Lu Xingchen had an idea: "So, we can try dyeing Mira's hair?"
