Lilybet has launched aquaculture in the Chaohai Sea area.
Queen Elizabeth of the Tide Sea Clan did not appear before the crowd until the next day.
The day before, she led her people to transplant the king coral to a newly developed area in the Tide Sea, using the coral reefs to help purify the ocean.
When Kuwano woke up the next day, a silver-haired woman was lying on her back in the huge pool in the center, in a free and lazy posture.
She was as exquisitely beautiful as Sireno, a lovely creature of the sea, but her demeanor was upright and dignified, carrying the authority of a superior, which Sireno, with his childishness, could not match.
Unlike the dreamlike fish tail of Cireno, it has black and white skin like that of an orca, with faintly shimmering scales, sharp and dangerously deadly.
Without needing anyone to introduce her, Sangye knew who she was just from their strikingly similar faces.
Elizabeth looked up from the water, waved her hand, and acted very familiarly.
“Hello, Colonel.” Elizabeth stood up in the water with a little effort. “Don’t mind me, I’m a little injured and need to rest in the water.” She pointed to her fish tail, and Sangye then noticed that the fin near her tail was almost severed; although it had stopped bleeding, the wound was still shocking.
"It's not too serious. The new area we chose wasn't very good, and no one realized it was the fish beast's lair, so a little conflict occurred," Elizabeth said casually. However, she didn't tell Sangye that she was accidentally injured while protecting the fish beast. "You can call me Lilybet, that's my nickname."
She immediately struck up a conversation, appearing relaxed and natural, which made Sangye lower his guard.
"By the way, tell me, has my dear brother angered everyone again?" Lilybet blinked, seemingly well aware of Sireno's style.
“The prince is very popular.” Sangye smiled somewhat awkwardly, offering a compromise.
"This kid came back complaining to me that the base was going to kick him out. I can tell what he's been up to with my fins. Just ignore him. He'll behave himself after a few beatings." Lilybet pouted, then turned her head and changed her expression, looking at Sangye with a smile. "Thank goodness you took him in."
Sang Ye felt a little embarrassed by what she said, and asked, "Where's Sireno? I haven't seen him."
“I sent him to the new area to supervise the construction; no one in the Chaohai tribe can be idle.”
Du Yuan brought the tea and refreshments to the poolside, and Lilybett approached with interest.
Du Yuan woke up early and didn't wake the others who liked to sleep in. She went to the kitchen and made pork floss buns and brown sugar milk tea for her morning tea.
Her skills are no less than Sangye's; she's just lazy.
The freshly baked pork floss buns are bright yellow, fluffy and soft, and exude a warm aroma of baked butter and cream. The moment you smell this aroma, your mouth waters.
Kuwano and Du Yuan sat cross-legged on the soft cushions on the ground and enjoyed the meal with Lilybet.
The savory seaweed sprinkled on top of the small biscuits is rich and salty, intertwined with the delicious pork floss. When you bite into the innermost part, the semi-cooled cream slowly overflows, neutralizing the dryness.
The chicken floss buns are moist and delicious, and they're quite large; one bun can last a long time.
The coconut flake and pork floss buns have a rich coconut aroma and a lingering aftertaste.
Sangye's favorite is the lemon yogurt pork floss bun, which has a rich fruity aroma, a refreshing sour taste, and a strong milky flavor.
Although both brown sugar and red tea are made from sugarcane, brown sugar needs to be repeatedly pounded and caramelized to form, which gives it a strong caramel aroma. It is very suitable for cooking with milk and red tea to make a strong-smelling milk tea.
Brown sugar is also warmer for the stomach than red soup, making it very suitable for replenishing qi and blood.
While eating, Kuwano kept an eye on Lilybett's tail, noticing the rapid healing of her broken fin. Seeing this, she felt a little more at ease, knowing that the mission would be a complete success.
Then her thoughts turned to the clean seabed she had seen yesterday.
If ordinary plants cannot withstand the cleansing of spiritual energy, what about the plants in her cave that absorb spiritual energy?
Isn't that like "a fish in water"?
With the presence of seabed vegetation, various organisms can reproduce again, and the seafood farming that Sangye desires may be able to develop before the cave opens.
Then we can talk to Lilybett about leasing a piece of sea area specifically for her to raise fish, and she can be a little "boat captain" who goes out to sea to fish.
Before his thoughts could wander too far, Kuwano quickly stopped himself and prepared to bring it up with Lilybete later, asking her to choose a piece of land and plant some seaweed, seagrass, sponges, and anemones.
Seaweed, in particular, is diverse in species, has a strong reproductive capacity and vitality, serves as food for many fish, and is indispensable to the marine ecosystem.
Once the vegetation has taken shape, it will expand and reproduce on its own, requiring only a little human assistance; then you can introduce fish fry, shrimp fry, and crab fry, and wait for the harvest.
Kuwano has always been a pragmatist and never wastes a moment.
He immediately watched Lilybet finish eating and then went into the water with her.
The royal palace is 50 meters below this sea-view room. For a mermaid, 50 meters is just a few seconds, but Kuwano descends very slowly to avoid his lungs being crushed by the water pressure. Even with the assistance of his wrist terminal, Kuwano still dares not let his guard down.
When Kuwano actually saw the King Coral population, he was still shocked.
Reef-building corals, rose corals, staghorn corals, gorgonians, and disc corals are a variety of corals with intertwined roots and bright, colorful patterns that illuminate the underwater world.
The royal palace is hidden within, and every now and then mermaids emerge from some of the openings and swim among the corals.
Lilybeth led Kuwano directly to the underwater protruding rock platform behind the palace, which was covered with deep-sea soil, indicating that Kuwano could start from there.
Kuwano planted various seaweed and algae seeds stored in her storage ring. These were originally intended for raising ornamental fish, which needed an ecosystem built in the aquarium. Kuwano's storage ring even contained stones covered in green moss.
Once the seaweed that absorbs spiritual energy to grow is in the water, it grows at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the short time it takes for Sangye to turn around and sow seeds elsewhere, the seaweed he just planted has already turned into a lush and green plant, growing at a speed that leaves Sangye speechless.
Without the help of fish, it would be difficult for them to sow their own seeds.
Lilybeth, who was waiting quietly to the side, couldn't hide her shock.
The royal coral and the royal palace are the cleanest sea areas, but also the areas where plants find it most difficult to survive. For many years, they have tried to replant them, but all their efforts have ended in failure.
The tribe's uncontrollable overflowing spiritual energy purified the waters, rendering ordinary plants unable to survive, leading to their death. This vicious cycle of despair has finally been broken today.
It's all because of this special guide in front of us.
By the time Sangye had planted all the land, the kelp had grown to a height of over ten meters, swaying with the water; various seaweeds and seagrass had gradually become natural habitats for young fish, shrimp, and crabs to hide in.
But that wasn't all. As if by magic, Sangye threw out thousands upon thousands of crab seedlings, shrimp seedlings, and fish seedlings, a wide variety of species.
This was something Sangye specifically asked Du Yuan for before going to sea. Sangye didn't have it.
Because she didn't have the patience to change the water and air for these delicate seedlings again and again.
However, Du Yuan was happy to put her heart and soul into these things, and she had a habit of collecting seeds and seedlings of unique species wherever she went, bringing them back to Shifangwu and cultivating them carefully.
Ms. Du Yuan is the Mendel of the cultivation world.
Due to certain unique advantages, the tidal flats have become the most suitable place for aquaculture.
Lilybet swung her orca tail as she brushed through the seaweed, while small shrimp, fish, and crabs opened and closed their mouths, eating the microorganisms excreted by the seaweed.
Sangye swam up to her and said, "Is there any land left to plant? The density here is too high. Once these fish, shrimp, and crabs grow up, there won't be enough to eat. We need to expand the area."
Lilibet spent the whole day sowing seeds throughout the palace, even venturing to a large open area at the bottom of the King's Coral Reef, a rugged terrain where it was difficult for a large adult mermaid like Lilibet to swim around.
However, shellfish, sea bass, yellow croaker, grouper, sea bream, etc., are all deep-sea species.
They are small in size, and the shellfish even need to attach to reefs and corals to survive.
On land, Amoli Island was unusually lively today. Mermaids who needed mental cleansing came ashore and moved into the usually empty houses, all in order to get their mental cleansing done as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, this time there was no need to queue. The base and the nobles of the Tide Sea distributed "food"—instant noodles, rice balls, fried fish, bread, and various braised meats—and promised that it would have the same effect as mental energy manipulation.
Some mermaids were skeptical, and despite the tempting aroma of the food in front of them, they still refused to move.
Before the standoff could last more than a few seconds, a slurping sound suddenly came from beside him. Turning around, he saw that his companion had "betrayed" him first. He was eating with gusto and enjoyment, his eyes were squinted, and he even reached out his wicked hand to steal some from him.
This time, she didn't have time to doubt anymore, and the mermaid just grabbed the bowl and started eating.
The moment he tasted it, he realized that this was a "delicacy" that Yu Sheng had never tasted before, far different from the monotonous nutrient solution that the base had previously sent.
It's so delicious I wish I could eat my tongue along with it.
More importantly, an irresistible, refreshing spiritual energy, reminiscent of the fragrance of flowers and the shade of trees, surged into the mental landscape, like sweet rain falling on parched land, making people unable to help but quietly shed tears.
They didn't even have time to speak, and could only fight with their companions for the last bite of food.
Now no one will doubt the authenticity of the food/mental analysis anymore.
At that time, Kuwano was still underwater, working on the bottom of the King Coral Reef. Because of the dim light, he even bumped into thick tree trunks quite a few times.
Only after the construction was completely completed and the fish fry were released did she leave the construction site and return to the oxygen-rich seawater.
Staying in the cramped space for a while made Kuwano feel a little uncomfortable.
But when she came out, a merman male who looked somewhat similar to Lilybeth and Sireno stood outside the King's Coral Reef. Lilybeth stood up straight and looked serious: "Colonel, let me introduce you. This is my father, the former king of the Tide Sea Clan, Matthews."
Unlike his lively and enthusiastic eldest daughter and his "innocent" and carefree youngest son, Matthews, with his serious expression, made Sangye think she was at a meeting where she was representing the base to receive the former king.
