After returning to Lily's Shell Cottage, Muying took out her suitcase and opened it, while temporarily turning off the shielding effect on the suitcase.

"Let's go." Muying pulled Lily over, who was still studying the outer cover of the box, and carried her up the ladder at the entrance of the box.

As soon as the legs entered the box, Muying's mobility was restored, but now Lily's tail was useless.

Fortunately, she wasn't too heavy, and Muying could barely hold her.

"Wow, water can't get in!" Lily was surprised and touched the waterproof membrane at the mouth of the box with her hand.

Muying quickly carried her to the hot spring bathtub and threw her down.

"Huh~" Her strength is really average, and it's not easy to take out the wand and use magic to move her.

"Wow, it's so hot." Lily patted the water with her tail.

Muying, who originally wanted to lower the water temperature, saw that she had adapted well, so she was relieved and said, "You play here first, and I'll get food."

Lily nodded. Everything here was very new to her. She started to study from the bathtub, touching here and there.

Muying went to the kitchen to cook.

Considering the taste of the fish, it is better to make it lighter and try to maintain the original flavor of the ingredients.

So she made the clam meat steamed, adding shredded ginger and sauce. The bitter taste of the coral mainly comes from the outer skin. Muying peeled off the skin and made it stir-fried.

I also made a normal-flavored steak and a fruit salad, and planned to let Lily try it to see if she could accept it.

Huh? Lily?

Muying looked back and saw a "worm" with its butt sticking out, squirming on the ground.

"Lily, why did you come out?"

Lily chuckled, "I want to touch that shiny thing."

Muying followed the direction of her finger and saw that it was a colored glass magic lamp.

"Is it really okay if you're not in the water?" Muying was a little worried.

Lily shook her head, "It's okay, as long as the tail is dry, I'll wrap it with a layer of water film."

"Okay", since she said that, Muying let her go for the time being.

The dishes were placed on the low table next to the hot spring bathtub. Lily sniffed left and right, "It's really hot, and it's still smoking!"

"This is water vapor." Muying first gave her a piece of fried coral.

"What is this? It's crunchy and delicious," Lily asked.

Muying smiled, "It's coral."

"!" Lily was surprised, "Really? It's not bitter!"

"Most of the bitterness comes from the outer skin. Peeling it will make it less bitter. Stir-frying it again and adding some seasoning can suppress the bitterness," Muying said, "Try this again."

She pushed the steamed clam meat in front of her.

"I can see this, it's clam meat, right?" Lily tasted a piece, "It's not as chewy as before, but it's soft and a little salty, so it's not bad."

Muying herself tasted a piece and found it tender, juicy and quite delicious.

But looking at how frequently Lily used a spoon to scoop vegetables, she was a little uncomfortable with steamed clam meat. She preferred stir-fried coral. She also lamented that it would be great if the coral they planted tasted like this.

Muying cut some steaks and asked her to try it. This one has more sauce and is completely made according to human tastes.

Lily's face wrinkled up as she ate, "It's so bitter!"

Maybe it was to save her face that she didn't say the word "unpalatable".

It seems that her guess is correct. The taste of a mermaid may be similar to that of her turtle form. She prefers light flavors and loves to eat fruits.

The fruit salad successfully captured Lily's heart and became something more delicious than raw clams in her mind.

It seems that fruits are quite attractive to mermaids.

After the meal, Muying took some fruits and asked Lily to take her to the priestess, who was the leader of the mermaid clan.

Lily is the next priest, but it will take hundreds of years for her to succeed.

"You are here. Is this a fruit grown on the shore of this world?" asked the sacrificial mother-in-law.

Muying nodded, "This is for you. I have something I want to ask your opinion on."

She felt that the mermaid's attitude towards her was really sincere, so if she had any ideas, it would be better to discuss them openly.

Judging from what she observed, the mermaid not only has its own warriors, but also tames sea beasts, especially sharks, and maintains daily training. The territory is also protected by sea forests, and it is on the bottom of the sea. The environment is isolated from disputes on land.

, so mermaids don’t need territorial protection like myconids.

In addition, the living habits and living environment of mermaids are also very different from humans, and they are destined to be unable to integrate into the life of the crowd. Therefore, unlike halflings, they can directly circle their copies with sub-camps.

However, the material trade on and off the shore is still very exciting. It does not involve the annexation of the dungeon into the territory, and it is only based on demand. It should be easier to negotiate, so just ask directly.

Seeing the priest's mother-in-law nodding, Muying said, "Didn't I say before that I was the lord of the territory on the shore? After visiting the mermaid village, I wanted to set up a camp next to the dungeon as a market with the territory on the bottom of the sea.

Let me exchange some things from the sea with you."

"This," the priest's mother-in-law smiled, "Of course, even if you don't say it, I will mention it."

"But I have a request. Can you build the sub-camp directly close to the entrance of the dungeon door? It is best to enter your camp directly after exiting the dungeon door. This way, even if the dungeon is not merged into the territory, after the dungeon is merged in the future

, the sea forest will also be close to your camp, and it will be safer for us to enter and exit."

[You have violated the confidentiality agreement for the original world development of the Multiverse World Evolution Center. The circumstances are serious and you will be fined 50 gold]

The old mermaid priest didn't even frown. For the development of the tribe, some things must be said, but she didn't care about this little money.

An old guy who has lived for hundreds of years, joined the plan migration plan, and is familiar with various primitive world support tools in the Evolution Center, so he naturally knows what the sub-camp is.

If there is a sub-camp to block the entrance to the dungeon, they no longer need to use pearl clams to slowly plant sea trees outside the dungeon.

Isn't it because the outside world is unknown and I want to create a sea forest to hide the dungeon door and occupy a favorable environment before trying it again.

If you can step into the protection of the sub-camp as soon as you leave the dungeon, there won't be such trouble.

Muying sensitively grasped the key information in the priest's mother-in-law's words.

The sea forest and the camp are right next to each other. Does this mean that after the space fragments in the dungeon are integrated into the main world, all the land inside will also appear in the outside world?

How many times will Deep Blue Star have to expand in the future?

After all, she found four copies just around Binhai City, and these may not be all of them.

Muying realized that her previous worries might actually come true.

The current calm is only temporary, and there will be more changes in the future.
