Chapter 109 Angel, go find him!
The Mermaid King reached out and touched the life form he rarely encountered. He felt his heart was touched, and as he touched the flower, tears fell to the ground one by one.
Gu Xixi: You were moved to tears?
Merfolk are really kind; even though the Merfolk Emperor is so aloof, he's still very soft-hearted.
They were truly angelic beings.
So she winked at Chen Yu, who immediately went to the supermarket and brought out a box of children's toys. Gu Xixi pushed the toys over and took out a few to demonstrate.
"Your Majesty, these toys are for human children. Please take them back to your merfolk children. They are free; they are gifts."
It enhances friendship with trading partners.
The Mermaid King's smile faded, and he reached out to pull a cart full of flowers into the mist. "Thank you for your gift. You are a kind human. I will convey your sentiments to my people. From now on, I will allow you to call me by my name... Canglin."
"Also, how do I bring this sun back, and how should I use it?"
"Chu Feng, get the technicians." Gu Xixi stepped back, and Chu Feng stepped forward. He and his staff taught the Mermaid King how to use it and explained the precautions before retreating.
Only twenty minutes had passed when the Mermaid Emperor Canglin couldn't wait to swim back with the items.
Cang Lin returned to his bedroom, a house made of a giant seashell that was pitch black. He let the seashell unfold, and the light within his sight became brighter.
However, since it was underwater, even with countless luminous pearls, the light was cold and lukewarm, not as intense and exciting as the sun.
The merfolk guarding Canglin looked at what he had brought back and were all overjoyed, swimming towards him.
"Your Majesty, you really aren't lying, are you? Is this what you traded with humans for?"
"What is this? It's so delicate, so beautiful, and it has a faint fragrance! I know, my grandma said it's a flower, the most beautiful thing in the world."
"Really? Your Majesty, I want to smell it too. By the way, Your Majesty, would that human be willing to give us a sun?"
……
After Cang Lin and the others finished celebrating, he then directed the merman soldiers to begin installing the "sun." The merman palace was the highest point in the royal city, so he installed the "sun" on the highest coral tree.
The moment the "sun" was turned on, the underwater world was suddenly illuminated by a dazzling light, making the already existing light even brighter and more dreamlike.
The merfolk from the seabed all emerged from their seashell houses, surprised and cheering.
"What's that? Let's go take a look."
"That's the sun. It was exchanged between His Holiness the Pope and humanity. When you get close to the sun, you can feel warmth, the kind of warmth that humans feel."
"It's the sun! It really is the sun! Is this sunlight?"
……
The Mermaid King smiled at the reactions of all his subjects, then turned and returned to the mist.
With only 5 minutes left in the transaction, Gu Xixi thought Cang Lin wasn't coming back, but then she saw him again. She turned her toes and was back in front of Cang Lin.
Cang Lin's brows softened more than ever before. "Gu Xixi, the sun works very well. I'll tell you how good it is after you've used it for three days, and then we can discuss the next business deal. Give me some more flowers tomorrow, the more the better."
After he finished speaking, Gu Xixi nodded slightly, and as the mist began to change, his figure disappeared.
Gu Xixi only heard a faint "thank you" coming from the air.
With a haughty smile, Gu Xixi turned and walked out. This tough nut to crack was finally starting to loosen.
For the next three days, Canglin would observe the "sun" and tell Gu Xixi that he would take some human belongings back to the underwater world each day.
On the fourth day, Cang Lin came to confirm the intention to cooperate in the transaction, and Gu Xixi directly handed over the remaining 19 suns to him.
As soon as Cang Lin left, a system notification sounded in Gu Xixi's mind:
[Host, you have completed six transactions in the fifth trading world, achieving the "Transmigration with a Supermarket" mode. This mode is currently initiating and will officially open at 3 PM today. Please prepare for your transmigration.]
[When using the supermarket transmigration mode, the supermarket operates in a replication mode. This means that the supermarket the host takes to each trading world is a copy of the original supermarket; they are interconnected but do not affect each other.]
[This supermarket, located in another world, will utilize intelligent text-based pricing and product descriptions; automated checkout; and a smart anti-theft system to provide better service to customers.]
Gu Xixi hadn't expected things to happen so quickly; there were only a few hours left to prepare. But thankfully, they had already made preparations for the time travel, hehe.
She was overjoyed, rubbing her hands together, eager to try. "Chu Feng, report to your superiors immediately. The supermarket time-travel mode is about to be activated at 3 PM. Please have the relevant staff prepare. The first world we'll travel to is a parallel ancient world... the Great Huang Dynasty."
"Yes!".
Chen Yu and the others were extremely excited and wanted to shout. Although they covered their mouths, joy was still overflowing from their limbs.
They kept jumping around in place, shaking their heads and swaying.
Everyone was busy preparing, including a first-aid kit, food, first-aid medicine, and a recording device for Gu Xixi.
As for weapons, there were systemic protection mechanisms in place, so no one was prepared.
Gu Xixi liked to plan ahead, so she wore the mecha that Jade had given her around her neck.
Meanwhile, in the Great Huang Dynasty.
Fifty miles from Qingfeng County, deep in the mountains, in a cliff cave covered with moss and fallen leaves.
Chen Yanxu woke up groggily from the ground, but did not see Shen Qingyan. He had just propped himself up to look for her when a shadow blocked his view at the doorway.
"Teacher, I'm back. I found some wild fruit and killed a wolf. Eat some to help you recover." Shen Qingyan walked in, and only when he got closer did Chen Yanxu notice that he was walking strangely.
Although it wasn't very obvious, he was the person who knew Shen Qingyan best, so he recognized it at a glance.
His voice had improved a lot, and he could utter monosyllabic words, "You, leg?"
"Teacher, don't worry. I encountered a wolf when I went out and was bitten. I've already treated it with herbs." Shen Qingyan's tone remained calm and composed, but he looked quite tired.
Chen Yanxu was relieved. "Thank you for your hard work, Muzhi."
“Teacher, there’s no need to be so polite with me. It’s been pouring rain for two days straight. If there were any assassins, they would have been delayed, which is why we didn’t encounter them. But I think we should take advantage of the fact that the rain has just stopped, eat and drink our fill, and then set off for Qingfeng County immediately.”
"Okay." Chen Yanxu took the initiative to add firewood and start a fire. In the bright red flames, the wolf meat sizzled as it was roasted.
An hour later.
The two buried the flint and, supporting each other, walked out of the cave, each using a handy tree branch as a support, and headed towards Qingfeng County.
The mountain path was slippery, and the fact that their robes were cut in half made their journey in the rain even more difficult.
Chen Yanxu wanted to carry Shen Qingyan's bag, but when he reached out and touched his chest, he was shocked. "Muzhi, you have a fever!"
