My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st

Gu Xixi then noticed an itch under her ears. She reached out and touched it, finding small, gill-like things under both ears.

"This is something that helps you humans breathe freely on the seabed," the Mermaid King explained, stopping to wait for the large group behind him.

Once everyone had arrived, he explained what he had just said again, then pointed to the thin barrier in front of them and said, "Xixi, the underwater world is just ahead. Are you ready?"

Gu Xixi looked at the boundary between the mist and the sea, where the thin barrier was as bouncy as jelly.

"Ready." Gu Xixi released the Mermaid King's hand, pushed through the mist, and plunged forward, swinging her beautiful mermaid tail to break through the barrier and enter the seabed.

In that instant, she felt a sudden brightness before her eyes, as if her vision was on a super-clear large screen that only members could see.

The clear blue sea made her feel incredibly comfortable, as if she were sleeping in a silk bedding set.

She could breathe freely without any hindrance. Without the dry air of land, her throat felt much more comfortable. The only downside was that her mouth tasted salty.

But it tastes much milder than when eating, which is acceptable.

The others crossed the barrier, their eyes shining as they curiously surveyed their surroundings. The enormous coral was two or three stories high, a truly magnificent sight.

There are also many beautiful gemstones and huge pearls scattered around, and with the artificial sunlight, it is magnificent, giving it a feel of the 86 TV series "Dragon Palace of the East Sea".

"Welcome to my world. This is the underwater city inhabited by the Merfolk." The Merfolk King walked in front, and Gu Xixi put her hand on his arm and was led out.

Gu Xixi turned around to look for Old Yang, who gave her a "what are you doing?" look. His tail was silver-white and swayed leisurely, as if he had adapted to it all along.

The other special forces soldiers had different colored fishtails. Although they looked serious, they couldn't help but touch their fishtails from time to time.

Once Gu Xixi was sure that Old Yang was alright, she looked ahead.

Passing through the Mermaid King's bedroom, we arrived at the main hall of the Mermaid King's palace, where the decor was even more luxurious, almost blinding.

The building materials, mainly coral, shells, and seaweed, are exquisite, beautiful, and have unique shapes.

The colorful gems illuminate every nook and cranny, making it a super-pro version of the Mermaid Queen's Garden.

Not far away, many merfolk of different colors floated, each carrying a small sedan chair in pairs. They all looked at Gu Xixi and the others, revealing standard eight-tooth smiles.

The Mermaid King raised his hand, and all the merfolk said in unison, "Welcome to the underwater city!"

"Thank you, thank you." Gu Xixi waved loudly.

"Please leave your gifts where they are; a merman will handle them. Now, please get into your sedan chairs and come with me to the Coral Sea for the ball!" The Merman King invited the people behind Gu Xixi.

Then he pulled Gu Xixi into the largest sedan chair, a special extra-large sedan chair belonging to the Mermaid King. The seats were very large, more than enough for three people.

Gu Xixi sat down and gestured to the people behind her, after which they began to move.

Soon, the Mermaid Emperor's palanquin procession floated on the streets of the underwater city, moving forward at a steady pace. Countless merfolk, men and women, young and old, tall and short, fat and thin, gathered on both sides of the streets of the underwater city.

Before coming here, she thought that all merfolk were similar to the Merfolk Emperor, but now she saw that many of them were completely different.

"Those are deep-sea sharks, which live in the deeper parts of the ocean year-round. They came out specifically to see you."

Gu Xixi understood, Deep Sea Shark.

Following Gu Xixi's gaze, the Shark King explained, "Those colorful things that look like coral are coral sharks. They live alongside coral and are skilled at building coral structures. My back garden was built by them."

"These palanquin bearers are Dragon Flame Merfolk, incredibly strong, warriors of the sea, responsible for protecting the underwater city, and they can also breathe fire."

……

It turns out there are so many different kinds of merfolk. Gu Xixi was overwhelmed by the variety, as was Old Yang. For decades, he had never felt such intense curiosity.

"Mom, are those humans? They're not as pretty as us after they turn into mermaids."

"Shh, keep your voice down, or His Majesty the Mermaid King will slap you across the face. Different races naturally look different, and so do different aesthetic standards. In the human world, we might be ugly monsters too."

"But I also want a pair of human legs..."

“They are indeed kind people; I can smell it.”

……

Soon, we left the streets of the underwater city and arrived at the Coral Sea where the merfolk held their grand gathering. Amidst the vast expanse of coral, there were also large, house-like seashells.

All the seashells are arranged in circles, and at the very center is a huge stage built by coral.

Gu Xixi was led by the Mermaid King to the largest seashell, where there were two chairs, also made of seashells, which were bright white and shiny, decorated with pearls all around, and the seaweed beaded curtains were vivid and graceful.

She sat down; it was warm and smooth, not as cold as she had imagined.

The others also took their seats, and the Mermaid King uttered an ancient chant that Gu Xixi had never heard before, which the other Mermaids echoed.

[This is a prayer ceremony performed by the Merfolk before their grand festival.] The system explained in Gu Xixi's mind: [This is difficult to translate, so you don't understand.]

Gu Xixi nodded to herself: "What a fantastic world! It's so beautiful."

Soon, about a minute later, the Mermaid King sat down and announced the start of the ball. The "male mother" merman and the beautiful female merman went up on stage together.

Their tails are silvery-white, the color of moonlight, and their skin also has a cool, moonlit glow.

With every gesture they made, the surrounding seawater obediently transformed into ribbons and weapons in their hands…

It was so casual, it was as if special effects were on.

His dance was sometimes passionate, sometimes graceful, and Gu Xixi took out her phone, which was in a waterproof bag, to take pictures.

"They are moon sharks, who love to bathe in the moonlight, are in charge of the tides, and are skilled at water control."

Halfway through the dance, many green merfolk appeared.

They sang cheerful and soothing songs, and when Gu Xixi heard them, she felt a chill run down her spine and suddenly became clear-headed and energetic.

"They are green sharks, the masters of life. They are gentle and skilled at healing. This is their signature song. Listening to it can soothe the mind and purify the body of negative energy."

……

A bunch of food and drinks in shellfish containers appeared beside her. Gu Xixi was thirsty, so she took a sip and murmured in surprise, "The taste is so fresh."

It looks like it's made from fish roe...

"Because we live on the seabed, all the food we cook has a salty taste. We have many treasures in the sea, but not many delicious foods. Apart from seafood such as crabs, fish, and shrimp, there isn't much else to eat."

As they were talking, the Dragon Flame Sharks carried over a giant lobster that was over a meter long, its ripe aroma enticingly enticing.

They simply placed the giant lobster on the table in front of Gu Xixi and the Shark King.

Others had them on their tables too, and Gu Xixi immediately noticed that everyone else had the same shocked expression as her.

Who would have thought I'd end up at an aquarium while on my way to work? And who would have imagined I'd be eating a giant lobster over a meter tall?!

In the modern world, you couldn't afford it, and you certainly couldn't find such good, fresh goods.

Gu Xixi scanned the entire room and noticed that only Old Yang remained remarkably calm. "Hmm, as expected of a big shot, he's seen it all."
