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

Gu Xixi was stunned: !!

As she pinched the flesh on her waist to check, she retorted, "These are all muscles, the result of my training. This is how I can slap someone and make it hurt."

There's no excess fat around my waist; in fact, it's become firmer thanks to consistent exercise.

Gu Xixi lowered her hands with satisfaction, crossed her arms, and the Mermaid King's smile remained unchanged. "Let's go back to the Mermaid Palace. You said last time you wanted to come back and sleep in the big seashell bed I prepared for you. Let's go see it. I have a surprise for you."

surprise? !

Gu Xixi nodded vigorously; she loved surprises.

Arriving at the Mermaid Palace's back garden, in a building made of red coral, the entire bedroom is covered with carpet. The bedroom is exquisite and beautiful, and in the center of the room is a huge seashell bed, about 2 meters long.

It is pure white overall. When the shell is open, the inside is lined with other small seashells and covered with soft textiles, like a large human doghouse. You can tell at a glance that it is a good place to sleep.

One of the seashells stands upright as the headboard, but it's on the side, not the headboard. Around the seashell, there are eight fist-sized luminous pearls.

Extravagant beyond measure, exquisitely beautiful.

Gu Xixi was so delighted with the bed that she immediately lay down on it. "Mermaid King, thank you. You are truly my best friend. I love this bed. Can I take it home?"

beautiful!

With this bed, she's a mermaid princess!

With the emotional value conveyed, the Mermaid King was extremely satisfied and haughtily hummed in agreement, "Of course you can. Since I've given it to you, it's yours. You can leave it wherever you want, as long as you can take it with you."

"I am always generous and never take back what I give away. There's no need to make a fuss over a mere seashell bed."

Gu Xixi gave a thumbs-up with both hands, "You are truly my family, this is one of the best gifts I have received this year!"... Gu Xixi smiled, swallowing the rest of her words.

"You're so happy already? I've prepared a surprise for you." The Mermaid King swam to Gu Xixi's side, stretched out his arm, and gestured for Gu Xixi to take his arm.

Gu Xixi immediately obediently placed her hand on his arm. The Mermaid King swam upwards, and he thrust his cane downwards, causing ripples that obscured the path ahead.

But soon, their vision cleared again, and as they broke through the water, they found themselves on the sea where they had once watched the moon mermaids sing.

As dusk approached, the sunlight shone on the sea, making it sparkle like gold.

Although the sun was setting, it gave people a sense of boundless vitality and was full of passion.

"I heard that New Year's Eve is a time for family reunion in your human world. Your shop's employees said you missed reuniting with your family, so yesterday morning I brought your parents along as a good friend to wish you a happy reunion."

The Mermaid King's arrogant and sarcastic tone disappeared, and he suddenly became gentle.

He placed both hands on Gu Xixi's shoulders and quickly turned her around so that she was facing a large reef protruding from the sea. Three people were sitting on the reef... Gu's father and mother, who had mermaid tails, were waving to her, and Shen Qingyan was also there!

Touched, truly touched, Gu Xixi never expected that the seemingly aloof and otherworldly Mermaid King would give her such a thoughtful surprise.

She turned her head, her face beaming with a smile, "Thank you, Canglin."

"You're welcome. Go ahead. Don't say goodbye when you leave tomorrow morning. I need to get my beauty sleep." Cang Lin pushed his hand away and jumped into the sea again, disappearing from sight.

"Xixi, Xixi, come quick!" Gu's mother was unusually excited. "Come and see my tail, it's so beautiful! I still feel like I'm dreaming. I've actually become a mermaid."

"Who isn't? We're all this age. Others are mermaids, but we're old fish, hahaha!" Gu's father had barely finished speaking when Gu's mother slapped him on the fish tail.

"You're the old mermaid, I'm still the beautiful mermaid," Mrs. Gu said discontentedly. "Don't force me to slap you when I'm happiest."

"Lord Shen is here. Can't you give me some face and wait until we get back before you start hitting him?" Mr. Gu covered his tail, and only then did Mrs. Gu stop.

As Gu Xixi approached the reef, her parents immediately made way for her, creating an empty space between Shen Qingyan and them.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Xixi asked Shen Qingyan as she climbed up and sat down. "Did you conspire with Cang Lin?"

He was the only one who knew her whereabouts perfectly and could contact the Mermaid King.

"Yes, I knew you would definitely come to work here and wanted to reunite with your family, so I made preparations in advance. Cang Lin... he thought it was a good idea, so he agreed to help."

Shen Qingyan nodded. "This is a surprise he gave you."

He just gave it a push.

“You are all good children, we are really happy. Xixi, come and take some pictures for us, the ones you took last time were very beautiful.” Gu’s mother remembered the pictures taken when Gu Xixi was a mermaid, every single one of them was beautiful.

Gu Xixi immediately pointed to "Shen Qingyan," "He took this last time."

"Uncle and Aunt, let me take the picture. Let me take a family photo of you." "Shen Qingyan" took the phone and drifted away a little. The sun set and the moon rose, and the scenery changed in an instant.

The Mermaid King stood on the seabed, gazing at the warm and beautiful scene above, a hint of loss in his eyes.

An elderly merman swam over and asked, "Your Majesty, why don't you join them?"

His Majesty so desperately craves friendship, love, and family, but as the Mermaid King, he grew up alone and has long been unable to open his heart to others... Now he has met a good friend like Gu Xixi...

"No need. We only have three more chances to trade." The Mermaid King shook his head, instantly reverting to his former haughty and elegant demeanor. "We're not from the same world to begin with, there's no need to force ourselves to fit in."

He is the proud Mermaid Emperor!

……

The next morning, Gu Xixi changed her bed to a super large seashell bed and returned to her villa room directly from the Mermaid World.

She immediately went into the study and placed the second-to-last item belonging to Shen Qingyan into the tracking device cauldron. She would place another item tomorrow, and after thirty days, the cauldron should have found the answer by now.

Mr. and Mrs. Gu were smiling as they prepared breakfast downstairs, not paying much attention.

Just as Gu Xixi was about to close the safe door, a red light suddenly burst out from inside the cauldron, and the progress bar showed 100%!

We've successfully found Shen Qingyan!

The surprise came too suddenly, and Gu Xixi was still a little stunned. She stood there frozen for a while, then looked at "Shen Qingyan" behind her. If the Tracking Device Cauldron had found Shen Qingyan... then what was in front of her...?

Impossible, her intuition can't be wrong... In any case, let's go with Ding first.

Gu Xixi thought for a moment, then grabbed Shen Qingyan's hand behind her with one hand and pressed the start button at the bottom of the cauldron with the other.

A powerful suction force appeared, and Gu Xixi was suddenly plunged into the cauldron.
