Chapter 399: Chapter 400: Going to Sea
Just thinking about the soft, cute little mermaid Qiu Mo being forced to marry Bai Zheng, the cunning and deceitful man who never does a good thing but causes plenty of trouble, bothered Su Tang.
Su Tang believed that Qiu Mo’s father must be blind to not see through such a large piece of human trash!
Feeling pity for Qiu Mo, she took her into her arms and comforted, "Don’t worry! Bai Zheng is currently locked up in our prison. Even if your father wants you to become his consort, you won’t find him! If this makes you angry, I can even take you to beat him up!"
Qiu Mo nestled in Su Tang’s arms, shook her head gently, and asked in a pitiful voice, "So, you’re not going to kick me out?"
She couldn’t visit Bai Zheng. If he recognized her, her cover would be blown, and at that point, Tangtang might no longer trust her.
Su Tang quickly stated her stance, "No more kicking you out!"
Only then did Qiu Mo relax and manage a reassured smile.
...
For the next two days, Su Tang kept trying different recipes using the limited ingredients to make delicious food for Qiu Mo, as she genuinely felt sorry for the little mermaid.
Qiu Mo was enjoying herself, experiencing a level of joy that her fish-life had never granted her before.
"Tangtang! Can we have Pork Rib and Kelp Soup today?"
Since trying it once, Qiu Mo had taken a liking to the taste of the seaweed.
Su Tang, who had been changing the water for the Sea Night Mushroom, responded without turning around, "Didn’t you just have Cold Shredded Kelp this morning? You aren’t tired of eating seaweed all the time?"
Qiu Mo shook her head, "Not at all! I love seaweed, it tastes even better with meat!"
Su Tang placed the Sea Night Mushroom into a clay jar. It looked quite pleasing on the table.
"But you ate all the seaweed I had. We can’t get any more since we can’t go into the sea." n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
Qiu Mo was taken aback, "Ah... how did I eat it all so quickly? Then, maybe, I can go back into the sea and bring you some more?"
Su Tang had been waiting to hear that. With a beaming smile, she replied, "Great! Could you also bring up some Sea Night Mushrooms and your usual Fish Beasts and Shrimp beasts? I’ll cook them for you!"
Qiu Mo: " ... "
Why did she have a feeling of being deceived?
Just as Tangtang said, if she wanted more seaweed, she would have to get it herself from the sea or else there would be none left to eat.
After struggling with her decision, her food-loving personality ultimately won.
Qiu Mo made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and agreed to Su Tang’s request to help get seaweed from the sea.
Su Tang was thrilled. She quickly cleared out several large empty baskets from the storage room, called over Gaiyin and Yadang and cheerfully headed for the seaside.
The weather wasn’t great that day, the sea breeze was howling, and it felt raw against the skin.
Having gotten used to the warmth of the house, Qiu Mo had to overcome her reluctance to plunge back into the icy seawater.
With the basket on her back, under Su Tang’s encouraging gaze, she dove into the sea. The freezing cold water sent shivers down her spine.
But after a couple of laps, she got used to it. Qiu Mo dove to the depths and filled her basket with seaweed, then she returned to the shore.
Su Tang was waiting on a reef. Seeing Qiu Mo, she waved at her, "I’m over here!"
When Qiu Mo swam over, Yadang bent down to take the basket, while Su Tang handed her another empty one.
Watching Qiu Mo’s shimmering, silver tail in the water, Su Tang felt a pang of envy.
