Let es go.

It must be the work of the Star Sea Glory faction.

The systems main deity does not regard the lives of ordinary players, shielding the strong while oppressing the weak.

The lampat observed the clamor of the forum.

She drank a bottle of juice, gaining two two in emotional value.

She exclaimed, "Ke come in the dark divine realm.

" The mermaid concluded her duties for the day and was about to return home.

Approximately 2/3 of the little fairies in the dark empire had departed, resulting in a severe labor shortage.

to avoid hindering production and daily life.

The mermaid had recently spent considerable time at the Dark Empire's headquarters, collaborating with Ling Dafu to optimize the allocation structure of the spiritual personnel, enhancing efficiency while eliminating redundant tasks.

Thanks to their efforts, many processes were streamlined and superfluous formalities were eliminated.

The current number of little fairies barely sustained normal production and construction.

After completing her tasks, she realized that it was well past the usual closing time, the chime of the end of day bell having sounded long ago.

The mermaid was reluctant to leave.

Contemplating a visit to the new city until Ling Dau discovered her intentions and insisted she take a break, granting her a half-month holiday.

Confused, she pondered why she was being prevented from working more, especially when labor was in such demand.

Ling Daufu earnestly explained, "The divine being has stated that overtime is an unethical and shameless act that occupies the time of the blessed, depriving them of opportunities for growth.

Rather than seeking short-term gains, the divine being wishes for the blessed to maintain their zest for life and pursue personal development.

You seem to be feeling a bit down lately.

Try to fill the void with busyness.

How about joining me for dinner tonight to unwind?" No, I prefer to be alone.

Dau, thank you for your concern.

I will rest well.

The little mermaid bid farewell to Ling Dau.

She boarded the ethereal flying vehicle gifted by him and soared towards home.

Unbeknownst to her, Ling Dau's words had indeed resonated within her.

The Little Mermaid contemplated the importance of relaxation.

In Ling Dau's words, it meant savoring life and seeking growth and improvement within it.

As a divine being, traversing the divine realm required minimal divine energy, and she had always found the concept of the ethereal flying vehicle perplexing.

Yet, Ling Dau insisted on equipping her with one and encouraged her to embrace new experiences.

Now, seated in the flying vehicle, the Little Mermaid felt a sense of novelty.

It must be said, traveling by vehicle offered a comfort that flying on her own did not provide.

Once the barrier was lifted, she reclined comfortably inside.

Shielded from the wind and rain, she turned on the radio, allowing the melodies to envelop her, relishing the moment.

She parked the vehicle on the rooftop of her seaside villa.

Today, she would reside in this abode, where the aquatic flora of Shell Lake thrived remarkably.

The plants and insects proliferated, and a few butterfly spirits have been born.

These joyful little creatures sang lively hymns in praise of the divine.

Yet instead of feeling content, she found herself increasingly uneasy.

Her longing for the divine growing deeper, the more vibrant the planting spirits became, the more her solitude was accentuated, prompting her to avoid staying there recently.

The fishing grounds offered both freshwater lakes and the sea, and she had two residences.

She gazed at the moon island on the horizon, which seemed to transform daily, taking on an ever more spherical shape, appearing larger and brighter.

A faint red glow still spread across the divine mountain, a sign of the divine's departure.

Today marked another day of yearning for the divine.

Recently, the territory of the divine realm had been expanding continuously, revealing new wonders each day.

However, the divine had also become increasingly busy, having not returned to the divine realm for quite some time.

This thought left Oranki feeling utterly drained as her longing for the divine felt akin to a malady of unrequited love.

Sitting on the rooftop, Oranki sighed for a moment before stowing her ethereal flying vehicle in her pearl space.

She then leaped into the sea.

Chapter 221.

When will you return? On the rooftop of a three-story ocean villa, a petite mermaid with three limbs gracefully leaped into the sea, her tail curling elegantly as she dove into the water, dispersing the reflection of the bright moon.

Submerged, she spotted a plump fish staring back at her in bewilderment.

It seemed momentarily stunned, not swimming away.

Dinner had arrived.

She scrutinized the fish, deeming it quite dectable.

Sliced into fillets, it would make for a delightful hot pot.

The mermaid's eyes sparkled with predatory intent.

Reacting swiftly, the fish attempted to flee, but no speed could match the prowess of a mermaid endowed with divine powers.

The mermaid swiftly pursued, capturing the fish, which was of a similar size and utterly incapable of escape.

She triumphantly hopped back to the courtyard, laid with planks of spirit wood before the house.

In mere moments, the fish was gutted, its entrils discarded, skin and scales removed, leaving only the pristine white flesh.

After washing it clean in the seawater, the mermaid hung the meat on a rack in the courtyard kitchen to drain.

She shook her body slightly, also shedding the water clinging to her skin.

Preparing the stove, she ignited charcoal, set a pot to clean, and ready the seasonings.

The fish was sliced and the bones were cut into chunks alongside some ginger, garlic, and other condiments.

The iron pot heated and she poured in hot oil, which sizzled delightfully as she added the ginger, garlic, and a spoonful of homemade chili sauce scent by Daufu.

The aromatic blend crackled in the hot oil, sending fragrant steam wafting upwards, enveloping the sea in a peak aroma.

Once the fragrance reached its peak, the mermaid methodically progressed to the next step.

She tossed in the fishbones to stir fry, waiting for them to acquire a slightly charred hue before adding water to create a broth.

A creamy white fish soup emerged, crowned with a layer of red oil.

As the broth gradually heated, the mermaid arranged the fish fillets on a plate and sliced some ininoi mushrooms and sea vegetables like kelp and dragon beard seaweed.

A personal hot pot was thus prepared.

Settling into a lounge share, the mermaid fetched a small bowl, adding apple cider vinegar, a sprinkle of sugar, and cilantro to concoct a sweet and sour dipping sauce, awaiting the soup to reach a boil.

Just as the fish broth began to bubble, a sturdy branch extended from the horizon, shimmering with ethereal energy, revealing a little girl perched at top.

It was Lulu hanging upside down, her hair cascading loosely, swaying gently before the mermaid.

Oranki, good evening.

Have you eaten? Oranki glanced at the bubbling pot, her chopsticks poised with a fish slice, momentarily halted.

She submerged the fish into the broth and replied, "I was just about to eat.

What a coincidence.

May I join you?" With that, Lulu flipped down from the branch, gently descending to hover at chair height.

Eager to share the meal with the mermaid, she blinked her eyes at Oranki, twinkling with anticipation, awaiting her consent.

Oranki retrieved a bowl and a pair of chopsticks from her spatial realm and handed them over.

Please eat.

Thank you, kind of Ranky.

You truly are a splendid fish.

Lulu gazed at the mermaid's dipping sauce bowl and exclaimed, "I too desire some sauce.

" The mermaid, with no choice but to comply, fetched a plate from the stove filled with finely chopped cilantro, scallions, and minced garlic.

It inquired of Lulu, "Would you prefer the tangy, sweet, spicy, or the fragrant, sour, salty blend with scallions, cilantro, and garlic? I would like the sour and spicy along with the scallions and cilantro.

Thank you, you magnificent fish who excels at cooking.

" The mermaid's expression turned peculiar as her hand trembled while pouring the vinegar.

Apple cider vinegar, chopped chili, and salt combined with scallions, ginger, and garlic, were swiftly prepared and presented before Lulu.

Lulu, not one to be polite, immediately indulged in the bubbling hot pot filled with an array of vegetables and fish slices, the very ingredients she had just added.

She began to eat, savoring a piece of bonein fish fillet cooked to perfection at the bottom of the pot.

This chili and vinegar combination is quite unique, she remarked between bites.

The fish fillet, coated in sauce, appeared utterly dectable.

The mermaid joined in, discovering that the sweet and sour sauce enveloping the fish slices was indeed delightful.

If not for the peculiar taste combination, she might have considered trying it with apple jam.

The chili sauce was a gift from Dfu, who claimed it was made from fresh chilies, sought Ed, and oil, preserving its flavor uniquely.

As for vinegar, we only have apple cider vinegar at home.

I do not possess the aged vinegar you favor, the mermaid conversed with Lulu.
